The following thrilling sketch is from an En glish Magazine : ; "-Father will have done the great chimney ■ to-"igii!, won't h a mother V said little Tommy < Howard, as he stood waiting lor his father's I breakfast which he carried to him at his work : every morning. ; "He said that he hoped (hat a!! the seiSM ! ding would he down to-'nvghl," answered the mother, "and lhat'ii he a fine sight ; for I nev er liked the ending of those great chimneys; it ! is so risky for father to be last up." "Oh, then, but, I'll go and see him; and help I him to give a shout before he comes down," j said Tom. "And then," continued the mother,* 'of au goes on tight, we ate to i.ave a frolic to-mor row, and go into the country, and tak-* our ■ dinners, and spend all the day long in the ! woods." "Hurrah 1" cri d Torn, as he ran off to ios fat Iter's place of woik, with a can of milk in one hand and some bread >n the other. His mother stood at tne door watching him as he : weut it etrilv whistling down t-.e stier-t, and ; thought of the dear father he was n tng to, and i the dangerous work he was engaged in : and i then he sought its sure refuge, and she prayed I to God to jirot-rt and bless h r treasures. Tom with a light neart pursued his way ■;>, i his i,. liter, and leaving him at his breakfast, went to his own work, which was al .some distance. ! In the evening on his way home, he went round , lo see how his folk -r was getting on. Jatnes Howard, tie father and a mrt b T of ; other workmen, had he t n building one ot those . lofty chimneys, which in our manufacturing I towns almost supply the place of other ar | chilectural beauty. The chimney was otiV of j the highest and most tapering liiat had ever i been erected, and as l'otn shaded his eyes from I the slanting ravs of the setting sun, looked un iin search of his father, ki> lu-art almost sunk' j within htin at the appalling sight. The scai j fold was almost down, the men at the bottom were removing the bean s and p-olrs. Tom's • father stood ai o#t at the lop. j He then looked around to see lhat everything | was right, and then waving Ins hat in the air, j Ihe men below answering him u ith a long, loud : cheer, little Tom shoutmg as.loud as any of j them. As tiieif voices died away, however, j they heard a uiiferent sound, a cry of alarm; and iiorror from above. The men looived a round and coiled upon thegrouud, lay the rope, which before the scaffolding was removed,; ! should have fastened fo the ctvitnney, tor I Tom's father i > come down by !

In this sudden ! panic he lost his presence of mind, and Ins i senses failed !itm. lie shut ins ev>->- ; ti- tell as it the next moment lie OiUal be das. ted to pit-cos on the ground below. J tie dav passed its industrious : y as usual wilh Tom's ti.other at liorne. Sue was busily employed for her hu.diawl and chiUlren in some way or :, ar.d to-day, she fad been harder at woik than usual, gelting ieady tor the holi uay to-morrow, bite t.ad just finished tier arrangement.;, and her thoughts were silently ti atifcm r G d jor the happy heme, ami lor all these blessings ol Lie, when i out ran in. His lace was as w title as ashes, and tie cou.d har.tiy get his words out . "Alotiier I mother ! hecttioot g'-t down." -iYi.o ;id ? I i v (atiter asked the mother. *• i uey have forgotten to leave Hie r. j e," answered Tom scarcely able to ;.euk. J'tie mother started up, horror struck, and stood lor a moment as i; paralyzed, then pressing liei hands over her face, r.s it to shut out the tern •ie [ iclure, and breathing a prayer to God tor tu-iji, sue rushed out ol the home. When she reach- d that place where iter hus >and wis at work, a crowd gathered around the foot ol the chimney, stood quite helpless, gazing up hill of sorrow. "He says he'll throw himself down.*' '•lie u.unna, do that, lad," ctieil the wife with a clear hopeful voic<-: "murina, do that wait a tut. Take oil thy stocking, lad, and unravel it and let down the tin pad with a bit of mot tar. D-ist thou hear me, Jim I" The man made a sign of assent ; fur it seemed as it he couid not speak—and taking off his stocking, unravelled the worsts yarn, row aft-r row. the people stood around in breathless si ience and suspense, wondering what Tones mo ther coul-i he thinking of; and why she sent mm in sucti haste lor the carpenter s bail ol twine. "Let down on- end ol the thread with a bit of stone, and keep, last hold of the other," cried she to her hu.