; for no mansion with arching dome,
Or the meed of high position;
Fot the quiet ioy of the cottage home
b the height of my ambition.
Tet I weald net live in this boose alone,
For it would for sweeter be
To sit with a wife on the lower door stone,
And *neath the spreading tree—
To read to her when the winter night
Falls dark o'er the cottage bower—
To wander with her when morn's red light
Opens the lids of the flower ;
To meet her with smiles, morn, noon and even,
And part with a loving kl
To make onr home an earthly heaven
Of paresl human bliss.
Neath the sunlight's glance and the blessed rain,
And from earth's own blest fruition,
To gather onr fruit, and the golden grain—
Is the height of my ambition.
And in a little room, in a quiet nook,
O'er looking the rosy flowers;
Where we both might sit, in a worid of books,
In the heat of noon-tide hoars ;
And converse hold with the years that are gone,
And with regions far away ;
With the authors mind, whose radiance shone
O'er the gloom of life's darkened way.
From this cottage home, with its vine-clad bower,
And the roses o'er the door,
We could view the works of a Maker's power—
No king can e'er do more ?
For the choicest gift of a Father's hand,
Have sped on their holy mission,—
And to dwell 'neath their folds, in this flowery land,
Is the height of my ambition.
Where there hang, at even, the richest folds
When the lingering sunbeams rest;
Where heaven's rich painting the eye beholds
O'er clouds in the distant west;
Where, to greet the God of day above,
Each Flower-face turns to heaven.
And chooses the rays which best they love
From among the glorions seven ;
When the warbTer bathes in the rippling stream,
And rings bis iw«i noses of praise ;
Where honnors attend the daylight's gleam
In the swell of myriad lays;
There to live, and to work, for an heavenly lile,
In the mem'ry of life's transition,
In this beamifut cot, with my own sweet wife,
Is the height of my ambition.

of one of oar
we pssg to the nest in iatertfc, Ceylon, an 1
which eqoally aliares in tbe advantages of abundant
aad cheep labor. So ratyd is the commercial
progresa of this fin* island, that it is somewhat
dJflicalt to keep pace with its advance, and to
chronicle the various stages of improvement that
take place year by year. The last advices announce
the opening of the telegraph from Colombo to
Kandj, and the commencement of the railway
between these two points. The coming crop of
coffee is also spoken of as being abundant and
likely to exceed last year's crop by 100,000 cwt.
The submarine cable, for placing Ceylon and the
continent of India in communication was about to
be laid, and the telegraph coastwise between Mad-
ras and Calcutta was almost finished, so that we
may shortly expect to be placed in as prompt
communication with onr eastern colonial possessions
as we now are with oar western colonies across
the Atlantic. To the owners of the sixty or seventy
vessels annually landing at Ceylon, to the merch,
ants, shippers and owners of estates, this facility
of early communication will be of the greatest
importance.
Tear by year, the Malebar immigration is larger,
and a very satisfactory feature is, that a large,
permanent settlement is going on. The number
who go back to India after their period of servitude
lisa terminated is less. Thus, while 15,402 immig-
rants arrived in 1855,10,308 departed—leaving
6094 residents in the island. Last year the coolie
arrivals numbered 69,670, and the departures were
39,937, leaving a population of nearly 30,000.
The agricultural resources are not yet sufficient to
supply the food for this influx, although there is
no reason why it should not be produced in Ceylon.
Still, the necessary imports give an increased
stimulus to shipping in the conveyance of rich,
dried and salted fish,carry stuffs, live stock, We are
largely dependenr upon Ceylon for many valuable
colonial products, such as coffee, cinnamon, cocoa-
nut oil, black lead, coir, and other fibres. The im-
ports of coffee are now about 600,000 cwt, and of
cinnamon nearly 1,000,000 pounds. The exports,
in 1866, were valued at £1,509,087, and the imports
at £1,672,683. Moreover, as a consumer of cotton
goods, Ceylon is raising fast in the scale, and new
settlers from India become good consumers to our
manufacturers and merchants.—London Shipping

