Webster, his most remarkable intellectual efforts, and the 
most valuable and interesting eulogies which the great men 
of the nation uttered in honor of Ins memory. 
We present all these treasures in this volume, at a mode¬ 
rate price, and in a very convenient form. Subscriptions

the swing that used to hang from the boughs of the 
apple tree — the green meadows and fields of wav¬ 
ing grain — the village church and the grave-yard 
dotted with white stones. 
Hester sighed as she 
but soon she said, 
“ i think I know what that verse means, mamma. 
I have always wanted so much to live in the coun¬ 
try, where I could hear the birds sing and see the 
flowers grow; aud I sometimes feel angry because 
God has not given us a prettier home. But now, 
I think the verse tells us that it is enough for us 
here to have 
‘ Ilia wondrous lore and etory,’ 
and then when we die to live with Him in Heaven,” 
and clasping her hands she softly whispered to 
herself, 
“ While here below, how sweet to know 
His wondrous love and story; 
And then, through grace, to see His face 
And live with Him in glory.” 
Richard Craig came home that night sober, for 
a wonder. Hkster was sleeping —an uneasy, fit¬ 
ful slumber. Her cheeks were flushed and she 
murmured incoherent sentences to herself in a 
wild, strange manner, that alarmed the anxious 
mother much. Many times she laid down her work 
to bathe and kiss the feverish brow of the little 
sleeper. As her husband entered Margaret sprang 
toward him and grasping his hand led him unre- 
‘ Is she very sick ?” 
He was shocked.— 
Merry little sunbeams, 
Flitting here and there; 
Joyous little sunbeams, 
Dancing everywhere; 
Come they with the morning light. 
And chase away the gloomy night. 
They kiss away the dewdrops 
That hang upon the flowers, 
They lift the lazy mist that liea 
Upon the sylvan bowers; 
They bring each one its little spark 
To drive away all shadows dark. 
■Kind words are little sunbeams, 
And sparkle as they fall; 
And loving smiles are sunbeams, 
A light of joy to all; 
In-sorrow’s eye they dry the tear, 
And bring the fainting heart good cheer. 
Scatter these little sunbeams 
Free as the balmy air, 
That all in sorrow’s darkness 
Their joyous light may share; 
Their light reflected on your heart 
Will make its shadow all depart.

In- silence mighty things arc wrought— 
Silently builded, thought on thought, 
Truth’s temple greets the sky; 
And, like a citadel with towers, 
The soul with her subservient powers, 
Is strengthened silently. 
Soundless as chariots on the snow. 
The saplings of the forest grow 
To trees of mighty girth; 
Eaeh mighty star in silence burns, 
And every day in silence turns 
The axle of the earth. 
The silent frost, with mighty hand, 
Fetters the river and the land 
With universal chain; 
And smitten by the silent sun, 
The chain is loosed, the rivers run, 
The lands are free again.

sisting to Hester’s bed-side, 
she asked in agonized tones. 
II there was any one he loved on earth, it was Hes¬ 
ter, his deformed child. The fever-flush had died 
away from her face leaving it deathly pale. Just 
then she opened her eyes. “Papa!” she exclaim¬ 
ed as she pressed his quivering lips to hers; “ dear 
papa!” and laying her hand in her mother’s she 
said, “I have such a beautiful dream, all about 
green fields and bright flowers. You told me there 
are such in Heaven, mamma, and I think I’m going 
there, 
‘His wondrous love and story’ ” 
she murmured, “that’s all we want here.” 
“I want you!" the mother cried, clasping her 
in her arms, but the child leaned back on her pillow 
and repeated, 
“ For those who know His love below,— 
So runs the wondrous story — 
1-n Heaven, through grace, shall see Hisfacc 
And dwell with Him in glory.” 
There was a smile on her lips, but the spirit had 
fled. At last Hester’s longing eyes had obtained 
a view of the “green fields” and the “never-with¬ 
ering flowers ” of the Upper Country. 
With one deep sigh Margaret Craig fell sense¬ 
less by the little form, and the wretched husband 
and father knelt in speechless agony by the bed¬ 
side. It was broad day-light when his wife again 
opened her eyes. Although she could hardly credit 
her senses, her father bent over her and his tears 
were falling fast as she clasped her arms around 
his neck and kissed him for the first time in years. 
Then, as her eyes rested upon a little coffin placed 
upon the table, she groaned “too late, too late!” 
aud turned her face away to weep. Before another 
sun had set, -she pillowed her head upon her moth¬ 
er’s breast, as-of old, and in the same room where 
so many happy hours of her girlhood were spent, 
the dear old mother sang her long-absent daugh¬ 
ter to sleep onoe more. 
It was a calm -September evening, and ever and 
anon from amid the floating masses of silvery 
clouds, the straggling moon-beams played upon a 
little new-made grave by which Richard Craig 
and his wife were kneeling. 
“Maggy, darling,” he said as he drew her tear- 
stained face to his breast, “tell me you forgive me; 
and tell me also, 
‘ His wondrous love and story,’ 
just as you used to tell her — our Hester. I 
haven’t heard it since I was a boy at my mother’s 
knee.” 
With faltering voice the gentle wife told of the 
Christmas Day in Bethlehem, welcomed in by 
angel-anthems — of the Heavenly Babe and the 
Virgin-mother. She traced through long years 
the Meek and Lowly Man of Sorrows, who had not 
where to lay His sacred head — with tears she 
spoke of the agony of the Garden of Gethsemane 
— the crown of thorns — the blood-stained Cross— 
aud, lastly, of His glorious resurrection and as¬ 
cension. 
With bowed head and throbbing heart Richard 
listened as she led him, step by step, from the Cra¬ 
dle to the Cross — to Heaven —and then through 
the clear, evening air rose her sweet voice in these 
simple, child-like words — Hester’s verse: 
“While here below, how sweet to know 
His wondrous love and story; 
And then, through grace, to see nis face 
And live with Him in glory!”

