<fc>niis from tjir |tets. THE BUILDERS. BY PROFESSOR LONGFELLOW. All are architects of Jr ate, Working in these walls of Time, Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low ; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled ; Our to-days and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these ; Leave no yawning gaps between ; Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen, In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care, Each minute and unseen part: For the Gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen ; Make the house, where God may dwell, Beautiful, entire, and clean. Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb. Build to-day, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base ; And ascending and secure Shall to-morrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach ot sky. }MiilasD}il|tj for tljf ptojilr. From the Scientific American. MACHINE FOR THE ARTIFICAL PRO DUCTION OF ICE. Our constant readers may remember a communication published in Volume 4, respecting an invention of Dr. Gor rie, for the artificial production of ice. The communication was from New-Or leans, and it was answered in a cotem porary paper, seemingly from the same place, but it was unworthy of a notice from us. Since that time Dr. Gome, who is residing at Apalachicola, has matured his invention, after many ex periments and many failures, and has succeeded beyond expectation in pro ducing a machine which, by condensa tion and expansion of air, produces ice artificially, in quantity according to the size of the machine, and that is, in great abundance, at no gieat expense. He employs two force pumps, which are the principal parts of the machine. Into the pump for condensation of air, a smaller pump injects water in a fine shower, while the air is condensing, which thus absorbs the heat of the air that is given out in the act of compres sion. Between the condensing and expanding pumps there is an air reser voir, which is of considerable size, and made like a steam boiler. This vessel is intended to receive the condensed air and retard its passage, so as to af ford time for its effective cooling, and to act as a magazine of fore.} for work ing the expanding engine. The ex panding force pump is the principal and most interesting feature of the whole, because it is the a ent in which the expansion of the air, and the pro duction of the cold first takes place. All the other parts must be nicely ad justed in proportion to this part, for the making of the ice economically. The absorption of the heat is accelera ted by immersing this vessel in water, and causing a jet of liquid to be thrown into its interior, as into the condensing pump. The liquid is not congealable, and is withdrawn from a larger, though prop erly proportioned quantity, contained in an insulated cistern, into which, after performing its office of imparting heat to, or in other words, absorbing cold from the expanding air, it is returned through the eduction valves of the en gine. As the liquid of this cistern has its heat diminished at every stroke of the engine, by the extraction of the jet at one temperature, anu its return at a lower, it is practically a reservoir of cold, an accumulator of the refrige rative action of every cylinder full of expanding air. It is thus fitted to be the laboratory in which ice may be manufactured, and which it produces by abstracting the caloric of fluidity from water, immersed in it in suitable vessels. Cold of an intensity of even hun dreds of degrees below the atmos phere may be obtained by this process, but experiments show that the tempe rature of the cistern m st favourable to the rapid product'n >n ot ice, is at about 10'"’ F. The expanded air partakes of the same temperature as the cistern, and therefore, at 10? F., leaves it charged with a high degree of cold, which the economy of the scheme re quires should not be wasted. Instead, therefore of beingallowed to escape in to the atmosphere, it is directed through an apparatus —made like a brewer’s re frigerator for cooling worts —around which is placed the water it is intended to prepare for congealing. It has been ascertained that pumps of a cubic foot capacity, worked at a temperature of 1)0° Fahrenheit, and fifteen revolutions a minute, are ade quate to make a ton of ice per day. Dr. Gorrie is not the least ostenta tious about his discovery, and what speaks volumes for his generosity, like Dr. Arnot, he considers his invention a benefit to the human race, especially in warm climates, hence he gives it freely to the public, and seeks no exclusive privilege from government.

