L.tnoR Faith. A little Mlow, eiuht yearn old, who m without a relative in tho whole world, was asked by a lady if he did tint have fears as to whether hr would tret tilonjf in life. The child looked up with a prrplexrd inquiriii); eye, as if iitioer-, tain of her nieHiiinff, and troubled with new doubt.

IIu declares, that since that tiiphl he is ' wrapturonsly wretched. As the ' arti cle' was bound in hoops, the reader is left to infer that it was either a frirl or a key of whisky. They nre both calculated to make a wretch ' wrapturous,' Kjf It is said that more persons are killed and injured in London every year, by accidents resulting from tho negligence or misfortune of drivers, than npon the various lines of railway in the kingdom, in consequence of collision, explosion, and the various chances of the iron way. Salt Lake is piobul.ly the snltest body ol water on the globe. Three bar rels of water are said to yield a barrel of suit. The water is of a light green color for about ten or twenty rods, and then a dark blue. No fish cun live in it, no frogs abide in it, and but few birds are seen dipp'ng in it. The N. Y.

' By the aid of this light,' says the Journal, ' the print of the newspapers can be read 2,403 feet distant.'- Nearly half a mile.

Tne ex terieiice of all ncwper office is alike in this that a college-bred editor-apprentice is the hardest to break Into his Imsinru of any man who ever trie it. He Insists on beginning at the end, Instead of the be ginning. He has more thing to unlearn than any other. He always lucks direct oess, is usually full of offensive pedantry, and is commonly above his business. Though be m iy have read the newspajier all his lifn, he has an idea that the sole business of an editor is to write long-wind ed editorials, and these he feels competent to write without any apprenticeship what ever. He don t seem to have an idea of what people really read ncwVpnpers for. Most young gentlemen who gradnato at our literary institutions have the opinion that editing a newspaper I a very simple matter, and one for which they are com petcnt already. They would scorn the thought of learning; the profession by en gaging first in its simplest details, and going through these details for a series of years before they should begin to show themselves as editors at all. They will spend three years iu the study of medicine, or l.iw, or theology, and content with it. yet they nre just as well fitted to practice law or medicine at the end of their college course us they are to edit a Dnwspaper; end generally speukir;, a little better filled, for the college systrm of education was built up aad is perpetuated on the idea that all its graduates are bound for one or the other of these three kinds of business.

Times' estimate of the wheat crop of California for 1860, is 250,000 acres; average yield per acre, 30 bushels: total yield, 7,500,000 bushels. OI this, 3,000,000 bushels are consumed in the State, over 2,000,000 nre exported, G00.000 Hre required for . distillery pur poses, and 400,000 reserved for seed, leav ing n surplus of 1,457,516, of which a con siderable portion is yet to he forwarded. Different estimates ere made by Brokers', Manufacturers' and the Alla's exhibits, but we preler that of the Times, as being prob ably nearest the mark. Since July 1st we have exported about 135,000 bushels bar icy, and 100,000 bushels oats. Ocn . Commkrck. Commercially onr advices from Europe are exceedingly fa vorable. A strong and active market fur cotton, the English manufactures doing a good business, and consequently coining less in competition with our own, with ad vancing prices (or flour, wheat and corn, all give promise of a high degree of pros perity for the agriculture, commerce and manufactures of the United States. No Secession. In recent speech at Flnntsville, Alabama, ex-Senator Clemens, now of Tennessee, scouted the idea of seces sion, exposing its utter Impracticability, and added: "The dream of a Southern Confederacy is the wildest vision that ever troubled the brain of a moonstruck enthu siast a dream interrupted by bloody con flicts with your neighbors, and a vile depen dence on foreign powers." 19 Coal oil has the remarkable and very valuable property of never becoming rancid, All other oils vegetable and animal absorb oxygen and decay; lint all tlw neutral o.U derived from coal are per manent compounds l.ke water, and ; do not experience corruption or change from time or exposure.

