Lard Lamps.
Manufactured by m. b. Dyott & Kent, No.
64 South Second 6treet, Philadelphia—who
would invite the attention of those interested, to
'examine Dyott’s Patent Improved Pine Oil Lamps.
Their construction is superior, their arrangement
more simple, and embrace improvements possessed
by no other Lamps. The cost of burning will not
exceed one half the expense of any other light,
whilst they produce a more brilliant and steady
light than gas. Their construction is such that the
wick is supplied with Oil by a feeder, when it is
short; so that they can be burnt dry,and thus keep
the Oil always pure and the lamp clean. Their
management is so easy that a child can take care of
them. They are perfectly safe, and free from any
unpleasant odor. The above Lamps, together
with Dvolt’s Newly Improved Solar Lard and Oil
Lamps , are made in every desirable form, and suit
able for Churches, Stores, Halls, Factories, Lodge
Rooms, Hotels, and Billiard Saloons, and Lamps
with shades, designed for reading, and for every
purpose where light is required. A handsome anil
varied assortment of Candelabras and Girandoles,
together with Gas Fixtures of every pattern, style,
and finish, that arc made by any other manufactur
ers. Having every facility for manufacturing,;we
are prepared to sell wholesale and retail, as cheap
;ts other dealers; and the articles, are warranted
equal in app_earance, a!nd superior in construction,
to any that can he procured elsewhere. Merchants
and those who deal in any of the above articles are
solicited to call and examine our stock and prices
before purchasing. [Feb. 1,1848-6m*

The Dying Child.
*• There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown—
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone !’’
With grief’.oppressed, a mother stands beside the
sufferer’s bed ;
Her pale and sunken cheeks foretell thnt.hope hath
nearly fled :
Yet do not call her wretched—for in accents low
1 and clear,
Such sweet consoling words as these fell gently on
her ear:
“ I’ll not be with you long, mother—
I soon must say good-bye;
But, mother, we shall meet again
In God’s bright home on high.
Oh, mother,don’t von know you said
Sweet brother’s living there —
And that he is an angel now,
So beautiful and fair !
“ He will know me, when I come, mother,
He will take me by the hand;
And we’ll always be together there,
In yonder peaceful land :
And, mother, I shall wear bright wing-»
I’ll be an angel too !
And then before God’s golden throne,
I’ll kneel and pray for you.
“ 1 like to feel your hand, mother,
So soft upon my brow ;
1 always loved its gentle touch -
’Tis dearer to me now.
Oh, mother, do not weep for nir
I’m not afraid to die;
Your Up is trembling, and I see
The tears arc in vour'eve.
Lean closer down—\our ear, mother—
My voice is growing weak':
You are weeping yet —I felt a tear
.lust fall upon my cheek.
My eyes grow dim —and, oh ! I hear
Sweet music from the sky ;
It is for me —I’m going now —
Mother—.good-bye—good-bve !"
like the last soft beam of light, that fades at
close of day,
That gentle spirit took its flight, and passed from
earth awav:
But now in shining v'esture Hail, with radiant lace
he stands.
Blending ltis songs of love and praise with bright
robed angel hands.

Once I saw in pride of beauty.
Full unveil’d, a golden flower :
Sweetest perfume flowed around it
It was evening’s winning hour.
I approached the splendid blossom.
Kissed its bosom softly swelling ;
But no odors breathed around it,
Tho’ it seemed their chosen dwelling
By this bolssom bloomed unseen,
Low in shade, a milder flower—
Pale its cheek and wet its eves,
Bathed in evening’s dewy shower
O’er the lonely flower I hung;
Thence the sweets that filled the air
To that gentle flower I hung—
Pale, yet seemed it more than fair.

A. Good Daughter.
A good daughter! There are other ministers ot
lave more conspicuous than her. but none in which
a gentler, lovelier spirit dwells and none to which
the heart's warm requitals more joyfully respond.
