The special prediction under tho Sixth Vial is the drying up of tho river Euphrates ; that is, a progres sive evaporation ot Maliometauism, beginning in ''20 and expected by every student of prophesy to end in a very short time indeed. It is, you will observo, to die out ; it is not to bo struck down. It is the evapora tion of a stream not tho destruc tion of a citadel ut a blow. But while this power wastes and with ers, it does not follow that the Rus sian Eagle is to have the Mosque of St. Sophia for his eric. The Turks may not cease to bo, when they cease to bo Mahometans. Thoy may become Christians. Tho 9, 000,000 of Eastern Christians that am under the Crescent, and subject to all its insults, its oppressions, aud its tyranny, may riso up a glorious nation a mighty dynasty a no bler obstruction to Russian Ambi tion than tho decripit and dying Turkish Empire, which Western nations vainly try to keep up. Tur key, just at tlio period predicted in prophesy, began to die out, as wo have already seen. The evidence of this is recent testimony respect ing Her. Uamartiue, mono of those sagacious aphorisms by which his eloquence is distinguished, says, " Turkey dies for want of Turks." Has gradual decay of the Turkish Empiro identifies tho period in which we are now with what iscal led in the Apocalype tho Sixth Vial. Mr. Habershon, in his excellent woik upon tho subject, calculated, in 1S30, that the Turkish Empiro would cea&o to exist soon after 1810. He wus not very far wrong. Its end is at hand. Every day I ex pect to hear of its stream dried up, of the Crescent waning, and of Tur key as a nation that was, not a na tion mighty, and longer able to main tain itself. Plague, fumine, pesti lence, profligacy, are fast drying up her empire ; her exchequer is now all but bankrupt, her momentary success against Russia is a surer prognostic of her destruction. Brit ain and France, like clouds, may spread over the Euphrates, and try 3MisrcIlfliirous. to prevent the evaporation of its wa ters; but all in vain. Tho ruthless Czar has his stern mission. Tho echoes of victory by tho fleets of (he Ambitious Autocrat, mid the cruel destruction of tho Turkish, aro now resounding though Europe. This gradual decay of tho Crescent, after tho period predicted under tho Sixth Vial, which commenced in 1820, when the great river Eu phrates began to be dried up, is as suredly taking place. Its final de struction may bo looked for every day, as it has been since 1850 ; and now Russia, like a gigantic vulture poised in mid-heaven on outstretch ed wings, waits for the moment to descend and destroy, l'caco or war equally exhausts Turkey. Help her (aud it is a duty to aid the op dressed,) and you may soften her Jttll, I'll yill ttot tlverf hfV do xij. The time fur blotting Vllt J lit- key from the map is at our doors. Tho 'sure word of prophecy' is stronger than the combined llcctsof England and France Wo watch at this moment for th issue ; and I confess, while I dread and depre cate tho cruel ascendency of tlie Russians, I long lo see the expiring throes of an empire that has long oppressed tho free, and crushed the good ; to hear the last boom of Ma hometan cannon; and to sec the wido-pread lands around Constanti nople, so beautiful aud so fertile, otnorgo from the deluge of Mahom etan superstition, and not Russia, but Christianity ascendant as the re suit, and thereby the way prepared for the march of the kings of the East to their beloved Palestine, the land of their fathers, thoir destiny, and their rest. The Blind Girl and her Bible. 'roan the ttMtee Trareller. Many yeors ago, said tho Rev. Monsieur V , when a student in the University of Geneva, I was ac customed to spend tho long summer vacations, travelling from village to village in my native France, preach ing in the oixin squares tho king dom of God, distributing His holy word to those who would accopt it, and teaching from house to house. On such nn excursion in the sum mer of 183 . 