Laweexce, Kanzas, June 10, 1857. Theodore Parker. From the Institution for the Blind, with a mind lull of the thoughts arising from a few moments . in the presence of Laura fcBridgman, we took an omnibus, and in less nthan one hour we were on the top of Bunker Hill Monument. What a prospect! ' It can not be described. ' Let us pass on till the Sabbath morning. And at first we dropped into the .Hanover-sl. Methodist Episcopal : Church to see a Boston Sabbath School. Then we spent a moment with Father Tay lor. - Then we went a little before 10 o'clock to the Music Hall to hear Theodore Parker. The hall will seat 2,500 persons. At JO -o'clock, we suppose there were from 700 to 1,000 persona present.- They came in, as persons ordinarily, with us, would go into a concert-room. ? Not a few had secnlar newspapers which they sat and read till the service commen ced. There were bows of recognition across the Hall, and everybody seemed quite at ase. ' The sexton set a vase of beautiful, fresh flowers upon the speaker's desk. The organist came m and threw open the doors of an instrument, of tremendous power. Presently a grave, serious looking man of medium siie, slightly bald, and sprinkled with grey hairs, came in, and ascended the platform, laid his manuscript on the desk, and took the Hymn Book or Psalm Book or book of some sort. It was Theodore Par ker. He read -a Psalm of Thanksmvincr. It was sung by a choir with the organ, in an appropriate tune. The deep bass notes shook the great Hall like mijrhty thunder. . After the Psalm was ended, Mr. Parker offered a deeply impressive and eloquent prayer, in which there was not the slightest reference to a Mediator: He called God Mour father and our mother," and the strain of thanksgiving r for mercies temporal was unsurpassed by anything we have ever heard. His discourse was an Independent Discourse. " He announced no text. His, theme was "America and her opportunities." It whs marked with great originality; and many passages of that discourse would, compare favorably with the finest things in the an nals of oratory. There was nothing flippant no attempt at display; but his whole man ner was marked by the greatest solemnity, gravity and earnestness. His feelings were frequently excited tears came to his eyes, and hb voice trembled with unaffected emo tion. . But who ever heard such ideas! He thanked God that in .Boston all religions and creeds were tolerated He thanked God 'that a club of "Atheists "could assemble and enjoy the rights of conscience, and none dare molest them." . . He thanked God that there was a Mormon temple in. Boston. - But mercy" "on us, how he showed up the "peculiar institution!" "This great coun try of ours," eaid he, "presents a magnifi cent and beautiful landscape, when seen in the distance. We have, a vast foreground of ocean. Almost every indentation on our extended coast is marked by a growingcom mercial city, with its halls of learning, tem ples of justice and churches of religious worship, with their lofty spires the finger of man's devotion pointing to heaven. In the. background there are villages and ham lets embosomed in trees, "and fruitful fields and broad streams that gush out from our mountains and traverse the bold land, bear iag the agricultural products of the thriving country, to the sounding seas; there are boundless forests; wide-spreading prairies, roaring cataracts a beautiful landscape scene in the distance; but plant your foot "on the soil," and every eighth person is a slave!" This was a foul blot a stain a disgrace.

Theodore Parker is a polished Pan- j theist. He sees God in ' everything; in the - flowers blushing at their own images, re flected from, the flowing streams; in the trees , and in the stars, "the geometry of the di rin znind.' Cra Advccei. , The LTorrors of Mormonism. -The correspondent of the New York Tri bune, writing from Salt Lake on . the 2d ,of February, gives the following chapter of horrors, exhibiting the social vices of Mor monism: -" ' A man named Nash came .to this Territo ry last Fall, bringing with him his daughter, a lovely and beautiful girl of seventeen sum mers. He settled at Provo, a town sixty miles south of this city, and in' consequence of her great beauty, his daughter was much desired by'many of the vile polygamists. She succeeded, however," in escaping them all until the death of her father, her only protector, .which happened' early in winter. The funeral rites were performed by Bishop Carter, who, after finishing his prayer pver the newly-made grave, told her that she must now become his wife. The gentle girl, left friendless, and seeing no place , where she could take refuge and escape a condition she so much dreaded, wa3 obliged to yield, and is now doomed to a life of sorrow and dis honor. She is Carter s seventh -victim. What an amount of blood and tears of ago ny will call for judgment against a powerful government, which has knowingly permitted such villainy and outrage to continue four years unchecked