sALUTATORY.

In presenting to the public the hrst
number of the Pamela Weekly Register,
it may be well to state what course we
intend to pursue. As VIC have hereto
fore engaged with share OF zeal In the
political conflicts Of the day, 1t will be
naturally expected by our old patrons
at least, (many of whom still remain
on our subscription list that we shall
not throw off the political armor. OPP
pose the principles we have advocated,
or advocate such sentiments rs we have
opposed, we shall not. Yet we claim
and exercise the right of Withdrawing
from the arena Of party conflict, and
now nail our flag TO the standard OF no
political leader There are some fun
damental republican principles on which
the two great parties of the Union pro-
TESS to be agreed. These we shall free
" advocate, and strike when and where
we choose, by whomsoever violated.
1t is unnecessary to say both parties
are partly made up of bad men. Every
body knows that. The age is corrupt,
In the almost unanimous hue and cry
for principle, principles themselves are
forgotten. The evil lies too deep to be
eradicated by the success OF any party
measures. The best measures of par
ty, pursued with evil design, will result
in disaster; and the difference between
the best and the worst, like that between
tweedle-dum and tweed!e-dee, depends
upon who plays the fiddle. The basest
demagogue has the brightest epauIet-
he has sworn hatred TO the oppressor
of the people. Shall we take probes
sions and allow real responsibility to
the incumbents of office, or shall we
look behind them? When demagogueS
thrive shall we look if the heart of Den

of ascendancy "when rogues fall outE

Mechanical Operations of the Mouth.
Some of the operations of the mouth
are deserving of particular notice.
They will be found TO eIucidate several
philosophical principles, and attention TO
them would certainly have enabled in
ventors to anticipate many useful disco
veries. We have, in a preceding book
observed that the mouth is often employ

On Friday night last, and for two or
three nj ghts after, wonderful phe-
nomenon appeared in the heavens--pro-
baby a meteor, much resembling a
comet. That seen on Friday night
seemed further south than the same or
others as the case may be, on subse-
quent nights. On Friday night it was
clear, with bright monlight-afterwards
a little cloudy and hazy which may &C
count for the different appearances
The phenomenon was visible about two
hours each night, and its course was
from east to west. lis length on Fri
day night, as it appeared to the naked
eye, was equal to one half the arc the
visible circumference of the entire hea-
vens-twicc the length Of the most re-
markable comet on record. We almost
imagined we could see in it the nucleus
of comet, and on Sunday night the
appearance Of star at the head, was
indistinctly visible. The weather
having been cloudy for a considerable
time previous TO Friday night;it may
be acomet, and held its position within
view ofthe earth the usual time. What
it is must Of course overtask the powers
of conjecture of those who have moi
made a business ofthe study of the hea-
venly bodies.

The Times.


The time was, when mechanic might

The time is, when he can't get work,

to starve on hard work,
The time was, when you might safely
trust your ncighbor-the time is when

By the bye, speaking of the times
there is one old friend Marshall IN Gre

TO PRESERVE EGGS.


The shells of eggs are porous, and by be

gradually, and that in proportion as the tenn
perature of the weather is increased the va
cant space occasioned by the evaporation is
Immediately filed with air, and This air acts OF,

position or rottenness. Now If the air can be-
prevented from entering through the shell, the
egg will remain sound for an indefinite Pc

air.
Reaumur tried vanishing eggs to preserve
them, but he found the cheapest and mos. eff
ieciua' method was to apply oil or grease,
with which they were rubbed, or into which
they we're dipped
The evaporation of matter from the egg
was proved to be as efloctually stopped by the

that no sensible vestige be left on the surface
OF the shell. All sorts Of fat, grease or oil,
were found well adapted to preserve eggs;

trodden, even trifes are interesting and do

with which we regarded this change,-The
novelty, 1t must be admitted, was very agreea-
bic; and tie advantage Of constant dayslieh hit,

was too great TO allow us even to wish for a

the reluctance we felt to leave the deck whe,,
the sun was shining bright upon our sails. and
to retire to our cabins TO sleep, often deprived
us oil many hours Of necessary rest; aud when
we returned to the deck TO keep our night
watch, II 1t may be SO called. and still found
the sun gliding the sky, it seemed as if the
day would never finish What therefore, al
