parts from splitting. In mauy i'll
stances rivcts arc utterly worthless
MS they do not draw the parts tightly
together. With carriage bolts the
parts could be kept satisfactorily
tight as fast as tho wood may shrink.

SANITARY COMMISSIONS, if they per-
formed their duties according to the
the strict letter Of the law, would find
an abundance Of minor sources from
Which arise namclcss dangers to the
public health. They should extend
their inquiries to the rcccsses outside
and inside Of houses occupied by nu-
mcrous families, and would then find
that tho neglect that springs from OBJ
stinacy and ignorance in things tha,
one would suppose every reasoning
being would properly understand, is,
the true cause Of half the epidemic
disease that comes in the hot season.
Herc arc thousands who cannot be
persuaded to keep the house sinks and
sewers covered, but leave them open
to pollutc the entire surrounding at.
mosphere, and SO poison the neiyhbors
who are moro careful. In hosts OF
cases, the adjoining houses, in this
way, become no better than vent.
holes or chimnics to mephilic fumes
that will make delicate person ill in
five minutes. Chloride of lime should
be made daily sine qua non, and the
most stringent regulation be imposed
to sccure exemption from this most
unnecessary evil. In many things
like these, we are far, far behind the
better regulated European communi
lies.

THRAsHING WHEAT As DRAWN FROM

THRAsHING WHEAT As DRAWN FROM
THE FlELD.-Whcre it can be done,
this is unquestionably the best and
most economical plan. If portable
steam engines were rs common as
they will be in a few years, there
would be no difficulty in thrashing as
drawn from the field. Two extra men
is all that is needed. But we now re-
quire two extra teams also, and these
are not always to be had. One man
can pitch as fast as any tcn-horse ma
chine can thrash. Our plan has been
to have three wagons. and two teams,
with one man to each wagon, VINO
loads and unloads. We built r. small
stack by the side OF the machinc,
holding perhaps load, on which the
man stands who cuts the bands.
While changing wagons, sheaves are
taken from the stack, so as not to
stop the mao1Rne. Let the farmer
give up all idea Of doing any regular
work himself, and attend to the
changing of the wagons and furnish
ing the sheayeg, and thero will be no
trouble. Put . steady man in tho
field to pitch, and n load will always
be ready to take the place of the
empty wagon. There are men
enough around the machine to run
the empty wagon out Of the way, and
the other is in it's place, throwing of
sheavcs in less than two minutes.
There is a. little excitement about it.
whenG everything goes right. that
stimulates activity. With favorable
weather and on large farm we would
never thrash wheat in any other way. :;
Where there is sufficient barn-room.
thrash ont of doors and put the straw
in the barn. It is then safe, and can
be lid out more conviently and with
less waste than from the stack. '"''-'-.'"

"Then was Christian glad and light
some, and said with a merry heart,
iIe hath given rest by his sorrow,
and life by his DEATH Then he stood
still awhile to look and wonder; for
1t was very surprising to him that
tho sight of the cross should thus
case him Of his burden. He looked
therefore, and looked again, even till
the springs that wore in his head sent
the waters down his checks. Now
he stood looking and weeping, behold
three shining ones came to him, and
saluted him with, Peace be to thee )
so the first said to him, tThy sins be
forgiven thec;;' the second stripped
him Of his rags, and clothed him with
a change Of raimcnt; the third also
set mark on his forehead, ard gave
him roll with seal upon it, whicl,
he bid him look on as he ran, and
that he should give it in 1T tho cclcs
tial gate; SO they went their way.
Then Christian gave three leaps for
joy, and went on singing:
Thus far did come laden with my sin,
Nor could nught case the gr, fthat was in
Till came hi,her. What L place is :bis!
Must here be the beginning of my bliss
Must here The burden fall from off my back
Must here the strings that bind it to me

grace and i'll the knowledge of our OF
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
There was something peculiarly
humble, sincere, and earnest in his
prayers. The long season of dark.
ness and distress which preceded his
reception of the truth, have charac
ter to.thc whole Of his christian life.

was taken from the fearful pit and
from the miry clay by the marvellous
grace of God, who had set his foot
firmly on the rock OF salvation.

ciple Of the Lord Jesus, when God

This man was an example Of coli.
viction and Weakening without the
ordinary means Of grace; but we sec
even here how nccdful the instrument
tality Of Gods people was to instruct
and direct this humble inquirer, and
lead his feet into the way Of peace.

II Perfect Horse.

