IRON CARRIAGE WHEELS.

c. Hoxie, of the city of Hudson, has been enga-
ged number OF years in making an improvement
in carriage wheels; which consists in the rims and
spokes being made of wrought iron, and the hob Of

1t is impossible for spoke ever to get loose of
course they strong and very durable the weight

The inventor being DESTROYS Of having them
generally introduced, invites the attention of fur
mace companies, manufacturers of iron, and such
as may feel disposed to purchase privilege for ma
king those wheels. There can be doubt but such
an establishment would be lucrative TO the owners,
and beneficial TO the public, also an Article ofex-
tensve expectation. 1t is believed that but few
years will roll away, before wooden wheels for car

SHIP TIh1RER.

The following is summar; Of an article which
appears in the Mobile Advertiser the statements in
which are of great importance TO naval concerns,
as respects the article OF ship timber THE writer
suggests TO lhe government Of The u States 10
employ one OF two of vessels OF was, IN scour-
ing the Atlantic coast, and accommodating the har-
bors Of Florida-he proposes 10 employ another in
the Guph coast Of that territory, and to make rigid
enquiry of all vessels freshted with timber He
states that the naval timber there growing, and be-
longing to the government, is rapidly diminishing
--hat the live oak, red cedar and locust trubers
are objects of very great regard TO private ship
owners n the United States and in Europe The
government property is now suffering the most
extensive depredalions, and incalcuable injury is
inflicted on the country--Vessels OF small burden
make their way into the harbors Of the uninhahe4
part of the coast, and ship such csrgoes, without
ever thinking Of payment. II is notorious That
goes Of this timber are constantly shipped from the
ports of Alabama and Florida bound TO Europe as
well as ports of the United States, and it is
than suspected, that many of these cargoes, pur-
porting to be for northern PORTS have found theft

When captives in foreign land,
Judea's mourning Ministries were
: Their harps they hung with trembling hand
Upon the willows growing there.
lWheir tongues; no song of Joy could raise,
! While slaves to Babel's naughty king;
Nor could they tune those harps to praise,
Till lions walls could hear them sing.
Their streaming eyes to beav'n were turn'd, /
! For rescue from that pow'rful hand
God, while their wretched state they mourn'd,
Resor'd them to their native land.
So Greeks in Moslem bondage lie,
Oppressed with slavery and wo;
And to the Lord of Hosts they fly
For refuge from Barbarian foe.
We pray, 0 Lord, from heav'n engage,
Thy boundless pow'r their foes to quell;
And snatch them from the stormy rage
Of threat'Dlng waves that proudly swell.

There is an extensive desert in the territory Of
the United States west of the Mississippi, which is
described iu Longs "Expedition to the Rocky
Mountains" 1t extends from the base Of the Rocky
Mountains 400 miles TO the east, and is 500 miles
from north to south There are deep ravines in
which the brooks and rivers meander, skirted by q
few saunted trees but all the elevated surface is
barren desert, covered with sand, gravel, pebbles
sc. There are few plants, but nothing like tree
to be seen on these desolate plains, and seldom is
a living creature TO be met with. The Platte, the
Arkansas and other rivers flow through this dreary

ORIGINAL ANECDorE.

ApecuIia,ity generally attributed to the yankeeS,
is thai Of answering question BY asking another ;
and numerous anecdotes related prove that il
exclusively belongs to them. But whoever has
travelled south, must have noticed that it is quite
common among our southern brethren-whom by
the way, Europeans call yankees--as it is at home
in New England. That this peculiarly is there,
indeed, happily blended with some others, the fol-
lowing anecdote will illustrate.
A gentleman passing through one Of the south
ern states, and wishing to know the distance to a
lneighboring house, inquired of planter, who was
