bow intimately the principles of t-henusiry are in
terwoven with the lucrative pursuits of society, and
how indispensable is a knowledge o( these prin
ciples to every intelligent business man.
Closely associated with cbemi-lry and ot an
equally extensive application in the arts of hie is
the scieuce of Physics, which maL«-i us acquainted
with the mechanical cooktituticH aud properties ot
matter, the laws of motion, and the doctrine ol for
ces. Every instrument that as»irts the hand of
man, from the simplest tool to the most complies - j
led roabbinery. is constructed, and can otten only 1
be used, through a knowledge of law*, which it u|
the province of physic# to investigate and explain, j
Surely, m a thv ol steam engines, aud amidst the
ceaseless din ot machinery, it would be superflu
ous for us to show that e very *tßechaoic, artisan and
manufacturer, from the highest lo the lowest, should
understand the implements of their daily labor
What respectable mechanic, we will not say ma
chibiat, but what blacksmith or carpenter in our
city, who lias not keen the advantage of being able
to calculate the power of machinery, cl under
1 standing the law of tlold pressure, the nature ol j
i materials, and the affect of air, water, and best up
l on their durability. How often would professed
urehite-cts, not to mention common builders, hove
l>een saved from total mistake*, had they under
stood the nature of materials, their capacity lo en
dure the action ol the elements, orhaolhey known
how to calculate the precise effect of oblique and
compound forces Every journeyman iu these
trades, Una need for all this knowledge, which the
science of phy-u-s, assisted by chemistry, imparts.
There is oneolher branch of education peculiarly
needed in our community, which is less appreci j
perhaps twcatise less understood bv educated I
1 men: themselves, than the two we bare already '
mentioned .we refer to tbe art of drawing u
would be bard to say wbal employment m the
niechuuic Arts could lieit dispense with a know
ledge ol - drawing, ami equally hard lo point to a
•ingle employment or trade tu our community, in
which this art is either practised by the workmen
or its principles understood. As a powerful agent
rti mental cultivation, the practice ot drawing
would property hold an important plare m anv
scheme of education. U imparts to the uiind a
correct perception ol symmetry and proportion,
and makes us to delight tu ibe beautiful forms a!
nature and art. It cultivates to a nicety the power
of comparison, U laimliarixe* the mind with the
conditions of contrast and harmony; in short, upd
ates iu many ways to improve the intellect and to
retine and elevate tbe feelings and tbe taste. I
cultivates those very qualities of mind, only wan
surer result, which it u our aim to cultivate in the
study of the ancient languages. But to the me
chanic, drawing is more than all this. » « l “ e
only language by winch he cun express bis
thought*; for a plan of architecture or a ?^[ x ot
machinery must be seen m order to L* fully un
dersiood. It i» to Uim.whul speech is w the oialor.
Or philology to the metuphytician. U a**wts and
eoostnatly improves his power of thought and in
venlibn, by enabling him lo give to lua idea# a
visible form, while tbe habit of puurirayuig bis con
ceptions to tbe eye. prevents him Irora 1. aving them
half finished in the mind, and compels him, aa it
were, to perfect bis own thoughts, in proposals
for contract, it enables him to submit bis plans with
u perfection and clearness which cannot be mis
understood, so that in ordinary rases, the best
draftsman becomes the successful competitor.
A knowledge of drawing pa periods ol equal
importance to the mechanic, iu enabling him to
comphrhend the execotions aud inventions ot oth
ers, as in giving tbe power to express hi* own
ideas.' So perfect and so well agreed upon are
the ttlles ot this art, that the well educated mechan
ic wilt execute the most complicated machinery,
aa Well from a draft aa trom a model. In those
counir.es where drawing is thoroughly understood,
as tn Germany and France, the manutacturer
may send his order for machinery to a distant
city With no other direction but his draft to «c
*ur« its perfect execution. Architectural and or
aamental drawing are also deserving a share ol
attention in a system of instruction which aims
to educate properly the industrial classes m ouf
community- The higher kmoa of architecture
require a cultivation and purity of taste wnich
| nothing but drawing can give. Lverv builder

When the botcher had departed, Mr*. Pollard

The Toll house consisted of two rooms, with on
ly one door of entrance, and which was at the urou
The back apartment was used as a bed-room, an
was lichted by a small window at the foot of the
bed. The from one had two windows; a tolerably
large one near the do*,r and a small lattlcei whose
diamond-shaped t-quarcs of glass were encased
wtibin tbir plates ol Imd. To none ofthese win-
dows were there uny »!»uuer>*, with the exception
oi the one id the bed-room.
Ai her usual lime, Mr. Pollard retired to rest,
i,nl m ram endeavored io the dog still re

The mght wa» more eb.il and dreary than had

up roiiud. Stdl,l the dog gave forth no sound
or indication of wlial wtu goiug ou.
Mrs. PoUurl was now ulmosl frantic with ex
esn of fear, fePlmg annured that she must undoubt
edly m a few moments be murdered. The per

An we laid, the dog bad us yet no’
sign of recognition; but when, a momeah-atter Jbe
noise of Ibe handle* turoiog rountTwa* heard,
Home one appeared to be U body through
the aperture, he gave q low growl, followed by a
sudden spring- A shrill cry of ugony iinmedinle-
Jy echoed through the bouse, so keen and startling
as almost to chill the blood in Mrs. Pollard's veins.
The cry wa« followed by the round of fierce strug
gling. unngled with sharp cries. which each mo
incut became weaker and weaker, an ol a human
berng in the very extreraest of mortal pain and an
guish; aod the deep-mouthed baying of the dog.—
At length the straggle ceased, and all become still
as dcaih.
When daylight appeared, Mrs. Pollard rose-and
dresred, with as much speed as the weakness the
terror* of the night had occasioned would pernul
She (iieu sat down by the window, to await the ap
pearance ol the nrsl person who might pass, tor she
could not stmutinn siitticient resolution to enter the
other room alon*-. In a short tune a teamster ap
proached. whom she hailed; and as soon as be bad
stepjied near to where she VU sealed, 10l J hint the
story ol the previous night's adventure.
He iimUtiHy rmi round to the Mile on wlm-h we*

r\claimed — My <»od, what a sight l have seen'"
He then goi m by the njien window at which Mrs.
Pollard hud been seated, and led (he way to the oth

Honlrvy had formed luc resolution of robbing

with her at u iut<aue of effectually warding off alt
suspicion from attaching to bimaell, never for a
