are actuated by a desire of attracting att n e ce n ' s
• tion to the Hats, of their manufacture, as a
- means of increasing their cash sales. The smallness
11, of their profit, owing to the fact that their goods are
much more costly and expensive while their prices are
not higher than the ordinariprices of the trade, makes
it imperative that they decline the risks incidental to a
credit business. Were they to follow to the "beaten
track.' - 41ming merely at a reduction in price,, a cm,
responding deterioration both in quality and workman
ship,entuing as a matter of course, there would then
be no urgent reason for adopting terms strictly cash:
Their course is opposite to this.
, Excelsior is the motto which they have assumed,
by it they arc constrained to advance still higher in
the productioa of rich and costly goods. The grebt
encouragement they have met ith in their business—
the decided Preference given o their Hats, both by
the fashionable and fastidious, as well as by the strict
isconomfiri; and others of plalher taste, has con6rmed
F;" - 4- them in their determination of producing the very
best goods in their line of -trade, on this continent.
Wm.- 11. 11. & 'Co. Would here take occasion to say
that they are indebted for the reputation of (heir house,
and for the celebrity of their Hats, to no equivocal
dealings, nor fictitious representations. The principle
in business has always been to give to the purchaser a
greater proportion of value for value, than could pot
' laibly be found elsewhere at the same prices. They
• have expended vast semi of money, in perfecting their
business, in securing the beet talent among workmen,
lac the erection and application.ot Machinery, and in
having prepared for their especial use the richest ,
- ; ,,-;.lsad trimmings of Paris; by these means alone they
;i4FhaVe presented to the public a perfection to the fabric of
Hats, and to the trade, models in Fashion.
Was. If. It. lc Co. would state that their prices at re
are standard at *land $5. Their wholesale prices
..elltre such as to 'enable dealers to realize 'a fair profit,
to carry home to their customers, if they feel ills-
posed, Hats sot gotten up erpressly for the country trade.
.W.llsut Hats which are justly considered by those familiar
the manufacture of W. 11. Q. & Co. as the plus
of gentility, taste and exquisite workminenip,

TICE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
• 4 3 , Rev. JOIRCB GiMona Lyons, Li,. D..
There la a magnetic neatness, so to speak, throughotit
the following lines. The wires which feimnect the
visible of nature with the visible of man's heart, are
here touched most skilliblly. We do not know Ulm
present time of a more delicate composition to rhyme,
always excepting Alfred Tennyson, who Is a male
faery among poets:
Along the smooth and .lender wire,
The sleepless heralds run,
Fast as the clear and living rays
Co streaming from the sun;
No peals or flashes heard or seen
Their wondrous Bight betray,
And yet their words are plainly felt,
In cities faraway.
I •
No summer's heat, nor winters hail,
Can check their rapid coon,:
They meet unmoved the fierce wind's rate— The rough wave's sweeping force
In the long night of rain and wrath,
As in the close of day,
They rush, whir news of weal or wo,
To thousands far away., .
But:taster still than tidings borne
On that electric cord,
Rice the pure thoughts of bier who loves
The Christian's life and Lord—
Of him who. taught in smiles and tears,
with fervent lips ter pray,
'Maintains hiah convene bare on earth
With bright worlds far away.
Ail though nor orttWani with la breathed,
Nor outward answer given,
The sighing of that bumble heart
is known and felt in heaven :
Those long frail wires may bend and break,
Those vie*less heralds stray,
But Faith's lea et word shall reach the throne
Of God, though far away.
"THY NAME !" •
It tomes to me when health, go round.
And o'er the wine their garlands , wreathing
The !lowers of wit with music wound
Arp freely from t he"goblet breathing:
Prom sparkling song and sally gay
It comes 0, steal the heart away,
And fill my soul, 'mid festal glee,
With sad, sweet, silent thoughts of thee.
It comes to nie upon the mart
Where Care in jostling crowds is rife; -
Where-Avarice goads the sordid heart,
Or cold Ambition prompts the strife :
It tomes to whisper it I'm there,
'Tis but with thee each prize to share,
For Fame were not success to me,
Nor riches wealth, unshared with thee.
It tomes to me when smiles are.bright
On gentle lips that murmur round me,
And kindling glances dash delight
In eyes whose spell world once have bound me
Ir.comes—but comes to bring alone,
Remembrance of some look or tone,
Dearer than ought I hear or see.
Because 'iwas worn or biealhed by thee.
It comes to me where cloistered boughs
Their shadows cast upon the sod;
Awhile in Natures fans my vows
• Are lifted from her face to Cod;'
It comes to tell that all of worth
I dream in Deaveri or know on Earth,
However bright or dear it be,
Is blended with my thought of thee.

