denns from tjir ports. youth and age. BY CHARLES SWAIN. The proudest poetry of youth Is__“ Would I were a man !” The golden vears that lie between Youth, like a dream, would span. ’Tis in its thought—’tis in its heart— ’Tis ever on its tongue : But oh, the poetry of age, j t j s , When 1 was young! Thus, in the mom of life, our feet Would distant pathways find, The sun still face to face we meet. The shadow falls behind! But when the morn of life is o’er, And nature grows less kind, The lengthVng shadow creeps before , The sunlight falls behind ! With many a murmur, slow and sad. The stream of life flows on ; That which we prized not when we had Is doubly prized when gone ! And many a sad and solemn tiuth Lies written on life’s page, Between the “ Poetry of Youth,” And “ Poetry of Age !” London Literary Gazette. THORWALDSEN’S MERCURY. Is fixed silence stood the sculptor. Gazing on the breathing stone. From the chaos of the marble Into godlike being grown ; But a gloom was on his forehead, In his eye a drooping glanbe ; And at last the heavy sorrow From the lips found utterance. “ Holy Art! thy shapes of beauty Have I carved, but ne’er before Reached the perfect and the faultless ; Still beyond my thought would soar, Still the high, unfounded idea! Sought anew and and fairer mould ; In my conquest sinks my genius, And Thorwaldsen is grown old.” Noble artist! thine the yearning. Thine the deep, inspiring word, By the sleepless soul immortal Evermore in secret heard. For the earthly is it pleasure The low. earthly end to gain, For the seeker of the Perfect To be satisfied is pain. Visions of an untold glory Milton saw in his eclipse ; A lost Paradise to others, That had no Apocalypse ; Nobler Christs and veiled Madonnas Painted were on Raphael’s soul ; ?delodies he could not utter O’er Bethoven’s ear would roll. Ever floats the dim ideal Far before the longing eyes, Ever as we seem to grasp it, Onward the horizon flies ; Not the brimming cups of wisdom May the thirsty spirit slake, And the molten gold in pouring Doth the mould in pieces break. Voice within our inmost nature, Calling deep to answering deep, Midst file’s long and weary labour, Shalt thou waken us from sleep ; All our joy is in our future, And our motion is our rest, Still the True reveals the Truer, Still the Good foretells the Best. Literary World. djj|itii|isfs us jOttit ‘Hooks. M A N N E li. [From Tuckerman’s New Work, “ Tlit- Optimist.” Oh form! How often dost thou with thy rase, thy habit, Wrench awe from fools, and tie the wisest souls To thy false seeming ! Measure for Measure. When the fluid particles composing the primeval earth settled into consis tent masses, an unbroken, uniform plain was not the result; but everywhere form, colour and density indicated the various species of matter. Verdure crept over the rich loam, long tables of sand marked the limits of the sea, and rocks <*f every hue stood forth from the hills. Form of aspect and move ment became a law of creation. Even the unstable elements obeyed it. The waters projected themselves into bil lows, currents and fountains, and the aeriform waves of the “ upper deep ” were poured forth in as certain deve lopments. To everything a manner was awarded, by which it was to he recognised, and through which it was to be studied. Another world was then called into being,—a universe ot thought, sentiment, fancy and feeling, a human world. And in this, too, ex ternal forms were assumed, and man ner became a characteristic of mortals. The same law obtains in the spheres of mind and matter; but how differently displayed! Since the first song of the stars, the heavens have worn the same successive drapery, the earth has changed not her four familiar robes. The winds have raised the billows into mountains, or dallied with the rose-leaves. In all things has nature been variable, yet the same—ever presenting a well-known, though ever varying feature. She knows not the law of fashion. She is inexpert in artificial diplomacy. But manner, among human beings, is sub ject to the modifications of time and place; it can be made subservient to the will. In its very nature, manner is a means, and greatly do those err who make it an end. Yet are there Individuals by whom this adjunctive, secondary, exponent principle is su premely relied on. There are those who manage to glide along through the world by a kind of mannered leger demain, who have acquired their man ner in the ancient school of Proteus, and by their singular dexterity in ever imparting the required impression, from moment to moment, tail not in their social objects. There is a species of shufflers who succeed, by virtue of an off-hand manner, which mankind, in general, are content to yield to The most popular class is, doubtless, that which reduces Chesterfield to practice, on principle, and with veritable punc tilio. These devote*- v i lean on a bro ken reed. Their faith in manner is too perfect. W ith wonder did I once hear a man of sense console himself for the unprincipled conduct of Ins son, by de claring that “through all he had pre served his manners.” When tact at mere verbal rhyming constitutes a poet, musical memory a composer, or taste in colours a painter, then may we be lieve that manners will make a man, for, “He— never meant him for a passive thing, That can lie struck and hammered out to suit Another s taste and fancy.” 