Jn later times, John J (out, nn nrtixt ol

this art. Two drinking glasses, curi
ously and elegantly ornamented by
this artist Willi his diamond pencil
wore purchased by Charles VI. Tho

method applicable to crystal only, was
invented, iu tho beginning of tho sevon

therefore, tho art of cutting was dis

Tho diamonds employed in gluss
cutting are of the description known
by the technical numo ol bort, a cluss
il'ication which includes all such pieces
as aro too small to bo cut, or are of, a
bad color, and consequently unfit for
ornamental purposes. In considering
tho diamond in its relations to the pur
poses of tho window gluss cuttor, thero
oocur some cii-ciiwetlitncoH worth-,! of
reinurk. Aniong these may he noticed
that the cutting point of tlio diamond
must be a nuttirul ono ; an artificial
point, however perfectly well formed,
wiii oniytontuui in glass, not en it.
The diumond of a ring, for instance,
not cut a pane, but merely mark
It . With rough siipreficinl lines, which
penetrate but a very little way inward.
Artificial points, corners or angles,
therefore, produced by culling tho dia
mond, aro adapted for writing or draw
ing fignrnsion glues,'- Tbo cutting dia l
niond does not write so w-nlinu glutei,
from tho circumstance of its being npl
to enter too deeply, and to take too
firm a hold of tlio surfuco,and thus bo-
come intractable. Further, an acci
dental point, produced by fracturing
tuo diamond, is as unlil lor cutting as
an artificial one. 1 Such n point will
irlso mmlym-Tfrtch the 'glass,' No
point, in short, flint It not given by Die
uaturul.ommlioii of tho niuieral, will
answer the purposes of tho window
glass cutter. The largo sparks, as the
diamonds used for cutting glass arc
called, aro generally preferred to the
small ones, Irom the circumstance of
tbeir being likely to possess (nit bough
this is by np menus invariably the case)
a nutnbetfrtf cutting points; while the
TCry Small Sparks, for obvious reaaonsi
are not .always louud u Joscb more
than one. Thus, if the point of tho
hitter is worn or broken off, although
the spark bo turned, and reset in its
socket, it will still bo without tlio power
of cutting, nnd, consequently! useless ;

