Ile was the son of n stone mason and tiler, and was One of n family of ten children, .all of whom were laboring men and women in the humblest walks of life. James had married the daughter of a farmer and was a member ofa peculiar religious sect called Sandemanian, after its founder, and was a thoroughly religious man. Ile had four children, Elizabeth, Robert, Michael, and Margaret. Michael was born in 1791, and when a little boy used to tend his baby sister in the stable yard, and sometimes was able to earn a penny by holding a horse or running an errand. When he got to be big enough to be trusted with parcels be was regularly in stalled as a newspaper boy, and on Sunday hurried through with his business so as to be at home in time " to make himself neat and to go to church with his parents." Robert chose the father's profession and was appren ticed to a blacksmith. He appears to diave been a generous man, as lie used occasionally to give his brother Michael money to go to chemical lectures or to buy apparatus for ex periments; but we soon lose all track of him, and his fame never went beyond the sound of his anvil. We are not told why Michael was appren lived ton book-binder rather than to some other mechanic, but can infer that he read the papers he carried and showed an early fondness for books, so that his father placed hint at a trade where he could earn something and yet have 1111 opportunity to read. The boOkbinder and stationer with whom Farad 4 learned his trade was a kind master and evi dently pleased with the fidelity and industry of his apprentice. We find that Faraday, while binding books, took occasion to look at their contents, and among other works that fell into his hands was one by Mrs. Marcel, on chemistry. He had a great fancy for proving the accuracy of all the statements ia the book by simple ex periments, and spent all the pennies lie could spare in procuring the necessary apparatus. Au article on electricity, in the " Encyclope dia Brittanica," particularly attracted his no tice, and he set about to construct an electrical machine. Ills master was so much pleased with the success of this ellbrt that he showed the apparatus to a member of the Royal Insti• tution, who came to the shop to have sonic work done. This gentleman had some con versation With the apprentice, and finding him uncommonly bright and intelligent, invited him to go to hear Sir Ilumphry Davy lecture at the Royal Institution. This was IL treat of the utmost importance to the young man. He wrote out full notes of the lecture with such drawings and illustrations as he could make, and afterwards sent them with a letter to Sir 11. Davy. " The reply was im mediate, kind, and favorable ;" and sonic time afterward a grand carriage, with a ser vant in livery, drove to his humble lodgings with, a note, asking him 10 call to see Sir 11. Davy, and offering him the place of assistant, just vacant, at a salary of twenty-live per week, with the use Or two rOOIIIA at the top of the house.' On March 1, 1813, Faraday was regularly appointed by the board of man agers to be Davy's assistant. Ills days of book binding were thus brought to an end, and he became himself the maker of books for other people to bind and to prize most highly. Sir Humphrey Davy in a letter to the mana gers recommending him for the place, wrote that he " had found out a person who is de , sirou's to occupy the situation in the Install ' lion lately filled by William Payne. His name is Michael Faraday, a youth of twenty• two years of age. His habits seem good, his dispAtion active and cheerful, and his man ner intelligent." The youth of twenty-two years had made marvelous use of his time previous to the ap pointment tinder Davy. lie had r2ad every thing he could lay his bands upon, and in a note book wrote down the names of the books and subjects that interested him. This he called "The Philosophical Miscellany—being 'a collection of notices, occurrences, events, etc., related to iii Zak :Old sciences, collected from the public papers, reviews, magazines, and other miscellaneous works, intended to promote both amusement and instruction, and also to corroborate or invalidate those theories which :ire continually starting into the world ol science. Collected by M. Faraday, 1809-10." Fortunately this book has been preserved and can serve as a model for all young men of humble origin and slender means. We, are astonished at the extent and variety of his reading at that early day, as gathered front that collection, and as displayed in a corres pondence with Mr. Abbott, a Quaker clerk. The letters to Abbott, commencing when Far aday was twenty years of age, wer often v