mercury, he is enabled to determine pretty accu¬ 
rately what the weather will be, often two or 
three days in advance of a storm. The mean 
heightof the mercury In this vicinity is about 29# 
inches, and when at this point we may expect 
fair weather, except during a northeast wind it 
may rain at these figures, and sometimes higher. 
The mercury will often begin to rise slowly 
during a storm, which indicates that the atmos¬ 
phere is undergoing a change, and if it con¬ 
tinues to rise we may feel assured that the storm 
will soon be over. 
Want of space precludes us from giving all 
the rules to be observed in using the barometer, 
but from experience in the use of this scientific 
weather indicator we have found it to be pretty 
reliable, and we think that it accomplishes the 
end designed in its construction; and we also 
think that in the production of the barometer 
science has made one of her most valuable con¬ 
tributions, not only for the benefit of the sailor, 
the man of letters, the farmer and the philoso¬ 
pher, but for all mankind, not excepting even 
the “ Farmers’ Club of Gotham,” for when the 
members thereof become a little more familiar 
with its workings they will manifest their appre¬ 
ciation of its excellencies iu “ songs of loudeet 
praise.” n. b. a.

HOPE AND DUTY. 
GRAMMAR IN RHYME 
A writer in Fraser’s Magazine saysA use¬ 
ful if hackneyed moral may be enforced by a 
story of M. de Beaujon, the financier, who built 
the Elysee Bourbon and fitted It up In a style of 
luxury that made it one of the wonders of Paris. 
An Englishman obtainod leave to visit it, and 
on entering the dining room found a table mag¬ 
nificently laid out. “ Your master," he observ¬ 
ed to the rnaitre d’hotel, "makes wonderfully 
good cheer.” “ Helas, sir, my master never sits 
down to a regular dinner; a single plate of veg¬ 
etables is prepared for him.” " Here, at least, 
Is food for the eye,” said the visitor, pointing to 
the pictures. “ Helas, sir, my master Is nearly 
blind.” "Well,” resumed the Englishman, on 
entering the second suite, "he compensates 
himself by listening to good music.” “Helas, 
sir, my master has never heard the music 
which is played here; he goes’ to bod early In 
the hopes of catching a lew minutes of sleep.” 
“ But at all events he enjoys the pleasure of 
walking In that magnificent garden.” " Helas, 
sir, he cannot walk.” In a word, the supposed 
Lucullna was leading the life of Tantalus ; for 
all purposes of eujoymeut the millionaire was 
the poorest of the poor.” 
Little Grammarians, by committing the following 
Hues to memory, need never mistake a part of speech. 
They will do well to cut It out and preserve it: 
1 Three little words you often sec, 
Are Articles— an and Me. 
2 A Noun’s the name of anything; 
As hoop or garden, school or wing. 
3 Adjectives tell the kind of Noun; 
As great , small , pretty, white or brown. 
4 Instead of Nouns the Pronouns stand— 
Her bead, hU face, your arm, my hand. 
5 Verba tell of something being done— 
To read, count , sing, laugh or run. 
6 How things are done, the Adverbs tell, 
As slowly, quickly, ill or well, 
7 Conjunctions join the words together— 
As men and women, wind or weather. 
8 The Preposition stands before 
A Noun, as in or through a door. 
9 The Interjection shows surprise— 
As oh! how pretty; ah! how wise. 
The whole arc called nine parts of speech, 
Which Reading, Writing, Speaking teach. 
“ The Barometer is constructed on the 
principle of atmospheric pressure. This term 
is compounded of the two Greek words, boros, 
weight, and metrou, measure. This instrument 
is designed to measure the weight of the atmos¬ 
phere,” and the changes that occur in this elas¬ 
tic fluid are indicated by a graduated scale at the 
side or back of the glass tube containing the 
mercury. A column of mercury from 29 to 80 
inches in height will balance a column of air of 
the same diameter, extending to the top of the 
atmosphere, a distance of about 45 miles. 
