Improved Gas Burner.
The subject of gas burners has, for a con
siderable time past, been prominent among
the discussions carried on by scientific asso
ciations, and a large number of patents have
been taken out for contrivances of this char
acter. One of these, recently brought for
ward by an English inventor, appears some
what different in its construction from any
other. The top of this burner is bell-shap
ed, and has a broad thing around it, through
which holes are bored from beneath in such
a manner as to conduct jets of air diagon
ally into and across the flame, which keep
up a sufficient supply of warm oxygen, and
the flame is said to be very bright. This
burner also contains a small recess, in which
is a disk of perforated pasteboard and ano
ther of thin cotton cloth, stretched on rings
and so arranged as to form a chamber be
tween them. The as passes through this
chamber to the orifice, and is diffused so as
to flow steadily to the burner and prevent
flickering.

Animal ?nod and Bread.
A paper was recently read before the Lon
don Chemical Society by Dr. thlbert, on the
composition of the animal portion of human
food, and on its relations to bread. The
general conclusions were, that only a small
portion of the inert-use of a fatening animal
was composed of nitrogenous matter; that
from five to ten per cent. only of the nitro- /
genous matter of the food was stored up in ;
the body of the animal ; but that the amotuit
of fat stored up was frequently greater thairi
the amount supplied in the food, despite /
the loss incurred in the maintenance of the
respiratory functions. hence, the compar
ative value of fatening foods was proportion
al ratherto the amount of respiratory than
of assumed flesh-forming constituents. It;
was calculated that in those portions of the
carcasses of oxen actually consumed as hu
man food, the amount of dry fat was from
two to three times es great as the amount of
dry nitrogenous matter; and in the eaten
portions of the carouses of sheep and pigs,
more than four times as great. By substi
tuting for the above proportions of fat, their
respiratory equivalents in starch, so as to al
low of • oompsrisoa between meat and
bread, the ratios become six or seven to one
and eleven to one respectively. From earl- ),
ons determinations made by a number ass
perimentern it appeared that in wheat
bread' the ratio of starchy to nitro
matter was six or seven to one; L no
sot in I
bread the proportion of animal flesh-form
ing
constituents wasr than the eaten
portions of sheep asul r i t it i g i t and quite equal
to that of the eaten portions of oxen—a
conclusion altogether opposed to the prove,
lent notions on the subject,.
A Tria that laded Well.
A young man was studying at s
One afternoon he walked out- with an in
structor and they chanced to see an old pair
of shoes in by the aideof the path, which
appeared to belong to a poor old man at
work close by.
"Let us have a little amusement at Lis
expetise," said the student. "Suppose we
hide those shoes, and conceal ourselves in
the bushes to watch his perplexity when he
cannot find them."
"I can think of ► better trick than that,"
said the instructor. -You are rich. Sup
poee you put a silver dollar in the toe of
each of his shoes and then we will hide."
The young man did so. The poor man
finished his work soon, and went to put on
his shoes. You can imagine his surprise
when he stooped to take a pebble, as he sup
posed from the toe, and fountd• still another
in the other shoe. Ilia feelings overcame
him; he fell upon his knees; looked up to
Leaven, and uttered a long, fervent thanks
giving, in which he thanked a kind provi
dence for sending some unknown hand to
Faye from perishing his sick and helpless
wife and his children without bread. Do
you wonder that the Young man stood in his
biding plaoe &oily affected? Young
friends, when you wish to enjoy real pleas
ure in wltssea.iai the perplexity of others,
see if you cannot. some vray, imitate the
student. Such tricks are well worth "Nies

