GOOD FORTUNE.

A young Yankee, named Coleman who
used 10 piay on the aCc0rdian in some Of
our cities for a substance, and who pa
tented some Improvements on that insru-
ment has suddenly sprung into affluence
and fame. In New York, 100000 has
been agreed to be paid him for his improve
ments of the piano. and in London, WHERE
he is now, he has become the lion OF the
day, and it is said that he will receive half
million of dollars for his patent there, be-
sides being petted by the nobility of Great
Brjtoin.-Pha. paper.
We happen to knowI and are happy to
saw, that thus young Yankee" deserves
ali the success he is likely 10 receive, abun-
dunt and overwhelming as it is. His I'M
provement Oh the piano, tor which he Is
now receiving such high reward and dis
tinCtion, is OF most striking character
and cannot fail 10 be universally adopted
It consists in what he calls the "AoaI
attachment" and converts the same IN
slanhy and at will, into the sottest anc
sWeett tt0nea organ we ever heard III
principle of the invention is in the intro
duclon of air to the string OF the piano, 81
that the sound is prolonged indefinitely
It makes two instruments out Of one-th
piano remaining single, until the pertor
mer chooses to convert it into the organ
which is done by touching pedal.
One of these instruments was exhibited
at the scientific Convention held at Wash
ington some months since, under the patro
mage of the National institute; and it ex
cited the kepnest curiosity, and the mos
marked delight Of all who heard it. 1t ha
never been publicly exhibited in this city
though few have been put up in privat
parlors. The "@olian attachment may b
applied to any piano, at a cos! Of abou

this Improvement will cost about $50 I'D

A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.

Wishing, and sigbiug, and imagining,
and dreaming Of G ealness, said William
WHIT, viii never make you great. But
cannot . young man command bis euer-
cjes! Read Foster on decision Of charac-
Ter. That book will tell you what is in
your power to accomplish. You must
gird 10 your loins and 20 to work with all
the indom table energy OF Hannibal scaling
the Alps. 1t is your duty to make the
most Of talents. time and opportunities.
Alfred, king Of England, though he per-
formed more business than any one Of his
subjects, found time to study.
Franklin in the midst Of all his labors
found time to dive into the depths Of phi
Iosopby, and explored an un!roden path ol
science.
Frederick the great; with an Empire at
his direction, in the midst Of war, and on
the eve Of battle, found time TO reyeli in the
charms Of philosophy, and to feast hnnseI
on the'luxuries Of learning.
Bouaparte, with Europe at his disposal
with kings at his pnte-chamber begging tol
vacant thrones, and at the head Of thous
ands Of men whose desunIeS were sus
pended on his arbitrary pleasure, had time
to converse with books.
And young men who are confined to Ia
hor or business even twelve hours day
may take an hour and half Of what's lef
for study, and which will amount to tw'
months in year
Is that nothing! Ask Elihu Berritt Asl

TEXAS.


We eEHg in the New York Sun letter
from Texas, from which we extract the an
nexed paragraphs:
From our Texan Correspondent.
JONES, THE PRESIDENT ELECT
THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
The election of Anson Jones as Presi-
dent Of Texas will change very materially
the prospect of the Republic. He will not
consent to annexation at all if he can help
it, and if the popular voice-so omniPotent
in Texas--compels him that way he will
make beautiful speculation out of 1t for
his fund and scrip-holding friends.
"The public debt of Texas is nominally
not far from fifteen millions, but as her pa
per was issued far below par-some Of it
at 70 and IA cents per dollar if honestly
settled, as Presidents Tyler and Houston
had arranged itin case of annexation, five
millions would have paid it fairly and liber-
ally. Now Jones is the very man to insist
upon the whole face Of this debt being paid
if the settlement becomes the affair Of the
United States; though if Texas remains
independent, her revolutionary paper vii
be good for exactly what our continenta
money was--to light pipes.
"If annexation does take place, there Is
but one way of meeting the question o
the public debt of Texas. Let her keel
her public domain, settle her own lanC
claims, and pay her own debts. If Uncl,
Sam NEEDLES with either, the old gentle
man will get egregiously cheated"
"Whether western Texas, the Eden o
the Mississippi valley, is to be abandoned
to the Indians by this administration as i
was by the last, and the Government tt
continue roaming the country like a cara
van, stopping here and there at the mos
profitable invitations, remains to be seen
1t was disgraceful tmidity Or audacou
caprice, to remove the Government from
:, Austin, and keep Congress begging 70
shelter from town to town, under pretenc
of danger from Indians and Mexicans, at
ter Lamar had held quiet possession 70
three years"
"Tcxas pretends to claim to the DE-
Norte, yet dares not for three--perhaps 81:
years-convene her Congress or Cahine
within a thousand miles of that border; an
this at time when there is no demonstra
ton of active war no actual preparatio

OUR GRANDMoTHER'S MUSIC.

