A dandy, who wanted the milk passed
to him at one of our taverns, thus asked
for it.: "Laudlady, please pass your cow
down this way" To whom the lady
thus returned: "waiter, take this COW
down where the calf is bleating!"

Franklin.
This is one Of the many correct and
iudicious sayings of that truly great man,
whose judgement of mankind was formed
from experience, and whose writings are
held up to the admiration Of the world
No better maxims of morals are to be
found, or rules which, if attended to, will
eventually lead the unfortunate to repair
their losses, overcome difficulties and re-
gain lost ground. The above is worthy
Of deep reflection, and speaks volumes of
itself; it utters a language that is easily
understood. Happy would it be, if more
of our youth were properly placed in stu
ations congenial to their minds and genius,
wherein they might learn some Mechanic
art. In this respect much judgement
ought to be exercised, that wrong turn
be not given to the mind, but that due
regard be had to the natural bent Of gen.
ius.
To thwart this, is to destroy the pride
and ambition, from which results disaffec-
ton, and often ruin. Whatever the feel
ings of Parent for his child. or however
rich he may be, his own experience must
teach him the propriety of his sons hav-
ing calling that will serve TO support
himself, and perhaps a family.-Although
there may be no apparent need of such
step, yet it should be done, for the remark
is true as preaching, that she who has a
trade has an estate"

Are thus described by a writer in one

Gently appeared in the Theatre of that

scenc:]
"She hoated about like fair bat very
voluptuous looking spirit, and cut her
toes hither and thither, and swayed her
body to and fro in way which was a
caution to all infammable young gentle
men grey headed or not. The lovely crea-
lures who graced the scene looked on en-
chanted, and made all bright with smiles;
the vast crowd of men shouted and ap-
plauded with their whole might, and the
beautiful dancing woman, giving them an
extra firt or two, which set them off in a
perfect agony of delight, made her bow

ping her Wring-your-neck-off upon the
shoulder, said 'dere; dere is te one thou

dience said 40, and they shouted and
screamed, and thumped for her to come
out and-.
cat that moment, in an obscure hovel,
open in many parts to the cold, biting
winds, without fire, alone sat poor wo-
man, holding to her chilled bosom, her
sick and dying babe, while upon rude
pallet OF straw lay two shivering little
creatures; her children too. Her eye was
heavy with watching, her cheek sunken
with hunger and suffering, her heart filled
with the very gall and bitterness of life.
Still how truly, oh! how truly, answred
that heart to the pang of mothers love,
as she gazed into the innocent face of her
dying babe, how fast flowed the tears
from eyes which had known little but sor-
row and weeping through many weary
days-how deep and fervent was the pray
er which came up from the very fountains
of privation and grief. There was no
heart near to sympathize, no kind hand
to aid, no soft voice to soothe; the physi-
clans healing art, charity's angel arm
came not to soften the dying moments of
her poor babe; and as life flickered and
waved in lis fair urn, and the sobs of the
mother sounded in that solitary room, as
in the agony of her grief she exclaimed,
"a few pence had saved thee to me, my
sweet babe;' as the sleepless on the pal
let of straw mumured in their uneasy
slumber: Mother, dear mother, give me
some bread;' as the keen wind came tIlro'
the crevices and she clasped the dying
child to her bosom; at that moment, u
dancing woman, a stranger, with her
wealth Of thousands, and her ingots OF
gold and silver, made her last graceful
bow, and took the princely sum which,
was here for few moments pleasant la.
Dor.
"As the spectators gave their last shout,
the babes innocent spirit winged its high,
to Heaven, and the mother gazed in des.
pair upon all that remained 10 her Of the
little prattler she SO dearly loved.

SOMETHING NEw.-The onerous duties
of our daily calling are occasionally relicv-
ed by the pleasant employment OF chroui-
cling some labor saving invention; and a
case Of The kind we have just been called
upon TO notice.
Col. James Hamilton, one OF The Vice
Presidents OF the American Institute, a
mechanic of great ingenuity and Of most
praiseworthy industry, has just completed
and patented Nea1 Salu, Mill.
lis chief recommendation is great SIM
plicity and cheapuess Of construction. 1t
is believed that the cost of making one Of
the largest class will not exceed two hum
drcd dollars. With trihing expense it can
be removed and re-established in any spot
where the land is tolerably even. In short,
it can be taken into the midst of forest
and fully set at work with few hours of
preparation. Again, it can be used with
any kind Of power; but what constitutes
another and one of its best recommends
lions, is that it can be successfully used by
manual labor.
1t will prove invaluable jn the conslruc-
ton Of Rail Roads. 1t can be moved to
keep pace with the daily wants of the
road, saving any kind of lumber in the
making of them; and is of so simple
construction that scarcely any instruction
is necessary in order to enable common
laborers 10 work it. Another striking tea-
lnre of its usefulness is,' that the logs to be
sawed are not elevated much above the
level OF the ground; and that The saw
passes through the log, instead Of the log
passing through the saw. This is very
great and important improvement. Itsaves
all rtle vast labor Of hoisling up heavy logs
which Ting them to their proper place;
pensive, and il also saves one nan OF rne
usual space required i'll the common way
10 cut up log in.
There are many districts OF our wide
spread country where the face of it is fiat
and where the timber abouuds of the very
best!guality, but where it is almost value
less, because of The great distance 10 saw
mills. This invention will enable the
owners of such lands to transport the
boards and planks TO the nearest point OF
navigation, and by it can successfully
compete with other manufacturers oflum-
ber.
