That the subject one of "vast though unheeded importan ' will appear from the following statis a: The annual drain which is exhaustin our forests is sttutling, whet" we remember the vast areas of.ourcountry utterly destitute of titber-n"hen we learn, for instance, that upon the 55,00) square miles of Illinois there grows not a single pine tree large enough fromo which to fashion a' board. Sta tistius show that in 1806. about 5,000,000, 1100 feet of lumber, 2,000,000,000 of shingles and 900,000.000 picee.4 of laths Wor-s sold in Chicago alone. Mchtigan and Wisconsin almost entirely surply . titat market. Six ihousand tet of pino lumber per acre Is an average yield. No formal calculati.n is necessary to sltow that, with the present demand, a single generation will exhaust the supply those 8tates can atford. hint the consumption increases in a rapid ratio. It has alrestdy raised the prices. Clear lumber sold for$8 Bper thouisand in 16, for $24 tier thoutad in 186.

The ro of Westininister Hall is more than 450 pears 61d. In Sterling Castle, Scotland are eariings in oak over 800 years old, well preserved-. Scotch fir hrei been found in good condition after a kaown use of 300 yeatrs, and the trusses of the ronf of the Bit. silica of St. laul Rome, were sound and good after 1,000 years of service. Wood con stantly wet in fresh water is quite as dura ble. Piles were dug from the foundations of Old Savoy Palace, London, in a perfectly sonnd state, after having been down 650 years. t'Ie piles of Old London Bridge were found sound antl perfect 800 years after they were driven. iit our timber, that at one time appeared'to'M inexhaustible, is be. coming scarce atl mi'e costly, not gnly because of its careless consumption, but by waste also and the destf'otion of insects. We do not yet feel the fRl effects of this, but the next generation 1ill, and. it is no less a duty than a matter of economy to give a wide publicity to the fabt that. the duration or wear of timber can be dhdbled; trebled, or even quadrupled, by ad'opting the proper means.-Philadelphia Ledgrr.

A BeautifI Sxtrftt, It is a long time since we have read any thing so beautiful in the English language as the following paragraphs. They are from an address, delivered before a conven tion of the press of Mississippi, by Col, Manlor, editor of the Vicksburg Tinies. Of all fih' tribotes to the South and ler lost cduse Which' have been published, we have soon nothing to ozceed this in its touching swnetness: "Southern nationality is a dream of the past. A gulf, beyond which we could not pass, yawned between us and the ren'iza tion of our hopes; and though bright tll*ers bloomed upon its brink. and wafte I us sweet perfume, we could not cross to gather them. "The Southern cross no longer gleams out. amid the wild light of battle; the sword of the vanquished is sheathed, a11l tle laud is glootnyawith the harmless sepulchres of our martyred dead. But when years upon years slanu have passed away-when time last of the present generation sleep with their fathers, and new forms throng the< old familiar places-when faclion shall have hushed and justice hold the scales--then. as bright as day and as free from blemish and stain, will stand forth in bright relitf ipon the- scroll of historic fame, the record or the South, dearer to the barfs of her children now In the hour of sorrow, tlirn when on the march to victory, she won the ndtnira tion of the- World.