"Thi Mother of Watebs."—Lieut. Harbersham,
in his letters from China to the Philadelphia Led-
ger, asserts that the Mississippi river, which we call
the Father of Waters," is not to be compared to
the Yang-tje-Eiang river ,to which he applies the
"Mother of Waters." In proof of this, he com-
pares the width and volume of the two streams:
The Uississsippi opposite New Orleans is not
quite six hundred yards wide, with a mean depth
of one hundred feet, and a mean velocity of nearly
one and a half mile per hour. Thus a body of
water one and a half miles long, six hundred yards
wide, and one hundred feet thick, is dtiven into
the Gulf of Mexico every hour. A little more than
one hundred miles from the mouth of the Yang-
tse-Eiang (the Son of the Sea) is located the city
of Kiang-Yin. The river here is 1900 yards wide,
has an average depth of ninety-nine feet, and a
mean velocity of two miles per hour. Thus we
have, he remarks, a body of water two miles long,
nineteen hundred yards;wide, and,ninety nine feet
thick hourly urged into the Yellow Sea. Com-
pare this volume with the first, and it will be found
( to be almost double. Were the length of the
great Chinese water course only known the com-
parison might be completed; but that cannot be
until the interior of China is open to the world.
Its estimated length is three thousand three hun-
dred miles.
Lieat Habersham estimates that the waters of
the Yang-tes-Kiang carry along in suspension the
remarkable quantity of about thirty three and a
third per cent, of sedimentary matter. Accordiug
to this estimate, 1,986,336 cubic feet of mud i-
hourly transported to the sea by this river. It
seems quite incredible, but as the earthly matter
discharged by the Yangtse-Kiang colors the waters
at its mouth, giving to them the name of the
Yellow Sea, beside forming Immense flats, the
amount must be very large.
^fcpauljsia From the use or Tobacco.—A small
locaTTtem published in the Tribune some weeks
since concerning a slight stroke of paralysis, exper
ienced by a public officer in this city, which was
attributed by his physicians to the use of tobacco
uone up in tin foil, has attracted attention from
abroad, and another very similar case is reported
in Cincinnati. A correspondent of ours, in the next
issue after the publication of the item, strenuously
insisted that tin foil could have no possible ill-effect
of the character ascribed to it, which is to a certain
gxtent correct. Our own explanation of the matter
Is this. Tobacco put up in paper becomes dry,
which means that the moisture in it evaporates
through the pores of the paper, and in doing so,
take off a portion of the oil in the tobacco. The
1 very object of the foil is to prevent this evaporation
; and keep the tobacco moist, which condenses the
oil and makes the tobacco stronger. Any person
smoking a cigar out doors upon a wet day, has
observed that it is stronger thanton other occasions,
sad has an acrid biting upon the mouth. This is
' caused by the'dampness condensing the oil of the
{tobacco. The pure oil of tobacco is an instantan-
eously fatal poison. Hence we conclud that to-
bacco done up in tin foil is moister and consequently
stronger, and persons using it to excess are very
liable to experience paralysis, which is not an
uncommon effect of its ase. If we are correct in
this theory, and we at present see no defect in it,
¡t nay suggest the importance of discontinuing
tin-foil as a wrapping for tobacco on sale.—Detriot
"¡Hbvne.
Railway Curtes asd Guages—The guage, or
the distance between the rails, on which depends
the distance between the wheels of the carriage and
engines, and to certain extent their structure, has
recently been a subject of much discussion. I*
is contended by some that all railways construc-
ted in the same country ought to have the same
guage tbat,tbough it m not contended that the guage
now in use is the best that could possibly have been
adopted, yet that, extensive lines have been con
structed wUh the guage, more disadvantage will
attend any departure from it than could be bal-
anced by any advantage that could attend any
other magnitude of guage. With a view also to
insure the public safety, It has been asserted that
no cuive should be allowed upon a main land with
a less radius than one mile; the exceptions allow-
ed being where one railway passes into another
and at the termini, aor the entrance of depots or
stations; in such situations the train must slacken
their Bpeed, and therefore a sharp curve is attended
with leBs danger. In a course ot experiments, how
ever, made by Or. Lardner, it has been established
that carves of a mile radius produced no sensible in-
crease of resistance at the usual speed of railway
trains.