1 here is a policy in manner. I have heard one not inexperienced in the pur suit of fame, give it his earnest support, as being the surest passport to absolute and brilliant success. And who that has been chained for hours, as by en chantment, with the grace and elegance ot an orator, and then, in solitude, re viewed his words, and recalled not a single original and impressive idea, has not realized this? It is wonderful how a skilful mannerist can deceive the world as to his acquirements and mo tives. I have at this moment in my mind’s eye the comely figure of an in dividual who has attained no undesira ble elevation in the world of letters, whose manner is so profound and scho lar-like, so redolent of the otium cvm tlignitate , that it has earned him the cognomen of the learned. A Greek name is inscribed upon his cane, and a Latin adage upon his tongue s end. lie yields not to familiar discourse, nor manifests an interest in aught save save what is classical. In company with scholars he is silent, seemingly from abstraction; in the society of the uninitiated he speaks much, apparently to relieve the exuberance of his acqui sitions : the one class attempt not to examine his pretensions, from a horror (natural to high minds) of pedantic display; the other, awe-struck, yield him reverence. Now, a few years since ; but 1 will not betray him. Suffice it to say that the first time the magnificence of his manner is invaded the commanding frost-work of his reputation will melt in air. We habitually suspect the truthfulness of a prominent manner. If, in the pre sence of an individual, he induces us to think continually of his manner and forget himself, we are quickly aware of our want of affinity. There is no de light in his fellowship. Os all forbid ding inventions, an assumed manner is the most effectual. We instinctively anticipate the forthcoming scene behind our backs. Some masterly delineation of the Duke of Gloster, in the act of hurling away the prayer book occurs tons. We are ill at ease; we seem to hear the laugh and witness the mi micry which is to occur when the door has closed upon our exit. We discern beyond the smile and the honeyed word, and are sickened at the self created hollowness of the human heart. We have admirable provisions in our civil code for the crimes of perjury and over-reaching. A thrice heavy penalty should fall upon him convicted of deli berately and habitually practising upon mankind, through the agency of a pre assumed politic manner. Manner is the universal language, the grand cir culating medium ; and should not the attempt to counterfeit the genuine na tive stamped coin be made penal ? There are no greater forgers in the uni verse than cunning mannerists. Their whole lives are false. The loveliest of human attributes, the beautiful, the winning virtue of sincerity, abides not with them. They have abjured the profession of humanity. They have become players, with none of the ideal interest and singleness of purpose which may belong to the legitimate followers of Thespis. The wearisome rehearsals, the guarded conduct, the oppressive sense of having a part to play, the struggles between the real man and the assumed character, all press upon and disturb them; and there are for them no refreshing returns to nature, no blissful interludes in the trying drama, for habit has bound them to the task and policy goads them on. There is a poignancy in manner. 1 have often heard a friend describe the effect produced at a well-surrounded dinner table, by the silence of a gen tleman to whom one of the company, in a very audible voice, had addressed an impertinent question. The tacit re buke was most keenly felt; it was more effectual than a public reprimand, and yet how entirely devoid of irrational severity. Similar results may be ef fected through expert application of manner. An instance occurs among the innumerable anecdotes related of John Randolph. A young aspirant for congressional fame saw fit, in his mai den speech, to give proof of his bold ness and eloquence by a long and abu sive attack upon the eccentric member from Virginia. At the conclusion of the young orator’s voluminous address the hero of Roanoke arose, and stretch ing his long, nervous arm towards the seat of the complacent youth, with a half-inquiring, half-contemptuous look, thus replied: “Mr. Speaker, who’s that?” There was a sarcastic bitter ness in his manner, under which the offender quailed. 