The Doom of the World.
The North British norievr, discoursing on
the clouts of the world, has the following re
marks:
What this change is we dare not even con
jecture ; lout we see in the heavens themselves
some traces or destructive elements and sons*
indications of their annihilative power, the
fragments of broken planets, the descent of
meteoric stones upon our globe. the whirling
comets wielding their loose material at the
euler surface, the volcanic eruptions in oar
own satellite, the appearance of new stars aad
disappearance of others, are all foreshadows
of that impending coonrulsioni to whi c h the
world is doomed. Thus placed on a planet
which is to be burnt up, and under heavens
which are to pass away, thus residing, as it
were, on the cemeteries, and dwelling upon
mausoleums of former worlds, let us learn
the lessons of humility and wisdom, if we
have not already been taught in the school of
revelation.
The Bloom of Age.
It has been beautifully remarked that a
good woman never grows old. Years may
pass over her head, Out if benevolence and
virtue dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful
as when the spring of life Bret opened to her
view. When we look upon a good woman we
never think of her age; she looks as charming
SA when the robe of yunth first bloomed • ..ot
her cheek. That nee has not laded yet, it
never will fade. In her neighborhood she is
the friend and benefactor. Who does not re•
spent and hoe the woman who has passed
her days in acts of kindness and mercy !
We repeat,such a woman can never grow old.
She Rill always be fresh and buoyant in spir
it. and active in humble deeds of benevolence.

Edwin was one day looking at a large build

from day to day as they carried op the brick

Edwin, you seem to be very much taken

you be thinking about 1 Rave you any no

India-Rubber Tools for Machinists.
Mr. Thomas J. Mayan, of Roxbury, Mao.,
who bets lung boat engaged in the enterprise,
has soomeded in producing a composition, the
basis of which la India gabber oombined
with emery, from which are manufactured
files, emery wheels, grind-stones, hones, re
sor-strops,scythe-rifles, knife-sbarpeners, and
a variety of other articles of like nature.—
The files wrought front this now composition
es.n.be moulded into any desirable size or
form, and adapted to every variety of mechan
ical bubiness in which the common rasp and
file are employed. They can 1)e made as
rigid as the steel file, or as flexible and elas
tic as the original gum which forms the basis
of the invention. Emery wheels and grind
stones are wrought from this composition of
every desired shape and size, from the coar
sest grade of emery to the finest buff wheel.—
In point of economy, the new composition is
superior to ally of the implements which it is
destined to supersede, since the articles made
from it are serviceable until the material of
which they are composed is entirely worn
away. It possesses the virtde of repelling
oils and solvents.
Of the great variety of useful and ornamen
tal forms which India Rubber, through the
skill of the inventor,has been made to assume,
this is retarded as the latest and must impor
tant application. This somposition has been
perfected by a new process and principle dis
covered by Mr. Mayan, and we learn that the
rights of the discoverer have been duly secu