CORONATION OF JENNY THE FIRST —QUEEN OF THE AMERICANS. The moment it was known by what vessel Jenny Lind was about to cross the Atlantic, we dispatched an efficient corps of reporters and correspondents on board, w r ho were present in various disguises about the ship, for the pur pose of watchingevcry movement of the Nightingale. One of our most esteem ed contributors might have been seen flitting about in a dreadnought and sou’- wester, from spar to spar, and yard-arm to yard-arm, dodging the delicious song bird, as she hopped from paddle-box to paddle-box, utterly regardless of wind and wave, while a juvenile member of our extensive establishment was on board, in the humble disguise of a lob lolli-boy. It has been erroneously supposed, that because Mademoiselle Jenny Lind was seen to leave Liverpool waving her white handkerchief from the very top of the deck-house over the companion, and was seen to enter the American har bour waving the same white handker chief from the top of the same deck house, —it has been, w r e say erroneous ly, though naturally supposed, that, from the time of her starting to the mo ment of her arrival, Jenny Lind was constantly employed in the way in which she is represented to have com menced and terminated her journey.— We are enabled to assure the public, on the very best authority, that such is not the case. The time occupied in the voyage passed very pleasantly. Every even ing there was a concert for the benefit of somebody or other, concluding with one for the benefit of the crew, which was somewhat marred by the boister ous state of the weather. The piano was soon sent up to an inconveniently high pitch, the glasses insisted in join ing in, as musical glasses without much regard to harmony or effect, but keep ing up a sort of jingle during the whole time ; there was an occasional accom paniment of wind and stringed instru ments by Boreas playfully fearfully on the ropes of the rigging, and every now and then everything was rendered -a great deal too flat by a too rapid run ning up of the ascending scale und com ing very abruptly down again. The voyage having been safely got over, we now come to the proceedings in America; but we are bound to say that our contemporaries have so fully occupied theground —and their columns —that room is scarcely left even for us to say anything. For some days before the steamer was expected, New York was in a ‘tate of intense excitement, so that when the ship actually came in sight, the only mode the police had of keeping the en thusiasm of the crowd within decent bounds, was to check their cries by knocking the breath—as far as prac ticable—out of their bodies. Millions had their heads turned, and hundreds had their heads broken, but all was of no avail ; and in spite of the exer tions of the constabulary to stave off’ the people with their staves, the quays were in a state of dead lock from the throngs that covered them. As the vessel entered the harbour, the Night ingale was seen perched on the deck house, supported on either side by Messrs. Benedict and Beletti. Mr. Bar num, the enterprising showman who has speculated in Jenny Lind, as he has already done in Tom Thumb, and other popular idols, was running a race along the. pier with a Mr. Collins—per haps a rival showman—each holding an enormous bouquet, and a fearful strug gle took place as to which should be the first to clamber up the paddle-box. Barnum made a desperate spring on one side, while Collins took a terrific leap towards the other, and the latter being the more fortunate, or the more active of the two—or perhaps he had been taking lessons in gymnastics be forehand ofsome Indian-rubber brothers —succeeded in being the first to stand at the Nightingale’s side, and to present her with a nosegay twice the sizeofthat which Barnum pushed into her hand a moment afterwards. Either to see better or to escape from the energetic Collins and the frantic Barnum, Jenny Lind moved to the larboard wheel-house, and seeing the American flag, the Nightingale —with a sly sense of humour, no doubt, ex claimed, “There is the beautiful stand ard of freedom, the oppressed of all na tions worship it.” As the ship neared the pier, every mast seemed to be made of eyes, noses, and mouths; every window was a mass of heads, and the roofs of the houses looked as if they were slated with hu man beings, and had men and women for chimney-pots. The Nightingale was so struck with the respectability of a Yankee mob, that she asked “ where the poor were?” —intending, no doubt, if there had been any poor, to have sung at once —sung out from the top of the paddle-box —for their benefit. It now become time for Jenny Lind to land, and at the pier gates was drawn up in readiness Barnum’s car riage. When one hears of a show man’s carriage in this country ones mind naturally travels to a van into which the public is invited, indiscrimi nately, to “walk up;” but such was not the vehicle in which Barnum was pre pared to