1 was never more impressed with the poignant sting mere manner can inflict than on one occasion when abroad. Soon after day-break, on a misty morning, the steamboat which had brought us from Naples dropped anchor in the port of Leghorn. We waited with great impatience the arrival of the permit to land from the Board of Health. At length, under standing it had been received, 1 joined a party of the passengers and entered one of the boats which surrounded us. We were distant from the shore about an eighth of a mile. The wind was blowing a gale and the sea running very high. We had reached about the middle of the intervening space, and were beginning to rejoice at the pros pect of a comfortable shelter, when the health-ofiicer, from the steamboat, hailed our boatman, ordering him, upon his peril, not to proceed. It seemed some form had been omitted, and we were kept in the rain, and among the dashing billows, for more than half an hour. Thoroughly vexed at the offi cer’s conduct, we began at last to ap proach the quay, cold, wet and com fortless. Various measures were sug gested for bringing him to punishment. An Englishman begged that we would leave it to him, assuring us he was well acquainted with the temperament of the people. Soon after the official barge approached, and in the prow sat our enemy, with that air of superiority characteristic of underlings. With much curiosity we awaited the move ments of our British companion. To our astonishment, he doffed his hat and said, addressing the officer, “Your name sir, if you please.” The rowers of the barge slackened their oars and gazed curiously upon their commander. His face was suffused with scarlet. “My name ! my name !” he muttered fiercely, and impatiently waving to the oarsmen they soon shot rapidly away. We looked to the English gentleman for an explanation. “ Gentlemen,” said he, “be assured I have wounded him to the quick. If 1 had parleyed with him his pride would have been grati fied ; but by asking in a ceremonious planner for his name, in the presence of his men, as if we disdained to do less than complain to his superior, I have both mortified and alarmed him. The formality of my manner has pun ished him more than words could pos sibly do.” And so it proved: for on landing we found him pacing the wharf and uttering his indignation and fears violently, while ample apologies were SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. offered us from all quarters. 1 after wards discovered that to bandy words with the lower class of Italy was but to waste ones breath and subject the patience to a great trial—to meet them on their own ground and give them the advantage which the fluency of their language affords. They must be ad dressed by the language of manner, to which they are peculiarly susceptible. There is a power in manner. How finely Byron describes, in the bearing of Conrad. “ that commanding art That dazzles, leads, yet chills the vulgar heart.” Who that is susceptible to nature will deny that the sway of manner con sists in its truth ? We speak of the impressive dignity of some of the In dian tribes; kings might strive to imi tate it in vain. It is the gift of nature, the ennobling grace of the forest lords. The companionship of genius, when do we most perfectly realize it? When enthusiasm has led the gifted mind into such an outpouring that manner is for gotten, and every look and movement is instinct with soul. In aged persons and children —those who have lived too long to meditate effect, and those who as yet listen only to the inward oracle — we most frequently see the perfect spell of manner. What a world of allure ment is involved in the common phrase, an unaffected manner! Nothing is so delightful as what is spontaneous. A frank expression of sentiment, a native manner, captivate : thrice happy when the latter is habitual. Memnon’s image imparted not its mysterious strains ex cept at the touch of the sunbeams, nor will manner yield its true witchery from any inspiration but that of the soul. fur tjjr From the Nodi British Review. GEOLOGY. Os all the studies which relate to the material universe, there is none, perhaps, which appeals so powerfully to our senses, or which comes into such close and immediate contact with our wants and enjoyments, as that of geo logy. In our hourly walks, whether on business or for pleasure, we tread with heedless step upon the apparently un interesting objects which it embraces ; but could we rightly interrogate the rounded pebble at our feet, it would read us an exciting chapter on the his tory of primeval times, and would tell us of the convulsions by which it was wrenched from its parent rock, and of the floods by which it was abraded, and transported to its present humble locality. In our visit to the pictur esque and the sublime in nature, we are brought into closer proximity to the more interesting phenomena of geology. In the precipices which pro tect our rock-girt shores, which flank our mountain glens, or which variegate our lowland valleys, and in the shape less fragments at their base, which the lichen colors, and round which the ivy twines, we see the remnants of uplif ted and shattered beds, which once re posed in peace at the bottom of the ocean. Nor does the rounded boulder, which would have defied the lapidary’s wheel of the Giant Age, give forth a less oracular response from its grave of clay, or from its lair of sand. Float ed by ice from some Alpine summit, or hurried along in torrents