WORCESTER Coal. The experiments which
have been recently made are fast dissipating
whatever doubts might have remained, of the
goodness of the mineral coal dug in this town.
Capt. Thomas has fitted up stove for burn
ing it in his bar room, where, for about week
past, he has not used particle of any other
fuel, and has had as handsome and as good
fire as ever witnessed of either the Lehigh
or the Schuylkill coal. OF those who have seen
it, the most sceptical are entirely convinced
Arrangements are making for bringing it into
more general use.
We visited the mine a few days since, and
found that the opening had been carried into
the hill sixty feet or upwards at descent of
about 25 degrees. 1t is about 10 feet wide by
8 high A railway is laid, on which the coal
is drawn from the mine in cars, and carried to
place Of deposit in loads CT about 1900 pounds
each. Should the coal answer our present ex-
pectations, railway will undoubtedly be con-
structed during the next season from the mine
into the village. a distance OF two miles, where
it will meet landing on the Canal. The route
for railway is very favorable, having but a
small ascent any part of the way.
Since writing the above, we learn that sever
al persons have had their stoves fitted for burn.
ing this coal, intending to make constant use
Of it. The success with which its use will
be attended, will depend much upon the good
construction Of the place where it is TO be
burned. When the Lehigh and Schuylkill coal
were first brought to Philadelphia, people were
not aware Of the difference between the an.
thracte and bituminous Goals, and attempted
to burn it in CRATES prepared for the latter
The i'll success attending their efforts, induced
them to abandon it, and created prejudice
against the coal which it took long time to
overcome 1t has, however, regained its good
standing in public estimation, and those who
now use it would not, for any trfing considera-
ton, be induced to exchange it for any other
fuel.

FEMALE INFLUENCE.

Every where throughout the circle of her intercourse, her influence is to be felt like the dew of heaven, gentle, silent and unseen; yet pervading and efficient. But in the domestic circle its power is to be concentrated and is to be like the life-gi- wing beams of the sun; awakening, illus trating, and almost creating the moral as- pect ofthe scene. To speak first of the filial relation--none can conceive how much a daughter may promote the comfort and the moral benefit of her parents, but who have seen the female character exhib- ited under the influence of an enlightened understanding and an improved heart :; which by their mutual action, have produ- ced the most extended views of duty, with the strongest desire to fulfil it. As sis- ter,a female may exert the most important influence. With no strong counteracting circumstances, she may give what features she please to the moral and intellectual character of those with whom she is con- nected in this relation. All the sweet en- dearments of mutual affection and confd- ence, will give weight to her infuence.- An intelligent,hig aiming female, ,ofa well disciplined mind and pious heart, has been known 60 give much higher cast of char acter, attainment, and condition to a large circle of brothers and sisters, than they O. therwise would have received. But it is as mother that woman has all her powers with which the munifcence ofsher Divine Benetactor has endowed her, matured to their highest perfection, and exercised in their greatest strength.

BY THE LATE MIR. EDGwoRTH


 con fine day in the beginning of sum- mer, when the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, when the glasses on both sides of the coach were by tacit consent left open, and when neither the weather nor the road were such as to occupy the attention of my fellow travellers, they by degrees, entered into conversation, and a. mongst various subjects, at last we fell up- on that of physiognomy. A thin, pale man, who had the air of traveller, told US, that he had lately been to Zurich, where he had been well acquainted with the famous Lavater. He spoke of him & of his art, with so much warmth, that at first began to suspect that we had got Law ater himself in the coach. l however, soon perceived by the accent with which he pronounced French, ,that he was an En- glishman.-He mentioned various strange opinions, which his master had not ven- tured to put into his book, but which were still more absurd than his attributing char acter to dish of tea, and physiognomy to cockchaffer. At these ridiculous fan cies, fat, fair lady, who sat in one corner of the coach, laughed most hartily. 'How is it possible,' said she, 'that dish of tea can have characterl I have heard say, that cup of coffee, may have virtue in une-tellIng-indeed I once had cup of coffee turned upon myself, and it cer- tainly was not much out, as to my fortune: -and then cockchaffer l!
