Pewee College, Oct. 19th, 1847.
WEALTH .4NO I;OVERTI
,We are acquainted with two men, resi
dents of this city, (says the Cincinnati
Chronicle,) who are fair types of human
character in general. The one has been
blest with all that wealth can bestow ; lives
in luxury, takes his ease "in the inn,"
rides in coaches, and, in a word, cuts a
"grand flourish" in this little world of ours.
Ile is fond of contributing large sums to
public enterprises, particularly when - his
name is likely to appear in the papers in
connection therewith—boasts of his public
spirit and liberality, and , is punctual in his
attendance at church on each-Sunday.—
Hut withal!, he is proud, vain, haughty
and imperious. He looks upon those leos
favored by fortune, and beneath him in so
cial life: as unworthy his attention. He
has not a grain of charity ip his soul. Ile
wonld pass by a poor man, in suffering,
without deigning to look upon him. Ho
never contributed. perhaps, in all his life,
a dime to relieve the distresses of the weak
and suffering. Humble want, the wail of
the son and daughter of adversity, have no
claims upoa ham. He walks by them
with a pompous step and an unfeeling
heart.
The other character is just the reverse
. of this, both in condition and in heart.—
Poor from childhood, he has never known
the moment when he was free from want.
His means have been =all. his wants nu
, mecum.. Yet in poverty and in gloom,_
he has endeavored to do what little good
; he cound to relieve the miseries of his fel
-1 lb* Aniferevit. TOding incessantly for
.small wages, he has ortea'divided the re-
Wards of his labor with some poor, needy
widow. He has - 1 soul—a soul full of
..e.barity, of love, and of truth. His heart is
~ as-braid as
man
wants of humanity itself.
This man is neglected, unnoticed, un
cared for t, while the other is the object
..of adulation aid eulogy. How unequal,
how anjust prelim rewards of this world
did:milk all - thin, we would rather be that

As I eat on a tomb in the Turkish eras
etry the next morning, (March .104 watch
ing the preparations for oor departure, I
almost •dreaded - the 'interest which every
day would now bring, after the calm and
quiet weeks we had spent in the Desert.
Ourencampment
,looked much the swipe
as it had done every morning for a assuela
past, the Arab servants busy* takingdown
and packing the tents, and a noisy quarrel
going on in the midst--(this wanting about
a pistol having been stolen from one of
tents*) arid'iliedifforairista 'WM ably Oat
there were spectators standing by, and that
our camels had given place to hones and
asses. But, instead of the rocks mad sands
of the Desert, Hebron was before my eyes,
and the hills where Abrahate spread
flocks, and the spot where he and his fam
ily lay buried. And before night I abowli
see the place where David was bona and
lived his shepherd life, and Jesus was bora.
We had only twenty miles to travel this
day to Bethlehem ; but it was quite estregh
for ~fere eager about every old tree, and
well, and hill-top. The shrubs grew finer,
and the 'wild flowers More abundant, the
whole way ; though the hills of Judah were
wild and stony in parts, and no longer
for pasturing such flocks as covered them
when Abraham lived among them, or when
the Hebrews drove in their cattle from the
Desert, or when David in his boyhood w.
mused himself with slinging smooth stones
froth' the 'breok, while hie - father's sheep
were feeding on the slopes. We sat down
to rest and eat under the abide of a rock
and a spreading tree ; and for the hundredth ,
time since we left Egypt, it occurred to me,
how little we in England can enter into the
meatting of David, when, 'in his divine
songs, when he speaks of the shade of,
rocks, and of the beauty of '•a tree planted
by rivers of water," and all such cool im
ages. When one has been slowly pacing
on. hour after hour, over glaring sands or 4
heated rocks, under a sun which makes
every bit of leather or metal, and one's . ont r
erelothing„ feel scorchA . hot, and oppres
sing—On-ea veiTlireittßing, ace sight of a
patch of dark shade is welcome beyond be
lief; and when one has dismounted, and
felt the coolnessof the rocky wall and of
the ground beneath it, and gathered the
fresh weeds which cluster in its crevices.'
phrase after phrase of the Psalms and Pro
plieries comes over one's mind with a fife
and freshness as sweet as the blossoms in
one's lap. '
Oil Taig'ht of ire - thlehirii — W was beanti,
fill. We came upon it suddenly, just when
the yellow sun-set light was richest. Beth-
Ichein was on the rising ground on,pu i r .
right, malisive-looking (as all the villages,
of Palestine arc) and shadowy, as the lair
sun rays passed over it to gild the western
hills and another village which there lay
hid up, emhosomed in fig and olive or-'
chards. The valley between. one ofwhieh
we were rising, lay in shadow. Before
us, perched on a lofty ridge which rose be
tween us and Jerusalem, was the convent
tit. Elias; which we were to pass to-mor
row. I was sorry to turn away from this'
view ; hut wcliad to take the right-haml,
road, and ride through the narrow streets'
of the village to the great convent, built over I
the spot where Jesus is believed by the:
friars to Lave beenborn:
It was too late this etening to see arty of
the sacred localities; but ►t was quite
enough to have the moonlight streaming in
during the whole night through the win
' dow of lofty convent chamber, and to think
that on this hill took place the greatest
event in the history of the world ; and that
in the fields near, the gentle Ruth went
about her gleaning, little dreaming, in those
days o f her poverty, that from her meeting
with Boaz, among the reapers of his har
vests, would arise such events to the ha
man race ; that the shepherd grandchild.
whose divine songs were to soothe her old
age, should be the mighty king he was, and I
the father of a yet ; mightier, who should
build 'the great Temple of the Lord; and'
that a more distant descendant should make ,
these glories appear as childish toys, in
the presence of His greater sovereignly
over the universal human soul. A wise
man of a late century has nobly said, that!
"Prosperity is the promise of the Old
Testament, and Adversity that oldie New.
On this hill was born the prosperity of the
Old Dispensation ; and on this hilt was
born the Man of Sorrows, who knew the
secret -of true peace, and taught it in the
saying that it profits not a man to gain the
whole world; if he lose his own soul.
In the morning, we weal intadifeekaods
of the convent. I eared little for the 8,-
1 per part, with its chapels for Greek, Latin,
and Armenian worship ; and not me*
more for the caverns under ground, where
the friars believe that Joseph wok Mazy
remained while there was no room for deem

