We learn by a gyullenon. who came down the
Rad Road yesterday evening from RidgcvIe that
the storm on Monday night last was much more Sc
were to the west than IN the ncS hborhood of this
city. The snow at Fllicott, Mills, fcll about SIX
inches deep, and at Syhsylle, Thirty miles distant
on the Ran Road from Baltimore II was twelve
inches deep and drtted into very high banks
trees were alsoby the violence of the wind in Sc
veral places, blown across the road These oh
struttlons prevented the cars which left Baltimore
on Tuesday morning from reaching the ridge until
about five O'Clock IN the evening.
Soheavy fall Of snow at so early a period in
the season. had not been anticipated and our intor-
mant states that no snow ploWs had been placed at
the depots Of the Company along the line of the
Railway, which added to the difficulties of getting
the cars along BY extraordinary cxcrtlons how
ever on the part of the agents OF the Company, the
unexpected impedmcnts SO suddenly thrown in the
way OF travelling were all removed along the whole
line olthe road before night, and the passage is
now clear and unobstructcd.

MANUFACTURE OF GLASS. II NAV interest
many four country readers, and not inprobably
some IN the city, to be acquainted with the pro-
cess OF making glass. We believe Crown
glass is made at no other establishment in
America than the one here but there are sew
eral for the production of cylinder glass and of
this latter it will be our purpose more particu-
larly to speak.
The pots in which the several ingredients
are melted, have the form of drinking glasses,
and are made OF a peculiar kind of clay sui.
hciently large TO contain $50 pounds Of the
mixtures to be melted. The materials used
are sand, potash, salt, lime, ashes, chip-glass,
&c.
The sand and ashes are calcned or kept at
red heat five or six hours to expel moisture,
car5onic acid and some foreign ingredients
They are sllted and all the substances Uniform
ly mixed together. The furnace, having the
pots arranged In two rows, is raised to white
heat before the mixture TO be melted is put in,
which requires three weeks, or a month. The
furnace has two fire places one at each end
After i. is raised to desired degree of heat, q
fireman takes two sticks of wood, puts one in
TO one fire place, walks round the furnace, and
puts the other into the other fire place, and re-
peats 1t continually. thus keeping a uniform
heat. The vitriiable materials melt in "a, or
30 hours
There is one blower, and boy or apprentice
to each pot. The blower has pipe, which is
rod, like large cane, with an orifice through
1t, the ends OF which are iron. He dips one
end of the pipe into the melted glass a guam.
tity adheres; he moulds this with an iron Tor
the purpose If necessary, and flows into the
melted mass, till it is swollen TO the circumfer.
ence required lie then swings it, blowing anC
turning II at the same time, which forms it into
cylinder. The boy takes it, and pours colo
water upon the part in contact with the pipe
which immediately breaks off
The next operation 10 called cappling, whicl
is cutting off the upper end of the cylinder
This IS done by taking little melted glas
from the pots on rod, which by pair Of pin
GERS is drawn into a thread, and put round tn
upper part of the cylinder which cracks it o
leaving both ends alike. A red hot iron is the
drawn in straight line repeatedly from end /
end, and by moistening it with the finger
cracks; 1t is then laid by for flatiening TIL
glass Is afterwards heated in an oven till il be
comes flexible il is placed upon a flat sion,
and spread open, and pressed down upon Il,
stone. The cylinder is now converted into
PLAIN surface, which is nnnealed and cut int
panes of glass and boxed up for market.
Ia mandatory having furnace with to
pots, from 200 10 1000 boxes per month n,
made This Is continued nine months in a yea
three months being occupied usually in maxim
repairs. Thus one factory usually sends
market 5000 boxes per year. The FOREIGN art
clio is excluded from the market, and the prit
OF the American glass has been reduced tw
thirds in IL years.

TO PERSONS JUST COMMENCING
A RELIGIOUS LIFE.

l.. Remember that the commencement of
tho Christian life is to be like the "dawning
light, which increaseth more and more TO
the perfect day" Therefore when the
hope of peace and pardon dawns in the
heart do not consider the great business as
accomplished, but only begun.
z. do not expect SO sudden and remark
able q change, as to leave no doubt of its
reality. Did religion enter the soul in per-
lection, and to the entire exclusion of sin.
the change would be so marked and obvious
as to leave no room to doubt But usually
the Christian character is full of .contrarie-
ties. There is a perpetual struggle be-
tween good and evil, and thus continual
competition of evidence for and against, ac-
coriing as the good or evil prevails.
.. Evidence OF piety is not so much to be
sought in high emotions of any kind, as in
real humility, self-distrust, nungering and
thirsting after righteousness, sorrow for sin,
and continual effort, in every day life, to
regulate our thoughts, feelings, and conduct
by the word of God. 1t is the nature and
not the degree of our affections which are to
be regarded in the examination of our evil
dences. Some persons are SO constituted,
that they are not susceptible of very strong
emotions, any more than other subjects that
interest the mind. The best way to know
our feelings, is to see how they influence
the conduct. :" By their fruit ye shall know
them'' sa
/ a. Dc not o~pect Co dud in your own case,
every thing you have heard or read of in
the experience of others. For it NAV be

Firm union of heart and heart

And summon her light in vain
10 scan the ttcdin that must still be one
The one that will be tlUain
The beat of this bosom forbears to reach

Through the breast of his brother flows!

As the points of double dart
And the Joy lit up by single spark

In clay of the human mould
But greater mystery all must still, .
In the union of souls behold

In heavenly concord bound
And who DER one but finger filings,
Awakens you both to sound
But, what do you do when your slumbers come
When we've sweetly sunken to rest
Do your spirits side by side, fly home,
Still linked to your mothers breast?
Did we ever dream that your bond was broke
mat ye were asunder thrown
And how did ye feel at the severing stroke,
When both were for ever alone
No-ye would not think of yourselves apart,
Even in fancy's widest mood,
FOR, each would seem tut broken heart
And the world solitude
Dear youths, may your lives be howery way
And watched by your Makers eye!
May both at the close one call obey

That far beneath me dimly lies,

That sweep the clouds along the skies;
They have language for mine ear

How ike the smiles that Grief may wear
Ere Death has loosed the spirits chain,
And swept the shadowy veil of care
Far from the oppressed and fever'd brain.
Oh, in this twilight of the year,
How many stern mouitions lie:
What voices for the listening ear
What sights. for the attentive eve!
From vale. and stream, and forest dim,

Sad nature breathes her vespe. hymn

Then Memory gathers from the Past

Recalls the hopes, toe bright to last,
That thrilld the breast, in DAYS Of yore;

The soul forgets the present scene,
Her wing returns, with freshness fraurht.