cr hose, inflated, and abounding in big words, hut nevertheless display the early training, study, reflection, and itnxiety to learn, of the bookbinder's apprentice. Abbott had been educated at a good school, and hence Faraday looked upon him as greatly his superior. There Is a great temptation to quote from these letters, as they cover a period of Fara• day's life hitherto wholly unknown to the world. In his first letter he gives an account of some galvanic experiments, and of a pile he had constructed out of disks of malleable zinc (a great curiosity in those days), copper chins, "and pieces of paper soaked in a solution of muriate of soda." Ile was surprised to find that with seven pairs of plates ho could de compose the sulphate .of magnesia. In an other letter he has a good deal to say about chlorine, and gives the theory of, bleaching ns maintained by scientific men of the present day. "Pure chlorine has no effect upon veg etable colors; but when water is present it decomposes it, and the oxygen causes the change of color." lie writes to his friend some admirable ideas on the subject of lectures how they should be prepared and how deliv ered, which show the foundation upon which he afterwards built up his fame as the best lee tttfur in England. Here is a choice passage, Written when Faraday was twenty-one years of age.: . . " A lecturer falls deeply beneath the dignity of his character when he descends so low as to angle for claps and asks for commendation. Yet have I seen a lecturer, even at this point. I have heard hint dwell for a length of time on the extreme care and niceness that the experiment he will make requires. I 'have heard him hope for indulgence when no indulgence was wanted, and I have heard him declare that the experiment now made Cannot fail front its beauty, its correctness, and its application, to gain the approbation of all. Yet surely such an error in the character of a lecturer cannot require pointing out, even to those who resort to it ; its impropriety must be evident, and I should perhaps have done well to pass It." In reference to the choice of a friend he writes: "A companion cannot be a good one unless he is morally so ; and however en gaging may be his general habits, and what ever peculiar circumstances may lie connected with him so as to make him desirable, reason and cemmon,sense point him out as an im proper compaction or acquaintance unless his nobler faculties, his intellectual powers, are, , in proportion, as correct as his outward be havior." And lathe same letter he adds: "In every action of our lives, I conceive that reference ought to be had to a Superior Being, and In nothing ought we to oppose or act contrary tQ Ills precepts. We have had a picture of Michael Faraday before lie went to act as an assistant to Sir Humphrey Davy. The son of religious pa rents, himself a thoroughly conscientious man, endowed with good health and indomit able industry, his start in life was such as to inspire his friends with every confidence in his ultimate success. As soon as lie entered the Royal Institution he continued the re searches he had begun with hum Lle means while working as an apprentice, and with such a teacher as Sir Humplir,y Davy, was soon able Jto overcome all detects of early training. Davy and Faraday were two wide ly different characters. The former was also of humble birth and had been aided by .11r. Gilbert, who heard that the "boy was fond of making chemical experiments," and had by his remarkable discovery of the metals of the alkalies, rendered his name famous and had won knightly honors. Ile had beoome Sir Humphrey Davy, and it was not long hefore he gave up further original investigation, and retired to Geneva, in Switzerland, Where lie died in 1:329. Ile was always seeking for honors and eternally lining Mr rank, and. in his early treatment of Faraday displayed un worthy trots of character. For example while traveling on the continent, Ile declined to accept an invitation to dine because Pala. day, his Secretary, was also invited. The host, De la Hive, of Geneva, sent hurl: word, "then I shall lie obliged to give two dinners." And Davy opposed Faraday's election to the Royal Society. But Faraday uttered no word of complaint, and neve r ceased to feel and express gratitude to his early be nelactor. It is proltable that no man or ~ , 00c0.0, . .