<§tm from tlic snrts. From Tait’s Magazine. CHANGE. Change ! Change ! The mournful story Os all that’s gone before, The wrecks of perished glory, Bestrewing every shore; The shattered tower and palace That frowned o’er every glen, In broken language tell us The fleeting power of men Change ! change ! The scythe is sweeping O’er many a cottage hearth, The sickled hand is reaping O’er scenes oi household mirth ; The sheaf is bound where daughters Round their mothers used to spin, And where little feet did patter Full often out and in. Change ! Change ! For all things human- Kingdoms, States of ample wiug, Have their flight and fall in common With the meanest mortal thing— With Beauty, Love, and Passion ; With all earthly trust; With itfe’s smallest wavelet rushing, Curling, breaking into dust! Where arose in marbled grandeur The walled cities of the Past, The sullen winds now wander O’er a mined-huddled waste ; Rent is the palace splendid ; The owl, in silence, wings O’er floors where, aye attended, Paced the sandaled feet of Kinga Still Change ! Go, then and view All desolate and sunk, The circle of the Druid, The cloister of the monk, The abbey, bold and squalid, With its grass-manned, staggering wall, Ask by whom these were unhallowed— ’Twas Change that did it all. But Mind, the ever-living, From Time’s succeeding birth, Will receive some more of Heaven, Will receive some ie3sof Earth— More of Truth and less of Error; Less of Hate and more of Love; Till the world below’ shall mirror All the Purity above. THIRTY-FIVE. BY N. P. WILLIS. ** The years of man’s life are three score and ten.” Oh, weary heart! thou’rt half way home! We stand on life’s meridian height!— As far from childhood’s morning come. As to lhe grave’s forgetful night. Give youth and hope a parting tear — Hope promised but to bring us here. And reason takes the guidance now— One backward look—the last—the last! One Bilent tear —for Youth is past! Who goe9 with Hope and passion back t Who comes with me and Memory on ? Oh, lonely looks the downward track— Joy’s music hush’d—Hope's roses gone ! To Pleasure and her giddy troop, Farewell without a sigh or tear! But heart gives way, and spirits droop, To think that love may leave us here ! Have we no charm when youth is flown— Midway to death left sad alone ? Yet stay !—as’t were a twilight star That sends its thread across the wave, I see a brightening light from far Steal down a path beyond the gra ,r e! And now—bless God I—its golden line Comes o’er and lights my shadowy way, And shows the dear hand clasp’d in mine ! But list! what those sweet voices say ! The better land’s in sight, And, by its chastening light, All love from life is midway driven, Save her’s whose clasped hand will bring thee on to heaven. Ityilusnpjftj far tlie Staple. CURIOSITIES OF SCIENCE. An interesting paper might be writ ten, by a competent hand, respecting what we may call the “Curiosities of Science.’” There are hundreds of facts, familiar to the explorer of nature, which would startle the ordinary reader, from their apparent antagonism to other facts. Thus, if a blackened card is placed upon snow or ice, in the sunshine, the frozen mass underneath will grad ually melt; while that by which it is surrounded is but little disturbed. If, however, the sun’s rays, instead of fall ing directly on the card and snow, are reflected from a metal surface, an ex actly opposite result occurs; the ex posed parts are the first to melt, and the olackened card remains standing high above the surrounding portion. Anoth er curious fact is that if bars of copper, zinc, brass, and bell-metal are heated and placed so as to cool on blocks of lead, tin, or pewter, the bars are thrown into a state of vibration, and produce sounds similar to those of an seolian harp. A blacksmith will tell you that he can press heat out of a piece of iron, by simply beating it with a hammer, until, at last, he will render it red hot and be able to light a match at it, but he will add that the same piece cannot be made red-hot again by hammering, until it has been made red-hot in fire, and brought back to its original ex panded condition. The same principle which is at the bottom of this curious fact enables fire to be obtained by the friction of two pieces of wood. Even unscientific readers are familiar wtih the fact that ice can be formed, in the hottest summer days, by chemical means ; but few are aware that water can be frozen in a vessel which is at a red heat. Yet this astonishing experi ment has been frequently performed. If a deep platina saucer is heated red hot, and then water and liquid sulphu rous acid, which has been preserved in the liquid state by a freezing mixture, is poured into the vessel, the rapid evap oration of the volatile acid, which en ters into ebulition at the freezing point, produces such an intense cold that ice is immediately formed, and being thrown out can be used to cool water. The experiments of j ugglers have proved to all, that, under certain conditions the hand can be immersed with impunity in melted metal. Little more is re quired than to rub the hands with soap so as to give them a polished surface, then to plunge them into a cold solu tion of water and sal-ammoniac, and afterwards to put them into the liquid iron, lead, bronze, or other metal, moving them rapidly through it, though not too rapidly. The explanation of this curious fact is this. When the hand is plunged into melted metal the skin i3 not in contact with the metal, and therefore the heat incident upon the skin can arise only from that which 18 ra diated from the metal. The mois ture of the skin passes into the sphe roidical state, and reflects the radiating ca one, so that the heat is never at the boiling point. an<i hght exhibit, in part, murk Ment bodies, a very re whiehV ° l ®® re &ce.