From inhospitable shores, soulless beings, iradu- 
cers, infidels and knaves, I filed under inextricable 
embarrassments to Iowa. 
The first three answers were from J. A. Place of 
Fulton, T. Scott Lf.dyaed of Pultneyville and W. H. 
Dorrance, Jr., Albion, N. Y., to whom we have for¬ 
warded the premiums offered. 
We have received about 160 supposed solutions, only 
a few of which are entirely correct. In addition to the 
first three the following persons (and perhaps two or 
three others) have sent correct answers:—J. R. Bishop, 
W. B. Shaw, E. L. Colby, E. T. Weld, E. D. Smith, 
Clark Ilurlbutt. jAt. Morseman, C. C. Park, Miss F. S. 
Burnett, S. LoycjjAj^nd A. T). Stowell. 
Of the numcr'^^WE-owout answers, many are very 
amusing. Some'T^ Are awful, while a great propor- 
•Sion are correct with the exception of one or two words. 
We give samples of a few of the most queer, as follows: 
From inhospitable poorhouse, soulless beings, tra- 
ducer, infidels, and knaves, I fled under inextricable 
embarrassments to a money purse.-From inhospita¬ 
ble housekeepers, soulless beings, traducers, infidels, 
and knaves, I fled under inextricable embarrassments 
to open honesty.-From inhospitable, underminded, 
soulless beings, boxers, infidels -.and knaves, I fled un¬ 
der inextricable embarrassments to Iowa.-From 
inhospitable proposals of beings dire in .violence, and 
liubub, 1 fled under inextricable embarrassments to 
Iowa.-From inhospitable, houseless, soulless beings, 
traducers, base violence and hubbubs, I fled under inex¬ 
tricable embarrassments to a knot hole.-From inhos¬ 
pitable, ruined, soulless beings, blockheads, black 
characters, infidels, and hubbubs, I fled with inextrica¬ 
ble embarrassments twice away.-From inhospitable, 
half-supported, soulless beings, dire in violence and 
hubbub, I fled under inextricable embarrassments to 
open day.-Form inhospitable, failing,.-60ulless beings, 
holier infidels and knaves, I fled under inextricable em¬ 
barrassments to law!-Front inhospitable shores, soul¬ 
less Jbeings, dicers, infidels and revolutionists, (or re¬ 
volvers,) I fled under inextricable embarrassments to 
America.-From racing, gambling, ruined or ruinous, 
soulless beings, traducers, (or slanderers,) trillings and 
knaves, 1 fled in inxtricable embarrassments to Iowa. 
-From inhospitable shores, soulless beings, traducers, 
infidels and hobs, or skeptics, 1 fled in extreme embar¬ 
rassments to a cave.-From inhospitable inns, souls, 
turn beggars, disrecline, base, vile, inns, and habbub, 1 
inextricably embarrassed fled to oats.-From Before 
inhospitable, dependent, soulless beings, betrayers, base 
villains and knaves, I fled under inextricable embar¬ 
rassments as before Asiatic cholera! 
The last character of the Rebus seems to have been 
the greatest puzzle. To show the queer conceits on this 
point we give a few of the places where the Rebus- 
niaker is said to have fled under inextricable embar¬ 
rassments, to wit—to a protector; to avoid; to I’a.; to 
muse; to California; to a cross; to God; to a clift; to 
a distance; to Utopia; to a holy interjection ; to law ; 
to a covert; to Asia; to to-day; to my last abode; to 
Acadia; to a great city; to Cuba; to Oerossa; to Aus¬ 
tralia, (O straddle A,); to Ionia; to a nobler sphere ; to 
Aonia; to a cell; lo Indiana; to Lima; to a Continent; 
to Florida; to a puzzle. 
But few of the incorrect solutions are alike. They 
have come from about every State and the Canadas, and 
each, confident of being right, gives directions as to 
where to send the Rural or Gold Pen if the answer is 
in time ! Several of the responses (including one cor¬ 
rect one) are from clergymen, while honorables, lawyers 
and other professionals have given evidence of some 
attention to Rebus Literature. But we must close.

