Insect Power.
Dr. Clamers,. in one of his astronomical
discourses, alludes finely to the microscope,
as demonstrating Wisdom in the
lower walks of creation, as conclusively as
the telescope unfolds it ip the wonders of’
the heavens. The laminae of a microsprc
insect proclaim the existence of an all-wise
and omnipotent Creator. The following
extract from the Excelsior, an English
♦journal, gives an insight into some of the
marvels of the insect world :
“The muscular strength of insects is im
mense. We once were surprised by a feat
performed by the common beetle in the
United States. We had put the insect, for
want of auy box at hand, beneath a quart
bottle full of milk upon the table, the hoi
low at the bottom allowing him room to
stand upright. Presently, to our surprise,
the bottle began slowly to move and glide
along the smooth table, propelled by the
muscular power of the imprisoned insect,
and contined for some time to perambulate
the surface, to the astonishment of all who
witnessed it.
The weight of the bottle and its conteriN
eould not have been less than three pounds
and a half; while that of the beetle was
about half an ounce, so that, it readily mov
ed a weight 311 1-2 times exceeding its
own. A better notion than figure can con
vey, will be obtaned of this feat, by sup
posing that a lad of fifteen to be imprison
ed under the great bell off St. Paul’s, which
weighs 12,000 pounds, and to move it to
and fro npon a smooth pavement by push
ing within.
‘Mr. Newport has given other instances
of insects power equally remarkable. Hav
ing once fastened a small kind of Carabus,
to an elegantly formed ground beetle,
weighing t hree and a half grains by a silk
thread, to a piece of paper, he laid a weight
on the latter.
At a distance of ten inches from its load,
the insect was able to drag it, upon an in
clined plane of twenty-five degrees, near
ly eighty five grains; but when placed on
a plane of five degrees, inclination, it drew
alter it one pound and twenty-five grains,
exclusive of the friction to be overcome in
moving its load, as though a man were to
drag up a hill of similar inclination a wag
on weighing two tons and a half, having
first taken the wheels off.
According to the same excellent authori
ty, the stag beetle— Lucanns curvus —has
been known to gnaw a hole an inch in di
ameter through the side of an iron canis
ter in which it was contined, and on which
the marks of its jaws were distinctly visi
ble, as proved Mr. Stephens, who exhibit
ed the canister at one of the meetings of
the Entomological Society.
A Good Editor.
A good editor, (says the Loudon Post,)
a competent newspaper conductor, is like
a general or a poet, born—not made. Ex
ercise and experience give facility, but the
qualification is innate, or it is never mani
fested. On the London daily papers, all
the great historians, novelists, poets, essay
ists, and writers of travels, have been trieci,
and nearly all have failed. We might Say
all, for after a display of brilliancy, brief,
but grand, they died ont literally * Their
resources were exhausted. ‘I can,’ said the
late editors of the Times to Moore, ‘find
any number of men of genius to write tor
me, I it very seldom one of eornmonsense.’
The‘Thunderers, ’ in the Times therefore,
have so far as we know, been men of com
mon sense. Nearly all successful editors
have been men of this discription. Camn
f’- ’v-’e. Bulwer, and D’lsraele, failed.
.rn-rs, Sterling, and Phillips, succeeded
and DeLaneand Lowe, succeeded. A good
editor seldom writes for his paper—hje
reads, judges; selects, dictates, directs,
alters and combines, and to do all this
well, he has but little time for composition.
To write for a mper is one thing, to edit a
paper another.

