LIGHTNING ANI) MANURE. It has been discovered in England that electricity, real lightning, conducted by wires to the earth, greatly promotes vege- tation, and hence many persons are enrich- ing their grounds by this new stimulant. We hope good will come of it. This gen- eration is certainly fulfilling its destiny. It is becoming the " utilitarian age" with a vengeance, which brings down from the clouds the lightning of heaven, (eripit ful- men, ) to manure the corn field, substituting Jove's dread lightnings for stable manure, The guano trade will be broken up entire- ly, and a tempestuous season, with vivid lightning, will be worth forty muck heaps and stable yards. And yet it is probaly true that lightning, can be made to promote vegetation; that it can be conducted to the required spot, and made subservient to the desired object-and ifso, man has another cause of gratitude to the Giver; for he may now lay his hand upon the main of the light- ning, and render it not inerely innoxious, but directly and visibly useful. Let him, in the use of the element, not forget Him " Whose hand the lightning forms, Who heaves old rocean, and who wings the storms."
EXAMPLES, FOR YOUNG MEN. It is fair to suppose that no readers of newspapers have been unacquainted with the remarkable name of " Preserved Fish." For years, he has figured in New York City. Mr. Fish commenced life as an ap- prentice, to a blacksmith, and his next situation was that of a seaman on board a whaling ship. From being a hand before the mast. he rose to be a mate, and finally commander, and in this hazardous pursuit he amassed the foundation of his fortune. Saul Alley was bound, when a small boy apprentice to a coachmaker. During his apprenticeship his father died, and left him totally dependant on his own exertions. The very clothes he wore he was obliged to earn by toiling extra hours, atter the regular time of leaving off work had passed The foundation of his fortune he acquired by the exercise of frugality and prudence while a journeyman mechanic. Cornelius W. Lawrence, late Mayor of New York, and now President of the Bank of the State of New York, was a farmer's boy, and and worked many a long day in rain and sunshine on Long Island. There were but few lads within twenty miles of hun that could mow a wider swarth or turn a neater furrow. These men have been the archi- tects of the ir own fortunes, they have earn- ed them by the sweat of their brows: and their very wealth, besides the other means of doing good to their fellow men which it puts in their power is, in itself, a perpetual stimulus to the mechanic and artisan to earn a similar reward by similar frugality, industry, and perseverance. Boys, go a- head, and you will, like these men, be proudly rewarded.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
For the Eagle. TO THE HISTORIAN.
Stern chronicler of vanished time, Tracing upon the blackening page, Tale after tale of guilt and crime, Successively from age to age. Hast thou no thought, while o'er the leaf, Glides bold and free, thy fateful pen, On all the pain and bitter grief, Thy subject has entailed on men?
Weighest thou the misery-the tears, Each glorious victory has cast,- The poverty of after years -
The countless lives of promise lost? -Heav'st thou one sigh o'er cottage hearth, Left lonely, shelterless and bare, O'er Famine's cruel, hopeless dearth, Bending proud might to dull despair?
Hast thou one passive, faint regret, When, chronicling some enterprize, Where valour against valour set, Thy nation conquered, that the eyes Of sorrowing thousands, aching, dim, Long, long ago, were doomed to read, With thrilling doubts, the chapter grim, And find their fears confirmed indeed?
Amid the glittering tinsel show, That gilds the warrior's ghastly art, Amid poetic pomp and glow, A false disguising to impart. Thou knowest right well, lie dark and dread, A numerous host of horrid shades, That all the brilliance overspread, Before which splendour pales and fades.
Oh, thankless task, though self-imposed Is thine, to draw the veil away, And seize the evils thus disclosed, And spread them in the light of day. Yet from the annalls of the past, Dealt with aright, thou mayest unfold, (Such ample stores are there amassed, ) Lessons of value, vast, untold, SELMA.

"Neither should I be willing to abandon going to church, but if our means are cut short, our expenses must be also; I can see no alternative unless our ministers consent to live in a less expensive manner, and thereby diminish our pew-tax," murmured Susan, as she sat with her eyes fixed upon the fire.
