ALESSI Olive Oil Taster Taste-Huile
Sale price
$ 85.00
Regular price
$ 0.00
Designed by Lorenzo Piccione di Pianogrillo & Köbi Wiesendanger
Personal olive oil taster in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished. Lorenzo Piccione from Pianogrillo is a Sicilian olive oil producer. Like many before him, Piccione has observed the growth in interest in quality oil, but he alone noticed that there was no utensil that allowed knowledgeable tasting of this wonderful substance. And so he designed a completely new type of object for the Encyclopedia Alessi: The Personal Oil Taster.
Lorenzo Piccione di Pianogrillo
Lorenzo Piccione di Pianogrillo, born in Legnano but originating from a historic Sicilian family that moved to the north, took courses at the Istituto Europeo di Design, Milan and at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, also in Milan. He has maintained contacts with the land of his origins, transforming family properties into a modern and prestigious olive-oil agricultural enterprise. He has thus developed great experience in the production of extra virgin olive oil over the course of the years, reflecting his great passion for agriculture and the production of quality olives. He has two children; he is a photographer and a keen pianist.
Köbi Wiesendanger
Köbi Wiesendanger, Swiss, was born in Zug. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Zurich. He has worked as art-director for Young & Rubicam in Milan, Brussels, Amsterdam and New York. Co-founder and creative director of TBWA Italia. He opened his own studio, working on design and creative consultancy in the areas of furnishing, fashion and communications. He also works as an illustrator and creator of characters, above all in Italy and Japan. With his wife he formed the company Avant de Dormir, for which he has designed all the collections and over 5,000 objects. Some of his design works have been exhibited in museums, under the direction of Philippe Starck and Jean Nouvel. He likes being a painter.

New York, November 5, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists has created a petition that calls on Chinese President Hu Jintao to immediately release unjustly imprisoned Tibetan journalist Dhondup Wangchen.
Wangchen is one of four international journalists who have risked their lives to reveal abuses of power and will be honored with CPJ's 2012 International Press Freedom Award on November 20. He will not attend the awards ceremony; instead, he will spend yet another night in a cold prison cell.
CPJ asks its supporters to sign the petition to release this brave journalist and human rights defender.

Zimmerman has recorded three goals and two assists in two Ivy games this season (Gil Talbot photo).
HANOVER, N.H. — Peter Schwartz and Carl Zimmerman recorded three points each and the visiting Harvard men's lacrosse team had an answer for every Dartmouth run in a 9-6 win Saturday afternoon at Scully-Fahey Field.
After goals by Zimmerman and Schwartz late in the first quarter and early in the second, respectively, gave the Crimson (4-3, 1-1 Ivy League) a 2-0 lead, Dartmouth (2-4, 0-1) rallied to tie once and get with again a goal on two other occasions. Each time, Harvard countered with two goals, keeping the Big Green from ever claiming the lead.
Schwartz and Zimmerman each scored two goals and assisted on another, as the Crimson won for the third time in the last four games. Five other Harvard players scored once each, and Harry Krieger made 13 saves, including five in the fourth quarter.
Jake Weil and Chris Costabile scored to tie the score at 2-2 in the second quarter, but Pat Fiorvanti's first goal of the season came at a pivotal time, five seconds before halftime.
Schwartz added his eighth of the season in the third quarter, only to see Dartmouth's Phil Hession cut the margin to 4-3 less than a minute later. Again, Harvard had an answer, in the form of tallies by Zimmerman and Gabriel Mendola separated by just 11 seconds.
Dartmouth climbed to within 6-5 later in the period, but Jack Walker reestablished Harvard's two-goal cushion and the defense took over. The Big Green put six shots on goal in the final 15 minutes, but only Johnny Carson's goal to make it 8-6 got past Krieger. Alex White put away his 12th goal of the season to seal the win, after Murphy Vandervelde had scored earlier in the quarter.
Dartmouth held a 30-29 edge in shots, and the teams were evenly matched on the stat sheet, apart from a 12-6 faceoffs advantage for the Crimson. Rick Molé won 10 of his 16 faceoffs, while Mendola won both of his and picked up a game-high seven ground balls.
Harvard will host a pair of non-conference foes next week as No. 20/20 Albany and No. 12/13 Duke visit Cambridge. The Crimson and Great Danes will meet Tuesday, March 26 at 7 p.m. before Harvard hosts the Blue Devils Saturday, March 30 at 7 p.m. live on NBC Sports Network.

