THE LADLE.
11 Money ! you voting spendthrift !” said my
uneln Jerry, ns I asked him lor a shilling to
celebrate Independence; "money! money!
Jet mo see—perhaps I may have nn odd cop.
per for you.” He fumbled in the side | orket
nf his coat, nod with much appnrent hesitancy
lugged out a pocket hook of very aboriginal
appearance, which had tint probably seen the
light for many n day. For tny undo Jetty
was nn exceedingly prudent mail, who never
showed off his money for fear of being robbed,
nr.d never spent it for a still greater fear of be
ing starved. Ycl as lie was nlso of rather n
benevolent turn, lie nlwuys carried llio huge
old porkel book with him. lest perndventure
he should lie suddenly caught in u fit of charity
without any means of gratifying die extempo
raneous qualm.
J watched tho fal old gentleman's jnlli,
round face with boyish curiosity, ns he open-
cd the hook of destiny, and turned leaf after
loaf, without appearing to he very anxious I'm
tho objert of his search. Ilis portly person
projected oven further forward than the arms
of his venerable elbow chair; and his Imld
head, crowned with a circle nl'lighl gray locks,
rested easily against the bark. My uncle
Jerry tapped lightly with Ins foot on tho floor
to keep time to the current of his thoughts;
.And I became quite provoked with costing au
guries on the smiles and the impatient snivels
that alternately waddled ovor his lazy counte
nance, and lurked in tho wrinkles that rallied
round his mouth, nuso and eyes, as lie plod
ded through nooks and crevices of tho old
pocket hook. At length he stumbled on some
thing that attracted his attention ‘ from top in
toefor his head started up from its reclining
postern—ho gave a stare ul tho leaf of the
pocket hook, brought it up close to his face,
then thrust it off at a distance, till ho hod
fixed it in the focus for observation; and final
ly, raising his feet to my chair, which stood
before him, be pushed himself backwards on
tho extremities of his rockers.
All who are acquainled with the Yankees,
know what an uncontrollable propensity they
have to this awkward position, which gives
them frequent opportunities of displaying their
ttgiluy at a aide spring to save themselves
from tumbling backwards, nnd perhaps a bro
ken head. Thus situated, uncle Jerry with
vast gravity examined the obract of bis curi
osity. Ho turned it first one side up—then
the other; gave it a from stare—then a side
aquint; rubbed hia face, and burst into one of
those cordial fit* of laughter, winch frolic so
luxuriantly over the whole frame of a very fin
His cheeks, so loosely plump, and his
1 ter a niiire eloquent Vcnlnloq11i.il rumble, than
did uncle Jerry, as Ins round, pudding-stuffed
corporation emptied itself out of the rocking-
chair on the llunr. Away he rolled, with as
nim h velocity utiil dignity as our earth revolves
through philosophical space—tho so much
talked-of pules of which. Ids head and feet
might very well represent, as they kept the
centre of motion with infinite euniposuto, and
never so much as thought of coming in con
tact with the plane on which his central rotun
dity was moving. l!ut as Ids progress was
transversely through the room, Ids head first
put a period to Ids masterly performance hy a
violent contact with the wall. I went up to
him with n mixture nf comedy mid tragedy in
my face; and by dint of boosting mid tugging,
at length succeeded in restoiing the I’.it old
gentleman to nn erect position. Uncle Jer
ry's fuco at (hut moment resembled the do
sing scene of a feudal banquet, where the
remnants of excessive mirth are oddly enough
contrasted with the broils and perhaps broken
heads to which it has given occasion. I look
ing at him with the expression of half ridicule
mid half condolence, I again hailed him with
—“ It’s droll, nn’t 11, uncle Jerry 1” lie sa il
not a word, hut rubbed Ids head mid sighed.
I picked up the packet hook, and saw that
what had given cause to so much both of mer
riment mid sadness, was in truth nothing hut a