The Hudson Bay Company.
We find in the National Intelligencer
the following account of ihis retnarkahle
corporation :
“In the year 1370 Charles 11 granted by
royal charter to Prince Rupert and a num
ber of noblemen a trad, of wilderness which
comprehended nearly one-half of the North
American continent, and by the grantees
was organized 4 the Bay Compa
ny, receiving its name from the inland sea
in the north discovered by Hudson. By
the charter the grant was called ‘Rupert:**
band,’ and was bounded on the west by
the Pacific ocean and the Russian posses,
sions, on the north by the Aretie sen. on
the east by the Atlantic, and on the south
by an imaginary line running up the St.
Lawrence and through the Great Lakes to
wards the setting sun. The objects con
templated by the charter were to discover’
a passage t” the South sea and obtain furs,
minerals arid other commodities and so
strongly was it worded that it gave to the
company this large territorial manor in
perpetuity and an exclusive right of trade
forever. V. -. ‘ • v
“Stupendous as the grant of England;
comprehending over three millions of
square miles, its lawfulness has never been
questioned, but it had been recognized by
various official documents and acts of Par
lmment. In 1847, the capital stock of the
eorpovition was €400,000, and the number
of proprietors 230. Its affairs are manag
ed by a governor, deputy governor, and a
committee of seven, and subject to their
direction are a variety of subordinate offi
cers, such as chief factors, chief traders,
and others with judicial powers. The fur
and peltry traffic of the company is regu
lated by what is termed a deed-poll, and
the expenses of the establishment, are all
paid out of the trade. The company have
not, as some suppose, a monopoly of the
importation of furs and peltries in Eng
land, and sales are made by public auction
several times each year at the company’s
premises in London. In 1842, the compa
ny’ had 136 establishments, besides hunt
ing expeditions and shipping, affording
employment to 25 chief factors, 27 chief
tradera, 152 clerks, and about 1200 regu
servants, besides the occasional labor in
boating and other services of a groat num
ber of natives. From the earliest times
the profits of the company have'varied
with the caprices of fashion, some years
yielding fifty per cent, and now and then
nothing at all; but the average profits for
the last few years have amounted to only
abont six per cent.
“According to the testimony of many
travellers, the authority which the compa
ny exercises over the Indian t ribes has Iteen
very advantageous to them. In 1848 the
number of church missionary stations was
six, and of schools there were seventeen,
while the sales of intoxicating liquor is
strictly prohibited throughout all it. 4 b<r

I A Story with a Moral.
■ A gentleman, who had seen the world,
Rne day gave his eldest son a span of
Borses, u chariot, and a basket of eggs.-—-
■Do you, r said he to the boy, “travel up
Hu the high road until you come to the
Hret house in • which there L a married
Houple. If you find that the husband is
Hie master there, give him one of the horses.
Hf, on the contrary, the wife is the ruler,
Prive her an egg. Return at once if you part
a horse, but do not come back so long
As you keep both hursds, and there is an
■egg remaining.”
I Away went the boy full of bis mission,
’ and just beyond the borders of his father’s
estate, 10l a niodeot cottage. He alighted
from the chariot and knocked at the door.
The good wife opened it tor him, and coiir
tesieri. “Is your husband at home ?”
“No;” but she would call him troin the
hay-tield. In he came, wiping bis brows.
The young man told them his errand.— i
‘ Why,” said the wife, bridling and rolling
the corner ot her apron, “I always do as j
John wants me to do; he is my master—- j
ain’t yon, John ?” To which John replied, j
“Yes.” “Then,” said the lay, “I am to i
give you a horse; which will you take?” j
“ I think,” said John, how that bay
gelding seems to be the oneats ’ would sui t
me the best.” “If we have a choice, hus
band,” said the - wife, “ I think the gray
mare will snit ns best.”* “No,” replied I
John, “the bay for me; he is more square ■
in front, and his legs ara better.” “Now,” j
said the wife, “I don’t think so; the gray ,
mare is the better horse; and I shall never j
be contented unloss 1 get that one.” ‘Well,’ i
said John, “if your mind is mt oh it, I’ll j
give up; ‘we’ll take the gray mare.”—

; “Thank you,!’ said'(he. boy; “allow me to
j give you an egg from this basket; it is a
; nice fresh one,* and ymi can boil it hard or *
I soft* as your wife will allow.” The rest
j of the story you may imagine; tin-young