But first, seeing Kenneth Munk in this outfit was not the painful part. Doesn't look the like woman handing out the awards was in pain either.
So dang it all. I arrived this morning feeling I had golden legs. What could go wrong? Nice weather - right around freezing (32F), light wind. It was a PR kind of day. PR kind of course.
The first 3km went exactly as planned despite the headwind - a 3:50min/km pace. Just rolling along, feeling good. Then a bike pulled out in front of me and the guy pushed me over and said "I'm gonna get you Sea Legs Girl".
Alright, I'm just kidding. What really happened is a pacing bike pulled out beside me after a guy said to him "here's the first female". All fine and and well. Rolling along.

When Disney acquired Lucasfilm in the fall, the new leadership, quarterbacked by Lucasilm's new President Kathleen Kennedy, made their intentions very clear. Star Wars is not only going to get new movies, but it's going to continue the story crafted by George Lucas, meaning familiar universe, familiar timeline and familiar characters.
Mark Hamill confirmed that he's in talks to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker and Harrison Ford has already reportedly signed to return as Han Solo. And if there's a Han Solo, there's a Princess Leia, and that holds true when the Star Wars saga returns in 2015 with Episode VII.
In a recent interview with Palm Beach Illustrated, Carrie Fisher straight-up confirmed a multitude of rumors and reports that she will be reprising her career-defining role as Leia Organa in first of many upcoming Star Wars movies. When asked if she could confirm her return, Fisher simply replied with "yes."
And to follow up, Fisher gave her thoughts jokingly on what Episode 7′s Leia may be like:
"Elderly. She's in an intergalactic old folks' home [laughs].
I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle."
An aged Leia and Solo would likely be embracing leadership positions in the New Republic, born of the ashes of the Empire after the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the second Death Star in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. If the films follow the multitude of the Star Wars expanded universe stories, Leia may have several children who themselves could be main characters in the series going forward: The twins Jaina & Jacen, and their youngest, Anakin, named after [Vader voice] you know who.
As for Leia specifically, she may play a similar supporting role to the Mon Mothma character of the original trilogy – with more screen time undoubtedly – but in either case, it's pleasing to see Lucasfilm and Disney honoring the franchise roots and maintaining the continuity in the most authentic way possible.
With the main three characters all but officially confirmed by the studio to return, what about other characters like Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) and Wedge Antilles (Dennis Lawson)? And are Fisher and co. back for the entire trilogy (Episodes 7-9) or just Episode 7?

1 Sfktó iflcfri!. MEMORY. FROM LONGFELLOW'S " GOLDES LEGEM).'' I cannot sleep : my fervid brain Calls up the vanish?d past again, And throws its misty splendor deep Into the palid realms of sleep! A breath from that far distant shore Comes freshening ever more and more, And wafts o'er intervening seas Sweet odors from the Ilesperides! A wind that through the corridor Just stirs the curtain and no more, And touching the JEolian strings, t-'ainfs with the burden that it brings! Come back ! ye friendships long departed ! That like overflowing streamlets started! And now are dwindled one by one, To stony channels in the sun! Come back! ye friends whose lives arc ended! Come back, with all that light attended, Which scemVl to darken and decay When ye arose and went away ! They come, the shapes of joy and w'oe, Tlie airy crowds of long ago ; The dreams and fancies known of yore, That have been, and shall bo no more. They change the cloisters of the night Into a garden of delight 5 They make the dark and dreary hours Open and blossom into flowers ? I would not sleep! I love to be Alone in their fair company ; But ere my lips can bid them stay They pass ami vanish quite away ! Alas! our memories may retrace Kach circumstance of time and place ; Bdft&OQ and scene come back again, And outward things unchanged remain ; The vest wc cannot reinstate Ourselves we cannot recreate, Nor get our souls to the same key Ofthe rciwember'd harmoj.y I Best! rest! O give me rest and peace ! The thought of love that ne'er shall cease Has something in it like despair, A weight I am too weak to bear !