“she can’t liutt you,” “Yes, yes—she’s

Why dues a lire burn briskly and clearly in
cold weather ?
Hecause the air being more dense, affords
more nourishment to the fire.
Effects of heat. — Why do we stick a pin in
a rush light to extinguish it ?
Hecnu.se (lie pin conducts away so much
heal (hut the tallow will not melt or rise in the
wick.
Why docs (he heater of a tea urn soon
change when placed near the water?
Heeause it parts with ils heat to the water,
until both are of the same temperature
Why is u harp or piano forte, which ts well
tuned in a morning drawing room, not perfect
ly in tune when a crowded evening party has
heated the mom ?
because the expansion of strings is greater
than that of the wooden frame work ; and in
cold tho reverso will happen.
Why does a gate in an iron railing shut
loosely and eusilv in a cold day, and stick in r
warm one ?
Hecause in the latter there is a greater ex
pansion in tho gate nnd railing than of the
earth on which they are placed.
Why are thin glass tumblers less liable to
lie hrokun hy boiling water than thick ones ?
Hecause the heal pervades I bo thin vessels
almost instantly nnd with impunity, whereas
thicker ones do not allow a ready passage of
bent
Why does straw or flannel prevent Hie

covering, nnd thus prevents heat passing out
of the pipe. Hy the same means the heat is
retained in stenrn pipes.
Evaporation.—Why is profuse perspiration
so cooling to laboring men, and nil evapora
tion productive of cold ?
Hecause of tho necessity of a large quanti
ty of caloric being combined with fluids, to
convert them into vapor or gas.
Why do persons take cold by sitting in wet
clothes ?
Hecause they suddenly lose a large portion
of heat, which is carried off from the body by
Ihe evaporation of tho water from tho clothes.
Boiling■—Why should tho bottom of a lea
keltic be black, and the top polished ?
Hecause the bottom Ims to absorb bent,
w hich is aided by rough nnd blnckened surfa
ces ; mid the top has to retain heat, which is
ensured by polished ones.
Why is n crust so frequently soon on the in
sides of tea kettles and boilers ?
Hecause of the Imrd water boiled in them,
which holds in solution carbonate of lime, but
being long boiled, the latter is no longer solu
ble nnd becomes precipitated.
Why is walcr when boiled,mawkish nnd in

Hecause the gnsscs which it contained have
been expelled by boiling.
Why is hard water, by boiling, brought near

Hecause it is freed front ils gnsscs, nnd its

The Printer’s Devil.—Tito namo of this
mysterious personngo has long been bandied
uliout by Printers, greatly to their own amuse
ment, but frequently to tho wonder of sundry
uninitiated renders. At the request of a cor
respondent who lias desired an explanation of
the term, we have looked into the fact with
some care, and the follow ing is the result of
our research :—
“ In the tenth year of his reign (1470) the
first hook printed in France, was executed at
Paris by Ubrio Coring. Tho nr! of printing,
which has laid so powerful nn influence in the
improvement of tho human mind, and in the
reformation of government, known to the Chi
nese in n rude though efficient mode upwards
of n thousand years before, was re-discovered,
it is generally agreed, by Lmircntius Foster, a
wealthy citizen of llterlcm, in Holland, About
tile year 1440. I.nurentius, it isolated by an
early writer on the discovery of printing,when
walking in a wood, picked up u small hough
of a tree which had been broken off by tho
wind. He (hen sat down nnd nmused himself
by cutting upon it some letters, and wrapped
up in a piece of paper the part which he had
bus engraved. He afterwards fell asleep,
and when ho awoke, lie perceived that the pa
per, having hern moistened by a shower of
rain, had received nn impression from the let
ters—which induced him to pursue the acci
dental discovery,until he applied it to printing
I.nurentius however, proceeded no further
than to the use of wooden blocks, in the man
ner of stereotype. To this incipient mode, an
improvement was made by two brothers, Ge-
nisfleiehe, or Gcttumlmrgli, who had been in
Ihe employment of Laurenlius, nnd niter his
death earned off part of his printing Mocks to
Mcntz in Germany, where they succeeded in
forming separate melul types, with engraved
fares. Hut Ihe art waa yet fur from being
completed. It seems to have been brought
nearly to its present state of perfection by
Peter Sclitpffer, of the latter city; who, in the
year 1456. east a fount of types from matrices
or moulds, previously cut with the several lel-
of the scriptures, lie afterwards, hy degrees
reduced tho price to thirty crowns. It is said
that the purchasers were ignorant that these
copies were printed; and that it was the poli
cy of Faustus to make them believe that they
were written. They were an exact imitation
of the best manuscripts. As he lowered his
price his sales increased, and people were as
tonished ut his producing copies ns fast as they
were wanted. When he reduced the price to
thirty crowns, all Paris was amazed, both on
account of the uniformity and Ihe quantity pro
duced; it was believed that lie Imd made a
league with the devil, and was accused of be
ing a magician. His lodgings were searched
hy the police—several Bibles were foond and
the red ink with which the illuminators had
made the groat capitals at the beginnings of
each chapter, was pronounced Mood. Faustus
fled, mid escaped death, and from this cir
cumstance originated the story of tho 1 Devil
and I)r. Faustus.”
Strict Construction.—We havo been told
an anecdote relating to this suhjeet, which
must he hugclv pleasing to our brethren of
the South, and we therefore record it for their
especial gratification. During the late session
of the Legislature of this state—in the midst
of our extreme cold weather, when the ther
mometer was several degrees below zero—
the presiding officer of one of its branches, in
sisted upon keeping the door of the room wide
open, because the Constitution provides (Imt

