FACTS AROTTRICE.

1t is stated in "The Natural History OF
Commerce and is a well known fact that
the rice from the Southern States Of Ameri-
ca is decidedly the best, being much sweet
er, larger, and better cOlOred than that
from Asia. where its cultivation is not so
we'll managed. 1t is necessary to except
Bengal rice, which now nearly equals that
grown in the CarOlinaS. South Carolina
produces the best American rice, and Patna
the best East Indian variety. Excellent
rice is also grown III the Spanish provinces
Of Andalusia, Valencia, and Catalonia, as
well as in the marshes of Upper Italy, espec-
tally Lombardy and Venice, and in the
plains Of Milan, AIantu9, Verona, Parma,
and Modena, along the river Pc. Most Of
the rice used in England comes from the
British and Dutch East Indies ria Calcutta
and Batavia, and from the CarOlinas, Bra
iii, and Egypt. The Brazilian comes into
commerce from Rio JaneirO, and the Egyp-
tan 600, 900 cwt.) from the Delta Of the
Nile, ria Damietta and Rosetta. Immense
quantities of rice are consumed in England,
in the form of puddings and confectionery.
The straw is plated for bonnets.
Rice paper is not manufactured from this
grain, but is the pith of a shrub called by
the Chinese "Tacada," and by bOtanists
-Irdliu pdpyrjtcrd (L.) The pith, carefully
removed from the stem Of this plant, is first
cut spiralIy with a sharp knife then unrolled,
spread out, and pressed flat. This paper is
much used by the Chinese for water-celor
painting of insects and flowers.
Rice, although regarded by us more as a
cheap luxury than necessary article oftOod
forms the chief subsistence Of the HindOOs,
Chinese, Japanese, and other eastern ma
tiOns. The Burmese and Siamese are the
greatest consumers of this grain. A Malay
laborer requires 30 lbs. monthly, but a
Burmese or Sianese Ga lbs. The mountain
rices Of India are grown without irrigation,
at elevations Of 3, 900 to 6,O0O feet above the
level of the sea; the dampness of the sum
mer months compromising for the want Of
artificial moisture. Rice in the husk or
rough rice is sometimes called by its Indian
name paddy" Before it can be used for
food this husk must be removed. This is
done in India amongst the poorer people by
rubbing the grain between flat stones, and
! winnowing or blowing the husk away.
The cultivation Of rice undoubtedly dates
/ from the Oldest periods of which We have
any historical record. Ecclesiastes Vi. l,
! Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou
shalt find it after many day. evidently APP
/ plies to rice, which in Egypt is always sOwn
whilst the waters Of the Nile StiIl cover the
! land, the retreating floods leaving a rich de.
/ post Of thick alluvial silt, in which the rice
vegetables luXuriantly. 4 spurious liquor
/ (arrGcb) is distilled from rice.-LhTa!

GRE STILL. AND KNOW THAT L AM



Iknelt beneath the star-lit sky,
The star-lit sky of early spring;
The siIken clouds that float on nigh
TTnfurled each soft and snowy wing;
Then silently within her sphere
THE uatieiit moon her watch began
while Ineteors in their swift career
Adown their blazing pathway ran!
The waves were bright, and earth was free
To worship in her beauty there,
For murmurs sweet came Ger the sea
As if its deeps were hushed in prayer!
A whisper thrilled the evening breeze,
And swept across the dewy sod,
heard it on my Bonded knees
'sBe still, and knOlg that am God"
Upon a smooth, unruffled sea,
Where gently smiles summers day,
A vessel rides with anchor free,
The sunbeams mid her shrOuds at play.
She glideth DER the clear, blue deep,
A Thing of beauty, strength, and grace,
Her gilded prov the waters sweep,
As soft it yields to their embrace:
But 10! from out his leaden lair
The thunder demon leaps on high,
The white-winged lightning meets him there
And caverns to his shouts reply
The vessel stands one moment still,
Then darts along the trackless path,
While winds uncuTbed now toss at will
This plaything Of the oceans wrath.
No wilder shrieks e'er met the ear
Than those which thrill the black'ning all,
Nor ever cheeks so pale with fear,
As whiten on each tTembler there;
The hand that's mighty when it saves,
Now bent the bow at mercy's nod,
And harkl voice amid the waves
"Be still, and kHOl0 that / an Cod"
A mOurler stands beside the bier
Where rests form as pure and fair,
AS wise and good as any here,
Ere death had held banquet therei
No voice can rouse him from his grief,
No hand can tear her from his side
Tears, tears to him would bring relief,
But tears have in their fountain dried!
And through his gentle, feeling heart
There flows a cold and silent lake
He will not from tie casket part,
But keeps it for the jewels sake.
Rejoice, We soothing friends, reioicei
He bends him meath the Christening rod,
For to his soul there comes a voice
''Be still, AID kHOJ0 that an God"

