irtns from tjje FATAL EYES*. BY ERNEST HELFENSTEIN. “ Sachrymie oculos sutfusa nitentes. y^ r Ah me! I have l ooked on eyes Soft and winning as the dove s, And they took me by surprise, Never dreaming they were Love’s. Something struck my wondering sense ; Softest lids were veiling there, With a look of sweet pretense, Like a saint engaged in prayer. And, as the child beholds the rose Globed with dew at early morn, Hastening, for the treasure goes, Leaven the Bower, but takes the thorn. As the boy with honey-bee, Thought intent upon the sweets, Never dreams of penalty, Till the sting his finger meets ; Or the youth the lily spies, Liquid white her bosom lave, Hurrying, eager for the prize, Sinks beneath the t.eacherous wave ; So did I with foolish quest Peer adown those wondrous eyes, Feeling only sweet unrest, Only new and glad surprise. Sheltered by their fringe of jet, Beamed they downward all serene — I, a pLus anchoret, Reading missal leases between. Pleasant task it was, I ween, Thus to worship day and night, “ Sweetest eyes were ever seen,” Bent on me with holy light. Tears those drooping lids have swelled, Falling one by one, long syne ; I have heard them as I held Gentle fingers clasped in mine ; Sitting silent in our wo, Not a word of love we spoke ; ’T was enough for each to know That the charm of life was broke. * Suggested by Dante’s story of Frencescaof Rimini. ♦ i” RAIN ON THE ROOF. When the humid showers gather Over all the starry spheres, And the melancholy darkness Gently weeps in rainy tears, ’Tis a joy to press the pillow’ Os a cottage chamber bed, And listen to the patter Os the soft rain overhead. Every tinkle on the shingles Has an echo in the heart, ‘And a thousand dreary fancies Into busy being stait; And a thousand recollections Weave their bright hues into W'oof, As I listen to the patter Os the solt ram on the roof. There in fancy comes my mother, As she used to, years agone, To survey the infant sleepers Ere she left them till the dawn. I can see her bending o’er me, As I listed to the strain Which is played upon the shingles By the patter of the rain. Then my little seraph sister, With her wrings and waving hair, And her bright eyed, cherub brother, A serene, angel.c pair ! Glide around tny wakeful pillow With their praue and or mild reproof, As I lLten to the murmur Os the soft ra.n on the roof. And another comes to thrill me With her eyes delicious blue, I forget, as gazing on her, That he heart w r as all untrue; I remember that I loved her As I ne’er may love again, And my heait’s quick pulses vibrate To the patter of the rain. There is naught in art’s bravuras That can work with such a spell, In the spirit’s pure, deep fountains, Whence the holy passions swell. As that melody of nature — That subdued, subduing strain, Which is played upon the shingles By the patter of the rain. fur flic |Tnjilf. [From the Washington National Intelligencer.] ELECTRO-MAGNETISM AS A MOTIVE POWER—THE IMPORTANT QUES TION SETTLED. Professor Page, in the Lectures which he is now delivering before the Smithsonian Institution, states that there is no longer any doubt of the ap plication ol this power as a substitute lor steam. lie exhibited the most im posing experiments ever witnessed in this branch of science. An immense bar of iron weighing one hundred and sixty pounds, was made to spring up by magnetic action, and to move rapid id ly up and down, dancing like a feather in the air , without any visible support. The force operating upon this bar he stated to average three hundred pounds through ten inches of its motion. lie said he could raise this bar one hun dred feet as readily as through ten inches, and he expected no difficulty in doing the same with a bar weighing one tun, or a hundred tuns. He could make a pile-driver, or a forge hammer, with great simplicity, and could make an engine with a stroke of six, twelve, twenty, o*‘ any number of feet. Ihe most beautiful experiment w r e ever witnessed was the loud sound and brilliant flash from the galvanic spark, when produced near a certain point in his great magnet. Each snap was as loud as a pistol; and when he pro duced the same spark at a little distance from this point, it made no noise at all. This recent discovery he stated to have a practical bearing upon the construc tion of an electro magnetic engine.— Truly, a great power is here; and where is the limit to it ? He then exhibited his engine, of be tween four and five horse power, ope rated by a battery contained within a space of three cubic feet. It looked very unlike a magnetic machine. It was a reciprocating engine of two feet stroke, and the whole engine and bat tery weighed about one tun. When the power was thrown by the motion of a lever, the engine started off mag nificently, making 114 strokes per minute; though when it drove a circu lar saw ten inches in diameter, sawing up boards an inch and a quarter thick into laths, the engine made but about eighty strokes per minute. There was great anxiety on the part of the spec tators to obtain specimens of these laths, to preserve as trophies of this great mechanical triumph. The force operating upon this magnetic cylinder throughout the whole motion of two feet, was stated to be GOO pounds ‘’ hen the engine was moving very slow ly, but he had not been able to ascer tain what the force was when the en gmc \vas running at a working speed, though it was considerably less. The most lmponant and interesting point, however, is the expense of the power! Professor Page stated that he had re duced the cost so far that it was less than steam under many and most con dlt'ons ’ though not so low as the cheap | est steam engmes. With all the im perfections of the engine, the con sumption of three pounds of zinc per day would produce one horse power.