within its jurisdiction. One of the principal features of Mormon ism is the constant endeavor of the rulers to make the women mere creatures of passion and the slaves of their will. The barriers of modesty and virtue are overthrown by them in all their discourses, and all refine ment and elegance are studiously obliterated. They fiory, a3 Heber C Kimball says: Vin calling things bv their right names." It was only a few Sundays ago that Kimball, in the presence of between two and three thousand people, delivered a discourse on the inter course of the sexes, in which he made use of language too obscene and vulvar for the most detrraded to utter, literally calling tilings by their right names. Frequently, to further their villainous designs, they ac cuse women by name, in the "ward .meet ings," of being prostitutes,' thu3 making them lose all self-respect and inducing them more easily, as they see there is no incentive to chastity, to yield to their importunities. A certain bishop in this city took a fancy to his neighbor's wife, a beautiful woman. Finding that she was too pure to consent to his suggestions, he determined to effect his purposes by other means. He told her hus band tliat his wife was unfaithful, and that he knew she had Veen visited by Other men while he (the husband) was absent; he ad ded, he would not Live his ward defiled by the presence of such a woman, and unless he turned his wife away, his house would be pulled down over his head. The husband, either influenced by the slanderous tale, or intimidated by the more powerful threat, dis carded his wife, when the bishop immediate ly proposed to -her to come into his family, which she indignantly- refused, and took refuge in the house of an acquaintance. The bishop, however, was notto be foiled so ea sily. . He-compelled all the families who sheltered her to turn her away, until the poor woman in her anguish appealed to Brigham's sympathies,. and begged him to protect her from her persecutor. But Brigham advised her to be 'sealed' to the bishop, and in utter despair she at length complied. The bishop accomplished his purpose, but the connec tion was of short duration, and Brigham was soon called upon to 'unseal' the two. A French Colony for Virginia. Mr. J.' C. Underwood, Secretary of the American Aid and Homestead Company, of which Eli Thayer is the head, announces through the N. Y. Evening Pos', that the Rev. Mr. Larviaux, a Protestant clergyman of France," has just concluded the purchase of a tract ot three thousand acres of land in Monongalia County, Ya., within eight miles of Morgantown, the seat of the county, and of the Monongahela River, and within twen ty miles of the Pennsylvania line, at the mod erate price of seventy-five cents per acre, for the use of his congregation, numbering about five hundred persons. They are descend ants of the Waldenses, and their present loca tion is in the High Alps in the southeast of t ranee. Vishing to emigrate, and pre ferring a milder climate than that of our Northwestern States and Territories, their pastor, after conferring with Mr. Under wood as to the soil, climate and social con dition of the different localities of Virginia most likely to - suit them, and in regard to the protection they miht expect from the Emigrant Aid and Homestead Company, made the selection above indicated. Mr. Larivaux believes that the report which he will bear to the French Protestants will induce many thousands to leave a coun try where their rights are but poorly pro tected, and where land, of no more value than that he Las just bought, owing to the crowded state of population, is worth from three to five hundred dollars per acre. - This is a good beginning in the work of colonizing Virginia. Even the fire-eaters will not have the heart to repulse these French emigrants, who are of the same race and fiiith of many of the most distinguished families of the South. C7 Icago Prets. Progress. The following is an extract, from an ar ticle in the Mark Lane Exprtss, on the rap id growth of Canada." . "In the Eastern, hemisphere States are the growth of centuries; in the Western hemisphere they spring into existence with a rapidity which keeps pace with the growth of individual man. A thousand years after the Saxon conquest, we find England just beginning to emerge from bar barism and to become powerful. It was not till the reign of William and Mary in Britain, that Prussia was elevated to the dignity of a kingdom, and numbered among the great Powers of the earth. In Amer ica, however, the case is otherwise. Here populous States suddenly appear m regions which a little while before were overshad owed by the forest and ruled by the In dian. On the shores of the Pacific, Califor nia, which is now a powerful republic, was, less than 20 years"ago, a lonely wilderness; and, at the opening of the nineteenth cen tury, hardly one of those opulent and pros perous commonwealths existed that adorn in our- days the banks, of the Mississippi and her tributaries. . .