A titmice Romance
Years ago a young man, Mr. I'., resident of
this town, went to Albany to see some friends,
and while there made the acquaintance of a
young lady, a dress-maker in the family he
was visiting. During his stay in that city he
woe . the affections of the drese-maker, and
under the promise of marriage aocomplislied
her ruin. Mr. T. left fur his home, after as.
suing theyoung lady that he would retsirn
and fulfil his est is ;* but alas, his
promise was not ey never met
After months of anxiety and self-upbrai
ding, Mr. T. returned to Albany to see the
ohiset of his affections, and marry her ; he
loved her, though he had so cruelly deceived
bee. The dress-maker had left the city, and
no traces of her could be found. lie new
tained, however, that she had given birth to •
daughter, and after waiting months for his
return, had left the city of her shame. After
a fruitless effort Oe find her and his child, he
returned to his borne. Many long year. have
intervened ; the young man' has bosoms a
wealthy farmer, and is surrounded by a hap
py and interesting family. lie has bean bles
sed with everything to make him happy bat
the recollection of that wronged one has em
bittered his existence, and made life most
miserable—and year after year he has been
untiring in his efforts to discover her or the
offspring of their unhallowed lots.
The mother, after leaving Albany, married.
in one of the river counties, a mechanic.—
The daughter remained with her mother un
til she had reached the age of fifteen, when,
in consequence of the ill-treatment of her
stepfather, she left home and obtained a sit
uation as *serving in the family of Mr. 8., in
Troy—that gentleman having formerly been
a resident of this village. Fionn after, the
young girl's mother died, and having no re
latives to whom she could look for sympathy
and aid, she was persuaded to come to this
village, and reside in the family of Mr. B.'s
father. She aocordingly arrived here about
nine years since, and five years ago was mar
ried to a young man, a minion by trade.
Last winter the lady's husband wall em
ployed to do some work fur Mr. T. After
the work was completed, Mr. T. visited the
mason's house several times for the purpose
of carrying produce in payment of his labor.
Mr. T. was impressed with the appeaflusee of
the young man's wife, and on inquiry &Seer
tained where she was from, what her mother's
name was before she was married, A., (the
daughter bad been christened the name of
her stepfather,) and after a most thorough
investigation he became convinced that she
was his long-lost , daughter! T.'s wife had
never known of his criminal love, and he da
red not reveal it to her. Fur several months
he wrapt the secret in his own breast, till at
last paternal affection would no longer allow
hint to remain silent, and he made himself
known to his daughter. told his wife all, who
wisely forgave him, and consented to receive
Iter as one of the family. The danghtm is

A Lawyer Among Cows.
Squire Wick, a lawyer who fancier that
whst he dtn't know ain't worth knowing, and
whuse home is not a thousand miles from the
pine tree State, was a great favorite with the
late Judge Cranoh. Once when visiting the
Judge, the latter invited him to walk over the
premises. Among other places. they visited
the barn-yard, and the Squire wee streak
with admiration as he raid on the noble
herd of ewes, wbich had fuss been driven ap
for making. lie talked as elabonthely of their
different good points as would a first rate
stock breeder, when the fact was be knew
nest to nothing about stook sad some of the
good pointy be spoke of caused the Judge a
hearty lang in the sleeve. •
" Well, aim" med the Jude,, mirltkik of
the awe wi as take?"
" Which 'WI taker said the Jody, net
knowing the Judge's smashing.
-
"Yes, which will you take? I me going
to make you A present of one of them—which
shall It be?'
'Really. your honor, this is enexpected, I
will not object to the present, but I would
rather your honor would make the selection,
as receavers should nut be choosers."
" If you aooept this present, you must make
the selection. Being quite a good judge of
stock, you will not be likely to cheatToursalf,"
and the eccentric Judge smiled to bunself.
The Squire rubbed his gold bowed specie
ales, and began to view the ouws with a
critic's preehdon. Alter much scrutinising
he said:
"I apprehend your honor would not like to
part with that very fat, short horned: think
necked cow ?"
" I have no choice ; make ,our own selec
tion," .sod the Judge, his risiblee hardly con
trollable.
" I don't want to rob you of your favorite
cow, but if you have no choice, I should
prefer the fat one ; she has many good.
points."
" No robber) , at all—the fat sow is yours.—
My servant will drive her to your bowie be
fore milking."
The delighted Squire hastened home to in
form his wife. In about an hour he saw the
"fattest and best pointed ouw in the village,"
as he styled her, driven into his yard, and he
dispatched a sable daughter of Africa to milk
her. In a few minutes in came ebony, gig
gling and laughing. Squire Celt knew at
something was to pay, but what, be amid not
conjecture. There awed Dinah convulsed
with laughter, the empty bucket dangling by
her side.
"Whet on earth is to, pay, Dinah ?" inquir
ed the Squire.
"0, masa, f►r auLi, only, ki, hi, hi, he,
he, be."
The Squire looked at his wik—ohe at hies
—then both at Dinah, who had ••cioniptioneti"
with laughter, sod settled down , by the door,
her face covered with her apron, and her
laughing machinery shaking •tier sides at a
tremendous rate.
The Squire's dander ris.

