(6tms from tjj t Tfintfs. From Arthur’s Home Gazette. STANZAS TO A LADY. by c. l. whklkr. A torm was in my early dreams, By day and night— A presence fair and well-defined, An angel bright. In thee that vision is renewed (As vernal sun’s renew the flowers,) All beauteous as that haunting form Whose mem’ry lives thro’ all my hours ! Within thine eye’s blue depth of sea An angel lies, That seems to bid one strive to win A kingly prize. But oh ! unworthy and abash’d, My action falters on resolve— The riddle of thine April eyes I cannot guess—nor dare evolve ! To praise the whiteness of the snow, The light of stars — To paint the morning walking through The Orient’s bars, Were tasks of lighter pains, meseems, Than telling all my charms so rare— Than painting beauties of thy face While Love is reigning changeful there! My harp hath never known the lays That passion breathes; My heart hath never bound the wreath The lover wreathes ; But oh ! if heart and hand could frame A song and wreath as pure as thou, My soul would quick essay the task To tell how deep I love thee now ! But I am humble—very poor— So pass me by— Enkindle not my soul of flame With word or eye ! Should I love you —you so star-like 1 Should all my days of dreaming be ? Still my soul rebels to prudence, And daily, nightly, dreams of thee. The following beautiful lines, says the Mir ror, have been sent to us (in manuscript) by a friend of the lamented poet; and, as they will only add another leaf to the ever green fame of the author of “My Life is like a Summer Rose,” we do not hesitate to give them public ity : ON MY BIRTH DAY. BY RICHARD HENRY WILDE. Another of my wasted years has gone, And brought me nearer nothing but the grave; And thus they wax and wane, and one by one, Leave, as they found me—Melancholy’s slave! Each stamps its wrinkles deeper on my brow— Each sheds its frost upon my scattered hair ; And those who knew me once and see me now, Speak of me as among‘the things that were.’ I’ve watched, through night, till dawn; the lin gering sun— It is my fortieth sun—at length appears, And seems to question me—“ What hast thou done Through this long waste of miserable years ? ’Ere his eighth lustre, gallant Surrey died, But, dying, left behind a deathless name ; And hast thou, then, no honourable pride— No noble aspiration after fame ? Horace and Virgil, Caesar, Scipio lit With glory, ere thy years, their sword or page; Ev’n while thou liv’dst, Napoleon, Byron writ Their brief and burning annals on the age ! “And thou !”—Enough ! I know it all—’tis true! Wasting my head and heart on Love or Rhyme; While the irrevocable moments flew, I perished, and bequeathed no name to Time! |sjlilosojilnj far tljr praplr. CAST IRON BUILDINGS. Public attention has been around to the necessity of adopting some method ot building which will effectually pre vent the spread of a conflagration when it occurs in the business portions of our city, and the lamentable destruction of property consequent upon it. On many quarters it is strongly urg ed, “That no building shall hereafter be erected except it is Fireproof. ” The operation of such a law would appear at first impracticable, but a little reflec tion will satisfy every one that it would not only be entirely feasible, but would attain the end so much to be desired, without involving any new principle or burdening the builder with any addi tional expense. The public probably do not sufficient ly appreciate the fact, that we have at hand a material destined, as if bv Pro vidence, to be applied to just such a pur pose : I refer to Iron—a material bet ter adapted to the construction ofhouses for living, manufacturing, or public pur poses, than either brick, wood or stone, and one susceptible of being worked with more ease, beauty and economy than any other in use. The space of a newspaper article is too limited to allow of a full discussion upon the peculiar adaptation of Iron for the purposes alluded to, but a few of its most obvious advantages may be enumerated. P irst. — As regards form and shape. Forms which stone never could be made to assume,varying from the light est fairy structures, to the most elabo rate designs of the Grecian or Gothic. Saving of Space in Foundations, discarding the cumbrous piles of stones, and substituting a firmer and more compact base. The capability of being speedily and easily erected or of being taken down and removed without a loss of time or material. Protection against Lightning—a phi losophical certainty. Security against Fire.