I did not, then, think shame in stooping for it; and I forthwith placed it In its proper angle, the skirt of my coat." "Nothing bat a pin !" thought 1. "Yet this very pin may have helped Cline to have secured the bandage of the broken leg of that brave seaman, who kist now passed me, on the top of the Portsmouth coach ; when set straight—like that brave fellow's limb—it may with honest Jack, again see a little service; and as it once may have secured, it may once more secure the bosom.dress of one of the finest girls in London.

Dr. EADY respectfully calls the attention of those interested in his peculiar and most effectual method of cure, unlike the advertising empiric of the day, or the equally criminal conduct of those •• who hold the word of promise to the ear and break it to our hope." Dr. Eady will not pre miee to•pledge infallibility in every description of case, abut as as far as human aid, assisted b y medical and surgical . can be applied, he promises a certain, speedy, and perm. sent restoration ; having made every species of Syphilitic .

Innumerable in stances can be adduced illustrative of the superiority of Dr. Eady's systera. which had been found to prevail, eves where eminent talent, retained by public' institutions, had proved ineffectual.

Falling thus asleep—with a profound cogitation in my head.lt may not be surprising that it should be my lot " perchance to dream"—l dreamed a dream — and, in a vision of the night, a strange phenomenon appeared before my mental eyes. A spark, as it appeared at first, like a pin's point, by slow degrees, anti in a manner that allayed the emotions of a,re I should have otherwise experienced, expanded into a large and lambent flame, dear as the eketrie light. In the midst of ibis effulgence, a hu-' man figure seemed to (levelope itself in pliantasungo liCaurza ; advancing with familiar steps towards me, and beaming with a smile of complacency, re lieved me of, my embarrasments, and conciliated the attention which the figure had, not without alarm, excited. On lifting up my eyes, I beheld a velvet cap, shrowding a face with which I was not unac quainted ; for I had once copied the likeness of sack a cap, and such a face, from an engraving, and given it , to an old acquaintance. It was the cap and the face Of DT. FRANKLIN. The dress, the figure wore, was glittering, like a burnished coat of mail ; but as it approached, I could perceive by means of the vivid light, with which it was surrounded, that it was not of a homogeneous tex ture, as Dr. Johnson would have said,—it exhibited interstitial vacuities. It was composed, metbought I • quickly found, of heads of pins. In his right hand, the figure held a scroll, which unfolding• and descending near unto the flour, I dis covered Sy its dazzling contents, to contain, as in an appropriate paper, some dozen rows of pins. On look ing, however, on the side where I expected to have read the well known words " Citizen and Pin maker of London," I found to my satisfaction " Pools lit- CHARD'S AIMANAcK." In the voice of friendship, the spectre suddenly ad dressed me,—" Be not surprised at my unexpected ap pearance—l often pay a visit such as this : since I have been translated into my present state, I have hail more success in suggesting pregnant hints to inquiring minds, than I ever had while I was alive. Practical Utility, you find, is mud' more studied than it used to be, and if you are disposed to ilcvnte yourself to in quiries of a kind like that which occupied your mind when you fell asleep, yon will find I shall not be an idle companion of your nocturnal lionrs. " I readily excused th e thou g htlessness of the gipoy. girl, who threw away the pin, since her folly arose from her ignorance, and that ignorance from her age and situation. 'But as for yon, my dear Sir, who have possessed the opportulities of a liberal edncation, and are now advanced in life, I lament that you—with all the advantages you have enjoyed, are not a pin the the wiser ; yet, I must excuse you too— for I know that— " Alen are but children of a larger growth." " Let me therefore pin your attention for a few tut notes, to the article in question, and then I shall leave you to extend the application of what you sSall hear to any other thing you please. You may proceed from a pin to needle, or at i nail--to a screw!or to a watch, to &shirt, or to a shoe—to a loaf of sugar, or a loaf of bread—in short, to the contemplation of any, and of *eery article that is employed for the use of man." The phantom, then, directing at me a look of shrewdness, tempered with mildness—and waving, at me, his pin-sinck-almanack—after an emphatic pease proceeded— " This paper and these pins are trifling articles, of money value; yet both are the results of practical phi losophy—l mean not, however, to divert your mini, to the philosophy of proverbs,--1 wish to fix it at preteht to the other point—" the pin"--" the pin "This phi," said he, taking one out of Poor Ri chard's Almanack, " this pin is chitty composed of a material which had slept quietly ever since the tleluge, at the bottom of what is u!w called the copper mine, of Doicoath is 'Cornwall. which I understand 'ton Athsipted to explore in the as) of foui youth, ihiiffrinil yin know, What yo w u *vebtiilid Into it, e banve* More fatly Aare ago, ait moire that niter tired feet iu depth.