1 entered a little vino hung cabin in the environs of Di jon. In lis low, wide kitchen, 1 saw a middle aged woman busily ironing, a boy yet too young for la bor, and a girl of some seventeen or eighteen Xiyjrs, of a sweet, serious aspect platting straw. She did not rniso her eyes as I entered, and, on a nearer approach, I perceived that she was blind. Saying that I was one sent to bring glad tidings of good things, 1 began to tell them the story of Christ, his love, his suffering, his death. They listened attentively. It was indeed tidings, now and won derful, to them, like others of the ,m,l" i"y .; i "-- next day, and the next, i visited the widow's poor cottage. Poor sightloss Marie ! how was she affected when I told her of Him . .... .,f O . '!H. , , , i , i i i ' who opened theoyes of tho blind,,. and read to hor how blind Rartimus sat by the wayside bogging, when he cried unto Jesus of Nazareth pas sing by, and received sight. Then an irrepressible- longing, such as she had nover known before, a longing for God's blessed gift of vision, seiz ed upon tho poor blind girl ; not that she sighed to behold the bluo hcav ou, or the golden light, or to look up on her mother's smile, or gaze in her brother's laughing eyes. No, not these ; but she longed to read the blessed words of Jesus, how ho said, 'Cotno unto mo, ntid I will give you rest.' Thore dwelt then in Dijon a man of God, who had gathered around him a fow blind, whom ho had taught to read and work. I sought him out, told him ol Marie, interes ted him in her, arranged that she should come an hour every morning to learn to read, and procured for hor a Bible with raised letters for the Blind. You should have seen hor delight as slio started on next lnorniuc a warm, bright August morning one y ' "'"c substances, will point in hand locked in hor little brother's, n direct line to it, and thereby inui and the other fondly clasping the ca to its exact location. precious Bible, lo take her first les- son. Alas, poor Marie! it requires a delicate touch to distinguish tho slightly raised surface and nico out- lino of the letters, and her fingers were hard and callous with thecon- staut platting of straw. Again and again was tho effort made, but tono purpose uui ono uay, as suo sai U1UIIU, OWIIUlt 11111 lIHJfWlllg Willi ui;i little kuifo the rough edges of tho straw, a happy thought occutred to her. Could not she cut away tho thick, hard skin from her fingers, and then it would grow anew, smooth and soft, like tho rosy fin gers of a child? And so slio whit tled the skin from the poor fingers, heeding not tho jain ; was it not that she might read the word of God? But tho straw work could not cease ; it bought bread, and the wounded fingors were slow to heal. Whon tho reading lesson was tried again, warm drops trickled from the bleeding fingers along tho sacred line. It was all in vain. After tho first bitterness of her dis appointment, Marie strove hard to he cheerful. ' God had opened the C)cs of tier soul,' she said, 'and ought she not to praiso Him ?' And tho new Bible! Ah, surely sho must carry it back ; some hap- pier blind girl might pluck tho fruit from this trco of life, and find healing in its blessed leaves. And, holding the volume near to tho beating of her heart, she knelt by her white cot Jo pray. And touch ed tho open bible with her lips. O joy I To tho soft lips the slight in dentations of the raised surface are clearly perceptible ; they trace tho sharp outlines of tho letters with un erring accuracy. Will,, a low cry of joy, she passes lino after line across her eager lips, she turns the leaf, tho lips lose not their power. It is all clear, nil easy now. The lips could da what tho toil-hardened fingers could not they could read. A twelvemonth after I visited Dijon. The low kitchen wore its old look, but what a beaming, hap py face was Mario's as she sat in her tudc chair, her basket of -straw at her feet, reading her beloved Hi blo. Ulind, it was full of light. 'N'est il pas hcurcux,' she murmur ed in her rich, musical tones, 1 n'est il pos hcurcux dc baisor ninsi les donees paroles pendant quo je les lis ?' Is it not blessed to kiss the sweet words as I rend. Dear eloquent lips, which tho cold clay kisses now, told me this Utile tale, and I listened with start ing tears, thinking how the poor blind girl would rise up in the judg ment to condemn the many, who 'having eyes, see not.' BLETONISM. Tho faculty of perceiving and in dicating subterranean springs and currents by seii.:ition ; so called from one Hlctttn, of France, who was sup posed to possess this faculty. Vide Dr. Webster, in loco. Uletonist, One who lias the fac ulty of perceiving subterranean springs by sensation. Vide Dr. Woicestor. As acknowledged that there are mote things in heaven uutl onrth than our philosophy has hitherto dreamed of, the probable presump tion arises that the idea involved in the abou terms and definitions ii not a mere chimera, hut a fixed fact