-hand. ihe little thread came waving down the tail chimnev blown hither and thither by the wind, but it reached the outstretched hards that were waiting it. Tom held the ball of twinp, while his mother tied one end ot it to the worsted thread. "Now pull it slowly," ciiedshe to her hus band, and she gradually unwound the string until it reached her husband. "Now hold the j string fast, am] pull it up," cried she, and the ; string grew heavy and hatd to pull, lor Tom j and his mother had fastened a thick rope to it. ' They watched it gradually and {slowly uncoil ing Irom the ground, as the string was drawn higtier. There was but one coil left. It had reachpd the top. "Thank God !" exclaimed the wife. She hid her face in her hands in silent prayer, and trembling rejoiced. The iron to which it ; should be fastened was there all right—but Freedom of Tkcug'lit and Gpinica. i would hei husband be able to make use of it ? Would not the terror ol the past hour have so unnerved him as to prevent him from taking the necessary measures lor safety ? She did not know the magical influence which her few words had exercised over him. Site did not know the strength that the sound ot Iter voice, so calm and steadfast had given him—as if the liftlft thread that carried him the hope ol fife oace more, had conveyed to him some portion ufthat faith in God which nothing ever de slroye lor shook in her pure lieait. She did no? know lhat as she waited there, the words cau-e over him, "Why art thou cast down, O y soul, why art thou disquieted within me? g. sMhou in God." She.lifted her heart to God, ;if hope and strength, but could do nothing •r.ore | r her husband, ami her heart tur ned to G d and rested on him as on a rock. There was a great shout. "He's safe, mother : he's safe !" cried Tom. "Tiiou hast saved my Ice, my Miry," {.aid her husband, folding her ia his ar.T.s. " Rut what ails thee?" (hot) seemest more; sorry than glad about it. Hut Alary could not speak, md if the strong arm ot her husband had j not held tier ur> she would have lailen to ihe ' ground—the sudden joy after such great f-ar j had overcome her. "Tom, let thy mother Han ! o i thy shoulder," said his father, and we will ! ■ sice her home." And in their happy home; they poured forth thanks to God for Ins great ; goodness, and their happy Hie together fell i dearer and holier for the peril it had been in, j ami the nearness ol the danger had brought t&cm onto God. And the holiday next day— ••. is it not indeed a thanksgiving day ? THE PRIMER A.YD UiS TYPES. In our July number, we inserted a beautilul , extract from the pen oi Bayard Taylor, the printer traveler, which pleased us so much, •ti.d lias been copied so extensively, .that we j tin# month insert another by the same author : which will at once commend itself to the craft, ever- where : Perhaps there is no department of enterprise wb s-* details are Ess understood by 'iiit-lligent •ipojile than the art preservative'—the achieve- j llirut of typi'S. Every day, their life long, they are acustom- j ed to read Hie newspapers, to find fault with j KsYoap-ineats, its a; larigenient, its looks; to j piiiine themselves upon the discovery of some rogui#!i and acrobatic type that gets into aj fiolic and stands upon its head ;or oi some with a waste letter or two in it—but ot the j process by which the newspaper is made,of the j myriads ul motions and thousands of pieces j necessary to its composition, lli<y know iiuie j , -#-4 Uui^Jrzis. They imagine they discourse o! a wonder, indeed, when they speak of the fair white car- | pet woven for thought to walk on of tire rags j that fluttered upon the backs of the beggar i yesterday. But there is something more wonderful stiff. * When we look at the hundred and fifty-two I I iiitle boxes, somew hat shaded with the touch ; -ol inky fingers, that .composes the p:inter's j -ci>. -,' noiseless, except tiie clicking ol the t v pes, as one by one they take their place in . w ing line—we think we have found the marvel the art. We think how many fancies in fragment# there ate it; the boxes, iiow tr.atiy atoms ol pi-tiy and eloquence the printer can make ! here and there if lie only has a little chart to! work bv, how many facts ia small haudfuiis, Low much truth an 1 chaos. N w !;■• pick up til-' scattered elements un t t he holds in his hands a ktat.za ct Gray's Elegy or a monodv upon Grimes all buttoned no Let .re.'

