Tree anp Beattirci.—Some ono has remarked, with equal trnth and beauty, that eduy
cation does not commence with the olphabet.
It begins with a mother’s look, with a sister's
gentle pressure of the hand or a brother's noble
forbesrance. With hundsfall of flowers in
ereen daisy meadows, with creeping and almost
imperceptible earmets, with humming bees,
und gliss bee-hives, with pleasant walks in
shady lanoz, with thought directed, in sweet
und kindly tones nud words, tu nvture ond acts
of benevolence, to decds of virtue and to the
souree of ull good, to Goll himself.
Bats.—Don't destroy the tats. They do an
nutold amount of good in eatehing the nightying moths, some of whieh ure the parents of
the most destructive worms and insects, Nor
do they do any harm. ‘There wns a time when
we, ia common with most other boys, mude a
practico of striking down every but we suw,
with a sert of Teeling thnt we were doing a
good thing. It was a mistake, and we nme
sorry lo have a single but on the epnscience.
Bats do good and only good, und the larmer
and the larmer’s boy shoald be the last to
hurm them.
Prorasity.—Tho vice of profanity wenrs its
own inroad into the minds of the young, if
they aro not properly guurded in the comInencement of their young carer. The people of this land are certainly distinguished, to
an extent unknown in other countries, by profaneness. Astranger might infer from the
tone of popular conversation, from the exclarations of excited individuals, from tho clumors
of anger and passion, that we acknowledge the
Almighty for no other purpose than that we
might have a name to swear by, or n conyvenient expletive to fill up the chasms of discourse.
Lucky O.p Max.—Amos Kendall, who in
his old ago, amassed a fortune by investing in
telegraphic stocks, has devoted the sum of
$50,000 to tho ereetion of a Baptist Church
in Washiueton city, as a memorial to his
deceased wife, who was a member of that denontnation. Mr. Kendall retired from General Jackson's administration poor hut now, at
the age of eighty, enjoys, an income of $40,000 a year.
Vaivante Guivea.—Not long since, a boy
in Boston fouud a guinea dated 1676—just a
hundred years before the Declaratiou of American Independonce. Shortly after the discovery,a New York numismatologist offered
the boy's father one thousaud dollars for the
old guiuea.
Tur same person who owned the farm on
which the fighting commenced at the first battle
of Manassas, also owned the house in which
General Grant and General Lee drew up the
articles of surrender.

The relative grinding capacities of “The Excelsior” Grinder
and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical
Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 98 and 110.
That is, tho respective mullers being of the same diameter,
same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity,
“The Iexcelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will reduce one hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and ten tons to the
same degree of fineness in the same time.
The wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfaces ia th®
Excelsior Grinder and Autalgamntor, is perfectly nniform, thn?
securing evenness of reduction to the pulp, us well as stendiness
of motion to the muller. Uniform wear of the grinding plntes
has heen attained in no other thin that of the Tyaclory forn—uor
Another property of excellence in this machine is that the melal
or snbstnnee to be amalgamated passes direct trom the grinding
surfaces into the qnicksilver; thus excluding the possibility of its
hecoming coated with any forcign substances, after having been
dt is truthfully said “that the Tractory-lormed Pan
ng a Grinder has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior.”
As a whole, it is far superior to any other pan in use.
