iLStms from tlie From the New-York Tribune. A REQUIEM. BY MRS. H. J- LEWIS. Bending near the altar dim, Breath a low funereal hymn For a young soul called away Ere the noon-tide of its day. For the sleeper on the bier Drop no more regretful tear. Lo ! the tranquil dust you see Is but dust —the soul is free ! Earth one bounding step hath lost; Busy hands are sohly crossed ; Eyes whose gleams were spirit-born, Ope no more to greet the morn ; Lips, once wreathed with smiles, are now’ Pale as is the sleeper’s brow, And their tones of love were hushed In the storm that o’er us rushed. Give the sleeper back to God ! Dust to mingle with the sod, Soul to rise on cherub’s wings To the source whence comfort springs. She by death w'as not dismayed— ’Twas but passing through the shade To the land where such have rest On the gentle Saviour’s breast. Stormy was the road she trod, But it led her back to God ! MOWN. By the strange beating of my heart, Finding no place for all its joy— By those soft tears that wet my cheek, Like dew drops from the summer sky— By this wild rush through every vein This choked and trembling tone, Surcharged with bliss it cannot tell— I feel thou art my own. And yet it cannot all be true, I’ve dreamed a ihousaud wilder dreams; But this is brighter wdlder far, Phan even the wildest seems, I’ve dreamed of wondrous spirit climes, Os glories and ot blisses won ; But ne’er before did vision come, To say thou we t my own ! My own ! my own! thus gazing on, My life-breath seems to ebb away ; And o’er and o’er and still again, The same dear words I say ! I know—l know’ it must be true, And here with heaven and love alone, I hold thee next rny heart of hearts, For thou ait all my own ! THE BIRD’S SONG. ONE OF JENNY LIND’S MOST POPULAR SONGS. Birdling ! why sing in the forest wide ? Say why ! say why ! Call’st thou the Bridegroom or the Bride ? And why ? and why ? “ I call no Bridegroom—call no Bride, Although I sing in the forest wide, Nor know I why I’m singing.” Birdling ! why is thy heart so blest ? Oh say ! oh say ! Music o’erflowing from thy breast ? Oh say ! oh say ! “My heart is full—and yet is light, My heart is glad in day or night, Nor know I why I’m singing.” Birdling ! why sing you all the day ? Oh tell! oh tell! Do any listen to thy lay ? Oh tell! oh tell! “I care not w'hat my song may be, Now this, now that, I warble free, Nor know, yet must be singing.” for tljc pro|jlr. SPECTACLES. A simple Hibernian, who knew not one letter from another, once bought a pair of spectacles to enable him to read ; and we must say that there are thousands who, if they do not buy spec tacles for the same object as Paddy, yet they have no more knowledge con cerniyg their nature and true office than he. A pair of spectacles is an optical instrument, which is made from a knowledge of the laws of light. The minutest point of an illuminated ob ject darts out its rays in all directions, like the spokes of a wheel, and strike the eye through the whole extent of its outer surface: millions of points of light are discharged upon the eye, and its office is to reduce these rays to order. A ray bends when it enters anew sub stance,if that substance is rarer or dens er than the substance through which it passed before. The eye gathers as it were, the spreading rays into a bundle, till they meet in a point, like that from which they started. The eye, therefore, bends the rays of light, and brings them to a focus, and the picture of an object must be painted on the retina, at the back of the eye, therefore the rays of light must not be brought together be fore the retina, nor behind it, but upon it, otherwise the sight will confounded ; it is this confusion of sight which spectacles are designed to cor rect. In advancing years the eyes lose a part of their bending power, for the ball and crystalline lens get flatter, and their globular shape has a principal share in producing the effect. The rays are not drawn inwards with suffi cient force, and arrive at the retina be fore they can meet in a point. A curv ed glass operates upon light like the eye itself, but interposed before it does a portion of its work. The rays are bent in passing through the glass, and the eye, which was incompetent to the entire task, is able to complete what the glass begins. \\ hen the organ is nearly equal to its duty, a slight curva ture, just enough to make good the deficiency, is given to the spectacles, and as the eye fails, there rotundity is increased; an exact proportion is thus kept up between the demand of nature and the supply of art. Though near objects require specta cles to show- them distinctly, those more distant may be seen in perfection