LESSON OF LIFE. ’Tis very strange, ’tis very strange, The fancies of our early years, Despite of chnucc. despite of ebango Can thus melt manhood into tears? ’Tis very strange, the simplest things, No mailer what they wete, we loved, Are those the memory eagerest. brings, And those the last to be removed, A word, a tone, a look, a song, A bird, a bee, a leaf, a flower: These to the self-same class belong, Aud all of them* they have this power; And all about, tho heart they bring Their memories—a potont spell! As parting friends still kiss anil cling, And must, yet cannot say, farewell. Now’ti3 not, that there is not found As much to see, and foel, and love; The earth is just as fair around, The sky is just as blue above ; Birds sing, bees hum, brooks prattle near, Musiu of the world a part, And warm, warm words arc in the ear, And heart beats fondly unto heart. Aud yet, the heart lies cold and dead— Its finer feellings will uot glow ; The blossoms all aro withored, We once did lore and cherish so; And wo look round, and wc look back At things of Life's young morning-hour, And wonder thoso of manhood’s track, Have not as soft aud sweet a power. And then we ask, since this wo see, If thus, in running out life’s span, We most be what wo would not. be, That cold, cure-fretted creature, man? If earth must change as on we go, If life, aud loveliness, and truth Must pass from every thing below, With the delightful days of youth? Alas, alas., as wc move on, If this the heart from bliss must sever. Bettor were manhood not beguu—• Better wo children be for ever! _ Bread and Butter.—Hall, in liis Journal of Health, gives the following bit of wisdom : Bread and butter are the only articles of foed of which wc never tire from early childhood to extreme old age. A pound of finoflour or Indian meal contains three timesas much moat as ono pound of butcher’s roast beef; and if the whole product of the grain, bran and all, were made into bread, fifteen per cent, more of nutriment wouiu do aauea. umortumue ly the bran, tho coarsest part of which gives soundness to tho teeth and strength to the brain, is generally excluded. Five hundred pounds of flour give to the bony thirty pounds of the body aliment, while the same quantity of bran gives more than one hundred and twenty-five pounds. This bone is lime, the phosphate oflimo, tho indispensable aliment of health to the whole human body, from the want of which multitudes of persons go into gen eral decline. But swallowing phosphate in tho shape of powders or in syrups to cure these declines has little or no effect. The articles eontaiued in these phosphates must pass through nature’s laboratory ; be subject to her manipulations in alembics specially prepared by Almighty power aud skill. In plainer phrase, the shortest, saf est and infallible method of giving strength to the body, bone and brain, thereby ar resting disease and building up the con stitution, is to eat and digest more bread made out of the whole gtnin, whether wheat, corn, rye or oats Wide Dry Goods Again Advance '? —On this subject the Now York Sun takes a nogative position, and reasons as follows: The price of raw cotton was at one stage of the rebellion over one dollar per pouiid. Now the average price in New York is less than forty cents a pound, tho reduction being caused, not by any increase in sup ply, for little cotton has been grown since the high figures were current; but it is caused by the certainty of supply in the future. The decline in the value of im ported goods is attributable partly to the same cause but dlrect.lv to the decline in gold. Now there is no probability that gold will advance to any material extent, nor is it likely that any new cause will intervene to occasion distrust in relation to the supply of cotton; consequently there is no ground upon which to base the opin ion that prices in the dry goods market # will again advance. The present decline has been very steady and gradual. It has occurred in spite of the most strenuous op position of the speculative interests, and it may be set down as the natural and le gitimate effect of the transition of a coun try from a condition of unrest and excite ment to a condition of comparative confi dence, stability and certainty How Coal was Discovered is Pennsylva nia.—A writer in the New Vork Observer as serts that Colonel Geo. Shoemaker, a gentle man of Teutonic origin, was the discoverer of Pennsylvania coal, lie lived on the Schuyl kill, and owned, extensive tracts. The writer goes on to say: It chanced one day that in constructing a lime-kiln he used some of the black atones that were lying about the place. “Mine got! mine Got! der sthonos pe all on fire!” ex claimed the astonished Dutchman, when the rich glow of the ignited anthracite met his gaze. Tiio neighbors, who. of course were few and far between, were, after much ado, as sembled to witness the marvel. This happen ed in 1812. Shortly after, mine host loaded a Pennsylvania team with the black stones, ivikI journeyed slowly to Philadelphia, a dis tance of ninety-three miles. There unforseen difficulties were presented. The grates and stoves then in use were not constructed to fa cilitate the combustion of anthracite, and burn it would not! After many ineffectual efforts to ignite the product, it was thrown » i lo as worthless, and our discomfited Ger man, who had beguiled his toilsome way to the metropolis with dreams of ingots, returned to digest his disappointment in his mountain t Jiiiude. ——?A dead set—a party of ghosts. Music. BY LKIUlt BUST. “Blest pair of syrens, pledge of Hcavou’s joy, Hpbero-born harmonious sisters, Voice and Verse, Wed your divine sounds.” .Villon. Music is under no necessity of speaking any language but its own. A benutifulinstrumea tal composition in its <fwn poetry,exciting the feelings and imagination wit lutnt need of the