! told her that her marble brow,
Ger which her auburn locks were straylng,
Was like a drift OF pUrest snow,
Where golden sunset rays are playing.
/ told her that her soft blue eyes
Would shame the brightest stars Of heaven,
That walk the chambers Of the skies
Upon mOOnless summer even.
I swOre no sunny cloud could vie,
In snowy sOftness, with her BOSOM
And that her cheeks had stole their dye
From the wild rose and magnolia blossom.
I vowed that unto her alone,
Ny burning heart had worship given;
That should She on its homage frOwn,
'Twoud then to dark despair be driven.
And then I gazed upon her form,
And pressed her small white hand with ferTOr-
And asked her if, mid calm and storm,
She would be mine, and mine forever.
And | swOre I'd keep my vows,
As true as rule, OF square, OF plummet;
But-she placed her finger on her nose,
And told me that couldn't come it,

READ THE FOLLOWING LETTER
FROM A RELIABLE DRUGGIST:


MOUNT VERNON, ILL, April %, 1S71.-Messrs,
j. n. Harris & Co., Cincinnati, OhiO.-Gentle-
men: L heard one of my customers speak in such
high terms of Aliens Lung Balsam to-day, that
l thought would write you the substance OF his
statements. He says his mother, who is now
sizty years Of age, has SUFFERED with CONsUMP-
TION for SEVERAL YEARS, and has been under
the care Of al best physicians, but never re-
Ceived any permanent benefit; then she resOrted
to every kind of Cough and Lung BalSam that
could be procured for her but all to no aUdiL. She
still grew worse, until she was confined to her
bed; and when she was seized with a paTOXysm
of coughing, she would lose the pOger Of respirG-
ton, and they were compelled 10 resort to var
iOus means to restore breathing; and while she
cOugLed so hard she could not eXpOrate anything,
and the family and friends had given up all hopes
of her recovery. Her son noticed the advertise
meut OF Aliens Lung Balsam in the Christian
Advocate, and they thought they would procure
and try 1t. They commenced giving her the Bal
sam at D O'Clock Pm. as directed, dose every
hour until midnight; then she took another spell
of coughing, and eXpeCtOrated a mOUthfUl of
dark, yellow matter, which was something she
had not been able TO do for some time. They con-
tinued to give her the Balsam until morning, and
then she began to eNpectOrate freely, and within
two hours she had EXPECTORATED TWO PINTs Of
mucous matter, which gave her immediate re-
lief; and since that time she has continued TO
improve. She now sits up all day, and can walk
about the house and take considerable outdoor
exercise. Her son bought more of the Balsam
to-day, and he is recommending It very highly to
every one. Yours respectfully,
A. G. JOHNSON, Druggist.

FIRST BOARD.
GGunfRrfefia.

The Washington Republican of the 18th
inst. says:
The ffty-doIlar legal tender note which
is pronounced a counterfeit by the majority
of those who have examined it, seems to
pHzzle the officials at the Treasury Depart
ment. The engraving is equal in every
respect to the genuine, and one of the eX-
perts thinks it is a genuine note but has
been subjected to some experiments which
changed the color Of the carmine and
blurred the vignette.
The Treasury Department has unques-
tionable evidence OF the general circulation
of counterfeit fifties of the new legal tender
series, and Col. Whitley is already at work
ferretting out the parties engaged in circu-
latiug the cOUnterfeitS.