‘ r lived whose whole we could better serve as It model 111:,11 Faraday's. Although born poor he never coveted riches, but 00 the contrary gave up all rennuterati re occupations in order that lie might devote himself exclusively to scientific research. In humble birth he never sought social distinctions, but declined the offer of knighthood, and utterly refm,ed to ac cept the office of President of the Royal So- ciety which was pressed upon him. The hu mility, simplicity, singleness or purpose, and liveliness or disposition never deserted him even in th e o. Ills prosperity. Ile was ever ready to ludo a beginner, •and seemed never to forget time he ha I been aided at a critical period of his life. Ile wit, indeed a perfect contrast to Sir Humphrey Davy. In 1821 Faraday - was married, and having been appointed superintendent of the house amt laboratory, took his wife to reside In the Royal Institution. Ile never was blest with children, but lived for ffirty.seven years of Pe'llect happiness with the choice °rids youth; the only change being, as he said, " in the depth and strength of its character." When Faraday first went to the !loyal In stitution, he took up the study or chemistry with great zeal, and among other im porter discoveries made by 'dill Was Ihat of benzoic, to which we virtually owe - the whole aniline induStry. Ills researches on the condensation • of gases, ill which he proved them to be the vapors of volatile liquids ; also on regelation, on glass. on steel, on alloys, were among hisi earliest works ; but the crowning giory of his life %vats the publication a hi, Ex i rriment:ii liesearclult qn Electricity," which he com. lammed at the age of forty and continued elur big a tivrind I Aaaity•six The value of these discoveries to the world cannot lie easily overrated. We can trace them into practical life, in the electric light, in magneto. electric machinery, in electro•metallurgy, in the application of electricity to medicine, in telegraphy, and in t h e success sulana• tine cable, and yet the work cons carried on in penury ; he made himself nom that others might be . rich, and he has tel it name without parallel in the annuls of science.

As sonic of the more curious portions of the official note book of an Indian agent, I transcribe the memoranda relating to it. Albert Black was an honest English gentle man, whose adventures in search of fortune led him away ['limn Regent to wander in wes t •rn wilds,and this is the way he "put through" a portion of the winter of that year. Ile was I residing with a single companion in it little I log cabin at the Indian village of Belle Cools, • on tile coast of British Columbia. There was no white man nearer than one hundred miles but the village of many Indian tribes were situated in the immediate vicinity. The win ter was only half through ; few natives came trading about the post, and as time lay heavi ly on their hands, Black and• his companion resolved to go hunting for a few days. A canoe was accordingly fitted out with a stock of provisions and ammunition, and with an Indian as steersman and pilot, they proceeded to thenc"lirti islan d s, shouting t " i the (hicks and wild geese which assembled In countless flocks by the mouths of the north- Western rivers in winter. The season was mild, but With a thin coating of snow on the ground, so that each night they encamped In the open air, and slept well ; wrapped up in their blankets around the blitzing log tire. Few old explorers In the countries ever think of carrying a tent with them, and our hunters were not posessed of one even had they cared to avgl theffiselves of its shelter. They had en cruising about in this manner for seve- Tel days, when, as usual they encamped ono night on an island, with the canoe drawn up the beach. Their provisions they. built up around them, to guard them front the attacks of any prowling Indians or ether mishaps. Their Indian pilot had informed them he was just about out of powder and bullets, at the same time begging to be supplied with somd, exhibiting Ids pouch, whdch contained but two charges. The hunters were too tired to open their packages, and notwithstanding his solicitations, they put him olf until morning. They then, assusual, loaded their titles, the Indian doing so also ; had all three men laid down to sleep, and all slept save one. flow long they slept Black could not sap but all that he remembered was being awoke • by the report of a rifle. A. low scream, and then a moan' by his side, told him that all was over with his companion. The Indian's place was vacant ; and before Black could be come fully conscious of his situation, he was fired at (coin the dark, and a bullet struck his thigh. He attempted to rise, but was unable; his leg was fractured. Instantly he grasped his revolver, and he had scarcely done so be fore he 'was conscious of a figure crouching towards him in the darkness. Ile immediately tired, but the shot did not take elfect,and his would•be murderer