Here then in the very first process of the ohla substance of a pin, you saw what a number of people • were provided with bread. . • " But in order to extricate this substance from subterranean abode. it • watt necessary to remove a flood of water, which becomes collected ia every Ph ? • and which would. have overwhelmed the men *Ns might attempt to dig the ore. By what means mobil that removal be, offeeted By erase of that !alit' 1 dons *tete, 'Which was *tally nitheowle is the Ai tient*, and which as the philosopher of whom yaw pro fessed to have acquired theoretic knowledge, used to assert, in his predilections, was. next to a ship, the most complete machine that art or science had devised. This machine was originally invented by Captain Sa very, of Dartmouth; and, after having been improved gradually by others, was brought very nearly to the utmost extent of practicable perfection by (the not long deceased) James Watt, of Birmingham. In the factory for the construction of that engine, (by the side of whose works you cannot forget you descende:i down no less than fifty dreary ladders into the mine ;) you will please to consider that no fewer than thee thousand persons had been usefully employed, and SI , is factorily remunerated. 1 mean to make you mint-- stand that this number was employed merely in its manufacture, exclusively of those that were natmary for its conveyance. first to Liverpool, thence. tirok tol, and from which it was again reshipped and con veyed round the land's end to Truro; and then I wink you to think of the variety of seamen and landemen, ship-builders and inland navigators and all the other craftsmen and labourers, and furnishers of materials, who must be necessary to the transportation of salt a huge machine as this. "The substance which the steam-engine was en:- ployed to free, from water being extracted from the bowels of the earth. and then by various and anxiors processes, separated from the grosser rubbish that sa:- rounded it, its first excursion from its native soil, MO. coath, was to the town of Truro, to be .01.1 ra maw, under the character of copper•ore, for fe...e re operations. At this town every copper-merchant, or compaey of co;iper-merchants in the kingtiotn, it re presented Isy an assay-matter and an agent. At iner:- ings hell on purpose every month, these persons, hay ing previously e‘4lltilleil proper samples of the ore, ;tr ier the price they have determined, not to eat eta, 'in a written paper, s:•.al.ti vanil the highest iti.lcier moat them becomes the purchaser. t' It was the fate oft he copper of which this pin i irom posed, to be purchased for the Crown copper-company, at Neath, in Glamorganshire ; and the prec-ss of Ir osining it, by a critical sea-navigation, into o , at country, in order to he gradually purified and elabo rated, by means of fire, which its abundant prod.) -. Lion of coals, and its cheaper rate of labor, enalilr I them to do to superior advantage. now engaged the labors and diligence of multitudes of other 10(.7 sons—of mariners, of coal-miners, and coal-car riers—of inclined plane and rail road-rnakers—of diggers, inland navigators, agents, saperintendatits, &e. &c. with dependencies, and relations and conohln ations, without end. Among the mountains ~f Wal .s, then, this substance was divested of more of its esti ri neous matter, passed through fires of volcanic iriact tade, and terrific intenseness; and, at length, precipi tated, in a state of liquid fusion, through an iron col-. lender, into colt' -eater, assuming the name of pure rapper, and the form of shoe.
