The method of Mr.. Robertson has
obtained great celebrity throughout all
Europe, end has been very generally
adopted in teaching the modern Lam
guages in the educational institutions Of
England, France, and Germany. 1t is
characterized by teaching rather the
practice than the theory Of the language;
thus greatly diminishing the amount of
labor required.

CHIvALRY alias CALHoUNIsM-Everyo one
familiar with the history of the valiant knight
of La Mancha is aware. that, under the inspir-
ing influence of chivalry, men are capable of
enacting the ludIcrous with amazing effect
Or, to refer to perhaps less questionable histo-

chivalry, over which age the philosophical
Burke became so plain.ive, need not be told,

scenes in which it exhibi the most ridiculous
spectacles. In vain may the admirers of that
great man, Don Quixotie, or OF any OF bis great
exenplars, whose steel-clad ghosts stalk be-
fore the mind when reading more authentic
though less truthful history, refer to them for
instances in which the spirit ofchlvalry promp~
ed men to the most ridiculous acts ever pre-

HYDRO-EI .Esf,,HRIC' MACHINE %

| A1D1O~ELECI hLC MAINLINE
We believe there is now exhibiting IN Lon
don new electric apparatus, called Arm

power of which. far exceeds anything every
before shown. The production of electricity
| by steam, like many other important discove-
ries, was purely accidenal. In IS4O, a work.
man at Newcastle. happened TO thrust his
hand into the steam discharged by common
| boiler, when he received severe shock for
| which he could not account The fact being
mentioned, Mr.. Armstrong applied himself to a
| series of experiments which proved that the
workman received an electric shock, and that
the common steam boiler was capabl of pro-
ducing more copious and powerful stream of
electricity than any other apparatus: The
machine now exhibiting at the Polytechnic
Institution, is nothing more than an ordinary
boiler with few metal points added at the top,
the more efectualy to produce the negative
electrical state to which the machine Is
brought when the steam is dIscharged.-One
of the trials of this new machine is that descriS
bed in the various scientific journals. "The
pressure of ninety pounds on the the square
inch, had been in practice, found the best
for all experimental purposes; and, with this
pressure, the machine produced effects, com.
pared with which the very large electrical ma

kept up, and with this increased power 1t may
well be supposed that all the former electrical
experiments were greatly increased in magni~

With such power yet unworked in exper-
imental philosophy, it is impossible says the
anglo American. to predict what important
results may be broughtto light. The common
electrical apparatus has been but oflimited use
in the arts and sciences, principally from the
difficulty of obtaining sufficient and equabe

INVOCATION TO HEALTH.

When zephyr scents the gale,
From aromatic flowers,
That deck the dewy vale
But ar0maaic flowers
No fragrance have for me
Nor charm the rosy bowers,

The gentle streams meander
In silence through the wood;
Along their banks wunder,
And gaze upon the flood:
But all that once delighted,
Looks desoIate and drear;

Till thou, o health appear!
Shall / the morn's sweet bushes
No more with pleasure view 2
Or lightly tread the Tushes,
DrenclI'd in ambrosial dew?
Or climb the rugged mountain,
To watch the SUMS last ray
Or lInger where the fountain
Reflects the parting day ?

And nature blooms in vain !

And light my smiles ac ain -
