Fourth of July, 1855. Squosh. The Prairies on Fires. The following is an extract from an interesting letter of the'editor of the St. Louis Advocate, written while on a "journey of pleasure." Did you ever see a prairie on fire ? - Perhaps you have, but many ol our readers never did. It is a grand, a sublime, and to us it was, on Saturday last, a terrible sight. We were in the ' midst of a large prairie covered with grass full six feet high, as thick upon the ground as it could well stand, and much of it dry as tinder. For several miles we had noticed in our front and on our left, thick columns of dark smoke curling' in the distance, and, on reaching the top of the hill, we suddenly beheld the fire some miles ahead, 1 roaring and crashing, shooting up its flames at least twenty feet high, and darling, leaping, and plunging forward, like ten thousand furies bent on the destruction of everything before them! The wind blew a perfect gale, and on the fire came. The roar was more like that of Ocean into tumpest wrought." than anything else I ever heard. . One or two of our company had witnessed such scenes before.' To me it was new, and one of the most sublime I have ever beheld. On our right and left the flames extended for miles upon miles, sweeping over the wide prairie "as with the besom of destruction," nor leaving a stick or a straw behind. Our condition would have been anything else than safe but for the fact that one of tho company was a smoker, and, being a smoker, he happened to have a supply of matches, which now, in place of lighting his pipe, were found very convenient to light the grass of the prairie, and thus meet fire with fire. So while tlte flames were still a mile or so ahead, we drove to one side of the road and fired the grass on the other side. Away sprang the flames before the wind like an uncaged eagle, and the wind favoring us, we easily prevented them crossing the road until a space was burnt into which we drove the horses and carriages, and in safoty stood to witness the terrible scene tlse two fires produced. The smoke and heat were severe, but we escaped unhurt. Others may do as they choose, but I will certainly never venture far into one of these large prairies where the grass is dry, without having the means to fire in self defense. It is the only way by which, under some circumstances, a man can save his life. I have often heard and often read of fire on the' prairies, but certainly had no adequate idea of it until I witnessed it last Saturday. No tongue or pen can describe it as I then saw it. While looking on I was forcibly reminded of an expression Bonaparte is said to have used as a reference to the burning of Moscow : "it appears as a vast sea of fire;" and thought if Longinus had only witnessed that scene he might still have improved his excellent work on sublimity. We have yet to pass some fifiy or sixty iniles of prairie, most , of which was unburnt when we went down. How it is now I cannot say, but I will most certainly carry the matches. Infidelity in Life. "How much is this a yard?" said a lady to an acquaintance of mine, proprietor of a large dry goods store. - "That ma'am, is worth" and he then held it up for inspection "that is selling for three dollars. It is a beautiful piece, ma'am, the best for the price in the city." "It is more than I am willing to give," said the lady; "I will take it at two dollars." The merchant then wenton, in the usual style, asserting that it was less than cost, but it being her; she might have it. After the lady had gone, Paid I, "Why did you sell that without a profit?" "Why did I? You--don't think me so much of a fool as that? I never dispose of goods without a profit."

"But you told the lady so," said I. "Poll ! I tell the same to twenty every day. I made fifty per cent, on that very cloth." He then went to attend to another customer, and I thought to myself, "Here is a man reckoned honorable as a business man, in good standing, as a member of church, esteemed a benevolent, liberal christian, absolutely lying, according to his own admission, at least twenty times a day, merely to make a good bargain and gain a few pence. Why is he called honorable? Because he will not forfeit his word when overreached by a 'cuter man?' because he pays all his debts when due, to keep up his credit? Yes. These are sufficient in the business world. Why is he esteemed a christian? Merely because he owns a pew, is a communicant, and gives liberally to benevolent societies. Judging from the acts of such, and acts are the most correct interpreters of a person's thoughts, what claims have they to such titles as christians and honorable men? It is not by those acts expected to come before the discriminating, criticising public, that men are to be known, but by those little every day transactions, where there are supposed to be no observances. When

the eye of community is not upon men, is the moment to judge ot their honesty. Ask a trades man why he persists in such a course, and he will readily nnswer "We must do so if we would live." Has mankind so degenerated that a man of integrity must starve? Are all knaves, that we must deal in falsehoods or die? No, God foibid! It is a libel on the human race to say we cannot prosper and be honest. Let mc ask those who answer, "We must be dishonest," how many have ever thoroughly tried the opposite course? Now. conscience and integrity have become to right, art, and success. Each exerts himself to the extent of his sagacity, if not to get the better of a bargain, at least not to get cheated. We need a host of ministers, yes, home missionaries, to preach against this growing faithlessness, this infidelity, not theoretical, but practical infidelity this beggary of faith to each other. Wuverly Magazine. Casting the Horse for the Washington Monument. The London Builder gives the following account of the bronze horse at Munich Bavaria for the Washington Monument. "Fifteen tuns of bronze had to be melted and kept in a state of fluidity: For several days and nights previously a large fire was kept at these huge masses, which required to be stirred at times. When the bronze was liquified, an intimate assay was made in a small trial cast, and to heighten the color some more copper was added. Successively all the chambers through which the metal had to flow in the form were cleared of the coal with which they had been kept warm, and the master examined ail the air spiracles and the issues of the metal; the props, ol the tubes were then placed, and every man had his duty and place assigned to him. Finally, the master, amid the intense expectation of the many art amateurs present, pronounced the words, "In the name of God," and then three mighty strokes opened the fiery gulf, out of which the glowing metal flowed in a circuit to the large form, lhe sight was magnificent, and in the litile sea of fire stood the master, and gave his commands about the successive opening of the props. Hot vapor poured from the air spiracles; in the conduits the metal boiled in waves; still, no decision yet, as the influx of the bronze in the very veins of the figure could be but slow. At once flaming showers jumped out of the air con duits, and the master proclaimed the cast to have succeeded. A loud cheer followed, when the master approached Mr. Crawford, the artist of the Washington Monument, to congratulate him upon his success. Another cheer was given to M. de Miller, the chief of the royal foundry at Munich, who had personally conducted the work." Oxen versus Horses. An enthusiastic admir er of oxen, in pleading their claims in the Stock Kegister, says : - Oxen are much better in many respects for working than horses ; some of which advantages may be summed up as follows. They cost much less in the first instance, and are therefore, more within the reach of men of moderate means. They are less liable to disease, and if an accident occurs which disables them from labor, they may be converted into food. If a horse should hap pen to break a leg, a bullet might as well be put through ins head at once, tor he is worthless ever after : but if the same accident happens to an ox, he can be converted immediately into beef, provided he is sufficiently in flesh ; or if this is not the case the wound can generally be so far cured as to enable the animal afterwards to fatten. The ox will eat less food and of a coarser kind than the horse, and needs less attention in order to thrive. He will work in localities impossible for the horse, and go forward patiently with labors which would chafe the other into utter intractability. JNo man who has ever witnessed the two kinds of animals at work, around a saw mill yard, for instance, can lau to have Deen struck with this dilference in their character. Hitch a snail of horses to a log which is too heavy for them to start at once, and in nine cases out of ten after one or two efforts they will either break their harness, splinter a whiffliree, or balk, and refuse to draw at all. Now try it with a yoke of well broken oxen, and they will lay out their utmost strength with the same gentleness and good will tor the tweltlh time, as they did at first. Wives be Obedient to vonr Lords. "Whe ther a man leads a sober life or not." says a pen-ny-a-linw, -'depends altosrether on the temper of his wife. No man will listen all night to a scold, who knows where a good warm sling' may be bought for a sixpence. At Cocktail's the other night, we found no less than thirteen married men, who spend six evenings a week in squirting tobacco juice on a coal stove. We thought we would find out who they were. On inquiring, we learned that eleven of them were blessed with wives, who 'jaw' from Monday morning till Saturday night, while the other two wedded a couple of she missionaries ladies so constantly engaged in the 'welfare of Central Africa,' that they have no time to keep their husband's shirts whole." Romance and the Pulpit. We noticed the fact a day or two since, tliiit a Presbyterian minister resigned li is charge in Philadelphia because the rules of his church would not allow him to , marry a lady, in Virginia who had been dii vorced. The reverend gentleman alluded to came to Virginia, where the lady lives to claim j the boon for which he had resigned his occupa- ! tion and sal cry; but the lady, on hearing of his 1 resignation, declined marriage, giving as her i reason the desire not to separate church and ' pastor. I The above paragraph we copy from the Piichmond Dispatch of the 12th inst. I lie parties to the affair are Rev. Mr. Miller, formerly of Frederick, Md., and a son of the late Professor Mil-