—ln addition to the iron presenting no “food for fire” naturally ; in the formation of the parts of an iron building, it can be shown, that it can never be injured by contrac tion in the event of internal conflagra tion, or cracked by the sudden applica tion of water, even w T ere it brought to a white heat. Ventilation —the nature of the ma terial affording the best method of se curing the most perfect system of ven tilation. Facilities for the transmission of sound—a desideratum in all churches or public buildings adapated for large audiences. Absence of Vermin—Avoidance of mildew and absorption of dampness. For the application of Paint—the best known material, affording a beau ty of external finish with a protection from the weather. Durability, strength and firmness, in particular for factories employing steam and heavy machinery. Strengthening properties of Iron for the Constitution, as a principle of Health. 1 r External and Internal Ornamental fin ish by the means of Castings. Economy.— The slight effects of time or\\ear, the slight repairs necessary, and the ease and small expense with whicn additions may be made. The lepetition of form, through the medium of castings.—A single design may be multiplied a thousand times at the simple expense of the iron, saving time and manual labor. The peculiar adaption of iron to the formation of circulinear and graceful lines in contradistinction to the rectan gular and perpendicular. The severe iules which govern the Gothic or Gre cian scructures in the laying of the stones, can be departed trom in every essential particular. In connection with this last mention ed advantage, much might be said in regard to the adaptation of antique forms to the wants of our commercial community ; and whether shapes more in keeping with the purpose intended, would not be preferrable to the Gre cian Temple or other structures of the ancients, however beautiful they may appear at Rome or Athens. The foregoing are a few of the many advantages which iron affords over every other material in use for the construc tion of our dwellings, factories, ware houses or churches. The subject ought to be examined into and treated by men of science ; and the public, in these days of burning down and build ing up, should give their careful atten tion to a material which carries with it the three great essentials of house building, viz : a saving of time, labour, and expense. — Evening Mirror. The making of Leather. —This has been ever a very tedious process; con sisting merely of the union of the gela tine of the skin with tannin; yet the combination has been only effected af ter the lapse of months. Anew mode has been invented, by the use of a ma chine, which punctures the raw hide nearly through its substance, and thus gives the tanning a ready intercourse with all parts of the interior. The punc tures become closed, and the substance more compact and tenacious. Punc tured skins may be tanned in a few hours by sewing them in a bag, and applying presure, though this rapid pro cess is not advisable. It is said that the punctures effect the grain in such a manner as to prevent the cracking of the leather. — Charleston Eve. News. A New’ Cuticle. —The Scientific American says that plasters of dissolved gutta pereha have been in use among the “regular faculty” for tw T o years. — Chloroform is employed to dissolve the gutta pereha ; the solution is first rate for cuts. If a printer gets the points of his fingers cut, or the cuticle worn with new type, let him go to a druggist and get them pointed with this gutta pereha liquid ; no sooner is it applied to the fingers than they are covered with a thin, white, hard, yet flexible and firm ly adhering skin, the chloroform evapo rates in an instant, and leaves the gut ta pereha behind. Gun cotton dissolv ed in chloroform makes a good plaster also, but not like gutta pereha, for the hands of a workman. Etherization of Bees. —Prof. De pays, of the veterinary school at Brus sels, has successfully applied the vapor of ether to bees, in order to deprive them of their honey without taking their lives. The vapour was blown in to the hive through a glass tube, and the bees were soon made entirely tor pid, in which condition they remained for some time, but subsequently re vived, and were as lively and healthy as ever. 51 (Snlilrt nf }3uttrjj. My Stars and Garters. —The Star and Garter, at Richmond, has lately given rise to a scene of a very singular character. The waiters have grown sentimental over their chief, and have