ing ; and striking was the effect, after com
ing down fro? the 'sunshine, of the crowd
ed cavern, with its yellow lights and their
smoke, and the.eohoes of the chanting.—
We returned when the
.service waft 'over
and saw the star in the marble door whieb
marks, as the fliers believe, the precise
spot where Jesus was born, and the war
ble slab which is Mid in the place of the
manger. When I saw, throughout the.'
country. how the Arabs now use the caves
of the hills to bed their goats and cattle. ,
this belief of the friars appeared less ab
surd thou it would with us ; hut still. it is
so improbable that the precise spot of these ;
transactions (whose importance was not
known till afterward) should have been
marked and remembered, that I felt little
interested in them, in comparison with the
landscape outside, about whose leading
features there could be no mistake.
From the bottom of the garden we over
looked the great valley which expanded to
the northeast ; and oneenclosure there—a
green spot, now occupied by olive trees;

tielta-therneelvee; * *Weill, prior to that, had
been.tOrned.out by, the hand. It made 500
a•minuth and much more perfectly than
by. dm Old method.;
%Next he sm. about and perfected a lathe
forterniog gun barrels. It was an easy
process to tura the muzzle end, but at the
lower part, the machinery, by a self-acting
change, was made to accommodate itself
adroitly to the oval and octagonal parts of
the breech. All this was accomplished
with great facility by steam power.
liVhen this apparatus was first started at
Springfield, the workmen came round to
witness the experiment. On its success
ful operation, one of the workmen remark
ed to another, "this man has upset our art."
One of the gun-stock makers said hecould
"not upset him, for the stranger cot id not
turn a gun-stock." Blanchard replied that
"he would try."
Ile finally rucceeded in making a lathe
to turn out gun-stocks with accuracy and
facility, by steam power ! Ile secured a
patent for the invention, and it is now in
successful operation at Springfield and
Hapees Ferry, and it has literally "upset
the art" of making gun-stocks by manual
labor.
This curious machine was at once ap
plied to making shoe lasts, hat blocks,
tackle blocks, and all similar Utensils; and
while it put an end to the tedious process
of making such articlCs by hand, it produ
ced far more perfect specimens.
Next he invented an: improvement in
steamboat machinery to enable boats of
small draft to ascend the rapids of rivers,
and his plan itilow in general use for as
cending rivers of narrow, shallow, and rap
id channels. '

the American ladies present were in very

who sat near - Mrs. Adams Whitiperad To
her, saying. "Good Heavens! how awfully
she is dressed !" Mrs. Adams rebuked the
observation by saying that "the lady's rank
placed her above the little formalities of
dress." 'We wish it was the case min',
that all who pccupy honorable places would
feel themselves above such small matters,
and, indeed, that every one would consider
that a brilliant and well trained mind,good

the reports of the soundings on the flats,
("two feet scant,") were heard repeated
among the tall trees on the eastern shore,
without the stighest variation. Some of
the passengers, observing this curious ef

Mr. Echo, and they were always favored
with e repetition of the question asked, or

"Well, that is a curious echo, sure e

was rocking hersellon the afterguard, and
smoking a pipe at the same time. We
were all somewhat startled by this unex

"What is the price of corn ?"
Echo—" The price of corn."
