Pohte Rensiniscence.-Dear Tom:
am calling in my debts, though, "like

have escaped your recollection.

business" said the man, "and | wish

THE iron chain hath bound him,
Which Mercy never broke;
The echoes sleep around him.
Which Gladness never woke;
No bright ray cheers his dungeon gloom,
Meet prelude to the darker tomb!
His young bride knelt imploIng--
They reck'd not Of her prayer;
His aged Sire was pouring
The plants of wild despair:
In vain-they dragged him TO his cell.
Scarce might he pause to breathe, FAREWELL
Yet calmly is he sleeping
On EARTH his only bed;
While armed guards are keeping
Their vigil Ger his head;
And voices through the midnight gloom,
And huIrying steps, proclaim his uooms
A tyrant's wrath enchains him
To die the death Of shame;
The only guilt that stains him
He bears Christian name;
That ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
So loa,h'd by him--so loved Of Heaven!
Now Joyous morn is breaking
Bright DER th' empurpled sky;
The feter'd captive waking,
Remembers death is nigh:
Yet his firm air, and placid brow,
Nor signs OF doubt, nor dread avow.
A quenchless hope shall cheer him,
In Natures weakest hour;
His Lord is ever near him,
With arm of matchless power:
And guilt may fear-or ialsehood fly
The faithful Christian dares TO die.
One prayer for her, the dearest.
His own beloved bride,
In peril's hour the nearest,
And 6rmest at his side:
Then on, without tear or sigh,
On to the scenes Of agony.
But soon shall he awaken,
On realms more bright and fair;
Here lope-though not forsaksn--
BY angels wecom'd there.
Where, Death, shall then thy triumph be,
And where, o Grave, thy victory?

INFORMATION FOR MANUFACTURERS.

and benefit of Manufacturers.
We have had very narrow escape from fire this
mo,nng 1t happened in consequence oil the feed
rolls 10 the Picker being clogged that the rolls
stopt, and consequently the cotton which was press
ed between the rolls, exposed 10 the friction of
the Beaters,* which were going at the rate OF 1900
turns per minute, and as you will readily perceive.
must produce fire almost instantly. The boy who
was attending it had the presence OF mind to turn
the rolls back, which eXtinguished the FIRE, but had
he turned them forward, the burnt cotton would
have been thrown into the receiving room, and our
Factory would now have been in ashes. The man-
ner in which our feed rolls turned, is, the under
roll is carried by pulley, and the upper one Is
weie he'd down upon that. We shall Immediately
alter ours SO that both of the rolls shall be separate
|ly gearee, which will prevent recurrence OF
lsmar accident. 1t Is decidedly my opinion that
pickers do not take fire from the gudgeons, has
been supposed, but in the manner above mentioned;
and that the feed rolls should be geared that they
could not stop in consequence OF bling too much
crowded with cotton.

length, and resembles lamprey ell
II has but one fin, which runs nearly the
whole length of the body, and serves for
a rudder. In order TO try the effect Of a
shock on fish, one was put into the tub
which contained the eel; on its coming
in contact, it was thrown up about two
feet, and when it fell was perfectly life

aiming this singular animal, says that
he received three or four severe shocks
on touching it.
