(gnus from tjjc TWILIGHT in EGYPT. BY B. ‘V. BALL. Round the Cuy of the Sun, And Mekattua’e mountains dun, Fa.-t the woof of night *3 spun, Planets thro’ it gleaming; VGta'd columns -Letch in rows, On whose tops w.tli massive brows Sphinxes lion-limbed repose In the twilight d.eum.ng. Shines Canopus high and calm Over Baud and waving palm, Wh.le the sea-Winds strewing balm, Make the Lotos qnver. Limned upon tne rising moon Sculptured demons Irown and gloom, Pedea il’d amid the spume Os the Copt.c river. Vale, to the dying day Memnon’s lips ot marble say, D.u kinig mid the shadows g.ev, Which around them gather, Gad led by the swelling stream 1. Iniid-like the c.ties gleam, O’er tbcir imaged temples lean ! In tile blue that waver. Gilded by the lunar disc, Pyramid and obelisk Towering stand, their bases kissed By the gulling water. Lake-I,ke spreads the teitde tide, Vedtng all the valiey side, To and fro the shallops gnde, Filled with m.t th and mughier. INVITATION TO THE HOLIDAY VAN. Fair seamstress, lay the needle by ; Quick, pul thy things on, Mary Anne ; We’ll have a frol.c, t tou and I; We’tl go to Upping in the van; Nay, wherefore heave that doubtful sigh ? Pit treat thee, dearest, like a mail ! I’ll lead thee to a garden, where Strawberries in rich profusion grow ; They’ll charge us for admission there, Only a shilling each,or so; And all the fru.t thou eanst, my fair, Beneath that zone they'll let thee stow. Or, stealing from the noisy throng. We'll seek a snug sequester'd cot, Whe.e we may take our own souchong, And be supplied with water hot. The day is heavenly—come along ! See here, some shrimps Tve also got. No longer tarry —shut up shop, I’hou precious l.ttle busy bee ; We’ll quaff the foaming ginger pop, And sij) the fragrant dt h of tea : So, cutting work, those scissors drop, And coine to Epping, love, with tne! [Punch’s Holidays. A DREAM OF BLISS. BY M. T. CARPENTER. Cold is the heart that all unmoved can listen To the*'oft bieathings of thy lute-I,ke voice ; And soulless is the eye that will nyt glisten, As thy rapt strains bid kindred souis rejoice; 1 And ne’er to him was one pure impulse given, Who could behold,and hear thee, and forget; i Small chance his spirit hath of gaining Heaven ; His star of hope in darkness lingers yet. As on mine ear those notes are sweetly thrilling, ! The world’s harsh sorrows vuickly disappear; I And dreams, as pure and bright my soul are | tilling, As earliest light on Eden’s happy sphere. If life were all like this, eaith were Eiysian Without one stain of sin, or pang of woe; But soon thy strain will cease, and fade my vision, As all things beautiful must fade below. [ The Jackson Star. Milnsojijni for tjjc Ifoujih. MR. HACKER’S CAR FACTORY. We extract the following descrip tion of Mr. Hacker’s manufactory from an editoral in the Evening News: “Mr. Ilacker has engaged in the Busi ness of manufacturing railway cars. In a small room occupying a space of some twelve feet, is worked a high pres, sure steam engine of twelve horse [low er. In an adjoining room of some 80 By 50, is a mass of machinery, put into operation By this engine, which seems to do everything lint talk. First we have a piece of mechanism, which cuts, with great facility, male and female screws. I iicn an extensive planing ma- j chine, which trims otf'the rough outside of planks of anv thickness. Near it stands a machine for boring; and itsfel low-helper the mortising instrument, j On the other side of the shop is acir- ! cular saw, and near it a tongue and grov ing machine, and also one for making tennons, One great band communi cating with tiie engine puts into motion a wheel, which, By other bands, sets other smaller ones going. With great facility, either piece of machinery is j put into motion, or stopped, at plea- ! sure. The rough lumber is thrown j into the yard from tlie saw mill. It is taken into the shop, planed, bored, ! mortised, tennoned, cut into strips, i tongued and grooved, all by the action , of a little asthmatic piece of machinery, i which, in a room to itself, keeps at I work, puffiing and blowing, from morn ing to night. Mr. Hacker lias made, since he began, if we understood him rightly, some eighty cars, of various classes—some for our own, some for the Charlotte, some for the Greenville road. “He is now finishing several bag- j gage ears, and a passenger car, which deserves especial notice. It is really , beautiful and very stable piece of j workmanship, and when put upon the j road will, we guarantee, in fu ish, and j capacity for durability, rival the best | Northern work ever brought here. It is built in such a way as to render it almost impossible that it’ should give way. Between the in and outside planks an arch of iron extends, so as to guard against all pressure from above. ■ Ribs of iron are placed latterally, through which rivets pass, within short I distances, and hold the whole firmly together. The painting