MY SISTER.
Beneath the spreading Linden tree,
My little sister sleeps;
No marble stone is at her head,
And no eye above her weeps;
Long since they dried their tears lor her,
For long ago she died,
And all forgot her—where she lies,
Save the flowers that grow beside.
And yet not all—when twilight brings,
The hour of silent thought;
Then oft sweet memories of her.
With fancy’s scenes are wrought ;
The changeful years that since have thrown
Their shadows over me ;
While she so peacefully has slept
Beneath the Linden 1 ree.
Yes—l remember dimly
Os the smile in her blue eye,
Os her cherub brow so beautiful,—
How I thought it bliss to die ;
So calm her little hands were crossed
Upon her sinless breast,
And with so sweet a smile she passed
Into her dreamless rest.
There were roses in her coffin,
And fresh buds in her hand,
When they lifted me to see her.
But I could not understand
Why they bore her ’neath the Linden,
Where its waving shadow lay,
And lowered her into the ground,
That smiling summer day.
Ere the light of earthly wisdom,
Upon her soul could dawn,
’Twas given to the angels ,
To lead the young mind on,
To the paths of heavenly knowledge,
That to the blest are known,
And the bud that faded here on earth
In Heaven has fully blown.
And I do not wish that she had lived
To share the joys of earth,
To weep with me in sorrow,
Or to mingle in my mirth,
For there is naught that earth can give
That seems as blest to me,
As the dreams of that young sleeper
Beneath the Linden Tree.

A GREYBEARD’S CAROL.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.
Alack-a-day ! 1 knew a lay
Which pleased me when a boy :
But ali in vain’s essay again
To wake its tones of joy.
How oft the burden of its rhymes
Brought lightness to my brow :
I heard it sung a thousand times—
I—quite forget it now !
It told of maids in forest glades.
And of the greenwood wild ;
Os days of Spring, and many a thing
That charms a village child :
And when outside our cottage door
I sang the merry song,
The birds would chirp upon the thatch
Above me, all day long.
The world seems to be growing old—
Or—elsewise—7 decline;
A story one need not be told,
With feelings matched to mine :
For when remembrance fails the mind,
Os things the heart would set
A store upon, we leave behind
But little to regret.

Bees Prognosticators of the
Weather. —Mr. J. A. Payne, author
of the Bee Keepers s Guide , says : —]
am not aware that bees have ever been
placed in the list of those creatures
which are said to foretell the changes of
weather, as many animals of the feath
ered and insect tribes are ; but in my
opinion they stand foremost of the
weather-wise. A nice observer, by
looking at them in the early morning,
during the working season, will very
soon be able to form an opinion as to
what the day will be, and that almost
to a certainty; for they will sometimes
appear sluggish and inactive, although
the morning is very bright and show
ing every appearance for a fine day;
but the sun soon becomes clouded, and
rain follows. And, again, the morning
may be dull and cloudy, and sometimes
rain may be falling, when they may be
observed going out inconsiderable num
bers ; and as sure as this is seen, the
day becomes bright and fair.
\ ast Hydraulic Press. —The larg
est ot the Bramah’s hydraulic presses,
(the hoisting apparatus in the construc
tion ot the Britannia railway bridge,)
is a noble instrument. It has a cylin
der eleven inches thick, with a piston
or ram twenty inches in diameter, and
the lift a span of six feet. The weight
of the cylinder is sixteen tons. This
one alone has power enough to lift the
whole, a weight, it is estimated, equiv
alent to that of 30,000 men. It would
spout the water pressed into its cylin
der to a height of nearly 20,000 feet,
according to Mr. Clark, the engineeer,
or more than five times the height of
Snowden, or 5,000 feet higher than
Mont Blanc. And yet, any one man
can “put a hook into the nose of this
leviathan,’ and, alone with him, with
the utmost facility and precision, guide
and control his stupendous action.
Ampo. —Ampo, or Talma ainpo, is
an earthy substance found at Sarna
rang and Java, at a height of four thou
sand feet above the sea, solid and yet
plastic. It is kneaded, formed into
small rolls, and dried over a charcoal
fire, and then used as food. These rolls
are eaten with avidity by the natives,
and deemed a great delicacy. Ehren
berg has examined this earthy sub
stance, and has found it to consist of
polygastrics and lithophyta.
New’ Powers. —An hydraulic grav
itation engine, to supersede steam as a
motive power, has been projected by a
Southampton mechanician, a Mr. Jack
son. Once started, it is said, it will go
for six months without any sensible
wearing of the material. A model is
to be submitted to the Admiralty. A
metropolitan inventor proposes to as
sist the action of small locomotive or
steam engines by a large wheel,
with sliding weights and leverage so ar
ranged as of themselves to produce a
power of progression, only requiring
the aid of a very small engine to over
come the dead points, where the weights
have to be raised in their most disad
vantageous position while generating
an auxiliary power in re-descent.—