Huma* Tixtbraicbi with thx Tkoficj.—Dr.
\ Davy has communicated to the Royal Society the
i resulta of his observation on the temperature of
I nan during a period ot three years and a half, chiefly
at Barbadoes, where the mean annual temperature
of the atmosphere, he states, is eighty degrees,
1 Fahrenheit, and the range of temperature throog-
Mt the year from eight to ten degrees in the open
^tlr. The observations were made three times a
mlay, the temperature of the body being noted,
w<rith that of the external air, the pulse and the cum-
water of reepirations per minute: all of which are
Foiuly set forth in elaborate tables. Dr. D. finds
Urnat the average temperature of man within the
Salpica >■ * "ttJe higher, nearly one degree, than
for"a temperate elimate, such as England; that, with-
the tropica, aa in cooler regions, the temperature
¡"¿j the body la almost constantly fluctuating ;
Han#* the order of fluctuating ia different from that
apatí a oooler climate, the minimum degree being
rly in the morning, after a night's rest, andpiot
~l night; that all exertion, whether of body or
¿xl, except it be very gentle, has a heightening

ta, tends to raise the temperature unduly,par-
tarly ul'dwwáre exercise, and that close, 111*
P rooms, «specially when crowded, have
mansar the same tendency.
Asthma.—The Repertoire de Pharmacie gives
the following simple remedy for the asthma: Take
a strongly saturated solution of nitrate of potassa
dip tinder into it, and then allow it to dry. Fro
ture a wide-mouth vial, the cork of which has an
aperture in the centre, so as to admit any hollow
tube whatever—a pipe closed at the end, for ex-
ample. Light the piece of tinder and place it in
the vial. Then cause the patient to inhale the
gases that are disengaged, either through the
mouth or nostrils. At the end of a few respira-
tions he will find relief, which will augment. In
regard to an explanation of this mode of treament,
it is supposed that a small portion of oxygen, dis
sengaged by the combustion of the nitrate of pot-
tassa, is inhaled by the patient. It is known that
in asthmatic patients the sanguinous circulation is
incomplete in the lungs, that the blood is imper-
fectly regenerated, that it is black, and does not
burn its excess of carbon. By the oxygen ab<
sorbed, therefore, combustion may be facilitated.
The Free Nigbo Nuisance.—We see it stated
that there are two agents or commisssoners of the
Emperor of Haytti now traveling in this country In
order to induce the free negro population of our
country to emigrate to that island, and a'.so to
urge upon the merchants of New Tork and Boston
the advantages which American commerce would
derive from a line of packets between Port au
Prince, and thoEe cities. With the first named
object we symptbiza most heartily. We hope,
most earnestly that they will be eminently cuccess-
ful in relieving this conntry of that degraded por-
tion of our population. The free negroes are an
insufferable and an abominable nuisance whereever
they are allowed to exist. Several States have
abated the whole Kangaroo tribe, and we hope
others will follow their examaple, Pennsylvania
among the rest more especially. We hope to see
the time when there will be no negroes in this
country but such a i have legal and constitutional
guardians to restrain their insufferable arrogance
and unblushing impudence. We go for the emi
gration system, and we are ready to contribute our
mite to the furtherance of the desired object.

