TIIE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH.
ST IL W, LONSPELLOW.
Under a spreading chesnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And theinneeles Of his brawny arms
Are 'strong as Iron bands.
His hair is crisp, ,and black, and long;
His 'race is like the tan;
His browis wet, with honest sweat; • -
• He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face ?
For he owes not any man.
Week out, week in, from morn till night,
You can hear bis bellows bloW ;
Yoti can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and stow,
Like a sexton ringing the old kirk chimes
When the *riming sun is low.
And children corning home from school
Look in at the open door;
.They love to see the flaming forge,
And bear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that Of
Like chaff from a thrashing floor.
He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys,
He hears the palson pray and preach,
He hears his - daughter's voice,
tinging' in the village choir,
And it makes his o heart rejoice.
It sounds to him like heernother's voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think of her once more.
- How in the grave she lies, .
And with his hard rough hand he wipes
A tear from one his eyes.
Toiling—rejoicing'--sorrowing—
Onward through life he goes:
Each morning sees some task begin,
- Each evening sees it close; -
Something attempted—something done,
Has earned a night's repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of Life
Our fortunes must be wrought„
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.
THE SEASON'S,
la a quaint, thoughtful little poem, written by a Get
man who died n 1676:
In fair Spring's fresh budding hours,
What adorns our garden bowers?
When departing Spring we mourn,
What is shed from Summer'si horn 1
Ray and corn
What is autumn's bounteous sign
Mark of Providence divine 1
When old Winter, hobbling slow,
COMPS, what do we gain, d'ye know
Ice and snow.
Hay and corn, and little flowers,
ice, snow, fruit and wine are ours.
Given to us every year,
By Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter,
As they each in turn appear.
Spring gives treasure; Summer pleasure,
Autumn gladdens, Winter saddens,
Spring revives, Summer thrives,
Autumn pleases, Winter freezes.
Therefore, friends, we all have reason
To extol each coming . season,
Spring and Summer, Autumn, Winter
Honor, counsel, deeds sublime,
Are the precious gifts of time.
From the Friendship's Offering, for 1841.
MY BROTHER.
Is this my little brother ?
.How cold he is and still.
Do take him up.4dear, mother!
Is he not very ill?
No, no ! my child, the dear one
Will suffer no more pain,
'Tisdeath makes him so silent:
He will not move again.
Not hold his little Buns oat!
Nor make that plea':::ant noise !
Nor open wide his tiny hand
to take the pretty toys.
'Twas little brother's spntrr
Which made him laugh and play,
That which you loved you. see not;
There's nothing hore but clay.
Why.do you weep,- thin, mother
You said the other day,
To.die was only going home:
Did brother went to stay !
Will God love to see him,
And show pretty things! •
And if he cries to come to you,
Won't be give him, little wings
He has not gone away, child ;,
If we love him'with our heaits,
His spirit will stay . With us,
When this little forte departs. •
• • If you are good and gentle,
He will always be with you ;
And I willtry to grieve no more, •
If you are kind and! true. • -
We'll kiss once more those lips,
; Then we will go away ; _
And God Will give us happy thoughts, .
If woas k him wheicare pray.

