We will send the Dallas Repcbmcax and Demrbst's Mosthly, which is itself $3 for one year, to any person who pays us$l Demouest's Monthly stands unrivalled as. a Family Magazine. Its choice Literature, its superior Music, its large amount of valuable information on miscellaneous subjects, its prsctieal an 1 reliable information in regard to the fashions, and artistic illustrations, give it a just claim to its wtdl-earneJ title, "The Model r '.nine of America." s-t a Location From the Nc Jersey Mechanic The most careless observer cannot f.stl to notice the new faces he daily encounters. They ure keen, .restless faces, full of iritellii;eneo ai d animation, ami seem-to say, " I atn hunting a locu tion." These young men must enter tain dreams of some modern Utopia, where fkill or enterprise or both com bined, reap rich harvests, and onward they ;o, year after year, in quest of the attractive region. After a time, how ever, most of these men settle dowu and beeoiiie staid and respectable citizens, while other? journey on until they reach the lat uo-il in the round of life the grave. It w&a a migratory movement that settled the new world, and the movement is still going on, impelling people from the Atlantic Coast to the Aileghanies; -from the AHeuhanics to the Mississippi; from the Mississippi to the plains; end from the plains to the Pacific. It affects all classes, rich and poor, and the throng that is continually pouring acro3 the continent is a full picture of our whole American society. 5ut individually considered, this migra tory, movement is generally a poor busiuess, and he who is afflicted with it to an unusual degree had better find a method of curing it. Restless nations will achieve great things in the way of conquest, discovery and adventure; but restless people are apt tj achieve nothing if their restlessness keeps driv ing them from one place to another in search of better fortunes ; nor do they become recognized land marks. It is a natural curiosity that leads a young man to sec the world ; but if the curi osity be indulged, it is apt to become an insurmountable habit. The rrore we see of the world, the more we want to see of it ; the more we travel, the less content we are to stay at home, and set tie down in diligent, patient, persistent efforts that brin wealth, honor, dtsttnc tton, usefulness and influence. It is not the- revolving meteor, but the steady, shining stars, always to be found in their ap: ointed places, that give char ficter .to the fiunanjcnt, and scryo as cure guides to the mariner and way farer; po, it i3 not the restless traveler who travels from place to place to look upon'tho wonders -of- the world, who impress their character upon the world, and leave a mark behind when they die : but the pat ent, plodding workers, who stick to one thing and to one place, until they solve the problem of their lives. ' Young men. cannot learn too early how intimately their success in life is connected with loyalty, and how much their influence depends upon rooting themselves into the soil, and there remaining, until t.ieir genius, whatever it may be, shall yield its fruit. The tree that is often transplanted dwindles and dies without-arriving at maturity, and without leaving a blessing behind it ; it is the tree that has its home in one spot, and that strikes its roots deep and spreads them wide in the pon, ttiat becomes useful and honored. It is a worthier ambition in a young iunu w iuu iruCCS OI ulS JftDOr BDU genius iu soma one spot in the world, thau to wander over the whole world and spend his life in admiring the traces which other men and otherpfople have left behind them. Every .part; of our land has its own special attractions. The Southern States have their mild and beautiful climate and their many incentives to out-door life. But the North and West, if they have a more rigorous climate, have the superior in citements to lon.r sustained exertion which that climate affords. It 'matters little whether one lives in the West or in the South, either affords a good field for successful and useful exertion to one who is content to remain iu one plac and do his Lest. There are wealth and honors to bo gained in the South, and there aro wealth and honors to be gain cl in the West; but they offer them selves as rewards only to the pa tient toiler, who seeks them with Ktead fust resolution. They flee from thoso who pursue them iu aimless wandering, and who go from place to place iu use less search for some favored spot where they can gather gold and riches without labor. Young man, stay where you aro, if you can do reasonably well there. Waste not the years of your youth in wandering over the world iu quest of a better place. Your success in life de pends not so much on the place yon live iu, as it does upon yourself. To Ultimate the Powei of a stream. Almost every man has about him in his daily walk sufficient ar paratus for a tolerably acenrate estimate of the quan tity of water flowing in any stream. A walking stick, a jack knife and a watch, provided the walking stick is jut about three feet long, are all the tools' neces sary for the purpose. Take a section of the sfreim as uui firm in breadth and depth as passible, and measure off upon its bank some definite length, say from one to four hundred feet, according to the rapidity of the water ; set a stake close to the water hi each end of. this section, then throw into the water opposite the upper stake a green twi or limb of a tree, or other object of such specific gravity, as to nearly, but not quite, stufc, and of such size that one portion shall remain at the surface, while another portion nearly touches the bottom, the ol ject being to get the