lIALLEABLE GLASS.

There is stoay told by some of the an
Gent writer's, which, if true, shows how
eitectually arbitrary power can render mug
atory the ingenuity of man. While the
Emperor Tlberius WAS residing in the isle
of Caprse, he had occasion to employ a
skiliui architect, to perform very difficult
piece of work, which the artist, however,
accomplished with the greatest ease, much
to the astonishment Of the emperor and his
courtiers. Iberins, who was jealous Of
every man Of talents, caused the architect
TO be banished from the island, but not with
out comforting upon him munlhcent re-
ward for his abors. Anxious to regain the
emperor's favor, the banished man determ-
med 10 turn his skill in the mechanic arts
to that account. lie had discovered a
method of manufacturing glass of IA de-
scriptlon different from any other, and hav-
ing made vase of that material, OF The
most exquisite workmanship, he returned
to Capr9, with the intention Of presenting
it to fiberius, not doubling but that he
should thereby obtain his pardon. The
vase was presented to the emperor, in the
presence of his attendants, and was greatly
admired by all. In order TO display more
fully the excellence Of his work, the artist
threw the vase upon the ground, when in
stead of its being dashed to pieces, it was
merely hatened on the side that struck the
earth. If the behoders were astonished
at this, they were still more SO, when they
saw the artist take hammer and restore
the vase to its Rioal condition, thus
showing that the Slass of which ii was
composed was malleable. Tiberlus inquir-
ed of the artist if any one was acquainted
with the secret but himself, and on being
assured that he alone knew it, ordered him
to be led to instant execution He gave
as his reason for this inhuman conduct,
that manufacturer who could transmute
glass into so fine and durable form,
would have the effect of lessening the val
ne of brass and the precious metals, and
all knowledge Of it, therefore, had ought
to be destroyed.

HUMAN MOTIVE.

Hast thou gazed on the beautiful river,
Flowing on in its deep-hoowed bed?
And did fancy present to thee never
The spring whence its depths have been fed
The spring may be hid in the mountain,
Where nooniide's bright beams never fall,
Yet the spreading majestic river
Had its source in that fonnt lone and small.
So deep in the heart lie the causes
Which influence action and thought,
Can we ju &c by the deed, of the motiye'
All! human eye seeth itnot;
Oft The beaming smile of affection
Lights the countenance when in the heart
Bitter hatred bis force is preparing,
The spirit TO pierce with his dart.
And while thousands then gold are bestowing,
The poor and the suffering 10 aid,
Could some genius reveal their true motive,
Who won'd shrink rot al being betrayed
A desire for tha worlds alteration
Too oft, is the source whence proceeds
The highest best acts Of devotion,
The nobles benevolent deeds.
True broiherly love dof bat seldom
Her self-checking influence bend =
When she does, oh! how rich are her blessings;
I hen truly the poor find friend.
IT'S easy fom careless Observers,
Our motives and thoughts to conceal
But the eye which peryade;h creation,
The hearts inmost plhs can reveal.
Man judgeih by outward appearance
Too oft so deceitfa'ly fair
God eye views the spring of our actions
Lo! the bIackness of darkness is there

BLAsPHEMY.-A seperate celebration Of
the Fourth was got up by the Loco Focos
at the Chatham street Chape! in the city of
New York. And, as we learn from the
New York American, it was arranged that
the meeting should be opened by prayer by
the Rev. Mr. Van Pelt OF Staten Island
In consequence Of certain noisy demonstra-
tons, the Rev. gentleman declined, when n
prayer written for the occasion, was read
by a person present During the reading
ii was alternately applaudrd and hiss ed, as
its words echoed the sentiments OF various
hearers, or ran counter to their IDEAS oil
propriety. We venture to say that an ex-
hbrtion, so shockiugly blasphemons and
proiane, has never before dlsgraced the
celebration of our National Anniversary,
aud FOR the honor of the country, we hope
never to hear Of the repetition of such out
RACES. The findels of Tammany Hall are
becoming worse and more degraded than
the devoees Of the goddess OF Reason IN
Revolutionary France. They mock at the
Christian religion, and scott at the solemni-
zation Of its most sacred rites. They seek
the overthrow OF every thing that woGd
give permanency to our government, and
security to property, libery,-and even
life itself. And vet the same agrarians are
caressed and petted, and taken into full po-
liical communion by the present admins
tration. We ask the friends of law, OF or
der. and of religion, to ponder upon these
things, and reflect long before they lend
themselves indirectly TO promote such evil
influences.

THE POST MASTER GENERAL REBUKEI
BY THE SENATE.

The occurrence in the Senate, yesterday excites
considerable sensation. The Executive power,
whose long and arrogant arm has more than once
invaded the jurisdiction Of the Legislature, and
once attempted to defy the power of the Supreme
Court, was arrested, with spirit and unanimity
which augurs better things than we apprehended for
the dignity and independence Of the Senate Mr.
TALLMADaE, a month and half ago, introduced
resolution in the usual form, seeking information
from the Post Office Department, relative to certain
removals from Office since 4th March, 1887. This
long interval of time elapsed, Congress on the
point OF rising, and still the Post Master General
dsdained 10 respond to the humble request Of this,
the highest branch of the peoples Legislature. Still
desrous of obtaining the information before Con-
gress adjourned, and believing that the Senate had
right, by the law and the custom to ask il of Mr..
Kendall, the Senate passed the following resolution,
on the motion of Mr.. KALAMAZOO:
