' Trie Snow.; 1 (
The snow was proverbially called the
poor larnjer's nianure" before fccitniific
anlysis had shown that it contained a
larger per-rentage of ammonia than rain.
The snow serves as a protecting; mantle
to the tender heabage and the roots of
all plants against the fierce blast and cold
of winter. An examination of snow in
Siberia showed that when the tempera
t'ire of the air was seventy-two degrees
b"low zero the temperature of the snow
little beliw the surface was twenty-
nin decrees above zero, over one hun
dred degrees difference.; The snow keeps
ihe earth iust below its surface in a con
dition to take on chemical changes which
would not happen if the earth yvere bare
and frozen to a S'reat dep h. .The snow
preveuts exhalation ffjn the earth: is a
powerful absorbent, retaining and return
inr to. the. earth gases arising from veg
etable and animal decomposition... Ine
snow, though it falls heavly at the door
of the poor, and brings death and star
vation to the fowls of the air and beasts
of the field, is yet of incalculable benefit
n a climate like ours, and especially at
.1 j : t
at a time, wnen ine ueep springs vi
the earth are' failing, and .the .mill-
streams are refusing their motive pow
. prs to tne craving appetites 01 men.
If during such time the clouds have drop-
a
ned rain instead of snow, we mignt nave
pumped and bored and bored the earth
in vain for water; but, with a foot of snow
upon the earth and many feet upon the
Mountains, the hum or. tne nnu-siones
a
aud the harsh notes of .the, saw wouid
soon . and , long testify beneficence.
Bridp-es. earth-works, and the fruits of
engineering skill and toil may be swept
away, but man will still rejoice in the
general good, and adore the benevolence
of Him who orders . all. things aright.
The snow is a great purifier of the at
mosphere. The absorbent power of ca
pillary action of the snow is like that of
SDoncre or charcoal. Immediately
after snoWhas fallen, melt it in a. 'clean
vessel and taste it, and you will nna 1m-
mediaily evidences of its impurity: Try
mm
some a day or two old, and it becomes
nauseous, especially in cities. Snow wa
ter makes the mouth brash and. dry: I It
has trie same effect upon the skin; and
upon the hands and feet prnduces the
painfol malady of chilblaines. " The fol
lowing easy experiment illustrates beau
tiful! the absorbment: property of snow.
Take, a lump of snow (a peice of supw
crust answer well) of three or four iach-
es in length, and hold it in the lame or
a lamp; not a drop of water will fall from
the snow, but the water as fast as form
ed,' will penetrate or be drawn up into
he mass of, snow by capillary attrao lion
It is o'y virtue of, this attraction that
the snow purafies the atmosshere by as
orbinir'and retaining its noxious and noi
some erases and odors. Neva ' England

The UesourcesortlicWest.
While, the. din of arms; and the deep
diapason of groans comes to us from a
hundred Laiil-tieiUi, ana ine river oi
dt-ath bears a flood of sper.t lives into the
hortless sea, this nution is working
out srreat accomplishments,' ani undre-
ffoic a reviamn wnice wouiu oe siaruing
in Deace. we reier io tue assertion ot
r .1
tht power of the west, that has come up
to us from her corn fields. ' The West
has ; subjugated her elder Sisters of the
Ea-t, and made them her hand-maidens.
A vaue idea of the resources of the
West inay be had by considering the
startlins fact, that duriug the year that
has just closed, the territory west of
. aj v
Fensvlvania and north ot tne uaio river,
has produced at least 500,000.000 bushels
of ceieal grain. .We esteani it to be
demonstrable that the life of the ntitiorf
has been preservedthus far in it grea
internal struggle, noteless by cornfields
than by its armies. They sustained the
fearful .financial drain which war ha3
made upon the people and (fed te na
tional trersury with American values,
extracted from American soil. We have
therefore, been spared the humiliation
of becoming suppliants ia Lombard
street. : Through the crauing stomachs
of Europe, ine West has' touc! V her
thrones, and,' holdmg up the key oE us
grains, -has warned off the meddling
hand;t)f intervention. ; We. leave .these
pTitin; themes,, to coronation . of. corn
has produced in our midst, .' We refer to
cur internal finances, and cur domestic
exchanges'. : !? : ' - '
.The-time is fresh, in the memory cl us
all, when the West was a sturday men
dicant largely indebted to the East, it
requdiated and defined us. .' "
Corn has wrought this great revolution
form ibankruptcy- to efiiaence. It has
done it simply by reversing the exchar.ga.
of the country and causing the financial,
palace-tide to . flow westward. Bvff.