been giving a piece of plate to him at the Dysart Arms, Petersham. Seve ral speeches were made, in which “old associations were feelingly alluded to, and the head w r aiter‘s health having been drunk, the air of “Those Evening Bells” was played, as being appropri ate to the immense number of bells, which may be heard, all ringing at once, in the hall of the Star and Gar ter, on a Summer Sunday’s Evening. The head waiter, in returning thanks, so affected his fellow-waiters, that they were compelled to absorb their tears in their napkins. The piece of plate was a salver with an inscription, in which the head wait er was salved over with compliments, to an immense extent, and there was inscribed in the centre, as a motto, the words “Coming, coming,” in allusion to which, the recipient was frequently spoken of, as “the Coming Man.” We regret it is not in our power to give any of the speeches that were spoken on the occasion, but in the course of the evening, a great deal was said on the subject of the virtues of the head w'aiter, who, it was stated, had been known to hand five hundred breads in forty minutes, wipe three hundred glasses in half an hour, pour out eighty glasses of champagne, and exclaim “Coming directly, Sir,” to eighty applicants at once,without going near, or giving offence to any. Thf Queen at Sea.— We could not have a more appropriate Sovereign for the British Islands, than her present Majesty, who is perfectly at home at sea. and who furnishes an excellent representative of Brittania, of wave ru ling celebrity. Among the luggage put on board the royal yacht for the contemplated cruise to Ostend, were a cow and a piano ; a couple of articles, showing that the Queen apprehended nothing from the roughness of the weather, to disturb her ordinary ar rangements, but that she would be able to enjoy her tea and music as usual. The wind being somewhat boisterous, it might have been raised a good deal higher than concert pitch by the pitching of the vessel. As to the cow, its notions of a toss up would have been a little extended by the freaks of Neptune, but there would be no immediate danger to the animal un less any unskillful hand on board should have got to the piano, and struck up the tune the cow died of, in an unguarded moment. A Return in Kind. —We have often chronicled the visits of King Leopold* to Queen Victoria. At last Queen Victoria has paid her return visit to King Leopold. Let us hope that Flem ish hospitality, unlike Flemish book publishing, may produce something better than a contrefacon Beige. SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. The Imperial Bagman.— lt strikes us that the “President’s Tour” is very much in the style of a commercial traveller, travelling about the country, visiting the different towns, for impe rial orders. Whether Louis Napoleon will return with the crown and sceptre, which he has started, (according to that popular informant, Rumour, who is the Editor of the poor man’s Moniteur ,) with the object of bringing back with him appears very doubtful. The re r turn which the Maison Napoleon et Cie have received at Paris from Besancon, and the different parts of Alsatia, are “Very flat, —nothing doing.” ■< ♦ In Medio (Non) Tutissimus. —The Correspondent of a morning paper, de scribing the street preparations prepared for the Queen’s reception at Ostend, speaks of “the Prussian Eagle, that seems trying to fly both ways at once ;” a happy emblem, surely, for a kingdom that dare not be despotic, and can’t be liberal; that halts in a half-and half flight from the absolutisms of a Prus sian Court, to the Anarchy of a Frank fort Assembly. The French Republican Caws. — A short time ago an enormous number of Crows alighted on the trees of the Tuilleries, and on the roof of the Pal ace, when it was found necessary to call out some of the Chasseurs of Vin cennes, who killed about five hundred of the feathered visitors. We do not exactly see what harm these birds could have done, but perhaps the inhabitants of the Tuilleries objected to being crow’ed over. The Gentlemen of Lyons. —Louis Nopoleon, on his recent visit to Lyons, recalled the w'ords of the Emperor, and requested the City of Lyons to love him. He did his best to clothe him self in the second-hand habits of his il lustrious uncle, and Louis Napoleon in Lyons, must have reminded many of the fable of the ignobler animal in the Lion’s skin. Railway Intelligence. —Mr. Punch is authorized to contradict,in his strong est manner, a malicious report that Lord Brougham had been engaged to work all the trains, up and down, on the Eastern Railway, vice all the late hands, discharged. Neat and Appropriate. —They pre sented Jenny Lind with a tea-kettle, at Liverpool, probably from the well known proficiency of that utensil in singing. Vulgar Amendment of an Old Pro verb. —“In Vino-Veritable-Ass.” —Be- cause, when a man is drunk, he is sure to make an ass of himself. The Most Desirable Settlement for Emigrants. —The Pecuniary Set tlement. 