THE ROCK OF DAifSEB. In a aernion lately delivered by the Rev. Joseph K. White, occared the followin passaire: - Id the trait of Suoda, between Java and Sumatra, ia a small rock called the Stroom - Rock, the top of which ia juat washed and half covered by the wavea, while all around tha water ia ao deep that no anchor can touch bottom. A snip was once paasing 'through these atraits, carried on by the tide, with acarce wind enough to fill her a ails. ' The current bore her rapidly on toward the i rock. ' -The danger was seen and every ef- 1 fort waa made to guard against it. The yards were braced, but the wind no longer filled I her sails, and on the ship sped to what seem d her destruction. . The loud commands of ithe officers, and the willing responses of the sailors were hushed, " and ailently each watched the rapidly approaching danger. IBttt when hope almost turned to despair, a Ihreath of wind fills her aaila, the ship obeys Iterfcelra, the dark rock within the foaming sea is seen over the ship's side, and then at its stern, and all hearts breathe free again for God had saved the vessel and her crew. Ia the voyage of life, in some straits which ra may have passed, has no Stroom Hock lain in our way! ao temptation to sin seemed ready to whelm ns in destruction? Have mm not tried to avoid it, and felt that our .strength waa weakness, and almost in the .death of despair have we not cried for a .breath from Heaven, and out from the un .seen world has there not come, like the twlnrl, aa iufiaeace that has saved us 1 -i A MOB MAST'S Wisk.

' INDUSTRY ARID GE.MLS ThtJt are many teachers who pro:esa to show the oearest way to excellence; and anany expedients have been invented by which the toil of study , might be saved. But let no man be seduced to idleness by spe cious promises. Excellence is never granted to man but as a rewarj of labor. It argues, ir.HMd.no small strenath of mind to presevere in habits of industry without the pleasure of perceiving those advances whicu, "Ke ine hand of a clock, whilst they make hourly approaches to their point, yet proceed so Inwlir mm tn eseane observation. There is "une precept, however, in -which I shall only be opposed by the vain, the ignorant, and the idle. I am not afraid that I shall repeat it too often. ".You must have no dependence on your own geniue. If you have great Ulentsyittdsatry will improve them; if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency. Nothing is denied to well directed labor; nothing ia io be ob tained without it. - : TBS ICTCMN OF LIFE A short time before the death of the late Judge Davis, on the occasion of a dinner party at his house, at which Justice Story And other eminent jurists and lawyers were present, the conversation turned on the com parative advantagea of the different periods of life. Judge Davis did not state hia opin ion until he was invited to do so; and then, in that calm and benignant manner for which lie was remarkable, he said: - "In the warm season of the year, it is my deHght to be in the country, and every plea while I am there, I love to sit at the window and look upon some beautiful treea which grow near my house.

CHISELED HEARTS Why is it that poets make Cnpid a little archer, siogof his swiftness, and rhyme him in with hearts and darts, and painters pin pretty golden wing to his shoulders that he may fly, but belore they fioish him tie a bandage over his eyes to hinder him! After all this trammeling, lovera so fear bis weap ons that they stand trembling in the presence of their fair ones, fainting from the supposed loss of blood which the fatal stab has caused! . Now, we do not believe that Master Cupid is any sncb fairy-like abstraction as be is represented to be, but a real bonajldc matter of fact personage, one whom the ladies would do well to treat with common courtesy at least. Such intangible wreaths ef orange flower sentimentality will do very well to trim the ideal bridal cake, but seem quite out of place around the brown loaf of e very-day life. Once on time our little air haired, sly footed hero pulled the bandage from his eyes turned geologist, and with basket, hammer and chisels, went forth among the fair onee of his village to examine their hearts, and it possible ascertain of what metal they were made. Corning to an elegant mansion, he gave the bell a pull, and waa waited on by ser vant girl. "Take my card to your mistress," said the geologist, "and tell her I am come to examine her heart! The servant girl, though aomewhal sur prised, did aa she waa directed. Miss Clara for Clara