"Thy grandmother" said uncIy Toby,
addressing himself to a young Araheila,
Just from London, and who was playing
the battle Of Marengo on the piano, thy
grandmother, child, used to play on a
much better instrument than thine"
"[ndecd," said Arabella, chow could it
have been better! you know it is the most
fashionable instrument, and is used by eve
ry body that is any thing"
"Your grandmother was something, yet
she never saw piano forte"
But what was the name Of the instru-
ment! had it strings, or was it played with
keys!"
You must give me time to recoIlect
the name; it was indeed s.rnged instru-
ment but played by the hand"
"By the hand alone! How vulgar; but

shall buy me one when Ireturn to London.
Do YOU think we can obtain one"
mo, you will not find one in London.
but doubtless they NAV be found in some
of the country towns"
"How many strings had it! Must one
play with both hands! and could one play
double bass!'
81 know not whether It could play dou-
bic Jass, as you call tit was played by
both hands and with two strings"
Two strings onlyl surelynyou are Jest
Iing-how could music be produced by
Isuch an instrument, when the piano has
TWO or three hundred!"
"Oh, the strings were very long, ono
about fourteen feet, and the other might
be heightened at pleasure, even fifty or
more"
"What prodigious deal ofroom j; must
take but no matter, l will have mine in
the old hall, and papa may have an ad6i-
ton built to it, for he says shall not want

COAL AND COAL MINES or OUR
COUNTRY.

There are two theories concerning the
origin Of Mineral Coal.
First, that it is decomposed vegetable
matter. Secondly that it is the result Of
disqualification. :,
The former theory is generally received
by GeoIogists from the following proof.
/. Jet, (which is of vegetable origin,l by
being heated in gun barch may be re-
duced to coal.
Cd 1t is often Of a woo y, fbrous na-
tTe.
Vegetables are converted into coal by the
united action of moisture, pressure, heat
and exclusion of air. The heat is produc-
ed by volcanic action, either by the volcan-
ic contents being poured upon the vegeta-
bles, or by the internal heat below. Dit'
ferent degrees of heat make different de.
grees of coal. The Bituminous is made by
the least degree of heat; Anthracite may
be made from the Misunderstanding
from the Anthracite.
The coal strata for the most part contain
fresh water and terrestrial PLAN, and coal Il

HONORING PARENTS.

What can be more tender and beautiful
than the following simple narrative! As
stranger went into the church yard OF a
pretty village, he beheld three children ata
newly made grave. A boy about ten years
of age as busily engaged in placing plants
OF nrf aboutit, whilst girl, who appeared
year OF two younger. held in her apron
a few roots of wild flowers. The third
child. still younger, was sitting on the grass,
watching with thoughtful look the move
ments Of the other two. They wore pieces
of Grape on their straw hats, and few
other signs of mourning, such as are some-
times worn by the poor who struggle be-
tween their poverty and their Affections.
The girl soon began planting some OF her
wild flowers around the head of the grave.
when the stranger addressed them;
"Whose grave is this, children, about
which you are 50 busily engaged!"
"Mother's grave, sir," said the boy.
"And did your father send you TO place
these flowers around your mothers grave"
mo, Sir, father lies here too, and little
Willy, and sister Jane"
"When did they die!"
another was buried fortnight yesterday,
sir, but father died last winter; they all lie
here"
"Then who told you to do ths!"
"Nobody, sir" replied the girl.
"Then why do you do i'll"
They appeared at loss for an answer,
but the stranger look so kindly at them at

TEXAS-IMMEDIATE ANNEXATION

TEXAS-IMMEDIATE ANNEXATION.
Among the first fruits likely to he realz-
ed by the election of Mr.. Polk to the Pres-
dency will be the serious consequences
connected with the renewed prosecution Of
the measure Of the immediate annexation
Of TeXas--a measure which cannot be con-
summated, as matters now stand, without
compromising the National honor and in
curing the risk Of the evils Of war. In
an article on this subject in the Madisonian
of Tuesday evening, we find the following
paragraphs;
1.-THE verdict Of the balot-box not only
decides the question in favor of ''im-medi-
ate" Annexation, but this is an unequivo-
cal eXpl esson Of indignation against the
shallow demagogues who charged the
President and the Secretary Of State with a
design to dismember the Union in the event
of failure to carry measure opposed by
a mojority of the People. They have calm
y submitted the measure to the test of pub
lie opinion, and now stand up proudly vim
! dicated, and encouraged by the authority
Of the sovereigns, beyond whom there can
be no appeal, to go on, and accomplish the
great work 50 well begun, but so Infamous
/ Iy arrested by the inslrumentality OF un
scrupuous politicians"

"ln the matter Of boundary, Mr., Jones
will be more apt to hear reason, if the U

Burleson- He would sooner claim Vera

is at the best one Of intrinsic difficulty, II
by some miracle diplomatiSts were to try