Ever since the foot of man first pressed the 
green grass of earth, or the guiding star moved 
and stood still in the East, Civilization and Edu¬ 
cation have moved forward slowly, hut surely, 
hoping for a brighter future. The prayers of 
god-like men and virtuous, heroic women, have 
ascended to Heaven petitioning for better days, 
days when ftll mankind might enjoy the rich re¬ 
wards of education, and stand free before their 
fellows. Even we, of this day, while Our minds 
are being wafted by the fickle winds of Fortune, 
from fear to joy, from joy to sorrow, are indulg¬ 
ing in pleasant, careless dreams of time which is 
to be. Reader, have our eyes become so blinded 
by the drifting sands of Ignorence and Infidelity 
that we cannot see® Hare onr ears become so 
accustomed to the erics of the poor and the suf¬ 
fering that wc cannot hear® Have our hearts 
become so calloused by selfishness and bigotry 
that we cannot feel or sympathize ? Have our 
hand6 become 90 tender, and delicate from idle¬ 
ness that we are ashamed to labor? Let us not 
deceive or flatter ourselves that the great Re¬ 
corder of actions will feed the poor or educate 
the ignorant independent of our instrumental¬ 
ity; for the rich must give to the beggar, and 
the educated teach the uneducated. 
Now, the question comes, are we doing this ? 
Certainly we are; but how, and where? We are 
sending missionaries across the Atlantic to con¬ 
vert the African; we are sending books to all 
parts of the globe to enlighten and educate the 
heathen; we are driving the Indian from his 
home and erecting the log hut of our race upon 
the smoking ruins of his wigwam;—yes, we are 
even ordering teachers South to emancipate in¬ 
tellect, force darkness from the cabin of the 
Freedman, and light the home of the late op¬ 
pressor. I say we are doing all this, while at 
home wc arc Btnmbling over the poor, and find¬ 
ing our way from the dark dens of Ignorance 
and Infidelity! Wc are collecting money to 
erect institutions of learning on the Islands of 
the Pacific, while all around us, here, onr school 
houses are being burned, or converted into 
grain-barns to augment the rich man's wealth; 
they are either destroyed or are standing idle, 
mere mocking monuments of what we were. 
While the flower of the American Union, just 
budding into manhood, has been plucked that 
the stalk might live, fathers and mothers have 
hoped—anxiously, earnestly hoped—that those 
surviving might be reared under the sacred in¬ 
fluences of a free government. They have not 
hoped in vain; their prayers have been heard and 
answered. But now they have another war.be- 
fore them—another victory to win or lose—an¬ 
other petition to offer: that their sons and 
daughters may eat of the rich fruit that springs 
from the common schools. 
Our schools have been neglected—wofolly 
neglected! In the great contest between right 
and wrong, we have forgotten our duty to the 
rising generation. The buildings that our fath¬ 
ers erected will not stand always, and it is our 
duty as their children, as their successors, as 
young men of the nineteenth century, and as 
the guides of the future, to rebuild them,—for 
we, not they, must bear, in a measure, the re¬ 
sponsibilities of our successors. What laws, 
what people, to cry we arc free—we have free 
institutions, and free schools —while they are 
casting the mantle of falsehood over their own 
wealth, to avoid taxes, and compelling the poor 
to fill up, repair, and sustain them! The strong 
court the strong, and the rich walk arm-in-arm 
with the rich, while the poorer class, the actual 
supporters of the Nation, are forgotten—passed 
by without a glance. If we expect to be an exam¬ 
ple for the world—if we would hope to have our 
influence felt by other nations—if we wish for 
the education of the heathen, and if we would 
prosper as a nation, we mast build np and fling 
wide open the doors of out’ district schools. 
If any of the institutions of learning in our land 
must perish let them be the academies and sem¬ 
inaries—not the common

ABOUT PEAT. 
For Moore's RaralJNew-rorker 
AMONG THE HILLS. 
BENTON’S STORY FOR CALHOUN 
“Peat is the spongy substance found in 
almost every country, tilling up cavities in the 
surface, and constituting what is called bog. It 
varies In color from light brown to black, and in 
consistency from that of a bran paste to that of 
clay in the bank." It is supposed to be formed 
by the decay of a kind of swamp moss. Its oc¬ 
currence is frequently indicated by the growth 
of dwarfish evergreens, and rank swamp herb¬ 
age, and by the elasticity of the crust which 
supports them. To test a supposed peat bod 
one has only to dig a little below the roots of 
the herbage or trees, take out some, dry and 
burn It. If the swamp be covered with water, a 
pole, having a deep groove along its side, may 
be thrust down, and enough will be brought to 
the surface for a sample. The best peat is that 
which, other things being equal, is the most 
dense. Some kinds are almost as hard and com¬ 
bustible as coal; others are like dried turf. 
Much, however, that would not pay to work for 
market, would answer for the farmer’s own nse. 
