She didn't look like anything Man ever loved before, For—you bet—that such a pattern Never came to light of yore, Such a funny style of head-dress, Like a plate for making pies, Just resting on a fireplug, And down slanting o'er the eyes. Its oh! her robe. <ic promenade, Its oil! her bully glance; And oh! that howling stylo of dress, Tout a ta mode de prance. I'm eerease and busted, And dreadful are my sighs O'er that fire-plug and dinner-plate, Just sliding o'er her eyes. Jftisrellancous. Philadelphia Manufactures. Wo are somewhat astonished to no j tiee that the Quaker city of Philadel j phia pots forth a claim to being, not | only the greatest manufacturing city jon this continent, but, with the excep tion ot London, the greatest in the whole world. We are all familiar iliar with its advantages as a quiet and j pleasant place of residence; but that it I should claim to be a great industrial ; centre, will be news to many. As the matter is one, however, in which our ! merchants are directly interested, and ' the consumers of goods indirectly, we j will give a brief synopsis of its claims j ID 1860, according to the census re-' turns, there were in Philadelphia, 6,298 manufactories having a capital of 873, 318,885, which employed 98,000 bands, and produced an annual value of $136,- i 000,000. Recently, Mr. Edwin T. Freed icy, a well known author, has prepared a voluirye ot 700 pages, on the manufactures of Philadelphia, and demonstrated that, in 1866, the facto ries produced over tioo hundred millions of dollars of staple goods. This is an as tounding exlubit; no other city on the I American continent approximates this amount. In 1855, the State of Massa jchusetts, including Boston, Lowell, aud [all her famous manufacturing towns, ! did not produce more than two hun dred and forty millions. In 1860, Now York had only seven small Cotton j Goods Manufactories, and no Woolen j Mills; Philadelphia is now the commer cial centre ol two hundred and sixty ; Cotton and Woolen factories, and has; besides several thousand hand looms, I of which the annual product is equal to that of seventy additional mills of average size. The class of Dry Goods manufactured in Philadelphia is of those low priced staple goods, which are especially adapted to the wants of the people of the Middle, Western, and Southern States. Millions of yards of Pantaloonery, Cottonades, Checks and Stripes, Tickings, Osnaburgs, Ken tucky Jeans, and narrow textile Fab rics, are made there every year. Of carpetings, tho product amounts to : nearly ten millions of dollars; of ready- j mado clothing, to eighteen millions; of : refined 6ugar over twenty millions; of boots and shoes, over five millions; of! stoves, nearly three millions. Phila-1 delphia claims to have tho largest mil- i itary goods manufactory, the largest chemical factories, tho largest cordage [ factory, the largest bookselling house, and the largest locomotive works and machine shops in the United States. I It is quite evident, that her proximity j to the coal mines and iron beds, her! I low rents and facilities afforded me | chanics for comfortable and eeonomi ;eal living, have given Philadelphia a ; start in manufacturing, which nothing! but her want of enterprise can retard.j It is moreover evident that with the progress already made in manufactu- j ring, tho Philadelphia market is worthy tho attention of those who wish to purchase goods at first-hand. | Among the most wonderful pro ductions of fine Penmanship on record are the following: Schulter, a German, in 1831 wroto the ten commandments within a cir cle throe-fourths of an inch in text. A clergyman in Buffalo, N. Y., wroto tho ontiro Lord's Prayer on one line ono inch in length. At tho World's Fair in London, was exhibited a miniature testament writ ten on tine tissue paper, beautifully bound and placed within a seal ring.

Tho Monongahela Republican says: 'Not very long since, the young and beautiful wife of ono of our citizens was called to her final account, leaving her husband disconsolate, sad, bereft. She was buried in the adjacent ceme tery; and the husband returned to his desolate homo—but not to forget the loved one. Sho is present with him by day in spirit and in his dreams at night. One peculiarity of his dreams, and ono that haunted him, being re peated night after night, was this, that the spirit of his wife came to his bed-! side and told him that the undertaker ' had not removed from her face the svuare piccejof muslin or napkin which had been used to cover her face after death, hut had screwed down her cof ! fin lid with it upon her; that she could; breathe in her grave, but was unrest! on account of the napkin. He tried | to drive the dream away, but it abided with him by night and troubled hiin by ! day. He sought the consolations ofj religion; bis pastor prayed with him and assured him that it was wicked to; indulge such morbid fancy. It was the subject of his own petition before the Throne of Grace, but still the spirit came and told anew the story of her suffocation. In despair he sought the undertaker, Mr. Dickey, who told \ him that the uapkin had not been re- [ moved, hut urged him to forget the j circumstance, as it could not be any j J possible annoyance to inanimate clay I While the gentleman frankly acknowl edged this, he could not avoid the ap parition, and continual stress upon j - bis mind began to tell upon bis health j At length he determined to have the i body disinterred and visited the un dertaker for that purpose. Here he; was met with the same advice, and' persuasion, and convinced once more I of his folly, tho haunted man returned! to his homo. That night, more vivid! than over, more terribly real than be-i fore, she came to his bedside, and up-j braided him for his want of affection, ! to remove tho cause of all her suffer ing. The next night, with a friend, he repaired to tho sexton, who was prevailed upon to accompany them, and there the light of the cold, , round moon, tho body was lifted from | its narrow bed; the coffin lid was un | screwed, and the napkin removed from the face of the corpse. That night she : came to his bedside once more, but for 1 the last time. Thanking him for his ' kindness, sho pressed her cold lips to | his cheek, and came again no more. Reader this is a true story; can you explain tho mysteries of Dreams? The Jewish