Scientific Press, 27 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.

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.
