She had her thousand winning way', And mingled youthful innocence With all bar tasks and plays. • How softly beamed her happy smile, Which played'around the sweetest mouth That ever fashioned infant words; The sunshine of the South, Mellowed and soft, was in her eye, And brightened through 'her golden hair ; And all,that lived add loved, I ween, Did,her affection share. 'With'reverent voice she breathed her prafer, • With gentlest trines she song her hyrne ; Arid when she talked of heaven, our eyes • With tears ofjonwere dim. , Yet inner selfish grlef we wept When last her lip upon 111. smiled: Oh! could we, when our Father called, Detain thehappy child 1 Our home is poor, and cold our clime, ' And misery mingles with our mirth ; 'Twas meet our Bessie should depart • From such a weary earth: Oh! she is safe—no cloud can dim The brightness of her ransomed soul; Nor trials vex,,nor tempter lure • . Her spirit from its goal.' We wraps her in her spow-white shroud, Anti crossed, with sadly tender care, Her little hands upon her breast, And smoothed tier sunny hair. .

Haw the .Yankees make a. Liring.—i writer in the! Boston Retarder, who has lately travelled through Connecticut, thus describes the, way in which the people gain a livelihood : Beginning in the north-western pah of the. Statc-:-where, by the a ay,.some of nature's true 'noblemen dwell—we find many furnaces smelting down iron ore of the best quality, from their own , mines, making each from two to three tons of pig iron per diem, and each consuming at a single blast of eleven months a million bushels of char- coal. There is a, shop manufacturing some of the most delicate and best cutlery anti another making huge anchors and chain cables • fur our navy. from iron wrought at their own puddling fur naces. Fifteen miles eastward lies a village of 1500, people, Situated at the outlet of a splendid sheet of water, which,:in its descent of 150 feet, - carries all needed machinery. Here the fondness is scythe makit. Another town is famous for its brass kettles; an article made nowhere else in the nation : and i. tre trade of tasking which , it is said, was stolen fr rn England. Hard by are two con tiguous towns, made densly populous even on the rugged WI-sides, and, independently rich hy the manufacture 'of brass clocks. These articles Of the ordinary kind, costing frorn nine shillings to two dollars, are sold over the world at an advance of 500 or 1,000 per cent. Coming farther eastward into Hanlford counlyi„ you find a gang of hands digging copper ore fronri the bowels of mother earth. Then you enter a town of 1000 people, supported entirely by making axes. Following the Farmington river, and pausing many establishments, you alight at a town of 1500 inhabitants, right in the gorge, where the river in its dashing freaks, bite a lover without eyes, instead of making its ,way easily • and honestly down t.) New Haven, breaks its way , through the Talcutt 'mountain fur the purpose of making a union with the Connecticut. These people are Secitehmen, making carpet.. But ibis is only a part of the establishment ; the remainder • 'is located ten or fifteen miles northeast, where is found a community, of 1800, from tbe.earne coun try, and engaged in like business. Observe, here, in tbise , two towns, are three very old-fasbioned Presbyterian churches. - Pass ing by a community onkers, r who supply the land with f - bli garden seeds and brooms; and Hazard's well known povider where the "villainous salt petre " is made into an abomination to cast nth" silos at the Mexicans, and also some distilleries, too detestable to blot paper with. you 'enter a growing town where are made paper, cloth of different kinds, iron ware and card teeth ; the lain set to order, and in quantities sufficient to strength en all the fibre, which ever grew on a sheep's back, or a cotton plantation. . , Passifig through the city of Hartford', which our bird's-eye view seems to make only a mart for trafficking .in the workmanship of other and honest bands, you find a town of 3000 inhabi tants, manufacturing various sorts of brass ware, to mention which kinds would be to write half the names of articles of a hardware shop. Hooks and eyes must he particularized, enough to hook together all the ladies' dresses in the land, beside those of one half Queen Victoria's subjects. But to return over the Connecticut river, for in our rapid flight we have already crossed it twice, and in making our way into l'olland county, we entered the region of cotton and woollen. And 'here at the outlet of a beautiful lake, rendered memorable by the .., Life; of poor Sarah," who died on its banks, you mur stop to see a village of 1200 people, groWn up in the course of a 'dot'. en years, having some sit or eight mills. making satinets end the nicest cassimere in the country. In other, sections of the county are furnaces, cot ton and woollen mills, maphine shops. Here, too, is a town, and it is our own dear o Mantua," with Oar or fi t re silk factories, where the great pail of our tail° a . obtin their Italian sewing silk and twist. H re the screw augur was nventedt. But time wil fail to speak of all: by, in Windham county. is populstion of 1800, waking cotton cloth. In ttio eas t ern part of the county, in the valley d 'a single ram, in the apace of twenty miles, are at least twelve cot ton factory villages. In New London cfranty is manufactured India rubber Inca variety of forms. In Norwich wool len and cotton mills abound. ' And here • ontrein gie Pinter mill, the owner informed me, made $265,000 worth of paper per annum. New Lon don and Stonington are growing licit out of the whale fishery.