Imitation of Mahogany. —Any w r ood
ol a close grain may be made perfect
ly to imitate mahogany, by the follow
ing trench process : Let the surface be
planed smooth, and then rubbed with
a solution of nitrous acid. Then ap
ply, with a soft brush, the following
mixture : one ounce of dragon’s blood,
dissolved in about a pint of spirits of
w ine, and with the addition of a third
of an ounce of carbonate of soda, mix
ed and filtered. When the polish di
minishes in brilliancy, it may be res
tored by the use of a little cold-drawn
linseed oil. Dragon’s blood, as most
of our readers know, is a resin, obtain
ed bv incision from certain tropical
plants, and is sold at the druggists, to
the varnishers and marble stainers. —
The method is extensively adopted in
France, and might be well adopted in
the United States, for the interior dec
orations of our dwellings.

French and English Policemen.—
The Englishman is as laconic as an elec
tric telegraph’s message. The French
man is as lengthy and as pompous as an
American President’s message. Ob
serve the difference in the two follow
ing expressive examples.
The English Policeman says briefly
and sharply, “Move on there.”
The French Policeman takes off his
hat and says in the blandest manner,
“Messieurs, il faut que je vous prie (le
ne pas empeecher la circulation .”
The above polite little order, or en
treaty rather, will be found in the Paris
correspondence of the Times on the oc
sion of the late Tree of Liberty riots.
The infuriated mob took off’ their hats,
bowed, and instantly retired.
Imagine Policemen X. addressed an
English mob in the following terms:
“ Gentlemen, I should esteem it a
personal favour if you would be kind
enough to disperse, for you may not
be aware that by loitering here you are
greatly impeding the general circula
tion.”
We wonder if it would have the
same effect as, “Now, Gents, move on.”
What’s in —a Livery? —The box
keepers at the Olympic Theatre are
dressed in handsome liveries. A
nervous old gentleman who went to
see Ariadne the other evening, was
greatly alarmed at their appearance,
and, when the box-keeper asked him
for his ticket, he drew him aside, and
said, after great hesitation, “My name
is Okkidge, but I must beg you will not
announce it.” He was evidently la
bouring under the fear that, the mo
ment the door of the dress circle was
opened, the servant would bawl out, in
the loudest voice, “Mr. and Airs. Or
ridge!” in the same way that gusts are
announced at evening party.
No Accounting for Taste.— We
hope that in the next edition of the
Physiologie de Gout , some notice will
be taken of the following advertise
ment, which appeared a few days ago
in the Times :
“ A Married Gentleman, whose business re
quires him to live near the Post Office, would
have no objection to take charge of a ware
house in the city. As money is not an object,
he would undertake it on very reasonable
terms. Unexceptionable reference will be
given.”
Now, in the name of common sense,
we would inquire what can be the pe
culiar attraction to this Married Gen
tleman of a “Warehouse in the City,”
that he should be so desirous of look
ing after it. We might imagine that
pecuniary considerations supplied a
sufficient inducement, were it not that
he expressly repudiates all mercenary
motives by distinctly alleging that
“money is not an object” with him.
It is not very complimentary to the
wife of the Married Gentleman, that
he should yearn for a Warehouse in
which to while away his leisure hours.
He is perhaps of a contemplative turn
of mind, and regards a Warehouse as
a place well adapted for meditation
after office hours, when, to use the lan
guage of the poet:
“ Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber’s chains have bound him,
Lett there without a light,
With goods and boxes round him :
The stools and chairs,
The sundry wares,
Os solitude the token ;
Leave him alone,
The clerks all gone,
By nought the silence broken.
For an individual, sentimentally dis
posed, and anxious to do a bit of Ma
rius over the ruins of Carthage, after
business hours, the run of a deserted
Warehouse in the city, after dark, may
be a desirable investment of his leisure.
Hint to Water Companies.— lt has
been calculated that the Metropolis
might be supplied with many thousands
of gallons of water obtained by being
separated from the London milk. If
this be true, whatever Dr. Buckland
may say, a pretty abundant source of
water supply exists in the chalk forma
tion.
Wit and Wisdon in the House of
Lords.—“ Sapienza,” gentlemen of the
rural districts, is Italian for wisdom. It
is also the name of an island concerned
in the squabble between our Govern
ment and Greece. Now, you will be
enabled to perceive the force of the
subjoined remark which the Earl of
Aberdeen, commenting on Admiral
Parker’s demonstration at Athens, is
reported to have made in the House of
Lords. His Lordship
“ Did not mean to deny that it might be bet
ter for our Government to be in possession of
Sapienza ; but even wisdom ought only to be
obtained by legitimate means.”
This is rather a vivid flash of that
mild merriment that is wont to set the
Peers in a titter. A faint coruscation
shows brightly in a dark place. Lord
Aberdeen is a “wit among Lords,” and
a pretty respectable commoner among
wits. It is a pity that he did not go
on while he was in the vein, and say
that Lord Palmerston was at sea in the
Piraeus, or would get into a mess by
meddling with Greece. Indeed, our
foreign policy in general is so absurd in
itself, that the noble Lord might, with
out any impropriety, have turned all
its points into puns, and converted
every one of its questions into conun
drums.
“ You/, en avez Menti. ” The
French papers of last week tell us that
the above words, uttered in the Cham
ber by M. Leo De la Borde, “ caused
a great sensation.” We cannot but
wonder at this. Considering that the
courtesy is flung at somebody’s head
about once a week, it drily show s that
the French, at least, are not a people of
habit.”
An old question settled at last. —
Who is Miles’ Bov ?
Mr. Banvard, Air. Bonomi, and Mr.
Brees, are clearly “Three Miles’ Boys,”
from the fact of their Panoramas all
running that distance.