rpHE HOOKER STRAWBERRY !-THE BEST 
L YET INTRODUCED.—The attention of Amateurs and 
Growers of Fruit for market is again called to this Straw¬ 
berry. 
All that its friends have hitherto claimed for it has been 
more than fulfilled, and testimonials without end could be 
furnished to attest its merits. 
The following, making a list of advantages, ail constitute its 
chief points of excellence!—the truth of which those who 
feel disposed, are confidently asked to verify: 
let. 'flic plant is very vigorous and perfectly hardy. 
2d. It is as productive ns any other variety, (Wilson's 
Albany not excepted.) The fruit is produced in very 
large clusters, more than 20 perfect berries being fre¬ 
quently gathered from a single stem. 
3d. The flowers are none of them barren, but all perfect«in? 
un iformly productive of fruit. 
4th. Th e/ruit is absolutely unequalled, in flavor; in color 
a rich dark crimson extending into the heart of the 
bun'y. wliioli iri firm and aoIPl to the centre- -of iilO 
largest size—yet tender and delicate. 
5th. It takes the 1st premiums wherever exhibited. See 
reports of various Horticultural Societies.

S ANDFORD’S RECIPROCATING FARM MILL, 
For Grinding Feed for Stock, and. Corn,0k other 
Grain for Family Use. The principle of this Mill is entirely 
new. As a Farm or Plantation Mill it stands unrivalled , 
and its advantages over every rotary mill are acknowledged 
by all who have examined it or seen its operation, as being 
highly important. 
1st. It is far more durable, having four times the grinding 
surface of any rotary mill requiring the same power. 
2d. Nearly half of the power is saved, as the resistance is 
all within once inch of the centre of the shaft. 
8d. It eon be purchased at a less price. 
4th. its extreme simplicity enables a person of less than an 
ordinary capacity to keep it in perfect order. 
5th. The plates (subject to wear) can be replaced at an ex¬ 
pense not to exceed 75 cents to $1,25, according to size. 
6th. It will not clog or choke, even if the grain be soaked 
in water, as the reciprocating motion, combined with the 
peculiar dress of the plates, render it impossible. 
7tli. It is capable of grinding more grain in a given time 
than any other mill, with the same amount power. 
8th. It occupies but little room, and is easily removed from 
place to place. 
They are made of different capacities, so as to be turned 
by hand, or are well adapted to horse , steam, or water 
power. Therefore every farmer should own a Mill, toll his 
own grist, and save the time and expense of going to mill. 
Price, delivered on cars or boat, $20 for Single Mill, and $30 
for Double Mill, grinding twice as fast as the single. 
Extra sets of plates will be sent with each mill.