intervention of words, nnd litterings, in foot, a more direct voice of the mystery nnd beauty of passion than the poetry itself. There is something so angelical in its being thus in dependent of speech; that it seems a kind of stray language from some unknown and divine sphere, where the inhabitants are above the necessity of words ; and indeed it is a constant, part of tho charm of music to seem as if it signified still more than we have hurmin words to express; while, on the other band, it is so linked with all our faculties, and has certain properties of accord and sequence in its composition so appealing to our very rea son and logic, that it is no refinement to say one feels sometimes as if it wore pursuing some wonderful and profound argument —laying down premises, interchanging qitcs tions and answers, and drawing forth deduc tions equally conclusive and bewitching,'so that our very understanding is convinced, though wc know nothingofthe mysterous topic. There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in all philosopoy; and music assuredly contains its due portions of them. -—-1 pi i—i What is (Ji.rcEKi.NF. 1—We know but little of the chemical composition of this thing “gly cerine ; but there is respectable authority for saying it is the swoct principle of oil, and is extensively used for purposes of tho toilet, though it has now received an application of rather an unexpected nature. In 1817, a pupil of M. l’clouve’s, discovered that gly cerine, when treated with nitric acid, was converted into a highly explosive substance which he called nitroglycerine. It is oily, heavier than water, soluble in alcohol and ether, and acts so powerfully on the nervous system that a single drop placed on tho point of the tongue will cause a violeut headache, which will last for several hours. This liquid seems to have been a! most forgot ten by chemists and it is only now that M. Nublo, a Swedish engineer, has suceeded in applying it to a very important branch of his art—namely, blasting. From a paper addressed by h im to tho Acad emy of Siences, we learn that the chief advan tage which this substance composed of ono part of glycerine and three parts of nitric acid, possesses, is, that it requires n much smaller holo or chamber than gunpowder does, the strength of the latter being scavcly ono tenth of tl e former. Hence the minor’s work, which, according, to the hardness of the rock, repre sents some live to twenty times the power of tue gunpowuer useu, is so snort tnat tne cost of blasting is often reduced by fifty per cent. The process is very easy. If the chamber of the mine presents fissures, it must be lined with clay to mako it watertight; done, the nitro-glyeeriuo is poured in, the water after it, which, being the lighter liquid, remained at. the top, A slow match with a well charged permission cap at one end, is then introduced into the nitro-glycerino. The mine may then bo sprung by lighting the match, there being no need of tampering. On the 7th of last month, three experiments were made with this new compound in the open part of the tin mines of Altenburg in Saxony. In one of these a chamber, thirty-four miliemetres in diameter, was made perpen dicularly in a dolomitic rock sixty feet iu length, and at a distance of fourteen feet from its extremity, which was vertical. At a depth of eight feet a vault filled with clay was found, in consequense of which the bottom of the hole was framed, havinga depth of seven feet; Otto litroand a half of uitro-glycerino was then poured in ; it occupied five feet; a match and a stopper were then applied as stated, and the mine sprung. The effect was so enormous as to make a fissure fifty feet, in length, and an other seventy. But even that terific demon stration of force seems to have been surpassed by the explosion, or series of explosion—for thoro were three of thorn—on board the ill fated European, Wo commend those facts to all whom It may cpuoeru hero at home, iu the hope that if there is any such lurking demon in our city ware house, means may bo at once resorted to, eitlicr'to make hint secure, or hnvo him re moved altogether from metropolitan limits.— [NeW York Express -*■ —-— Fkm.ino Trees in’ Euu:.—The idea of burnning down a tree six or eight feet iu diameter, and solid and groon, would have scented t o bo as simply absurd and ridiculous. But the tiling is done in Oregon every day at a vast saving of time and labor. The operation is performed iu this wise: A hole is bored into the tree horizontally, the nearer the center the better. Then directly under this hole .an other is bored at an angle of elevation such that the holes moot together near tlie center ' of the tree. A coal of tire with a little kindling j is introduced into the orifice thus formed, and ! the lower hole causes a draught, and the upper | one performs the functions of a'chimney. The heart of the tree is dry, and contains a con i siderabie amount of pitch, and when tnantpu ! lated as 1 have decri bed, burns briskly U is geueraly ncecossary to lee l this five with some fresh fuel from time to time But one man can keep a laTge number ol' trees thus j burning, ami will get twenty or a hundred trees down thus much quicker and easier than j he could otherwise do- In a similar manner, when the tree is cut down, it is cut into peices by being burned in t Wo. A whole is bored into the log from the top, and another from tho side,t ill they meet as beforedeseribed.wheu the perpindieular hole acts as a Hue, and the I horizontal one furnishes tho draught. It often happens that in the burning a largo tree into lengths, for saw-logs, there is not more timber wasted than would result from chop, ping off the log with an ax. flow to Make Money,—The Picayune thus instructs its readers, and people generally: '■let tho buisuess of every body else alone, and attend to your own.