LANGUAGE of OLD CLOTHES.
Now, between ourselves, all these
things, hats, caps, breeches, long-shorts,
wooden shoes, carter s frocks, and-so
forths, have a meaning in them; but a
meaning very apt to be overlooked by
the multitude.
While they indicate a nationality
never to be mistaken, they constitute
of themselves a law of association which
never dies out, so long as a single frag
ment or recollection of that costume is
preserved. Bed-quilts are family re
cords ; every bit of colored cloth has its
own dear household history —of mar
riage, or christening, or death. Baby
clothes, being always made up of some
thing left, are full of pleasant memo
ries and queer suggestions. An old
fashioned bonnet may often stand for
the memoirs of a whole neighborhood
—as knots tied on a string once told
the history of tne Montezumas, and still
constitute the imperishable records of a
North American savage. I nder this
reverential aspect, a pair of old breeches
may become a sort of map, and every
patch a bit of unquestionable autobiog
raphy ; so that, with a little coaxing,
and a little care, and little good hus
bandry, by the help of our friend Yat
temare, and his new system of ex
changes,every little neighborhood might
have its own circulating library—of old
clothes ; if it could but go about the
matter with downright seriousness.—
Ask Alargaret Fuller, la contessa, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, or the young gentle
man whose poetry “ hath the smell of
childhood” in it; or the bleached and
thatched editor, who advertises himself
and his paper by going about the streets
slipshod, with “ one stockin’ off and one
stockin’ on,” like that interesting youth
mentioned in Mother Goose, as “my
son John, who went to bed with his
breeches on,” if all these things are not
true. —John Neal.
WHAT IS DIRT?
Old Doctor Cooper, used to say to
his students, “ Don’t be afraid of a lit
tle dirt, young gentlemen. What is
dirt ? Why nothing at all offensive,
when chemically viewed. Rub a little
alkali upon that ‘ dirty grease spot’ on
your coat, and it undergoes a chemical
change and becomes soap. Now rub
it with a little water and it disappears;
it is neither grease, soap, water, nor
dirt. ‘ That is not a very odorous pile
of dirt,’ you observe there. Well, scat
ter a little gypsum over it and it is no
longer dirty. Everything you call dirt,
is worthy your notice as students of
chemistry. Analyse it! Analyse it!
It will all separate into very clean ele
ments.
“ Dirt makes corn, corn makes bread
and meat, and that makes a very sweet
young lady that 1 saw one of you kiss
ing last night. So after all you were
kissing dirt—particularly if she whitens
her skin wtth chalk or fuller’s earth.—
There is no telling, young gentlemen,
what is dirt. Though I must say that
rubbing such stuff’ upon the beautiful
skin of a young lady is a dirty practice.
‘ Pearl powder,’ 1 think is made of bis
muth—nothing but dirt.”
Papier-Mache is the name given to
articles manufactured of the pulp of pa
per, or of old paper ground up into a
pulp, bleached, if necessary, and mould
ed into various forms. This article has
lately been used upon an extentive scale
for the manufacture of mouldings, ro
settes, and other architectural orna
ments ; pilasters, capitals, and even fig
ures as large as life,have also been made
of it. It is lighter, more durable, and
less brittle and liable to damage than
plaster, and admits of being colored,
gilt, or otherwise ornamented. Anoth
er article goes under the same name
which is more like paste-board, consist
ing of sheets of paper pasted or glued
and powerfully pressed together, so as
to acquire, when dry, the hardness of
board, and yet to admit, while moist,
of curvature and flexure; tea-trays,
waiters, snuff-boxes and similar articles
are thus prepared, and afterwards care
fully covered by japan or other var
nishes, and often beautifully ornamen
ted by figures or landscapes and other
devices, &c., occasionally inlaid with
mother of pearl. A mixture of sulphate
of iron, quicklime and glue, or white
of an egg, with the pulp for papier
mache, renders it to a greater extent
water proof.
WOMEN AT WASHINGTON.
An observing letter writer at Wash
ington, writing to a New York paper,
makes the following truthful remarks:
—The compliment paid to the native
modesty of our southern ladies by a
northern pen, is not the less flattering
because it is true. No one who has
spent a winter at Washington, will fail
to recognize the truthfulness of the pic
ture here drawn of the lady lobby mem
bers, who throng the galleries of both
Houses of Congress, always the great
adornment of the chambers, though
sometimes to the exceeding annoyance
of the ungallant of the masculine sex,
who do not feel themselves re-paid for
the loss of a good seat by the compla
cent smile of the conscious beauty to
whom he is compelled to relinquish it.
“ A’resident can perceive at < nice,wheth
er a fair girl has been long at Wash
ington, by her manner. Anew comer,
when attended by a gentleman to pub
lic places —such as Congres, parties,
theatres, serenades, panoramas—is shy,
and somewhat reserved. Wait until
she has been here some time, and her
tactics are entirely changed. She is no
longer afraid, but will nestle up to her
companion like a young pigeon to her
mate, and look up into his eyes with an
expression in her own that is no less be
witching than indescribable. When
she is walking with her lover or escort,
she allows him to poke her along the
avenue, his elbows in her side, without
the least show of resistance or annoy
ance. These are old stagers. ’Tis not
so with newcomers. The latter won’t
stand these things from casual acquaint
ances, or even from sweet-hearts. The
great gathering places for strange la
dies, both young and old, are the gal
leries of the two houses of Congress.—
Washington permanent ladies, are fond
of exhibiting themselves there, and of
being squeezed in the most approved
style. A modest young lady will nev
er go twice to the gallery of the Senate;
once will do. It is altogether coming
too close quarters with the male sex,
for either her comfort or delicacy. Even
the delight of hearing Clay, Webster,
or Houston, make a speech is not a
sufficient inducement for her to toe the
mark a second time. A southern girl
is rarely seen in the ladies’ gallery of
the United States Senate. She is nev
er seen there twice. Many young la
dies go there every day, when the Sen
ate sits. Thej’ want to be seen, and
don't mind squeezing; they are used
to it, and like it amazingly. There are
whole families that will crowd into that
Senate gallery when it is a perfect jam,
if some popular orator is speaking, and
after dislodging a score men from their
seats, will take their places; hut no
sooner is the confusion somewhat sub
sided, when they rise like a bevy of
quails, and take wing to some other
part of the capitol, as the Supreme
Court, or House, where their advent is
equally annoying.

