possible to believe they were not silver
until taken into the hand, when tljeir
extraordinary lightness at once proved
the contrary. That a metal should
weigh so little seemed almost incredi
hie. • . .
The price of aluminium a short time
since in France was^about the rate of
gold"! Mr. Bumas assured the Acad
emy that, owing to recent discoveries
reducing the expense of ex tract mgYf,
the cost of p- oduction was now about
one hundred times le s; and Mr. Bal-
abd, another member, stated that there
was little dhubt that the effect of com
petition in its manufacture, together
with the advantage of throwing it open
to the industrial resources of the world,
would be to reduce the price as low^as
five francs the kilogramme, or about
forty cents a pound.
This important result is mainly at
tributable .to tne facility with which we
are now able to procure pure sodium
in abundance, v. inch is the activeageut
for tlie revivification of aluminium, and
which was at one time very expensive.
Sodium is obtained by the decomposi
tion of carbonate of soda by charcoal.
Bv the aid of a little lime it has been
found easier to separate it from oxygen.
The conversion of aluminius earth or
clay into chloride of aluminium takes
place so easily that the price ot the
cloride only comes to about ten cents a
pound.
Mr. Dumas observed that the gen
eralization of the procedure of Mr.
Deville, the application of chlorine
to the extraction of metals, forms a new
era in metallurgy.-
Among the many remarkable qual
ities of aluminium, such as its resis
tance to oxydation, either in the air or
by acids, its hardness, its wonderful
lightness, its malleableness, the facility
of moulding it, &c., Mr. Dumab men
tions another, its sonority. An ingot
was suspended by a string, and being
lightly struck emitted 1 he finest tones,
such as arc obtained only by a combi
nation of the best metals.

Right Kind of Preaching.—It
was a beautiful criticism mad^.b>kLpn-
gnius upon the effect of the speaking
of Cicero and Demosthenes. He says
the people would go from one of Cice
ro's orations exclaiming: “What a
beautiful speuki r ! what a rich, flue
voice! what an eleoquent man Ctcero
is!” They talked of Cicero; but
when they left Demosthenes, they said,
“Let us fight Philip l” Losing eight of
the speak>r they were all absorbed in
tne subject; they thought not of De
mosthenes, but of their country. So,
my brethren, iet us endeavor to send
away from our ministrations the Chris
tian, „w'ith his mouth full of the praise

and the sinner, not descanting upon the
beautiful figures and well-turned pe

Never m the history of-this country
have sb many given ap other avoca
tions and take* to Agriculture. Trade
of every kind is precarious. The ’’
merchant, the manufacturer, the me
chanic and the banker have all to con
tend with the peculiar hazards which
grow out of these various kinds of
pursuit. It ia almost inevitable that
they sooner or later fail. Such a word
is scarcely known in the vocabulary of
the farmer. Such a contingency may
befall a single crop, but it is rare to
find it sweeping away the entire pro
ducts of a season.
The business of agriculture has been
improving within the last half-century
Not merely in the kind of crops pro
duced, but in the q antity. Science-
has come in to aid in the selection of
soil aud its adaptation to crops. Chem
istry is aiding the profession of the
farmer to a large extent, while the
introduction of labor-saving appara
tus, both iu sowing grain, in pulver
izing the soil and iu gathering the
crops have nearly revolutioniaea the
business. It has consequently be
come attractive to the man of business,
the professional man, and the one who
has tried, other pursuits, but found
they were inadequate to furnish him
bread. Discouraged in other callingi,
he falls back upon this primitive but
delightful employment, - and acquires
plenty.
There is a moral influence conned
ted with agriculture which perhaps few
people estimate sufficiently high.—
Honest industiy, coupled with a fruit
ful soil, brings forth most gratifying
results. The yield doee not come
from overreaching, craft, usurou*
gains, or the misrepresentations of
trade. The former deals more direct
ly witli Iris maker, than with man.—
Duplicity will not fertilize the soil;
extraordinary sagacity or forecast does
not ripen his crops. He has no occa
sion to prahee any artifices in his bus
iness or exercise any double dealing
about it. His mind has to do with
nature and its beautiful productions.—
Hence the searing process mast be a
hard one that converts the former into
a knave. His productive soil is the
source of national prosperity. The
exchange is influenced by the crops,
anu the markets rise and foil with the
sunshine and the rain. A11 commer
cial operations arc predicated on the
agricultural prosperity of the nation,
and hence the elevated and ennobling
jiosition of the American former.—