A |->"r jest ticks its way slowly into the I printer'.# and lii.e a clock just running down, : and a strain of el vqtier.ee marches into line let ter hv letter. We luiicv we can tell t.ie diiier ence by hearing ol the ear, but pet haps not. The tvpes that told a wedding yesterday, announce a burial to-morrow —perhaps in the ; sell same Iviters. Thev are elements to make a world of— those type# ate, a world with something in it as beautiful a# spring, as rich as summer, ami as ;rarnl as au'utnn flowers that trust cannot wilt, fruit that shall ripen for ail time. The newspaper has become toe log book of ' the age ; it teiis at what rate the world is* run ning ; we cannot tiuu our 'reckoning' w llhoul it. Tiue, the green grocer may bundle up a pound ot candies in our ia#t expressed thoughts, but it is only coming to the base uses, as its letters have don-- tinn-s inurnerabl- . U e consde ourselves by thinking taat one can make of that newspaper what he cannot make* of living oaks—a bridge lor time,that he can liiog i". over "the chasm ot the dead years and walk sab iv back upon the shadowy sea i;.to the far Past. The singer shall not end his song, nor the true soul be eloquent more. The realm ol the Press is enchanted ground. Sometimes Hie editor has the happiness of knowing that be has defended the right, expo sed the wrong, protected the weak ; that he lias given utterance to a sentiment that is not !o.#t —a sentiment thai has cheered somebody's soliiary hour, made somebody happier, kindled - a smile upon a sad face, or hope on a heavy heart. He may meet with that sentiment many years after it may have lost all tiaces ot its paternity, but he feel# an affection for it. He welcomes it as a long absent child. lie reads it as tor the first time, and wonders if, indeed, be wrote it, for he has changed since then. Perhaps lie , could not give utterance to the sentiment now; perhaps he would not if he couid. It seems like the voice of his former self calling to its parent, an 1 there is something rr.ourrilu! in its tone. He begins to think—to remember why lie wrote it—where were hi# readers then, and whither they have gene— what he was then, and tnw much he ha# changed. So he muses, until he finds himself wondering if that thought of his w ill continue to float alter he is ti-ad, and whether he is really looking upon something that will sur vive him. And then comes the sweet con sciousness that there is nothing in the sentence that he could wish unwritten—a shred from a girineiit of immortality he shall l-ave behind him when lie j- ins the "innumerable caravan," and takes his place in tit- silent halls of death. printer*' .Yews L- Her. FACTS'ABOUT 'THE BOD Y- There are about 200 bones in the human body, exclusive of the teeth. The bones ait* ] composed of animal at. d cart ly materials, t.ie ; fhrrrier predominating in youth and the latter ;in old age, rendering the bones brittle. Ibe i j m #t important of these bones is the spine, j J which ts composed of twenty-lour small bones, | ' Cui.ed the ver'ebtae, one on top ot the other, i curiously hooked together and fastened by elas | tic ligaments, forming a pillar by which tit?; • human 1 ody is supported. The hones are moved by the muscles,of which ; • there are more than 503. fine red meat or : beef, the fat b- ing excluded, is Hie muscular j ! fabric ot toe ox. There are two sets ol mus cles, one to draw the bones one way. and ano ther to draw theui back again. Vie cannot i better describe the musi Irs than by comparing ; them to fine elastic thread bound up in cast-sol ; skin. Many muscles terminate in tendons . which are stout cords, such as may be seen tra versing the back of the hand, just without the ski.i, and which can be observed 'o more when t.'ie ii and is opened or shut. Every motion we make, even the inv duntary ou-.' oi breathing, is perf,Tined thro igh the agency of muscles. In ad-aits there art' about fifteen quarts et . blood, each weighing about two pounds. This blood is of tvv > kin-Is, arterial and vtnous. The t bi#t i# the pure b!