Coming of the Spring
I am looking for the coming,
The coming of the Spring;
0h! my heart with joy is swelling,
And gladness in it dwelling ;
While I'm waiting for the coming,
The coming of the Spring.
I've been weary too, with waiting,
Waiting for the Spring ;
When the birds shall tell their praises,
And with heavenly rapture sing
Of the presence of earth's fairest child,
The lovely blooming Spring. j
t
O ! how long must I be waiting,
. For the coming of the Spring?
.. When the flowers smile with tearful eye
At their awakening
A.nd the brooks shall dance so gaily,
To welcome back the Spring..
Cease, cease my heart thy pining,
Thy pining for the Spring !
For soon she'll come, and over all
Her fairest beauties fling,
So I'm looking for the coming,
The coming of the Spring.

'Twas in the autumn's dreary close,
A long, long time ago ;
The berries of the brier-rose
Hung bright above the snow,
And night had spread a shadow wild
About the earth and sky,
When calling me her orphan child, V f
She said that she must die.
She rests within the quiet tomb,
The narrow and the chill
The window of our cabin-home
Looks out upon the hill. t
O, when the world seems wide and wild-
And friends to love me few,
I think of how she lived and died,
And gather strength anew.

New Inventions.
Do scientific discovery and mechanical invention
promote human happiness 1 Some say that they
do not; that they are unfavorable to liberty, with
out which, human happiness cannot be permanent
or secure; that they promote monopoly, enrich the
few and impoverish the many, and thus render the
many the vassals of the few; that they diminish
the demand for and consequently the value of, hu
man labor, and thus impoverish and enslave the
laborer. And to prove all this, they refer to the
Chinese, who will not use modern machinery, be
cause it deprives labor of employment. We have
already intimated that, if progress be a law of hu
manity, discovery and invention are the results of,
that law, and therefore must be beneficial ; and
that if progress be not such a law, then man can
have no higher destiny, at least in this world, than
the lower animals, all of which are stationary, both
intellectually and morally.
Let us examine the condition of the Chinese.
If it be not better than that of progressive nations,
then the stationary policy does not deserve this
high commendation. And if it exhibit the same
evils which appear in progressive society, then
these evils are not imputable to progress, and con
servation is not their remedy. All accounts tell
us that monopoly, differences in condition, exorbi
tant wealth and excessive poverty, social discon
tent and disorder, and political rebellion, exist in
a greater degree in China, than in any other part
of the world excepting India. The poor of Can
ton and other large Chinese cities arc innumerable,
and their condition far below that of the poorest
in Europe. At the same time, fortunes may be
found in them which far exceed the most exorbi
tant in England, Austria, Russia, or any other
country of excessive wealth. Therefore the per
sistence of the Chinese in ancient customs, their
rejection of all improvements that save labor, have
not saved them from the very evils which their
eulogists ascribe to scientific discover and mecha-
1 nical invention.
Leaving the Chinese, let us compare the present
condition of the "masses" in Europe with their
condition in the middle ages. In the times of the
Crusades, even the nobilitv of England or France
were not so well taught, so well lodged, well clad,
well fed, as the majority of mechanics and traders
of the same countries at the present day. William
the Conqueror or Richard the Lion Hearted knew
not the luxury of a cotton shirt or silk stockings.
The cloths for their coats,' when they did not wear
j sheep-skins, would appear very coarse beside our
duffels 'and blankets. They dwelt in palaces,
which, for convenience, light, ventilation, warmth,
and other means of health, were far inferior to a
modern brick house of the first or second, or even
the third class. They were strangers to all the
refinements of modern cookery now common in
the dwellings of independent mechanics. Carpets
were unknown in England, even so late as the
reign of Elizabeth, whose royal floors were cover
ed with sand or rushes. Before the days of Magna
Charta, few of either Norman or Saxon nobility
could write their names, and not a few of them
could not read. The majority of peasants dwelt
in houses about equal to the modem mud-cabins of
Ireland, in comparison with which, the log houses
1 of our pioneers are palaces. As the compass was I
unknown, navigation was confined to coasting, and
therefore tedious and dangerous. As printing and
paper were unknown, books were confined to
parchment, and multiplied by the pen, and there
fore expensive and few. Agriculture was confined
to the spade, the hoe, the scythe, and the rude
plough, still extant in the most benighted parts of
Europe. Even the spinning-wheel was unknown,
and the loom was the rude contrivance long since

A gentleman, riding near the city, overtook a
young man, and invited him to a seat in his car-
rige.
" And what," said the gentleman to the young
stranger, "are your plans for the future 1"
"lama clerk," replied the young man, " and
my hope is to succeed, and to get into business for
myself." '
" And what next '!" said the gentleman.
"Why, I intend to marry and set up an .estab

"And what next?"
" Why, to continue in business and accumulate
wealth." "