Bread Out "West. - If our Western friends can in any way teach their wives, daughters, or cooks to keep the pearlash out of their bread all the yel low people especially, the yellow children, who are supposed to.be turned yellow by fe ver and ague, billious fevers,- fcc. fec. will soon be re-turned white. It is a mistake to suppose that the yellow countenances of the West come from the bile, when it is only the enormous quantities of pearlash eaten the bread that is reflected through the skin. Bread is the staff of life it is said and so it is, but it is the staff of death, too, in this country. Bad bread kills as many people here as bad rum. So many people eat poi sonous pearlash for bread, that thev die of it by inches. Dyspepsia that" great mon ster disease of our country, that deranges the liver brings on costiveness, and thus finally, what kills the human- victim is, half the time, "Pearlash. Here in the East out of New England we have nearly driven off the pearlash salera tus cooks, but not altogether. Pearlash lives here yet in bread but in cities and towns we have whipped out the murderers. In the distant Western towns, however, beyond the good hotels of the Lakes, and on the Rivers, Pearlash, albeit, under the name of salera tus, is King. It is pearlash for breakfast, pearlash for dinner, and pearlash for sup per. It is not any wonder, then, that white people East, turn yellow West, and sicken not of fever and ague, billious and con gestive fevers, but of Pearlash three times per day. Philadelphia Paper. PotatoesThey Should be kept in the Dark. " At the last meeting of the American In stitute Fanners' Club, in New York city, t"here was an interesting discussion on po tatoes: Solon Robinson There are ten times as many potatoes spoiled in this city by light, as are spoiled by frost. If possible, a pota to nevr should see light. It should be ta ken direct from the dark cell where it grows to a dark cell for preservation, and, if pos sible, always keep it in the dark and an even temperature until it is taken out to- put in the pot. Dr. Smith I have often observed in Lan cashire, England, with what assiduous care the cottagers many of whom are very de pendent upon their little crop of potatoes cover their potatoes as soon as possible af ter they are dug. It is not to keep them from freezing, but to keep them from the light, as these people well know that noth ing is more injurious, particularly if the sun is shining hot upon them when taken from the ground. Prof. Nash The common practice of farmers leaving potatoes on the'ground in a hot October sun, is one of the most injuri ous things which could be done to the crop. Some of them are half cooked, and all are injured by light and heat. Will SO MAST POTATOES ABE USED. j Mr. Bergin said he had often been aston-l ished at the quantity of potatoes consumed in New York. We raise now fifty times as many as formerly, and get three or four times as much per bushel. There must cer tainly be something very valuable in pota toes as food, or there would not be so many eaten. Solon Robinson No, Sir, 'that is not the reason potatoes are so largely consumed in this city." I will tell you why the people eat so many potatoes, at a time, too, when they-are the dearest of all kinds of food.- 'Ji is because nine-tenths of those we employ to cook our food don't know how to cook anything else but potatoes; and that partic ular being that the proverb says sends us cooks, must be prety well aware that they don't know how to cook and consequently we commit a-deal of sin in finding fault with the potatoes, when the principal -fault is chargeable to the stupid cooks, and the more stupid dolts who have had the care and the consequent spoiling of these valuable fruits of the earth. I certainly should look upon it as a great boon, if we could once more see the day that we could sit down to a meal of mealy potatoes. . ' HOW TO COOK POTATOES. Dr. Smith Do people ever think of the immense waste of potatoes as they are treat ed in this city? Let me tell you how po tatoes are cooked in Lancashire, England. They are peeled first and boiled gently till nearly soft, and then the water is poured off and all the steam allowed to evaporate, when they are poured into a dish and a few slices of bacon laid on the top and brought hot to the table, where they are eaten with a relish, and for good reason they are truly good. Such people do not eat much bread. The potatoes are so dry and mealy that they are an excellent substitute for bread, and very unlike the miserable waxy thing that we eat here. - . . : m John Hames, a man 134 years old is now living in Marry Co., Georgia.

Produce of Jjand in Different Parts of the woria. -.The. amount greatly varies in different kingdoms. 6tates and localities, according to the difference of cultivation, soil, manur ingjelimate and exposure. . In England," Scotland, Inlanders, and parts of Germany, the productiveness of the land has been greatly improved, in mod era times, by new and skillful systems of fanning, and a great increase of atten tion, in enlarging the quantity of the ma nure of the farm as well as buying all the mineral manures they can obtain and of applying them, m the most advantageous manner. Farmers who made the first settlements and clearings in '.this country, found the land generally very productive, and consequent ly felt no necessity for making and apply ing manure, nor for seeding their unculti vated fields with grass, in order to increase their fertility. In process of time, the vegetable mat ter, and the mineral substances most need ed by the growing plants, became so ex hausted that much of the land ceased to yield remunerative crops, . and the decayed, impoverished patrimony had "to be resusci tated and improved, or