When it shall flood the world with deep exulting force.

-And some shall clothe their thoughts in mystic speech,

PROPOSAI,S.-4' Sketch for Bachelors.
—lt will be deemed vanity at my age to say that
at twenty-five, I was possessed of a full share of
the ordinary personal charms of youth. Within
a little of the ebesterfieldian standard of height,
five feet ten, with locks black eMI glossy as the
raven's wing. (alas, the driven snow is not whiter

and education for all the practical purposes of life.
it may he thought that my experience in matters
of the heart ought to have proved an exception.to
the rule, te that the course of true love never did
run smooth." But, alas not so! Itwas my for
tune to become acquainted with a young lady pos
sessed of so many charm:, mental, morel. and per
sonal, and so supereminent in each, that it was
indeed impossible for me io avoid falling, as I did,
desperately in love with her.
As fat as glances of the eye, tremors of the voice,
and occasional inuendoes might go, I doubt not
that I succeeded full well in imparting to her's
knowledge of the state'of my heart ; arid I will not
presume upon your patience so much as to detail
the erstacy of joy with which I first discovered,
through similar media, a reciprocity,offeeling on
the part of the young lady.. Let it euffice to say
that this was the cast, and that the time came
when it was incumbent on me to make a distinct
avowal of ,tny love. This, alter long and. per.
plexing mental debate, I resolved to do by letter;
and after writing some forty, epistles on as many
sheets of gilded paper, I finally succeeded in form
ing a letter, amounting to about six lines. contain

everything that could or ought to be said on the

but slight recollection. That it abounded with
terms expressive of pure, warm, ardent, glowing,
undying, eveilisting and unprecedented affection,
I have not the least doubt. But unfortunately,.
this littler specimen of epistolary excellence was
scarcely finished, when, chancing to peruse some
of dhe experiences of a predecessor in the paths or
love, I read that nothing was more unwise or dan
gerous than making an offer of one's band and
heart by means of pan and paper.
With the credutitt of a simple mind, I et once

Again, we find him accused of treason—aye,
accused, but acquitted. He crosses over to France,
remains there in exile some time, even reduced to

his string. The blind cripple, with his star bo.

MEMORY AS AFFECTED BY .DISEASE.—
It ii stated in several papers that Mr. Hotchkiss,
of Brooklyn, who was waylaid by robbers and
almost killed some months ago, is entirely recov.
erect' in his physical health, but his mind seems
much- shattered. He seems to have . forgotten
everything ha 'learned during his life;.and is now
learning his letters again, as if he were i child.
The sounds of his voice, constitute his p;incipal
source of amusement. This is or.e,of the many
striking instances of disordered 'memory. Dr.
"Beagle related the case . of a gentleman who, in
consequence of a violent blow cos the head, lost
his knowledge, of Greek, but did not appear to
have lost anything else. Dr. Abercrombie also
relates an instance not less remarkable, of a lady
who, in eonrequence of protracted Blom lost the
recollection of a period of about :ten or twelve
years, but spoke with perfeetsoctsisteney of things
as they stood beforsi that time.
A cue very rimilarto that related by Dr. Beat

On recovering Abe use of his faculties bps memory
wee found to be so much impaired that he had
forgotten all his knowledge of Latin, rendering it
necessary to commence anew the elements. •of the
language.
In other cases disease', termer, causes a quick
ened mental action. t Flint, in his Recollections of
the Valley or the Mississippi, saYs that during
the. paroxysms of derangement occasioned by a
violent fever, his memory was more than ordinarily
exact and retentive, and that be repeated Whole
passages in the different languages which he knew
with entire accuracy. ...I recited," says he, - "with
out losing or misplacing a word. a passage of
poetry which I could not so repeat after I had re
covered my health." The poser of reminiscence
may indeed slumber through disuse or other
causes, but never dies.