which may be rendered subservient to the general good. Let certain persons lake a " lork" of Cherry, I'cach, Hazlc, Willow, or the like, of one or tuo year's growth, full of sap, and so hold tho uxtrcint tirs, firmly grasped in the hands, that the fork will bo uptvard ; when lliey come into the vicinity of a spring or stream of living water, the fork will bend toward it, and when the person stands immediately over the water, ,0 fot). j,, uwmvar( i ,,, ' i. ... . r. I. lu the hands ol others, this fork, or a ' divining rod" prepared for the purpose, will turn from instead of to the water, let will indicate its local ity with nearly equal exactness. A good Iiletonist will also discover silver, iron, and other ores, by means of the md, and persons often amuse ihcnsdvcs by hiding a half.dull.tr" jn fl ibc'( circ,?it in ,0 , !nnd (0 .,(,ivincr., fidi it ilh ; absolute certainty , . ,,..' ,. .i-3 in .iiiui ii.. iiiuiu iiiu unit i:m- . . . . . ' . w ill work, and in some of these, not at all limes; it therefore becomes an important question, if these things ore so, in whose hands it will work, ond why not at all times ? Kleclrically, the race is classified, males aro positive, females uegaihe. This is nature ami by Ibis general law of relation of the sexes, much, that is now considered by manr, as inexplicable, may be satisfactorily ex plained. Many males arc negatively electri fied and it is found by expeimont that such have this power or faculty of perceiving and indicating subter ranean springs, ores, itc, by sensa tion, ond that generally any one who is a good mesmeric, biologic or " spirit-rapping" medium, is a good Dletonist. Living (not sup) water, iron, sil ver and tho like being relatively pos itive electrically, to such persons, llio rod, in their hands, by the unerring law cf electric attraction, is drawn toward und when immediately over In tho hands of those who are I positively electrified, tho rod u re- veiled, or turns in an opposito tlircc- ! (ion. which is also in perfect accotd- once with the well-known olectiic law that i'.-e repel each other, jt ms so )Con ascertained, tlal ,,e physiological changes which arc Constanllj going on in our bodies, cmg0 temporarily, if not sometimes permanently, their electrical states, from negative to positive, and the opposite ; and hence the well known fact, that not at all times, even in tho samo person's hands, will the rod op erate ; a circumstance which proba bly has led more to believe the whole thing to bo n humbug, than any oth er, but which, if tho above suggestion has any weight, must ubviously be expected to occur. The rule by which tho depth of the water is as certained, is to measure from the point where tho rod begins to bend toward the water, lo where it points directly to it, perpendicularly. This will give tho depth nearly, and it will be seen that tho sphere of at traction begins at about an angle of 45 . Ai there are persons in every community who can thus operate, it seems hardly necessary to point out tho value of this science to tho Agri culturist and others. Uy it much money and time may be saved, and land othcrwiso worthless, rcntlcrctl immensely valuable. G. Barton, Vt. Iraslurg Gacttc. Patent Leather Boots. While standing in the office of one of our first class-hotels the other day, wo noticed a gentleman who cama in with his baggage, enter his name on the book ami secure n room. As soon as he had written his name the clerk lookcti nt it with astonishment. He called all tho oth pr clerks to look, nntl then he called one of the proprietors, who, on see ing it appeared amazed. Wc thought from the fuss that was being made over the name, that the man must be some celebrated person. The idea struck us that it might ba Prince Albert, "Dr some of England's noblemen, but as his features wcro .truly Amxrirnn, wo concluded il must be some great man, whom we did not know, belonging to our own country. While thus contemplating the man and his position, the head clerk leaned forward, anil called Mr. Johnson, one moment if you please ! The gentleman stepped up to the desk. Will you, continued the clerk, please explain one thing? Wo have nil tried tn decipher it, but cannot make it out. What is il? asked tho gentleman, with a quiet smile playing on his face. Why, sir, at the ond of your namo, on tho book, you have placed three letters, P. L. I)., ami we are anxious to know the meaning of them, having never before met them in that position. " P. L.