average speed of the water; the resistance caused by the bed and banks of the stream necessi tate some carp iu this part of the experiment. Note accurately the time the object is passing from stake to stake, and re peat this operation several times, and at as many points towards the opposite shore; the sum. of the several time.", divided by the number of points at which the speed was taken, gives the average speed of the water. iNow measure the depth at several equi distant points across the stream ; the sum of these depths, divided by the number of points at which the depths were measured, gives the average depth; the average depth, multiplied by the breadth -of the stream, gives the arei of the cross section ; this area, multi plied by fhc length of the section, gives the cubic contents of the body of water embraced iu the section Thus we have the quantity of its velocity, which arc the elements necessary to -.how the value of a stream for manufacturing purposes, provided it has sufficient fall anywhere to render it available. Allowing sixty-two pounds for each cubic foot of water, and a supply of 1,UUU cubic feet per minute, and a fall of ten fee, we have : 1,000 multiplied by G2, equals 02,000 lbs. ; L2,000 multiplied by 10, equals 020,000 IU. momentum; 020,000 divided bj 33.- U00, equals lp 7 horse power. One 1 fifth at Jeast must be deducted for friction and loss, making in this case about 15 horse power. Exchange: The Largest City jx the Would. Many'assert that London is far supe rior, both iu size and the number of its inhabitants. Hut such is not the case. Jeddo, the capital of Japan, is, without exception1, the largest and most popu lous city in the world. " It contain- the vast number of 1,000,000 dwellings,. and o,OUO,000 human souls. ' Many of the streets are niueteen Japanese scries in lengthtwenty two English miles. The commerce of Japan far exceeds that of any other in the world, and the sea ajong the coast is constantly white with sails of the southern portion;of the empire, where they are laden with rice, tea, sea-coal, tobacco, silk, cotton-and tropical fruits, all of which can find ready market in the north, and jthen, in return, freighted with corn, salt, isin- glass and various other productions t wuivu uuvc a mi.vv mw duiku NESC1T REVERTI." From the Christian Weekly. We heard during the progress of the late dreadful war, that the beautiful chateau of Malmaisou was destroyed in the course of tho bombardments of the forts. We shall soon learn how far the ruin has extended. It would be a mat. ter of sincere regret to lose the many interesting mementoes of Josephine, which the enthusiasm of the Empress Eugenie had preserved there, gathering them from every place. In one room was the harp she used to play upon, an ancient instrument, with the book of music lving beside it, bear ing the old Paris imprint of tho last century. Alas, how silent now aro the fingers that oueo swept over the strings. Then in another room, tho main apart ment, exquisitely furnished, with paint ings in the panels of fresco, and mantels set with jewels, we could sea the very tambour frame, with the canvass still stretched upon it, and the embroidery pattern, half finished, just as Josephine left it when her last sickness came sud denly on. A little stand, arranged with pouches, held the balls of faded worsted from which she chose the colors as she needed them. Overhead we entered the chamber, hung now, as formerly, with crimson and gold, that was reserved for her slumbers; and thero was the bed on which she died. A mall painting upon an easel close by, commemorated and 'depicted tho scene of Napoleon's final ?i-it to the mmsion. It showed him kneeling beside tho couch, his face buried in his hands, while II or tense stood behind him in tears. Perhaps, in the hour of his desolation, the great warrior remembered deeply his folly in putting away from his heart the best and truest friend he ever had. The hundred days" were over, and ho was a fugitive aain. I rem atciloo, he : hurried to Malmatson. Ho spent there his last night iu I ranee. Out iu the grounds among the flow ers, there now stands a little bronze monument with the inscription, " The last step of the emperor." It was plant ed on the frpot where his fWit touched last as he j sprang into the carnage which bore him to these shore. Saint Helena came next, Uut that which used to impress us all, the most, was a simple article in a small room which Napleou-uiado his cabinet and library. That apart meat is decorated in the Pompeii ui style, and is a proof of the delicate taste of Jose phine, who prepared it for a surprise to her husband on his return from Egypt to be the first consul. There was the chair in which he was wont to .sit as he planned the vast campaigns on the con tinent. There are his charts, and maps, and books of reference. Uut on the table near the window stands a purious clock. It marks the hours, the seasons, and tho changes of the moon. The machinery is compli cated, and just over the hands, fr cau tion's sake, I suppose the maker put the Latin direction, Ncscit Iteverti it dors not know how to go backward. Cheerfully, accurately even yet, the little timepiece ticks on just as ever, unconscious that it once marked the minutes of a monarch. It does not know how to j go backwards. Timo is inex orable. And the commonplace warning of the motto is, to each thoughtful stu dent of history, lost in the deeper sag gestion it bears. Josephine lies in her quiet tomb at Itucil close by. Hortcnse is buried in the erypt beneath it. The emperor's body is covered with the conspicuous dome the enemies of his empire have just been trying to shatter. And quite !lt If 1 '.!. ! t .