-'oJ, a# tl leaves the heat to j nourish the fiame, and i 3 of a bright vermil ilt >ll coloi. The M-t is the blood as it runs to j the heart loaded with I lie impurities ol the body ; ;to tie there r-gned, an !isof a put pie hue.— j j Every pulsation ol the heart sends out two oun- I ces of arterial blood, and as there are Irom 70 ' to SO beats in a minute, a hogshead ol blood i passes tit rough the heart every hour. In fever j the pulsation, are accelerated, :<nd consequently - death ensues if tne fever is not checked. | The stomach is a boiler, if we may use sucli i a figure, which drives the human engine. Two ! sets cf muscles, crossing each other, turn the food over aod over churning it up in a gastric juice till it has been reduced to the consistency !of thin paste. This process requires Irotu two j t > four hours. j Emerging from the stomach the food enters i I Ihe small intestines, where it is mixed with the ; : bile and pancreatic juice and conveited into j I chvle. These small intestines are twenty-four | : (eel long closely picked, of course, and sur- I rounded through their vviiol*- length wiih smali | tubes which are like sockets and drawing oil | the chyle, empty into a large tube caiied the j thoracic duct, which runs up the back and di- ' charges the contents into the jugular vein, | whence it passes to the heart to assist in forming j ; the arterial blood. | The lungs are two hags connected with the open air bv the windpipe which branches into innumerable small tubes,all over the inside ol the lungs, each terminating in a minute air cell The outer surface of these atr ceils is luil ot . small capillaries, infinitely s nail veins, a thin j | membrane only dividing the air front the; b!o. L * The impur- rorti n of the blood is carbonic acid, which, i.jving a strongtr aliinify fr air than Mr blood, passes through this membrane j to a gaseous state, combines with the air in the i air ceils, ami is expelled with the next rtspira ; tic.n. Meantime the oxygen of the air unites with the h'oo.i and becomes purified ; then pas | sing into the heart being mixed with chyie, it j | is lorced through tiie body as life-giving and I arterial blood. The skin selves an important purpose in car i rving off impuri';e# ot tiie system. It is tra j versed with capihaties of the tody. It is aso j peiforat'd with countless perspiration tubes, the ! united length of which amounts to tweniy-t tgiil I i miles, and which drains awav from three to j i four pounds of waste matter every twenty-four t . hour-, or five-eighths of all the body disciiar- ' ges. The nerves are another curious feature of the j ! anirra! eciriomy. They ait? Inns ever hut little j unrii rstooi). They act as feelers to tell the 1 I wants of the bodv, and aUo as conductors to j ! will ttie muscle? to act. They branch out from i the brain and spine over the whole frame in : j infinitely fine fibres like blanches or twigs to j j trees. THE Onto INTEREST LAW REPEALED. —The '■ bill to repeal the lt-n per cent, interest law lias j ! passed both branches of the Ohio Legislature.— ; • It leaves the rale of six per cent., collectable t at law. Parties can pay or receive any rate j oi'interest on which they can agree : hut they ! must tiust to honor and not to the law f>r pay, when it is over six percent. This is the rate presumed when none is mentioned in a note or contractor on hook accounts. The-V<i iionul says that both the chair and desk occupied by John Quincv 1 Adams, while he was member of the House, are in the possession of Mrs. John Qnincy Ailains, of Washington city, his daughter-in-law. THE sister of Judge Chase was returning home from church, and in the act of entering the house of the Governor, when she was stricken down.