There is no such thing as a comparative estimate
of a parent’s love for one or another child. There
is little which he needs to covet, 16 whom the trea
sure of a good child has been given. But a son’s
occupations and pleasures carry him abroad, and
he resides more among temptations, which hardly
permit affection that is following him, perhaps,
over half the globe, to be nnmingled with anxiety,
until the time When he comes to relinquish the
shelter of.his father's roof for one of his own;
while a good daughter is th*- steady light of her
parent's house.
Her ideal is indissolubly connected with that of
his happy fireside. She is his morning sunlight
and evening star. The grace, vivacity and tender
ness of her sex, have their place in the mighty
sway which she holds over his spirit. The lessons
of recorded wisdom which he reads w’ith! her eyes,
come to his mind wi‘h a new charm, as blended
with the beloved melody of her voice. He scarcely
knows weariness which her song does not make
him forget, or gloom which is proof against the
young brightness of her smile. She is the ’pride
and ornament of his hospitality, the gentle nurse
of his sickness, and the constant agent in those
nameless, numberless arts of kindness which one
chiefly cares to have rendered because they are un
pretending, but evpressive proofs of love. And
then what a cheerful sharer she is. and what an
able lightener of her mother's cares! 'NVliat an
ever present delight-and triumph to a mother's af
fection. .
Ah! how little do these daughters know of the
power which God has committed to them, and the
happiness God would have them enjoy, who do not,
every time a parent's eye rests upon them, bring
rapture to a parent's heart. Ati ue love will almost
certainly always greet their approaching footsteps
that they cannot alienate. But their ambition
should be, not to. have it a love merely which feel
ings implanted by nature excite, but one made in
tense and overflowing by approbation or worthy
conduct; and she is strangely blind to her own
happiness, as well as undutiful to them to whom
she owes most, in whom the perpetual appeals of
paternal disinterestedness do not call iortli the
prompt and full echo of filial devotion.
The ITpright Business Man.
There is no being in the world for whom I feel a
higher moral respect and admiration than for the
upright man of business. No,mot for the philan
thropist, the missionary, the martyr. I feel that 1
could more easily be a martyr than a man of that
lofty moral, uprightness. And let me say. yet more
distinctly, that it is not for the generous man that I.
feel this kind of respect. Generosity seems to me
a low quality, u mere impulse, compared with the
lofty quality I speak of. It is not for the man who
distributes extensive charities, who bestows magni
ficent donations. That may all be very well. I
speak not to disparage it. I wish there were more
of it; and yet it may all consist with a want of the
true lofty*, unbending uprightness. That is-not the
man, then, of whom I speak; but it is he who
stands amidst all the interests and perilous exigen
cies of trade, firm, calm, disinterested, and upright.
It is the man who can see another man's distress as
well as his own. It is the man whose mind his
own advantages does not blind nor cloud for an in
stant—who could sit a judge upon a question be
tween himself and his neighbor just as safely as the
purest magistrate upon the bench of justice. Ah !
how much richer than ermine—how far nobler than
the train of magisterial authority—how more aw-,
ful than the guarded pomp of majesty', is that-sim
ple, magnanimous and majestic tnith!
TD“ We must look for happiness in the world,
not in the things of the world; but within our
selves, in our .tempera, and in our hearts.
Sketch of Louis Philippe,
Louis Philippe was born October 6th, 1773 l and
l is a descendant, by a younger stock, lropi Louis
j Thirteenth; The family, being of the blood royal,
have always stood next the throne, and been pos
' sessed of princely revenues.
The father of Philippa took an active part in
favor of French Republicanism, in the early stages
of the first Revolution. Particular circumstances,
unconnected with prmciples,made him the personal
enemy of Louis Sixteenth. He was was an active
ami popular member of the several Assemblies,
which governed France* from 17S9tol793—re
nounced the title of Duke of Orleans, and assumed
that of Philippe Engalite, (equality.)
In the National Convention, he voted for the
deposition and execution of the King. He sought
to conciliate Robespierre and his associates, by a
renunciation of all claim to the throne. He was
rich and popular, two qualifications which rendered
him obnoxious to the Jacobins. They wanted his
money, and dreaded his influence. He suffered un
der the guillotine, in November, 1793, by virtue of
a sentence of an instrument of Robespierre's ven
geance, called a revolutionary tribunal.