This was previous to Oliver Evans' experiments with steam in Philadelphia.—Ed. Journal. Lift Below 'IN Oinface! Condition. of the Miners of Idrio.—The Harbinger translates tram the ti l 'eaer-Zeitang, published at Bremen, an interesting account of a 'visit to *e quick silver Mines of Idr'ta. We copy from it as follows The entrance to the mines Is in the centre of . the town, is hevin in the rocks, and is two hundred and sixteen feet in length; when this - is passed you descend the appar. ently bottomless abyss. • The entire , depth is eight hundred 'and sixteen feet ; there ere nine hundred stone steps and a few hundred 1 ladder-rounds which lead to it; two hundred and seventy per sons labor there By day, and by night about one hundred ; in-the whole establishment six hundred and forty workmen are employed. The total pro duct annually is 4,000 cwt . : of pure quick silver, 1,000 of which are used in the manufacture of vermillion, an establishment for which is also in Idris. Formerly `the yield of the mines was II greater, but then the price was much lower than now ; the product has been decreased, with the express design of raising the price to its present high rate. It is now 200 guildere, delivered free of charge in Trieste. • I The smelting is kept up during the six whiter months ; in the summer it is suspended, as in the warm season it produces diseasi's through the whole place among both men and animals. The ore which is excavated yields fro rri one-half to 80 per cent. of pure quicksilver, The common yield in other mines 1, ,about 20 per cent. After the pure quicksilver has been :taken from the furnace, it is washed, flOiiiikt into bottles of double sheepskin, containing tisually abciut forty pounds each, and two such bottles are put in one n kker flaSk. For several years a great deal of miler has con • stonily made-its way into the mines; a steam en gine is kept at.work day and night,purnping it out. It must be said the pay of the laborers in this mine, which yearly brings into the Austrian Trots. sury above half a million of guilders net profit, is very low, considered as ordinary day wages, with out regarding the grave circumstance that in the very first year they take in the causes of chronic diseases, which never afterward leave them, and for the rest of their shortened lives keep them in an ernocieteeand unhappy condition., The great er part die between thirty and fOrtyl and only a few reach the latter age. It sounds bite irony, that those who (mildly. forty years in this service of the State are pensioned with full wages. Al though, alter what has been said, no one would suppose the attainment of this reward to be with- in the bounds of possibility, yet the human con stitution has gained the victory !even over these poisonous influences. There are three workmen who have lived nut their. fortf„!year's service:— The writer of this made the acquaintance of one of them, but what an existence; and what a re ward fur forty years of such labor! The duration of th'e daily lablir in the mines, is fixed at eight hours, beside a 'Ong half hour ern pinyed in descending and ascending. The so called carriages which are drewnlup and let down by a machine in the shafts are inert only in ton .l/eying tolls, ore, and the overseers. The wages of the laborers is divided into three classes, end amounts from 8 to 17 kreutztr, (4 to 83 cents,).a day. Be-i le this what vegetables and grain- they want, aro . suppied to them at a moderate fixed price, which in years of scarcity of fete an - advantage. . The third class at 8 kreutzer, is the must numerous; and th i e first, at 17, the least so, as it contains only onehundred laborers. What a- contrast between- the earnings of these people, and the large incomes !of many wealthy men, and what a standard at earnings and desert I in the one case and the other. Might we but bring hither-those who with splendid 'means of support do not even fulfil, the easy duties -which in their position are due to the state and their fellow citi zens! '• During .the. time of szneltingl i the' furnaCes are cleaned...a - ice a week. It takes a single work man a whole night to clean a firrnace, and for this he actives four to five guilders, ($2 to $2 50). From this high pay, in compaiison with 8 to VI kreutzer, , (4 to 8i cents) for eight hours labor in shafts, we can judge the nature of the work and its consequences. Generally in a few days after the cleaning of a furnace, symptoms appear which give to Idle already weakened sparks of life another and an incurable blow. Nevertheless there are always' volunteers for the work, generally such as are incited grit by great poverty of by debts. 