1NOIIIKNTH or A VISIT TO MBS, POLK.
On ono of tho cosy, shady streets of
.(Nashville, tho liostuu ol tho hoiith, m
au old-Ctshioned luansioii of red brick,
with wide, doep windows, and a nitim-inoth-pillared
piazga jultiiig out like
the bold forehead of tho fill nous man
that once lived thero, is the house of
Aim. James Knox Polk, widow of the
tonth President of tho t'njtod States
ono of tho Mothers of the Kill inn. A
slender graceful old lady, with asnow
whilo ncchurcbicf and folds of curls
that lie flut on each side of her brow.
She is 76 years old, but her figuro is
us straight, her step us quick, and her
eyes its bright as tho eyes of a girl ;
nctivo in every benevolent scheme,
generous to uu extrciuo, hospitable ac
cording to the traditions of Kentucky's
how itulily. Aud, as courtly as a queen,
iu AiiHhville, a few iluyij ago, the house
was pointed out to mo, and a descrip
tion of the old lady given, with tho re
mark that she liked to reccivo si rang
ers. .So I thought J would pay my
respects to the widow: of a President,
and ul ion t noonday entered tho gate
of "tho Polk Place," and wont up tlio
long gravel wulk that leads to the
house. Tho yard is luid out in tho old
fashioned style, with flower beds in
difTcront designs, borders of box, and
shrubHof different sorts placed ut inathe
muticul in tenuis.. An old fashioned
brass knocker, like the handle of a cof
fin, burnished us bright ns a mirror,
asked entrance for me, and a bent,
rickety old negro woman answered lho
numinous.
"Is Airs. Polk nt homo?"
"Yen sub ; will you step in, nub ?
Missus Polk is at homo, sub, but was
just gwiuo out, sah, and alio' boun' to
go out dis time. Tako a chair, sub."
Shu led me into au old fashioned
parlor, with shells of all sorts on tho
mantle, and chinta curUiins with large
flowery figures hung bclbrq tho win
dows. On tho wall wero portraits of
men in wigs and military uniforms of
tho old regime, and women with high
powdered hair and ruliies, with a lew
antique prints and hull' faded land
scapes. The furniture was heavy ma
hogany, and exquisitely carved, and
tho carpet half covered with canvass,
was a relic of ancicut elegance. I was
able only to glance at things tor a mo
ment alter the servant left. Aim Polk
entered, and extending her hand cor
dially said:
"1 seo you aro a stranger, sir; hut I
am happy to sue you nevertheless.
People call every duy to seo me," said
slio, laughing, "or to see how a wo
man lives that lived in the White House
onco, and J value the attention very
highly."
I thanked her and attempted to ex-
Iilaiu and apologise for my intrusion,
nit she tapped her hand impatiently
with her parasol, and said:
"The apology is on my part, sir, for
1 must ask you to excuse me, I have
an appointment nt this hour it is quite
imperative 1 should meet, or 1 should
bo pleased to entertain you. 1 pray
you will excuse mo, and make your
self as much at home in my house and
on my grounds as if I were here. Aly
sen-ants will show yon what pcoplo
generally wish to see, Jheysre nc.
customed to sooing strangers, sir; ha,
bal quito accustomed to it, 1 assure
you." .
Jt was something 1 had road about,
Una fft-ucolul, old hishioned courtesy,
but ncvor saw before a real illustration
of the manner of the Itcpublieiin court;
and as 1 cscortod the nimble old lady
to her carriage she chatted away as
cordially as il alio waa my grundmoUi
re, and iusistaed on my railing again.
II or ridiugdrrss was of the shiny silken
materiul that one sees at old folks' con
certs ; black, and cut long waisted.with
a plain belt of corded ribbon. At her
neck was a white linen kerchief, lidded
with artist iu precisiou, nnd fastened
with a largo brooch, which contained
a picture of her husband. Her shawl
whs oi black lace, folded in. tho old
fashioned way, and on her hands wero
"milts" or whatever you cull those
silk kuitaMuira that havn't any lingers.
As the carriage drove away X turned
buck into tho yard, and went to the
tomb ol the Preadent, which stands
midway between the street and house,
nt tho left Mf lho walk. It is a plaiu
rectangular sarcophagus, about sixteen
feet in height, of smooth limestone. and
inclosing a low square monument of
the same stone. An cnort has been
mado to remove it to tho grounds of
tho Stnto House, which stands not
more than six hundred .'yards away,
but it is Mrs. Polk's wish that it remain
where it is, and she wants to bo buried
in the vault beneath, besido her hus
band. Every year tho Legislature of
Tcnncjwo calls upon Al rs. 1'ollt in a
body, have a brief prayer at tho tomb
of tho President, nnd arc entertained
for a few moments by his window, with
tho assistance of a few old-fashioned

A TERRIBLE TIME OF IT.
They have n new hired girl over at
Keyser'a farm, just outside our town,
says Mux Adeler, and on Tuesday, lie
fore starting to spend the day with a
friend, Airs, Kcyser instructed tho girl
to whitewash the kitchen (hiring her
absence. Upon returning, Mrs. Key-
sor found tho job completed iu a very
satisfactory manner. On Wednesdays
Mrs. Jveyser always churns, nnd last
Wednesday when sho was ready sho
went out, and, finding that .nr. rcy.
sor had already put the milk into tlio
chum tsho begun to turn tho handle,
This wns at eight o'clock in the morn
ing, and sho turned until ten without
any signs of butler appearing. Then
she culled to the hired map and bo
turned until dinner lime, when ho
knocked off with somo very offensive
lunguage addressed lo that butler which
had not yet como,.. After dinner the
hired girl took hold of the crank and
turned it energetically until two o ciock,
when she let go with a remark which
conveyed tho impression that she be
lieved tho churn to no naunton. i nen
Air. Kcyser came out and suid ho want
ed to know, what was tho mutter with
that churn, anyhow. Jt was a good
enough churn il people only knew
enough to work it. Mf. Koyscr then
worked lho crunk until hulf-past thrco,
when, as the butter hud not come, he
surrendered it again lo tho hired man
because be had an engagement in tho
village. Tho man ground tho mnchino
to an accompaniment ot lnglitiui im
pi-orations ; then the Kcyser children
each took ft turn lor an hour, tlion
SI i-s. Koyscr tried her hand, and when
she was exhausted sho again enlisted
the hired girl, who said her prayers
whilo sho turned. But tho butter
didn'tcomc. When Keysercnm home
and found tho churn Hill in action ho
blasted his eyes and did somo other
innocent swearing, and then ho seized
tho handle nnd suid he'd inuke tho but
ter como if he kicked up an earthquake
in doing it. Mr. Kcyser effected ubout
two hundred revolutions of tlio crank
a minute, enough to havo mndo any
ordinary butter come from the ends of
the earth; and when tho perspiration
began to stream from him and still tho
buttor didn't coino, ho uttered one
wild yell of rage and dissaipointment
and kicked tho churn over tho fenco.
When Aim. Kcyser went to pick it up
sho put her nose down closo to the
biittormilk and took a snuff. Then
sho understood how it was. Tho girl
had mixed the whitewanh in the churn
and left it there. A good, honest and
intelligent servant who know show to
churn can tlnd a situation al ivoyscrs.

