Tell not the in- valid who is yearning after his dstant country, that the atmosphere around him is soft, that the gales are filled with balm, l and the flowers are springing from the green earth ;-he knows that the softest air l to his heart would be the air which hangs over his native land that more grateful than all the gales of the south, would breathe the low whispers of anxious affec- tion; that the very icicles clinging to his own caves, and the snow beating against his own windows, would be far more pleas- ant to his eyes, than the bloom and ver- dure which only more forcibly remind him how far he is from that one spot which is loo ks>E EsnN tao, Al,o Loa T. may, indeed, find estimable friends who will do all in their power to promote his comfort and assuage his pains but they cannot supply the place of the long known and the long loved, they cannot read, as in book, the mute language of his face {: they have not learned to wait upon his 4 habits, and anticipate his wants, and he has not learned to communicate, with- out hesitation, all his wishes, impressions, and thoughts, to them.

Now according to calculation made in work upon this subject, there are 1000 grains in pound weight, and every watch spring weighs a 10th of grain. 10000 watch springs, worth say $2 each, yield $14O,OOO, for the pound of iron, or rather for the labor expended upon il. .....