IIIS WONDROUS LOVE AND STORY. 
Little Hester Craig moved uneasily in her 
arm-chair— poor, crippled child. She was so tired 
of sitting there by the window, gazing out upon 
the dark, narrow alley from which the pure air and 
bright sunshine of heaven were ever shut by the tall, 
gloomy-looking houses. Instead of the blue sky 
and the green fields she so longed to see; the bird¬ 
song she strained her ears in vain to hear, were the 
clouds of smoke that shrouded the vicinage—the 
muddy, filthy street crowded with dirty, ragged 
children — the profane jest, ribald laugh, and the 
blasphemer’s oath. What a home for Hester 
Craig, with all her childish yearnings for the beau¬ 
tiful. She was literally dying for want of sunshine. 
Something whispered so in Mrs. Craig’s mother- 
heart, and nerved her faltering fingers with renew¬ 
ed energy, as from morning till night she plied her 
needle — in and out, in and out — urged on by the 
unceasing cry of her soul—“Air and sueshine for 
my child!” 
Mrs. Craig’s husband was a drunkard, but he 
had not always been thus. Hers was an old, old 
life-story. Years before, following the impulses 
of her heart, contrary to the wishes of her parents, 
she united her fate to one who seemed to her the 
embodiment of all goodness and manly perfection; 
but the liome-doors where shut against her. She 
was as happy as she could be, for a year or two, 
without a father’s blessing, deprived of a mother’s 
loving care, then their little, deformed Hester was 
horn, and after that, being unfortunate in business, 
Bichard relapsed into former unsteady habits; 
spending his evening’s from home, lounging in 
billiard saloons and bar-rooms, until, as time wore 
on, his bloated face and staggering gait forced the 
unwelcome conviction upon Margaret Craig’s 
mind that she was the wife of a drunkard. They 
were obliged to leave their pleasant home—where 
first their babe saw the light—for their present 
wretched abode. Here the faithful wife, patient 
and uncomplaining, plied her needle for their 
scanty subsistence. It would be better for her if 
her husbaud was dead and out of the way—so 
some of the neighbors said, but Margaret’s motto 
was “ while there’s life there’s hope!” and so she 
lived on, loving and hoping, the never-dying love 
keeping the hope ever steadfast. 
“Mamma, you never sing to me now-a-day’s—I 
wish you would, I love to hear you so!” 
The pale woman started. “ Mamma used to sing, 
darling, but she don’t feel like it very often now.— 
But I’ll try to if it will please you. What would 
you like?” 
Hester thought a moment, then said, 
“‘His wondrous love and story,’ 
I like that the best,” and folding her hands 
leaned back in her chair with a look of such per¬ 
fect happiness that it brought tears to the mother’s 
eyes. She could not see to guide her needle aright, 
and pushing aside her work, sang in her low, 
sweet, though tremulous, voice, 
“ While here below, how sweet to know 
His wondrous love and story; 
And then, through grace, to see Ilis face, 
And live with Him in glory.” 
It was a hymn Mrs. Craig used to hear, when 
she was a child, from her mother’s lips, and her 
thoughts went back to those days. What would she 
not give to see that mother again ! She imagined 
the dear face marked with traces of sorrow for her 
only daughter; perhaps it was cold in death. 
“Mamma,” said the soft voice again, “tell me 
what you are thinking about.” Mrs. Craig roused 
herself and told her eager little listener of the old 
farm-house — the [flower-beds — the orchard and 
TVTORTHERN MUSCADINE GRAPE.— A Seedling 
In originated in our Society, (Shakers) from the Native 
White Grape. It lias been tried in almost all locations for 
over twenty years past, and selected as the best and most 
profitable, both as a wine and a table Grape, that we are 
acquainted with, (having had considerable experience with 
the Isabella, Catawba, and the principal new varieties now 
in market,) for this location, which is lat. 42, 30 deg. North, 
and as such we can recommend it as being well adapted to 
New England, Northern and Middle States, and Southern 
Canadas, as it ripens from the 1st to the 20th of September, 
one month earlier than the Isabella or Catawba. It is very 
prolific, size medium, or equal to the Isabella, and perfectly 
hardy, needing no protection from the inclemencies of our 
rigorous winters. „ _ 
A correspondent, (Prof. J. P. Kirtland, M. D„ Cleveland 
Medical College,) of the Ohio Farmer, of Cleveland, Ohio, 
Nov. 7, 1857, makes the following remarks:—“During the 
last three weeks we have amused ourselves in treating per¬

Every woman, and every young lady, whose 
heart and mind have been properly regulated, is 
capable of exerting a salutary influence over the 
gentlemen with whom she associates—a fact which 
has been acknowledged by the best and wisest of 
men, and seldom disputed, except by those whose 
capacities forjudging have been singularly per¬ 
verted. A young lady should always seek to con¬ 
verse with gentlemen into whose society she may 
be introduced, with dignified delicacy and sim¬ 
plicity, which will effectually check, on their part, 
any attempt at familiarity; but never should any¬ 
thing be said or done that may lead them to sup¬ 
pose that any attempt is being made to solicit their 
notice. An instance can scarcely be recalled of a 
lady, either by direct or indirect means, attempt¬ 
ing to storm a man’s heart into admiration who 
did not thus effectually defeat lier purpose. 
If a gentleman approaches a lady with the 
words of flattery, and with profuse attentions, 
especially after a short acquaintance, no encoura¬ 
ging smiles or words should be extended—for a 
flatterer can never be otherwise than an unprofita¬ 
ble companion. It is better, by a becoming com¬ 
posure, to pass unnoticed, than, with smiles and 
blushes, to disclaim flattery, since these are fre¬ 
quently considered—as they are too often intended 
—as encouragement for the further effusions of 
those “ painted words.” Such delicate attentions 
as well-bred and refined gentlemen are desirous 
of paying, may be accepted, but they should never 
be expected .—Cincinnati Gazette.
