A Delightful Scene.

We understand that Capt. Moore, Of
the United States Navy, recently for the
first time since bis station at this place,
shipped a crew on board his vessel. At
night, he informed them that he was in
the habit of reading his Bible every
night, and if they choose they might
Join him; and all, with one accord,
came forward, so that the open skylghts
above the cabin were surrounded with
heads, intenlly listening to the voice of
their commander, as he read the word
Of life. He then commended them to
God, and bid them good night. Soon
after, there came along pleasure boat.

some of the crew sung ont, "Captain

he, strike the next verse" So they all
struck it, and sung the following verse
with great enthusiasm, and the compli
ment was returned from the boat with
waving of handkerchiets. &c. As the
boat, passing round again neared the
ship, the sailors called out, Captain. we
know the Missionary Hymn" "Well.
then, sing H." he replied. So they
struck up, at the top of their voices

died recently, at the age of 100 years.
He with two other brothers bought o.

THE LOST ARTS OF THE ANCIENT E.
eYPTIANs.-1fth the Thebans, 1900 years
before Christ, knew less in some depart
ments Of useful knowledge than our
selves, they also in others knew more.
They possessed the art of tempering
copper tools so as 10 cut the hardest
granite with the most minute and brilli-
ant precision. This art we have lost.
Again what mechanical means had they
to raise and fix the enormous imposts
on the linteis of their temples at Kar-
nae! Architects now confess that they
could not raise them by the usual me-
chanical powers. Those means must,
therefore, be put to the account Of the
"lost arts" That they were familiar
with the principle of Artesian wells has
been ate y proved by engineering in
vestigatons carried on while boring for
water in the Great Oasis. That they
were acquainted with the principle Of
the railroad is obvious, that is 10 say,
they had artificial causeways, levelled,
direct, and grooved, (the grooves being
anointed with oily for the conveyance
from great distances of enormous
| blocks of stone, entire stone temples,
and colossal statues of half the height
Of the monument. Remnants of iron, it
is said, have lately been found in these
grooves. Finally, M. Arrago has ar
gued that they not on y possessed a
knowledge Of steam-power, which they
employed in the cavern mysteries Of
their Pagan freemasonry, (he Oldest in
the world, of which the pyramids were
the lod dges,) but that the modern steam
engine is derived, through Solomon dc
Caus, the predecessor of Worcester.
from the invention of Hero, the Egyp-
tian engineer-W Westminster Review.

True Philosophy.

Last Saturday, during the severc
rain, lady passenger in the stage run
ming between Nazareth and Philadcl
phia, discovered her band box on tho
top of the coach, unp protected and dren
ched with rain. To the surprize of c
very one she gently begged that !
might not be forgotten by the driver
as it contained a valuable new bonne;
Very soon the stage was in motion, bu
a passenger, in attempting to pull dow
a curtain, threw both the Inflated band
box and heavy leather trunk into tn
road The lady owner expressed som,
surprize, and smilingly regretted the oc
currence. The stage was stopped an,
found the trunk had fallen upon the toI
Of the handbook and crushed it, bonne
and ribbons, in the mud Now an out
break was expected, but not an lima
tured word followed mot an audib,
murmur. She smiled with others
the misfortune, but no indignant word
or looks were visible. Here was
band box crushed and a new bonnC
spoiled "What severe trial for
lady's temper" said one. "What a
admirable wife such woman woul
make" said another. Unfortunatel
it was found upon inquiry, that she W;

THE VETO.

When Johnny Bull demands Mac Cloud,
And struts and stamps, with language loud,
The Foo will have to Shefe o;
And Uncle Sam, upon my life,
Will reason with Bowie knife,
And stab him with veto.
When Uncle Sam asked Pa,ley Vous,
To pay him up the spois then due,
The merchants loss to meet o;
SAYS he, If you don't answer me,
I'll grease you with old Hickory,
And slap on you veto.
When Uncle Sam courting went,
Miss Caroline gave consent,
And smiled her lord to meet O.;
But soon the breeches she would toat,
On him she put a petticoat,,
And choak'd him with veto.
Wiener see a lady fair,
Just married, pull her husbands hair;
And him with passion greet O.;
I'm apt to think she rules the roast,
And lickles him with tea and toast,
Made up into a veto.
When behold dandy brave,
S,op'd by his tailor on the pave,
So beautiful and neat o.:
If he should say, I've got no "qtiils,"
cannot sign these bankrupt b,Ns,
I'll swear that is a veto.
Ifto the Bar poet goes,
To wet his throat and warm his toes,
No cash the wine 10 meet o;
If then hear the words-"you must
Pay up, can no longer trust"
Oh Lord, that is a veto.
When to a lady fair you bow,
And breathe her many tender vow,
And get in love so sweet o;
If she should say, you are fool,
And point you to pubic school,
All that's a matchLess veto.
One day lady with fop,
In South, near Market, chanced to drop
Her hustle in the street O;
The boys, all gathering round to grieve,
Swore twas the snake that tempted Eve,
But no twas Natures veto.