Los Angeles, March Cth 1855. mlO-tf WELLS, FARGO & GO'S Grand Coup de Main contemplated by the Emperor Napolcon.—We copy the following from tlie New Orleans Picayune of Feb. 21st. As to the correctness of the facts stated, future events can only afford the proof: "We give the following extraordinary intelligence to our readers. We are not permitted to name our authority. It will suffice to say that by the last mails a letter was received from Paris by an individual in this city. We have been permitted to publish a translation of a portion of this correspondence. ' The Emperor has foreseen all the calamities-ami reverses of Sebastopol ever since the allied army sat down before the city. St. Arnaud was a trooper (pandour)—he might have taken the place by a charge of cavalry at the first onset, but failing that, a siege became necessary. Neither Raglan norCan- robcrt were equal to their position, aud Louis Napoleon knew it. He did not want Sebastopol to be taken this winter. He knew that short of a butch- cry, of which the histoty of war affords no parallel, the place could not be carried. He determined that Sebastopol should subserve a mighty political purpose. For this, he has been delaying supplies while ho has concentrated his forcj. in France. An overwhelming army is gathering on the Prussian frontier. At Marseilles, Toulon and Algiers, a flotilla, to be reinforced Ly English vessels, will be ready to sail with seventy thousand men on March 15. On the arrival of this armada in the Crimea, the Emperor will leave Paris, and appear in person before Sebastopol. A coup de main, upon a gigantic scale, will be attempted. Sebastopol will fall. The elated army, flushed with the feat, will sweep over the Crimea and occupy the Isthmus of Pere- kop. After a campaign wliich will endure a fortnight, Louis Napoleon will retyrn to Paris, where the suddenness of his departure and the .promptness ofhis return will find all conspiracies unprepared for development, and where the glory of his victory will scatter all further treason to the winds. Such is the campaign contemplated by Louis Napoleon, lie assured that if Providence does not interfere, it will take place as I havesaid. Collaterally with the departure of the Emperor for the East, the French army on tlie Prussian frontier will operate upon Rhcimsli Prussia. A note will be' sent to the king of Prussia, demanding free passage for the French troops through his domInions,which. if refused, will advance lo the Rhine.' If the above prove correct, Louis Napoleon has outplayed the whole world. We have only been •creating a monster in Sebastopol, we have been endowing it with terrors, so as to appreciate the feat in contemplation by the astute Emperor, of achieving a great Russian victory where his uncle encountered the most, disastrous'defeat." 33 :x: je» n :es ¡s ss" A Joint Stocks Company wllh a Capital of gsoo.ooo, WILL rtispnteli an Express frosm tl*e City of Lo« Atiiioli's. by every Stciitner, to .ill parts of California) Oregon, the AÜantioStates and Europe, in charge of regular ami experienced Messengers.

There is little which will be considered startling. The same reports from the Cri mea in regard io. the British army—almost destroyed by the totak incapacity of its aristocratic officers . and the idiotic weakness ofthe noble ninnies in the recent. Ministry, who have, as the Times declares, been acting es grave-diggers far the noblest army ever sent forth to battle. It is pitiable to see .fifty thousand British troops, whose weapons have never been giarshalcd together, go down to their grave-: through sheer neglect. How the masses—the good old English spirit-of the middle classes, have borne and can bear to see their best blood spilled and their best material Hi us thrown, away, is a query not easily answered. Dut the change is in progress. The democratic principle is progressing ; and Aristocracy is sedulously digging its own' grave while acting the part of sexton for the army -of the commonalty of Great Britain. Tí is believed by many that the contemplated campaign of Napoleon to the Crimea, as before -reported, is in his mind a fixed fact. It is more than possible. It is like him. And the fate of the war aud of the allies would be vastly better off if trusted to a single battle, himself the commander- in-chief, than though forty old superanuated Raglans were roasting in warm quarters, while hardy Britons were freezing and starving in the bleak winds, snows aud rains of that dreadful Peninsula, Napoleon is comparatively fresh from the people— his line has not been royal long enough to degenerate into titled inanity. Some of the eastern papers are severely handling I the Congress just adjourned. The enormous bills | passed, or attempted, extension of patents, subsidies to steam companies, spoliation bills, Texas claims, land bills, etc., are cited as proof of the pilfering tendencies of that august body ; and even corruption ofthe most shameless description, is openly charged upon some ofthe members. So it would seem that our immaculate cousins over the mountains,, can keep our politicians in countenance. Their great love .for us and our interests they have manifested by smothering the Pacific Railroad bill after it had once passed. The Telegraph bill is not woith from us an acknowledgement of thanks-—[San Franicsco Chronicle. M.ELÁNCH0LLY Affair,—On the Sunday nreced- ing the memorable storm of the 21st of Jairffcry, two families numbering ten persons, mov\\i<£\rum. Southern Indiana to Northern Illinois, arrived at Oxford, the county seat of Benton county, Iud., with two ox teams and well provided with the necessaries for the road. On the following Monday they pursued their journey, but withia five miles of Oxford, they J^-came inextricably involved in the ^new-drifts m the prairie, and, losing their presence of mind, the whole party perished. When found it was discovered that they had burned their wagons in the effort to save their lives. Two of their oxen had been killed and the viscera removed lo afford shelter to four children anda mother with a nursing infant, all of whom were found frozen to death. There was nothing about their persons to indicate who they were, and nothing more is known about them than was accidentally communicated by them during their brief etay in Oxford.—[Boston Jourrjftl.

