WRITING MATERIALS.

The most ancient writings of which we
have information were upon hard substan.
ces,-stone, brick, metals, wood. The
Decalogue was engraved on stone. In
Greece, Italy, and Egypt, marble, brass,
and wood, were used for historcalrecords,
monumental inscri ptions, laws and trea.
ties. Hesod wrote OH leaden plates.-
The ancient Chinese used wooden tables,
as did the Greeks before Homer's time
Afterwards, their plates of wood were
coated with wax. and written with the 'Sty-
lus. These tables were used by Roman
boys at school. According 10 Plautus,
one Of the boys used one to break the
schoolmaster's head.
They were snmetimes fastened together,
forming book, or coder, from resem-
blance to The trunk of tree. Hence the
term code.
The edicts Of the Roman emperors; Sc
nate, and magistrates. were on plates 81
ivory.
Leaves of trees or plants were written
upon also, particularly in the East Hence
the origin of the phrase, "the leaves OF a
book" "'the Sibyline leaves" tolios,
&C., from tolum. Linen also was used,
as is seen in the wrappers Of mummies.
The bark Of trees was afterwards used,
and is still common in Asia. The inner
bark, or iber, was used; whence the La.
Tin "libcr," book. and the English "li-
bary." A libary altogether of bark, was
recently discovered in Russia. The Sax
ons use the bark of the beech; and from
"boc," the Saxon for beech, came our
word book.
Next was used the papyrus of Egypt;
whence our word paper. This is kind
of rush, growing in narsly places. 1t
was used not only for paper, but for ma
king cloth, ropes, lamp-wicks, and boats.
Moses was placed by his mother in an ark,
or boat, made Of il. To make paper, the
outer rind was pcaed off, and the inner
coats, or layers beneath, were placed
crosswise, moistened, pressed, dried,
smoothed, and polished. Rice paper is
made similarly, from the flmy membranes
of the bread fruit tree.
Parchment and vellum were afterwards
introduced, the former made of sheep

UNCLE IKE'S PONEY.

Ofall the tarnation creeturs that ever cum
into this world jest for a plague, our Un-
Gle Ike's poney was leetle o. the outda-
shesl!-Silch a haw-hawin' as Jim Cor.
kins' boys used to set up, when Uncle
Ike tried to turn him round their corner,
so as to get him down the lane, was eau.
ton to skreech-owls. Old Marlue Jen-.
kins said that it put her in mind Of one.
Mister Spanler that she'd hern tell on, that
had his hoss's tail tore ri ght smack out on
account of his bein' too obstroperlous;
but Uncle Ike alwas reckoned that his boss
couldn't be cured without it was driu in.
Uncle Ike never could, somehow or no
ther, git fairly mounted, but the sarpent
would back rite agin the fence, and rare
up like hay-stack. "You darned ever
lastin creetur,' says Uncle Ike, "why on
airth cam, you 60 ahead jest as easy as to
go agin that are fence!' And then Uncle
Ike would git of and give him pooty
considerable smart hidin', but he wouldn't
dars too gi, on him agin, cos he'd run
when he got licked for about half day,
jest like mad bull arter streak o. light
MIN, and Uncle was leetle afeared, at
stitch times, of gi!Lin' his head works
knocked all to squash. And he was jest
as ugly as sin, in harness, and Uncle Ike
said, that if he warnt a family boss, a
kind O. air loom. he 'ud got rid OH him
long ago, cos there warnt no doin' nothin'
with him, no how. So there warnt bu,
one feller down about our parts that could
cum it over the poney, and that feller was
Joe Beadle, he that used to court Jane
Virgins, and he could manage that crit
Ter jest as easy as whisllin'. Wal, Il cum
out one night that there was to be dance
down in the Town Hall, and Betsey John
son, Joanny Rogers, Keziah Taylor and
a hull blin' O. gals, allowed that they had
determined 10 60. So they raked and
scrapcd about TO git fellers, and Kesiah
she pitched upon Joe, cos she wanted 10
rile Jane Virgins, for tellin' Aunt Sukey
that she (Keziah) had 10 borry pair Of
slockins to 60 to George Ri|ey's weddin
| in. Wal. Joe agreed to hitch on, cos he
sort o. kalkkilated that Jane would git
that town fellow, Dick Wilson, that sol,
lin the Deacon's pew the Sunday afore.

Navy. Yard in Charlestown, is said to be
she most perfect establishment of the kind
inthe world. 1t is one thousand feet long,
with granite walls, slate roof and iron
window shutters. The work is alone with
an enormous steam engine, by which the
hatcheling, dressing. spinning, and almost
every other operation in making rope
or cable, is done. About one hundred of
the spinning, shatchelling and dressing
machines are iu one room, in operation by
steam, BY the spinning of hemp in a

for sartain sure.-So there was aH.6red
prime slayin' and Joe went down to Ka-
ziah's and tackled up their spankin' Bill,
and got in and sot off Dick stood out
for the poney, and Jane jlned itwilh him,
tho Uncle was dreadful unwilhn', but as
there was two agin one, he at last gin in,
howsomdcyer he told 'em aforehand, that
he shouldn't mite wonder if they both
cum hum missin'. So they rigged out
and went off pooty darned fierce, slicked
rite street past Bets Johnson's team and
beat Joe Beadle all to nothin'. Lor! Col.
ly! didn't Jane pass up and look as big as
all out doors when they rid, past Keziah,
and didn't Keziah look rite stret ahead,
jest as tho there warn't nothin' happen
in. They went on al pooty smart jog,
till they cum up to Squire Collins mills,
and there was an old burnt trunk, that laid
kind o. slantendiklar along the road. At
sight o. that the poney skeered and hauled
street up. "Hullo, you varmint git up!"
says Dick" darn we if you don't I'lf
wollop ye;" and he did wollop him, first
right and then left, then both hands, Till
he got reg'larly tuckerod out, and all of