Education vs. Money.
The following anecdote, from the Peo
ple’s Organ, refers undoubtedly to llou.
Jacob Collamer, now of the Ui ited States
Senate, and formerly Postmaster General:
“I reraemlier,” says the late Postmaster
General of the United States, “the first
time I visited Burlington, Vt. as Judge of
the Supreme Court. 1 had left there ma
ny years before a poor boy. At the time
I left there were two families of special
note for standing wealth. Each of them
had a son about my own age. I was very
poor, and these boys were very rich. Du*
ring the long years of bard toil which pass
ed before my return, I had almost forgot
j ten them. They had long ago forgotten
| me.
j Approaching the court house, for the
j first time, in company with several gentle
men of the bench and bar, I noticed in the
court house yard, a large pile of old furni
ture about to be sold at auction. The scenes
of early boyhood with which I was sur
rounded prompted me to ask whose it was.
I was told it belonged to Mr. J. “Mr. J.?
I remembered a family ot that name, very
wealthy; there is a son too; can it be he?”
I was told that it wa9 even so. He was
j the son of one the families already alluded
i to. He had inherited more than I had
i earned, and spent it all; and now his own
I family was redueed to real want, and his
i furniture was that day to be sold for debt,
j 1 went into the court house suddenly, yet
almost glad that I was born pool*. I was
soon absorbed in the business before me.
, One of the first cases called originated in
I alow drunken quarrel between Mr. Fl.and
; Mr. A. Mr. H. thought!, that is a fami
; liar name. Can it be? “In .short, 1 found
that this was the son of the other wealthy
man referred to. I was overwhelmed alike
with astonishment and thanksgiving-—a
! tonishment at the. change in *ur relative
• standing, and .thanksgiving that I was not
I torn To inherit wealth without toil.
Those fathers provide beat for their chil
dren who leave fhetu with the highest edu

How to Subdue a Vicious Horse*
Gn f looking over some old papers the
other’ day ‘dt: came across the following
which, if true, is worth knowing. It seems
that a frmiless effort .was bring made in a
i>l;iek*mifids simp ft* shop, a vicious horse,
whicti resisted all efforts, kicking, aside
everything hut an nnvii. and came near
/ killing himself against that, when by mere
accident, an officer returned from Mexico
was passing, and being made acquainted
’ with the difficulty, applied . complete
. remedy by the following simple process;
He took a cord, about the size of a com
mon bed-cord, put it’ in the mouth of the
horse like a bit. tied it tightly on the top
i of the animal’s head, passing his left ear
j under the string, not painfully tight, but
! tight enough to beep the car down and tho
j cord in its place. This done, be patted
the horse gently on the side of the head,
j and commanded him to follow, and instant
j ly the horse obeyed,, perfectly subdued,
t and as gentle and obedient, as a well train
. ed dog; suffering his feet to be lifted with
I entire .impunity, and acting iu all respects
! like an old stager.
•The.simple string thus tied, bad made
I him at once docile and obedient us any one
j could desire. The gentleman who thus
furnished- this exceedingly simple means
of subduing a very dangerous propensity,
! intimated that it is practised in Mexico j
and South America, in the management of !
! wild horses. Be this as it may, he deserv
j e$ the thanks of all owners of such horses,
i and especially the the thanks of those
j whose business it may bo to shoe or groom
the animals. —Tfte Plow Loo to and Anvil.