otherwise abandon ed by the; proprietors. Wheat " flourished for many- years, on these new lands, but at length gradually declined, and in many parts rye was introduced in its stead, which succeeded for a time, but on the neglected soils, thai also was found to languish and in some sections, oats and buckwheat fol lowed till the land was finally abandoned, and thrown out for old fields. In the first settlement and cultivation of different parts of this country, the prepara tion of the soil, and the time of seeding with' wheat, were not sufficiently, attended to, in order to insure a large return. -" With these precautions, the crops of wheat on these virgin soils might have averaged 20 or 25 bush, per acre, but instead of that product, they have not probably yielded an average crop of more than 12 or 15 bush els per acre, including alrthe localities, in this country, where wheat ha3 been grown on new land for a series of years. In many regions famous for the growth of wheat, the average product is very much overrated. On a visit to Western New York, we expressed our surprise to a farmer who had resided there for twenty-five years, at the poor appearance of much of the wheat in that section, where I had understood' that 40 bushels an acre; was only an ordinary crop. He declared that he did not believe the -average had exceeded 15 bushels, since his residence in that part of the State, though some 20 years ago, it was called by the whezt dealers, the "great granary of North America." Ohio has, of late years, produced more wheat than any other State in the Un ion but she has had a greater breadth of land under culture of that grain with a yield of of 14 to '20 millions pf bushels; she has had 2 millions of acres sown, which gives an average of only 7 to 10 bushels per acre. The average product, per acre, of the whole State of New York, as shown by the census of 1847, is of wheat, 14 bushels of f ats, 26. bushels of barley, 1 1 bushels of rye, 9 bushels of Indian corn, 25bushels Professor Emmons, in his .Natural Histo ry of the State, gives a series of averages a little less than these. The, premium crops of New York, for 2846, range thus wheat 56 bushels per acre, (this is the highest,) Indian-corn 142 bushels, and oats 106 bushels. New Brunswick, (British Territory, 1848, wheat 19 bushels per acre; oats "SO bushels; barley 30 bushels; rye 20 bushels corn 41 bushels. England, according to J. F. W. Johnston, in 1849, wheat 21 bushels per acre; oats 35 bushels; barley 32 bushels. Highest, wheat 88 bushels, barley 80, oats 100, potatoes 80O, and turnips 1200. Scotland, on the same authority wheat 30 bushels per acre, oats 46, barley 40. lne iollowmg is near an average of the crops of Flinders, as obtained by Thomas Radcliff, about 1835 wheat 23 bushels per acre, rye 30, oats 42, potatoes over 300. In the Patent Oflice Report for 1845, a gentleman of 13 randford, New Haven Coun ty, Connecticut, savs, "Our farmers raise but little more corn than they need for their own use, believing it not to be profitable.- " With good management, corn yields, in this vicinity, fiom 100 to 125 bushels to the acre, worth 81a bushel .MI" According to the replies made by very many correspondents, to tfT commissioner oi patents, -u Dusneis per acre, is a very common average for the corn crop, even in the newjy cultivated regions of the great west. . Statistical Pacts in Agriculture. : The Indian Corn crop of the year 1855, was six hundred millions of bushels, which, at sixty cents, gives us the sum of three hundred and sixty millions of dollars, ex ceeding by more than one hundred millions the value. of the '-wheat," and ; by about two hundred millions the cotton crop. - The -IndiatrOrrrt;ropi3 of ;the Tngheet worth id a domestic point of view while in a foreign aspect the cotton, although less m actual value", is the most beneficial. We learn from a statement made by Mr. Mechi, . thatone horse consumes as much food as would sustaia eight men. . i. In our country -we find that the value of the oats, hay, fodder, and pasturage for -the r year 1855, wa3 abou three hundred and seventy-one millions of dollars. - . " "What a vast amount devoted to the -support of the brute creation, and what an im mense number of domestic animals we have dependent upon us! - They are turning a great deal of attention in England to the use of steam in farming, and it is to be hoped that the time is at hand when success may be attained, and our heavy farm work be performed bv ma chinery to relieve us from a large part of una uevounng-army ot horses and oxen. The day will come, we doubt not, though it may be deferred, when the forces of na ture now unemployed, will exert their high est energies for man's welfare. That man must earn his bread by. the sweat of his brow, we know; yet we believe that Providence has so constituted him, that the elements shall be his servants, and that the intellect will be so strengthened as to enable him more completely to bring them under subjection.

The first paper milj in America was loca ted at Wissahickon, Pa.; the mill was erec ted by Clans and Yilliam Rittinghousen, who were of Dutch ancestry, and went to Pennsylvania from New Amsterdam. Wil liam Bradford was also part owner, but he rented his share to the Rittinghousens, now spelled Rittenhouse. The original lease, da ted September 1, 1697, is still in existence, and the rent reserved by Bradford was sev en reams of printing paper, two reams of good writing paper, and two reams of blue paper. This mill, then so celebrated, was swept away by a flood between 1699 and 1701, and so important was its reconstruc tion that William Penn wrote a certificate, recommending the citizens to give the suffer ers relief. - ' To Prevent Cows from Holding cp their Mile.