of mud, and floods of water, it may have tra versed a quarter of the globe, amid the crash of falling forests, and the death shrieks of the noble animals which they sheltered. The mountain range too, with its catacombs below, along which the earthquake transmits its ter rific sounds, reminds us of the mighty power by which it was upheaved;— while the lofty peak, with its cap of ice, or its nostrils of fire, places in our view, the tremendous agencies which have been at work beneath us. But it is not merely amid the powers of external nature that the once hidden things of the Earth are presented to our view. Our temples and our pala ces are formed from the rocks of a primeval age ; bearing the very ripple marks of a Pre-Adamite ocean, — grooved by the passage of the once moving boulder, and embosoming the relics of ancient life, and the plants by which it was sustained. Our dwellings, too, are ornamented with the variega ted limestones —the indurated tombs of moluscous life—and our apartments heated with the carbon of primeval for ests, and lighted with the gaseous ele ments which it confines. The obelisk of granite, and the colossal bronze which transmit to future ages the deeds of the hero and the sage, are equally the reproduction of the Earth’s prolific womb; and from the green bod of the ocean has been raised the pure and spotless marble, to mould the divine lineaments of beatuy, and perpetuate the expressions of intellectual power. From a remoter age, and a still greater depth, the primary and secondary rocks have yielded a rich tribute to the chap let of rank, and to the processes of art, The diamond and the sapphire, while they shine in the royal diadem, and in the imperial sceptre, are invaluable in struments in the hands of the artizan ; and the ruby and the topaz, and the emerald and the Chrysoberyl, have been scattered from the jewel caskets of our Mother Earth, to please the eye, and to gratify the vanity of her children. TERRESTIAL MAGN ETISM. Some interesting investigations in terrestial magnetism, made by Pro fessor Norton, of Delaware College, have recently been communicated to the American Journal of Science, which are of sufficient importance and interest to have a more widely extend ed notice. The theory of terrestial magnetism embraced in the communi cation, is new. According to it, every particular of matter at the surface, of the earth, and to a certain depth be low it, is endued with a magnetic force acting like the magnetic force of an electric current, transversely to the ideal line connecting the particle with the magnetic needle ; the intensity of which is proportioned to the tempera ture of the particle. This theory, says a writer, proves to be adequate to the explanation of all the phenomena of the general action of the earth upon the magnetic needles— and serves also with the computation, with a very close approximation to the truth of the direction of the needle, and of the intensity of the force acting upon it, over all the parts of the earth. It has also achieved the signal triumphs of furnishing the first rational physical explanation of all the daily variations that occur in the earth’s magnetic ac tion. by tracing them to the daily va riations that occur in the temperature and humidity of the earth’s surface. These investigations reveal the exis tence of unsuspected and very interest ing relations between the thermal and magnetic state of the earth's surface, and show that the daily changes which take place in the action of the earth upon the magnetic needle proceed “pari pass?/” with the meteorological chan ges that occur. It is certainly a novel and beautiful result that, in the disturbed movements and changes and force of a delicately poised magnetic needle, we can read the story at the same time of each pass ing change of temperature of the warm dew that steals noiselessly down at night, and of the rain that falls to rise again in invisible vapor at the awaken ing touch of the rays of the sun. In making these discoveries, Prof. Norton throws a flood of light upon much that has always been enveloped in the dark ness of mystery. Wokd Types.— Mr. J. 11. Tobitt, a practical printer, has succeeded in in troducing into his establishment, No. 9 Spruce st., the use of word types. That is, he causes such words as the, and, in, it, to, and all the most com mon syllables to be cast on one body. By this method, the printer, instead of picking up three types to form the word and, takes up but one. The idea is not new, though Mr. Tobitt is the first who has brought it to practical use in this city. He states that a very considerable saving of time and labor is effected thereby.