IIeLDEN's 111.tcAzixE, (Feb.) caterp ~iuceet=sfully to The _poi - minx Inateocith_con_M. Lotions from several favorite writers. The following clever sketch is from an article by A Buckeye." In n previous nunober . T sketched a pen and portrait of Senator Corwin, and in' this •opose to do the same for three- lawyers of the stone State, who have acted a prominent. part, not only in that profession, but in the political increments of one groat party: That splendiAtate has witnessed the fiercest polit ical struggles, and the greatest vacillations of parties. It-is a very interesting question, as to tliO agents in these Movements. There is 'not a man in - the - State who has yet been in rested with the imrple by any, party. Ohio hastio Kinderhook or Albany -Regeney i , to eay 'do,' and it must be done. No party has had its 'little Magician' to rub an Alladin's lam whenever he wanted to crush some obnoxious measure; or to carry out somoTaverite scheme. The nearest to it has been the "Colonel of the Statesman" at. Columbus. The kitchen cabi- nets of all parties are above ground and the only magicians are their " atumpers," and the only Aladdin's lamp are the feelings of tl.• cople. Politics at the West and South are never un derstood if this prime clement is not account ed. Were Ewing awl Corwin without this a bilyr-to-mslvocate their own claims, the ono would haV6 boiled to this day, and the other have been driving horses as Tom the wagon boy" in fact. I knew one Man who lost the entire force of a political mass -meeting at MacConnelsville. The two candidates for Congress agreed to discuss their claims pub licly, and the Democratic candidate not being a ready stomper, employed that most eloquent speaker, John,Breugh, to aid him. When Mr. B. began his speech his antagonist stopped hint to put a question to the eandidato whose claims ho was to sustain. Pointing to Mr. Brough, who is ivNery fat portly man, he in quired "If elected, do you expect to take that huge salt sack of fat and other things, to Wash ingldn to make your speeches for you!" The question produced sue!' a tremendous uproar of laughter, thataftcr several ineffectual at- tempts to gain the ear of the people, Mr. B. thOugh unquestionably ono of the best speak= ore in the State, was obliged to desist. Premising thus much; let me gird a conden 'sod sketch of three •remarkable men. The first is Thomas Ewing, sulfated by Gen. Tayl or, as ono of his Cabinet. Thomas Ewing, physically and intellectually, s a noted man aiinnig men. ha his early.man- howl, the •enth:o Western country could not Stullish e [,fore nthlctill gig nt. --Straight as an arrow, he measures the comfortable stature of Six feet and someinches, whilti his broad shoul ders and deep chest sufficiently indicate his strength. ° ISmru a young man ho was the keenest of marksmen, with unerring certainty. picking the,squirrels from . the top of the loft iest tree, and that with. a • ratio, ' , carrying (1. hundred and twenty-to the pound." If per chance night overtook kim,l4 the forma; he cenbl cook his own supper and then, sleep by a log. In those days' no surer passport existed to the favor. of the backwoodsmen than supe rior physical prowess, and this li:wing had to perfection:,-Ile could wrestle like an athlete, and if that were not enough,' lie could leap further on a lever then the .me'st.