On the principle of different colours the whole economy of Nature, in reference to the absorption and ra diation of heat by the various kinds of flowers and plants, is carried on. Says a late writer: “ Every tree spreading its green leaves to the sunshine, or ex posing its brown branches to the air— every flower which lends its beauty to the earth, possesses different absorbing and radiating powers. The chalice-like cup of the pure white lily floating on the lake, the variegated tulip, the bril liant anemone, the delicate rose, and the intensely coloured peony, or dahlia, have each powers peculiar to themselves for drinking in the warming life-stream of the sun, and for radiating it back again to the thirsting atmosphere.”— Electricity also performs an important function in the growth of flowers, as is popularly known by actual experiment. In short, the world of science is full of curious facts, and not without a poetry of its own. Many an intellect that wastes its time in profitless mental spepulations, or loiters life away in the perusal of trashy books, would find a new delight in tracing the wonder-work ing processes of Nature, and learn, through revering Nature, to adore Na ture’s God.— Philadelphia Bulletin. A New Form of Mesmerism. —lt is said that certain clock makers at Bris tol, Connecticut, in making some chro nometers lately, found it impossible for the workmen to keep awake when they were setting the instruments agoing.— It is necessary in regulating them, to count the beats in a minute by a regu lator, and change the hair-spring until both go nearly in time; then the screw’s in the balance are turned until the greatest maximum is obtained,when they are rated, and the rate registered. The workmen find no difficulty with the parts, but when the whole movement is going, any person who sits down and counts the beats, or watches the mo tion of the balance, invariably becomes drowsy. The clocks are of polished work, and gilded by a peculiar galvanic process, which, if the facts be as here stated, may have something to do with the effect. What is curious is, that the person who is put to sleep continues to count the beatings of the time with his hand or foot. The writer in the Boston Post , who gives an account of the mat ter, adds: “ It affords some amusement to visit ors to see a company of men at work and half of them asleep yet labouring to keep themselves awake. Experi ments have been made with strangers, and it invariably produces the same ef fect. On Saturday last a collier came to the factory with a load of coals, and was admitted into the finishing room to see the clocks. One of the work men desired to make the experiment; accordingly the old man was put to count, striking on the bench with his hand in time with the clock ; he went to sleep in three minutes, and was kept under the influence for nearly an hour. His dog that had followed him into the room upon discovering his situation ex hibited alarm, and ran about howling in a most dismal manner ; all this did not disturb the sleeper, but the mo ment the clock w T as stopped he awoke, and was surprised that so much time had passed. There is some great prin ciple hidden in these phenomena, that is truly mysterious.” jMisrrllimtj. A STATE OF SEIGE. I was one day hunting alone on foot, with a double barrelled smooth bore, one barrel loaded with ball and the other with No. 2 shot, in a rather (for that country), open wood, when a large boar made his appearance, about sixty yards off, and not seeing any of his comrades, I let fly the ball barrel at him and tumbled him over. He gave a fierce grunt or two as he lay, and a large herd of these boars and sows im mediately rushed out from some thick underwood behind, and after looking a few seconds at the fallen beast, made a dash at me; but they were a little too late, for on first catching a sight of them, I ran for a tree, cut up it for life, and had only scrambled into some diverging branches, about ten feet from the ground, when the whole herd ar rived, squealing and grunting, at the foot of the tree. It was the first time I had ever been treed, as the North Americans call it, and 1 could not help laughing at the ludicrous figure I must have cut, chased up a tree by a drove of pigs; but it soon turned out no laughing matter, for their patience was not, as I expected, soon exhausted, but they settled around the tree, about twenty yards distant, and kept looking up a{ me with their little twinkling eyes, as much as to say, “ we’ll have you yet.” Having made up my mind that