FALLING LEAVES.

One by one they fall and fade,
Some in the sunshine, some in the shade,
Some in tie bright and glowing noon,
Some meath the cold and quiet moon
One whirleth here, one falleth there,
Till the ground is covered, the Dough is bare
So every field and path receives
These fading, falling, dying leaves.
"One by one we fall and fade.
Some in the sunshine, some in the shade,
Some in the bright, unclouded light,
Some in the cold and quiet night.
One mourneth here, one parteth there,
Till the soul is weary, the heart is bare;
So every field and path receives,

The Chinese Question.

The Chinese date their history back be-
yond the "Flood Of Years." and believe
it covers more ground than Millions
paradise Lest" They have positive
proof that they commenced ninety per
cent Of everything and stopped very near
to the commencement. If they had ad-
hcred to the same principles in regard to
emigration, the Californians and Knights
of st. Crispin would feel more reconcilcd
to the arbitrations of fate. The Chinese
question is the ouly problem that Uncle
Sam cannot cipher out-of the country,
but there's some indications that John
will have better success in ciphering out
Uncle Sam. Their greatest trait of char
acter is imitation, and they have about
the same amount OF soul that a photograph
camera possesses. They cultivate more
square feet of BARRIERS meadow than any
other people, and are not often caught
robbing inanima,c mortality to extend
their waterfalls. In dieting they are con-
tirmcd disciples of George Francis Train
and Dio Lewis, and can eat more soup
with pine stick than any terrestrial liv-
ing. Their opium is worse than "Jersey
lightning" and any one belonging to a
Chinese Prohibition Party is not allowed
to cultivate peoples. They can beat II
down-east Yankee in building substan-
tial stone wall, and Il Kentucky lottery in
perspective drawing. They are not war
like people, and it is thought that Ben
Butler, single handed, could insti9ate
and successfully Carry out iirst-class
Chinese rebellion. The Chinese religion
is cheaper than many other belief, as
they never indulge in new spring bonncts
or pew rents, and behead their ministers
that fail from grace instead of defending
them with jury trial. Their mechanics
work by the rule of instinct and never
attempt to earn living by strikes or
trade unions. liz the matter of dress they
generally wear their interior garments on
the exterior, and unless contaminated
with the "Melicans" adhere to their
fashions as closely rs a Hick,ite Quaker.
At the end of each century they add a
thousand new characters to their alpha
bet. and when n Chinese youth wishes 10

Lightning-C Conductors.

Franklin meant the lightning conduc-
tors which he invented to consist Of iron
alone. Iron, however, has too strong an
affinity for oxygen to allow of this. All
moisture, and all heat corrode it more or
less and thus grew up the custom Of
pointing the conductors with copper, and
in some cases with costly platinum, SOL
dcred to the iron rod. But exposure to
weather, and the weak galvanic currents
which unavoidably set in where metal Of
one sort is in contact with metal Of an
other sort, cause rapid decomposition at
the joint, and encourage the rust to eat
into the substance of the rod. A heavy
flash will melt or cripple conductor
thus imperfect, and then woe to the
structure! This defect can now be cured
by coating the iron rod with nickel, Il
metal which deies rust, and which con-
ducts electricity better than the pure iro,
does. Bars and rods of this nickel!zed
iron have been kept under water for sew
eral days without furnishing, and resist
the effects of the most powerful battery
of Lcyden jars.
1t had been believed, until lately, that
platinum was a metal with which no
rogue, however dexterOus, could tamper.
The platinum coinage of the Russia of
thirty years since was considered inimita-
BILE by the manufacturers of false money !;
while the capsules, crucib.es, and other
apparatus required by scientific men
we're sold according to the high market
value of what is really precious metal.
Uuluckily, fraud has been found possible
even in this case. The Director of the
Royal Italian Observatory on Nesuvius,
NJ. de Lucca, surprised At first finding
one and then another of the platinum
points Of his conductors melted by the ef.
feet Of lightning. made careful invesii-
CATION, and discovered that the platinum

FRUIT BUTTER.-The american Groce,
says :u'Frait butter'may be made in the
country very easily and cheaply. The
same purpose that sugar subscrvcs in the
MANUFACTURES may he accomplished there
by the use of cider. When apples are
ripe, make say three barrels of cider.
Then pare and core four bushels of APP
pies. Then boil down three barrels Of
cider to one and half, and set it con-
venient to the copper kettle, in which
place the four bushels of apples. Pour
on to the apples from the cider enough
to answer the purpose, and then fire up.
AS the cider boi!s away add more and
more, until it is all used up, and the con-
tents of the kettle brought down to IA
proper consistency, of which one must
he a judge. A little practice will make
one perfect in this process. This is for
apples. 1T will apply equally as we'll to
any other kind of fruit from which it is
practicable to obtain the juice as one
would from apples"