Decisions made by free-willed , creatures are irrevocable Deliberate wickedness is often punished by Divine Providence with a most simple form of retribution ; it is allowed to have its own way, plunge the man into hopeless ruin, and then force him to see with his own eyes that the past is irrepar able. , 1 M Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the Mrif of truth with faUehood, for tho s good Or evil side: Some great ca'uno, UoJ'b new Messiah, oler- ing each tho (doom or blight, Part the goats upon the left hand and the ; sheep upon the right ; And the choice gooa by for ever 'twixt that darkuesa and that light." Tin: hands. Borne Slgus Warranted Not to Fall, A little work on, "Modern Palmist ry" brings together a largo amount of amusing gossip, though wo cannot say how much you believe of it. The per son who will carefully study the wrin kles, furrows, lines, and hollows of the hand will be able to tell fortuuc aj well as any modern gipsy. If the palm of the hand be long, and the fiugers well proportioned, not soft, but rather hard, it denotes the persou to bo ingenious, changeable, and given to theft and vice. If the baud hollow, solid, and well knit in the joints, it predicts long life, but if over thwarted, then it denotes short life. Observe the finger of jMercury that is the middle finder ; if the end of it exceed the j fiut of tho ring iinger. such a man will rule his own house; and his wife will be pleasing and obe dient to hiui ; but if it be shirt and does not reach the joint, he will have a ahrew, aud she wi 1 be bos.. Hroad nails show the person to be b i-bful, but of a gentle nature. Xt-frow nails denote the per -.on to bo inclined to mischief, and to do injury to !us neighbors.

Hound "nana how a choleric per-oi , yet soon reconciled, honesty, a lover of secret sciences. Fleshy nails denote a person to be mild iu temper, id!e and l isy. Pale arid black nails deno'c a person to be very deceitful to his neighbors, and subject to many discuses. lieu aud marked nam signify a chol eric and marti d nature, given to cruelty and as many little marks as there are specks so many evil desires Profit of Goats. H. W Scott, of Fiank'in Ountv, Ky., writes to the Observer and Reporter (Lexington) a long letter in regard to goat ni-ing in the State. In. the course of it be says : I have a flock of neatly two hundred head of Cashmere or Angora goit., produced by eroding the pure bred Angora bucks with the native or com mon females, now deep enough in the f blood to produce wool long enough to be shorn and manufactured. This Hock has co?t mc almost nothing ; the sales which have been made, and the m -at and skins of the males and' wethers from tbc flock from time to time in the course of its production hiving renin ncratcd all expenses. I have recently received the account of sale of my goats' wool at 85 cents per pound. To produce this wool cost me no more per pound than to produce tho wool of my4 im proved Kentucky" sheep, and yet 37 cents per pound was tho best offer I could get for my sheep's wool in Ken lucky. Both the goat's wool and the sheeps' wool were shorn and handled alike, and one produced 85 cents, and the other 37 cents por pouud." Purity of Ice. Besides the fact that ice is lighter than water, there is another curious thing about it which persons donotknow perhaps, its purity. A lump of ice melted will always bo come purely distilled water- When the early navigators of the Arctic seas, got out of water, they melted fragments nC thosn vast mountains of ice called icebergs, and were astonished to. find it yielded only'.fresh water. They thought they were frozen salt water, not know ing that they were formed on tho land and in some way launched into the sea. Uut if they had been right, the result would have been all the same. The fact isj the water in freezing turns out of it all that is uot water, salt, air, col? nrinff matter, and all impurities. Fro zen salt water makes fresh water ice. If you freeze a basin of indigo water it U1 male a it as nure as that made of i a pure rainwater. When the cold is very sudden these foreign matters have no time to escape, cither by rising or sink ing, and are entangled with the ice, and do not form any part of i,t. ' PR OMJSSWiVA L CA RDS, d U.