Philadelplita, Nov. 15,1840:
England.—An American, writing from Liver
pool, says :
The principal things which struck me' in England
in the way 'of improvement since my last visit were'
the Railroads, the Galvanic Telegraph,lhe Rude •
Light (truly a new one.) and the glass and silk man
ufacture for curtains and dr pery. Of the first, the
railroads—they may be said, I think, to approach
perfection as nearly as possible. They are built for
ages, remarkiible for their massiveness and magnifi
cence, are architecturally, for the taste, comfort and ;
solidity of the cars an d locomotive. I travelled on all
that are opened; the Liverpool and Birmingham, the
Birmingham and London, the London and South.
ampton, and, as finishtd, the Great VVestern, , wlitch
is much superior, in every point of view, to any yet
constructed.' I havelled at the rate of forty miles an
hour upon it, breakfasting in Reading, Berkshire, at.
half past eight, and walked the streeti of
Londcn be-
fore_ten ! It was not without interest to me, that,
on a branch road front Birmingham to Cheltenham,
just opened, I was whirled by a locomotive made by
Norris, in Philadelphia.
The Galvanic Telegraph is in use on the London
and Blackwell railway—the cars on which are Work- I
ed with a rope—and when full, a galvanic wire is 1
touched, and successively, rapid as two treks on a
watch is the signal and motion of the cars. The dis
tance is tour miles, and were it lour thousand, I am
assured the signal would be instantaneous and faith
ful. They are laying one. down to Windsor for
state purposes, and it is expected they will be in use
all over England.' Do we not live in an ago of ne e
cromancy, and are not the men of science the only
pure and lawful aristocracy of human nature.
The Bade Light is a beautiful thing in its way.
ft produces an atmosphere of light, concealing the
means by which it is done. Passing by the kfoise
Guards, I exclaimed—. How brightly the moon
shines! You can read the clock by it." 0!" re
plied my. friend, as cool as moonshine, that's the
Bude Light." I begged an explanation, and,, ap
parently astonished at my ignorance, he gave it.
Lime and gas are brought into some peculiar con
tact, and the effect, as it struck me,. was that of in
tensely bright moonlight. The Houses of Lords and
Commons are lit in this manner and it is to be intro
duced into the theatres. It is very beautiful—and do
not think me moonstruck" when I tell you that the
chillness and repose of moonshine reminded mm sen
sibly while regarding it, that .Juliet's apostrophe,
Come thou day in night," is now realized. Alas!
for the imaginative race, if matter of fact people upset
every thing in this manner.
The new manufacture fur curtains and other dra
peries is a very gorgeous affair. The rich damask
pattern is woven in glass and silk, producing a daz
zling effect, beyond silver and gold in richness of
I display. ' •
A capita) invention is used for the foundation of
houses) an invention, too, the more valuable on ac
count of its simplicity. The clay that is dug out of
the foiindation is mixed tviih a preparation of lime on
the very ground of the building, and thus hardened
or tt calcined" into a strong substance, makes the best
and certainly the cheapest material for foundations
yet discovered. It is now universally used in Eng
land.
MECHANICS
The transactions of the present wonderful age,
es though guided by the touch of magic influence,
have more than fulfilled the bright vision of fancy.
The solid rock has beer. dissolved, and a high way
established on the mountain's brow, and the earth
has been made to throw up treasures more valuable
than the diamonds of Golconda. The ocean, with
itiz heaving billowe, has became tributary to oante
of man, and the land and the air have combined to
minister to his comfort: •Everywhere we behold
the mighty influence of mind subjecting nature to
its authority, and moulding matter to its, will. On
all sides the active industry of man is employed in
perfecting the monuments of its triumphant skill ;
splendid architecture adorns our cities, convenience
and utilty abound in every thing which can conduct
to happiness. The means of communication I be.
tween distant places has been maqe more easy, and
as a consequence,.more friendly feelings have been
indulged, by those who formerly were encouraged to
regard each other as strangers. The earth strides
under the cultivating hand of the husbandman, and
plenteous crops reward his toil, and chger his heart
with joy,
No nation can lung maintain its dignity when
the arts are not encouraged and fostered with a ,lib
era protection. In the same proportiun as they; are
held in respect, shall we prosper in strength ind'na.
Lions! glory: and when they shall fall into disrepute,
and be thought unworthy the cultivation of a tree
people the stability of our institutions may, well be
doubted. The mighty achievments hourly being
effected in the world, proves how immeasurably el.
evated above the mere profeisional lean is the me.

To Molhers—Children's Food.—A lady of York
shire observes in a letter, that in consequence of
loosing bee first three children, one during teething,
and two of inflamation of the bowels, she gave her
fourth child a little lime-water with every article of
food, adding a desert, and sometimes only; a tea
spoon full of lime-water to every article, whether
liquid.or thick. It succeeded is keeping up healthy
digestion, and a regular stale of the bowels; the
child instead of , being• feVerisb. flatulent, and fretful,
as her preceding children had been, continued cool
and cheerful, free from-any symptom of indigestion,
and cut 'his teeth without — any constitutional distur
bance. iSbe has continued thisi practice with • two
Mole' children with the itoMe good effects. We have
known this simple additioci to the food of children
prove very efficacious in incipient cases of rickets
and of irritable bow'els, attended with lOoseneds, &c.
but if the Child be disposed, to caltiveness on account
of its astringent quality, a little u.agnesia should be
occasionally added to it.
Railways in England.—The following results of
calculations made on the subject of railways in
England, will be found interesting :—Opened;find
to be opened within the year 1840, 1,260 miles, to
be opened within the year 1841, 160 miles; to be
opened. subsequently, 330 miles; total for which
ode have heen•obtained, 1,756 ; of which the shares
are now at a premium, 783, miles; at a discount, not
exceeding 20 per cent. on the amount of share, 514;
total, 1,758 miles. Of the share capital for the above;
there is now uncalled for 7,028,0001., of which there
are estimated to be called for by the end of ' 1841
about one-half. Of railways entirely opened eteeed
ing 20 miles iniength, there are still at a digcount
120 miles.—Railway
Inundation of a Colliery.--It is our painful duty
to announce one of those fatal colliery accidents
which are so prevalent in this dtstrict, from the sod
den breaking in of water into a mine, by which five
men have unfortunately lost their lives. The I pit is
situated near Ravensworth Vale, is called the Farn
acres Colliery, and has newly commenced working,
and belongs to Messrs. .1. Smith, & Co. On Friday
'morning, the 23d inst. a little before ono o'clock, the
bankeman heard a noise, somewhat resembling thun
der, and in a little time he discovered that the , pit
was 'completely 'inundated with ,water, there being
upwards of 16 fathoms in the shaft, and in a few
boors more it overflowed. the top of it, where it has
continued without any decrease up to the period
(Thursday afternoon,) when our reports lett. , The
depth of the pit is twenty-one fathoms, and although
an engine of forty horse power has been applied to
endeavor to pump the water out, it has hitherto
proved unavailing; and they are now making some
alterations in her stroke, to increase her power, when
she will be enabled to pump 740 gallons in umla
ute, instead of 244. which addition, It is hoped, will
prove effectual in clearing the,pit, or at least in lead
ing to the recovery of the bodies of the tinfortinate
sufferers. Nothiug certain es yet has been ascer
tained. to show where the water camefrom. brifrons
the sudden manner in which the pit was filled,' it is