Russian Estimate of Lord Rag
lan.—The following extract from a
letter, dated St. Petersburg, published
in Le Nor shows how Lord Raglan
was appreciated by the Russians :
“Lord Raglan,’’ says the letter, “has
died. During the entire period of
the command of this noble general
he succeeded in conciliating the es
teem and respect not only of those
with wh un his nation was allied, but
also of the enemy to whom he
was opposed. He was one of the
last of the heroes of that glorious
English army wilier., .under the com
mand of the Duke of Wellington, il
lustrated the English name on so many
battlefields, and. - of which the few
remaining veterans bore on -their
breasts, till lately, the honorable to
kens. Lord Raglan was on several oc
casions distinguished by the late Em
peror Nicholas, as also by the reigning
Emperor. He will be personally re
gretted in Russia by all who had an
opportunity of knowing and apprecia
ting the nobleness of his sentiments
and the uprightness of his character.
As a subject he performed his duty
by obeying the command of his sov-
•erign, and as a soldier, by valiantly
defending the honor of his flag ; but
even in the execution of his duty he
E reserved unblemished to his death
is own personal dignity and that of
his country. He has fallen,^ like so
many others, a vietom to this disas
trous war. Honored be his memory,
and respected be his grave, which will
be as sacred on the soil of Russia as ou
that of England ; and, while pointing
to it, no Russian will refuse to say—
Sisley viator, heroem calces."

Anecdote of Royalty.—An an
ecdote- is current about the first inter
view between the allies at Windsor.—
When the French party had retired
to their apartment, the Empress Eu
genie remarked that the Queen, mak
ing every allowance for the Guelph
features, was not at all handsome; but
Napoleon replied sternly, “She has
seven children.” At the same time
Prince Albert expressed his admira

The UsefUaeas of Bird*.
It takes mankind a great while to
learn the ways of Providence, and to
understand that things are better con
trived for him than he can con
trive them himself. Of late the peo
ple are beginning to learn that they
have mistaken the character of moat
of the little birds, and have not un
derstood the object of the Almighty ia
creating them. Th^y are looked upon,
as the friends, and very great friemla,
of those who sow and reap. It has-
been seen that they live mostly on in
sects, which are among the worst ene
mies of the agriculturist, and that, if
they take now and then a grain of
wheat, they levy but a small tax for
the immense services rendered. In
this rdtered state of things Legislatures
are passing laws for the protection of
little birds and increasing the penalties
t> be enforced upon the bird-killers.——
An illustration of tho value of some
of the winged tribe ia now before US
in a paragraph from a paper in Bing-
hampton, (New York.) A farmer in
that vicinity wished to borrow a gun
ofa neighbor for the purpose of kill
ing some yellow birds in his field of
wheat eating up the grains. His
neighbor declined to loan the gun, for
he thought the birds usefuL In order
however, to gratify his curiosity, fo?
shot cne of them, opened its craw, and
found ia it two hundred tneevils and
put four grains of wheat; and in these
four grains the weevil had borrowed l
This was a most instructive lesson, and
worth the life of the poor bird, valua
ble as it was. This bird is said to
resemble the canary and to sing finely.
One of our citizens, a careful observer
and owner of many formes, called
our attention to this paragraph, and
wished ua to use it as a text for ser
monizing, for the benefit of the for
mere and others who may look upon
little birds as inimical to their interests
He says he has studied this subject
as a lover of natural history, as well
as a hunter and a former, and he
knows that there is hardly a bird
that flies that is not a friend of the for
mer and the gardener. W# think to*
gentleman is right, and hope J 1 ®