1 Column Crcrtflt to jfira. GEORGIA PECULIARITIES. Someone who has recently travelled in Georgia, gives a specimen of the provincialisms in use among the Geor gians, in the following imaginary dia logue : A traveller stops at tho house to spend the night. Traveller—Can 1 stay with you to night. Landlord —I reckon. We does not like to turn people away. We does not practice keeping people. T.—lnterrupting him.) If it is not convenient for you to keep us, we w T ill go on. L. —Yes, oh yes, we’ll keep you. Alight. It will be dark before you can overtake the next house, and it is mighty hot too. Your horse looks mighty sorry, and 1 reckon you can take up with my fare. T.—Have you corn and fodder. L. —Yes, right smart of both. T, —Well, take my horse. L.—Here, Jack, carry this gentle man’s horse -to the lot. Give him a smart chance of corn and fodder. You hear. Jack.—Yes, Massa. Traveller goes into the house and asks for supper. Landlady.—Ann, ho ! Ann. (Ann answers.) Here, get some supper for this gentleman. Fry some bacon and make a hoe cake. Get a smart chance of bacon. Make a heap of coffee. You hear. (Ann answers.) Be peert now. (Turning to the traveller.) You come from Florida. I reckon. Landlord—(To the traveller.) You had a heap of bad road to-day. It has been mighty hot, too. Shall I tote your plunder (baggage) into the house? In the morning, the traveller asks for his bill. Landlord—Well, I charges for eating a man over night, 75 cents, 25 cents for sleeping him, and 50 cents for eat ing his horse. That makes, I reckon, about a dollar and a half. MRS. PARTINGTON This lady’s name is so often taken, that it may interest our readers to learn something of her history. She is supposed to be a fictitious person. — This is not so. She is truly one of flesh and blood: and with her presumed sayings, and actual doings, should be introduced generally to the American public. Mrs. Partington is, if not lately dead, as was asserted by Burke, of the Tus caloosa Moniter, a resident of Sidmouth. In the winter of 1824, an extraordina ry storm occurred in that town, and the waters of the Atlantic rose, and threatened to overflow it. Mrs. Part ington lived on the beach, and seeing the unusual breaches of the tide upon her premises, resolved to adopt the re medy, common with house-wives, on occasions of floods. Mounted on her pattens, with her mop in her hands, she vigourously assaulted the Atlantic ocean; as it rolled up its impudent waves on the beach, and kept up a very courageous pushing back, and wringing out. As the Atlantic shook its main, and rushed, more terrible, to the attack, every moment encroaching a foot, Mrs. Partington’s fury rose higher. But, though Mrs. Partington had conquered sundry duck puddles, and deluges of rain; and had even beaten Mr. Parting ton, in divers engagements; the swel ling sea was too much for her. Dis gusted, she fled from Sidmouth to America,-and has ever since been ut tering those wise things, which are ma king her so celebrated.— Eve. News. A MAN WHO DON’T READ PAPERS. We heard, some time ago, a story about a sedate, quiet, ease-loving citi zen, who was much tormented by the continual discussions and wranglings of the village politicians, that he resolved to saddle his horse, and proceed to some remote quiet part of the country, where politics were never talked, nor newspapers ever read. After a long and weary ride of many days, passing many settlements and cabins, the se date old gentleman reached the very outskirts of civilization, and halted his horse before a rude cabin, in the door of which sat an elderly man, clad in deer skins. “ Good day, my friend,” said the traveller. “ The same to you,” replied the own er of the cabin. “My friend, continued the traveller, “ have you any news ?” “ No, sir.” “ Any late papers !” “ No, sir.” “ Can you tell me what has been done with the Compromise Act ! ’ “ Haven’t the honor to know him.” “ Have you heard whether the Gal phin claim has been settled !” “ No, sir ; I’m a squatter —there are no claims here.” “ Have you any