• RANDALL & MERCER’S
COTTONSEED DRILL.;
ALL PLANTERS have realized the want of a ;
Machine to drill Cotton Seed with regularity I
and certainty. One that would operate equally well I
on every kind of land, and at the same time be so j
I simple in construction and operation that it could he j
used by negroes without liability of getting out of j
order. A Drill which tre think possesses all these j
qualities, we now offer to the planting community.
After a thorough trial for the last two years .in diffe
rent hands on all kinds of land, we would state some
of the advantages to be derived from their use.
Ist The saving of seed, which will amount to
enough, in planting ono hundred acres, to pay for
the machine.
2d. The saving of labor in planting— one horse
and hand only being required to open the furrow,
drop the seed and cover from seven to nine acres
per day.
3d. The great .saving of labor in chopping out,
the seed being deposited in a line, one after an
other.
4th. The great saving in hoc work, owing to the
fact that any plow hand can, in siding, cover all the
first crop of grass in the drill, however small ihe
I cotton may be, without injuring the stand.
These advantages all far.tiers will appreciate; and
| below we give some certificates, from which the
; public can learn how these Drills are appreciated
j by gentlemen of the first standing lit our section of
| the State—all practical farmers —who have thor
i oughly tested them, and are consequently fully nun

A. Vuson, Esq., with great success 1 consider them
to be of great value. They are a saving of abouloue
third of the labor of cultivation, about two or three
bushels of seed to the acre in planting, and a great
saving of labor in planting, as they open the furrow,
drop and cover the seed with one horse and hand T

1 have used Randall A Mercer's Cotton Planter two
seasons, and consider them of great value to the farm
er I have seed enough each year to pay for the
Planters; then I have at least ue-third the labor of
cultivation, as the cotton is sowed in so narrow a line
that with good plowing there is but little hoe work
needed. There is also a saving of hands and hors.-s in
planting. I should sav they were worth one hundred

them. S, D. McLENDON.

Messrs. Randall <fr J/rc<?n—-Gentlemen: In reply to
yours, I will only say- I have used ihree of your Cotton
Seed Drills, and consider them of great value, from the
fact that in the use of them I saved from two to three
bushels of seed to each acre planted, and at least one
third of the labor of cultivation, not requiring one-half
as much hoe work as the old v.-ny of planting—also,
a considerable saving in the labor of planting. I
never expeot to plant cotton without, them, if I can
get them at any price. I have planted eight acres per
day to each Drill. They are simple, easily managed,
and th'-re is no difficulty about getting a good stand.
Very respectfully yours, W. F. HAMRICK.

Col. J. 11. Watson.--Dear Sir; 1 can recommend
your Cotton Planters (Drill) in the highest terms. 1
have tried them on all my land exeept new ground,
and I think they will do in that. They wili do in a
mountainous country as well as in a level. If I had
not bought. I would travel to your shop, which is 75
miles, and pay nifty dollars a piece for them. It saves
one third of -he work, one hand can plant as much as
two, and one hand can chop ont three acres, while one
hand can chop out one acre after a common plow.

used Randall <t M<-re. r’s Cotton-Seed Drill of your
manufacture, and am so well pleased with them that 1
would recommend all planters who have not tried
them, to give them a fair trial. Where the Drills are
used there is a great deal of labor saved in cultivating
1 a crop, owing to its being so uniform in the drill; the
plowing can be done much better, and w ith greater de
spatch, consequently, the hoc work is lighter, as good
plowing supersedes tin necessity of a great deal of
hard bo-, work. K. BRASWELL.

one horse and one band with these Drills docs the work
of three hands and two horses. Then there is asa ving