now beingdone ■ is of superior finish; and the interior is constructed on anew and exceedingly convenient plan. Air. Ilacker, a gal lant man, not forgetful of the duty all men owe to the gentler sex, has ar ranged the car especially for their com fort. “ We confess we derived very great pleasure from this visit, and viewed the arrangements of Mr. Hacker with great satisfaction. This is the kind of patri otism which tells for the prosperity of South Carolina. Happy will it be for the whole South, if, imitating this model of industry, she feels the neces sity of being independent in every branch of trade and mechanism. Ilalf a-dozen establishments like this, two or three (iranitevilles, a few steamers sent to Europe with our cotton, and return ing with articles needed, in exchange, will do more to bring our Northern fiiends to their senses than all the reso lutions winch may Be passed till dooms day. W e cannot speak in terms of too high Commendation of Mr. Ilacker, and ot those, who encourage him. The direction of the railway deserve par ticular approbation for determining to put native ears on the road The ex ample set by Mr. Ilacker will rouse the emulation of our native workmen, and end the madness of promoting for egn manufactures —a practice which has drained the South of her best means, kept her resources undeveloped, and stifled the infant energies of her sons.” CAPT. TAGGAiIKfAERIAL PRO PELLER. Captain John Taggart has arrived in this city, and is at Dunlap’s Hotel, Fulton-street, with his aerial propelling apparatus, the same with which he made his ascent at Lowell on the last 4th of July, and with which he made an ascent at Boston. We have exam ined the apparatus, and we believe it to be the most simple and effective that has as yet been brought before the public. He employs a little car, which is shaped like a small boat, and has it suspended in the usual way below the balloon. Attached to this car there are two propeller fans, one on each side, w hich are shaped nearly like a volute, and these he can set to any angle, by their having pinions on their inner ends, w hich can be moved round on two stationary side gear wheels, and in any position they can be driven by a crank inside of the car. As they are easily set at any angle, they are man awed to g ’ide the balloon in anv direc r> o • _ • tion—up, down, and to any side. It is not intended to go against the wind, but to take advantage of the current*, and to move in auy direction to a tar vouruble from an adverse current. Ihe aerial voyage which the Captain made from Lowell, was something of a cir cular journey, for he went up, off, and came home again the same evening, without stopping at any half way house above to take a luncheon. FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE. BY E. A. KITTKEDGE. I feel it my duty to throw out a hint now and then to my fellow beings, hop ing thereby to save some unnecessary pain, if not lives. As Eating is the great business of life, 1 begin with that. “ What shall I eat, Doctor?” is the only question with most folks. An\thing that is wholesome, that agrees with your peculiar constitution. But be verv careful how you eat it, where you eat it, and how much of it you eat. A man may injure himself very much by eating improperly, and yet not over eat. It is a very common saying among invalids, “Oh, I can't see how it is; 1 don’t eat hall so much as common folks, who don’t work so hard as I do either, and yet I have the dyspepsia all the time, and they don’t have it at all!” The reason is that you and such as you keep the brain overstocked all the time, and even eat while the brain is hard at work ! Now you must remem ber that the stomach and other organs depend upon the brain fortheir strength and jiower to act. Consequently, if you overwork the brain, the nervous force which should go to these organs is wasted, and of course the stomach, liver, &c., mnst lose their tone, and in digestion and all its attendant train of evils must ensue. Again, you eat in a hurry. Now this is a thing above all things, that should be well done, which never is when done in a hurry. The food, in order to “set well” and be readily digested, should be thor oughly masticated, in order to have it completely saturated with the spittleor “saliva,” and then, and not till then, is it fit to go into the human stomach. True, a strong, robust, healthy man, | can do almost any thing with impunity for a w hile, but sooner or later he will have to pay the penalty of his rashness. But the majority of men are not ! strong or healthy, and such have to be ; careful, or they suffer. Let vour food be well cooked, if ! cook at all, and then eat it slowly. Be careful, also, not to eat if too hot. Much mischief is done by putting food and drink into the stomach which is so hot as to destroy the healthy action of the stomach. Process of Engraving upon Ivory. The process used to cover w ith