information of the probable admission of California! ’ “ Cally—what!” “ Never mind, sir. Perhaps, howev er, you can tell me what will be the probable course ofFilmore. “ Who in the devil is he!” “ That will do, my friend,” replied the traveller, getting off his horse, “ I desire to spend a month or so with you,” and accordingly he entered the settler’s cabin, and took up his quarters with his agreeable companion, and , no doubt, there now, far removed from the turmoil and excitement of politics. [. Exchange Paper jfnrts IFurtlj Straining. Weeds exhaust the strength of the ground, and if suffered to grow, may be called garden sins. Buy not, sell not, where self-respect is bartered, for that once lost, the main spring of honor is rusted and de cayed. There is no policy like politeness; and good manners is the best thing in the world, either to get a good name, or to supply the want of it. Great talent renders a man famous; great merit produces respect: great learning gains us esteem ; good breed ing alone insures love and affection. Cure for Corns. —lt is said that saleratus bound upon these trouble some visitors for a few w r eeks, changed occasionally, will effect an entire cure. Plants derive the greater part of their carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from water, and of their nitrogen from amonia and nitric acid. To Fumigate a Sick Room. —Make a strong solution of saltpetre, and thor oughly saturate common brown paper. When dry burn it in different parts of the room. It will quickly remove all unpleasant odours. To Preserve Flowers Fresh. —When cut flow r ers are withering, plunge about one-third of the stem in boiling water; by the time the water is cold they will revive. Then cut off’ the ends and put them in cold water, with a little nitre, when they will keep for several days. The bones of a bird are hollow and filled with air. If a string be tied round the neck of a sparrow, so that no air can enter its lungs, and its leg be broken, it will live. Respiration will take place by means of the broken bone. Take a sponge and wash the skin thoroughly with cold water, which must be followed by a good scrubbing with a coarse towel or cloth. Besides caus ing special good, such an occasion al practice contributes in the greatest degree to the general tone and health of the system. A celebrated writer on the sight says, that wearing veils permanently, weak ens many naturally very good eyes, on account of the endeavours of the eye to adjust itself to the ceaseless vibration of that too common article of dress. La dies, then, should beware of hiding their pretty eyes and faces, with veils. A gentleman near Waltham Abbey was experimenting a short time ago with the electric light, and having a wound in his left hand, he touched the conducting wire with it, and at once felt an irritation in his hand, and it be came swollen, and his whole body was soon covered with tumours. An eminent French statistical wri ter once took his station near the stair case at a London ball, for the purpose of ascertaining the proportion of gentle men who arranged their hair with their fingers before entering the room, lie found them to average about twenty nine out of thirty ; those who had least or most hair, usually occupying most time. To make Blacking. —Take of ivo ry black, tw r o ounces; sugar and gum arabic (in powder,) of each one ounce, and the white of one egg. Mix these ingredients well to gether, and then gradually add one pint of beer. In application, it is only ne cessary to free the boots or shoes from dirt,and use the blacking with a sponge or peice of rag. When dry, it assumes a polish without the aid of a brush. Dahlias. —Monseur de Candolle, in his essay on Dahlias, has observed, that it is not probable we shall ever see a blue one, since the variation is from purple to yellow'. He considers blue and yellow to be the fundamental types of the colours of flowers, and that they mutually exclude each other; yellow r passes readily into red or white, but never into blue; and, in like manner, blue flowers are changed by cultivation into red and white, but never into yel low. Until about forty years ago, no variety was known that did not possess a tinge of purple in its blossoms, and it wes even doubted whether a blossom entirely tinged with purple could be produced.

An experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to bring his Steel Pens to the highest state op perfec tion, and 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 nas ac quired.