1 was surprised to hear that notwithstanding the small pay for the ordinary: but most toilsome labor, (the pits are so low that no one can stand erect in them, and the air so snlinr thotthose who are not accustomed to it canna bear it long.) and with the prospect of inevir:;nle)ilis-ave and untime• ly death there'are not only laborers enough, but that a large number always have their names en rolled, and await the departut,e of others, in order to take their places. TO marry is only permittid to laborers of the first elasso,.a permission which is. almost always made use of. The brides nodally bring with them a. bit of land end a few cows 55 a dowry, which . ' contributes to the support of f i the family,. as the 17- 1 kreutzer alone are of coursenot su ffi cient. They , live chie fl y on a milk me!, as this is both this' cheapest end Most wholesome against the influence of the quicksilver. The emaciation of the fathers does not seem to be inheriteit -by the children; at least I saw among them no yery ill looking ones. The women have alsoa' very, healthy appearance, besides being quite handsome. But the workmen on the other hand, all look very ill, antlican he told from other men at the first glance. Their cheeks are all fallen in, theirtpuilgeiion sickly and yellow, and sometimes a yellow.green, their gaitiottering, and their bands tremble “rom this they heeqe mow. arr. ..‘ quint- promt,ormitim .4r7';:4 MINERS' JOURNAL BOOK AND JOB PRINTING OFFICE.

Miss Martineau very justly observes that the most essential thing' for a timid infant is to have an unfailing refuge in its mother. , It May •seem un necessary to say this.. - .lt may. appear impossible thit a mother's tanderrieSs should ever fell tovverds a helpless little creature who has nothing but that tenderness to, look to; but alas! it is not so. _I know a lady who is considered very sweet temper ed, and who usually is so—kind and hospitable, and fond of her children: - • Her in(aot under six months aa was lying on her a r m one day when the des.A was on the table, and the child was eager after the bright glasses and spoons,, and more restless - than convenient. After several attempts to make it lie 'valet; the mother slapped it—slapped it hardi Thitimas emotion of disappointed .vanity, troth vexation that the child was not good before visitere. If such a thing could happen, niay s w i e not fear that other mothers may fail in tenderness—in the mid-i die of thO.friight—for instance—after a toilsome day, when,!kept. awake by the child's restlessness, or amidst' the hurry • and turmoil of the day, when business presses, and.the little creature wilt , not take its sleep I 'Little do such mothers know ' the fatal misehi4 they do by impairing their child's security with them. If they did, they would un-, dergo anything before they would let a harsh vvotd or a sharp tone escape them. or indulge in a severe . look or hasty movement. A child's heart responds 'to the tones of its mother's voice, like a harp.to the'the wine. ; and its only hope for peace' ant courage is in hearing nothing but ,gentleness, from her. • and experiencing 'nothing but unre mitting love. whatever may; bo its troubles else where. A Jere 's ',pinion of the Saviour.—Mr. Noah, of New York, himself a Jew by prefers sion, has expressed the following opinions of Jesus, the true , Messiah,-which will, be new to many of our readers, -and contain some sentiments not un worthy an avowed profe ss or of the Chiistian ult has. been said, and with soma com mendations on what - Was called my liberality,,— that I did nut . in this discourse term • Jesus' . of Nazareth an impostor. I have never considered him as such. The impostor generally aims at tertiporal power,—attempts to subsidize the rich' and weak believer, and draw around him follow• ars- of influence whom he can control. Jesus was free from fanaticism; his was a quiet, sub. &red, retiring faith; 'he mingled Vth the poor, communed _with the wretched, avoided the rich and rebuked the vain glorious. fa the calm of evening he sought -shelter in the secluded groves of Olivet, or wandered pensively on'the shores or Galilee. He sincerely, believed in his mission. courted no one, flattered no one ; in his political denhnciations he was pointed and severe=in fats< religion calm and subdued.