the inns, 'and most of the lodgings in the town were
also occupied. Wednesday morning wasushered
in VI discharge of cannon, announcing the com-
mentement of this great national meeting. Frbm an
early tour carriages were continually 'aniving; and
by ten o'clock the' town was quite full. At eleven
o'clock•the 'prcicesaion formed end pioeeeded to the
Sititty, about a mile out of the town, where it was
met by the Prisident; John` Rolls, Esq., of the Ren
dre; and his ftiends who were loudly cheered. • An
address was then read to the president in Welsh end
English, to which be replied in a long and able ad-
dress, in which' he pointed qut, the benefits which at
tended the cymreigyddion, and dwelt upon the an
nual increase of members, and money distributed,
and the gratifying prospects of the Society.., The
Rev. Mr. Price and Sir B. Hall, severally addressed
this - meeting at some length, and various prizes were
distFibuted. The Bishop of St. was then
addressed in Vtielsh . by Jeuan - ab Grtiffydd, the Sec
retary of the Cymreigyddion Society, and. his lord

On the Thursday evening a grand full.dresv bail
took place at the Angel Inn, Abergavenny, to close
the festivities of the bardic session, at which were
present nearly 200 ladies and gentle Men. Indeed,
the whole affair went off with great eclat, and the,
Bishop of St. David's remarked, that he had,never
etijoyed two niore delightful days than those passed
at the Cambrian festival.

Some excitment has existed in the Forest of Dean
during the last week in consequence of the myste
rious disappearance of a young woman from the
parish of Bream. As there was reasons for suppo
sing that she had been murdered, a vigorous searcii
was made and the coal pits in the vicinity dragged.
After being away six days she, however, returned.
It appeased that she had been secreted by some of her
friends, in order to frighten a men by whom the girl
was enciente. The man, who feared that he should
be apprehended as a murderer, absconded.—Beacon.
Newport, itanmouth,) Oct. 27.-1 beg to in•
form you that a Chartist meeting took place here
last night, by two delegates from Bath. It caused
great excitement here; about five or six hundred
personslissembled in Victoria-square, near the West
gate Hotel; the meeting dissolved very peaceably:
Special Constables were sworn.. Sir Thomas Phil-
lips and other magistrates sat here the greater part
of the night. Phelp and the other delegate leave
this place to.day for the surrounding hills, Panty
pont, Aberaychan, &c. I believe it is their intention
to agitate as much as ever.
Real and Pseudo Charity.--dhe following letter
appears in the Sun :
Sir,—May I beg to call your attention to the
paragraph in the Cambrian of Saturday lust, headed
Immense Payment of Wages.; I know the sub
stance of it to be true, namely, that Sir John Guest,
the Liberal M.P., pays 24,0001. per month in wages.
It is also a fact that Sir John Citiest has lately given
501. for 'a methodist chapel at Dowlais Iron Works,
A few yeitre ago he-built a market-house, a church,
pays the minister, and has endowed the budding : he
has also erected a very large Sunday and day school
Only contrast tbii; with Mr. Joseph Bailey, M.
for Worcester, and his son for Sudbury (both Tories).
They are getting as much by the Nant-y-Glo and
Beaufort Iron Works as Sir John is by the Dow lois,
but yet no church, market-place, or school, has been
erected at Nant-y-Glo or Beaufort. For want of re
ligious and moral instruction, the workmen about
the Monmouthshire iron works and collieries are in
a state of discontent and chartism, although they have
fuU work, and are well paid. say from 14a to 50s,
per week: Then look at the contrast about Ross,
where the people are better educated ; they earn little,
but are happy and contented. It is worthy of remark
that none of the Newport rioters were from. Sir John
Guest's works. - T. L."

Chartist Leader.—Wright Beatty, whose name is
so well known as being one of the leaders of the late
Chartist insurrection in this town, pleaded guilty to
an indictment charging him with the offencessof se
dition, conspiracy, add riot.
The Chairman, in passing sentence, observed that
the form of the indictment alone prevented him from
ordering the 'punishment of • transportation. • It was
