(gnus from tljf From the Fredericton Reporter. 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. Marie W. H . St. Stephens, N. B. 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. Family Journal. for tjjt 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.— Builder. 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. 51 (Mlrt nf 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. SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. jbisrtlhrat]. 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. Thirty grains of Beauty which CONSTITUTE THE PERFECT WOMAN. Three things white : Theskin, the teeth, and the hands. Three blatk : The eyes,the eye-brows, and the eye-lashes. Three red: The lips, the cheeks, and the nails. Three long : The body, the hair, and the hands. Three short ; The teeth, the ears, and the feet. Three wide or large : The cheek the forehead and the space between the eye brows. Three small or narrow : The mouth, the waist, and the ancle. Three plump : The arm, the leg and the calf of the leg. Three delicate or fine : The fingers, the hair, and the lips. Three small: The head, the chin, and the nose. —From the French. (Brli'rtir nf tbit. 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. Classical Puns —Everybody knows that Dido et dux, according to Virgil. Another Latin author, Livy, we be lieve, has chronicled an interesting dif ference in the habits of two famous Roman generals, touching their seasons of regaling themselves upon their ia voaritc “creature comforts,” by saying that Pompey eat clams by night, Caesar by the pailful and in the day-time— “Pompeius clam et node, Ccesar pa/am et interditiT 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!” lUnliings nt llnniiom. The time of sunrise depends upon the latitude, and if you allow yourself too much latitude in lying in bed in the morning, you will never find the time of sunrise at all. A visit to a ball where the dancing is kept up with the utmost latitude, will be most likely to intro duce you to the exact hours of sunrise. Pascal’s definition of the universe is, that the centre of the universe is every where, and the circumference nowhere. This is at once astronomically exact and unimprovably concise and elegant. They are as fond of titles in the East as we are in the great West. Among his other high sounding titles, the King of Ava has that of “ 1 x>rd of twenty four Umbrellas.” This looks as if he had prepared himself for a long reign. A dandy is chap that would Bea young lady if he could; But as he can’t, does all he can To show the world he’s not a man. “ Boy, why don’t you go to school?” “ Bekase, sir, daddy’s afraid if I learns everything now, I shan’t have any thing to learn when l comes to go to the ’cademy!” Judge Jeffries, of notorious memory, pointing with his cane to a man who was about to be tried, said, “There is a rogue at the end of my cane.” The man to whom he pointed, look ing at him, said, “At which end, my lord!” A bird in hand is better far Than two wot in the bushes are. A culprit being asked what he had to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him, replied that he had nothing to say, as there had been quite too much said about it al ready. Keep him at least three paces dis tant, who hates music and the laugh of a child. “ Jack, your wife is not so pensive as she used to be ?” “ No, she has left that off’and turned Why did Job sleep cold o’nights? Because he had miserable comforters. There are 500 American whalers in the South Pacific Ocean, and only 14 British. A Frenchman had heard the phrase, “ I’ve got other fish to fry,” and learn ed its application. One day a friend invited him to go and walk, and being otherwise engaged, he thought of the above expression, and gave it, a little altered : —“ Excuse me to-day, sir, I must go fry some fish /” It is more difficult to conceal the sen sations we have, than to feign those we have not. None but the contemptible are a]>- prehensive of contempt. A beautiful woman who has all the qualities of an accomplished man, is, of all conversationists in the world the most delicious. In her is to be found all the merit of both sexes There is something beautifully pious and tender about that word of sad im port “ adieu /” That is, “ May God guard you —to God l commit you.” A great woman not imperious, a fair woman not vain, a woman of common talents not jealous, an accomplished woman who scorns to shine—are four wonders just great enough to be divided among the four quarters of the globe.

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.

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.