Because he has mr: LABGBSt i.ir.rrr is the -world, from which he can form three distinct lights—top. side and half side lights—that now enables him to overcome the great difficulty wliich every artist In this city has to contend with—namely. In order to obtain perfect likenesses, different formed features re'|uIro differently arranged liuhts. Having ihe largest light, he is enabled to make pictures in half tlie time of any other establishment in the elty ; therefore they must lie more perfect, for it is well known, the shorter the time tho more natural the expres- 4th. Because every plate is carefully prepared with a coating of pure silver which-firodnees the clear, bold and lasting picture that is so much admired, and which cannot be producod on the common plates, as they are now used by oilier artists. 5th. Because he has of late, after much experimenting, brought his chemical preparations to perfection, using compounds entirely different from anything ever before used in the art. wliich enables him to produce perfect likenesses at every sitting, with that clear, soft and beautiful tone, so much admired in all his pictures.

[From CiiArfnKit'B Journal.] Annie Linton was the best sewer in Nr.-. Roy'fi school ; and the mistress declarcl, em insrieetino- tlie Iirst shirt she made for her lather, '-Th-.it the Duke of Iluccleuch himself might wear it!" This; was high praise for little Annie, wjto was only eleven years of age; and site never-forgot it. Her work was the neatest and cleanest ever seen. Then, she did it so quickly, her mothef could not keep pace with her daily demand for "Tomething to sew/' 'T wish Annie would taketoher book/'sahlMrs. Linton to her husband. But it was quité clear (hut- Annie would not take to her book; she ha.! liflh; reading and less spelling ; and yet she could "mark" {with cotton) all the letters ofthe alphabet, as if site was a very miracle of learning. "Something to sew," eagerly demanded Annie. "Will any mowing come to this sewing?" asked licr father, with a very natura! attemptat a pun, "Those who do not sow shall not reap." said little, Annie, cleverly taking up her father's meaning and ¿ier work basket at the Rain» time, as she whisked -past h'un in fear of being too late for school. Three weeks after: "-'Annie's learning to lie & scholar," said Mrs. Linton ; "no more demands for sewing." That afternoon Annie cam'c bounding into the house from school, sat upon her father's knee, opened her work-bag. which hung over her arm, and putting a screwed up paper into his hand, said: "There's the mowing." Her father undid the paper, and found four half crowns. "Annie," <;'ueiitioned her father, "where did this come from?" "From the sewing," answered Annie, laughing delightedly at his surprise, as she escaped from his knee and ran out of the room, to delay a little longer the solution of the riddle. . "Wife," said John Linton, "it is impossible that Annie could earn all this by the sort of child's pi ay girls call work ; and who'nf did she earn it from ? I'm afraid there's something wrong. And, to tell the tiutli, Annie Linton ivas practising a little disguise ; nor had she given her father all the money she had earned. The sum originally was twelve shillings. This was all designed for her father alone ; but a prior claim had come in the way. It was cold winter weather, aud the children of the school brought their forms, in a sort of square, around Mrs. Roy's fire. Annie, who was a favorite with the mistress, always occupied a warm corner close to her own big chair. Onthedayinquestion, Mrs. Roy happened to be out ofthe room— "I'll change seats with you, Jessie Wilson, if you're cold," said Anuie, addressing a little girl, a very book worm, who, clad in a threadbare printed colton gown, sat shivering over her lesson. Jessie, thus invited, came a little nearer. "You should put on a woolen frock like mine, and warm yourself well at your mother's fire before you come to school these winter days," said Annie, scrutinizing the poverty struck appearance ofthe girl. "Mother says," replied Jessie, "that she'd rather do without a (ire than ray schooling, and she can't pay for both." "Has your mother no (ire at home this cold weather?" asked Annie, in amazement. "No," said Jessie. "I wish I had dai'cd to bring her with me here, it's warmer than at home. And I know mother is ill, though she won't tell inc.' "Sit there," said Annie, placing Jessie in her warm corner ; "and don't go out of school without me." That afternoon the two girls went hand in hand to Jessie's door. "Have you plenty to eat, if you've no fire?" asked Annie. "Thie is. the first day mother has been forced to send me to school without any breakfast,"said Jessie, hanging down her head, as if ashamed of hep confession. "Here," said Annie after a slight pause, untwist' ing the paper in which were deposited her first earnings; "I wont go ín with you, lor your mother might not like to take it from a little girl like me ; but"-—and she put tWO shillings into Jesiie's hand —"that is to buy you something to eat, and •fire ; and, if your mother can sew as well as I can," Said Annie, with pardonable vanity, "I can tell her how to get plenty of money to pay for both." No wonder Annie's riehes increased 5 the first investment was a good 0m1. Nevertheless, the concealing of it from her parents she knew to bewron^ she feared they would disapprove of it; and she added to her utile prayer at night, after the usual ending of "God bless father and mother—and forgive me for keeping secret that I helped Jessie Wilson." Could the Recording Angel carry up a purer prayer to Heaven ? * Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Linton very soon discovered that Mr. Seamwell, ofthe 'Rcaely made Linen Ware'house.' was the grand BOBTCe ofAnnie-'s wealth. He said there was no one who could work like her. and said that he would give eighteen pence each for the finest description of shift making. This was no great payment for Annie's eNtpiisiteititching— and thirty years ago it would have brought her ihr;:c-anii-sixpence a shirt. But Annie is of the present not of the past; and as she could complete s shirt a day, her lingers Hying Ulster than a weaver'; shuttle, she earned nine shillings a week. " Good wife," said Mr, Linton, "we are riot so poor but that we can maintain our daughter until she's twenty, and by that time, at the present rate of her earnings, she will have a little fortune iu the bank." But "this Utile i'ortt.ne amassed but slowly, for Annie seldom had nine shillings at the end of the week—there were other " Jessie Wilsons'-' who required food and fucilad Annie been a poet, she would assuredly have written, not the song, but a song of the shirt, for once when she was questioned as to the elull monotony of her work: "Dull? Delightful!'' said Anuie, in advocacy of her calling. "Why. with this rare linen and fine thread, my stitches seem like stringing little pearls along tiie wristbands and collars!" What an anti-song of the shirt might Annie have not written ! Annie's eighteenth birth-day was celebrated by a tea-party to all the seamstresses of Mr. Seam- well's establishment-, where she was now forewoman : besides,being a cheer.id, kind-hearted little creature, beloved by everybody, it was a compliment Mr. Seamwell said, she well deserved—her admirable superintendence uf the department al- lottedher having increased his business ten fold. Sometime after, there was a great day of rejoicing ih the firm of Seamwell & Co. The father had taken his son as a partner, and the son took apa^ ner for life—the indefatigable little seamstress? Annie Linton. There never was a blither bridal. Annie herself having risen from the ranks, had a present for every work-woman. Indeed, it was a day oí presents, for on that very morning, and time to be worn at the wealing, a shawl arrived for Annie, all the way from India—an Indian shawl that a duchess would have envied ! Upon it w.as pinned a paper, on which was written:— " Wear this for the sake of one who is now rich and happy, but who never can forget the services you rendered to the poor