Madame Bodichon who has recently pub | lis! led a tract on "Women and Work," exprer , ses her opinion that the life of most w®et is a , practical denial of their duties to God. While 1 on a visit to this country, she was struck by the i utter idleness of the "lady class" in society.— There is,she says, "in America a large classof | ladies who do absolutely nothing, in every large town in the United States there are large hotels or boarding houses, containing several hundred inhabitants each. This hotel popula tion mainly consuls of families who live alto gether in hotels ; and the ladies, having no housekeeping whatever to do—have lew ol the usual duties of women in Europe, and are more thoroughly given unto idleness and vanity than any women, I believe, in the world. These ladies have not the cultivation which glosses over the lives of so many women in Europe, and gives them some solid value in society as upholders cl the arts and literature ; but are generally full ol the strangest affecta tions and pretensions. The young ladbs, espe cially, remind me of-certain women I have seen in seraglios, whose whole time was taken up ;a dressi: g, and painting their faces with tins difference —ti.e ladies of the East spend tiieir days ir. adorning themselves to please one lord and master —the ladies of the West, to phase ail the lords of creation. Which is the noblest ambition ? She also notices the fact that there is in this country as strong a public opinion against wo men working for a livelihood as i i England.— We never hear ofa father in independent cir cumstances giving his daughter a professional education. "If lie can live in some style, he counts on his daughter marrying ; and if he can no!, lie probably sends them to some relative in i city, who receives them lor a long visit in the ol hope "getting them otf." Many thousands of oung gn K come to the cities to stay with bro thers, uncles or friends, for this purpose. A worse prej arati >n tor ar.y serious lite cannct be conceived. Years of idleness are often pas sed in this way : years spent in nothing but dres sing and dissipation : and what does it lead to? Marriage probably : but what sort of marriages can be formed by young girls looking at If*- world from such a false position ? With such a beginning to life, it i 3 almost impossible the girl can ever become a noble human being." "In America—in that noble, free, new country —it is grevious to see the old, lalse. snobbish ideas ol "respectability" eating at the heart of society—iTiaki'ig generations ol women idicand corrupt, and retarding the onward progress ot the Gi-al Republic." A HIP py HOME. The firs! year of married Nfe is a most impor tant era in the history of husband and wile. Generally, as it is spent, so almost all subse quent existence. The wife and husband then assimilate their views arid their desirs, or else conjure up their dislikes, and so add fuel to their prejudices and animosities forever after ward . '•1 have heard somewhere," says the Rev. Dr. Wise, in his "Bridal Greetings," "of a bridegroom who gloried in his eccentricities. He requested his bride to accompany him into thegaiden a day or two after toe wedding.— He then threw a line over the roof of their ■co!tag'. Giving his wife one end oi"it, he re treated to the other side and exclaimed : "Pull the line ! ' "f cant," she n plied. "Pull with ai! your might 1" shouted the whimsical husband. Rutin vam v. ere ail the efforts cf the biide to pull over the iine, so long as tile husband held on the opposite end. But when he came round, and both pulled atone end, it came over with great ease. "There," said he, as the iine fell from the roof, -you s e how hard ami ineffectual was our iioor when we pulled in opposition to each other ; but how easy and pleasant it is when we both pull together. It will be so, my dear, through lile. I! we act together, it will be pleasant to live. Let us, therefore, always pull together." In this illustration, homely as it nay be, there is sound philosophy. Husband and wife must naturally bear and concede, if they wish to make home a retreat of joy arid bliss. One alone can not make home happy. There must be union of action, sweetness of spirit, and creat forbearaiue and love in both husband and wife, to secure the gieat end ol happiness in the domestic circle. A SISTF.:: IN A TIGHT PLACE. —At N ~ one Saturday evening fatigued by his journey, a wagoner, with his son John drove his team into go . range, at.d determined to pass the Sab! alls njoying a season of worship with the good fo! .s of the village. When the time for worship arrived, John was set t>- watch the ham, while the wagoner went in nth the crowd. The preacher had hardly announced his subject before the old man mil sound asleep. He sat against tly paititi in the centre ol the body slip; just against Him, separated oa.y by the very low part it i n, sat a fleshy tody who seemed ail absorbed mine sermon. S;;*> tjuggied hard with her feelings, until..uaable to control tl.em 1 longer, she burst out with a 1 >ud scream, and | shouted at the top of h-r voice, rousing th* old man who, but half a wake, thrust his arm around 1- r waist and cried, verv soothingly : "Wo, Nance i Wo, Nance! Wo here, John" i calling toss n—"cut the belly-band, and I loose the breeching, quick, or she'll tear every j thing all to pieces I" Ii was all the work of a moment ; but the sis i ter i got to shout, the preacher lost the thread lof !,is discourse, and the meeting came pre maturely to an end-; while, deeply mortified, j the poor old man skulked away, determined ! not to go to meeting until he could man- I age to keep bis senses by remaining awake.
