VIGILS OF THR TRIAPI.RA OF THZ ANCIENT*:

there was a curtain of extreme value, beautifully
woven of wool, after the manner of the Assv runs,
and dyed with the Tynan purple, which was

they would discover the sacred statue to the eyes
( of the adoring crowds that ass,eabled within the

in that of Diana, at Ephesus. Stuart, in hie An

the temple was for the purpose of covering the

There is no *to ol:thoco!louoisy sioga sighed*
the haute welfare of the cisuitry mere essential ,
ty.depends thak the rising generation of young
mechanics. ii they are intelligent, sober, indus
trious, and consequently inidepandent.-atile and
accustomed to fudge for themselves. and govern
ed, in their conduct, by an enlightened view of
thou own Nut interest; if they are men of this
isms the mechanics, and eapecialty the young
mechanics, will form the strongest bulviark of
our free institutions, aad the beit tropes of the
Republic.
It; on this Mher band, they, are ignorant, idle,
dissolute, and`consegoently poor, and dependent
upon those who are willing to trust them—if our
niechanicii should unhappily become such a alas's,
(of which I thank God, there is but little danger.)
they would sane be converted into the mere tools
of a tew rich and artful men, who, having Brat
stripped them of every sense of self respect, and
every feeling • proper to virtuous omens, would
use them as 'passive instromenta for promoting
I
their own ambitious objects, and * fur the enact
went of laws. which are beneficial to nobody but
the artful few with whom they originate.
It is as true of the mechanical • arta as of any
other profession, that "knowledge is power," and
we earnestly recommend to the attention of our
friends among the young mechanics, the following
excellent ...hints," copied Isom the. Buffalo Jour
Hurrs r Yoorro MICCHANICII.—The first object
of a mectsante, as it should be tha t of every one,
is to become throughly acquainted witb his
pturucular business or calling. We are too apt to
learn our trade or profession by .ha..`ves--to prac
tise it by hslves—and hence being compelled to
live by halves—die by inches.
Study and labor to excel yours competitors, and
then you will nut tail to command the patronage
of the most duicerning and liberal paymasters.
There is a great variety of highly useful knowl-
edge which ap,ertains to every branch of busi
nese that may tie acquired by a course ofjudicio •
reading. This knowledge, well digested and
systematized, constitutes the science of every
occupation. Thus, if you arc a carpenter, the
science of architecture should be studied with
profound atteqtion; if a sh.p budder, the science
of navigation and hydrostatics, and that comatio
Dation of them which will give the lirgesit capa
city to , a vessel with the least resistance from the
water, and the greatest safety in time of danger
from the elemeuts. are a mechintet or
millwright, the mechanic powers should be well
understood, and if the machinery is to be propel
led by steam or water, you should study the
science of hydrnlies, and should have a perfect
knowledge of the chemical combination of beat
.and water, both in its latent and active state, and
understand how it happens that a Tian of water
converted tutu steam, which, by a thermomeler,is
no hotter than boiling water, yet will bring a
gallon of water up to the saine temperature. 11
you are a hatter, • dyer, a painter, or a tanner,
there is no study se useful as chemistry.
The tact was known a quarter of • century to
chemists that gum shellac was insoluble in water
before any hailer ever used it to make w ,terpreof
hats. The whole art of giving beantit.,l and du•
rable colors to different hodies entirely depends
upon the chemical affinity of such bodies fin the
coloring maicrials, and the affinity of this latter
for the different colored rays or light.
We speak understandingly when we say that
the tanarra and the public in the United States
lose millions annuity from the lack of scientific
knowledge how hest to combine vegetable Mania
with animal geietia, which is' the chemical pro
cess of making leather—call it by what names
you please.
There is a vast amount of knowledge which is
now completely useless that ought to be brought
home to the understanding of every operative in
this Republic.—We love industry atd respect all
who practise it- But labor without study is like
a body without a coal.—Cultivate acd enrich
the mind with all useful knowledge, and rest

New Jersey.—The result of the election
lii this State is still doubtful, owing to a
very close vote. Both parties claim as
yet, the Congressional representation, and
more importance attaches itself to the
State result, as Mr. Southard's term as
Senator, expires on the 4th of March nowt,
and it is incumbent on the Assembly to
supply the vacancy.
Ohio —As far as returns have yet been
received, Ohio seems to have followed the
example ofi'ennsylvania„ and bowed itself
to the idols of Van Burenism. Gov.
Vance, the Whig candidate, is in a most
decided minority so far, and there is hard
ly a possibility for the Northern and
Western Counties to bring him up. The
majorities of 49 counties, according to the
Globe, stood as follows: Shannon (V. B.)
15,848; Vance (Whig) 7,775.
Mayor of Philadelphia. uch- excite.
ment seems to have been produced by the
election of Mr. Roach, in the place of
Abe Swift, Esq. as Mayor of the City.
The friends of Col. Swift contend, that the
Councils were under an implied pledge to
support
„his re-election; that the recent
municipal tickeuelected, was understood
to be a Swift ticket; and that his untiring
assiduity in the discharge of the incum
bent duties renders this unexpected rejec
tionoi matter of surprfsesuid regret.

bon, a specimen number of the "Penntlyl-

and is intended .as a vehicle of commtini

mineral producticina of Pennsylvania, rod
the increasing importance which 'yotrly
becomes attached to her mineral weitlih,
afford conclusive evidence of the utility of
this plan, and the necessity of an active
and liberal . support. I :‘
In the Coal Won every one is reore
or less interesteein the iwomulgation of
scientific discoveries, and the investigation
of theories which will tend to place the