The last lime I was here, I wore none other, but I was charged in my bill at leaving, two dollars for blacking boots, and us I bail no time to dispute at leaving, I concluded (Ins tune to make you understand that I woro such boots us needed no blacking.

" I'm an old fellow" says Cowper, in ono of his letters to Htird, "but I had once my dancing days as you havo now ; yet I could never find that I could learn half so much of a woman's real character by dancing with her, as by conversing with her at home, where I could observe her behavior at the tablo, at tlio fireside, and in nil trying cir cumstances of domestic life.

A " lriiiul illove iiient." Speech of TII0S, II. BENTON. On Friday, the 10th inst., tho Nebraska bill being under discussion in Committee of the Whole House, Mr. Bknton said : Mr. Chairman, I have nothing moro to say to this bill on account of its interference with the Missouri Compromise. On that point I have spoken my share, and shall not recur to it again. 1 pass on to a now point one signi ficantly rovcatcd to us somo ten days ago by a Representative from Georgia, tho member from tho first congressional district of that State, Mr. Scwakd. Tho gentleman spoke against the bill in a way en tirely accordant to my own opin ions ; but camo to the conclusion that tie would vote lor it, and gnvo his reasons for doing so; icasons which had not been mentioned by any other speaker, and which struck mo as momentous, and worthy to arrest the attention of tho House, and of tho country. He objects to tho bill because it is unfounded and contradictory in its statements and assumptions inconsistent with it self, with the net of 1820, nntl of tho acts of 1850 because it was manufactured for a particlar purpose, and is of no value in itself to the slave States ; but which commands his support, as a southern man, on account of its ulterior operations, as containing a principle to ho asserted in future, and which was put into tho bill to become tho basis of some grand movement in this country. I will read what ho said, as" the proper way of doing justice to his clear and well expressed opinions to his momentous revelations and to tho best way of availing myself of his important declarations. I find them thus in the official copy of the speech : " I oppose tho details of this bill, because they are not consistent with themselves or with the transactions to which they relate ; and the bill itself shows that it was manufac tured for a particular purpose. Somo of the clauses embraced in it, con flicting as they aro, wcro introduced for tho purpose, in my opinion, of sotting up a principle to be asserted in future, and which the acts of 1850 never contained. Now, sir, let us sec. Wo aro called upon hero now to vote for this bill, which is not drafted in the ordinary shape of leg- jislative acts. But the finmers of this bill have furnished tho reasons, within tlie bill itself, on which wc must act, and which they call on us to subscribe to. What is it? They telllis that tho law of IS20, being inconsistent with the legislation of 1S51), therefore that tho net of 1S20 is inoperative and void. I take is sue with them ; and, for myself, oc cupying the position that I do as n southern man, I never have sub scribed, never will, and never can subscribe to tho doctrines contained in the act of 1850. My objections to tho acts of 1850 aro known at homo. They aro recorded in tho proceedings of the convention which took place in Georgia in 1850. have waived their objections to it for tho purpose of uniting with tho South, aud harmonizing public feel ing on this great question, it is put in hero as tho basis of some grand movement in this country. I know not what that movement is." I concur in tho truth and justice of everything which tho member from Georgia has here said, but dif fer from him in the conclusion to which ho arrives that of voting for tho bill ; nud find in his reasons for that voto, additional reasons for my own vote against it ; hut ho votes as a southern man, and votes seclionally. 1 also em' a southern man, but vote nationally on national questions. Ho sees in it n princi ple set up which is falso and useless in its application to Ncbrasku, but which is to bo asserted in future, and which is put into the bill nstlio basis of somo grand impending movement in this country. Of the nature of this movement, which is to bo so grand, and at the samo time sectional, the member declares him self to bo ignorant ; and thut ignor ance, I would suppose, should bo a reason lor holding back from a bill which commits its supporters to great unknown things. That is the way it works with mo. I am ignorant, that is to say, uninformed of this grand movement which is to be in this country ; but I beliovo in it, and so believing am the more against tho bill. I am against any thing that I do not understand, and which nobody will explain to me, and which, according to my own short dubious lights, is dangerous to tho peace ntid honor of the country. I beliovo in the futility of this bill, its absoluto futility to thoslavehold ing