Ile is now sonierehat 'fleshy,' as the saying is, and presents a spectacle no a little iinposing to common people, who al ways d'el'ight in seeing- a large well-proper- tion man. His complexion is ruddy, and sets off his bright laughing eyes, to the very best advantage. And yet his appearance is plain and the simplicity of his toilette and demean. or captivating. I shall never, forget the impre'ssion made on my mind the first•time I sn* him, in, 1836, at a mass meeting held in Columbus. Other speakers had held the multitude in charmed adMiration, but when Mr. Ewing arose, that admiration became enthusiasm. Just think of that magnificent stature towering among fif teen or tiventy, .thousand men, and hip/eye beaming so geniallY 6ys! 4'here was nothing striking in his voice, except it was ea-, sily heard by every one in the crowd, and yet it sounded like an honesi , voice. He spoke nat uanlly, so much so, that'evory one felt that to be just the way he would speak himself.—' There was no effort at fine speaking, and one thought of the bad of Avon when with such exquisite appropriateness he made Mark An- tony say— I'am no orator as Brutus is; But as you know me all a plain blunt man, That loves my friends * For I have neitberwitomtwords,_nor worth, .:I.ction, nor utterance, nor tie power of speech, To stir men's Wooed: / only speak nyht.on ; I tdt yoilztliat which you yours:lees do loon•. ttiiiiX , tbese Arc the words ihe •• only spoko right on," telling the gravest and weightiest truths so tuiostentatiously that the. veriest clown thought bins merely telling' his own thoughts: As he warmed. up in his discourse, his ponderous right hand would emphasize 'some important thought, in such a way that a unanimous vote of -the assembly would have. pronoun Ced it •the very perfection. of dumb rhetoric. There was not_a_singlecontortiomof_ the body. It stood like an oak. There was not en uncouth raisshaping of the fate. It 'looked placid, yet Curliest to), the sun. There was no agimizing glance of the eye to heaven as if to draw fire thence to Consume his antag eye glanced mcaningly, and ear n. nestly, and truthfully around on-the "sea of upturned faces" before him. As for gesticti lation, he had not even a stamp of the feet to give power to some grand and no sprawling: of the bands as though his digits ex tended were the only condition on which ls rael could prevail. Ilis gesture :was that oi , 'his right hand,ond that as natural as thcblovr of it blacksmith's arm us he strikes the iron on `the solid anvil- .As a speaker- luSteeinc& the very perfection - - • But while hi,' exhibited thesc * traits, it did nat rpierich that - certain'• enthusiasm without which a 'speaker cannot gain.marked attention anywhere, much less at 'the West. His oak pontlercus_geaticulation, his Manly, but notperstrained voice, with his en- Aire demeanor ten <the stump,' carried to-every one the belief that this man was moved deeply by what lie uttered. And it was nholtlOsight, to witness how perfectly he breathed his own spirit into the mess before him, TM moved it as with 'restless power. Simple in speech and action as he was, the multitudes ever and a non broke out in loud commendation, Ins laughing eye proved his love 9f a good olte, and he gave them a fine, practical illus- tration in that speech. IC was just after his . celebrated Post Office Report in which he had exposed without mercy, the corruptions which had crept into that department. ono large mail contractor was specially grieved -by the report and threatened Mhorse-whip Mr. Ew ing at the first opportunity. The pugnacious contractor, it seems, was a man of the Tom Thunib species, and as Mr. Ewing related the threat and spread out his. own brawny propor- tie& to our gaze, it was impossible not_to laugh almost to split our.sities. "Just to think of Ida whipping me!" exclaimed the laughing grant, drawn up to his greatest dimensions.— You may well think it was irresistible. I once saw Mr. Ewing's power to hold the people fully tested. No man in Ohio has such popularity as a stump speaker as Thomas Cor win. On the oceaslou referred to, Corwin and Ewing were on their way front.: : a mass meet ing held at Lancaster, I . (ameating estimated by the acre instead of the thousand,) to anoth er to bre held at Delnwarm 'A In ge concourse of people..uit them at Colunihns;Mol inslsetid on their speaking.

As an element of soils it is . far less abundant than .quartz or feldspar. As a chemical agent it has more power than, either.' Neutralizing acids is one of the most important agencies of all alkalies. Limo performs that agency both 'in agriculture and domestic economy. Take a' case in tho former. Every farmer is familiar with two lands of ,sorrel_growing on plaed groucul.-, The most abundant is' called sheep-sorrel, and frequently sour-dock. .Botanists call it, rumex ascetocellii. It frequently covers plowed fields with a thick-coat, containing a large amount of 'acid. 'y quick-limo this acid is neutral ized and changed into a salt, probably favora ble to vegetation, whilethe acid is unfavora ble.- A case in domestic economy--common ashee;are . the carbonate of potash, as is ley obtained from them. In making soap, the pu rer the potash the better, . especially as it a voids th necessity- of putting red hotliorse shoes Lito the soap -to drive out witches, or e ven IV tin till a full or new moon for making i soap. By mixing limo with the ashes it ac,re moves he carbonic acid from the potash, form ing the carbonate of lime, leaving the potash a,purer . .and.streger. alkali, and,, more power ful hi assimilating the water and the oil by u-. uniting with both, which is the chemistry of soap-making. Lime is also used as an alkaline agent in many of the arts, and with great ef fect in iron furnaces and glass making—the coarsest kind of glass ; fur most kinds potash or soda is used. Whether in reducing ores to metals or quartz to glass, lime acts as a flux, causing a more ready fusion., While lime, as a flux, aids the fusion of iron ore, charcoal takes from it the oxygen to aid the,, eombus, tion. .As most iron ores are the oxydes of I. : r_on„castiromstill_retains-a-portion-of-iis-oxy-- gen, which is removed by further exposure to charcoal as a healing agent. It is thus re duced to wrought iron. By exposing wrought Iron to intense heat, while bedded in powdered Charcoal in a closed oven, thus entirely exclu ding air from it, thyphorcoal or carbon is ab sorbed in' emall`Oilmatitics by. the iron, by which wrought iron is" - clianged into steel r which is carburet of irori,cor carbon and iron. Carbonate of iron is an ore of that, metal, which is * said to be changed from the carbonate to the carburet ; or from the ore 'to steel by a direct lirecOs.

