A Hcabtifi'i Extract.—The follow
ing paragraph is from the Wisconsin Par
mer.
To the majority of men we are satisfied
that the sod is nothing but dirt; but to the
chemist who knows its origin, its nature
and its capabilities, it is a wonderiul mix
ture of those beautiful elements, which in
their ever varying forms become the ambi
ent tnr, the liquid oceau.lhe precious opal,
the.ametyst, and jasper and the still more
precious diamond ; or the delicate blue bell
and the violet, the amaranth, the lily and
the rose-bud, the spear of the blue grass
and the cedar of Lebaonon ; or again the
ruby-lip, the love-lit eye, the noble, palpi
tating heart, and yet more wonderful bruin !
These are jewels of which the soil is com
posed. and out of which the husbandman
so unhecdingly strives to force the food
hunger craves. Henceforth, as ho turns
the furrow of the field, let the sleep of his
thoughts be broken by the reflection, this
earth thus slurred up by my ploughshare,
is doubtless composed in pnrt of the ashes
of ancestral heroes whose deeds, are the
history of the past, and whose mortal re
mains are the plastic material out of which
we are building the bodies of men to-day.
-—--—
Psalms or David.—The following elo
quent extract is from a late lecture by
Henry Giles, on the Psalms of David:
Great has been their power in the world.
They resounded amidst the court of the ta
bernacle ; they floated through the lofty
and solemn space of the temple. They
were sung with glory in the Halls of Zion ;
they were sung with sorrow by the streams
of Babylon. And when Israel had
passed away, the harp of David was still
awakened in the Church of Christ. In
all the ears and ages of that Church, from
the hymn which it first whispered, in an
upper chnmbe", until its anthems filled the
earth, the inspiration of the royal prophet
has enraptured its devotions and ennobled
its rituals. Chorused by the winds of
heaven, they have swelled throughout
find's nun on the skv mid stars : thev have
rolled over the broad desert of Asia, in
the matins and vespers of ten thousand
hermits. They have rung through the
deep valleys of the Alps, in the sobbing
voices of the forlorn Waldenses ; through
the deeps and caves of the Scottish High
lands, in the rude chanting of the Scottish
Covananlers; through the woods and wilds
of primitive America, in the heroic halle
lujahs of princely pilgrims.
How the Bean Climbs the Pole.—
Prof. Brewer, of Washington College,
Pa., communicates to the American Jour
nal of Science and dir Is the result of some
experiments made by him on climbing
vines—the hop, the Lima bean, and the
Morning Glory. He finds that they will
climb around a transparent glass pipe just
as well as anything else, and that they
are most ardent in their embraces when
the pole is warmer than the surrounding
air. During the day. the vine is attracted
towards the light; but at night, and espe
cially on cool nights, it turns to the pole.
He learned, also, that the color of the pole
makes no difference: the caressing instinct
of the vine lias no prejudice against any
shade. The element of constancy is very
largely developed ; the vine, after it has
reached its pole, showing a much strongei
tendency to wind around it, than it did
before to reach it.
-«. • ♦.
The Wings op Spread-Eagle Elo
quence Slightly Wet.—A most elo
quent speech was lately delivered in the
Pennsylvania Legislature, by a Mr. Ste
phens, of Wayne, whose enthusiasm on
the subject of the “stars and stripes,” the
“ genius of liberty,” the “ pilgrim fathers,”
the “ American eagle," the “ forefathers
of ’76,” *' constitutional liberty,” Stc.ywas
such that it was found necessary to call in
a posse to keep order and decorum. All
survived the effort, however, when a Mr,
Thorn obtained the floor, and stated that
the speech reminded him of a poetical
production he once heard on the history 01
a steamboat calamity on the Mississippi
river, something *ike the following:
“ She pitched and heaved, and heaved am!
pitched.
And up her rudder thing.
And every time she pi died ami heaved,
A worser leak she sprung.”