In working a peat bed the first, thing 
to be done, If it is necessary, * Is to Cr-yi 
drain It. If only a little is wanted it * 0 ®/ 
can generally be taken out without ||j 
drainage in the dryeat part of the sum- j[j 
mer. After removing the surface the 
peat is cut out in blocks, with an in. ll 
strument, called the Slant. This tool t 
may be made by a blacksmith; it has I 
a handle like a spade, and a blade 
about eighteen Inches long, bent down 
at right angles through the middle. £11 
This takes out tho peat in blocks very li" 
nicely, and It U only necessary to dry J*’ 
them and 6toro under cover for U 30 . * 
Sometimes tho peat Is so brittle that ri \ 
it will not admit of being taken out in $1 \ 
blocks with the slane. In that case it m \ 
Is shoveled out; roots, stones, and S|J \ 
sticks, picked out, and It is dried on H \ 
the green-sward. It is worked, and 
trodden, like mortar, and when dry it f 
attains consistency enough to admit slake. 
of cutting into blocks. 
Peat is extensively used in Europe for fuel. 
We have no doubt but that it will be profitable 
to resort to It In many parts of the West, whore 
it may be abundant and other fuel is scarce; but 
it is not yet established that it will be extensively 
or economically used as fuel ou railroads or 
steamboats. w. 
In the good old dnyB of Senatorial debate, 
when gentlemen reasoned with each other, in¬ 
stead of talking to their political constituents 
through the Congressional Globe, Mr. Calhoun 
once interrupted Mr. Benton, to ask If he (Mr. 
Calhonn) was included In the number of revenue 
croakers, then being denounced by the Missou¬ 
rian. “Mr. President," said Mr. Benton, in his 
most pompous manner, *‘I will answer the gen¬ 
tleman from South Carolina, sir, by telling him 
an anecdote, sir. It is the story of a drummer, 
sir, taken prisoner in the low counties of Hol¬ 
land, by the vldettes of Marshal Saxe, under 
circumstances which deprived him of tho pro¬ 
tection of the laws of war. About t.o be shot, 
sir, the poor drummer pleaded in his defence 
that he was a non-combatant, be did not fight 
tho hill people, he did nothing, he said, air, but 
beat Ills drum In the rear of the lino. But he 
was answered, sir, so much the worse — that he 
made other people fight by the use of his Insig¬ 
nificant little drumsticks, which drove them on. 
He was only in tho rear of the line, sir, but he 
drove others on into the fray with his rattle-de¬ 
bang, sir, and he should suffer tor It. 1 hope, 
sir, (and here Mr. Benton gave Mr. Calhoun a 
withering glance,) that my story is understood."

Some days ago, as we were perambulating the 
hills In this vicinity, wo stopped Jfor a moment, 
to view the scenery from where we then stood, 
on the brow of a high bluff, from which we 
could obtain a splendid sight of the surrounding 
country. Three httudred feet below us, wo aeo 
the proud wuters of tho Mississippi, winding 
their way among innumerable islands, and be¬ 
tween high and rocky bluffs, on their way to 
the Gulf. On either side are deep, wide valllea, 
running far out Into the country, their sides 
covered now with the deep green foliage of 
Nature. 
But as we gaze, our attention is attracted to a 
small sheet of smoke, carling upward aud wafted 
toward us by the breeze. It grows larger and 
larger, and at last the whole upper portion of 
the valley is enveloped in flames, and a dense 
volume of smoke tills the air. The binfl’s are on 
fire 1 The Urey element steadily Increases in ex¬ 
tent and power, aud we can hear its crackling, 
hissing roar as it sweeps onward. In a little 
while the whole face of the bluff upon which 
we stand will be a sheet of flame! But hark! 
The bushes near by rattle, as If by the passing 
of some animal! Nearer and uearer It comes, 
and at last bounds out from the bushes. It is a 
deer 1 He stands and looks back defiantly at the 
fire which drove him from his cover. Oh! how 
beautiful he looks, standing there in all the 
beauty of his wild nature, his tiny hoofs Impa¬ 
tiently pawing the earth. He stays but for a 
moment. Catching sight of ns, he seems to 
think his liberty is at stake, and bounds down 
tho blnff like the wind. Nor does he stop at the 
river. Doubling himself with the agility of a 
cat, he leaps far ont Into the stream. For a 
moment he is lost to sight, aud then we see him 
rise again to the surface, and boldly strike out 
for the Minnesota shore. Again we see.hiin on 
terra flrma, bounding over tho narrow waste of 
prairie on tho other side, until he finally disap¬ 
pears among the far off wooded’hllls, and is lost 
to our gaze forever. 
Hold,—we had forgotten the fire but for the 
heat, which will soon compel us to leave this 
most grand, yet destructive sight, to take eare 
of itself, as nothing but the river cau cheek it, 
and retrace our way homeward. Suffice it to 
say it was Indeed a grand sight. Weight waer?

