A Wairmi*g t o T o m e W<
Bays to O a a
Not long »go a man named; Mercer gathered np several hundred girls in New England and shipped them to
• o n e port on the Pacific coast They were all promised
good wages and h a p p j homes. The vessel in which they
aailed, is j e t at sea. One of the San Francisco papers,
noder the caption of"Something to be stopped/' says :
W e see, with no little surprise and indignation, that
one Mercer had actually sot together a thousand or more
daughters of martyred soldier* »nd others, and has starte d for this coast with them, i t h t y Bre told that homes
and loving husbands await thom on their arrival The
whole project is a delusion, the offspring of the brain of
* fanatical fool, or something a thousand times worse.—
That there are many young men in the Pacific States
who are unmarried is undoubtedly true ; and, cm the
other hand, it is doubtless true that there are thousands
here who never would marry if they had the opportunity,
and other thousands who never ought to marry at all.—
From the very nature of the country, the pursuits of the
population, and the unstable, unsettled condition of things
in the mining regions, the larger number of men do not
many and become possessed of permanent homes and
the influx of a thousand or two of unprotected females
would add nothing to the morality of the country, while
the poor girls themselves would be exposed, to perils
which DO loving parent or brother would be williog to
have them meet
" If these girls are the daughters of Union soldiers,
they deserve better of their country and the states of
their birth, than to be thus transported for life, like so
many convicts to Australia ; it is a cheap way of getting
rid of them, no doubt, but it reflects no credit on the
-state or 6tatcs guilty of thus transporting them. The
chances of a well educated, refined and intelligent female
marrying well in the Pacific states to-day are not greater
than "in the Atloptic states, while the perils to which they
are inevitably exposed are ten times greater. It iB
known to our police that the houses of ill-fame in San
Francisco are systematically suppl '
with young girls gathered into di
ular procure&cos whose business
any given number, and forward t
stock or other goods and chatties
signment. A case fully warrant
before the police court last wetyoung girls being told by the Jui
had signed in Boston—virtually '
sons or mortgages to the Pike 8'
the money for their passage herelaw, and they were at liberty to
the disappointed tigress coolly r
shall have a full supply soon bro
charge, and we shall not need to
expense 1" I make no charge
against Mr. Mercer, who may be
pic individual above ground ; bn
the press of the country east of
sjfcak out and put a stop to this b
unprotected females be exposed

A Chapter on T
From the New York Observer.
After an experience of more t'
management of various kinds of ,t
ity, by felling it at different senqo
time appears to be in the winteq i
cut A d split oat of good timber i
or February, will outlast those ip
of the year. And the same is tru
and boards, and all other timbei
sawed immediately after the tr
ber for building, or for tools ni
ed, or split out now, and piled
the pieces, so that the seasoniwjproce
^
at oncc, it will be much more durable than if the trees
are felled in the spring, or summer months.
When the trees for son:e kinds of building limber are
cat down in any of the spring, or summer months, insects
will, almost always, bore into them, eveu after being secured in their appropriate places in a frame. W c have
seen sugar maple and bench posts nnd beams in frames
of buildings literally filled .with insects, several years after the building was ereeted-raod the entire timber was
one mass of what is colloquially termed " powder post"
If timber is felled and dressed oot in late autum, or winter, such insects will seldom enter it.
There is a plausible as well as a philosophical reason
why some kinds of timber will, bo injured by insects,
when cut down at one season of the year, and not at another. In late autumn, and winter, there is but little
sap in timber. The circle of new wood that was formed
daring the growing season, has become hard. If cut
down and sawed, or split in piece*, the seasoning process
will be gradual. The entire rail, stake or board, will
shrink uniformly, through and through, thus closing more
effectually the large pores of the wood. The sap that
now exists in the standing timber, is exceedingly thin,
and will nearly all evaporate. On the contrary, if sugar
maple, beech and other kinds of timber are cut, when
the buds arc swelling, or after the leaves are expanded,^
there is a large quantity of carbonaceous or nitrogenous
matter in the sap, which will become dry in the pores of
the timber ; ana insects bore through and through the
wood, feeding upon the sugar and gum which is left after
the sap has evaporated.
In those sections of country where sugar maple and
beech are used for building, let the large trees be sawed
into lumber as soon as practicable. If saw logs arc cut
and hauled to the mill during the fore part of winter, in
many instances the lumber raxiy be drawn home on
jfeigbs.
l i m b e r for posts, beams and Bills, should be hewed
out at ooce and placed on other sticks, that the grain
and fibres may settle together gradually, not only on the
-oulsjde, but in the middle of the sticks. Duripg mild
-weather, scoring and hewing of timber may be ^attended
to in winter, as well as spring and summer, when field
labors are argent
Thousands of farmers who have acres of basswood timber, could obtain their own lumber for building an elegant house, at one-third of the expense which is usually
required to procure pine. Basswood is just as good as
pine, or white wood, for parlor and chamber floor*, for
jamb casiogs, or doore and for windows, where rain cannot reach the wood. For stiles, bars and pannels of
doors, and for base) ceiling, wainscoating, and all kinds
of inside work, basswood is equal to good pine, and
sometimes greatly superior to it. |!
W e have built two houses for our- own occupancy

can be designated bv the yellowish color of the paint,
the gum of the pine having strock through every coat of
white paint, while that on the basswood and butternut ia
to-day as white as the unsullied snow.
Some persons, object to using basswood, because " it
will shrink and swell far more than other wood." Wheo
it is not covered with paint, this affirmation is true—
But, when casings, door stiles and panels are covered
with a good coat of paint, basswood will not be affected
by damp and dry weather, any more than white wood and
pine.
Carriage makers employ thin basswood for pannels in
making swelled bodies for cutters, pleasure sleighs and
elegant wheeled vehicles, because •' such timber is better to paint on " than pine.

Who have with ounelves Men the great change which haa
come over our wilderness in the few year* past ; and who
have, we trust, appreciated our endeavors to cater to their
wants, tastes and requirements for the past five years ; we
come with thanks for the past, and hope for the future.
Once more we have made our semi-annnhl visit to the

Ar.TirciAi. WAKTH.—Bulwer says that poverty is only
an idea, in nine eases out of ten. Some men with ten
thousand dollars a year suffer more for want of means
than others with three hundred. The reason is, the richer man has artificial wants. His income is ten thousand,
and he suffers enough from being dunned for unpaid
debts to kill a sensitive man. A man who earns a dollar
a day, and does not run in debt, is the happier of the
two. Very few people who have never been rich, will
believe this, but it is as true as God's word. There are
thousands and thousands with princely incomes, who
never know a moment's peace, because they live above
their means. There is really more happiness fn the world
among working people than among those who are called

rich.