Iuweight she might have turned when
well conditioned, nine hundred and fifty
pounds. In color she was dark chestnut,
with avelvety depth and soft look about
the hair indescribably riclT and elegant.
Many time have heard ladies dispute
the shade and hue of her plush like coat
as they ran their jewelled fingers through
her silken hair Her body was round in
the barrel, andperfectly symmetrical. She
was wide IN the launches, without pro-
lection of the hip-bones upon which the
shorter ribs seemed to lap. High in the
/ withers as she was, the line of her back and
deck perfectly curved, while her deep, OBJ
ique shoulders and long, thick forearm,
ridgy with swelling sinews, suggesting the
perfection of stride and power. Her knees
across the pan were wide, the cannon bone
below them short and thin; the pasterns
long and sloping; her hoofs round, dark,
Shiny, and we'll set on. Her name was a
shade darker than her coat, fine and thin,
as thorough-bred's always is whose blood
/ is without faint or cross. Her ear was thin,
sharply pointed, defieately curved, nearly
black around the borders, and as tremu-
lous as the leaves of an aspen. Her neck
rose from the withers to the head in perfect
curvature, hard, devoid of fat, and well
cut under the chops. Her nostrils were
full, and thin almost as parchment. The
eyes, from which tears might fall or fire
/ flash, were well brought out soft as q ga
zelle's, almost human in their intelligence,
while over the small bony head, over neck
and shoulders, yea, over the whole body
and clear down to the hoofs, the veins
stood out as if the skin were but tissue pa
per, against which the warm blood pressed
and which it might at any moment burst
asunder. IA perfect ANIMAL" Tsaid to

The Largest Diam Ond in the
World!
AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.

Nearly century ago, an old gentleman
was passing along road in old Virginia
where party of worthy emigrants hac
been encamped sometime before. AS Ii,
walked leisurely forward rabbit crossed
his path.
The old man stopped to pick up stone
AS he lifted his arm in the sunlight his at
tention was attracted by the beautiful
manner in which the stone reflected thu
light, and instead of throwing it he pu
it into his pocket. Returning home h,
gave it to his children to play with, with
out attaching any value to it. Some days
afterwards an intelligent physician called
at his house and observing the stone offered
six dollars for it.
worth six dollars it was worth more, and
declined it. Soon an opportunity offered
to send the stone to England by trusty
friend Of the family. On reaching London
he went to consult an old lapidary named
Fox. After careful examination, this man
said YAH America is not able to buy that
stone"
The agent, alarmed at finding himself
the custodian of so great a treasure, avoid
ed any further effort to bring it to notice,
and availed himself of the first opportuni-
! ty to return home. Some time after par
ty Of six men came over from Maryland,
and offered in lands and negroes, what was
considered equivalent to to 100000. The
6#ner argued as he did whsrf the first of
fer was made, and declined.
In the meantime the man died, and as
the circumstances of the family were COM
Portable, no special efforts were made to dis
pose of the stone. 1t passed down through
several generations, being carefully conceal
cd until after the war, when it came into
the hands of DR.. Daugherty, of Methanisa-
burg. Penn, whose children are legal
heirs. The doctor applied the various tests,
and found it to possess the characteristics
ofthe diamond. His opinion was con-
| tirmed by several scientific friends.
1t is of course in its rough. It possess
ses superior degree Of hardness, and rea-
Oily cuts glass. 1t has the peculiar ada
mantine lustre, and acquires virtuous cfec-
tricity by friction, has doubled retractive
power ard is colorless and transparent.
| There is only one suspicious circum-
stance connected with it, and that is its
size. It is somewhat larger than any dia-
mond hitherto described
! The largest diamond known seems to
be that Of the Rajah of Mattan, in the East
Indies, which weighs three hundred and
sixty karats, while this stone weighs
four hundred and fifty karats. The dia-
nond possessed by the emperor Of Mogul
weighs two hundred and seventy-nine kar-
ats, and was rcckoned worth 100000 ster-
! ling. The stone has been sent away to
pass the scrutiny of the ablest scientific
man of this country, and there is every rea-
son to believe that America can boast the
! largest diamond in the world

THE STONES OF SoLoMoN's TEMpLE.-

mons Temple were said to be forty cubits
long, twelve thick, and eight high. Sup
posing cubit. to be eighteen inches,
which is the largest estimate, they would
be sixty feet long, eighteen feet thick, and
twelve feet high. And supposipg cubic
foot of marble to weigh 2,7O7 ounces, one
ofthesc stones weighed 2,752,0SS pounds
10 ounces. Ifone man was able to raise
200 pounds, it required 1890 men toiaise
one of these, and also alittle boy who could
raise SS pounds IL ounces. Suppose one
man to require square yard to stand upon
it would require 2 acres, 8 roods, / 1 per-
ches and twelve yards for them to stand
upon while raising it, besides place for
little boy to stand. What floats must have
been necessary to carry them across to Jop.

Of being one solid stone! =