Han Rice has re cently been on a circus tour through the lately rebellions States and has had opportu nities such as are offered to few, for observing the condition of the Southern people as to loyally. Hi* testimony will be found ip show thVlrue feeling that exists in the South when the' thin <*rust of pretended loyally is molted away, and true character is revealed us under the exhilarating influence of a managerie, when man stands in the presence of the un tamed forces of nature, separated therefrom only oy the thin partition of an iron cage. Mr. Rice, being duly sworn, testified thus: Q. You have an unruly animal, known as a pet mule, with your circus, hare you not ? A. 1 have. (4. What are the idiesyneraoies of that benbt ? A. He is much given to kicking. Q. it. is almost impossible to ride him is it not ? A. It is. I generally offer $25 to any man who will ride him round the ring. Q. On your Into visit to the South, did you receive any offers to ride that mule '! A. I did. 0. State wliat occurred on these occasions. A. In Richmond, a discharged Confeder ate soldier attempted to ride him, hut was immediately thrown flat on his back. Q. What did the Confederate soldier say to tins? A. lie said the mule was a d—d 'Yankee cuss. Q. I>id any others make the attempt ? A. Another of Lee s veterans tried to ride him, and succeeded. Q. What did he say ? A. He said, after he had dismounted, that if he’d had a regiment 0’ them ere cavalry he’d have whipped Kilpatrick all to smash; and that in the war against the Yankees he in tended to ride a brigade of’em. Cross examined by Mr. Stevens: Q. Is that a he mule, or a she mule? A. It’s a he mule. Q. You have monkeys in your show, have you not? A. 1 have. Q. Have you ever heard any disloyal re marks in relation to those monkeys ? A. I can’t say that I have. Q. Have you ever heard anything said in their presence? A. A couple of yoi ng ladies were one day standing in front, of the cage, and I heard oiie of them say it looked like a Freedmen’s liu rcau. Q IIow was this remark received ? A. It created much laughter. Q. Were there any personal allusions made on that occasion? A. Some one in the crowd said, pointing to the orang outang. “That’s Sumnor.” Q. Hid that please the bystanders? A. Very much. Q. Did you over hear any observations about the bears? A. I heard it said once about a one-eyed bear, that he looked like Ben. Butler, and about a grizzly bear that it ought to be called Ben. IVade. Q. Were the points of resemblance stated ? A. They wore not. The observation was made on thcfcmf ensemble, with special refer ence, perhaps, to the ocular deformity in the case of the one-eyed animal. Q Have youside shows witlwyour circus? A. I have. Q. State ifyou have ever hoard disloyal re marks in relation to them ? A. 1 believe 1 heard something of the kind oucc about Daniel in the lion’s den. Q. State what it was? A. A young lady asked me which was .Dan iel and which was the lion. (j. What was your reply ? A, I told her it was easy to distinguish Daniel from the lion, as the former wore a swallow-tail coat, and had a cotton umbrella under his am. Q. What did she say ? A. After looking into the cage she said, very spitefully, that Daniel looked like a mean Yankee, and she wished the lion would chaw him up. MACK. -♦<*>♦--— A new invention for the mailing of letters, whioh adds greatly to the facilities for their transmission, has been made, and consist's of a box, instead of a leathern pouch as a receptacle for letters, during iheir transit from one part of the country to another. The box is made of wood, strongly boundwith iron, and secured by the usual post-office padlock. Within, ou the side of the box, are iron-tooth guides, with a follower designed to press the letters into a compact form. The letters are placed in a box upon their edges, with iron labels separating the parcels- for different oliiccs, tlie follower pushod up, the lid closed and locked, the mail is ready to depart, with this arrangement, no wrappers' are used for the parcels designed for different offices. The same advantage is obtained in the saving of time iu the distribution of a mail upon its ar rival That used to require au hour for its distribution, is now in the post-office boxes within fifteen minutes after its arrival.