was the name of her mistress- was young, handsome, proud, and an heiress; and was at that very moment, by her sallies of wit, cutting sarcasm, and mild evasive answers, torturing a pale young student who had the presumption to sue for ber hand. She received the card with a haughty air, and jocosely said, "Show him up," then re sumed her coquettish flirtations with the stu dent, alternately inspiring hope and awaken ing fear. So intent was she in this heart blighting business, and so lightly fell the footsteps of the geologist along the carpeted halls, that he entered un perceived, and was soon chiseling away at her heart. It took but a lew strokes of hia hammer to enable him to-decide upon ita quality. Slate stone," said he, "and rather acaly also. Ah! this heart will never do for me it u susceptible of only a light impression, and that is soon effaced; but it wounds never to. heal. I will write upon it, "Know thyself," but T-auppoee the injunction - will soon be forgotten." " So the geologist departed, leaving the proud beauty to reap the reward of ber flir tation. - 1 ' !- He next came to a low mean dwelling, in the rear of a great thoroughfare; seated near thy only window in the room waa a pale, thin damsel, clad in a neat but humble attire. The shades of sadness fell darkly over her young brow, , and often a deep sigh would escape her lips. ; Her angers were busily plying a nedele, stitch alter stitch, aa the thread was drawn forth by weary band, seem ed to strike a telegraph wire which recorded in heaven "Oppression of the poor." The geologist struck one rap with his hammer on her heart; "twas all unheeded, ho rcBptfh'ie waa there, no elasticity." He IHe'j to chisel 'twas cold, and hard and heavy, and the print of both hammer and chisel was left; Upon a closer examination be dibcovered that it was covered all over with indentations of rarious depths and fig urea. 'Poor girl!" aaid he to himself, "your heart, whatever it may be, is encased in lead; no wonder it looks hard; and cold, and dull, for such has been your lot in life that this leaden shield was necessary to keep your heart from destruction; but if the rays of friendship cottld shine tfpoh it, this jcader case would melt, and the gem within glow with silver brightness. But I cannot wait to bring about this change; t must fiotl ma a heart to-day, for I may lose all my sober judgment to-morrow, and be nothing but a winged Cupid again." .So he wrote on it with a sharp style, "Blessed ate Urey..who mourn now, for they shall be contfottedj" and went his way. He had liot proceeded far before" he per ceived a group of young ladies standing near one of the street crossingsI eagerly engaged in coversation. A brilliant brtlrjetl fixed his attention she was richly dressed atid sparkling with jewels. "I must have a tap at her heart," said ne; "for one would suppose by the setting that the getu was of rare value." So he glided up, unperceived, ana gave u . i - i - : I i...Aj t.: a rap. A craneu, ringing cuuuu .au.cu ears. "What a mistake in judgment!" he exclaimed. "This heart which I supposed was of gold, is nothing but plate brass, and poorly made at that! 'it naruiy worms. scratch, but I will write nppn it, "Tinkling cymbal fit heart for a belle!" He next tried his hammer upon iub neari of a damsel who stood beside the brunette. She was very fair, with a cold, leaden eye and passive mien. At the first stroke of his chisel, pieces flew off into bis race. " l his," said he, "is nothing bat chalk! One (night make a rough sketch With it, bWt cotf Id Sever produce a beautiful picture. 'Tis quite tod earthy for me." So he wrote "Fickleness" upon it, and turned bis attention to a third figure in the group, Bhe was a rttatd on thirty years, tall, trim, and neat, but there was a sert of precise ness and band-box air about her, which at first quite intimidated him. At length he summoned resolution to give her heart a rap, and soon learned that action was equal to reaction, for hia hammer was repulsed with a violence proportionately equal to the force of the blow. "Ah me!" he exclaimed, "a marble heart, smooth and beautiful, but cold! fit monu ment for buried hopes!" I must have some thing warmer. The geologist now became quite discour aged, and was about to return home and give over the aearch. when the sound of musie arrested his attention. It proceeded from an opposite side of the street. He listened, and the sounds grew more and more seraphic, and he imagined the performer must be an gelic. "How fortunate," said be, "that I did not retrace my steps, for here is, doubtless, just the heart for me; at any rate I mutt try my chisel and hammer upon it." He crossed the street, and entering unperceived, was for a moment entranced by the superior love liness of bis charmer. He now ' took his hammer and chisel, and began upon her heart, but not the least impression could be made upon it. There it was, unmoved, in all its brilliancy. 