Love al fire aight.—Thero is not a
greater fallacy in life than that of a_young lady
believing herself in love at firatiiiht.. Ask her I
.two years ifterwards what sbeithinks of her pas
sion? We may be prepossessed in an in`dividu
ars favor, but real, lasting love is of slow growth,
and it can bo nourished only by the virtues of the
one preferred. Everything else that goes by the
name of clove" is false, and will tomato a saitend.
Woman's Influenee.—How few''the
women who are dispored to turn to goad account
the.Mfluence they may acquire over men ! In
deed, most women 'are incapable of doing ao.
Furnished by nature With no sympathies 4 - or
men's higher aspirations, they reluct at purposes
they ccrniot comprehend, andi_whosc pursuit com
petes with their affection ; and thug, as the,brace
lets of the Sabines clew Taipei', the love that
should have adorned, crushes him. Then ,of the
few who natumily• respond to man's loftier aims,
most are too timid to encourage them. They con
ceive their soft dominion is put in jeopardy by the
admisions to his heart ofAuch formidable com
petitors as ambition, general benevolence, or the
like. They do not understand that lofty desires
and a life of earnest action are the best allies of
love. ' As the heart becomes nobler, its love
becomes nobler also; deeply and truly it cannot
lore unless it aspires too. Thus most women fail
ot their mission. They regard the love they
waken as an end; they look upon it as a means
to make a man smolder being. They' were cent
to make us not so much lovers as heroes; and
come such there are, of that rare order to which
belonged L ady Elizabeth. Hastings, of whom
Congrave said that 'to love her was a liberal

altip.l've heard folks say that the winimin was
contrary. Well, they is a leetleso: but if you
menage= right—haul in here, and let 'em out
there, you can drive 'ern along without whip or
spur. jest which way you "want 'em to go.
When I lived down at Elton, there was a good
many feat rate gals down there, but ! didn't take a
likio'to any on 'em Squire Cummins cum down
them to live. The Sqtyire had a mighty putty
dada.. I sad some of the gals was fast rate, but
Nancy Cummins was fast rate and a leak more.
There Was
,many dressed finer and bolted grander,
but there was something jam about Nance, that
they couldn't hold a candle to. If a fellow rmed
her .bnce, he couldn't look at annther gal for a
week. I tuk a likin' to her rite off, and wo got
as thick ea thieves. We had mud tmgow to the
same memin", and set in the same pew. It took
me to find sums and biers for her ; and we'd swell
'em out in a manner shOckin' to hardened !Angers ;
and then we'd mosey hum together, while the gait;
and fellers kept n lookin" on, as though they'd like
to mix in. I'd always stay to supper ; and the
way she could make injun cakes, end the way I
wood click 'em over with mediums and 'put
away, was nothin' to nobody. She was dreadful
ci‘il. tew, always gettin' somettlin' nice for me.
I was up to the hub in love, and was goin' in for
it like a locomotive. Well, things went on in this
wiry for a spetl,lill she tilt:4l'6e had me tight enough:
Then she began to show off kinder independent
like. hi hen I'd go to meetin', there was no room
in the pew, when she'd cum and she'd streeke oil
with another chap, end leave me euckin' my fin
gers at the door. Instead of atickin' to me es she
used to do, she got cuttin' around with all the other
fellers, jest as if she cared main' about me no more
—none whatever.
I got considerably riled, and thought I mite as
well cum to the end nn it at sermst ; so down I
went to have it. out with bee; there was a hull
pistol fellers there. They seemed mity quiet
till I went in; .then she got talkin' all manner of
nonsense—red nothin' to me, and darned little of
that. I tried to keep my, dander down, but it
warn% any use—l kept twin' about as if I had
a pin in my irowsers, I and sweat as if I had been
threshin'. :My collar hung dnwc as if it had been
hung over my stock to dry., ' I couldn't stand it;
so I cleared nut as quirk as I cool; for I seed
'twas no use to say nothin' to her. I went strata
to bed, and thought the matter over a Spell—
thinks 1, that gal is jest tryin' of me: %sin% no
use of our playin' possum: I'll take the kink out
of her; if I don't fetch her out of 'that high grass,
use me for massage meat..