a regular seige was intended, 1 began, as an old soldier, to examine the state and resources of the fortress, and also the chances of relief from without by raising the seige. The defences con sisted of four diverging branches that afforded a safe asylum to the garrison, provided 1 was watchful and did not go to sleep; the arms and ammunition u de guerre et de louche ,” were a double barrelled gun, a flask nearly full of pow T der, plenty of copper caps, a few charges of shot, but only two balls; knife, flint and steel, a piece of hard dried tongue, a small flask of spirits and water, and a good bundle of segars. As for relief from wdthout, it was hardly to be expected, although a broad trail ran about half a mile from my perch, and as for a sally, it was quite out of the question, so 1 did as most persons would do in my situation, made myself as comfortable as possible, took a small sup from the flask, lit a segar, and sat watching the brutes, and wondering when they would get tired of watching me. But hour after hour elapsed, and as there seemed no chance of the pigs losing patience, of course I began to lose mine; they never stirred, except one now r and then would go and take a look at his dead comrade, and then re turn grunting, as if he had freshened up his thirst for revenge. All at once it occurred to me that, though J could not spare any lead, but must keep it for contingencies, yet, as powder and caps were in abundance, it would be a good plan to fire off powder alone every few minutes, and follow each shot by a loud shout, which is the general signal for assistance; and, as one barrel was still loaded with shot, I picked out a most outrageously vicious SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. old boar, which was just returning from a visit to his fallen friend, grunting and looking up at me in the tree, and gave him the whole charge, at about twenty yards off, in the middle of his face This succeeded beyond my expect tions, for he turned around and ‘ loped away as hard as he could, n ng the most horrible noise, and the the remainder, when they heard tho shot, charged up to the foot of the tree, tic outcry of the old boar drew them a!! from it, and away the whole herd went after him, making such a noise as 1 never heard before or since. Remain ing up the tree for several minutes, until all was quiet, I loaded both bar rels very carefully, with ball, slipped down to the ground, and ran away in a contrary direction to the one they had taken, as fast as my legs could carry me.— Byron's Life in Central America. EDGAR A. POE. [The following is communicated to the Portland Transcript , by G. W. Eveleth. No person can read it with out deep sympathy for the unfortunate poet. It is hard to judge our brother’s heart. His outward acts, as they ap pear to the world, have oft times no proportion to his inward temper, and he judges harshly and uncharitably who condemns another for a fault or crime, when he knows not what temptations, afflictions, and untoward circumstance should be taken into account. Extract from a letter received from Mr. Poe in January, 1848:—“You ask me if I will not hint to you what was the ‘terrible evil’ which caused the ‘ir regularities so profoundly lamented.’ Yes, 1 w ill do more than hint. This evil was the greatest which can befall man. Six years ago a wife, whom I loved as no man ever loved before, ruptured a blood-vessel in singing. Her life was despaired of. I took leave of her for ever, and underwent all the agonies of her death. She recovered partially, and I again hoped. At the end of the year, the vessel broke again—l went through precisely the same scene. Again, in about a year afterward. Then again— again—again—and even once again, at varying intervals. Each time I felt all the agonies of her death—and at each accession of the disorder, I loved her more dearly and clung to her life with more desperate pertinacity. But lam constitutionally sensitive—nervous in a very unusual degree. 1 became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. During these fits of absolute uncon sciousness, I drank, God only knows how often and how much. Asa matter of course, my enemies referred the insani ty to the drink, rather than the drink to insanity. I had indeed nearly aban doned all hope of a permanent cure, when I found one in the death of my wife. This I can and do endure as be comes a man—it was the horrible never ending oscillation between hope and despair which I could not longer have endured without total loss of reason. In the death of what was mv life, I receive anew, but oh God! how mel ancholy an existence!” llcaiiittgs at Hanimm. Knick says the weather at Albany is as variable as a woman. According to Fontenelle, ‘a beauti ful woman is the hell of the soul, the purgatory of the purse, and the Para dise of the eyes.’ A ruffian recently bit off a man’s ear. Strange enough, he was immedi ately bound over to keep the piece. Wonder if he has. It is stated that ladies in California wear pantaloons. It is generally un derstood that some of those this side of the gold country do the same. A company of Cocknies are playing out west, ‘The Mysterious Horphon, hor the Houtrageous Hunkle—the prin cipal character appears on a orse.” The ladies of Baltimore, who are among the fairest of the fair portion of creation, protest against the right of the census takers to demand their age. Prefer solid sense to wit; never study to be diverting without being useful; let no jest intrude upon good manners, nor say anything thas may offend mo desty. Men are like bugles; the more brass they contain, the further you can hear them. Ladies are like violets, the more mo dest and retiring they appear, the better you like them. A labourer, in the employ of the city of St. Louis, presented a bill to the corporation a few days since, for thirty nine and three-quarter days’ work, per formed during the month of May. Mr. Willis speaks of a handsome girl whom he met in an omnibus in New York, as one, “the dimples at the corners of whose mouth were so deep, and so turned in like inverted commas, that her lips looked like a quotation.” Mrs. Speclels says her neice was so rained upon the other night, that she has had the fever and ague ever since, and she -supposes would have gone into St. Anthony’s dance, only she belonged to thejdiurch and did’nt know the steps. Some slandering bachelor says there is “ much joy ” when you first get mar ried, but more jawey a year or so after. We’ll bet that fellow was “kick ed” by some smart, discerning girl, and she “sarved him right.” At three years of age, we love our mothers; at six, our fathers; at ten, holidays; at sixteen dress; at twenty, our sweet-hearts; at twenty-five, our wives; at forty, our children; and at sixty, ourselves. A man out West, who has had twenty years of the hardest kind of experience, says a smoky chimney is no more to be compared to a scolding wife than a little nigger is to a dark night. “My dear, what shall we name our baby?” said Mr. Smith to Mrs. Smith the other day. “ W hy, huz, I’ve settled on Peter.” “Peter! I never knew a man with the simple name of Peter who could earn his salt.” “ Well, then, we will call him Salt Peter.” 51 Column Crtrtrii to jfuti. One of the Philadelphia dailies hits off the .flair of Mr. Gliddon’s male priestess, in the jwing witty effusion : THE BOSTON MUMMY. Lately, in the town of Boston, All the wise and great were lost in Transcendental admiration, At a startling publication, In which all the” world was bidden By the famous Mr. Gliddon, To behold a dame Egyptian, Great and rich, by his deseripiion, From the garments disencumber’d, In which she for eent’ries slumber’d. All the wise of modern Athens Gather’d round the pitchy swathin’s, In the folds of which lay hidden The fair dame of Mr. Gliddon, Holmes, the funny bard-physician. Had a prominent position, And the knowing dentist Wyman And some more of Boston’s high men Sat respectful—sapient finders Os the truth from calcin’d grinders— They can prove the mummy’s entity, These great dentists of identity. Parsons sober, wise professors Join’d this band of grave undressers. Sapient heads in wigs and glasses, And, without them, sage Agassiz. There were hosts of modest ladies, For the best one not afraid is To behold this model maiden Os her linen all unladen ! Then began the great undressing Gliddon all the time professing To know all about the history Os this dried-up female mystery, She a lady was, of station, In the old Egyptian nation— A priest’s daughter, for he, Gliddon, Read her name and sex the lid on. Three whole days the process lasted, But the Athenians would have fasted Three whole weeks, without appearing Os the business to be wearying On the sages went, unfolding, Eager, breathless, for beholding, Stripp’d of garments pitchy,sooty. The mysterious Theban beauty. While the process was progressing, Gliddon learned was addressing Sage remarks explanatory Os the Egyptian lady’s story ; Telling too of ail experiments In uncoiling mummies’ cerements, And of treasures sometimes hidden In the linen—so said Gliddon. Hieroglyphics he translated, Mysteries elucidated, You’d have sworn the Theban learned. Had himself been long inurned. And had risen, a mummy knowing, For the simple sake of showing Modern Athens all the history Os each aucient Theban mystery One Athenian modest trembled, As, before the crowd assembled, He remark’d the mummy’s stature Rather tall for female nature Gliddon had an explanation Nearly ready for narration, But, ere he’d begun his answer, Cried another, “ She’s a man, Sir!’’ Consternation, ladies blushing, Beaux coniused, disposed for rushing Off, without a moment waiting ; For ’twas fixed, beyond debating, That the unroll’d priestess tender Was not of the female gender! Gliddon for a moment falter’d, But his vision soon was alter’d For he saw a dawning notion That would settle the commotion “ Gentlemen and ladies,” said he, “ This had surely been a lady, But the blundering undertakers, Or the blundering coffin makers, In the Theban shops of mummies, Proved themselves a set of dummies, And misplac’d the lady’s body By this base-born male tom-noddy.” Great applause this statement greeted From the “ folks” about him seated ; ’Twas a genuine Boston notion, Thus to settle the commotion. Ail abus’d the mummy bakers, Stupid Theban undertakers, For their blundering egregious And their treatment sacrilegious Os the holy priestess’ ashes, And for sending them such trash as This male mummy, with the label Os a lady, on the table. But, in Gliddon’s praise they firmer Grew, and never let a murmur Breathe against his Theban learning, And they’re thinking now of turning All their extra cash together, For a medal line of leather, With a suitable inscription, In the purest of Egyptian, To attest their admiration And their wondrous estimation Os the learned Gliddon’s history Os this Theban mummy mystery.

At a trial of a trespass case before one of the ward magistrates of Ro chester, a long, loose-jointed canal boy, whose pants were too short at both ends, one tail of his coat torn off, and minus of both sleeves, was sworn as to w'hat he knew in the case. His evi dence spread the guilt on the defendant rather too thick for the counsel, so the latter commenced with a brow-beating, consequential air, his cross-examination: “Well, sir.”? “My name ain’t sur, no how.” “Boy, then.” “I’m no boy, nuther.” “Is it lad, then?” “Not egzakly.” “Then what in thunder do they call you ?” “Ragged-tailed Bill—Hoss.” “ Well, Ragged-tailed Bill, Hoss, what time of day was this you speak of?” “I don’t know egzakly; about ten miles after sunrise.” “I hope the court will oblige this witness to answer my question.” Court —“ Bill, explain to the gentle man what you mean.” “Well, I had drove ten miles since sunrise, and we go about two miles and a half an hour; let him find out by his laming.” “What business does plaintiff fol low ?” “ I don’t know any sich man.” “What, don’t know what plaintiff means.” “No, no more ner you knows what time of day ten miles after sunrise is.” The laugh began to be against the counsel, but he brightened up, and made fight again. “Now r tell me, Bill, where all this happened ?” “I’ve told you once on Loafer Bridge.” “Who were there, beside the parties?” “ Oh. a whole parcel of loafers .” “Well, what were they doing?” “Why, I s’pose loafering about.” “So, on Loafer Bridge, a whole par cel of loafers were loafering about. Is that all you know r about it?” Here the witness stooped down to get his hands into his pantaloons pock ets, and looking up, said, “That’s um.” The laugh was again against the counsel; he pocketed his papers, and was non est. Mr. Brown, I owe you a grudge, remember that!” “ I shall not be frightened, then, for I never never you to pay anything that you owed.” and an artist were one day at Gov.

Philadelphia, June, 1850. ts JOSEPH GILLOTT’S STEEL PENS. MANUFACTURER’S WAREHOUSE, 91 JOHN-STREET, NEW YORK. A LARGE stock of these well known PENS constantly on hand, for sale as above. CAUTlON.—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 Designating Numbers, he desires to give the tollowing 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 has caused it to be imitated, and 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 him, although asserted to be. An experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to bring his Steel Pens to tile highest state of pkrfec tion, und the liberal patronage which he has long enjoyed at the hands of theAmerican public, will incite him to con tinued exertion to maintain the favor which he has ac quired.
