IMPORTANCE OF CnEMIsrRr.-You will allow
that the rendering dies nsoluble in water, by
combining with them the astringcn, principle
of certain vegetables, is a chemical invention,
and that, without leather, our shoes, our car
ringes, our eqnpaees, would be very i'll made !;
you will permit me TO say, that the bleaching
and dying OF wool and silk, cotton and flax are
chemical processes, and the conversion Of
them into different cloths is a mechanical inven-
ton that the working Of iron, COPPER, tin and
lead, and the other mctals and the combining
them i'll different alloys, by which almost all the
instruments necessary for the turner, jo ner
the stone mason, the shp-builder, and the smith,
are made, IRE chemical inventions even the
press, to the influence of which am disposed
to attribute as much as you can do, could not
have existed in any state Of perfection without
4 metallic alloy the combining of alkali and
sand, and certain clays and flints together, to
form glass and porcelain, is chemical process
the colors which the artist employs to frame
rescmbiances of natural objects, or to create
combinations more Beautiful than ever existed
in nature, are derived from chemistry in short
in every branch Of the common and fine arts, in
every department of human industry, the inlu
ence Of this scien-e is felt, nd We may find in
the fable of Prometheus taking the fame from
Heaven to animate his man of clay, an emblem
of the effects of fire in its application to chem
zeal purposes in creating the activity and al
most the life Of civil society.-Sir Humphr,
Darys Last Day eta Philosopher.

BUYING GOODS ASLEEP.

priety of putting down the hero as u Duchman
seeing that the knickerbockers and the Sahlaf
cnschIagers have a, prcscriptive right Of snoo-
ling wbensoever and whci esoever they please
A fat descendant of one of the old Dutch
burghcrs Of this goodly city, was awhile ago at
tending auction sale. Every body knows at
these sales nod is taken for II bid. Very soon
after tho sale commenced, tho Dutch merchant,
VINO had sci up late ut "a row. dc .dow the night
before fell into Il comfortable snoozo in which
condition, as pc pc are apt to do who sit and
sleep, he kept
Nod, nod noddn1."
The auctioneer, surprising he was buying goods
all the while, knocked down several Thousand
dollars worth in his name. The sale was closed
aud the Dutchmnn, unconscious Of having made
any purchases, rubbed his eyes and returned
home. 1t may well be supposed then, that he
was prodigously nStonished the next morning,
when bill Of goods as long as his arm, purport.
ing 20 have been purchased by him the day before
was sent 10 him.

Come. speed the cup-why stands it there
When moments fast are flying,
And every moment still must bear
A tribute deep to sighings
Oh! pain and thought are found below,
So closely twin'd together,
That each kindred fate must know.
And both must die. or neither
Then speed the cup,--rhe hapless ay
Within It's purple ocean,
Should we but give him time to dry,
Would spring to life and motion;-
And gloomy care must lie as deep
Beneath food unfailing,
For should the cup an insi ant sleep,
Twould all be unavailing.
Though Lethes food oblivion gave,
Yet gloom and fogs beset it,
And all who wish'd it's dreamIess wave
Must visit hell to get it.
But here, oblivion brightly flows
Within crystal border,
While hell and all beyond-sea woes
Are left to further order
Then speed the cun-why stands it there
While moments fast are flying,
And every moment still mus bear
A tribute dsep 80 sghnr, T.
