(, HEAvEN.-Henry Ward Beecher says.
When / think of Heaven, do net think
of angels standing like wax candles, in
Ling altar-rows, singing hymns of praise
think of sanity life, of angelic life, the
sweetest, the gayest, the most joyous, the
fullest of every mood of fancy and good
ness. think of beings that carry light
in the eye, and joy in the heart, and ecsta-
cy in every touch"
PROBABLY the most effective method
yet tried for breaking up the latterly prev
alent practice of raising" checks, by
which so many banks have been victim
lied, is that adopted by some of the finan-
cial firms in Boston. Colcred paper of
very distinct shades is used; and the
amount of a check, within certain limits
-as, for example, 500 or less, $500 or
less, $1,000 or less, and SO on-is indicated
by the color of the paper on which it is
written.
JUDGE c., of Memphis, was recently
called to preside as chairman at public
meeting in that city. During the pro-

THE scientific expedition at the summit
of Mount Washington will remain until
May (six months) and one, at least, of its
members still longer, to make investiga-
tions among the early plants of the noun
tain region The report of the expedition
will be published in the early part of the
summer, and its appearance will be looked
for with great interest, as it will contain
many important scientific facts The
United States Signal Service will proba-
bly, make Mount Washington permanent
point of observation in consequence of its
system of storm reports.
THE Boston Journal relates an instance
of a man in that city who, during panic,
finding most of his neighbors failing, con-
cluded to follow the fashion, although
amply able to meet all his liabilities. He
called meeting of his creditors, and in
formed them that he thought it prudent
to suspend. A committee was appointed
to look into his affairs, and, at their first
meeting, one of the gentlemen said, I
suppose you know how you stand as well
as we could ascertain if we went through
your books. What do you propose to
pay?" After little hesitation the debtor
said, "Well, don't know-what are they
paying in Milk streets'
OUR NEIGHBoR's GOOD NAME.-Any-
body can soil the reputation of any indi-
vidual, however pure and chase, by utter
ing suspicion that his enemies will
believe and his friends never heard of.
A puff of the idle wind can take million
of the seeds of thistle and do work of
mischief which the husbandman must
labor long to undo, the floating particles
being too fine to be seen, and too light to
be stopped. Such are the seeds of SANDER,
so early sown, so difficult to be gathered
up, and yet so pernicious in their fruits.
The slanderer knows that many wind
will catch up the plague and become
poisoned by his insinuations, without ever
J seeking the antidote. No reputation can
refute sneer, nor any human skill pre-.
vent mischief
GUANo USED OF OLD.-The Charleston
Is. C.) NeUs quotes from q work written
by Edmund Burke, and published in 1857
to show that guano was at that time large
ly used in many parts of Spanish South
America 1t seems that at that time il
was extensively employed to manure land
that was planted with pepper, and was also
used on soil where grain and fruits were
raised The author of the book referred
to expresses surprise that "the small
Island of Iquiqua, not above two miles in
circumference, could supply such immense
quantities; and yet, after supplying twelve
ship-loads annually for century to go &c
distant ports, and vast quantity for the
use of the neighborhood, it cannot be OBJ
served that it is in the least diminished, ol
that the height of the island is at al
lessened."