As it is not the design of the present article 
to describe minutely the construction of the 
barometer, but only Us uses, we will proceed to 
notice some of the various purposes to which 
this truly philosophical aad useful Instrument 
has been applied in the varied business of civil¬ 
ized life. It is used on shipboard, -where it in¬ 
variably indicates the changes of the weather, 
and the approach of storms; no experienced 
Beaman would think of making a voyage with¬ 
out a barometer any sooner than he would sail 
without a compass. “ The watchful captain, 
particularly in southern latitudes, is always at¬ 
tentive to this monitor, and when he observes 
the mercury sink suddenly, he takes immediate 
measures to meet the approaching tempest.” 
As an illustration of the value of this Instru¬ 
ment at sea, we wUl give the following extract 
from the celebrated Dr. Arnot, who was him¬ 
self present at the time ; 
“ The sun had just set with a placid appear¬ 
ance, closing a beautiful afternoon, aud the usual 
mirth of the evening watch proceeded, when the 
eaptalu’s orderB came to prepare with all haste 
Ibr a storm. The mercury had begun to fall with 
appalling rapidity. As yet the oldest sailors had 
not perceived even a threatening in the sky, and 
were surprised at the extent and hurry of the 
preparations, bat the required measures were 
scarcely completed when the most awful hurri¬ 
cane burst upon them that the most experienced 
had ever seen. Nothing could withstand it. 
The sails, already furled and closely bound to 
the yards, were riveu into tatters; even the bare 
yards and masts were in a great measure dis¬ 
abled ; aBd at one time the whole rigging had 
uearly fallen by the board. Such, for a few 
hours, was the miDgled roar of the hurricane 
above, of the waves around, and the Incessant 
peals of thunder, that no human voice could be 
heard; and amidst the general consternation 
even the trumpet sounded in vain. On that 
awful night, but for a little tube of mercury 
which had given the warning, neither the 
strength of the noble ship, nor the skill and 
energies of her commander, could have saved 
one man to tell the tale.” 
It is also used to measure the height of moun¬ 
tains, and the elevation to which balloons as¬ 
cend from tho surface of the earth. When car¬ 
ried to the top of a hlli, or a high tower, there 
is always a sensible depression of the fluid. In 
determining heights by the barometer, it will 
be sufficiently accurate, for ordinary purposes, 
to reckon ten feet of elevation for every one- 
Uundreth of an inch fall of the mercury. On 
the top of Mont Blanc, which is about 16,000 
fbet above the level of the sea, the mercury 
falls to 14 inches, while at the foot of the moun¬ 
tain, or at the level of the sea, it stands at about 
29 inches. “ The mean pressure of the atmos¬ 
phere, as indicated by the barometer, Is nearly 
the same at the level of the sea in all parts of 
the globe, corresponding very nearly to 30 inches 
of mercury. Within the tropics the fluctua¬ 
tions of the merenry rarely exceed# of an luch, 
while the greatest variations take place between 
the latitudes of 80" and GO', it being the zone in 
which the greatest changes of temperature and 
humidity occur." 
The barometer is useful to the farmer, for, by 
carefully watching the rising and falling of the

A GOOD CHARACTER, 
INSECT ANATOMISTS 
A ooon character i3 to a young man what a 
firm foundation is to the artist who proposes to 
erect a substantlaljbuilding on it. He can well 
build with safety, and all who behold it will have 
codfldenee iu its solidity—a helping hand will 
never be wanted; but let a single part of this be 
detective, and you go at hazard, doubting and 
dLstrustlngi.and ten to one it will tumble down 
at last and mingle all that was built on it in 
ruin. Without a good character poverty is a 
curse; with it, scarcely an evil. Happiness can¬ 
not exist whore good character is not. All that 
Is bright in tho hope of youth, and that is calm 
and blissful Iu the sober scenes of life, all that is 
soothing In the vale of years centers in and is 
derived from a good character. Therefore ac¬ 
quire this as the first and most valuable good. 
A French paper gives some curious details on 
the manufacture of false eyes In Paris. The 
average sale per week of eyes intended for the 
human heads amounts to 400. One of the load¬ 
ing “oculists’’ receives one in a magnificent 
saloon, resplendent with glldiDg and mirrors. 