Lockport, New York, it was his custom to go about
the village, and call upon the most prominent of
the citizens, especially the wealthy, titled and in
fluential, in order to invite them to attend his mee
tings, and give countenance and eclat to his labors.
In the course of his perambulations, one day, he
fell in with Bob S , an attorney of some re
putation, and very famous for his wit and readiness
of repartee. Good morning, Mr. S

be most happy to be employed on that side of the
case, if I could do so consistently with my engage
ments ; but you will have to go to some other

the heart betwixt this world and the next. And
in the brief interval of painful and awful suspense,
while we feel that death is present with us, we
are powerless and the last faint pulsasion here is
but the prelude of endless life hereafter ; we feel,
in the midst of the stunning calamity about to befall
us, that earth has no compensation to mitigate the
severity of our loss. But there is no grief without
some benificient provisions to soften its intenseness.
When the good and lovely die, the memory of their
good deeds like the moonbeams on the stormy sky,
lights up our darkened hearts, and lends to the
surrounding gloom a beauty so sad, so sweet, that
we would not, if we could, dispel the darkness that
environs it. Prentice.
About Cows.
Every one has felt the inconvenience of having
his cows calve during the night. In all seasons,
but especially in winter, this is an exceedingly an
noying, and not only demands continual useless
watching, on the part of the cow keeper, but very
often, indirectly causes the death of the calf and
its mother. Now it has been ascertained by a pcr-
son living in the neighborhood of Utrecht, that a
j cow with calf, milked for the last time at night in
! stead of in the morning, calves in the day and not
at night. Out of 30 cows on which the experiment
was tried, only three or four are mentioned by Mr,
Numon, Professor of Agriculture at Utrecht, as
being exceptions. As confirming the above state
ment, we may mention the fact, that a large far
mer in the Campine has also tried the same plan
with success. Flore des Serres.

The Confession of a Subscriber.
One of our subscribers came into our office a few
weeks ago, and asked what was the amount of
his indebtedness to the Jeffersonian. We told
him. He handed us the full amount, and said ;
" I have been taking the Jeffersonian three or four
years, have been pleased with it, and would like to
continue my name on your list as long as it is pub
lished, but times are hard, and money scarce ; I
find that I can hardly get along at all, so I .must
retrench by stopping your paper."
" Well," said we, " the sum is small a mere
trifle and your credit is good. But what will
your family do for a newspaper to inform them of
the day ? You dont want your children to grow
up in ignorance of what is going on among the
people of our country, as well as the whole world?"
" True," said he, "and there's the rub." My
family oppose my stopping it strongly. It reaches
us every Saturday, and in the evening our eldest3
daughter sits down while my wife is employed in
knitting or sowing, and I am toasting my feet by a
cheerful fire, after a day of hard toil) and reads a
loud one half its contents, and on the next eveninir
our eldest boy finishes, of course, we enjoy it very
much. When I told my wife my intention of dis
continuing the Jeffersonian, she said that she would
sit up till after midnight to knit stockings to pay
for it. But, poor woman, she works hard enough
now ! So I must stop it !"
" You know," said we, with a little warmth
" that you are able to pay, but there's no compul
sion about it so, here it goes," and off went his
name.
The circumstance would have forever been for-
j gotten, had it not been for the re-appearence of our

" Bad enough," was the response. "To be can

Danger of Re-Vaccinations.
We perceive that the late Dr. Fisher, of Boston
who is said to have paid attention to the subject of
vaccination, alleges that every person should have
the operation repeated, one or more- times, or untilj
the system ceaces to be effected by the virus.:
This might indeed succeed in extirpating the small
pox, but how much harm it would cause by com
municating various leprous affections from man ta
man, is past calculation. Many experienced phys
icians are far from considering vaccination an un
mixed good and mothers who know how liable
infants are to be attacked with ulcers, and other
scrofulous affections after vaccinations, except in
cases of great liability to the disease against which
it is intended to guard. It is the opinion of some
physicians, that a taint is often communicated to
the blood from unhealthy virus, which affects the
system through life. Physicians should be very
careful never to use the vaccine motter after it has
passed through the system of a scrofulous or other
wise unhealthy child.
Poisonous Breakfast Beverages.
Having seen some remarks in the adulteration4
of coffee in the Leader, I think a few words by one
who has been behind the curtain may be of use.
To begin with green tea, the system of facing, or
getting up, as it is called, is carried on to an ex
tent that few people would believe. Twelve or
fourteen years ago the facing was chiefly done by
the hand in Manchester, at least and the prin
cipal ingredient used was magnesia. Thi3 gave
place to Prussian blue, indigo, and Dutch pink.
Within the last few years various other deleterious
articles have' been brought into use, and the steam
engine is now made to do the work that was form
erly done by hand. When black tea is so much
damaged that it cannot be sold without disguise,
they at once set to work and make it into green.

( piumbago, ivory black, French chalk, and other
like substances, are used to lay a foundation fo"
the Prussian blue, etc.; and the quantity of those
powders used for that purpose is truly frightful.
The system of mixing and repacking is also carried
on to an enormous extent; and great is the ingenu
ity oiten displayed m making the chests look on-
! ginal. The new nails are often sprinkled with
salana water to maUe tnem iooic rusty. Ground
coffee (as most people arc aware) is quite as much
j adultcated as 4 l have remarks ma(e

1 principle article is chicory, which is itself mixed
! with every substance that can assimilate with it.