school-girl—Jessie Wilson." "Annie." said young Seamwell after the marriage, " I fell in love with you when you were a child, and came to our shop for your first sewing. I also happened to be passing when you gave part of your first earnings to Jessie "Wilson ; I was a boy, then, but I said to myself: "If I were a man. I'd marry Annie Linton ; in#because she's so pretty"—here Annie blushed most becomingly—"not beoAQse she's so industrious, but because she's so kind-hearted." " Hitstclfitneiras. TUc ChlneM Insurrection. The Rev. J. P. Roberts, who has been employed as a missionary to China, in a recent Itjctore delivered at Louisville, Ky., made some interesting statements m regard lo Ihe leader of the rebel party in China. It is .well known that sume extraordinary features ha.y,. boon connected wUh the rebel movement from the Bret—-that with a greai deal ed heatheninem, some points of Christianity have been dcvelopwl. Tiie sfalement of Mr. liobe'rls will illuminate the subject, "He said that he was Iirst visited by the man who is now the leader of tlie insurrection, in 1841!. The leader was. at thai time, a literary man, and engaged in teaching BOhooL Ho came to Mr. Roberts to learn something oí the Christian religion—" the new faith." as he termed it. He became a pupil, dwellin- with Mr.Roberts, applied himself closely to the study of the Bible, was strict in his attendance on worship, anel after ihe e-viiiruliim of two mouth:;pivix.nij-d hims-.H'¡br baptiam. and also desired to unite with the Church, Bnl as such a proceeding would debar him from a livelihood by his ordinary occupation, al the M ■■■■ gestión of one of the brethren he concluded to defer it till some other means of existe secured, and left Mr. Ii. for the purpose of accomplishing that end. Soon after this the insurrection broke out. and Mr. R. received word from his pupil that he was the leader of it, expressing at the same time grateful remembrance of the new truths he had received under Mr. Roberts' instruction. The acts of the leader leave but little doubt oí the truth of the matter. The decrees which have been promulgated, that the Bible should be taught in the schools, that idols should be destroyed, that opium should not be used, aud other reforms which belong to Christianity, show that the mind which directs the movements of the revoiutionrSts has learned some of the truths of the Bible. The present aspect of the case is interesting. Mr. Roberts thinks that the revolutionists will ultimately triumph, and anticípales important results to religion and commerce. If such should be the fact, history may yet record the name of the pupil of the American missionary as the Cromwell oi' China. ft would seem from late reports from China, that the Commissioners of the United States and England were disposed to assist, or at least to lend theit influence to the government, with the expectation of obtaining a better intercourse of trade, "We have already protested against such a departure from the principles of strict non-intervention, and we think the view presented by Mi: Roberts is well calculated to enlist the sympathies of Christians hereupon, ¿be sida ofthe revolutionists. It is doubtless true, that it is of great moment to us, as a commercial people, to obtain the greatest possible facilities for trade. Our intercourse with China is soon to be largely i'uereascd. The course of trade is to bu changed, and a few years hence— when the Pacific railroad has opened to us new facilities—we shall be enabled to furnish to China many manufactured articles cheaper than can be furnished by England. But we are not aware that any evidence has been produced to show that the revolutionists would not extend the same facilities as are expected to be acquired by siding with the imperialists. On the contrary, there is reason to believe that greater advantages would be obtained from the revolutionists. Mr. Roberts says that the reforms introduced by the leader of the revolutionists have produced great benefits in the districts where they hold sway—that there is a great advance toward civilization. It is natural, al-o. to suppose that the leading spirit, which obtained its vitality from the new faith, would take all possible means for an intimate connection with those aationss (that profess it To us, looking at the movement from so great a distance, it would seem that greater benefits would result, not only to us as a nation, but to civiKza- tiuu and to Christianity, if the revolutionists should gain the ascendency. Although there is much iu their belief and course of action whieh is heathenish aud intolerant, yet it is a great remove from the present degraded form of Tartar heallieii- istn and exelusiveness. A Physiological Vleiv of tlic Day of Rest. I!Y DR. PARRE. The ordinary cxcriitKis of man run da:.e:i the circulation every day of his life ; and tlic first general law of nature by which God (who is not only the giver, but also the preserver and sustainer of life) prevents man from destroying himself, is the alternating of day with night, that repose may succeed action. But although the night apparently equalizes the circulation well, yet it does not .sufficiently restore its balance for the attainment of a long life. Hence one day in seven, by the bounty of Providence, is thrown in -as a day of compensation, to perfect by its repose the animal system. Y/ou may easily determine this question as a matter of fact by trying it on beasts of burden. Take that fine animal, the horse, and work him to the full extent of his powers every day in the week, or give him rest oa« day in seven, and you will BOOO perceive, by the superior vigor which performs his functions on the other six days, that this rest is necessary to his well-being. Man, possessing a superior nature, is borne along by the very vigor of his mind, so that the injury of continued diurnal exertion and excitement ou his animal system is not so immediately apparent aa it is in the brute ; but in the long run he breaks down more suddenly it abridges the length, of bis life, and that vigor of his oíd age which (as to mere animal power) ought to be the object of his preservation. I consider, therefore, that in the bountiful provision of Providence for the preservation of human life, the Sab- batieal appointment is noi. as it has been BWa^- times theoretically viewed, simply a precej I partaking of the nature of a political institution, but that it is to be numbered among the natural duties, if the preservation of life be admitted to be a duty and the premature destruction of it a suicidal act. And if you consider further the proper effect of real Christianity, namely, peace ot mind, confiding trust iu God. and good will to man, you will perceive, in this source of renewed vigor to the mind, and through the mind to the body, an additional spring of life imparted from tlds higher use of the Sabbath as a holy rest. Researches in physiology will establish the truth of revelation, and consequently show that the divine eommamlmem is no,. to be considered an arbitrary enaetment, but as rm appoinimeut necessary to man. This is the position in which I would place it, as contradistinguished from precept and legislation : I would point out the Sabbatical rest as necessary to man; aud that the great enemies of the Sabbath, ami u-onscqnent- ly the enemies of man, are all laborious exercises oi the body or mind, ami dissipation, which force the circulation on that day in which it should repose : while relaxing from the ordinary cares of life, the enjoyment ot this repose in the bosom of one's family, with the religious studies and duties which tiie day enjoins, constitute the beneficial and appropriate service of the day. The student of nature, in becoming the student of Christ, will find, in (be principles of his doctrine and law, the only and perfect science wliich prolongs the pre sent and per sects ihe future life. Be always frank and true ; spurn every sort of affectation and disguise. Have the courage ¡0 confess your ignorance and awkwardness. Confide your faults to but lew. IT. S. Laml Commission.