His servant has but one eye, and if you want 
to gee the effect of one of the eyes, he rings the 
bell and tries the eye in the wretched servant's 
head, so that yon may Judge of the effect it will 
produce in yonr own or that of your friend. He 
charges 40f. or 50f. per eye. For the poor there 
are second hand Visual organs, which have been 
worn for a year by some eyeless duke or nabob, 
and exchanged for a new one after twelve 
months’ service. These are then sold to the 
poorer classes, at a reduced price, er sent off to 
America, India, or the Sandwich Islands, where 
the colored races are not so fastidious as regards 
the match. 
Dr. Charles Dorat, writing from Santa 
Anna, Salvador, describes a curious surgical pro¬ 
cess practised by the Indians of that country. 
When it is required to bring the borders or lips 
of a gash together, which in civilized countries 
is done by means of suture, the Indian surgeon 
simply gets a few of an enormous species of 
ants common in the State of Salvador, and pro¬ 
vided with large forcipes or shears similar in 
shape to those of a lobster. The operator, hav¬ 
ing brought the borders of the wounds close 
together by means of the fingers of his left 
hand, takes the ant by the middle with the fore¬ 
finger and thumb of the right. The insect, 
which is very ferocious, opens its shears wide 
apart, and this moment being skilfully taken ad¬ 
vantage of by the surgeon, fastens with Impla¬ 
cable tenacity on the flesh, thus holding the 
borders of the wound firmly together. The ope¬ 
rator now kills the ant by crashing its body, 
leaving the head where it Is, and proceeds to 
apply another and another in the same way, till 
the whole wound is closed. This operation was 
performed in the presence of Dr. Dorat, In the 
case of a man who had received a dangerous 
gash in the abdomen, from which lie subsequent¬ 
ly recovered very rapidly through this operation. 
iChools. One old 
shool house has performed more for the ad¬ 
vancement of Education and Civilization than 
any academy in the United States. There we 
learn Life's first lessons; there, while our minds 
are free from the superstitions and falsehoods of 
the world and the ignorant, we are taught 
the true object and duty of mankind. 
The Common Schools of this country consti¬ 
tute the hope—the only hope—of millions of 
poor parents, whose children will die in igno¬ 
rance and poverty, If that is vain; they are the 
corner-stones of the nation’s wealth and prosper¬ 
ity, and will stand upon the pages ot Amenean 
History, through future years, as the noblest 
and purest monuments of the nineteenth centu¬ 
ry. You may ask what right have I to plead for 
lor the cause of education or poverty ? My an¬

in London, two little girls presented theihselves 
to receive the pride, one of whom recited 
one verse more than the other, both having 
learned aoverul thousand verses of Scripture. 
The gentleman who presided inquired: 
“ And could you not have learned one verse

“Yes sir,” the blushing child replied; “but 
I loved Martha and kept back on purpose."

China. — A country where the roses have no 
fragrance and the women no petticoats; where 
the laborer has no Sabbath and the magistrate 
no sense of honor; where the roads bear no 
vehicles and the ships no keels; where old men 
fly kites; where the needle points to the south, 
and the sign of being puzzled Is to scratch the 
antipodes of the head; where the place of hon¬ 
or is on the left hand and the seat of intellect is 
in the stomach ; where to take off your hat is 
an insolent gesture, and to wear white garments 
is to put yourself iu mourning; which has a lit¬ 
erature without an alphabet, and a language 
without a grammar. 
Breech-Loading Guns.— These guns have 
generally been regarded as a modern invention, 
but it seems the fact is otherwise. The Scien¬ 
tific American concedes this in replying to a 
correspondent, and says the breech-loading guns 
are probably as ancient as any, and quotes Ben¬ 
ton on Ordnance aud Gunnery, who says:— 
“Among the earliest cannon are found Jkose 
which were loaded at the breech Instead of the 
muzzle. One of the earliest methods was that 
of having a rectangular, horizontal opening at 
the breech to receive a Blidlng chamber contain¬ 
ing the charge, the block being held In its place 
by a key inserted from the top of the piece.” 
Speak the Truth.— Perhaps there is no one 
thing, my little friend, upon which your future 
respectability and happiness in life so much de¬ 
pends, as upon your uniform truthfulness now 
in youth. Will you please remember this ? 
A writer in the New Orleans Christian Advo¬ 
cate says that, so far as he has ascertained, 
between one thousand and twelve hundred 
churches were burned during the war. These 
churches, he thinks, had cost the people not 
less than $5,000,000. In the loss the Methodists 
were the greatest sufferers. 
God never forgets any labor of love; and what¬ 
ever it may be of which the first and best por¬ 
tions have been presented to him, he will increase 
and multiply seven fold.