'This must be a diamond heart,' said be, "and I will possess it. I will cut my own image upon it, and it shall be mine forever." So he' hammered and chiseled away, and his charmer sang on. ' The strokes grew harder; his chisel became dull; the face of the hammer .'waa broken; hia arm became tired, and not even a faint outline of hia own image appeared. ' "It will be labor lost, after all," said he. "This heart, though it may be a diamond one, can never be assimilated with mine, an did possess it I fear it would not make me happy. It seems to be a heart more for ornament than use. I must have both qualitiea in oae." He would have written upon ft uMent, mene tekil, upharsin," but-the temper of the steel was toe brittle. He now resolved to search' no further, but in the retirement of his chamber to reflect calmly and dispassionate ly on the subject, till he could come to some definite conclusion respecting the kind heart of the most needed, aud the most devotedly love. While he waa walking along id this contemplative moud, he came to a neat farm house, which wore such an air of content ment, through all its surroundings, that be determined to go in and rest himself. Giv ing a gentle tap at the door it was opened by an artless damsel who gave him a cordial welcome, and perceiving that be was weary brought him a cup of cold water. Her cheeks were radiant with the hue of health, and through ber eyes shone out the peace and light of the soul; her face was brimful of the "milk of human kindness." The thought soon suggested itself to our tra veler that be would try the heart of this simple girl, so he rapped lightly upon it. The response was full and clear. "This is good metal," said he, "I know it by the ring, so he continued to hammer it. In a short time it grew warm. MAh," said be, "there ia life here." Soon spsrks were elicited. "There is an active. , undying principle here!" He now tried his chisel upon it; the strokes J were bold and the impression full no rough ness, no brittleness he could cut it where' he pleased, write hia own thoughts there; the impress waa permanent, yet the heart was warm, ductile, but firm. "I am a hap py man at last," said be, "this heart ia iron. It will endure all suffering, brave al! danger, and fit it to any emergency; and though it ia not brilliant like the diamond, or fair to look upon like the marble, 'tis susceptible ef j a far higher polish. It will receive any temper I choose to give it- It will receive any impress ia short I can make it thefio- 1 est steel, when it will be fit for the most or namental as well as useful purposes. Yes, give me the iron heart, so firm, yet mallea ble. It can warm and melt, and purer grow till it reflects my own image, and yet be iron still. I will engrave my name upon it, end none aball dispute my claim." So saying, he drew a magnet over it, and the simple iron heart became attracted to him with an unal terable attachment. MORAL. Select heart of metal sore, Theo mould It to your will. VT orth. more than beauty will andtire, And jet be beauty atlU. MISPLACING THE SWITCH A toast recently given, runs thus: "Our parents; the only tenders who never mis place the switch." Now, you may laugh at that -so did I but where could yen find greater fib? Ma ny a time -and oft have parents laid the switch on their children's back when they should have applied it to their own; many a time has the lash, which should have descen ded upon the back ol the favorite, fallen upon his much abused brother's. There is noth ing in creation which parents so often mis place as the switch, and it need not of neces sity be a birchen rod or ferule, there are switches which cut deeper than either, of which many a ruined man or woman can teil you. I ' knew two children one blundering, but honest, sincere, self-reliant, speaking the plain truth on all occasions without qualification, making his requests in few wurds. and smothering his disappointment as best he might, when refused. The other wifey, diplomatic, Chesterfieldisfj, ever with a soft word on the tip of his tongue, to pave the way for the mtrcrr desrred boon," which was never refused, so winning, so courteous, so ap parent waa the seeker.