That clanger is not reoent or new. It bag •
history. And we must glance at that—we
must obtain a clear view of the actual state
of the crisis, before we can gives or receive
intelligent counsel.
It was annouheed *few yaws ago that the
conflict which had sprung up in this l oatintrr
between free and slave labor was ireepressi
ble—that a house divided airsituit itself
could not stand—that all the States of this
Union must become free or slave States.
The meaning of this was, and is, that all
were to' become free States, for the soil and
climate of a majority of the States are such
that it never can become the interest of the
superior race to maintain slavery in them.
' Everybody knows this, and therefore the al
ternative form of the proposition was only
to give it an appearance of fairness and a
little more material effect.
The fuU scope and meaning of the an
nouncement are, then, that citizens of the
United States are to be totally divested of
the yiroperty they now hold in four or *Ye
millions of slaves, of the aggregate value of
many hundred millions oidollars, and that
the habits and domestic condition of the
people--their commercial relation*, and
their political rights, in so far as those inte
rests are connected with the institution of
slavery--are to undergo • revolution.
Nor was this prediction the voice of an
obscure and unhonored proy?het, but of a
citizen whom the people of the free States j
bare just distinguished in a signal manner
by conferring on him the highest office they
had to give. In PO far as their votes are to
be considered as respotisive to his announce-
ment, they aris a loud amen—a solemn an
swer, so la
Whilst it is not to be doubted that multi
tudes voted for the President elect with
others views, and did not intend a distinct
endorsement of his favorite proposition, yet,
as the record is made up, the prophecy and
the prophet stand approved by a majority
of the people of the free States. The in
exorable exclusion of slave property from
the common Territories, which the Govern- I
ment holds in trust for the people, of all the I
States, is a natural and direct step towards j
the grand result of extinguishing slave pro
perty, and was one of the record issues of
the fate election. This policy must be con

meant to affirm that a trust ge for several
coequal parties has a right, in law or reason,
to exclude the property of some and admit
that of others of the parties for whom he
holds; but so is the record. And whilst it
is not to be taken as expessing the es;rersa/
sew of the voters, it (kiss undoubtedly im

rim
I The South seems ini-lined so to accept the
judgment. She holds the property that is
to be shit out of the Territories—timt is to
be restricted, cribbed, and confined more
and more until It is finally extinguished.--
Everywhere in the South the people are

defence. Could it be expected that she
would be indifferent to such events as have
.! occurred ? That the would stand idle and
' see measure. concerted and carried forward
for the 'ahiddlailation of her property in
slaves?
When theConstitutlon earns lobe formed,
some of the Northern States still held slaves,
but several had abolished the institution,
and it mist I've been apparent that natu
ral causes would force it. ultimately, alto
gether upon the South. The love of liberty
was as intense as ever, as strong at the South ,
as at the North, and the love of gain was
common also to both sections. here were
two master passions to be adjusted under
circumstances of the greatest delicacy. They
were a4justed in the only manner possible.
Concession and compromise—con sideration
for each other's feelings and intereets,sseri.
I flees of prejudices, forbearance and modera
tion—these were the means by which the
" more perfect Union was formed." And
what a work it was!
If the Union had never brought us a sin
gle blessing, the Constitution of the United
States would still have been a magnificent'
monument to the unselfish patriotism of its
founders. Not an alliance merely, but •
close and. perfect union between people
equally ambitious, equally devoted to free
dom, equally bent on bettering their condi
tion. but seperated by State lines. and jealone
of State rights---one section seeks its pros
perity under institutions which were to
make every man a freeman : the other un
der institutions which tolerated negro slave
ry. Had the Constitution failed to work
out the beneficent results intended, here
else an instance of human efforts to do good,
which would forever have challenged the
admiration of mankind. But it did not fail,
' thank God I it rustle us a great and prosperous
nation, and the admiration of the world for
the motives of the founders is swallowed up
in wonder at the success of their work.
But all this the irrepreeible conflict ig
nores. The iuscsion for liberty has burned
oat all memories of the compromise and the
compact in these Northern communities,
which under the false name of Liberty bills,
, obstruct the execution of the bargain.--
What part of the purposes of the founders
are the underground railroads intended to
promote? Whence came these excessive
sensibilities that cannot bear a few slaves in
a remote Territory until the white people
established a Constitution? What doss
that editor or preacher know of the Union,
and of the men who made it, who habitually
reviles and misrepresents the Southern peo
ple, and exciAge the ignorant and the
thoughtless in our midst to hate sad perse
cute them r.
And let the people consider the motives
for preserving the Union. They would be
brought directly to these by the debates of
the Convention, and by the antecedent and
subsequent debates. I can suggest only
some of them.
First, our name, and place, and paver, as
one of the nations of the earth. Are riot
these worth preserring? Ina ity years