His son Louis Philippe was then twenty years
old. (now 74.) He escaped the fate of his: father
bv flight, and became a wanderer and an exile
from 1793 to 181-1, in various parts of Europe
and in the United States. His patrimonial estates
were all confiscated to enrich of his
family. In his wanderings he visited Switzerlandj
Norwav. Denmark, Lapland, and the North Cape:
beyond the Artie circle, concealing his rank, and
travelling under a feigned name; sometimes.alone
and on foot, and at others employing himself as a
scool master for subsistence. After these wander
ings in Europe, he arrived in Philadelphia in Octo
ber. 1790. visited most of the States from Virginia
northward, descended the Mississippi to New Or
leans in the winter of 1798, and in February j IbUU,
arrived in London from New York. From that
period he resided principally at Twickenham, in
England, until the restoration of the Bourbons.—
At their restoration, he returned to France and ob
tained his patrimonial estates. Not adopting fully
the arbitrary principles of the elder branch of the
dynasty, he lived most of the time from ISM to
1830. in retirement at his country seat at Neuilly.
In the revolution of July. 1830, eighty-nine per
sons who had beemchosen to the Chamber of Dep
uties, and whose election Charles Tenth had an
nulled. assembled at Paris and appointed Louis
Philippe Lieutenant -General of the Kingdom. On
the 3d of August, he opened the session of Chambers
in that capacity, the Chamber of Deputies then
consisting of the eighty-nine persons who had made
him Lieut. General, and a number of their associates,
and the House of Peers consisting of those who
Itfid fyeen created by the Bourbons.
In his address, Louis PhiUippe communicated to
the members of Parliament the abdication of
Charles and his son. and recommended them to fill
the vacancy, which was accordingly done by the
choice of Louis Philippe, under what was at that
time considered a liberal charter. On the 9th, he ac
cepted and took the Coronation oath. Lafayette, be
lieving that a limited, constitutional monarchy was
the Government best suited to the condition of
France, and that Louis Philippe would administer
the Government on correct principles, assisted in
his elevation.
Rut so Intoxicating is power, that in the course
of live years, next succeeding the elevation of the
patriotic King, he had become to resemble his des
potic predecessors, and entirely disappointed the
liberals who raised him to power. On the 2Sth of
July, I STJo, the 50th Anniversary of the Revolution,
us the King in great pomp was passing opposite
the Boulevards of the Temple, an explosion took
place which killed and wounded thirty-live of the
train, sixteen of whom died instantly. A ball
grazed the King's arm, and a second's delay; in the
discharge saved the King's life. This instrument
of destruction was made in a. small room! about
seven feet square, and was built of wood, braced
with iron. It was well called an “Infernal Ma
chine." Twenty-live gun barrels fully charged and
connected by a train of powder were fixed on this
machine, with the fronts slighly depressed, so that
the balls might reach any one passing in the street
on horseback. The guns were so heavily charged,
that five of them burst, severely wounding the as
sassin. But tliia dreadful warning did not deter the
King Irom his course, which he has since gteadily
pursued, of consolidating the power in his own
family, and of establishing a strong and arbitrary
Government.. At various times isolated outbreaks
have taken place, such as that at the city of Tou
louse, which, though speedily suppressed, evinced
the hidden fire beneath, which has at length burst
forth with awful fury, driving the .Royal family
before if, and consuming the empty throne to ashes.
What will next follow, none -can yet do more than
conjecture.
Confidence in tlie People.
j When the Revolutionists who won the Republic
; for France had forced their way into the Palais
; Royal and had reach'd the apartments of General
i Athalin, on«- of Louis Philippe’s aid-de-camps, they
encountered tin; General’s lady, a woman of digni
fied deportment and stature, whom the general had
! espoused for her rare beauty, being but the daugh-
I ter of a poor fisherman of Granville. “My friends,”
she exclaimed, “I trust you have not come [here to
offer any injury to myself or my husband. lam
not one of your fine ladies, but a daughter of the
people; I throw' myself then confidently on your
protection. But I will not leave my husband; he
is confined to his bed by illness.” The band were
• struck with the-boldness of the appeal, 'fjhey re.-
: paired to the General's chamber, placed him in an
! arm-chair, and. headed by this daughter of peo
i pie. they conveyed him to a friend’s house in the
• neighborhood. On reaching his destination the
General recollected leaving a sum of 130,0C0f.
j (£.V200) in notes and gold in his desk. He hand
ied the key of the desk to a working-, man in a
i blou*o, whom he did not know. An hour after the
| man returned with every sou of the money!. This
J is by by no means a solitary instance ol the disin
terestedness and nobility of mind displayed by the
people during these most glorious three days.