orna mental designs in black, consists in en graving in the ivory itself —and the filling in ihe designs with a black, hard varnish. To obtain finer and more re gular designs, the ivory is to be cover ed with the common ground, and by means of the paint, the designs are en graved upon it; they are then eaten in by a solution formed as follows; fine silver, 6 parts; nitric acid, 30 parts; distilled water, 125 parts. At the end of about half an hour, according to the depth to be given, it is to be washed with distilled water, and dried with bibulous | aper. The design is then exposed for an hour to the solar light, and the layer of wax is removed by spirits of turpentine. The design has then a black colour or a dark brown, which blackens entirely at the end of one or two days. Other colours may be produced by replacing the solution of gold or platina in aqua regia, or of copper in nitric acid. f Revue Scientijique. Dog Days. —The reason why the in tervening days between the 30th ot July and the* 10th of September are (•tilled “dog days,” is an astronomical one, and not in the least relating to dogs or hydrophobia. The sun’s path, as it is called, but more properly the earth’s orbit, is divided into parts, which are noted by certain fixed stars, or clusters of stars. From July 30 to September 10, the sun’s path lies under the star Sirius, which is the constellation of the Great Dog, (an astronomical sign.) — This constellation consist of thirty-one j stars, of which Sirius is the brightest, ! and hence it is often called the Dog i star. Hence, dog days, or days of the Dos star. Let the reader remember this. Mesmerism as a Aleciianical Pow er. —Some most interesting experi ments by Dr. Elliotson, in which pa tients, by a reinforcement of mesmeric power, were show n capable of swinging round large weights impossible to be even lifted bij them in their ordinary condition, prove an intimate connexion between the mesmeric medium and the muscular force, which, as every one knows, is dependent on the state of the nerves, and by them conducted from the brain. And so also with natural sleep-walkers, “they will stand self balanced on the ridge of a house, where, under the usual conditions of conscious ness, they could not preserve their eqi librium for a single moment.” — Rev. C. 11. Townsend's Facts in Mesmerism. SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. 1 Column Crertrb In ,ftm. EFFECTS OF SCOTCH WHISKEY. Old Judge 8., of South Carolina, was a great admirer of whiskey punch. One night, on circuit, some scamps of lawyers, after the old gentleman was pretty oblivious, determined to play him a trick, and letting the inn-keeper into the joke, wrapped a number of th; latter’s silver spoons in a handkerchief, and stowed them away in the JudgeY trunk. The next morning, while the stage was leisurely wading through a stretch of sandy road, who should overtake them at full speed But the ta vern-keeper, who, with much apparent embarrassment made his errand known. He informed the party that he had missed some spoons from his house, and, as he intended making a thorough search, he was afraid some he suspect ed would not let him do so. But if he should say to them, “You needn't be so particular now ; I’ve just left Judge B and Air. So-and-So, and they didn’t hinder me, the rogues wouldn t have a word to say in excuse.” “ Oh, ce-tainly, certainly!” cried everybody, ail but the Judge being in the joke; and down they all jumped, opened lheir trunks one after another, and shook their separate articles of clothing to show there was nothing in them. Presently it was the Judge’s turn. — “ Oh, to be sure!” said he, producing his keys. But the search among his properties was scarce begun, when, to iiis tremendous amazement, out of a handkerchief dropped the landlord’s spoons! Every one looked at the Judge. After a moment’s reflection, he broke out with—“ Well, now, boys, you see it’s all owing to that miserable Scotch whiskey I drank last night. 1 know it’s that which made my steal these spoons.” They never enlightened the Judge, and he always firmly believed there was nothing like Scotch whiskey for weakening a man’s sense of right — especially touching the appropriation of his neighbour s property. In fact, it was said, whenever a prisoner, charged with stealing was brought before him, he would gravely ask if he hadn’t been drinking Scotch whiskey lately, “for if you have,” he would add, “you’d bet ter leave it off, 1 tell you: I stole spoons once!” — Knickerbocker. A Sly Dash at the ‘Critter.’ — One of our subscribers, says the Rhode Island Republican, who happened to be in Newport last summer, got down in a liar room at a very early hour, when there was nobody but a boy in attend ance, when lo! who should come but a tall, well-dressed Quaker gentleman, who had been, attracted thither by the yearly conference. The Friend looked about for a moment, and turning to the boy, inquired —“ Boy, dost thee ever make any lemonade?” “Certainly, sir—a great deal every day.” “ Well, make me a glass. Take that largest sized tumbler.” Boy mixes ingredients, and pours in water about half full. “Stop—leave a vacancy. Has thee any old French brandy ?” “ Yes, sir.” “ Well, pour till I tell thee to stop.” The boy acted accordingly. “Stop?” exclaimed the Quaker in due time; “has thee any good Jamaica rum ?” “No, sir.” “ Any Santa Cruz?” “ Yes.” “ Well, pour till I tell thee to stop.” It was done, and the boy mixed the contents of the tumbler, which was brimful, in the usual mode, our Quaker friend raises it to his lips, and peured down, in one continuous stream, the whole ‘arrangement,’without the in terruption of breath. Then, with a look of satisfaction to the inner man, which, on such occasions, is seen but not de scribed, he sat down his glass, and in quired what was to pay. lie paid and turned to go away, but stopped as if he forgot something just as he reached the door, and casting an eye to the fountain of refreshments where he had received the exhilerating beverage,heexclaimcd: “ Lad, thee is a very small boy, but thee makes agr-gr-great lemonade !” GEORGE SELWYN’S BOX-MOTS. On another occasion, in 1750, ob serving Mr. Ponsonby, the Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, tossing about bank-bills at a hazard-table at New Market, said —“Look how easily the Speaker passes the money-bills.” The beautiful Lady Coventry was exhibiting to him a splendid new dress, covered with large silver spangles the size of a shilling, and inquired of him whether he admired her taste. “V\ hy, ’ said he, “ you will be change for a guinea .” One night at White’s, observing the Postmaster General, Sir Everard Faw k ener, losing a large sum of money at piquet, pointing to the successful play er, he remarked—“ See how lie’s rob bing the mail!” A namesake of Charles Fox having been hung at Tyburn, Fox inquired of Selwvn whether he had attended the •J execution. “ No, I make a point of never frequenting rehearsals .” A Committee Man.' —The following “talk ” is said to have taken place in the vicinity of the rail road the other day: “Well, Zeb, what biziness is you I) rosecut in now -a-day s?” “ 00, nuftin much,” said Jim, “eeptin’ dat 1 ’casionally acts as ’mittee man down to de rale rode.” “Oh hush! you don’t say so. When did ’rive at such extinguishment?” “ Why, I’se been follerin it less or more all dis season —’specially since de rale rode went into corporation. “Well, Zeb, what composition do you get for your services?” “ Oh, nuffln to mention,’ception dat I ’casionally hab de disagreeable honor ob ’sistin to put away de locomotur into de ’stablishment which you know’ may sometine or anuder exalt me to de extinguished kerpacity ofingineer!” Them Types? —A contempory, in a neighbouring State, hails the return of its congressional representative, (who is somewhat convivial in his habits) in the following rather equivocal fashion : “Our distinguished representative reached here on Tuesday last, in fine health and spirits, after the hard fought bottles, in which h has lately engaged!” [ Tuscaloosa Monitor. Ulmllimu. A CURIOUS SECtT The London Athenaeum gives an ac count. of the Ashley Down Orphan House in Somersetshire, England. It is the work of a new religious sect, known by the.inconvenient and unde finaßle name of Craik and Alullerites, whose prime article of belief is—the power of prayer. Whatever they re quire, these people simply demand it of God, and, as they allege, it is bestow ed on them. The text, “ Ask and it shall be given unto you,” they adopt in its literal sense, and with a result which is marvellous, if a tithe of what they assert can be accepted in their own literal spirit. The sect of the waiters on Providence is likely to spread if they .can establish their premises. Not to mention other matters, some time ago, Herr Aluller and his followers took it upon their consciences to build a magnificent Orphan House. Their design was beneficent, the institution was greatly needed in the district; but instead of adopting the ordinary ma chinery of charity by appeals to the rich and benevolent, they simply fell on their knees and appealed to Ileaven. The responses came in from every quarter of England, from many cities on the Continent, and America, arid in every variety of form. From one contributor came a penny,from another a boot-jack, from a third an ancient coin. The fanner forwarded a cart of manure, the merchant a hogshead of sugar, the land owner the product of the sale of a tree cut down for the pur pose. Women sent in their golden trinkets, men their clothes. Tallies, chairs, sacks of flour, flitches of bacon, sides of beef, beds, tooth-picks, coats, hats, shoes, wash-hand stands, arid so forth, came pouring in. The money contributions were half-pence, shillings, pounds; the latter in hundreds and in thousands. All t esc tilings