I cannot sleep : my fervid brain
Calls up the vanish?d past again,
And throws its misty splendor deep
Into the palid realms of sleep!
A breath from that far distant shore
Comes freshening ever more and more,
And wafts o'er intervening seas
Sweet odors from the Ilesperides!
A wind that through the corridor
Just stirs the curtain and no more,
And touching the JEolian strings,
t-'ainfs with the burden that it brings!
Come back ! ye friendships long departed !
That like overflowing streamlets started!
And now are dwindled one by one,
To stony channels in the sun!
Come back! ye friends whose lives arc ended!
Come back, with all that light attended,
Which scemVl to darken and decay
When ye arose and went away !
They come, the shapes of joy and w'oe,
Tlie airy crowds of long ago ;
The dreams and fancies known of yore,
That have been, and shall bo no more.
They change the cloisters of the night
Into a garden of delight 5
They make the dark and dreary hours
Open and blossom into flowers ?
I would not sleep! I love to be
Alone in their fair company ;
But ere my lips can bid them stay
They pass ami vanish quite away !
Alas! our memories may retrace
Kach circumstance of time and place ;
Bdft&OQ and scene come back again,
And outward things unchanged remain ;
The vest wc cannot reinstate
Ourselves we cannot recreate,
Nor get our souls to the same key
Ofthe rciwember'd harmoj.y I
Best! rest! O give me rest and peace !
The thought of love that ne'er shall cease
Has something in it like despair,
A weight I am too weak to bear !
Sweeter to this afflicted breast
Tranquility of endless sleep !