without their assistance. Since the rays of light from a point keep separating as they travel, all which bianchout wide ly, are soon too far asunder to fall within the narrow circle of the eye. The least divergent alone hit it, and these are the easiest reduced to union. But an eye brought close to the object catches the divergent rays at there source and, if its capabilities are diminish ed, is unable to master them. Here spectacles are a necessary aid, while the lesser task is readily performed by the naked eye. One of the earliest in dications of an alteration in sight is the holding a book further off than be fore, to get rid of the unmanageable part of the light. Some eyes, which are over-round, re fract the rays in excess, and bring them to a focus in front of the retina ; the re sult is shortness of sight. The eye must come nearer to what it wants to distinguish, and imbibe those spreading rays which demand an additional bend ing equal to its own superfluity of power. Hollowed or concave glasses obviate the need for greater proximity. As round or convex spectacles draw in the rays, so these turn them out till there increased divergence is equivalent to the superior force of the eye. Thus spec’ acles are a remedy for opposite de fec.s One sees obscurely what is un der Ins nose—another is blind to all that is not.— Sci. American. Pumping a Lake Dry. —Dr. J. V. C. Smith, the editor of the Boston Med ical Surgical Journal , who is now on a visit to Europe, gives an interesting description, in his editorial correspon dence from Holland, of the manner in which the Lake of Haarlem is being drained by steam engines, and its wa ters sent to the sea. “Six miles from Amsterdam is the inland lake of Haarlem, ‘2l miles long by 11 in width, which, three hundred years ago, was found to be preceptibly increasing bv shooting its waters fur ther and further, and covering up the, land, threatening the first commercial port of the realm with destruction by flowing in upon its bank. Various schemes at that remote epoch were de vised by able counsellors to stay the threatening danger. Three Ducth en gineers, of acknowledged abillity, pro posed draining oflf the water, first rais ing it by wind mills. They are entitled to remembrance, from having suggest ed the plan adopted in 1849 for avert ing an impending calamity. Seven years since, delay being no longer safe, a canal was dug around the whole circumference of the lake, aver aging “200 feet in width by ten deep. Three monster engines are housed on the sides of the lake, some six or eight miles apart, each moving eight mon strous pumps. All the pistons are raised at once, at every revolution of machine ry raising 15,000 gallons of water, which is emptied into the canal, whence it is hastened on by a fourth engine faster than it would otherwise move to the Zuyder Zee, and thus it reaches the sea, fifteen miles distant. In April, 1849, the pumps worked by three of the mightiest steam engines perhaps ever constructed, were set in motion, and up to this, July 25th, have lowerd the con tents of the lake seven feet. By next April it is anticipated that the bottom will be fairly exposed, and all the wa ter conveyed away from this ancient basin. All this is executed at the ex pense of Goverment” How to get to Sleep is to many per sons a matter of high importance. Nerv ous persons,who are troubled with wake fulness and excitability, usually have a strong tendency of blood to the brain, with cold extremities. The pressure of blood on the brain keeps it in a sti mulated or wakeful state, and the pul sations in the head on lying down are painful. Let such rise, chafe the body and extremities with a crash towel, or rub smartly with the hands, to promote uniform circulation, and withdraw the excessive amount from the brain, and they will fall asleep in a few moments. A cold bath or sponge bath, and rub bing, or a good run, or rapid walk in the open air, or goi> g up or down stairs a few times, just before retiring, will aid in equalizing circulation and promoting sleep. These rules are simple,and easy of application in castle or cabin, and may minister to the comfort of thou sands who would freely expend money for an anodyne to promote ‘nature’s sweet restorer, balmy sleep.’ So says somebody ; we don’t know who. Wine Making. —Gather the grapes when very ripe; pick ofl’ the unsound and unripe berries. The bunches are then mashed in a mashing tub, or press ed through a small mill, breaking skin but not the seed, and thrown into the press, and the screw applied until the skins are pressed dry. Fermentation is very simple. The juce is put into clean casks, in a cool cel lar, and the casks filled within about four or five inches of the bung and the bung put on loosely. The gas escapes, but the wine does not run over. In from two to four weeks, generally, the fermentation ceases, and the wine clears; then till up the casks and tighten the bungs. In February or March, rack off into clean casks. In the spring, a mo derate fermentation will again take place; after that, the wine refines itself, and is ready for bottling or barreling. Use no brandy or sugar, if the grapes are sound and well ripened. Keep bun ged up or corked tight, and in a cool cellar, and the wine will improve by age for many years.— Sci. American. II filings nt 1\ niiitam. It is said there is a man down town so lean and thin that he can’t feel him self in a dark night. A clergyman told an Indian he should love his enemies. “ I do,” said the lat ter, “for 1 love rum and cider.” A lady asked her physician if snuff was injurious to the brains? “No,” said he, “for nobody who has any brains ever takes snuff.” The figures expressing the number of these United States have at last changed, the old “ 13” is turned round into 31. A Kentucky editor, strongly opposed to camp meetings, says he has no no tion of “camping out on his road to heaven.” “lam like Balaam,” said a dandy on meeting pretty girl in a passage, “stopped by an angel.” “And 1 am like the angel,” said she, “stopped by an ass.” “Jim, does your mother ever whip you?” “No; but she does a precious sight worse, though!” “ What’s that?” “ Why she washes my face every morning.” A movement has been made in Phil adelphia, with a view of establishing a school of design for women. An’t there designing women enough now? The original Mrs. Partington re marked to us, quite recently, that there were so many intimations of her, now a-days, she hardly knew 7 how to indem nify herself. “Tom, stand out of the way of that gentleman.” “ How do you know he is a gentle man?” “ Because he has got on striped trow sers.” EPIGRAM. While her cheeks youth's glow display, ’Tis strange Maria’s teeth decay! Some say, and truly say, no doubt, Her ceaseless tongue ’tis wears ’em out! ON A COMPANY OF BAD DANCERS TO GOOD MUSIC. How ill the motion with the music suits, So Orpheus fiddled, and so danc’d the brutes! SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. 51 Ueulilrt of A REGULAR ( H A MMER. “ A recent advertisement in the Times commenced as follows; “A lady of the highest qualifica tions is desirous of a bed-room and dinner.” We presume the “ highest qualifica tions” must be construed as applying to the “dinner,” and we may infer, therefore, that the “ lady ” is blest with an awful appetite. Taking this into consideration, we suspect that the ad vertiser will meet with very few who would not prefer her room—that is to say, the bed-room she is in want of— to her company. One might as well admit a young wolf int* one’s family as a lady “desirous of a dinner,” and possessing the “highest qualifications” with regard to it. When poor little Cuffey, the Chartist captive, was asked hew he liked the prison fare, he can didly declared his ability to “dispose of more;” but the avowal of the ad uertising lady is still more to the point, and if we let lodgings, we should differ from Othello in thinking it a hardship to be able to “call such delicate crea tures ours, but not their appetites. LAYING THE DUST. Ladies can, we know, sometimes go to very great lengths in dress ; but the gown has lately got to such a pitch, and so much latitude is taken in the way of longitude, that there is no knowing where it will end. We have found, occasionally, very great incon venience in our walks, by following,as excursionists, such a train as that which female fashion seems to entail on all its votaries. It says as little for the ankles as it does for the understandings of the fair sex of the present day, that they are compelled to hide their bad feet by at least one yard of superfluous dra pery. In addition to the untidy and unsightly character of the proceeding, the dust raised is so great a nuisance, that every lady appearing in the cos tume of the period ought to be com pelled to have a page in attendance, with a watering-pot, wherever she goes. THE SUMMIT OE HIS AMBITION. Louis Napoleon is busy practising in climbing a Mdt de Cocagne. The hoop on the summit is festooned with legs and shoulders of ham and large joints of cold veal, and embellished with a beautiful garland of bottles of Cham pagne. The whole is surmounted with a glittering prize of the Imperial I )iadem. Louis Napoleon practices several hours a day in climbing this greasy pole, which is stationed for his especial study in one of the inner Courts of the