Tiie Potentates and the Peasant.
When the alii'd army-were in possession of Paris,
■ it was no unusual thing for the emperors of Russia
j and Austria, and the King of Prussia, to w-alk out
Tv<«og. In one of these rambles they were accosted
by a countryman of rather superior address, who
asked them to point out the way to the Ttiilleries.
! to which the reply was. “ that they were going that
; way. and should be glad of his company.;' • 'The
: familiar tone of conversation of the Emperor Al
, c.vander soon brought out the stranger to converse,
1 who. alter >orne time, ask-d to whom he had the
J pleasure of talking ! and the answer was,: •• Jam
' the Emperor of Russia!" This seemed to stagger
his belief, he asked another, "And pray who are
you, sir?” -1 am the Emperor of Austria!”—
j Another, “And you, sir ?" “I am the King of
j Prussia!" This seeming the climax of absurdity,
,he burst out into a loud laugh,and was going awav.
' when the Emperor of Russia begged he would tell
j him who he was. “Oh,” said he, “ I am the Em
j perov of China!" and then walked quietly away,
i evidently under the impression that he was •• not
jto be done." « !

Home Affections.
.The heart has memories that cannot die. The
rough rubs of the world cannot obliterate them.—
They are memories of home, early home. There
is magic in the very sound. There is the old tree
under which the light hearted boy swung iu many
a summer day; yonder the river in which he learn
ed to swim: there the house iu which he knew a
parent s love, and found ; a parent's
now there is the room in which he romped with
brother or with sister, long since, alas! and in the
yard in which lie must soon be gathered, over
shadowed by yon old church, whither with u joy
ous troop like himself- he has ofteu followed his
parents to worship with, and to honor the good old
man who gave him to God in baptism. Why even
the very school house associated in youthful days,
with thoughts of ferule and tasks, uow comes back
to bring pleasant remembrances of many auattach
ment there formed, many an occasion that called
forth some generous exhibition of the traits of hu
‘man nature. There he learned to tellsome of his
best emotions. There, perchance, he first met the
being, who by her love and tenderness in after life
has made a home for himself, happier even than that
which childhood knew. There are certatn feelings
of humanity, and those roo among the best, that
caii find,an appropriate place lor their exercise only
by one's own fireside. There is a sacredness in the
privacy of that spot which it were a species of dese
cration to violate! He who seeks wantonly to in
vade it. is neither more or less than a villain: and
hence there exists no surer test of the debasement
of morals in a community, than the disposition tu
tolerate in any nioddthe man who disregards the
sanctities of private life. In.the turmoil of the
world, let there be at least one spot where the poor
man may find affection that is disinterested, where
he may indulge a confidence that is not likely to
be abused.
The Motlier. 1
Scarcely a (lay passes that we do not hear of
the loveliness of woman; the affection of a sister,
or the devotedness of a wife; and it is Ihe remem
brance of fuch things that cheers and comforts the
dreariest hour of life; yet a mothers love far ex
ceeds them in strength. in disiiiteredness, and in
purity. The child of her bosom may have forsa*
ken her and left her; he may have disregarded all
her instructions and warnings, he may have be
come an outcast from society, and none may care
for or notice him—yet his mother changes not,
nor is her love weakened, and for him her .prayers
will ascend ! Sickness may weary other friends— .
misfortune drive away familiar acquaintances,,and
poverty leave nope to lean upon: yet they affect
not a mother's love, but only call into exercise iu
a still greater degree her tenderness and affection.