Grand Coup de Main contemplated by the Emperor Napolcon.—We copy the following from tlie
New Orleans Picayune of Feb. 21st. As to the correctness of the facts stated, future events can only
afford the proof:
"We give the following extraordinary intelligence to our readers. We are not permitted to
name our authority. It will suffice to say that by
the last mails a letter was received from Paris by
an individual in this city. We have been permitted to publish a translation of a portion of this correspondence.
' The Emperor has foreseen all the calamities-ami
reverses of Sebastopol ever since the allied army
sat down before the city. St. Arnaud was a trooper (pandour)—he might have taken the place by a
charge of cavalry at the first onset, but failing that,
a siege became necessary. Neither Raglan norCan-
robcrt were equal to their position, aud Louis Napoleon knew it. He did not want Sebastopol to be
taken this winter. He knew that short of a butch-
cry, of which the histoty of war affords no parallel, the place could not be carried. He determined
that Sebastopol should subserve a mighty political
For this, he has been delaying supplies while ho
has concentrated his forcj. in France. An overwhelming army is gathering on the Prussian frontier. At Marseilles, Toulon and Algiers, a flotilla,
to be reinforced Ly English vessels, will be ready
to sail with seventy thousand men on March 15.
On the arrival of this armada in the Crimea, the
Emperor will leave Paris, and appear in person before Sebastopol. A coup de main, upon a gigantic scale, will be attempted. Sebastopol will fall.
The elated army, flushed with the feat, will sweep
over the Crimea and occupy the Isthmus of Pere-
kop. After a campaign wliich will endure a fortnight, Louis Napoleon will retyrn to Paris, where
the suddenness of his departure and the .promptness ofhis return will find all conspiracies unprepared for development, and where the glory of his
victory will scatter all further treason to the winds.
Such is the campaign contemplated by Louis Napoleon, lie assured that if Providence does not interfere, it will take place as I havesaid. Collaterally with the departure of the Emperor for the
East, the French army on tlie Prussian frontier will
operate upon Rhcimsli Prussia. A note will be'
sent to the king of Prussia, demanding free passage
for the French troops through his domInions,which.
if refused, will advance lo the Rhine.'
If the above prove correct, Louis Napoleon has
outplayed the whole world. We have only been
•creating a monster in Sebastopol, we have been endowing it with terrors, so as to appreciate the feat
in contemplation by the astute Emperor, of achieving a great Russian victory where his uncle encountered the most, disastrous'defeat."

SEATTLE, June 23 (UPI) -- U.S. women's goalkeeper Hope Solo pleaded not guilty on domestic violence charges in Kirkland, Wash., on Monday.
Solo was arrested Saturday after an altercation at her sister's home in Kirkland, a Seattle suburb, where the 32-year-old athlete allegedly attacked her 17-year-old nephew and his mother.
Solo was released from jail after Kirkland Municipal Court Judge Michael J. Lambo determined that she posed no flight risk. He ordered her to refrain from alcohol use and to stay away from her half-sister and nephew.
The courtroom hearing offered additional details about the incident leading to Solo's arrest.
According to court documents, officers responded to a 911 call in the early hours of Saturday morning. Police said they Solo was drunk and hitting people.
After identifying injuries on Solo's sister and nephew, officials said they determined that the soccer star was "the primary aggressor and had instigated the assault."
In an affidavit, Solo's nephew claimed that she "upset about the fact that her husband [former NFL Star Jerramy Stevens] refused to take her to catch a flight because he was being a jerk." The teen also said that Solo called him "fat" and "crazy."
"Hope is not guilty of any crime," Solo's attorney said in a statement. "In fact, our investigation reveals that Hope was assaulted and injured during this unfortunate incident. We look forward to the opportunity to present the true facts in court and to having this matter behind Hope very soon."
Solo's team, Seattle Reign FC, issued a statement via Twitter on Saturday.
We are aware of the situation with Hope and are now gathering information. We do not have any additional information to share at this time.
Solo is due back in court on August 11.