Military Inefficiency of the Chinese.—It is
said that the Chinese are ignorant of the method
of leveling artillery- Consequently their guns,
levelled at one elevation or pointed in one direc-
tion, are "fixed facts," and quite harmless to all
who do not chose to put themselves within their
range. Their ignorance of gunnery is their weak
point in militaryjaystem, which enables the "out-
side barbarians,"toconquer them in battle so readi-
ly. Having no military science or modern milita-
ry arms they are doomed.
Time of Day.—When it is 12 o'clock at noon in
Valentia, it is nearly 9 a. m. at St. John's, Newfound'
land ; 10 minutes past 8 at Halifax, Nova Scotia ;
26 minutes past 7 at New York ; 22 minutes past 7
at Philadelphia; 15 minutes past 7 at Washington ;
23 miuute3 past 6 at New Orleans, and 12 minutes
past 4 at San Francisco. In other words, an event
which hapens at Valentía at n on might be reported
in Philadelphia 4 hours and 38 minutes be/ore noon.
A Bird Anecdote.—Au English paper relates
that a pair of crows recently built a nest 011 a tree
near a rookery. This seemed to give offense to
the feathered inhabitants of the rookery, who re-
venged themselves by occasionly stealing mate
rials from their nest. The persecuted birds, how-
ever, presevered and completed theie nest; but af-
ter a council of war in the rookery,a flying brigade
attacked the nest and quickly tore it in pieces, not'
withstanding a determined resistance by its in-
mates.
Cure of Black Tonque.—A Virginia paper says
that the disease known as the Black Tongue,
which often proves fatal to cattle in a few hours,
has been cured, or prevented, by tarring the ani-
mals' noses, and giving a mixtnre of equal parts of
salt and lime for them to lick. The remedy is
only for the bovine race. There is another kind of
"black-tongue" disease in Virginia that no amount
of whitewashing will cure. It will take something
stronger than salt and lime.
A tippler who had a heavy load on, "fetched
ap" against the side of a house which had been new-

"Well—hie!—that is a confounded careless trick
in whoaver painted that house, to leave it standing

At Cincinnati on a license suit, one of the wit-

To Fatten Fowls.—The best feed for fattening
fowls is potatos mixed with meal. Boil them and
mash them fine while they are hot, and mix the
meal with them just before they are presented. They
fatten on this d;et in one half the time ordinarily re-
quired to bring them to the same degree of excell-
ence on corn, or meal Itself.

THE GREAT BEAUTIFIER
So Long unsuccessfully Sought)
FOUND AT LAST!
FOR IT RESTORES PERMANENTLY GRAY HAIR
to its original color; covers luxuriantly the bald
head; removes all dandruff, itching and all scrofula,
scald head and all eruptions; makes the hair soft,
healthy and glossy, and will preserve it to any imagin-
able age, removes, as if by magic, all blotches, etc.,
from the face, and cures all neuralgia and nervous head
ache. See circular and the following:
Dover, N. H., Feb. 2d, 1857.
PROF. O. J. WOOD k CO Get ts: Within a few
days we have received so many orders and calls for
Prof. O. J. Wood's Hair Restorative, that to-day we
were compelled to send to Boston for a quantity, (the 6
dozen you forwarded all being sold,) while we might
order a quantity from you. Every bottle we havt so d
seems to have produced three or four new customers and the
approbation, and patronage it receives from the most
substantial and worthy citizens of our vicinity, fully
convince us that it is A MOST "VALUABLE PREPA-
RATION.
Send us as soon as may be one gross of $1 size, and
one dozen $2 size, and believe ua yours very respect-
fully. [Signed] DANIEL LATHORP & CO.
Hickory Grove, St. Charles Co., Mo., Nov. 19, 1856.
PROF. O. J. WOOD—Dear Sir: Some time last sum-
mer we were induced to use some of your Hair Resto-
rative, and its effects were so wonderful, we feel it our
duty to you and the afflicted, to report it.
Our little son's head for some time had been perfectly
covered with sores, and some called it scald head. The
hair almost entirely came off in consequence, when a
friend, seeing his sufferings, advised us to use your Re-
storative. We did so with little hope of success, but, to
our surprise, and that of all our friends, a very fewap-
plications removed the disease entirely, and a new and
luxuriant crop of hair soon started out, and we can
now say that our boy has as healthy a scalp, and as lux-
uriant a crop of hair as any other child We can, there-
fore, and do hereby recommend your Restorative, as a
perfect remedy for all diseases of the scalp and hair.
We are, yours respectfully,
GEORGE W. HIGGINBOTHAM,
SARAH A. HIGGINBOTHAM.
Garuinkr, Mains, June 22,1655.
PROF. O. J. WOOD-*#ear Sir: I have used twobot-
iles of Professor Wood's Hair Restorative, and can
truly say it is the greatest discovery of the age for res-
toring and changing the Hair. Before using it I was a
man of seventy. My Hair has now attained Us origin-
al color. You can recommend it to the world without
the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind.
Yours Respectfully,