The Iowa Advocate of the 1st Nov. brings the melancholy news of a calamity which beftl the family of David Sweariu gen recently from Tuscarawas county, Ohio, while on on his way to bit farm near Fort Dodge. They were overtaken by fire on the prairie, and to suddenly that Mrs. S. and four children were roasted alive in the wagon, and Mr. S. wat terribly burned. The Advocate says: Without other warning than a moment's sensation of heat as felt through the cover of thi wagon in which they were all travel ing in fancied security they were overtaken ly fire on tie prairie. Ilelore any meas ure could he taken for protection, the wagon cover was in flames. In a moment the bedding and other inflammable material in the wagon was on fire, and before Mr. S. could make his way nut nf the wagon through the flainet his clothing was on fire. Unfortunately a ha fell out of the wogon, he was kicked by ou of his horses, and for a time stunned beyond ability to help the others. He revived in time to see his wife fall from the wagon, burned to death, aad to drag from the flames one of his children, already dead. His own clothing was burued entirely from his body, and lie is severely burned especially in the head, face and hands. He it at present sight less, but hopes are entertained of his recov ery, and that his eye-sight is not destroyed. Two of the children were literally burned up in the wagon. Of one, nothing cojld be found but the skull; the other was a charred mass, in which ne trace of humani ty was lelt. One of the horses was bnrned to death in the harness; the other succeeded in free ing himself, hut is badly burned. The dead are Mary Ann, the wile or Mr. Swearingen, aged 30 years: Sarah Jane, Rebecca Ellen, George Dalton, aud Saliri us, his children, aged respectively, eleven, nine, seven, and two years. The calnmitf occurred about seven miles northwest of this place on the Fort Dodge road, iu a small batm, or commencement of a water channel, How to Cook A Hcsdakd. One of our lady readers sends os the following valuable recipe: " The time has arrived in the year, for the preparation of many good things, and I have no doubt hut that the following will prove to be one of the most valuable in the catulogue of recipes. To cook a husband, as Mrs. Glass said of the bear, you must first catch him. Having done so, the mode of cooking him, so as to make a good dish, is ns follows: " Many good husbands are spoiled in the cooking; some women go abont it as if their children were bladders, and blow them up; others are forever gadding around with other men, and, even at home cannot turn round without them at their elbow, keeping their husbands constantly in hot water, while others freeze them by conjugal cool ness; seme smother them in hatred, con tention, and variance, and tome keep them in pickle all their lives. These women al ways serve them up with " tongue" sauce. Now, it cannot bo supposed that a hus band will be tender and good, if managed in this way; but they are, on the contrary, very delicious when managed as follows: Get a large jar, called the jar of faithfulness, (which all good wives keep on hand,) place your husband in it, and set hire near the fire of conjugal love; let the fire be pretty hot; but especially let it bo clear, but above all let the limit be constant. Cover him with affection, kindness, and subjection, garnished with modest, becom ing familiarity and spiced with pleasantry, and if you add kisses and other coufect'on eries, let them be accompanied with a sufficient portion of secrecy, mixed with prudence and moderation. We would advis all good wives to try this recipe, and realize what an admirable dish a husbnn 1 makes when properly cooked." The Modus Operandi or the Presiden tial Election. A contemporary thus briefly explains the proceedings involved In the election nf President and Vice-Presi dent of the United States, to wit. 1. Br Act of Congress of 1845, the electors for President and Vice President of the Uuited State shall be elected in each State on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November every fourth year. 8. By the Act of 1 792 these electors are to meet ou the first Wednesday in Decem ber after, in their respective State to cast their votes. . 3. These votes, when cast, are to be cer tified by the electors, and sealed op, and sent to the President nf the Senate. 4. On the second Wednesday in Febru ary after, tl a-aled certificates of the elec tors are to !e broken open, and the voles connted, and the result declared in the pret ence of Congn-M.