New Year. As announced yesterday, the Israel ites are now celebrating their New Year—a. m. 5, 628. The origin ot the festival is given in Leviticus xxm, 23, j 24, 25: "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, speak unto the children of Israel, saying: In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall yo have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convoca tioo. Ye shall do no servile work."' Although occurring in the first month, j it is called the seventh month because at the institution of the Passover, just prior to the departure from Egypt, so important an era was their exit to bej that God commanded "this month shall be tho beginning of months.' [ (Exodus XII, 2.) The cornet, or trumpet, which isj sounded on New Year is made of a ram's horn, to commemorate tlidfe tended sacrifice of Isaac on Mount Moriali by his father, Abraham, the j anniversary of which event is at this i period. Tho blowing of a cornet is a j rite peculiar to this festival, becauso at j the beginning of the year tlicy are to renew their allegiance to their Heaven ly King, and to remind them of "that | great day when the great trumpet shall ! sound, and those that are wandering I about in the land of Ashen and the outcasts from the land of Egypt, shall come to worship the Lord on His Holy Mount at Jerusalem," The services of the day are of a three fold character: Ist. Homage— to invoke the speedy approach ot the Kingdom of God, when all mankind will arrive at the true knowledge of their Creator, and unite in the worship of the Supreme Benefactor. 2d. Of Rememberance—acknowledging the divine omniscenee and providence. 3d Sounding the Cornet—to celebrate that future jubiloo when mankind will be free from the fetters of error and acquire perfection in tho knowledge of their God. Tho festival is also the beginning of the ten days of penitence, at the close of which ia the Great Day of Atone-) meat. Vol. 57, No. 41. Chicken* Hatched from fci 1/209 Years Old. The Paris correspondent of TheNa j tion states that the guests of the Abbo Denis, curate of the parish of St Elio, in the Faubourg St. Antoine, dined a few da 3's ago on fowls whose immedi ate ancestors figured, he says, on ttio tablo of the great Frankish King Dag obert. When the Abbe Denis laid tho first stone of tho church and Presby tery he has built, by his own exer tions, on the site of the old chateau and gardens of Dagobort, a hen's nest fu'l of eggs was discovered beneath tho ruins of the ancient budding. Thcso eggs, more than twelve hundred years old, were about to be thrown away by the laborers, when the Abbe, remem i boring that whoat had been grown from grain found in Egypt in mum mies dating back from the time of tho Pharaohs, bethought him that possi bly there might still be life in theso I eggs- A snvant of tho institute, consulted at once in reference to these precious relics of an age when there was as yet no Franco to detest' Perfidious Albion' or to be jealous of Prussia and needle i guns, advised their being forthwith confined to a hen of approved success in tho maternal capacity. This arivice having been acted upon the good cure and his friend had the delight of wit nessing, twenty-one days afterwards, . the hatching of a fine brood of chick ens, tho direct progeny of the deni zens of King Dagobert's barn yard. The fowls thus obtained have been carefully kept from a 113- mesalliance with their congeners of less ancient blood; and the Abbo has now a yard so well replenished with 'King Dagobert j fowls' that he not only supplies his iown larder with poultry of this illus | trious breed, but is about to organize, at the suggestion of numerous friends, a sale of 'King Dagobert eggs' for the i benefit of tho poor of his parish. ■ The Writing on the Hock. Ages upon ages ago the t ido was out, and the muddy beach lay smooth as , this sheet of paper belore me. A cloud 1 passed over the sky, and a shower of big rain or hail camo down, and pitted , tho mud as thick as leaves on the 1 trees. A strong wind drove Ihc drops, so that the impressions were a little 1, one-sided. They had written their - short history as plain as my pen can i' write; and oven the direction which tho 1 wind blew was recorded. Some great 1 frogs and lizards which used to live there, came hopping over the mud, 1 and left their tracks also deeply print ed on the shore. By and by the great waves came softly stealing up, and covered tho whole surface with fine sand, and so the tracks were seen 110 ! more for ages upon ages. The clay ,; hardened into solid rock, and so did > tho sand; and after these thousands of , years had passed away, some niasors 1 came upon tho curious inscription.— J Men of science, who are skilled in f 'reading these stony leaves of God's great book, read, as plainly as if they -had been present, tho story of that passing shower. It had been written on the softest clay, but it was read on solid rocks. So your hearts to day are like tho soft chiy. Everything stamps them, but the stamps are not so easy to remove. They will bo there when you are grown up to be a man jor woman. O, what deep, dark prints I the bad words of evil associates make? But bow lovely it will be to recall the | record which kind and loving actions make upon the soul! An agriculturist has tried with J success the following method of making peaches grow without stones : "Turn I the tops of the trees down, cut off tho ends, stick them into tho ground, and fasten so with stakes; in a year or two these tops will take root, and when well rooted cut off the branches con • jnecting these reversed and rooted branches with tho tree proper, and ' this reversed peach tree will produco flue peaches without stones." Tbo same experiment may be tried with 1 plums, cherries, and currants. [The result, wo suspect, would ro ' alizo more "experiment" than peach ' os ] > Gey Corn is now being shipped North f from tho Southern States, and it is . pleasant to know that some portions of that unfortunate section are this year producing a surplus cf grain.— The Nashville Press, referring to tho grain shipment North from that place, says that the 'sending of corn to Louis ville and Cincinnati is something be yond the memory of the oldest inhab itants. The cause is simply that a j better price, by some twenty cents', is j paid in Cincinnati than in Koahvilb.