retreated behind some rocks. He now staunched the blood flowing from his wound as well as cur• cumstanecs would permit, tying a handker chief around it. All doubt was now at an end that the Indian guide, tempted by the prop erty, had murdered his companion, and was only prevented by want of ammunition from despatching him too. All night long—it, seemed a year—he kept awake, too excited to sleep, though he was faint from loss of blood. Sometimes he would relapse into an uneasy sleep, from which he would be startled by the barking of his little dog, when lie would grasp his revolver, only to see a figure again skulk ing into the darkness. Daylight at last' came, and he had now time to centemplate his situation. Helpless, badly wounded, far from white or friendly Indian, he wits alone, with an enemy watching every moment to destroy him, as he had done his companion, whose glasy eyes stared up at him. Provisions enough were lying scattered around ; but none were accessible as food, save the hag of sugar, and on this his chief chance of subsistence lay. lie knew enough of science to know that Magendie's dogs when tel on sugar soon grew emaciated, but he also knew that it supported life fora time. Before night snow fell and covered , the dead body out o,r his sight. i•ionietimes he would relapse into a half waking sleep, when again the ever faithful dog, who seemed almost conscious ho v - matters stood, would warn him of the approach of his enemy. It was in vain that Black attempted to get it shot at him ; and liad it not liven for the watchfulness of his dog friend, th • wretch must soon have been able to despatch with his knife the guardian whose revolver intervened between lain and the coveted property. And so they kept their dreary Vigils, and the :MOW full heavily; and though his leg pained hint exceedingly, he managed to keep warm in 'lns blanket lined burrow. The Indian would sometimes dis appear for hours and even a day, apparently looking after food. The poor hunter would then imagine that he had got clear of his bloodthirsty victim, when again the barking of Flora would warn her master. On one or two occasions the Indian managed to approach w Man' a die t• feet of his intended victim before his presence was detected ; and as both mur derer and hunter were equally intent en each other's destruction, escapes were sometimes EMI= Several days elapsed in this manner, until at last the Indian seemed to have grown tired, and left the island, in the canoe ; for they were no longer alarmed. The sugar was get ting nearly done, and the poor dog was now so weak with hunger, that, even when it did not absent 'Ascii searching for food on the shore. it was scarcely able to give an alarm. It' Black survived hunger and his wound, which was now very painful, the Indian, he knew, WOold soon 'return and accomplish his purpose. With such thoughts his prospects were gloomy enough. and so dozed away the hours half frozen and faint. It was the tenth night (he had long lost count of time; but found so afterwards) since the murderous at- tack, when he was awoke by a loud talking on the beach. The moon, sailing over the leaden snowy sky, enabled him to recognize the figures of several Indians hauling a canoe on the beach. Ile grasped his revolver, determined to sell his life dearly, for he was now fully persuaded that it must he his murderer returned with. as sistance. It was strange, however, It struck that they had landed in such an exposed situation. " Who are you ?" lie inquired, in the Chinook jargon—the trading language of the coast. They were apparently unaware of the presence of any one but theinselves. Again lm shouted more cheerily, and they ap proached him, when he was delighted to recognize the familiar faces of several Bells Coot a Indians—old acquaintances of his. He them his story ; and as they listened he un covered (lip body of his murdered companion, they every now and again bursting into a cry of horror. Food was prepared, and every at tention paid to him. The dead body was buried, and Black conveyed to the Indian vil lge, where he wits carefully nursed until news reached the nearest white man's abode. The military colonist hurried down, and happen ing to have been in earlier days an officer in the army, he knew a little about . surgery. They dressed Black's wounds and conveyed him back to the settlements, where under medical treatment he slowly recovered. But it was many morals before lie could walk without crutches, and to the end of Ills life he will bear the marks of dud (*earth! experience' of " putting through the winter" in the dark days of 180—. As we have a good deal On novels) of the generous savage, I