— Lit. American. FACTS WORTH KNOWING. Lewenhoeck saw hundreds of ani maleula* in the space of a grain of sand, and he says ten thousand; but it is now suspected that he saw the ultimate motions of the atoms of gas, and not organized beings. A drop of water contains hundreds, all in extreme ac tivity, swimming or crawling with free dom and purpose. They appear to subsist on the atoms of the infusion, and some prey on others. A pacha, often spelt bashaw, is the governor of a province or city under the grand seignor. Those who are pri vileged to carry the tails of their hor ses in their standards are called pachas with three tails, and others,pachas with two tails. They are local sovereigns and despotic tyrants; but the courts of law. under the Cadi, are independent of them. Australasia, a fifth division of the earth’s surface, includes the continent of New Holland, or New South Wales, Van Dieman’s Land, New Guinea, New Britain, New Zealand, &c., mostly dis covered within two centuries. New Holland was first visited at. Hartegh’s Island, in 101(5, by a Dutch vessel, and afterwards explored by others of that nation. The wings of insects afford an im mense variety of interesting and beau tiful objects. Some are covered with scales, as in the butterfly tribe; some are adorned with fringes of leathers, and the ribs or veins are also feathered, as in the gnat family, and even these scales and feathers are ribbed and flu ted in a variety of ways. Bones are composed of gelatinous fibres in net-work, and of earthy salts, as phosphate, carbonate and sulphate of lime. The gelatine prevails in young animals, and hence their bones are more flexible. Ossification com mences at the centres. Bones have blood-vessels. The stomach converts food into a pulp called chyme, and passing into the intestines bile converts it into a milky substance called chyle, in which state the lacteal absorbents convey it to the blood near the heart, through which it passes to the lungs and be comes blood. Dorse power in steam engines is calculated as the power which would raise 33,000 pounds a foot high in a minute, or 00 pounds at the rate of four miles an hour. Some experimen talists estimate it at one-third less, but the above is adopted by most theoreti cal writers. There are no grounds for the terror inspired by earwigs. No medical case is recorded of mischief from them, and oil and brandy would instantly kill or expel them; while they in no case penetrate beyond the external orifice. A large onion, planted so near a rosebush as to touch its roots, will greatly increase the odour of its flow ers; and the water distilled from such roses is far superior in flavour to other rosewater. The mahogany tree is a native of Cuba, Jamaica, &c., and grows from (50 to 100 feet high, with deep green foliage, orange-coloured flowers, and fruit the size of a large egg. Chronologists distinguish dates and epochs by letters, as A.M., Anno Mmi di; A.C. Ante Christi, or B.C. Before Christ; and A.D. Anno Domini. A swarm of bees contains from 10,000 to 20,000 in a natural state, and from 30,000 to 40,000 in a hive. The Aranea avicularia is a spider, large enough to catch and kill small birds. 51 dpohlrt nf piuirlj. PUNCH’S POLICE. A VERY MELANCHOLY CASE. Yesterday a gentleman of the name of Thomas Carlyle was brought before Mi-. Punch, charged with being unable to take care of his own literary repu tation —a very first-rate reputation until a few months past —but now, in con sequence of the reckless and alarming conduct of the accused, in a most dan gerous condition; indeed, in the opin ion of very competent authorities, fast sinking. The office was crowded by many dis tinguished persons, all ot them mani festing the most tender anxiety towards the accused, who, however, did not seem to feel the seriousness of his situ ation; but, on the contrary, with folded arms and determined expression of vi sage, called the worthy magistrate (Mr. Punch) a “windbag,” a “serf of flun keydom,” and “an ape of the Dead Sea.” John Nokes, a policeman with a lite rary turn, proved that he had long known the doings of the accused.— Witness first became acquainted with him through his “ Life of Schiller,” a work done in the very best and decent est manner, in which no offence what ever was committed against the peo ple's English; for he, John Nokes, had an idea that English should be called either “king's” or “queen’s,” but em phatically “ the people’s English.” Had since known the accused through “Sar tor Resartus, “The French Revolu tion.” “Past and Present,” and “Oliver Cromwell.” From time to time, as he went on, witness had marked with con siderable anxiety, an increasing wild ness, a daring eccentricity of manner in the doings of the accused, frequently observing that he delighted to crack and dislocate the joints of language, and to melt down and alloy sterling English into nothing better than German silver. Nevertheless, witness did not believe the reputation of the accused in any positive danger, until some three or four months back, when he detected him running wildly up and down the pages of “ Frazer’s Magazine,” pelting all sorts of gibberish at the heads of Ja maica niggars—fantastically reproach ing them for being “ up to the ears, con tent in pumpkins, when they should work for sugar and spices” for their white masters—threatening them with the whip, and, in a word, dealing in language only dear to the heart—wit ness meant pockets—of Yankee slave owners and Brazilian planters. Since then, witness had named his suspicions to several