— The larger his engine (contrary to what has been known before) the greater the economy. Professor Page was him self surprised at the result. There were yet practical difficulties to be evercome ; the battery had yet to be improved ; and it remained yet to try the experiment on a’grander scale, to make a.power of one hundred horse, or more. Truly the age is fraught with won ders ; and we can now look forward with certainty to the time when coal will be put to better uses than to burn, scald and destroy. An Extraordinary Barometer. — All the barometers yet invented require correction when an observation is made, but the remote glen of Abrichan in Scotland, says the ‘•'lnverness Courier can boast of one which can be more relied on than even the Torrichellian experiment itself. It consists simply of a stone inside the wall of the house occupied by the honest tenant of Acha cuilian, which, three days beforehand, prognosticates wet weather with mathe matical precision. The sign is, that it oozes out drops of water. The natives hold that this wondeiful stone has been of incalculable service to them. In harvest, when the crop is cut down, but still unsecured, every eye in the glen is turned towards “Tomasan Aehacuili an,” and whenever he begins to gather in the stocks there is a simultaneous movement throughout the glen. In deed, it is not unusual to see such a scene of hurry and bustle at this place in the finest day in harvest, and when no ordinary philosopher could say there was a cloud of rain in the sky. Usage has transferred the name of the ba rometer from the stone to the owner, so that, in that and the surrounding dis trict, the worthy tenant of Achacuilian is familiarly saluted as the “ Abrichan Barometer.” Improvement in the Manufacture of China. — The long sought-for solu tion of the great difficulty, which the Chinese themselves have never been able to overcome—the art of attaching objects in relief to the exterior of the fine and delicate cups of egg-shell porce lain—has at length been discovered by a French artist. This has been accom plished by making the ornaments hol low ; and thus, in the baking, allow ance is made for the shrinking, and they no longer crack or injure the shape of the cup to which they are attached. — This over Chinese perfection has been smiled with much satisfaction. A set of cups and saucers of perfectly transparent fabric, adorned with flowers in relief, and the cups having handles attached, w! ic-h neither the Chinese nor Japanese artists have ever been able to manufacture in egg-shell China, were a few weeks ago embarked for Canton as a present to the emperor. lirniiings nt llmitrain.

Charitable proceeding. “Mother, the end of the world is coming.” “ What makes you think so, child?” “Coz them trowsers wot you said ’ud never wear out, has got a tear in’ big hole in ’em.” A Dutch justice once decided that a man might bite his own nose off if he pleased. But the man appealed, and the opinion of the justice was overruled by the higher court. A celebrated wit was asked why he did not marry a young lady to whom he was much attached. “I know not,” said he, “ except the great regard we have for each other.” An invalid, on being asked why he took so much medicine, replied, in rather a sad tone, “ Why, how can I help myself? for, the more l complain, the more the doctor sends me.” There is a class of people who ask you why you don't come to their house, but never sav do. They are nearly related to the gentleman who has al ways got “ a bill to take up,” whenever you wish to effect a small loan from him. Speaking of the late “ Woman’s Convention ” in Ohio, Prentice of the Louisville Journal says: “We under stand that no young ladies were in the Convention. The whole body consist ed of married women, widows and old girls.” A New York paper says that Mrs. Diddlethem will introduce a party of “Spirits” to the public at Barnum’s Museum. An Egyptian Mummey will address the company in “knocks.”— Socrates and Plato are expecte d to be present. A sailor, in the pit of a theatre, looking over his play-bill, read —“An interval of twenty-five years occurs be tween tho first and second actshe put on his old tarpaulin and left the house, saying, “ Few of these folks will live to see the end on’t.” An Irish attorney, not proverbial for his probity, was robbed one night in going from Wicklow to Dublin. — Ilis father, next day, meeting Baron O’Grady, said, “My lord, have you heard of my son’s robbery?” “No,” replied the Baron, “ whom did he rob ?” A gentleman passing through one of the public offices, was affronted by some clerks, and was advised to complain to the principal, which he did thus: “I have been abused here by some of the rascals in this place, and ha- come to acquaint you of it, as I understand you are the principal.” When the rich Quaker was asked j the secret of his success in life, he an- t swered, “Civility, friend, civility.”