may as well say that my poor friend had to pay well for all the hospitality he received. The water be drank, the . grimud he lay on, the food he rite, everything was charged fqr, but most cheer fully paid.. I It is, however, a greater pleasure to relate that, after the bill was paid, the Indians threw in the, execution of the murderer into the bar; gain. The avengers of blood found hint In his lodge, comfortably awaiting the death of I poor Black by starvation or cold, either of which, he, no doubt, thought would save him MI trouble. He seemed rather to exult when charged with shooting the white men, but the Bella Coola warriors took a different view of Matters, and with a summary justice, which would have done credit to a Californian vigil ance committee, they shot him where he sat. As for poor Black, I saw him dancing at a Christmas party not very long ago ; but a ter rible limp, which afterwards caused his part tier to style him en " awkward sort of a colo nial fellow," tell me another tale. WHAT to do with the avails of the next cot ton crop, is the question . which is much die- cussed in the South. It is not exactly count ing chickens before they are liiitched,for being out of debt now, It is reasonable to suppose that when the next crop is gathered a consid erable surplus will boon hand. It is gratifying to know that the idea of factories, not for Arking up cotton solely, but the minerals of the South, is the most prevalentonc. This re ceives encouragement froth some statements made at the recent Industrial Convention In Charleston. A factory in South Carolina sent packages of yarn to England last spring, land sold them there at a profit of four and ono quarter cent per pound, or about eleven per cent. on the cost of manufacture. It appears that these yarns Fan be made five cents per pound cheaper than at the North, and when sent here for sale, atler paying the usual com mission, have returned a profit to the manu factures of ten cents per pound. It is said that a Northern manufacturer, who had observed filo enceess of the Southern factories during periods of depression at the Northoand had started an experimental establishment In Georgia which yielded $15,000 profit from only laframes or 2,400 spindles, while his other factories paid no protlt,.bas moved his entire manufacturing business to, thc Souili.

A. friend of ours, who owns aline farm near Camp Dennison—John we will call him—in fond of horses, and has a•private race-track where ho puts hie fast nags through a course of equine sprouts. Those residing in the vi cinlti who have, or think they have, fast nags, frequently resort to this race-track for the pur pose of testing the speed of their horses. Now, John is a bit of a wag, and numerous are the jokes he has played off upon his friends in " timing" their horses with his patent stop watch. Every man likes to think he has got a fast horse, and when told that his horse had made a mile in 2:80 when ho had no idea ho could get below the fifties, he naturally feels elated, don't you see—especially when so grave and earnest a man as our friend John holds the watch, and that watch is known the country round for Its reliability. If any ono else were to time- the speed of he nags they might question its authenticity, but John, no one thought of questioning him or his watch. Ono day last fall a neighbor ing farmer, 'who couldn't sleep very , well nights because ho had got it into his head that a colt he owned was fast, brought the said colt to John's racetrack to try him. John very accommodatingly held his patent watch while the owner of the colt- drove around the track. " Two•thirty eight I" yelled John as the colt passed the mile pole. • " What's that 1 , " shouted the man in aston ishment. "Two minutes and thirtyeight seconds ex actly," 'replied John, without moving a muscle. This was so much better than the colt pro prietor had anticipated that he couldn't believe it possible, and said'so. "11old the watch yourself, then," said John sense W hat gruffly, if you cen't believe me." •" 011,1' replied the man, hastening to con ciliate, .1 don't question your meaning in the matter, but you might have made a mis take on the watch." " Don't you know this is a patent stop watch ?" inquired John. "It can't make any mistake ; there, you see, it has stopped on two minutes thirty-eight seconds. I'll drive around and you time the colt." Now the interior of the track was planted with corn, and a forest of corn-stalks reared their lofty heads there, completely obstruct ing more than a very limited view of the track. The word "go" was given, and John "got." As soon as he was out of sight of the others he darted through