neral Welfare’ might be allowed to shut it, ns
thoy were actually ‘ being frozen;’ his Honor
was inexorable, while tho tears streaming
from his own eves, told how much above nil
personal consideration was his devotion to the
constitution. It was at length suggested to
him that ns the constitution provided they
should sit with open doors, and the room in
which thoy wore had hut ono door, it was evi
dent that they worn sitting in nn unconslifu-

ceedings in such n room must bo unconstitu

THE SLOBS.
I J1RANCIS PRESTON BLAIR continues to pub.
lish, in Washington City, a Newspaper entitled
THE GLOBE, which has now been established about
three months. Its present subscription, which is ra
pidly increasing, insures its permanent existence.
It will be devoted, as it has hitherto been, to thedis.
cession and maintenance of the principles “ which
brought General Jackson into office;** which
have been asserted in his several Messages to Congress
and sustained by the course of his administration. A*
a means of giving permanent effect to those principles'
the Globe will continue to advocate the election of the
President for a second term. I its nomination f Qt r€ .
election by the Republicans of many States, and other
manifestations throughout the Union, leave no doubt
of the desire of the people, that ho shall follow in the
footsteps of Washington and Jefferson, by serving in
the Chief Magistracy eight years.
The Globe will not support or countenance any in-
triguesor cabals, having reference to the successor cf
General Jackson. On the contrary, it will denounce
and expose all men and their acts., who may seek, by
selfish intrigues, with a view to future aggrandizement,
to embarrass the administration, defeat the efforts ol*
the President to promote ttie public good, and sow din.
cord and dissension in the Republican party. It will
hold nr) alliance with those who cannot postpone their
personal pretensions to the interests of their country.
The interest of the American public is necessarily
great in the political affairs of Europo at this eventful
crisis. Arrangements will be completed, as early as
possible, to secure for the Globe the means of giving
the earliest information fri.tn that continent.
It is intended, also, to give |he Globe a literary and
miscellaneous character. Selections from periodicals
of the highest reputation will adorn its column?, togra.
lify the general reader; while, as a vehicle cf informa
tion in relation to manufactures, agiiculturc,commerce
and the arts, it will be made subservient to the useful
pursuits of the country.
An ardent desire lias been expressed to ug by the
friends of the President, that the Globe shall be inode
nt once a daily paper. Their wishes shall be promptly
met, if they give us promise of support. Let them hack
their wishes with actual efforts in obtaining subscri-
hers, and the Globe shall he a daily paper in one
month. With that view, the Editor otters hm paper to
the public.
Arrangements will he made to give a correct report
of the proceedings of Congress, at the next session.
TERMS.
The Globe will be printed on a large imperial short.
Tho price of the Daily paper will be Ten Dollars per
annum ; for shorter periods it will be One Dollar per
month. The price of the SemUieeeMtf paper will he
Five Dollars per annum ; Three Dollars for six months ;
The price of ihe IVerlly paper will be two Dollars and