Who cares what Jesus would say about immigration?
A congregation was divided over whether or not to welcome some new immigrants into their fold. Everyone knew that most of the new arrivals were undocumented.
In the midst of their struggle they decided to turn to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For several weeks they studied how Jesus included the children, the women, the Samaritans, the rich, the poor. He seemed to always include those whom others found reason to exclude.
Finally, one young woman in her frustration stood up and said: "I don't care what Jesus says, I don't want those people in my church."
It seems to me that for those who call themselves Christian, for those who claim to follow Jesus, the primary question on the issue of immigration is not a question of legality. The bottom line is: "Do we care what Jesus says?"

Forests are home to more species than nearly any other ecosystem on the planet and provide a livelihood for millions of people. Their protection is in everyone's best interest.
Forests are the first line of defence against climate change, storing nearly 300 billion tonnes of carbon in their living parts (biomass) – or roughly 30 times the annual amount of emissions created by burning fossil fuels. So, in a way, destroying them threatens us all.
Forested areas worldwide are under threat from an ever-increasing global thirst for commodities - from palm oil to pulp and paper, from timber to new roads.
Consumers don't have to be part of this circle of forest destruction simply because of the products they buy and use every day. Today, on the International Day of Forests, Greenpeace calls on corporations to clean up their supply chains and for governments to better enforce legislation aimed at protecting our forests.

With exactly two months to go until the IAAF World Championships, the host city staged an exciting contest as part of the IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge where former World record-holder Anita Wlodarczyk beat home favourite Tatyana Lysenko.
Held on the eve of the Moscow Challenge, an IAAF World Challenge meeting, a cosy sports complex in Luzhniki served as an ideal replacement for the main arena, as the infield was being preserved for the Rugby World Cup Sevens later this month.
"Somehow it happens quite often that we go to the reserve fields, so this is nothing new," said Lysenko. "Personally I like to compete at big stadiums, but I realize this is not always possible."
Another disappointment was the absence of current world leader Betty Heidler. The German felt strong back pain on the day of her flight to Moscow, and after some consideration decided not to risk her health and stay at home.
But even without the current World record-holder, three Olympic champions – Lysenko, Aksana Miankova from Belarus and Cuban Yipsi Moreno – ensured it was a high-quality field.
Wlodarczyk took an early lead with 71.33m on her first attempt, and after a foul on her second throw, Germany's Kathrin Klaas took the lead with 71.89m. But that was short lived, as Wlodarczyk responded with 72.61m to regain first place at the half-way mark.
Lysenko then edged ahead with 72.67m in the fourth round to take the lead, but again it did not last long as Wlodarczyk produced a winning 74.28m throw on her fifth attempt.
The Russian saved her best throw for the last round, but her 72.97m wasn't enough to close the gap. Klaas, the Olympic fifth-place finisher, held on for third place ahead of Miankova (71.37m).
In total, seven women broke 70 metres. Former World record-holder Gulfiya Khanafeyeva threw 71.33m, World and Olympic finalist Zalina Marghieva managed 71.24m and Hungarian Eva Orban was just over 70 metres with 70.02m.
"I'm very happy to win in Moscow as it is a good sign before the World Championships," said Wlodarczyk, the 2009 World champion. "I managed to throw well, in spite of the pressure coming from Lysenko and the other girls. I'm satisfied with my preparation right now, but there are two more months left – so lots of hard work coming."
Since the 2012 London Olympics, where Lysenko took gold ahead of Wlodarczyk, the Pole has now defeated Lysenko on five consecutive occasions.
Lysenko looked disappointed after suffering another defeat, but her mood was lifted slightly when a fan presented her with a huge bunch of yellow flowers.
"To be honest, I did not like my throws today from a technical point of view," said Lysenko. "I have competed quite a lot recently, and the result is stable – about 72-73 meters. This is not too bad, but of course I will have to improve before the World Champs.
"I know it will be quite hard for me to compete at this huge home stadium, the pressure is going to be overwhelming. That's why I try to compete now as much as I can, travelling to almost every meeting, because only in competition you can get used to this pressure from the public. Training is a completely different thing."