From ineOe&aace Republican. : ' -t . HOW TO SUSTAIN YOUR COUNTY PAPJE1C . . 1. Lay aside your fears that the. Editor will get rxcAfaster than bis neighbors. . We have never heard of a man making more than a decent living by the publication of a country newspaper, even if it bad ever such a good business. A case in point ia an ac quaintance ef ours, who has been publishing some six or seven years, has bad all the bu siness of his own town and county, and a large portion of that of the surroundings; but with al! this he gets into as ligfrfp inch es ter money to buy his white paper with as any other publisher with whom we are ac quainted. 2. If the paper agrees with your way of thinking in politics, subscribe and pay for it, and persuade your neighbors of the same mind to "go and do likewise." Du not' tell the.editor to send you his paper without puy- ing for, it and when you get to owe two or three dollars tell your friends who speak of it that the paper is of no account that i. will bust up some of these days. The way, under such a state of the case, to keep a paper from "bursting up" ia for each sub scriber to keep the editor's books free from charges against himself. Once we hid to close, and, on posting up, found we had book ed and outstanding some $200 more than we bad capital invested. This thing of apply ing the credit system to the newspaper busi ness may be likened to a farmer selling1 out hia crop, a bushel to the man. The., sum each owes for the bushel doea cot eeesa of any account to the debtor, but the aggregate of these bushels may make break the poor delver in the soil. 3. If you have a father, mother, brother sister, or friend of . any kind residing at a distance, and are able, subscribe, pay tor and send them a copy. 4. If you have any printing you wish done do not "jew" the editor down to a starvation price, and when he comes to make a purchase of you "spike on the tariff." ,; .! , 6. If you have any advertising or job work to be done take it tu the paper of your political faith, except, perhaps, yon wish to advertise ia more than one paper- .,?fi- 6. Do not run off to the city to get your handbills, labels, cards, &c, printed, because forsooth, you can get a reduction of a few cents tn price. "Support your own as you would wish to be supported." A man who is always running away from home with his . business, little deserves the patronage of the community ia which he lives; and, as far as we are concerned, such will receive "the cold shoulder." ' 7. If you have the control of any legal advertising send it to your political friend. This kind of business pays better than any other, and the more you can send to the editor of your paper, the belter for him and it. In proportion to the amount of the re ceipts ot a paper is an editor enabled to make it useful, amusing and entertaining to the community in which it is published. THE PARTICULAR LADY. There is a coldness and p'ercUlon oboilt this, person's dwelling that makes your heart Shrink back (that is, if you have the least atom of sociability in your nature) with a lonely feeling, the same which you experience when you go by yourself and for the first time among decided stran gers. Everything is in painful order. The dam ask table cover has been in just the same folds eVer since it came from the Vender's shop, eight year ago; and the legs of the chairs have been en the exact diamonds in thedrugget they were first placed on; by-ihe-by, do you ever remember of seeing that same drugget off the earpet underneath? No for she never has company tHti rmltinr;. the untidiness they would occasion, would cause the poor soul to be subject to fits fur the feat df her natural, or rather unnatural life. Though untidiness is a fault all people should avoid, especially the' young. yet for mercy's sake urge them not to be particular; Bae will become as hateful in the sight df her friends as a sloven ; The particular lady generally lives lit the kitchen and an excruciatingly tidy one it is. The great parlors, with their cHltisom curtains, Turkish carpets, mammoth mirrors, beautiful mantels, and elegant paintings, always closed. Nobody visits them; the children tread on lip-toe to steal a glance ititd tbetfl, their eyes expressive of wonder ment and a cautious air of dread; She is all the time dusting and washing and scrubbing, sild scrubbing and washing and dusting. The door-steps, the wash boards must be daily scrubbed, though im maculately white they already bet The Very knives, forks and spoons are rubbed thin and genteel by repeated cleaning. You can tell her crossing the street) she watches for every vehicle and waits until it has passed a square, for fear of being t plash ed and even in dry weather she crosses on the joints of her tees, and holds her dress above her ancles. Herconstant fidget wears the flesh from her bones and color from her cheeks. She never can get a servant to stay long with her. We never heard of but one "particular lady" who retained a ser vant longer than a year, but she was ts "par ticular" as her mistress. GIVE NO PAIN. Breathe not a sentiment, say not a word, give not an expression of the countenance that will offend another, or send, a thrill of pain to his bosom. We are surrouaded by sensitive hearts, which a word, a look even, might fill to the brim with sorrow. If you are careless ol opinions of others, remember that they are differently constituted from yourself, and never, by word or sitt, cast a shadow on a happy heart, or throw aside the smiles of joy thut linger on a pjeasanl coun tenance. A difference of opinion on political points ia not imputed to ireemen as a fault. It is to be presumed that they are actuated by an equally laudable and aacrcd regard for the liberties of their country. Let your hand give in proportioa to your purae; remembering, always, the estimation of the widow's mite, but that it ia not every one who aaketh that deierveth charity. All however are worthy of inquiring or the de serving may suffer. OCTOBER 22, M TRIM OX T.