most respectable publishers, warning them to have an eye upon the offender. Peter Williams, teacher at the Lamb and-Flag Ragged School, deposed that he had purchased two numbers of a work by the accused, called “ Latter- Day-Pamphlets.” The first number appeared to him (witness) to develope rabid symptoms —but in the second, in Model Prisons, there was nothing in it but barking and froth. (Here several passages were read that fully bore out the opinion of the witness; passages which created a melancholy sensation in court, many persons sighing deeply, and in more than one instance dropping “some natural tears.”) Witness did not believe it consistent with public safety that, in his present temper, the accused should lie trusted with pen-and ink. If permitted the use of such dan gerous weapons he would —until reco vered from his present indisposition— inevitably inflict upon his reputation a mischief from which it could not re cover. As it was, witness considered it far from safe. Mr. Punch asked the accused if he had anything to say; whereupon ac cused, with a withering smile, replied: “Preternatural Eternal Oceans” — “ Inhuman Humanitarians”—“ Eider down Philanthropy ”—“Wide-reverbe rating Cant"—“Work Sans Holiday” —“Three Cheers more, and Eternal, Inimitable, and Antipodean Fraternity” —“Pumkindom, Flunkeydom, Fools dom, and Pen-and-Inkdom!” Mr. Punch observed, this was a mel ancholy case. lie could not release the accused, unless upon good and suf ficient surety. Whereupon two gentle men—publishers of the first respecta bilitv —declared themselves willing to be bound, that accused should not, un til in a more healthful frame of mind, be allowed the use of paper and goose quills. It is believed that if accused again offend, the whole body of publishers will insist upon his compulsory silence. Let us, however, hope better things. TIME OUT OF MIND. We really cannot tell what has come lately to some of the principal Clocks of London. Since St. Clements set the bad example of irregularity some four or five years ago, there lias been a sort of epidemic prevailing among many of the principal time-pieces of the Metro polis. A month or so back, it was the Royal Exchange that showed symp toms of ill-timed eccentricity, and now we regret to hear of that highly-respect ed member of the Horological Society, the Asylum (’lock in the Westminster Road, having turned off the whole of its hands for the last fortnight. J’he absence of the hands cannot be the re sult of a strike, for no striking has been observed by the inhabitants. The works are, of course, completely stopt. and the supposition is, that the Clock had, in a moment of forgetfulness, been wound up to a pitch of intensity which has proved fatal to its proper equilibrium. Whatever may be the cause, we can only deplore the effect, for this (’lock, which seemed always to have the game in its hands, is at pre sent without any hands whatever. NOTHING LIKE LEATHER. By the latest advices from California, we learn that the articles in which it is most judicious to speculate, are jack boots, and that a horse-guard, therefore, emigrating in his regimental chaussure, with his boots on his legs, would have a little fortune on his hands if he felt himself disposed to get the articles dis posed of. It seems that the slushy and quag miry state of the diggings, necessitates the use of the most substantial protec tion to the feet and legs; nor can we be surprised that there is much mud and dirt to be gone through in the search after filthy lucre. In more civilized nations, it is indis pensable that the mere money-hunter should have a strong, coarse understand ing, just as in California it is the thick ness of the boot that aids one in the pursuit of booty. It is evident that a parcel of pumps would be of no use whatever at the dig gings; and that as in boots, so in men— the jack of the one and the knave of the other, will be most suited to Cali fornia. _ ■ ♦ ■- Misrepresenting Themselves —The French shop-keepers are finding fault already with the fact of so many So cialists being returned for Paris.

CAUTION. —Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil lott’s style of Label, his mode of putting up his Pens, and also Desionati.no Numbers, he desires to give the following NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil lott’s Pens have a sac simile of his signature on the reverse side. None other are genuine. This caution espe cially refers to his original No. 303, the great popularity of which ha caused it to be imitated, ami the number adopt ed by a host of pretended makers. Joseph Gillott would further advise the public that, in all cases where his Numbers and the phraseology of his Labels are adopted by the parties above alluded to, the Pens are not made by hint, although asserted to be. An experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to bring his Steel Peas to the highest state ok perfec tion, and the liberal patronage which he has long enjoyed at the hands of theAmerican public,will incite him to con. tinned exertion to maintain the favor which he has ac quired.
