the burial of the beautiful.
Robe the beautiful for the tomb—
We may no longer stay her;
She has pass’d \v i? in budding bloom,
to vestal white array her.
* One single auburn trees we crave
Before her fat" ye cover;
VvTir should the cdbl and grasping grave
Take all from those who love her?
Hear the beautiful to the tomb
While yet the sun is shining.
f'.re the shadows end evening gloom
n.-note the day’s declining.
Bear her softly and slowly on—
Disturb' no placid fea'ure :
De»p the Sleep she’s fallen upon,
The last of a mortal creature.
Lay the beautiful in the tomb ;
Beneath ’be weeping willow
Letsthe maiden have -de-, i’.g ’oom
And softly spread her pillow.
Angels hasten from realms of bliss,
Their watch above her keeping;
Dear to the heart of the Father is
The place where a child is sleeping.
Leave ihc beautiful in th- tomb;
There may be others fsirm ;
Haughtier heads may wav e a plume
• With glory to'the’wearei j
But so beautiful ami so good
—Think they who dearly held her—
Earth in its loveliest sisterhood
May never have excelled her.
How JrncE H Help eh to TJ » i.oa r>
the Steamboat.—A friend «! ours, who
was an eye-witness to the fact, reined to
us an amusing circumstance which oc
curred while Judge H. presided on the
bench in this district. On a peculiar oc
casion o&erS his appointment, business
called him to Liberty, and while there,
meeting with many of Ins associates at the
bar, got into a convivial mood, which
lasted several days, and on going out he
loooked rather worse for wear. In cross
ing the river at Owen’s landing, there
was a boal discharging freight, and in a
great iraste for fear.mother boat would pass
that theu just have in sight. The olerk
edited out—“ I say, old man, can’t you
lend the men a hand in taking oil that lot
of furniture? I will pay you well for doing
so. and ‘.double filly in the bargain.”
“Oh, yes,”said the Judge, “always ready
to help in time of need.” “Then turn in
and be quick,” said the clerk. The first
thing was a marble top bureau. Ingoing
off the plank the Judge slipped, and the
clerk roared out, ‘{There now, throw that
ipto the river, will you?” “ Certainly,”
said the Judge, and giving a kick with
me order, overooara u went. •• nenow :
what’s that for.” said the clerk. “I al
ways obey orders when I work for a
man,” said the Judge. “Leave,” said
the mate. “Agreed,” said the Judge,
“who is that man ?” said the clerk. A
bystander remarked, “That is Judge H.
of the Fifth Judicial District of .Missouri.’
“,£)h h—II, let go that line.”—[Westport

Cisterns.—It is ascertained that about
three feet of water annually falls upon
the face ofthe earth. On every ton feet
of square roof, every inch that fulls makes
two barrels of water, and three feet of
rain will yield 72 barrels a year. A 30 f
by 40-foot barn supplies from its roof every ;
year 861 barrels of water.
Every fartri house and barn qeqds a
capacious cistern, with a good force pomp
and hose, which will answer the purpose
of a fire-engine in case of fire. In “farm
implements” a simple rule is given for
finding the contents of cisterns. It is as
follows: Find the depth and diameter in
inches ; square the diameter and multiply
the square by the decimal 0034, which
will find the quantity in gallons for one j
inch in depth. Multiply this by the depth, i
and divide bv 31 J. and the result will be I
the number of bartaels the cistern will hold.
For "ae foot m depth, the number of bar
rels answering to the different diameters
are—
For 5 foet diameter. 4.66 barrels.
For 6 “ . 0 71 «
For 7 “ . 9 13 «
For 8 “ 11.93 “
For 9 “ 15.10 “
For 10 “ •••18.05 ••
By the above rule Lie contents of barn- j
yard cisterns and in mure tanks may be
easily calculated for any size whatever.—