LSCOT 1’ A CO., New A r ork, continue to publish
• the following leading British Periodicals, viz
l. THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative.)
2. THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig.)
8. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Churcl.A
4. THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW ( Libera! )
5. BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (To.y.)
The great an-I important events—Religious, Political, and Mili
tary—now agitating the nations of the Old World, give to these
Publications an interest and value they never before possessed.—
They occupy a middle ground between the hastily written n.-vri-
Iteuis, crude speculations, and flying rumors of the newspapers,
and the ponderous Tome of the historian, written long afteatl-r
living interest in the facts he records shall have passed nwwy.
The progress of the war in the East occupies a large space in their
pages. Every movement is closely criticised, whether cv'friend oi
toe, and all short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Crimea and from the Baltic, in Blackwood’s Magazine, from
two of its most popular contributors, give a more intelligible and
reliable account of the great belligerents thaii can elsewhere be
found.
These Periodicals ably represent, the three great political parties
of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,—but politics forms
only one feature of their character. As Organs of the most pro
found writers on Science, Literature, Morality, and Religion, they
stand, as they have ever stood, unrivalled in the world of letters,
being considered indispensable to the scholar and tne professional
man, while to the Intelligent reader of every class, they furnish a
more correct and satisfactory record of the current literature of
the day, throughout the world, than can be nosaibly obtained from
any other source.

01*1\I<K\S OF THF PRESS.
i The new Music Book, the Casket. —lt seems to have
become already the general favorite here; and there ia
little doubt that its popularity will extend when its
excellencies become moro generally known. Its pe
culiar feature is the remarkable adaptation of the mu
) sic to the sentiment and spirit of the hymns to which
! it ie attached. The power of music to express the ten
! der and plaintive, or grand and majestic conceptions
i of the poetry, has been carefully and successfully
j studied by the authors of the Casket, Prof. Robinson.
I’ of Charleston, and Prof. Woodbury, of New York.
We know of no Other collection of music which is al
all comparable to it in this respect, —Charleston Eve.
1 ning Rews.
| It is very desirable that good teste, and correct
adaptation of the music to the sentiment, should pre
vail in this department of public worship. This work
seems admirably suited to bring about that happy
result. Its excellent arrangement in the grouping of
i appropriate tunes under different, heads, is anew sea
! ture, and adds to its value.— Baltimore Trjuc Union.
! It is destined soon to be the favorite of the choirs
| and churches which have a proper regard for this
i branch of public worship. It preserves many of the
! old favorite tunes, ;*nd adds to them very many new
j and brilliant gems. Besides the tunes for the usual
i church services, it contains anthems, chants, sacred
songs, national odes, and a delightful variety for Sun
day Schools and social and revival meetings, which
render it at once comprehensive, tasteful and conve
nient. The reputation of the co-editor has hitherto
been only that of a skilful teacher and chorister.—
Many of his tunes were in circulation, in manuscript,
and were sung and admired by hundreds, who did not
know him aB the author. —Charleston Standard.
It is said to be the finest collection of choice melo
dies from the most eminent American and English com
posers ever presented to the public. It contains se
lections from the works of Handel, Haydn, Mot art,
Beethoven, Rossini, and other celebrated masters. —
Southern Patriot.
J We have been at some ptiins to examine the work,
I and feel that we speak understanding] y, when wc say
j that it is far superior to any bookot the kind which
* ha3 been prepared or published at the south. Indeed
i it is wholly unlike the wretched compilations which
j have hitherto constituted the sum of oursatired tnusi
! cal literature, and it wilt take a place in the ranks of
the scientific productions of the north.— So. Preshy.
Professors Robinson and Woodbury are gentlemen
of the first standing as teachers of music; and the
{southern Baptist Publication Society must have scru
tinized it sufficiently to decide it to be a first rate
work of the kind, before giving it their endorsement.
The gamut is Laid down very plainly, and there i? a
fine variety of tunes, — South Western Baptist.
The Southern Baptist Publication Society have
lately published a Music Book which will meet a great
want among the thousands in our Southern Zion. The
board, in providing it, wmre convinced that if a book
of the highest order of excellence, of this description,
could be widely circulated through all the Southern
’ States, it woulll be a great means of promoting pure
and undefiled religion. It is believed that the “frisk
ot” will be hailed bv thousands ot” all persuasions of
Christians, as the Music Book for the South, nnd second
U> none in the country. The secular and literary
vv‘ notice, are equally disposed to greet this
Work,as a contribution to sacred science and art. —
