This acquiring withfdelighl is of great impor tance and. it.may be .safely concluded respecting all innocent knowledge, that if a child acquire, it with pleasure, he is well .taught. If .edu-. cation if so conducted, that it is a poshire pleas; ure .for a. child to learn, (and there is more gen uine satisfaction jn hard study than in lax inert efforts,) there is little doubt but a habilxund love of inquiry will be induced. Gjeaj advantages are.gained by this kind of early intellectual.cul ture. ' . While the child begins his acquisitions with. the interest and delight spoken of, the instruc tor should constantly have means at hand, and in use, that shall keep the mind shut, up to a kind of.pleasing necessity, (not rigorously felt as such,), to " press onwards.;" and. in this way to implant habits of self-improvcmeuJ, an.d self- control.

It is only nineyeanw smce-tHe first gold -pert was manufactured, and now they are numbered by thousands: weekly. I' well remember using silver pens previously:' to 1835, but they were without hardened points br elasticity, and soon became useless. In 1838, Rev. Mr. Cleveland conceived the Idea, ihat peiis might be made of gold, whfch woultO be better than Squill pens, and more econbniica'lf although made of such costly material '"H communicated his idea to Brown, vvho improved' on thfem, and .whip Was. the first maker of gold pens in this orany other country. After Brown carhe Bagley, and then a dozen Other makers, iUch tyas the demand for the article. Bagley is jhe rhoat extensive manufacturer. Surpri sing as. u may sbem, he "employs a capital of $80,000 in this business. His expenses are $1,000 per week. A house made a contract with Brown' & Bagley, ih the early stages of the business, for all the pens they made, and thus had a mdndpoly of the business for three years. They sold $75,000 per annum of this article, nearly one. half of which was profit. Bagley then went on and made a rapid fortune-. His pens rank the first in the market, although: the " Rtchlieu" pen, made by E. Watson Cb., is equally good. They possess in tho highest degree, the requisites of durability and elasticity, are made of the finest material, and furnished in the most workmenlike munner. In the manufacture of pens, the gold is first. rolled out in ribbons, and then cut with a die the re quired shape, and points put on, and then ground down to. the required nib; The points are' all imported generally, without the 'ceremony iof art introduction to the Custom House, and cost from $7 id $55 per ounce. The pens and ca ses sell at from $10 to $30 per dozen. The manufacture of the silver cases is a distinct business, and employs a large capital. It is not easy to make an estimate of the number: of pens manufactured per annnrrr, but it i .nJai probably less than 1,000,000, of 'vfhyJtk Bagley makes nearly one-half. A pers6n. who had riot thought of the subject wouhi scarcely suppose that eight hundred pounds' weight of gold were used up every year in the manufacture of such a trifling article as pen, a business unknown ten years ago yet soch is the fact. The. de mand for the article isenormous, and it is now difficult td find a. person who writes at all un provided with, this most economical of all pens.