to go to see her; he was a clever feller.but he was

Kept coy eye on Nonce, seed how the cat was
jumphe ; she didn't cut about like she did, and
looked rather solemnly ; she'd gi'n her tew eyes
to kits and make up. I kept it up till I like to
have got in a Ellen about Patience. The critter
thought I was goinF after her fia good, anti gut as,
,proud as a tame tur k ey. •
One day Ephe cam down to our place, lookin'
'at rathy as a English) , omeer. on a trainin' day.
Look here," Ses be, " Seth Stokes," as loud
as a email thunder clap, I'll be darned—" •
Hallo!" see I, " what's broke '!"
Why," sea he, " I camp down to haves eatin
faction about Patience Dodge ; Here I've been
cortin' her ever since last year ; and she was jest
as good as mine, till you cum a goin' later her.
and now I can't touch her with si forty foot pole."
• Why," sea I, "what on earth are yon talkin'
shout? I ain't got rinthin' to do with your gal;
but s'peie I had, there's nothin' for you to git
;molly about. If the gal has taken n likin' to me,
'(ain't my fault; if I've taken a likin' to her, %ain't
her fault; and if we've taken a likin' to one an ,
other, 'tain!t your fault; but I •ain't so almighty
taken with her, and you may git her for all me ;
so you hadn't ought to git savage about nothin'."
't" Well," sea he, (rather cooled down,) "I em
the unluckiest thing in creation. I went t'other
day to a place where there was an old woman died
of the hots or some .such disease; and "they •rree
sellin' out tar things. Well,lhere was a thunder

so I boughrit and thought I had made a spec; but
when I cum to look at 'em, there wasn't nothin;
in it wroth a cent, except an old silver thimble,
end that was all rusted up—so I sold it for less
than I gave for it. Well, when the chap that
bought it took it hum, he heard somethio' rattle—
broke tbe•old chat, and found lota of gold in it, in
a false bottom I hadn't, seen. ' Now if I had tuk
the eitt hum, I'd never found that money. nor if
I did they'd bin all counterfeit anil'l'd btu tuk up

about it, when she rite up and called me a darned

That tickled him, it did, : end away hp went, a

=The presence of the sun is undoubtedly one
of. the principal sourcos of heat, as its obeince is
of cold ; but if those affections of the atmosphere
depended solely on the two causes,an equal tem
perature would at the same seasons, prevail in all.
places situated under the same parallels. This
however is far from being the case ; for the tempe •
rature of the eastern coast of America is far colder
than that of the western shores of Europe, in the'
same latitudes; and the some observationi may
with some degree of variation, be extended to they
whale of these two continents.
It is equally observable, that the trophies) heats
of Africa are far greater than those of •the West,
India Islamic, and some . other parts of America,
situated in iffetarlrigne ; and indeed, art abun
dance of proofs might be adduced to show that
the temperature of the air in different countries
depends on a. variety of circumstances besides
geographical psition.
One Omit source of heat exists'in the earth ;
but whether this arises from any central fire, or
from eleMentary beat diffused through the whole
mass, it a problem of no easy solution. The
warmth which the earth imparts to the atmosplfene,
lauds greatly to moderate the cold; and it has by
various observations, been found that the same
degree of heat exists in all its sulderraneous situa
tions at the same depth, or at least, that the varia
tions ire extremely small. The condensation of
vapor also is another cause of heal, of which It is
well known that vapor contains a great quantity.
This condensation is often formed hyr the attract ,
lion Of en electrical cloud, and hence arisen
that sultry heat whiCh in summer- is often fell
before, rain,, and particularly before a thunder
storm.
As the earth is the source of heat, distance
from tLe earth must consequently be a cause of
cold ; and in confirmation. of This theory, it is in
variably found that cold increases in proportion
to our elevation in the atmosphere. !fence we
find even in the equator, mountains of a certain
height have their,tops covered with snow. An
elevation of 500 yards produces the same ef
fect as a distance j 5,000 miles from the equator.
Accordingly at an elevation of 13,000 fret we find
the frosts of the frozen zone; and at 15 and
16,000 feet, the mountains, based upon tle most ,
al:torching plains, are capped with perpettail snow
and ice..
. The heat of the atmosphere is further augment
! ed by the accumulation of the sun's rays at the
surface of the earth. The rays then reflected ihro
the air and to surrounding objects, so that. the
I reflected heat is often greater than the direct heat
~Of the sun. On this account the heat in valleys,.
where the heat is reflected by hills and mountains,
is sunartimes very great. In an elevated valley
in switmland, the heat is so much increased by
reflection that in the centre there is a spot of per
petual verdure, in the midst of perpetual snow
and glaciers; and there are plains or. the Him
match mountains, 15,000 feet above the level
of the sea, which produce fine pasturage; and
at the height of 'll,OOO feet, which is above the
region' of perpetual snows on the Andes, in
the eama latitude, barley
. and wheat aro known
to flourish.
" From these and vatiolta other considerations, it
is evident that some pelts of the globe are, from,
the nature of .the soil, Aid other topographiLel