THE ANNOYER.
[The original of this everybody knows. The
parody, in ‘ Holden’s Magazine,’ is unsurpassed
in its way.]
“ Common as light is love,
And its familiar voice wearies not.” — Shelley.
Love knoweth everybody’s house.
And every human haunt,
And comes, unbidden everywhere.
Like people we don’t want.
The turnpike roads, and little creeks,
’ Are written with Love’s words,
And you hear his voice like a thousand bricks,
In the lowing of the herds.
He peeps into the teamster’s heart,
From his Buena Vista’s rim,
And the cracking whips of many men
Can never frighten him.
He’ll come to his cart in the weary night,
When he’s dreaming of his craft;
And he’ll float to his eye in the morning light,
Like a man on a river raft.
He hears the sound of the cooper’s adze,
And makes him, too, his dupe,
For he sighs in his ear from the shaving pile,
As he hammers on the hoop.
The little girl, the beardless boy,
The men that walk or stand,
He will get them all in his mighty arms
Like the grasp of your very hand.
She shoemaker bangs above his bench,
And ponders his shining awl,
For Love is under the lap-stone hid,
And a spell is on the wall.
It heaves the sole where he drives the pegs,
And speaks in every blow,
’Till the last is dropped from his crafty hand,
And his foot hangs bare below.
He blurs the prints which the showmen sell,
And intrudes on the hatter’s trade,
And profanes the hostler’s stable-yard
In the shape of the chambermaid.
In the darkest night, and the bright daylight,
Knowing that he can win.
In every home of good-looking folks
Will human Love come in.
Egyptian Characteristics. —A cu
rious race of people the Egyptians must
have been. The great end of life was
death. They were no sooner born than
they thought about dying. The whole
nation seemed to live in a sort of
forcing pyramid. An Egyptian did not
care so much where he lodged, so long
as he knew where he was to be buried.
His greatest comfort was the idea of
being made a nice mummy of. His
card was an epitaph. He was walking
about with a tombstone continually in
his hand. In fact, the largeness of the
pyramid is a standing proof, if proof be
wanting, what a set of tremendous un
dertakers the Egyptians were. Their
present was the future. This may par
tially account for their being so much
in advance of other nations. To speak
extravagantly, they seemed to calculate
time with a death-watch, which they
wound up with a skeleton key ! They
made themselves, in tact, so familiar
with death, that they invited him to all
their weddings, anniversaries, pic-nics,
and grand dinners.— Punch.