Dl "tJreena la hi Ucker ' A traveler from Virgin's, as his blooded horse plethoric saddle bags and haugh ty imocianee indiclaed, stopped at a comfort able wayside inn in Kentucky, one night many years ago. The landlord was a jolly, whole souled feilow, as landlords were in those days, and gave the stranger the best entertainment his table and bar would af ford, as well as his own merry company to make bin glad. ..Early iu the morning the stranger was up and looking around when he espied a rich bed of mint in the garden. He straightway sought boniface, and, in dignant at what he supposed his inhospital ity in setting plain whisky before' him, when the means of brewing nectar, were so easy of access, he dragged him forth to the spot and pointing with his finger at the mint be exclaimed : "I say, landlord, will you be good enough to say what this is !" "A bed of mint," said the somewhat as tonished landlord.'' ' 1 "And will you please tell me what is the use of ill'' . ,Si' "Well, don't exactly know, 'eept the old woman dries it sometime with other yarbe." The Virginian almost turned pale at the enormity of this assertion. , "And da you mean lo tell me that you don't know what a mint julep isT" ; "Not 'cept it's something like sage tea, at ranger." ! "Sage tea! Go right along to the house, get a bucket of ice, loaf sugar, and you best liquor." t . .. .. :" The landlord! obeyed and "the' stranger soon made his appearance with a handful of fragrant, dewy mint, and then they brew ed and drank, and brewed and drank again; breakfast was over, and the stranger's horse was brought out, only to be' ordered back. Through the livelong day they brewed and drank: one or two of the neighbors dropped in who were partakers, and late in the night their orgies kept up, ere they made It bed time, the landlord and his Virginian guest, who had iuitated him into the pleasant mysteries of mint julepr were sworn broth ers, and when the latter departed the next morning, boniface exacted a pledge that he would stop on his return, and stay as long as he pleased free of cost. The strangers business, however, detain ed him longer than he expected, and it was the next summer belore he came back.

Peril er Teaehlns UtaiiiriiSr. I have been sendin my darter Nancy to school, to a sehooUmaater ia this habot-hood. Last Friday I went over to the school jest to see how Nancy wss gettih' along, and I sees things I did'nt like by no means. Tbe schodt-mastor Was larnih' his things entirely out of the line of education, aad as t think improper. I Bet a while in the school-room and heard one clas say their lesson. She aaid it very spry, I was shokt! and determin ed she should leave that school, l'v heerd that gramer was an uncommon fine study, but I don't wan't any mofe gramer about my houe; The lesson that Nancy said Was hoihin' but the most ridiculons luv talk you ever seed. She got up an the furst word she said was I luv!' I looked right hard lor her doln1 so improper a thing, but she wett fight on and sed, 'Thou lovestj he loves,' and I rekin you never heerd sicb a rigermer ole io your life luv, luV, luv, and nolhiu but luv. Bhe sed one lime, 'I did luv.' Sea I 'who did you luvl Then the schol ars all laffedi but I wasn't to be put off, and I sed, "who did you luv, Nancyl I want to know; who did you luvl" The school-master, Mr, McQuailsler, put In and sed he would explane when Nancy finished her lesson. This sorter pacyfled me, and Nan cy went on with awful luv talk. Itgot wus and wus every word. She sed, 'I might, could, or would luvl' I stopt her agin, and sed I recin' I would sec about that, and told her to walk out of the house. Tho school-master tried to in terfere but I wouldn 't let him say a word. He said I was a lool, and I knocked hi:n down, and made him holler in short order. I talkt the strate thing lo him. I told him I'd show him how be larns my darter gramer. I got the nabors together, and we walk'd Mr. Mc Qri'MIrter off in a hurry, and I recon tharl bs no more gramer teachin' in these parts soon. If you know any rather oldish man in your reegen that doant teeeli gramer, we wood be glad if you wood send him up. But in the footure we will be kcerful how we imploy men. Young school-masters won't do, especally it they teeches gramar. It is a bad thing for morale. Yours-till deihi TjHPMAa. JSTXERSoit Sole.

