Gutta-Percha.

Gutta means the gum or juice of plant,
and percha means the particular tree from
which this gum is procured.
This gum is contained in the sap and
milky juices of the tree The way in
which the gutta, or gum, is obtained is
by cutting down the trees, and ringing
the bark at the distance of from ten to
fifteen inches apart, and placing cocoa
nut shell under the fallen trunk Of the tree
to receive the hardened sap that oozes out
upon every incision. After the sap is
collected, it is boiled to separate the gum
from the water. When the gum has be-
come well softened by boiling, it is rolled
out in thin sheets, and all impurities are
picked or rubbed off,
This gum is remarkable for the ease
with which it may be manufactured. By
immersing it for few minutes in hot wa
= ter, it becomes soft and plastic, and may
be moulded to any form, which it retains
upon cooling. This was discovered by
the inhabitants of the Malaysian Islands.
who manufactured it into various domestic
articles, some of which were buckets, tubs.
basins, jugs, and shoes.
The gutta-percha tree is a native of the
Malnysian Islands and the ncighborinp
countries, where it attains the i, ght Of
from sixty to seventy feet, and from two
to four feet in diameter.

Salt Lake.

A writer to the New York Express, un-
der date of June 20, refers in glowing
terms to the beauties of that now famous
locality. He writes:
The sky here just now, and the earth
are paradise-and the heavens above.
and the earth below, remind one more of
Grenada and of the regions of the Alham-
bra and the Alcazar, than any other land
l have ever been in. Here rushes cool
ing mountain torrent passing right through
the very heart of the city, almost under
the walls of the Tabernacle-and there
ripple innumerable little rills through the
streets, making happy the grass, and the
trees. and vegetation of all kinds, while
overhead are the +" Nevadas," the snowy
hills tempering the hot rays of the now
burning sun, if not by thermometrical
admeasurement, by all the inspirations of
the age and the delusions of the imagina-
ton. Heaven, earth, thus all tempt a
man to Mormondom, if not to be a Nor
mon. 1t is not marvel that man is hap
py here, and if slavery, as some socialists
say, is the destiny of woman, even in the
heart of Christendom the slavery here is
compensated for by this air, this earth,
this sky, these grand surrounding noun
tains. looming high up in the skies, and
these fruits Of the earth, that flourish as
man asks for them, from snowy mountain
side to living meadow.

Our Olio.
Poverty in the Parsonage.

" The following remarks from the pen of
DR., Guthrie are recommended to the con-
sideration of our readers:
The calamity which stand in dread of,
and which, next to the withdrawal of the
divine blessing, is the greatest Church
can suffer, is that the rising talent, genius,
and energy of our country may leave the
ministry of the Gospel for other profess
sions. "A scandalous maintenance,
Mathew Henry says, "makes scandalous
ministry And l will give another,
equally true: "The poverty of the par
sonage win develop itself in the poverty of
the pulpit" / have no doubt about it.
Genteel poverty, to which some ministers
are doomed, is one of the great evils under
the sun. To place man in circumstances
where he is expected to be generous and
hospitable, to open his hand as wide
as his heart to the poor, to give his family
a good education, to bring them up in
what is called genteel life, and to deny
him the means of doing SO, is enough, but
for the hope of heaven, to embitter his ex-
istence.
In the dread of debt; in many daily
notifications meeting, perhaps, some old
acquaintance, whom he dared not ask to
his table, lest his prudent wife should
irown upon his extravagance in harrass-
ing fears what shall become of his wife and
children when his head lies in the grave ;
man of cultivated mind and delicate SEN
sibilities has trials to bear more painful
than the privations of the poor
1t is bitter cup, and my heart bleeds
for brethren who have never told their
SORROWS, concealing under their cloak the
fox that knaws at their vitals.