The mother has duties to perform which are
weighty and responsMg* ; the lisping infant must
be taught how to live—the thoughtless child must
be instructed in wisdom s ways—the tempted youth
be advised and warned—the dangers and difficulties
of life must be pointed out, and lessons of virtue
must be impressed on the mind. Her words, acts,
faults, frailties and temper, are all noticed by those
that surround her ; and.impressions in the nursery
exert a more powerful influence in forming the
character, than do any after instruction. All pas
sions are unrestrained—if truth is not adhered to '
—if consistency is not seen—it'there be want ol
affection or a murmuring at the dispensations of
Providence; the youthful mind will receive the irn
pression, and subsequent life will developeit; but
if all is purity, sincerity, truth, contentment and
love, then will the result be a blessing, and many
will rejoice in the example and influence of the
pious Mother.
The True LUe,
The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat and
drink and sleep; to be exposed to darkness and the
light; to pace round in the mill of habit; and turn
the wheel of wealth ; to make reason our book
keeper, and turn thought into an implement of
trade—this is not life. In all this but-a poor frac
tion oi the consciousness of humanity is awaken
ed: and the sanctities still slumber which make it
most worth while to be. Knowledge, truth, love,
beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to
the mechanism of existence; the laugh of mirth
which vibrates through the heart, the tears that
freshen the dry wastes within, the music that
brings childhood back, the prayer that calls the fu
ture near, the doubt which makes us meditate, the
death that startles ns with mystery, the hardship
that forces us to struggle, the anxiety that ends in
trust —are the true nourishment of our uatural
' being.
Art of Making Men Happy.
There is an art of making men happy which
very few understand. It is not always by putting
the hand in the pocket that we remove affliction;
there must, be something more. Then* must be
advice, and labor, and activity; we must bestir our
selves. leave our arm chairs, throw off'our slippers,
and go abroad, if we would effectually serve our
fellow-creatures. Whcnjio this active and effectual
benevolence the more prompt etlicaey of money is
added, how great and how lasting may not the good
be! .Few. however, possess this quality of philan
thropy; for it costs less to give a guinea than to
give an hour.
Punch in Naples. —The theatres in Italy re
sound only with patriotic hymns and cries of en
thusiasm. At Naples, in the little theatre of San
Carlino. a curious incident took place. All the ac
tors having appeared With Italian colors, the au
dience observed with surprise that Punch had no
cockade. Immediately violent shouts came from
every corner .of the hall: “The cockade, Punch,
the cockade!” cried the pit. The costume of the
Neapolitan Punch resembles that ol a clown. He
wears loose trowsers. a shirt with full sleeves, and
a grey high-pointed hat. The actor who represen
ted his character, advanced to the front of-the
stage, took off his mask, and saluting the audience,
said : "ll it is to me, John Casiti, that your'appeals
are addressed, I will tell you, gentlemen, that the
national cockade is on my heart, (and opening his
vest, he displayed an enormous tri-colored cockade.)
but I thought it a profanation to put it on the
jacket of Punch. 1 At these words, pronounced
with a firm voice and incredible sincerity and
frankness, frantic applauses sounded, throughout
the hall, and tears of (‘motion lei! over more than
one cheek. It is the first time Punch’evcr made
his audience weep.
Love and Admiration.— lt is a»glorious thing
—and those who truly love know well how glori
ous it is—after moments of misunderstanding, even
of reciprocal transgression, to rest again, heart to
heart, and to feel, deeply ieel, that there is a cer
tainty in the world, in spite of all the , powers, of
hell, a certainty, which is heaven upon earth—that
they love each other, that they belong to each other,
that nothing, nothing in the world, shall separate
them, who have found each other again in true, in
perfect love. 0! this is a certainty,the most-beau
tified that there is on earth—a .certainty which is
the foundation and security for every other. He
felt it truly, the man, who, when about to leave the
stage ot life, laid his hands upon his heart and
said—“l love, therefore, lam immortal!”
D ~T Ehe race of Mankind would perish did they
cease to aid each other. From the time that the
mother binds the child's head till the moment that
some kind assistant wipes the death-damp from the
brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual
help. All, therefore, that need aid have alright to
ask it of their fellow mortals; no one who holds
the power of granting can refuse it without guilt*—
