FIirts and Flirting.

No girl ever made happy union by flrta-
tion-because no man, capable of making
woman permanently happy, was ever attracted
BY that which is disgusting to rational and re-
fined minds.-The fool may be caught and
with the fool, life will be what il ought to be be-
tween flirt and coxcomb
Filtration in a woman, is equivalent to
libertinism in a man it is the manifestation
OF the same loose principles, only restrained by
the usages of the world from developing itself
in similar way. The bare idea of this ought
to preserve thousands, who perhaps fall into
the error through mere exuberance of spirits,
from exposing themselves to a suspicion at
which their natures must shrink.
Youth, beauty, or genuine accomplishments
stand in no need OF the mistaken weapon of
filtration to achieve their highest conquests. IF
they resort 10 it, we may be assured that there
is conscientiousness of want of desert, or a
vanity which must poison all true enjoyment.
Let the young, the lovely and the gifted,
therefore, adhere to that nature which has made
them what they are, and leave Irritation to
those who fancy they cannot provoke attention
without forcing themselves, by i'll manners,
into the unfeminine situation of being conspcu-
Gus. The despairing maiden, who has court
ed marriage for years without once being court
ell; the silly ordinary woman who has aped
the graces without success and the rdicu.
lous affected, would be accomplished, unsus-
pectcd of endowments except in her own idea
these may try Irritation for effect; they can
hardly suffer from being few degrees more
contemplate in the sight of men, who have
hitherto disregarded, and now only laugh at
and despise them.

General pntI.

"lIonor and shame from no condition rise.
Act well your part, there all the honor lies"
Gen. Paez, the President of Venezuela, is
perhaps the most remarkable man now living
in South America The revolution found him
simple Llanero, or herdsman on the vast
plains in the south of Venezuela, ignorant of
the very alphabet, and as simple and supers,i-
tious as any around him. He was grown
man when he entered corps of irregular ca
valry as a private lancer lie soon distln-
gushed himself by his address and reckless
bravery, attracted the attention of Bolivar, was
rapidly promoted, and in few years found
himself commander OF the horse. As such, by
an unauthorized charge at the battle of Cara
bobo, he gained the day, aud set the seal OF his
military reputation. He is now the Executive
chief the most hopeful Of South American
republics, with the highest reputation for wis
dom as a statesman, aud moderation as a poll
teian, with manners and address that would
grace any court in Europe. lie has remedied
all the defects of early education, OF rather the
want OF education. He has not only read much
but is one ofthe best writers OF ms country.

Anthracite Irou-.CoId Btnsfs.

In late number of the Miners Journal We pub.
lisned account Of some success sfu experiments
making iron from Anthracite by the cold blast,
which we copied from Welsh paper. Since this
publication we have ascertained from friend the
following facts, which show tha, the discovery was
also made in this county, where il has been tried
and proven TO succeed perfectly.
Mr.. Maurice Mckinney, founder Of the Sally
Ann Furnace, Rockland Township, Berks Coun.
ty, in November last, when the owner. Mr.. J. V,
r. Hunter, was ahou, blowing out for the purpose
Of repairing, requested permission to try the furnace
with Anthracite Coal and a cold blast. The own
er being doubtful of success, consented, but fur
nshed him with only two weeks stock. On No>
vemher a. he commenced blowing, and by the lth
Of November had cast thirty tons, which was about
their average yeld,-'he second week, ending the
lsh he cast thrty-fve tons and on the els, the
furnace ceased blowing. Our informant sta, es that
the iron thus made is Of the first quality, being g.
quail in every respec, to that made with charcoal.
We also learn that Furnace, for the manufic-
ture of iron socy with nhracile and the cold blast
is already in progress of preparation Tf this is
found to succeed the process must be generally a.
dorted, as it is proven to be the cheapest as
well as the best mode Of manufacture - Miners
Journal.
The Rochester Democrat states that iron "was
frat made in this country in i7l5, in Virginia In
New fo'k, Orange county, furnace was erected
in 1851, and 500 tons of pig and 1000 Of bar
made annually. The great iron chain that eros.

Of which weighed l40 pounds, made there.
