For the SENTINEL.
THE WHY; AND AFTER.


From the cradle wailing cry,
A wailing cry by the grave;
Born on one day,O another to die,
And be taken by the hand that
gave.
The cradle and the grave are the
bounds,
That hedge in the life of man,
While Time, the avenger, in its
ceaseless rounds,
Each day makes shorter the
doubtful span.
1t is the old, old story Of life,
The coming and going OF years;
An endless scene and a cruel strife
Begotten and born OF tears.
What life? The one this side of
the River?
The one we have for day?
Where is that one to be enjoyed
forever?
Does the Christian point the
way?
Christian! what Of that shadowy
world
Where that otherlife is to come?
Tell US before the avenger hath
hurled
The dart that shall strike us
dumb.
Yes; what and where is heaven;
What and where is God,
Who invented the leaven
That shall raise the dead from
the sod.
La mort est an sOnseiL eter7ael,
Was wrote on the graves in
France;
The sleep of death is eternal,
The things Of this world but
chance.
Black words Of i'll omen, less than
notion,
Spawned of bad dreams, rlay be,
There is a grandeur IN the soul
out-shlning the ocean,
That cannot be lost on life's lit
tie sea.
Grasping the past with remem-
brance,
The future with hungry hope,
The two are the sum Of life and
endurance,
Though the end may be found
in a rope.

B0RAX

and its hemical nature was frs
discovered by GeOffroy in 1882. 1
is largely prepared from the ma
tural product, boracic acid; and is
itself found native in various parts
Of the world. The Jumps dug out
of the ground are sold under the
name of tincal or crude boraX. 1t
is abundant in Peru and Ecuador,
in the great sandy desert, which
extends back from the Pacific
coast to the Andes. All the crude
borax requires refining to prepare
it for most Of the uses for which
it is adapted. But bOrax prepared
from boracic acid almost wholly
supplies the demands Of COM
merce. Pure anhydrous borax
consists Off equivalent Ofsoda and
8 of bOracic acid--in 100 parts,
1929 of soda and 69.31 Of b0racic
acid. The crystaIlized ,bOrax con-
tains different proportions Of wa
ter, according to the form Of the
crystal. The common heXagonal
variety consists of 10 equivalents
of water, of soda, and l of bo-
racic acid; or per cent. 47.13 Of
water, 1928 of soda, and 1864 Of
acid. But when it crystallizes in
Octohedrons it contains only 5
equivalents of water. Borax is a
white salt of sweet taste, soluble
in twice its weight of boiling
water. 1t melts by heat into
porous mass, which at q temper
ature increased to redness runs
together into transparent glass,
called glass Of borax, the specific
= ravity of which is 2.36. Exposed
to the air, bOrax slowly attracts
and its surface becomes
coated with a white powder. 1t
has the reaction Of an alkaii
upon turmelic paper.-The REIN
ing Of crude bOraX has been con-
Quoted in the seaport towns of
the Mediterranean from remote
times, and particularly at Venice.
The name Venetian bOraX has
thus been synonymous with the
refined article. Various processes
have been adopted for this pur-
pose. Artificial borax is prepared
from b0raeic a5id by boiling
this with carbonate Of soda; the
carbonic acid is expelled by the
b0raric acid, and boraX crystal
Lies on cooling. The operation,
must be conducted on a
large scale and very slowly, in
order to obtain large crystals.
BOrax is adulterated with COM
mon salt, alum, and phosphate of
soda; with alum to certain extent
that it may be detected by the
taste, and when in solution and
ammonia is added, the whole
may be converted into a thick
jelly by precipitation of the al
umnia. Litmus paper also de-
tects it by the acid reaction Of
alum, in turning the blue color to
red. Phosphate of soda has been
found in English horax to the eX-
tent Of 20 per cent. The uses Of
b0rax are as fiux for producing
fusible silicates inisassaying. In
and welding it forms q
fusible protection to the bright

The Cholera.

It is strange that false report; seen
to get along so fast, but it is accord
ing to the old adage that q lie travels
so much faster than the truth, that
the truth seldom oyertakes it. We
learn that most wonderful reports have
been circulated through the country in
relation to the rasages Of the cholera
in Huntington We believe it to be
the duty Of d newspaper to give strictly
correct reports Of all such things and
have endeatored to do SO in this paper.
We now repeat that there has been at
most, not more than or deaths, in
the last 2 months OF white adults in
this place, that We have heard OF, and
two or three adult negroes. There
has been also, several deaths of child
ren. We give below IN accurate &C
count, which te guarantee tersOrally,
to be exact anu elitirs. We TAXI the
list from the books of the only finder
taker in town, who has buried all who
have died:
June 90, man at the kodnd House
July LIST. Mr. Donnella.
2nd Mrs. Jopes.
eth Mrs. Cowan.
oath Mrs. Rhrpper.
June 23d colored man from Greeuup
July lst. colored woman.
9th, colored woman.
During the same time there have
died nine children, all but three of
whom were under two years Of age,
and most of them uuder one year.
This shows not only that we have
had no epidemic here, but that TIE city
is remarkably healthy. 1t shows that
in a population Of about $500, there
have been. including infants, in the
most s:'kly part of the year, only
about II deaths Of whom hit 6 we're
over 3 vars Of age.
One of these deaths was y lady
over so y90rs of arc, who had been a
sufferer for many months, aua Whose
death had been expected se'eroI times.