receive his Nightingale. The horses were figged out in a style well adapted to advertise the museum of which Barnum is proprietor; and, though the trappings were well calcu lated to act as trappings, and catch the eye of the vulgar, good taste could not help feeling that the “caparisons” were “odious.” The Nightingale entered the carriage with the assistance of Bar num, who then mounted the box, or dering his servant to make a circuit towards Irving House, it being very clear to all what he and his coachman were driving at. The progress to Irving House was one tremendous crush of beings, so densely packed together, that an ex ceedingly ripe cheese in spontaneous motion, is the only thing to which it would bear comparison. The Times , having devoted a first leader of nearly three columns to a di gest of the proceedings, including the telegraphing of Mrs. and Miss Barnum, who were coming up from Cincinnati; the rush of Bishop’s and Clergy, the crowd of fashionable ladies, the deadly scramble for the stone of the “identical peach” supposed to have been eaten by Jenny Lind at desart,the search for a “sensible old horse,” who must be a SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. rare animal among the tribe of sense less donkies in the States —these things, we say, having been sufficient ly dwelt upon elsewhere, we think reit eration of the facts would be superflu ous. We are, however, expecting to receive telegraphic dispatches of a somewhat startling character,nor should we be surprised if the next “ Latest from America” should announce the dissolution of the Republic, and the proclamation of Jenny Lind as Queen of the United States, with Barnum as chief Secretary for Foreign Affairs a post for which his long acquaintance with such foreign affairs as Tom Thumb, the Sea Serpent, and other contents of his museum, renders him fully quali fied. Our anticipations are realized, the following is the LATEST FROM AMERICA. JENNY LIND. By Electric Telegraph. Mr. Punch's Office , 85, Fleet St‘ Within a minute of going to press, we have received the following impor tant intelligence from Liverpool : “The Tarnation, Captain Smart, has just arrived from New York, after five days’ passage, and brings the following authentic information. “Jenny Lind does not return to Eu rope. On the conclusion of her en gagement (which will be considerably shortened) with Barnum, Jenny will be crowned Queen of the United States, the actual President politely retiring. Jenny accepts the office un der contract always to sing, in so many airs, to the people of the smartest na tion upon earth, what has been hitherto printed as President’s speeches. “Two stars and one stripe have been added to the American flag ; the stars are Jenny’s eyes, and the stripes a lock of Jenny’s hair.” (Erlrrtir of tbit A SONG OF THE RAILROAD. BY C. T. WOLFE. Through the mould and through the clay, Through the corn and through the hay, By the margin of the lake, O’er the river, through the brake, O’er the bleak and dreary moor, On we hie with screech and roar! Splashing ! flashing ! Crashing! dashing ! Over ridges, Gullies, bridges! By the bubbling rill, And mill— Highways, By-ways, Hollow hill— .Tumping—buntping— Rocking—roaring Like 40,G00 giants snoring ! By the lonely hut and mansion, By the ocean’s wide expansion, Where the factory chimney smokes, Where the foundry bellows croaks— Dash along! Slash along ! fSrash along ! Flash along, On ! on ! with a jump, And a bump, And a roll! Hies the fire-fiend to its destined goal! O’er the aqueduct and bog, On we fly with ceaseless jog, Every instant something new, Every instant lost to view. Now a tavern —now a steeple— Now a crowd of gaping people— Now a hollow'—now a ridge— Now a cross-way—now a bridge— Grumble—stumble— Rumble—tumble— Fretting—getting in a stew ! Church and steeple, gaping people— Quick as thought are lost to view, Every thing that eye can survey, Turns hurly-burly, topsy-turvy ! Each passenger is thumped and shaken, As physic is when to be taken. By the foundry, past the forge, Through the plain and mountain gorge, Where cathedral rears its head, Where repose the silent dead ! Monuments amid the grass, Flit like spectres as you pass! If to hail a friend inclined, Weish ! whirl! ka-swash !—he’s left behind! Rumble, tumble, all the day— Thus we pass the hours away. AFFECTED DEAFNESS. A stranger dismounted at the door of the Hotel, and gave his horse to the officious waiter. The barkeeper opened the register to take down his name. “ You are right,” said he, “a single room would be more agreeable,” and he walked into the supper room, to which the crowd of boarders were pas sing. The bar-keeper ran after him, screaming in his ear— “ YVh at name did you say? “Thank you,” said he, “1 can find the way, don’t put yourself to any trouble.” On his return to the bar-room, a waiter took up his saddle-bags, and told the deaf stranger he would show him his chamber. “My friend, who w ill spend the eve ning with me, prefers plain cherry,” said he “You may send up a bottle and a few cigars.” “1 did not,” said the bar-keeper, ex actly understand your name.” “1 think a little ice would improve the wine,” was the answer. “And now I think of it, you may put the bottle in a wine cooler.” 