States and that not a single slave will ever be held in Kansas adapted great stoples, (hemp and tobacco,) I do not believe that slaves will ever be held there. Tho popular voto will expel them. Kansas is contig uous to middlo and southern Mis souri, where slavo labor is profita ble, land slaves held in great num bers a singlo owner within two hours' ride of the lino holding one hundred moro than the fivo hundred of Randolph of Roanoke ; and fivo thousand in his county alone : but the holder of slaves will havo but one voto, and will bo boat at the polls by tho many who have none. In relation to Kansas and Nebraska, then, 1 hold tho hill to be a cheat what gamesters call gam mon, congressmen buncombe, and seamen n tub to the whole : that is to say, an ambidextrous operation upon the senses of confiding people, by which they aro made to see what is not, and not to see was is. This is what I. believe; and not be ing obliging enough to join in n scheme of self-deception, or to suf fer a gaino of deception to be play ed upon me, I must now turn my back upon the illusion of this Ne braska bill and look out for its real olrjool tlio pcirticttlnr purpose for which it was manufactured, and the grand movement of which it is to be the basts. In this search I naturally look about into the signs and rumors of the times, and into the co-tcmpor- nncotis events which may connect themselves with the grand move ment in question ; and think I find them in two diplomatic missions, of which the country has heard much, but not all. I speak upon rumor, but neither tell, nor believe, tho half of what 1 hear; but believe enough to cxcito apprehension, and to justi fy inquiry. What is a state secret in tho city of Washington is street talk in tho city of Montezuma. First. The mission of Mr. Gads- dun to Santa Anna. It must have been conceived about the time that this bill was ; and, according to transpiring accounts, must have been a grand movement in itself $50,000,000 for as much Mexican territory on our southern border as would make five or six States of the first class. Tho area of the acquis ition, as I understand it, was to ex tend from sea to sea, on a lino that would give us Santander, Monterey, Saltillo, Parras, Sonora, and all Lower California. This was cer tainly a large movement, both in point of money and of territory, and also large in political consequence ; and clearly furnishing a thcatro for the doctrine of non-intervention, if there should be any design to con vert the newly acquired territory from free soil, that is, into slave soil that it might bo desired to be. Hero, then, 1 beliovo I havo found one branch of tho grand movement ; and although Mr. Gadsden returned from Ins mission with a small slice only of tho desired territory, yet ho has returned to his post, and may havo better luck on a second trial if Santa Anna escapes from the speckled Indians (Los Indios Pin tos) who have him at bay in the Sierra. I say nothing on the mer its of this now acquisition, only that it is an old acquaintance with me, having first heard of it in Novem ber, 1S-1G, and afterwards in March, lS'ly at which latter time it was proposed in the Senate, (by Mr. Davis, of Mississippi,) on the ratifi cation of tho Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty ; and rejected by the Senate. I voted against the Santander aud Monterey lino then, and have not seen cause to change my opinion. Here Mr. Bf.nton read tho articlo proposed by Mr. Davis for the new lino. Secondly. The mission of Mr. Sonic to Madrid also a grand movement in itself, ifroportsbetrue two hundred and fifty millions for Cuba ; and a rumpus kicked up it tlio island is not got. Hero again might be found a case for the non-intervention principle ; but of that I say nothing, because I know nothing, and wish to know some thing. Of tho acquisition itself I say nothing now ; but did say some thing about forty-four years ago, in a Nashville newspaper, published by Thomas kastin, called the Impar tial Review ; in which I discussed Cuba as the geographical nppurton nnco of tho valley of the Mississip pi, and eventually to becomo its po litical appurtenance ; but to be got with honor whenever it was got; and m all that faith I still remain firm. No dishonor ! no stain on tho bright and spotless fame loft us by bur fathers ! Mr. Chairman, I discuss nothing in relation to those rumored acquisr tinns of the Island of Cuba and u broad side of Mexico; I only call attention to them as probable index es to the grand movement of which the member from Georgia gave us tho revelation, aud which no one has denied. According to him, and according to my own belief, tins Nebraska bid is only nn enter ing wedge to future onterprizes a thing manufactured for a particular purpose a stepping stone to a grand movement which is to devel ope itself in this country of ours. 1 wish to know what that movement is. I have a right to know, to ena ble mu to discharge my duties uu- dcrstaiidiugly ; and 1 respectfully crave tho information from thoso who have tho conducting of tho bill. To Clean Paint.

