representations, found at length tina,

story Of the meeting Of a couple VI
horse dealers, one Yorkshirenan, and
the other Brislolian. at town in Hamp-
shire. Both had faulty horses, and they
mutually resolved to cheat each other.
After some haggling, the Yorkshireman
exchanged his beast with the West coun
tryman, giving five guineas besides. As
soon as the bargain was struck, and the
money paid, the Yorkshirepan exclaim-
ed
s.Ha! I've done thee, lad-the poor

Saturday in gathering blackberries, drop
ped his hat into a small pond. He step
ped into the water to regain his hat. but
finding himself detained by the mud into
which he was sinking, he called out fol
help. Mrs. Andy, his mother, hearing
the cry, rushed to his rescue, but found

Pittsburgh Glass Faciories--Glass Of
all descriptions is manufactured in this
city, and this fragile production Of her
factories, may be found, we are to!u, in
the eiegan, mansions Of New York. Phila.
delphia and Baltimore. as we'll as in the
log CABIN of the. Western emigrant. The
cut glass made here is OF excellent quail
~, white anu very clear. The cutting
Of glass consists entirely ia grinding away
successive portions, by holding the glass
upon the surface OF small wheels, made
OF stone, metal and wood, which are made
to revoIve rapidiN by means Of q steam
engine. The first or rough cutting is
given by wheels Of stone, afterwards
wheels Of iron are used, having their
edges covered with sharp sand, or with
emery Of different states OF fineness. The
las. polish is gwen with brush wheels,
covered with oxide Of tin or lead. To
proven. friction from exciting so much
neat as to endanger the glass. small
stream Of water continually drops upon
the surface Of the wheels. One Of the
principal glass manufacturers mentioned
un amusing incident. Some Indians had
been as q delegation to Washington, about
some reserved lands, and they spenta few
days here on their return. One OF them,
a Chief, had seen all that was curious in
Baltimore and Philadelphia without being
much excited. While here he visited the
glass house. and watched all the various
operations with great interest Atlength
he saw the process OF making some cream
jugs. The body OF the Jug was formed
first, and when the material for the nan
die was formed and fixed. it was found tc
be perfect vessel. SEEING all this pro-
1uced from molten glass, the Chief could
restrain himself no longer. lie rushed

THE MAIDEN,s SORROW.
BY wM. c. BRYANT

Seven long years has the desert rain
Dropped on the clods that hide thy face;
Seven long years Of sorrow aud pain
have thought ofthy burial place.
Ear on the praries Of the west.
None who loved thee beheld thee die;
They who heaped the earth on thy breast
Turned from the spot without sigh.
TIL re think, on that lonely grave.
Violets spring in the soft May shower;
There. in the summer breezes wave
Crimson phox and noccasn flower.
There the turtles alieht, and there
Feeds with the spotted fawn the doe;
There, when winter woods are bare,
Walks the wolf on the cracking snow.
Soon wilt thou wipe away my tears,
Yesterday the earth was lad
Over my father, full Of years.
Hin whose steps have watched and stayed
All my work is finished here
Every siumber. hat shuts my eye.
Brings the forms ofthe lost and dear.
Shows me the world Of spirits Egh.
This deep wound that bieeds and aches
'rhi. long pain. sleepIess pain
When the Father my spirit takes
shall feel it no more again.

The most contemp lbl9 creature upon
the fooistool food, is the idle young man
Of fashions.
He is fool-for he does nothing for
himself or Tor society. There is no rea.
son why any one should like him--thc
world should desire his absence.
He is a knave--for he eats without la
Dor, consumes without producing, lives by
his own fraud, or that Of some one to
which he is accessory 1t is the law Of
nature that every one should produce at
least as much as he consumes: the lash
ionabc exquisite produces notMng-the
world is just so much the worse tor eve
nv garment he wears and for every meal
he eats.
More truly honorable in the sight Of
heaven is the farmers boy, who tils the
fresh green earth, glowing and sweating
in the sun; or the artzan who shapes d
shoe for the farmer, or the seamstress,
who plies the needle for twelve shillings
week, than the haughtiest aristocrat in
the world.
What but young bandit, he who rides
about, and walks in Broadway, drawing
his revenue from the toll ola score or two
Of Mechanicss
There will come time when the
drones Of humanity will be driven from
the hive Of society When the law .ex
cept man work neither shall he eat,
shall be entorced-when the idler shall
every where be in contempt.

WISCONSIN COPPER M,NEs.-We learn
from the Mineral Polnt Free Press. that
an active business is now going on in that
section Of the Territory in the working Of
the copper mlnes. The copper mines Of
Wisconsin are prob by more extensive
Than any other in North America. The
Free Press says, the mines commence
south oI.Mlneral Point, and extend north
ward to Lake Superior. Many years
will ye, rlapse before the vast resources
Of tins extended region shall! be fully de-
vrIoped. There are now three furnaces
for smelling copper III the vicinity OF
Mineral Point. About $4,000 pounds of
copper proiuced at these furnaces, have
recently been sold in New York city, at
II cenls per pound. cash. The quantity
OF ore now on hand ready for smelling. IT
is estimated will yield 10000 more Ot
the inducement for engaging in the min-
my business, the Free Press remarks as
follows:
From the productiveness Of the ore, at
least in this vicinity, and the facilities for
carving ON the business of smelling, a
large capital may be invested in as safe
aud profitable business as can be found
any where. Capital is all that Is ,oanted /!
the materials are here-the ground teem-
ing with rich ore, plenty OF hands to work
the mines, and many other facilities which
we're unknown when the smelling Of lead
was commenced.
Where is there country that holds
out 'alrerprospect toem,grants, or great.
er inducements to capitalists, thaa the

MIR. Colby,s Address. .

We commend TO the careful attention of our
readers the Address of Mr.. COLBY. which oar
columns to-day contain. As literary perform
ance alone, it merits the highest praise; it is
written with great taste and elegance, and contains
passages of eloqpence and stirring power. But 1t
is mainly on account of the sound political truths
which it contains, truths which men of no party
can with even a show Of justice controvert, that
we deem it worthy close and consiaerate perusal'
It enters into none Of the disturbing party cues
tons of the day, but press nts clear, historical
and argumen,ative exposition of the relations of
Wealth to Labor, and of both to the welfare of the
State in calm, candid and lofty tone. lie
Morning Post takes occasion to say that it was,
in some measure, political harangue-a covert
attack upon political principles, to which probably
one-half the audience was attached" We cannot
perceive the slightest ground for such charge !;
and we feel sure that probably onehalf' the
readers of the Post will feel greatly obliged to its
Editor if he will point out definitely and distinctly
those principles in this Address which clash with
his own The whole discourse is emnently pub
lican, and brea,hes the spirit upon which all ouI
institutions must rely for permanence and pros
perity.