came, it is said, as the levies of faith. What is certain is, the building is there, on Ash ley Down. In arrangement, propor tion, completeness of design and detail, it is one of the noblest fabrics of the country. It is already occupied by three hundred children, and the same means by which it was erected in the first instance, and is now maintained, is about to be employed for its further enlargement. No one is personally applied to for a farthing; the whole is left to the secret influence of the spirit. Yet, according to Hurr Muller’s state ment, strangers, whom he has never seen, to whom he has not made known his case, have given him for his or jihane not less than £33,80S 11s l£d, in answer to his secret prayer. These are strange facts to record among the materials for the history of the times. Mormonites and Alullerites, in the midst of railways, penny post age and half-penny steamboats! Point ing to the noble edifice, the founder says; “It grew by prayer —story after story, wing after wing, added them selves in answer to prayer offered on bended knees.” SCRAPS FOR THE CURIOUS. If a tallow-candle be placed in a gun, and shot at a door, it will go through without sustaining any injury; and if a musket-ball be fired into water, it will not only rebound, but be flattened as if fired against a solid substance. A musket may be fired through a pane of glass, making the hole the size of the ball without cracking the glass ; if the glass be suspended by a thread it will make no difference,and the thread will not even vibrate. In the Arctic regions, where the ther mometer is below zero, persons can converse more than a mile distant.— Dr. Jamieson asserts that he heard eve ry word of a sermon at the distance of two miles. The grave-digger in St. Peter’s churchyard, at Carmarthen, recently dug up the spinal column of a human body, all the bones of which had been strung together by a fibre of the root of a horse-ehesnut running through the cavity formed by the decay of the spi nal marrow. Mr. R. Welch, of Totness, who is to tally blind, cultivates and rears with his own hands the varieties of flowers in their seasons, distinguishes the most beautiful from the inferior, and points out their qualities to astonished behold ers. His pinks, tulips, Ac., are the ad miration of connoisseurs. A FEMALE AERONAUT. Mrs. Giaham, with three of her daughters and her son, ascended from Bays water, in England, a short time since in anew balloon, called \ ictoria and Albert. The party depended safe ly in Richmond Park. Mrs. Graham has written as follows to one of the papers: “1 cannot omit noticing the extraordinary admiration of my daugh ter Alice, who accompanied me on Fri day night from Vaxhal I Gardens, at the astonishing view of London at mid night, being the first time and only at tempt made by females to conduct the management of a balloon at night; and so much pleaded am I with the nerve exhibited by those of my daugh ters who have hitherto accompanied me, (four in number,) that if, on trial, I find the others of equal spirit, which 1 doubt not, l feel disposed, (God wil ling) to ascend with my seven daugh ters at the great national exhibition of 1851.” [Thus those who have the good for tune to attend the Great Fair, will have the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Graham and her seven daughters mount their aerial car. Popping tiie Question in Panama. They have some curious customs in Panama, as doubtless is the case every where. An old man, belonging to New York, who was politically decap itated as a custom house officer, for his barn-burning sentiments, was puz zled one day while tarrying there, on his way to California, at the receipt of a tolerably pretty note from a yel low girl, which ran very much as fol lows : “ Senor—l cannot marry you, as my father is in debt to the amount of S3OO. Whoever I marry must pay that debt. M; rguerite.” This mys terious letter led to the discovery that the daughters were often sold in the manner stated, and also that the pre sent of little flower peculiar to the tro pics, was a bona fide offer of marriage —a mistake in which the ex-inspector was unwittingly caught, in an attempt to display his American gallantry.

CAUTlON.— Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil i.ott’s style op Label, his 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 i.ott’s Pens have a far. simile ot his signature on the reverse side. None other are genuine. This caution espe cially refers to his original No. 303, the great popularity ot 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 Number” 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 yours has enabled Mr. Gillottto ring his Stt*’ Pna to the (ittlsT state or rtUFEr tion, and tiie liberal oatronage which he has long enjoyed at thp hands of theAmerican public,will incite him to con tinued exertion to maintain the favor which ke has a. qnir<fo HENRY OWEN Agent.