If judiciously manoged, it ii profitable. If badly managed, worso than useless. To obtain the best cows for tho dairy, subject the milk to the lest of comparison, one with the other. Keep those which give the most and the richest milk, for brecden and tho dairy, and sell tho rest to the drover or tho butcher. It is not so much the amount of milk a cow gives, per day, as the cream her milk produces, which constitutes her value as a milker. Having thus as certained tho best cows, tlio next consideration is tho keeping they are to receive. Much, very much depends upon this. It is unreasona ble to expect, from tho very best of cows, cither butter, or cheese, or beef, to any valuable oxtent, if fed merely on dry hay, in tho winter, or kept in a poor and sour pasture, in the summer. Roots, of various kinds, should be raised in abundance, by every dairy-man, who hopes to profit by his vocation, and tho food of cows should bo varied, in the winter, from week to week ; kept clean and warm, and enjoy fresh air, every day in tho week, Sundays not excepted. It has been found, by experiment, that a cow fed on grass, in' n good and sweet pasture, (hill pastures are the best) will yield a greater quantity of milk than if fed upon nnyt other food. Wo have thoroughly tried the experiment, and havo no doubt of the fact. There ii nothing like a clean Green Mountain pasture, free from brakes and filthy and sour weeds, upon tho hill-sides, to fill a milk pail or a churn ; and in the winter, for the same purpose, there is no better root) than sweet meadow and mountain hay, and tha stocks of sweet corn ; and for roots, the Carrot, Rutabaga, Mangehvurfzel, the Turnip and Sugar Beet. Try this course of feeding; try it faithful ly, brother farmers, nnd our word for it; you will have good cows, abundanco of rich milk, good butter and fat cheese, provided you do not sldni tho milk of which tho latter is made. And now a little about milk. Let us talk the matter over. Milk ob tained from cows in tho morning is generally richer than that obtained at evening, and usually less in quan tity. It ia equally true that somo pasture grounds are much better than others for the production of rich milk. Examine the kind of grass, and the nature of the soil in the pasture producing the best milk, and stock other pastures, of a similar toil, with the samo kind of grass. The subject of sweet pastures, or good grazing grounds has not received that nttention which its importance demands. Will some of our readera give us their views about it? Will they think; and tell us what they think about it ? Fhu it Guowinb. It is pleasant, in visiting tho farms nnd fanners in Washington County, to notice a com mendable zeal and manifest improve ment in fruit culture. Thousands of apple, plum and pear trees, have been set out umong the farmers, in this county, tho present season. This is as it should be. Perhaps we cannot do such farmers a better ser vice than giving them the following article on trimming, from the N. E. Farmer, written by C. Goodrich Esq., of Burlington, an experienced fruit grower, it is tlio best article on this subject, that we havo read for many a duv. Will our customers please read it and put tho preaching into practico ? Mb. Farmer. Were a tree gift ed with speech, what complaint should wo hear on visiting most orchards in New England ! of harsh treatment, commencing with thatbane of nil nurseries and young trees, the mudcrious jucknife in the nursery then torn from its place, leaving a large portion of its roofs, and set ai we would a slake to struggle by it self. The poor trco hesitates i year or tjo whether to attempt a new ex istence, or give up the ghost without further struggling many of them, paiticuhtrly root-grafted frees grown in hot beds of manure very sensibly prefer the latter course; and who can blame them ? For a few years past, many placet in New England have been flooded with tall shrubbery, misnamed apple trees, by unprincipled or ignorant speculator! from Western New York. These have been sold by calling on individuals, and getting orders far trees (?) to be sent the next laana. The seller has a speech for every