The Newport Free South, an independ ent anti-slavery journal published at New port Kentucky, has a leader in a recent number on the "Sacredness of Judicial De cision." It regards as one of the curiosities of modern times the swe and veneration with which the party calling itself Demo cratic, has all at once been brought to re gard judicial decisions, especially a late de cision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It says: '. The decision, though contrary to the n niforin practice of the Government and the understanding of the people for three score and ten yearsand subversive of tbe doctrine ! ol Popular Sovereignty for which the lead era of the party at the North had stoutly contended, was immediately adopted, at the dictation of its Suuiuern heaJ, into its po litical creed as the pole star for its future guidance. "The Supreme Court," they ajr, "has decided that slavery has a consti tutional existence in all the Territories of the Uuion, and that neither Congress nor the people of the Territories can exclude it therefrom, but are bound to protect the slaveholders in the enjoyment of their slave property. Such is tbe decision of the highest tribunal iu the land, from which there is no appeal, and to which al) good citizens are bound quietly to submit. As an authoritive exposition of tbe meaning of the Constitution which is the Supreme law ot the land, all legislative bodies, all judicial and executive officers, State and National are bound to conform to the principles ot this decision, and to be controlled by them in tbe discharge of their official duties." Such is the decree promulgated by the magnates of the party, and to it all the aerfs respond. Amen. It did not uee to be so with the party calling itself Democratic, in former years. Until tho slave Ollhrsrchy made them servile, its leaders were no such sticklers for the sanctity of judicial decisions. They held that the judiciary was but a co ordinate branch of tbe government, and that its decisions, though conclusive upon the rights of the parties in tbe cases before it, were aot binding upon tbe officers in other departments of the government, who as well as the members of the judiciary, were bound by their official oath, to support the constituti on as they understood it. Tbey broadly asserted that Senators and Representatives, the President, and all ex ecutive officers, acting under the same- re sponsibilities, were as competent to inter pret the constitution for themselves as were the judges of the Supreme Court. Tbey went further and extended this right of pri vate judgment to every citizen of the Republic.,-. ...... ;. V? , ,: , . , The action of the party in its Conven tions waa conformable tu this d octrine. -With such men oil the bench as Chief Jus tice Marshall, Joseph Story and Bushrod . Washingt on, the Supreme Court had decid ed, not with a divided bench as in the Dred Scott ease, but unanimously, that the char ter of the United States Bank by Congress was Constitutional. Yet in the face of that decision, the Democratic party has, for the last twenty-five years in National and State Conventions, solemnly resolved that . Con gress has no constitutional right to ebarter a National Bank. It is simply because the Dred Soott decision supports and extends Slavery, to do which the Democratic leaders are under bonds, that it has such an awful sanctity in their eyes. -. We appeal to every intelligent Democrat to say whether the dicta ol Chief Justice Taney and Judge Wayne are entitled to more weight or ahould carry greater author ity than the opinions of Chief Justice Marshall and Judge Story. If not, how will he account for the fact that the decision of a divided Court in the Dred Scott case, is held more sacred and binding on the govern ment aud country,, than the decision of a unanimous Court in the case ef the United Stares Dank, except on the ground that the former decision establishes slavery in all the Territories of the Union and nullified every attempt by Congress or by the people of the Territories to exclude it tberelruuil It is manifest that tho principal reason why this Dred Scott decision is received with such Veneration, that it is accuunted treason to the party to dissent from iie dic ta, is that it makes i ho constitution, by its own inherent force, to carry slavery into the Territories and protect it there. If this de cision shall be permitted to stand as the law of the land and the rule of political action, the perpetuity of Slavery in the Territorieb and in the Slates lo be tunned out of them, is insured; We know that it is said that the people when they come to form a State Constitution, may prohibit Slavery. But this right is, in effect, denied by the Dred Scott decision. Upon these doctrines, President Buchanan save a true practical commentary, when he asserted in his Kansas message that in the formation of a Slate Constitution, the people have no right to in terfere with the title to slaves, held in ihe Territory at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. They may prohibit the im portation of slaves alter the adoption of the Constitution, but cannot Iree those held as chatties at the time ot its adoption. Tu is denies to the people of the Territories any constitutional mode by which they can rid themselves of the curse ot slavery, but sad dles it forever upon them and their posterity. The President's Bull, translated into plain English, is "No more Frkb States." The New York Post, commenting on Mr, Va.-ley's report remarks: Many import-tut lessons have been learn ed Iroin this cable, and many are yet to bu learned, perhaps, belore il ceases as in the natural course of things it will soon cease to bind the two continents in elec trical uuion; but it is uow very clear that, like the vegetation ol a past season, this cable is ol no further use, except as a means of preparing for another anJ better. We may expect at any moment to learn that the continuity of the cable is interrupted. From thai moment it ceases to be of any value for any purpose. But the practica bility of an electrical union of the two con- linenu has been established, and It is idle lo suppose thai such a discovery will reinui'i long unimproved.