No. 30. The Presidext Elect Expelled kroh his Home Mr. Lincoln msy with perfect propriety reiterate the old adage, " Save me from my friends.'' Ever since his elec tion Springfield has bteu a tort of jwlitical Mecca, and so great bat been the rush that at timet the place hut proved nearly insufficient for tho accommodation of visi tors bent upon thuking hands with " Uncle Abe." Before the election he kept open office ami open house lo all comers, aud never restricted his personal Intercourse with bit fellow-citizens in any manner what ever. All who chose to come were receiv ed with a hrsrty welcome, aud hit room never went a day without teeing from a hundred to a hundred and fifty visitors, all eager to cutvh the faintest whisper, or seize the least wise look of the Republican can didate. Since the election it has been fire time worse; instead of hundreds, Mr. Lin coln has been waited on by thousands, and his correspondence, numbering sufficient letters per day to overcome an ordinary man, has swelled to the dimensions of a small post-office. Members of Congress past, present and future politiciani and people Iriendr and foes some curious some Impertinent of all aget and sexes, have esteemed it their duty to call upoa the President elect. Since then Mr. Lin coln has been obliged to curtail the hours devoted to reception, and finally was oblig ed to leave Springfield altogether. Not many applications for office art made per sonally applicants are too wise for that aud according to his Private Secretary, the only Importunities for office, with a few exceptions, bave coino from Iht Southern Sluttt.' The " War HoRr" auono the Outlaws or Kansas. We have mentioned the dep redations of Montgomery and his gang in Kansas, and the extension of their outrages across the Missouri border. A St. Louis volunteer company has been dispatched to protect the frontier, and Gen. Harney was on his way to Leavenworth, where he will take personal command of a body of troops and push forward to the scene of action. He will have about 350 troops at his com mand, about half of whom are dragoons, and a battery of flying artillery has been ordered out immediately. With these troops he will meet Montgomery and his band, nnd it is likely if hu comes to a fight, he will make short work of the outlaw, A sanguinary war is pretty sore to ensue, for Montgomery is known for his recklessness and daring. Once before, during the Kan sas war, his gang fired upon the United States troops, but if they try that game npon Harney, it is very hkely he will not bare a man ef them alive. . Benton on Secretary Cobb. Mr. R. J. Lackey, late of the Treasury Depart ment, repeats these characteristic remarks made to him npon a certain occasion by the late Col. Denton: " Mr. Lackey, there is Cobb he, the big-bellied one of Georgia, not he the long legged one of Alabama onco had a little faith in him none now, sir all the good shelled off yes, sir, shelh d off only tobh led, rotten cobb at that, sir.

Earthquakes at tiie East. The Na tional Intelligencer has received the fol lowing note from the Sm'thsoninn Institute: It appears that the eastern portion of this continent is at present in rather an unstable condition. Besides the earthquake noticed in the newspapers as having been to ex tensively felt in Canada and New England on the morning of the 17th of October, a light shock was also perceived by a number of prrsoi.s in this city oo the evening of the 19th. We learn also by a letter that one was observed in Monroe county. N. Y., boat 7 r. M. on tho 26th, and the paper mention the same as having been noticed in Canada, and a gentleman informs us that he felt what he supposed to be a slight earthquake motion in this city between five and tit o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Commercial Prosperity. A New York correspondent supplies the following statis tics: Imports of dry goods and merchsn dise for the year thus far amount to 1198, 000,000, while in 1859 for the same period they amounted to $202,300,000; aud the exports, aiuce Jan. 1st, were $78,000,000, while in 1859 they were 65,000,000. The export of specie this year has only been $43,000,000 and last year, fnr the tame period, over $64,000,000.

Approved Oct. 19, 18G0. ttf We hare not seen anything for a long time which more uptly lays open in a few words, a matter somewhat mooted just now, than tho following paragraph from the New York Tribune. It just bits the case exactly: " Some- of the fusion jour nals, which havo been trying for thne months to conviuco the South that as soon ns Lincoln is Inaugurated ho will cross Mason nnd Dixon's lino with fire and sword and libera to all the slaves, are now beseech ing him to come out with an address and assure tho South that they have been lying. It docs not appear, however, that ha con siders it nccessnry so do anything so super fluous." A Case or Frauo. Tho false return made by an Inspector of election in one of the districts in Philadelphia, by which But ler, Republican candidate for Congrrps, figured op a majority at the expense of Lehman, Donglusite, has been set aside by the court, and the man Byerly, n SIiivh Code Democrat, who, impelled by hutred of the Douglas men, perpetrated the fraud, has liecn fined $300 and sentouced to two years imprisonment. This is a wliolesomo example, and wherever partisans nre caught in like tricks we trust it may be imituUd. t6r A Washington letter writer snys: " Douglas, whose Chicago speculation are snpposed to hve made liim enormously wealthy, is emberret-ed beyond redemption. Breckinridge, whose large investments in the West conveyed the idea of riches, was impoverished by the failure of the Ohio Trust Company, in which ho was a heavy stockholder, and now, though the candi date of the slave inttrett, ownt neither farm nor tlave."