DURATION OF THE EARTH, .4._,fo[RO.Krurict.-13,y_As_troirkpinay.t The evidence which geology affords of the great•nntiquity of ,the earth, turns thought to the evidence, which astronomy furnishes of its Inture_continuance. -From the-many-striking resemblances between the bodies that compose the solar system, we infer for them a common origin and' a common destiny. The earth, then, will probably,live while the system lives, and no longer. What its parffoultir destiny may be, - and by what means brought about, we stop not hero to inquire. Our only purpose now, is to consider some intimations furnished us by the system itself, that it is fashiOned for along duration. This is indicated by • theldruniense length of some of the periods involved in this system. According to the commonly received chron ology, the planet Nepture has had but 36 of his yeaM since the creation of our race. If, the analogy between the earth and that planet holds good, then the first generation of his in habitants is hardly yet .passed away. Some comets have not yet-had one .year since thd' daM of Adam's-creation. But there are periods of greater length still. The earth's perihelion is slowly creeping a round the orbit froM West to East, at a rate which will require 111,000 ybars to complete the circuit. The Perihelion of Mercury is mo o vii , %Tinnier manner, 'at a rate which will ,re ' ° oo,ooo_ years to . coraploto it. Other planets exhibit the seine movement. Now if OP the planets in the system were arranged a long.in a lino on the same side of the sun, and all their Perihelia, ,t'..er all in that' point • of' their orbits wich is nearest the 'sum, and then all their orbits sot revolving according to their present:laws of motion, millions of years must elapse.re all of them would meet again under the same circumstances to ;hold their family festival, preparatory to another revolution- of the same length. • . -. The earth's orbit is now an ellipse, but, is slowly beConting oirenlar ; and at its present rate of change, will becOme abbut a perfect circle in about half a million of . years, from , this time. Then it will begin to resume its et-: lipticai form, becoming more and more olliptiH cal for some millions of years, when having attained the maximum of ellipticity, it :gin'again to shape itself. into tt,oirele...derree-j' Pondiag *ith .this change and caueed is a ehange of the period of, the' Moon's srevo-; lutiou,.

It is supposed by somu; good astronomers that all the: stars have a similar movement; all -, revolviiir together in plane of the milky w , about some common centre; that the orbltAleseribred by our sun in • this grand march is So large, that this incon- • ceiVably rapid motion; continued for yeah, fornis practically a 'straight line; •in titer • words, the oa l it is so large that the arc of it described since this motion was first observed; „ is so short in comparison with the whole orbit 119 to seem to bo no arc at all. At least, no in- ' struments are, as yet, accurate enough to de- . - tect.and measure its rate of deviation from a straight lino. Ilerschell intimates that the • elements of the orbit may perhaps be detormi-- ned after 30 or 40 years' observation with .tho nicest instruments.; Of course, many millions . of, years .must pass, cro this- vast circuit can be fully described by the sun. We grant there is some little conjecture at tached to this last illustration ;which belongs not only to any of the previous ones, end yet it is so, much in keeping with those demonstra ted facts, that it can hardly be called improba ble. • Although these periods are' inconceivably long, still they are none the less periods.— They are apotruly periods, 4s if they were completed in one day or ono hour. The feat -that our life is Short in comparisoii,Thid i that— we cannot in our best estates, have any ade quote conception of them, is no - more of an ob ' jection to their existence than it is an objection to the length of Neptune's period, tinit insects die after a few hours existence, and without •any adequate conception of an . hundred end • sixty-four years' existence. • •• From the movements of the heavenly bodies through a certain part of their orbits or of their,osoillations, science determines with -the ,gzeittest exactness tha.faot that, after a certain-• point in departure is gained, the body will . fallibly—return—to—its—former—ceudition—and— place. On its faithfully returning and thus neutralizing the perturbations caused by its departure, the harnfony-and stability of the whole system depend. • Now mark the conclusion. For the Sarno good reason that we say the earth - could - not liave been inadb and set rotating merely 'to cause fifty or a hundred days, or was not set revolving round the sun to cause only one or two years, or perhaps only it small part of one year—for these good reasons do'we say that . these unmeasured, aml almost immeasurably periods wore intended by the Creator to be de- . scribed, gone 'through with, and doubtless ninny times repeated, ere the great chrononie-. 4 ter runs dewnt Our fras of the perfection of his workman- . ship are shocked by any other conclusion.— Our minds refuse to admit the idea of a period or an orbit, or nn oscillation only partially completed. In We language of Professor Mit chell, we say "The entire system forms effe - • grand, complicated piece of 'celestial machine ry; circle within circle, wheel within wheel, cycle within cycle; revolutions so swift as to ompleted-in-a-few-rhoure—trevements-seslow---- that their mighty periods are only completed by millions of years.

FACTS IN BRIEF. — Out of ei?ery thousand men, twenty of them die annually. The num ber, of inhabitants of a city or county is t'e-' nerved every thirty yeai:s. The number of 'old mon who die in the cold weather, is to the number of those who die in the warm weather, as seven to four. The men ablo to bear arms form a fourth of the inhabitants of a country.