Ely see, but he begins to find “ how hard it is to climb,” and that he makes but little way with all his violent attempts at progress. He still clings to the slippery hope, however, of being able, by the time the next election for Presi dent, comes on, to get to the top of the Pole! THE STATE OF THE SERPEN TINE. Quidnuncs used to inquire What’s in the Wind 1 ? but the question that really waits for solution in these days is, What’s in the Water? The Ser pentine is a subject that now invites inquiry, hut we are not at all disposed to go deeply into it. Its bed is in such a dirty state, that a clean sheet of wa ter is thrown away upon it, and when the public apply to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the only an swer returned is a wet blanket. It lias been proposed to draw off public indignation from the Serpentine by drawing ofl’ the water altogether, hut there is something at the bottom of all this, which renders it unsafe to try the experiment. SHALL ENGLAND SWALLOW THE LEEK? An attempt is being made to get up a sort of political excitement in Wales, in favour of the Welsh language; and Ap Somebody, whose name begins with half-a-dozen gutturals, supported in the centre by three or four W’s, and end ing with a rush of labials, wants to know, in reference to the adoption of plain English in Wales, “whether the W elsh tongue is to he torn out by the roots.” We have no wish for such an act of violence ; but, all we have to say is, that the Welsh tongue does not at all suit the English palate. STRANGE, BUT TRUE. We have been told—for really our ignorance of Debreet’s Peerage almost amounts to an insult to the House of Lords—that the English title of the Duke of Athol 1 is “Lord Strange.”— This is, to say the least, very strange; but, at all events, no one can call the liberal-minded Duke—considering the habit he lias of blocking up public thoroughfares,and closing everything— “ Loud Passing Strange.” How to Rise in France.— The way to rise in France is to take your stand, early in life, on an inkstand. The shortest cut to the Chamber is through an editor’s room. To become a leader, you must have been in the habit of tossing off one every day, in some newspaper or other. The best plan of gaining a portfolio is to prove you are possessed of a pen; and, the portfolio once gained, it depends upon the power of your pen how long you can keep it. Every Frenchman, as soon as he lias learnt to write, carries a portfolio in his head. Temperance Wine. —There is a wine advertised, called “Exhibition Wine.” This is an unhappy title, we think, for w hat man in his senses w ould drink much of a wine that, with every sip he took, held up before his eyes the re proving word “Exhibition?” He would naturally count his glasses, lest, from drinking too much, he should ultimate ly make an Exhibition of himself. Charity Begins After Dinner.— That peculiar kind of Charity which excels in eating a dinner and giving a subscription after it r has been ably characterized by a waiter at the Lon don Tavern as “The-Knife-and-Fork out-Charity.” No Thoroughfare. — A Court is generally a cul-de-sac. This is why w 7 e call Chancery a Court; because when a person once gets into the Court of Chancery, he never can find his way out of it. The Leading French Actor.—A man ought to be a good actor to govern the French; and some say that Louis Napoleon plays his part, as President of that melodramatic people, pretty well. But, in his acting towards the Press, he is a vast deal too liberal with his “gag.” ißrljrtir ts tbit. Poetry. — Would that some of our poetical correspondents would follow the advice which we here subjoin. The Knickerbocker says: “There are some good stanzas in the ‘ Lines to Julia,’ but’as a whole, the piece is deficient. We annex two of t In’ best verses: ‘ I know a tender maiden, As gentle as the spring, As summer showers, or summer flowers, Or any lovely thing. But yet this tender maiden Gareth no more for me Than ’mid the stars the pale moon cares For the poor love-sick sea.” Then don’t bother her, if she don’t ‘care any thing for you!’ Don’t go about whining like a sick monkey. — Look up somebody who will care for you, if you are worth being cared for. ‘ P’r’aps you ain’t.” W ioked. — Pete. (Slightly coloured.) Sambo, this ere sinner insinuate that you being a self-respectable gemman of colour loves darkness rather than light. Sambo. Well I does make like of darkness. 