Bee what prosperity would come to un of
the North, in the process of the grand rival
ry predicted by that statesman. Manufac
tures and navigation have built up the
greatness of England, and they would do
the same for us as a nation, and for our sec
tion of the nation. Manufacturing has al
ready made us great. In no one respect is

and hasten to die again. We shall never
need to depend again on any foreign nation
foe a fabric that can be made of cotton, iron,
or wood. Thus far, at leant, we have come.
And wise cities, and towns, and railroads,
and canals, hare we built up in our pro
gress! How much personal wealth and so
cial happiness have we imparted; what ad
ditions to our population; what accretions
in the value of our farms and minerals;
what industry have wp stimulated and
renovated ; what commerce we have won!
Think Of these things, fellow-countrymen ;
eon them over, one by one ; dissect and
analyse each ; trace its connections and con
sequences; and then, when you combine
them all in one glowing picture of national
prosperity, remember that cotton, the pier
duct of slave labor, has been one of the in
dispensable elements of all this prosperity.
More—it must be an indispensablee nt
of all our future prosperity. I say it must
be. The world cannot and will not live
without cotton. There is not a matron in
all the Union that can clothe her family or
herself without it. Ner can England do
without our cotton. ljer mills and ours
would rot, and her operatives and ours
would starve, if the negroes did not raise
cotton. Maniunit them, and they will nev
er raise another crop,. They need the au
thority of a master and the eye of an over
seer to compel and direct them to perform
the duties to the cotton plant, which must
be rendered at the right season precisely, or
the crop is lost.
And thus it happens that the providence
of that Good Being. who has watched over
us from the beginning, and saved us from
external foes, has so ordered our internal
relations as to make negro slavery an incal
culable blessing to us and to the people of
Great Britain. Do you not see and feel
bow good it was for us to hand 'over to our
friends of theßouth—how good it was forts
that they have employed them in raising a
staple for our manufactures—how wise it
was to so adjust the compromises of the
Constitution that we could live in union
with them and reap the signal advantages
to which I havo.adverted ? We consigned
them to no heathen thrall, but to Christian
men.
.professing the same faith with us—
speaking the same language—reading the

shape, but as it is recorded, a rule to slaves

This anoxic= to the golden rule reminds
me of an objection which will be urged to
much that 1 have advanced. It will be
said that slavery is a sin against tied, and.
therefore, that all reasons drawn from our
material Interests, for favoring or abetting
it, intuit go for nothing. If ,it be a sin, I
agree there is an end to my argument 7 but
what right has the Abolitionist to pronounce
it a sin? I say Abolitionist, because the
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of
Brooklyn, in a sermon preached within a
week, defined an Abolitionist to be one who
holds that slavery is a sin. I aciAlit the
definition, and according to it many of your

The dictates of true pntriotism and wise
.tatesmanship erste hold out the olive branch
—to treat the aggrieved States, whether in
or out of the Union, as American brethren
and friends—to bear with them in an ami
cable and fraternal spirit—to the end that
if the present Union goes to pieces on the
rock of sectionalism and abolitionism the
several States will preserve such a spirit to-
wards each other that they could consistent
ly, after the sad experience of a few months
or perhaps years. of unhappy separation,
come together again in a friendly spirit and
form a more perfect Union, with new guards
for the better security of all.

The Philadelphia ?ers, a Republican pa
per. thus speaks of the army of office hun
ters in that city:

great portion of the appointment hunting
army.
Men, with no station or abilities, are hope
fully seeking positions that they are no

Indeed, we assert no more than is true, when
we say that many of these office hunters are
more Ht candidates for the Alma }louse or:.
the County Prison, than for Federal appoint- -
ments.
Such persons might save themselves a
great deal of unnecessary labor, expense
and disappointment, would they but take
the pains to inform themselves as to the
real requirements for the posts they seek,
and of their own capabilities for them.—
Let them also learn the opinion held of them
by those whose assistance they ask in get
ting offices. These individuals should un
derstand that not merely the rights of cas
ting a vote entitles them to Government
bounty. For most of them the Government
does quite enough in giving them the priv