11 is friend now joined him, and they walked to his room together. The deaf lodger patronized the house to the extent of another bottle before he slept. The waiter who brought it up, ventured once more to inquire his name. “Nothing more,” said he, “except a slice of ham, a pickle, and a little bread and cheese.” The next morning after breakfast when the stranger’s horse was at the door, he was told that it was six dol lars and three quarters. “You are very kind —I had expected to pay you; but if this is your custom to charge nothing for the first visit, you shall not lose by it —all my friends in Spongeville will certainly give you at least one call when they come into this city —good morning.” “ 1 would thank you to pay your bill before you go,” screamed the bar keeper. “ I am obliged to you,” said the deaf gentleman, “1 can put them on,” and he took up his saddle-bags and de parted. As he mounted, the by-stand ers began to laugh immoderately at the awkward embarrassment which afilict the bar-keeper, who was in despair, while he bawled after the delinquent, who continued bowing, repeating his assurances that he would certainly ren member the accommodations, civility and liberality of the house, and recom mend it to all his friends who might pass through the city. The gentle man who so well affected deafness, won the wager he had staked on the success of his scheme, and paid his bill the next time he visited the city. MAD DOG. Speaking of dogs reminds nte of a capital joke that occurred here, undone too, of one, too, of the coolest sort. S , a well known sporting man, one who kept fast crabs, and boasted on his shooting powers, had several very fine dogs of which he was particularly fond, and allowed the largest liberty. Seatel one day in one of the “principal hotels his dogs wandered around and at length began to make very familiar with a portly old gentleman, who was busily engaged reading. A. moment passed, and the cane of the corpulent one was applied with no light hand to the canine. A tremendous yell called S —- t to his feet with words the entire reverse of soft upon his tongue. “Who the and 1 struck my dog?” “I did it, sir.” “You did?” “Yes, sir—l did.” “What the hell did you strike him for?” “Because he’s mad !” “Mad ? He’s no more mad than I am ?” “Ain’t mad!’ Well, by the Lord, I would be if any one was to strike me so.” The explosion that followed this icy reply cannot well be described, and S , dog and all soon vamosed ; but which was maddest ot the two it would not be easy to describe. In the Wrong Pocket. —The Cos hocton Democrat tells a capital joke up on an opposition candidate for Govern or of Ohio. During a speech of his at a place on the reserve, he preceded to descant upon the extravagance of the age, declaring himself to be one of the plain yeomanry; and an old silver‘bull’s eye,’ that cost him ten dollars was all the watch he ever carried and it was plenty good enough for him; and to illustrate the fact, the judge put his hand into his pocket and drew forth—not a silver “bull’s eye,” but a magnificent gold re peater! The shouts of the crowd can be better imagined than described,while the would-be governor made a most pre cipitate retreat. WHAT WE CALL DUTIES. Every man ought to pay his debts —if he can. Every man ought to help his neigh bor —if he can. Every young man and woman ought to get married —if they can. Every Representative in Congress and the Legislature ought to inform their constituents what they are doing —if they can. Every man should do his work to please his customers —if he can. Every man should please his wife — if he can. Every wife should rule her husband —if she can. Every wife should sometimes hold her tongue —if she can. very lawyer should tell the truth —if he can. Every preacher of the gospel should be a Christian —if he can. And finally, every reader should add to the above something good —if he can. f arte ffortlj Iftimining.

The distance of the remotest fixed stars supposed to be the nebulous clusters, may be but conceived by Herschel’s idea that the light has been 48,000 years progressing to us at its velocity of a million of miles in five seconds. The Baptists have in the Island of Jamaica thirty-five thousand church members; the Methodists twenty-four thousand. The number of children in the schools is estimated at forty thousand.

CAUTION.-Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil lott’s style of Label, Ids 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 Pens have a sac simile of his signature on the reverseside. None other are genuine. This caution espe cially refers to his original No. 303, the great popularity ol 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.