a woods that traversed the cornfield, cutting off nearly half the distance, so that when ho reached the mile-post the owner of the colt fairly danced with joy as he roared : " Two-thirty -one•and-a-Aa(f, by hokey." The man was nearly wild with excitement, refused five hundred dollars John offered him for the colt on the spot, and hurried home with his newly-found treasure. He was on a look out:for some fair where ho was confident of being able to "scoop 'em all," as he said. The Blanchester Fair came off in a little while and th ere was our hero with his wonderful colt. lie put him in against the fastest trotter they had, bet his money freely, and to his own horror and the uproarious mirth of the crowd, his fast colt was nearly five minutes in getting around. In utter disgust he sold the colt for a moderate sum, and is entirely c'xred of the fast horse complaint. He don't know to this day that John stopped his "stop watch" on him, and he is ignorant of the short cm through the corn-field, but he don't want any more fast horses John has cured several embryo horsemen in the same way, and looks upon himself as a benefactor of his race if he Isn't of the horse race. His treatment is expensive but effectual.—" THE CHAMPION SNAKE STORY. Michigan Air Blue With the Breath of Serpent.. The most astonishing snake story of the season comes to us from Dearborn, Michigan, and is thus related in the Detroit Free Press: " Yesterday noon (the 81st ultimo), at the City Hall Market, seeing a farmer endeavor ing to find a purchaser for the akin of a mon stor black snake, the sight of which gathered a crowd, our reporter was led to make some inquiries into the circumstancesconnected with his snakeship's capture. The skin was brought in here by Mr. E. IC. Snow, a farmer, resid ing about four miles west of Dearborn, and was obtained about the 28th ultimo. On the 20th ultimo Mr. Snow missed a calf which had been confined in a pen near the barn. The animal had passed out and gone to the woods, after the cattle. All the stock came home after sundown, but the calf failed to appear. The next morning Snow and one of his sons took a tramp through the woods after the missing calf, but failed to find it. The two boys next day, continued the bunt, going all over the farm and woods, but no trace of the calf was found. On the 25th Bnow took his oxen and proceeded to the woods for the pur pose of hauling up the pans and other utensils used in the bush last spring to manufacture maple sugar. On returning, the team was guided a shorter route, .along an old road between the two farina, in order to avoid crossing the growing crops. Just after crossing a little creek Snow's olfardorles were greeted with a sickening stench, and the oxen snuffed the air a time or two and set off on a run, pans and buckets flying over the ground. Snow looked around for the cause of the stench, believing that It had something to do with the loss of his 'calf. Following up the little brook about thirty feet to higher ground, Snow found a dip' in the soil, just under a rocky bank,•with a little grassy peninsula jut ting out until it made a bend around which the creek flowed, Conning a sunny, secure spot. In the centre of this spot was the de caying body of the calf, and over it, around it, and crawling in every direction, were big snakes, little snakes, old wakes and young, until, as Young AmeriCa' has it, Snow 'couldn't rest.' Ho saw snakes crawling to ward the brook, others coming back, others , Doming out and going into the• holes in the ledges below him---and there was an odor arising from the whole that fairly made the air blue. Near the body of the calf were a . dozen big snakes knotted together, until one's flesh chilled to behold them. Snow counted fblly fifty large black' snakes, looked upon the sight as long. ail Ids nostrils would permit, and . then started' for home for means of revenge...* ..He got several old.barrels, filled them With sinew, cobs and light wood, with a dozen bundles of straw to spare, and then returned to the: roost." The snakes were as thick as 13V(** had. as ,they beard and saw the preparations makingabove them, they hissed and raised their beads with double venom. One of the boys took straw and a barrel around to the opening, and the father and the other son at a proper time sent down their fireworks front the sides of the banks. The fire went off like Fourth of July, making a noise that prevented tearing any disparaging remarks from the reptiles, and is about half an hour the' ihrmer descended, to find the ground covered with, balf-consumed remains of thirty o; forty reptiles, while a large number had saved by getting into t'-o banks.