— Some people are uncivil, sour, sullen, morose, crabbed, crusty, haughty, really clownish and impudent. Run from such as for your life. “Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit, there is more hope of a fool than of him.” SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. 51 #sklet nf jNmrtj. NAPOLEON CROSSING THE ALPS. This grand historical sight may be seen three or four nights a week at the Surrey Zoological Gardens : Napoleon crosses the Alps in a manner that is not mentioned, we believe, by Thiers, or Bourrienne, or Sir Walter Scott, or “ Chambers’ Tracts,' ’ or any other his torian. The manner in which he ef fects it is by sliding on at a slow pace across a large sheet of water, and, a - is on horseback, the reading, it will be clear, is quite anew one. What lake t here is up in the Alps we do not know; and whether Napoleon cVossed it on his celebrated white horse, which seems to have had a wonderful talent for standing on his hind legs, we have looked into every kind of history, in cluding the authentic versions published every year at Franconi’s and Astley’s, but cannot find, to our disappointment, the smallest record of the fact. How ever, as Napoleon did everything dif ferently from everybody else, it is very probable that he did as he is represent ed, or that he would have done so, if there had been a lake. Another cu rious circumstance is, that Napoleon crossed the Alps amidst a brilliant dis play of fireworks —so brilliant a dis play, in fact, that if it had taken place at the elevation of Mont St. Bernard, or Mont Blanc, or from any other of the great heights to which Napoleon’: ambition delighted to climb, the reflec tion must have been seen all over Eu rope; and the result would have been that Mr. Braidwood would have been gallopping for days all over England with his engine in search of the fire. We have always understood that Napoleon crossed the Alps in the day time, for the ascent would have been too perilous at night with a horse like the one David has given him, which must, in one of its extraordinary am phitheatrical jambades, have tumbled, rider and all, over the first precipice that came in its way ; and if Napoleon did cross in the daytime, it is very clear he never would have done it in the company of a grand display of fire works, the effect of which would have been perfectly lost. Napoleon was not so fond of hiding his candle under a bushel as to burn ten thousand Roman candles in the broad day light. lie was quite clever enough to know that a kind ofyew like that certainly ne velait pas la chandelle , or at least so many chandelles. Beyond this, we must say the coup d'oeif is very good; and if Napoleon had to go over the Alps again, there is no doubt that, knowing the love the French have for theatrical display, he would give orders to have it periorm ed in perfectly a similar manner to the one Messrs. Danson and Southby have so cleverly arranged for him ; although we doubt if he would ride across a lake on horseback ; and we have our mis givings, also, whether he would allow his Grand Marshal Jullien—and a Marechal J ullien certainly is in his way, for has he not his baton ? —to play u God save the Queen ” just as the last discharge of Catherine wheels were run ning about like mad, in the astonished atmosphere.

THINGS FOR A GERMAN TO CALCU- , LATE. We always thought that an Ameri can was the best person to calculate; but it seems that there is in London i an extraordinary “ Calculating Ger man.” We have not yet had the plea sure of hearing this wonderful Deuts cher, who, we are told, throws sums and figures and catches them as skilfully as Kamo Samee did cannon balls, but we take the liberty of pro posing to him the following simple cal culations, to which we shall be too hap py to receive the proper answers. Will he be kind enough to tell us — When the Great German Empire is likely to be founded, and what city is likely to be the capital of it? When those facts are ascertained be yound the fraction of a doubt, if he would endeavour to calculate the long est period the said German Empire is likely to last, and, supposing it lasts six months, how far distant that great fact will be from the Millennium of the world ? How often has Austria committed bankruptcy, and what is the sum total of its several bankruptcies, and wheth er it is capable of paying a kreutzer in the pound ? What is the number of political pris oners in Austria, Prussia, and the lit tle despotic principalities of Germany? Calculate what good the long-de nounced, long-delayed Constitution has \ done Prussia, and whether it was worth while waiting so very long for so very little ? Calculate the revenue Nassau and Baden-Baden derive from their own re sources, and tell us how many times greater or lesser they are than the rev enue they draw from those German “ sinks of iniquity,” the gaming-tables? Ascertain, if you can, and tell us the name of the German who does not smoke ? Also