Double Elopement -The Baker tidlleai Case Outdone. Mr. Lloyd, a highly respectablo farmer of Wicklitt", arrived in this city last evening in an excited state pi mind.. lie sought out Marshall Gallagher and told him that his twj daughiers had eluped M .inlny night iih two hired men, brothers, and named respectively Chauncy Lewis and Watson Lewis. Mr. Lloyd said he thought they were in this city. The Marshal put on his seven league boots and commenced walking rapidly round the city. He lound the enterprising parties at last at the Franklin House, on Pearl street. Wstsuu Lewis had . already married one of the sisters and retired for the night, v Cliann cy Lewis was makiiig arrangements to mar ry the other sister, when the Marshal ap peared and took him and his imeouVu to the police station. Lklng Chauncy Lewis up in the Watch Houae. Mr. Lloyd took his daughter to the Cotmnerciul House and lock ed her up in a room. Mr. Lloyd, in adjition to being an exten sive and nourishing farmer, keeps a tavern in Wickliff, which Is Very favorably known throughout this section. It ia located near the lakesliore, and near wlicie the stenmer Griffith was burned soinp years since. Mr. L. owns some four hundred and fiity acres of land iu Wickliffe, and is quite wealthy. His daughters are named Mary and L-iura. Mary is about twenty yefS old and Liura about sixteen. They are splendid looking girls and are fashionably and richly dressed. They are botU well educated, having enjoy ed superior advantages in this respect. ' - The Lwis brother are uncoiilh, unedu cated and overgrown specimens of humani ty, and run neither read er write. They hired out to Mr. Lloyd some six months fo. He paid Watson, the eldest one, $13 and Chauncy $10 a monlh. Chauncy Lewis, the young man who didn't get married and who passed the night in the watch-house, is a sleepy and stupid appearing young man. -We doubt if he knows enough to exorcise the sagacity of a common Sbanghaie chick en and go under cover when it rains. He ivas released this morning at tha suggestion of Mr. Lloyd and requested to "scoot," which he hastily did. He promised, with tears in his eyes, never tn come within ten miles of Wickliffe again. The married brother of course cannot be interfered with- ' , The parties eloped at about II o'oclock on Monday night and were not missed until yesterday morning. The brothers hired a horse and buggy at Willoughby, and went to Mr. Lloyd's house where the girls were awaiting them, with their trunks all packed. The girls left the house noiselessly and got into the buggy and moved slowly towards Cleveland. One of the brothers walked all the way here (about sixteen miles) and the other rode and drove. Arriving here they stopped at the Commercial House. In the evening a Justice was called in and Watson and Mavywar awried,-. Chauncy , and Laura concluded to postpone being united until this morning, which conclusion fortunately enabled Mr. Lloyed to prevent the ceremony. The parties all moved from the Commercial to the Franklin, where they were found as above stated. This is a mostremarkable case of elope ment that we ever heard of. It utterly e clipses the Boker and Dean case. VVhot two handsome and cultivated girls, as the Misses Lloyd certainly were, could find to ad mire in such fellows as the Lewis brothers, is more than we can imagine. Mr. Lloyd and his wife are overwhelmed with grief by this inexplicable conduct of their daughters. Condition of the Cable-.. Discouraging Re port from Mr- Verier. At last we have something official and in tellioibie in regard to the condition of the Atlantic Cable. Mr. Varley, "the Electri cian of the Electric and International Tele graph Company" so he is styled by Ihe company has made a report ou the state of the cable ae observed by him on tbe 6th, 7th, 6th, Oth and 10th of September, aud the result is by no means encouraging. He finds "a fault of great magnitude at a dis tance ot between -J45and 300 statute miles from Valenlia," aud possibly in water 410 fathoms iu depth. He finds the cable un broken, but thinks ihe power used will shortly eat away the exposed copper wire in the faulty place by electrolytic decompo sition. He is satisfied also that there is another "fault" more distant than this, the approximate locality ol which he could not estimate