Another Latin author, Livy, we be

by the pailful and in the day-time—

The Wrong Bar.— The meeting of
the Boston lawyers, for the “ Purifica
tion of the Bar,” ended with a supper
at the Revere House, upon which a
poem, written by A. C. Spooner, was
read. Two lines convey its moral:
“ The truest account of our troubles by far,
Is that lawyers too often attend the wrong bar.”
An Obvious Inference. —An lowa
stump orator, wishing to describe his
opponent as a soulless man, said, “ 1
have heard some persons hold the opin
ion, that just at the precise moment af
ter one human being dies another is
born, and the soul enters and animates
the new-born babe. Now, i have made
particular and extensive inquiries con
cerning my opponent thar, and I find
that for some hours before he drew
breath nobody died. Fellow citizens,
1 leave you to draw the inference !”
A Hit. —A certain young clergy
man, modest almost to bashfulness, was
once asked by a country apothecary of
a contrary character, in a public and
crowded assembly, and in a tone of
voice to catch the attention of the whole
company, “ How it happened that the
patriarchs lived to such an extreme old
age ?” To which impertinent question
he immediately replied, “ Perhaps they
took no physic.”
A W alking Snuff Box. —As Pat
Hogan, an American emigrant, sat
enjoying his connubial bliss upon the
banks of a Southern creek, he espied a
turtle emerging from the stream. “Oh,
honey!” he exclaimed, “ that iver I
should come to America to see a snuff
box walk!”

Country People, and all others who may be out of the
reach of a Physician, or unable to employ them. By Dr.
J. Hume Simons. —With a supplement on the treatment

The popularity of this book is attested by the rapid sale
of the first large edition; which induced tile publishers to

now prepared to supply any demand for it. It has been
approved by the ablest physicians, and is itself the result
of a long practice, and thorough observation ot disease m
the south. The Medical Tables are arranged on a simple
and original plan, and the volume contains more matter in
a small space than any work of Domestic Medicine now
111 UHe ’ EVERY FAMILY IN THE SOUTH
should have a copy of this book, as it may frequently
Sore both their Health and their Money.
It is published at the exceedingly low price of $1,25,

MANUFACTURER’S WAREHOUSE,
91 JOHN-STREET, NEW YORK.
A LARGE stock of these wellknown FENS constantly
on hand, for sale as above.
CAUTlON.— Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC
TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil
lott’s style or Label, his mode of putting up his
Pens, and also Designating Numbers, he desires to
give the following
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil-
Lott’s Fens 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 has caused it to be imitated, and the number adopt
ed hy a host of pretended makers.
Joseph Gii.lott would further advise the public that,
in all eases where his Numbers and the phraseology of bus
Labels are adopted by the parties above alluded to, the
Pens are not made by him, although asserted to be.
An experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to
bring his Steel Fens to the highest state of perfec
tion, and the liberal patronage which be has long enjoyed
at the hands of the American public, will incite him to con
tinued exertion to maintain the favor which he has ac
quired. IIENRY OWEN, Agent.