ascertain, and pray tell us once for all, “ Was ist das Vaterland f— for we have heard it many hundred times, but we never could make out. Exhibition of Industry —The Ex hibition of Industry, as far as it has gone, shows the following results : The Industry of complaining, and the Industry of finding fault, and the Industry of making mistakes, but with very little Industry to repair them. There has also been a wonderful In dustry in collecting money, but a shameful lack of Industry on the part of those who have the means to pay, and ought to pay, but somehow will not pay. The End of Repeal. —Though Re peal has not succeeded, it may be said to have gained its end, or at all events its own end, for it came to a termina | tion last Monday week, and a short fu neral oration was spoken by Mr. John O’Connell. The poor thing has died in the most distressed circumstances, with all its rent in terrible arrear, and with scarcely a roof over its head : for •/ 7 it was intimated that the existence of Repeal had become a landlord’s ques tion, and that the landlord of the Hall would no longer tolerate such a miser able tenant. Mr. John O’Connell inti mated that the cause of the death of Repeal was the neglect of the country to “speak out,” but it is perfectly well understood that the neglect of the country “to fork out’ was the real cause ot the catastrophe. An old woman and an elderly man in a bad hat and bankrupt circumstances were the last to adhere to the “dear departed ;” and when the Hal 1-keeper came to “clear out,” they reluctantly retired. 1 Cnlunm irrrtri to Hint. : j THE STAMMERING SAILOR, BY JEEMS. John Z , or “Stuttering Jack,” ; as his shipmates familiarly called him, 1 was as clever a son of Neptune as ever ! ‘passed an evening,” or broke ship’s ; bread; but.lack couldn’t talk “straight” to save his life, or any one’s else. His ; words came like drawing a rope yarn ! over a spike, and when excited it was painful to witness his attempts to dis gorge himself of sundry oaths and in vectives, which alone seemed to afford him immediate relief. The good schooner C y, Captain W., was “cleaving her path majestic through the flood,” on her outward bound passage to the “Spanish main; the old craft knew the way, as Jack said, as she had been there forty times before; but he held the “jingling stick,” as he called the tiller, just to keep her straight. She was running at the rate of— knots, wind and wind before a spanking breeze, and rolling yard-arms and scupper-holes. Jack was the monarch of her lum bered deck, as the cook (a “green” lad from Jack’s own neighbourhood,) emerged from his smoky galley, and mounted the towering deck load of lumber to draw a bucket ot water from alongside. Jack saw the perilous situation of the cociniro , and was just preparing to vociferate a word of time ly caution when the force of the water drew him heals over head into the “ briny.” Jack sprang to the companionway and brawled out, “ Captain!” accom paning his cry with thundering raps with his huge fist on the slide, which soon brought the Gnptain to the deck. “ What’s the matter, Jack V “C-C-C-Cook’s —.” Jack’s face was purple; he couldn’t articulate, his words stuck hard and fast in his throat. “ What the devil’s to pay ?” “ L-L-L-Lower ’way the b-b-b-boat, Captain, 1 I-I-lower away. C-C-Cook. ’ He was clearing away the stern boat, when the Captain seized him by the i collar, and demanded, with an oath, what was the matter with the Cook. Jack pointed in the direction of the vessel’s stern and redoubled his eflbrts I to speak, but without success. Capt. Ben’s patience was exhausted, and stamping his foot upon the deck with a thundering voice, shouted, “Sing it —sing it!—damn your eyes, sing it!” Jack’s phiz lighted up as the idea was presented, and with his stentorian lungs and all but the melody of Jenny Lind, he sung —“The cook has gone over board, bucket and all.” The schooner was soon brought by TUO Wind, the boat lowncl nrraj, rami the poor boy rescued. As lie reached .the deck, more dead than alive, Jack met him with a “ Next time”-*-a vol ley of oaths followed —“m-in-man, make your b-b-bucket rope f-f-fast .” AN AMUSING PUZZLE. Many writers labour to introduce foreign words into their compositions, when plain English would serve a great | deal better. As an amusing burlesque : upon such pedantry, we recommend i the following to our young French I learners. And we hope the lesson of the play upon words, (we were just about to sin then against our own rule,) will not be lost or unheeded. THE TRAGEDIE DE DOEGLASS.

Philadelphia, June, 1850. ts JOSEPH GiI,LOTT’S STEEL PENS. MANUFACTURER’S WAREHOUSE, 91 JOHN NEW YORK. ’ ALARGE 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 stylk or Lxuel, Ins mode of putting np his Pens, and al>o Designating Numbers, he desires to give the following NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil lott’b 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 pketended makers. Joseph Gillott would further advise the public that, in all eases where his N umbers 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 the highest state of perfec tion, and the liberal patronage which he 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.