1 confess. But I is not wicked , and 1 want you to tell me what sort of wickedness always seeks the light. Pete. Nothing could be more im possible, Sambo. Sambo. No? Well then, it is the wickedness of all luminaries, such as lamps and candles. Pete. You may go out, Sambo, you is distinguished. Two Impediments. A hand ;ome young Yankee nedler made love to a buxom widow in Pennsylvania. lie accompanied his declaration with two impediments to their union. “ Name them,” said the widow. “The want of means to set up a re tail store is the first,” replied the pedler. They parted, and she sent the pedler a check for ample means. When they me s again, the pedler had hired and stocked his store, and the smiling fair one begged to know the other impedi ment. “ 1 have another wife !” cried the no tion dealer. Coleridge and his Schoolmaster — Coleridge, I am told, said he dreamt of the master all his life, and that his dreams were horrible. A bon mot of his is recorded, very characteristic both of pupil and master. Coleridge, when lie heard of his death, said, “It was very lucky that the cherubim who took him to heaven were nothing hut faces and wings, or he would infallibly have flogged them on the wav.” — Leigh Hunt’s Autobiography. A Cool Reply. —An Indian prince, remarkable for his pride and ill-humour, once walking to the window of his pre sence-chamber with a foreign ambassa dor, said to him—“ Do you know, sir, that one of my ancestors forced a per son of your description from this bal cony into the street.” “It may be so,” was the reply, “hut probably it was not the fashion then, as it is now, for am bassadors to wear swords.” Fireman’s Toast. —At an entertain ment given by an Engine Company at Burlington, Yt., the other day, J. G. Saxe, Esq., uttered the following excel lent toast: “ If Prometheus was worthy of the wrath of heaven, for kindling the first fire upon earth, how ought all the gods to honour the men who make it their professional business to put it out ?” Darkey Colloquy. —“Sambo, why am dis rope, which 1 hab in my hands, like confusion wus confounded ? Gib him up?” “Yes, I guv him up.” ,‘Why, what an unpenetratum nig ger you is! Bekase it is dis cord , you long-headed son of darkness. Yah, yah, aha !” Yankee Blade. £3f ==> A lady was travelling in a stage coach with a troublesome dog.— A gentleman complained of the an noyance. “ Dear me, sir,” exclaim jd the lady, “ 1 wonder you complain of my dog— everybody admires it—it is real Peru vian.” “ I don’t complain of your Peruvian dog,” said the man; “ but I wish he would give us less of his Peruvian bark.” “ Come along with me, you old reprobate!” shouted a policeman (‘232 X) to a poor Irishwoman, who had let her basket of eggs drop on the pave ment, and broken them. “Come along with me!” “ Och, faix ! Misther Peel er,” said the poor woman, “ why should you be afther taking me up afore the magistrates?” “ Why, you double dis tilled old varmint, isn’t I tuking you up for smashing ?” “Julius, was yer eber troubled wid de aberration of mind?” “ No, I was crazy once and that satis lied this child. For two days I was chased all around towui by a brick house, and what’s wors *, I w’ould never got away from it if a liberty pole had not up foot and kicked me overboard.” [Dutchman. A young lady stepped into a store of a merchant by the name of Wade, and very innocently said, she would like to be weighed (Wade). — “Really I am very sorry,” said he, “but my wife would tell you that you are too late by a couple of years.” Coming at it. —“ I didn’t say I saw him do itsaid a witness in Court the other day, ‘but Isaw 7 a coat, and hat, and pantaloons about the spot where the article was stolen, and I'll he dog my cat and if he (tint in ‘em now!” American Ice. —Sydney Smith, in London, was shown a lump of Ameri can ice, upon which he remarked, “that he was glad to see any thing solvent come from America.” HOGAN A THOMPSON WHOLESALE BOOKSELLERS AND STATIONERS, .Vo. 30 North Fourth street, Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, June, 1850. ts JOSEPH GILLOTT’S STEEL PEAS. MANUFACTURER’S WAREHOUS E, 91 JOHN-STREET, NEW YORK. A LARGE stock of these well known PENS constantly on hand, for sale as above. CAUTION. —Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil lott’b style ok Label, his mode of putting up his Pens, and also Designating Numbers, he desires to give tlie 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 reverse side. 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 m akers. 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 Pen? are not made by him, although asserted to be. An experience of thirty years lias enabled Mr. Gillott to ring his Steel Pens to the highest state ok perkec tion, and the liberal patronage which he has long enjoyed at the handsof theAmeriean public,will incite him to con tinued exertion to maintain the favor which he has ac quired HENRY OWEN Agent.