"tell we whatie the natter, or VII throw yule

Dinah ruse, and controlled herself Ica%
*sough to say :-

It of laughter.
If you know how a emplanes an looks, a
potrait of Spire Wick's countenance would
be superfloous. The way that •`very fat
short-horned, thiek-neekeo cow," walked back
to the yard of Judge Crunch, was not slow,
and the Judge •book his sides with a caution
to stock critics.

to a louder voiee, at the same time raising his
admonisher in • threatening manner over
the devoted bend of the buy, " Who created
the heavens and she earth, the sun, moos,

Ante to Sake a Bak, horse oor
respondent of the Cotton Planter gives a meth
od for making an obstinate horse or mule
pall up a hill or any where else, when his
muscles are equal to the work. -" Take a
small rope, double it, make a loop st the dou
ble end, and draw it snugly around the under
jaw of the animal, jest below his front teeth,
with 4, loop underneath. Throw the loose
end over your shoulder and "walk io the way
lie should go," holding fast and pollingstead
ily and firmly. Don't be troubled about
for he will follow without flit , after he has
discovered how you have "got him." This
method will also compel an animal to stand
still and allow a bridle or collar to be put on
him."

Malleable boa.
Malleable iron is a - trade name given. not to
pure iron, for that Is always malleable. bat
to articles made of cast iron which have been
subjected to a certain process, after beiar must
into their particular forms, which shall re
duce or take away a portion of the carbon
which they coutain,•and they consequently
become less brittle, or, in other words, more
tough than east iron, and. of course, less
liable to break by the wear and concussion
when seed. The term malleable iron, how
ever, is nut very appropriate; for it is well
known that this is not very malleable, and
can bear no comparison wish iron in its pure
state, ea that valuable property. It would
be more appropriate to call it bastard steel.
which it in fact is, rather than malleable
iron.
The best of steel is made by combining
pure iron with carbon. The rods of iron are
kept in contact with heated or burning char
coal a certain length of time, when it is found
that there has teatime a union of carbon with
the iron, and steel is the result. If it be de
sirable to have a more unifcrm blending of ,
the Iron and-carbon, it is broken up and
melted in crucibles, and from this made into
nods, and heoee called " east steel." It
would seem, that, Waist iron is a combination
of iron and carbon, in greater proportion of
carbon than required fur steel, if it should be
suhjeesed to some prowess that aliaeld redoes!
the carbon to the true proportions, ponied
steel might thus be produced. It would bet
thus produced if the metal when reduced from
the ore were nothing but iron and carbon.--
Malleable iron, as stated above, is thus pro
duced, and true steel would be the result,
were it nut fur impurities in the iron, derived
from the . ure whee melted.

a forcible and eloquent allusion to the fact
that the Father of his Country could have no

Gov. Seymour said:

his good fortune, a gentleman rushed by hint
in an anxious, hurried, nervous tummie s
which ounvinced the boy that he was looking
for aosseasing, and he thought he knew what.
" !lave you lost anything ?" asked Johnny ,
" Yes--my pocket-book," was the gentleman's
answer; " have von seen it?"

less individual "of the foot part" proceeded
to say that the pocket-book was a large blank
one, oontaining one thousand two hundred .
dollars in bank bills, and soave accounts, a
strip of red morocco binding underneath the
flap, being inscribed '•ltoburt Thomas, 'Cov

Johnny's eyes snapped with cheerfulness as
he placed the treasure, just u be bad found
it, into the stranger's hands ; and we opine
there was greater joy in that one act than ten
thousand dollars could have puruhased, at the
expense of a guilty conscience.
Mr. Thomas hardly seemed to know which
to feel most—relief ott the recovery of the mo

admiration of his licnesty. Taking Johnny
by the hand, whose bounding heart (he knew
not why) had by this time "splashed tears in
to his eyes," the gentleman took hint to e

to toe, in a bran new suit. Then, proceeding
to a jewelry store, be purchased a good silver
watch, upon which he directed to be engraved
these words: "Robert Thomas to little John

with this, the generous stranger placed in a