without communication with New foundland. From authentic data shown hi in at Vulentia, he is also of the opinion that there was a fault in the cable on board the Ayamcinn jii belore it was submerged offering a resistance equal to 1,000 or 1,200 miles of cable situated at a distance of about 660 miles from ono end of the 1,200 mile coil, and suppuved to be the fault which caused so much alarm when the ships were 500 mites from Irt-I.iiid. He is satisfied that the cable has heeu seriously, it not fa tally, impaired by the use ol too powerlul currents from the large induction coils, es pecially from lliiaside, and that the present conducting strumi is too sm..ll to have an swered i:s purpose, eveu hud the ineiilaliott been found. We here quote what he says: "To s.ilio v mysell on ihispoinl, I attach ed lo tlm cable a piece o. gulta perch-Cover-ed wire, having first made a alight incision in the galls p rchu to let the water reach the wire; the wire was thou bent so as lo close up the defect. Tue del'eclive wire wus then placed ill a juij of sea water, and Ihe latter connected with tlu) "eautU." Alter a few signals bad been sent from the induction cuil into the cable, and conse quently into the test wire, tha electricity Uurnt through the incision, rapidly buruiny a hole nearly oue-u-iith of uit inch in di uincier. When the full force of the coils was brought to bear on tUo test vKice by re moving iheui I rom ihe cable, and allowing ihe electricity ouiy one channel, via: tiiul I of the test wire, the dusctwrges, os might ! be expected, burnt a hole in tho gulta per ch a under ihe water hall' an. inxh '.in. length, j and the burnt gulta peciba came floating up j to the surluce." Mr. Varley closes his- discouraging cata logue with whalrtboagh intended lo convey sotr.i consolation to ihe directors, is perhaps the most discouraging part of this report. I He says: , "Iv Uwot, however, altogether I irn,iaitil iKili anme inullii'ibla su-lluls may yet be received through, ihe cable, as stated in my paesious communication." lie does not say that such a result is even probable, much, less thai the present cable can ever be turned to any practical use, but : implies a contrary opinion.

My method this season baa been this: Take the eggs of the first laying and set under hens; the second laying let , the turkeys hatch. Two or three days before. '' hatching sprinkle the nest and the ftMle themselves with sulphur. When the yoong- ' were hatched I took a little sulphur, gon-- " powder and lard, mixed', and greased tbeif heads and necks, to keep off the vermin while the young brooded.

Every judicious experiment h draining- (we agree with the Country Gentlemen, unlike many other experiments, must al ways result in' successi- . It may, therAsra seem unnecessary td'record the resofaa but so decisive, and stri king do- they genecadly prove, and at tbe same time tlu;y are so lit tle appreciated by those wno have never practiced thorough draining, that we ara al ways glad to record these results- for the encouragement of begffrners1. The editor of the New England Fsrsser gives in a late number the delaus M a re cent experiment. Stoffe drams two feet . deep were first employed some yoara ago and their immediate effect was to increase tbe product of the low, wet land through which they were cut from one ton of poor coarse hay per acre to "three tons of good English hay per acre." But tbe droitaiaijf was not deep enough; the ditches gradually became choked and rusnea and coarse- gvaaa resumed their growth. The land was then thoroughly drained by cutting four feet deep and taying l pipe tile. Previous to this operauon, alteaapta . were made to tile it; it eoeW not be plow ed, however, till about the close of tha spring months, and even then waa so wet . that the furrowa were left in compact mas ses, which were afterwards broken to pieces with great labor by the boe. The last spring (the draining having been eeeapleted) ii could have been easily plowed "-at any time after the 10:h of April) and, during the wet month of May which followed, and at any time since, notwithstanding the con at a ut succession of rains, the' soil has been so light and porous as to fall to-pieces when ever it has been workesT, It is now cover fd with the heaviest crops thai kave ever stood upon it."
