DEGRADATION OF SWEARING.-It is no
mark of gentleman to swear. The
most worthless and vile. the refuse of
mankind, the drunkard and the prosti-
tutitute swear, as we'll as the hest dressed
and educated gentlemen. No particular
endowments are required to give e. finish
to the art Of cursing. The basest and
meanest of mankind swear with as much
tact and skill as the most refined; and
he that wishes to degrade himself to the
lowest level of pollution and shame,
learns to be common swearer.
Any man has talonts enough to curse
God, and imprecate perdition on himself
and fellow-men. Profane swearing never
did any good. No man is richer, or wiser
or happier for it. It helps no ones edu-
cation or manners. 1t is disgusting to
the refined, abominable to to good de-
grading to the mind Improbable, need
less and injurious to society; and wanton-
~ to profane His name. to call His ven
geance down, to curse Him, and to in
woke His vengeance, is perhaps of all of
lenses the most awful in the sight of
God

equivocal evidences of dissolution had
already appeared. Undertakes and
others having charge Of funerals should
be compelled to ascertain that death has
occurred before co6ining the remains.
The idea of suffocation In coffin is more
terrible than that of torture on the
rack or burning at the stake. Careless
ness cannot be innocent: even Ignorance
In such Eatter is akin to crime. A
mockery is our sorrowing, our tears are
are little better than hypocrisy, when we
neglect precautions against this terrible
fate to which every one of US is thus
liable.

A TRUTHFUL HEN.-A youthful
hen found an egg, and yielding to
the vernal instinct, sat upon it until
the process of incubation was COM
pleted. Her mother, who had laid
the egg and had taken great pains
in shaping and coloring it, came
along, and seeing only the broken
she'll, burst into tears and said,
''Alas my daughter, who has de-
stroyed my favorite egg 2" The
feathered offspring quickly respond
ed, 81 can not tell a lie, mother, I
did it with my little hatch it.

1t youngmen knew how much a

never should we find them yielding

destroy body and soul.

1t will at least take the sting from
partisan hatred and show that while

Perhaps the camps Of the children Of

OF country Immediately around Saline City,
OF this county, if exaggerated accounts
have not been furnished u.s. This bird,
SO peculiar to the harvest fields of the
West, seems to be emigrating TO the south
ward, and has selected Saline City-the
place where the railroad crosses -also-as
the phceFto effect crossing of the Mis-.
sonri River. The river is more narrow at
Saline City than anywhere else for miles
up or down the stream, and the quails, US
did the railroad engineers were not long in
finding this out. These birds, like the
turkey, cannot fly far at time; if, there
fore, they make the river clear from bank,
to bank. they are so nearly exhausted that
the inhabitants, who daily gather there for
that purpose, catch them almost as soon as
they light. Many lose their altitude sufi-
ciently not to keep out of the water, and
being Indifferent swimmers, are forced to
come ashore and be "gobbled up" The
inhabitants of that community, we learn,
almost live on quail meat.

squirrels went also. The squirrels, as most
of our readers know, cannot fly, but they

missing them, until he concluded to watch

A PETRIFIED CHURCH.-There is a build
ing in the village of Mumford, in this
cou, ty, a church, for the Presbyterian
organization of the place, which will be
decided curiosity as well as beautiful
place of worship The material used is
obtained from swamp near the village,
and is composed of petrified leaves, roots,.
tw'gs, muck, etc, together with limestone.
The blocks taken out are of various sizes,
and are asily worked by masoas to the
requisite proportions. They are dressed
so as to leave the matter of which they
are composed exposed to view, as the iIu-
print of the leaf, or rather the leaf ITSELF
The stones are light brown. though they
vary in color sufficiently to relieve the
eve from the sameness which is, untortun-
ately, popular in such buildings. The
building has been admirably planned by
Mr. Warner, the Rochester architect, and
is rapidly approaching completion under
the general direction of Oliver Allen, who
conceived the idea OF using petri6ed mat
ter for the purpose, and labored against
much opposition until it was adopted. he
material is of course durable, and will, so
far from becoming weakened by age, be-
come stronger the older it grows. Appli
cations have cen made from all parts of
the country for it. but there will be little
more than enough for the completion of
the church now building. Hundreds of
people are visiting the new edi6ce from
curiosity. and it is hardly necessary to say
t. at all are grati6ed with view of it and
of the raw material of which it is composed.