The whip and laid it on to the crtter like
Thanksgivin' into punkin pies: jest then

and stitch time us they had was warn
in to strangers. Joe Beadle undertook TO
cut round Dicks team hansum, but the
old critter sheered off, upset the slay, and
out went Joe and Kesiah chewallop into
the sIow bank. Bets Johnson's slay got
into the same rut, and they went out head
over heels along side. The poney started
10 run off, knocked over Dick Wilson,
and tore one leg: of his trowserloons clean
off cotched the slay up agin pile O. plank,
knocked it into cooked hat, and tore for
hum like all natur. As for Dick, he heard
one of the boys hint that his trowserloons
was made for somebody with one leg,
as he picked himself up and scattered af-
ter the poney. Keziah's bonnet got
smashed into a picker o. misery, and she
lost one shoe into The bargain, but at last
they all got slowed away agin. and Jane
got into Bets Johnson's slay, and OF they
went to the ball; but the hull story had
got there afore 'em, and when they go.
in there was a general snickerin', till
byme by one long nose feller at the top
of The hall, haw-hawed rite out, and
then so on one arter another chock down

FOR THE JOURNAL.
AN1BITION.


AMBI iioN! Is it q name2 The shadow
OF dream distempered? Ask the wide void.
Men feel its instincts flaming in their hearts,
Like torches lit by Natures hand, and placed
Along the path that ieadoth to the grave: s"
Or us the fell simeon that parcheth up
All virtue and its enterprise fast from @
The desert pilgrimage of life. ~.
- There was
A soldier harnassed for the field, who shook
His untried falchion with the nerve Of youth,
Determined on the stake of victory,
Or death. Ambition showed him burning towns
And laurels twined with gold, till mad for spoil,
He rcned his Barb o'er helpless widows hearts;
And on their orphans, still more destitute.
Death met the Hero in the shock of arms,
The true steel fell upon the glittering casque,
Down to the dust the headess horseman rolled,
A horrid, foul, and bloody corse =
There was
A fair haired boy, his mothers only hope,
And she i widow. Life's stormy troubles
Had his cradle rocked. But they could not quenct
The taper light that burned within his soul.
Ambition came before him in his dreams,
Radiant with s,uies and led him to the cave,
With gems and precious store Of science filled.
Long did he toll that mine to reach. His books
No suited key rcveulcd-no seasarne,
Though oft lio sought it by that midnight lamp
Whose feeble ray the morning beam put out.
Death ptied these sufferings premature;
The secret tear, the fevcrsh agony
Of hope deferred. The King of Terors dire
His man at arms, Consumption, sent, 10 lay
The lamp of life Aickcred away.
There was
A rich old miser tottcring on the grave
That he had wished to stop with palaces
OF gold. And to his door there chanced to come
A beggar, abject, furnished and sore.
Ambition spurned the wretch to die;
And babe Old Dives search his Golfers o'cr
Within his vaults to lock himsef until
His unexpected tomb they should become.
What tempts the child Of nature from the folds,
And safe protection of her fathers cot,
To ape the fashion of the town and seize
The baited hook that vice allurng plies
To angle and cnsparc the Lcman's heart?
What makes the being who was upward eyed,
Fearless US his brother seraph, and was
The bosom friend of God, PASSIONS base slave,
Who can, his purposes to compromise,
Flatter, and fapn, and chew the cud, and bend
The oiled knee to dust and ashes vile
To worms, and himself worm? Ambition!
Death spared the harvest Of the earth to reap
In sudden wo, but round lifc's strcamlet reared
The poisoned Ups of Ambition. Thus
Human disease aud care are of its fruits;
And thus tho world is filled with new made graves

THRILLING SCENE.

The N. Orleans papers of the 10th give an
account OF scene which occurred i'm court on
the 9Th, which must have been thrilling in
the extreme. An individual named Geo. A.
Hamilton had some days before been convic-
ted offorgery. When called up to be SEN
fenced, the usual question was asked as to
what he had to say before sentence should be
passed. TO this he replied in an address of
an hour in length, in which he endeavored to
show that he was the victim of conspiracy,
and that he was entirely innocent of the
charge. The Judge replied to him, that his
remarks had failed to make any other impress
sion than that of pity for his situation, and
the still stronger belief that he was guilty. of
the charge. The Judge then sentenced him
years to the penitentlary. Just at this mo-
ment, some gentleman exclaimed, she has
knife in his hand," and before he could be
prevented he plunged it into himself in two
places, once in the abdomen and once in the
region of the heart. He soon tainted from
loss of blood, and was taken to private a.
partment, followed by his wife who had sat
by him during the trial. Physicians exam
med and dressed the wounds, and ascertain
ed that they were not necessarily fatal.