"When jmveity conies in ut the door,
love flios out at the window." So says
the adage I And they oxpect us to
behove it ? Out upon such simplicity I
Mo man or woman hut will boldly con
tradict it, whenever nnd whercverthcy
bear It spoken, tr there ever existed
love rent, pure, honrtlclt lovo in the
soul ot any uiorUil, iniuk you iul tlio
loss of a few luxuries, or the want of a
few comforts lbnuerly enjoyed, could
banish this lovo from tho heart, or de
prive It of tho tender and earnest con
fidence and liiith which had ever been
its very lif?. , Would not poverty
rather lie tho means of strengthening
and refreshing the feelings of making
the words and actions more kind and
tender T-wonld It not rather bathe
means of making the whole life more
devoted ? , . .
Thero nro certain cases, we confess.
W'liioIi'rntKlii;, In sortie mensurt, 'Justify
the old proverb; but it ought to be
read, "When poverty Comes in at the
door, seeiuing lovo flies out nt the
window." o all know thero Ig a
vast difference between seeming and
true love. How veiy innny things
seem to he, and yet aro not ! , And
this poverty is tho undoubted, tho real
test of love. Wo onco knew a young
lady who was vainly wooed for years
by a rich man. She was very beauti
ful, but sho was also very proud. ' She
never loved him truly until poverty
fell heavily upon him. And then he
caiflo no inoro to her ; ho dnrcd not
seek her preseucC. Yet sho sought
him ; and there, in his own humble
home, sho accepted tho lover which
she had refused when ho was the own
er of a stately one.
Sonic pcoplo said she had no "prom-r
prido," and that she was "throwing
herself away. Hut thoso who knew
her better suid sho had dono nobly and
well, and so sho bail.
Never beloro had she looked so beau
tiful as when sho stood by her hus
band s sido in their plain littlo homo,
nnd sioko of tbeir future. ; And in
nftorvottrs.whcn.bv their united lulwirs,
wealth had once more returned to their
dwelling, tho samo sweet expression
still rested on tbetr tcntures ; out tlio
pride hud all gone, nnd in its place
there was a ltsik of soft, contentment
which proclaimed more plainly than
words could have done, that "poverty
can never put lovo to flight, but that
love must ever be exulted and purified
by honest poverty."
.And so it is. yi uv. then, snonm we
not believe it 1 Even tho belief will do
us good. To doubt it, is to cause the
false alarm which springs from tl;c
sophistry of the adage. Tho love
which endures through poverty, and
survives its trials and its troubles, is
eternal, never alterable; and while
thoro ia vital euorgy to nourish it, the
passion batllcs every attack mado ny
tho grim phantom despair when he
seeks to drive it out ol the window

thing protruding from onoend was seen
to move is if it had lift. Tho potato)
was cut open and tho stem was found
to he the tail of something inside which
seemed to be half potatoe nnd half an
imal. It was about as large as a
monse, with a brown color, was shaped
liko a potatoe, with ldontatiou liko
potatoe eyes, and vet seemed to bo
composed of animal flesh, and had life
and motion. No one had seen any
thing at all resembling it. It was to
be taken to Ilochestur and shown to
scientists."
