SHoEMAKINc. Prof Ingraham thus graph-
cally describes the town of Lynn, Massachu-
sets, the seat of shoemakers, and the vast cord
wainery Of the whole Union:
"The very pleasant and thriving town of
Lynn is the Paradise of shoemakers Its
young men, early transferred from the cradle
to the last, cut their teeth and leather at the
same time, and its pretty maidens learn to
bind shoes with the introduction of their a-b
abs. Lovers exchange hearts over kid slip
per, and swear eternal fidelity over a lap-stone,
If they would get married, they ask old DR..
Waxend the parson, if he will stitch them to-
gether, and they will pay him in shoe-mend,ng.
Whipping their children is called tanning, and
the rod they use is a co,uhide. The little boys
swear by hides and leather, aud play at games
which they call high and low quarter, and
toe A child newly born is iap-stone, and
the age of their children is known by the NUM-
Der of shoes they wear. Boys are called
rights, and girls LeftS-an old maid is an odd
slipper, and an old bachelor an odd boot
The street doors to their dwellings are sin
steps and man in an overcoat is foxed.'-
The fields about the town are patches, and a
fellow haaf-seas over is kaltsoted. They never
see an oak tree but they directly calculate the
number of pegs it will make, and when they
behold bees at work they reflect that the only
end of wax is waxed end. They look OH all
cattle and sheep as only leather-growers, and
believe that hogs were only made to produce
bristes. Its lap-stones would pave Broadway,
and its lasts if piled together, would make a
monument higher than that on Bunker Hill ~

The only change from what he proposed,
was some slight alienation in the stand

From the Liuerpool Chronicle
Lioefpool, March 29,-The news which
has coine to hand this week from the u
nted States is more than usually impor'
lant. The Senate, by majority OF TWO
votes, consented to the annexation OF lex
as, and resolutions we're passed by Con
gress, and had received the sanction OF
the President, for the reception of that
country into the Federal Union. Thus
far The matter has proceeded smoothly
The thornv path has yet to be trod. 1t
remains to be seen whether the people Of
Texas will consent to the union-whether
the Mexican government, which claims
the country as its own, will tameIy submit
to the arrangement-and whether the
European powers will all interfere. Some
remarks which fell from Sir Robert Pee
recently In the House Of Commons, i'm
piled that the annexation would not be
palatable to this country or TO France
But the primary consideration is, what Is
the feeling of the Texans themselves! il
they desire the amalgamation, it would be
folly on the part of any European power
to inteopose an obstacle We have
greater interest in the question than any
other nation, and it would not assuredly
be worth our while 10 declare ourselves
AGAINST il.

A rant stronger than Hunger,-An old
man, who had borne an irreproachable|
character up to the age of seventy-two
was lately brought before one of the tri-
bunals of Paris for stealing piece oflead
worth eight cents. He admitted that he
was wholly without means, and, for the
first time in his life, knew not where to
find single sous-but it was not hunger !
that droye him to steal. After consider
able questioning on the part of the judge
as to what could be stronger than hunger
he confessed that it was tobacco for hi,
pipe!

A poor woman, of German extraction,
persisted on third street. A married wo-
man, the mother of Two children, named
NJ Gowly, persisted on third-street, and a
man named Johnson, is supposed to have
been lost IN Wood-street, having last been
seen in burning building. Many per-
SONS, it is feared, have persisted; how ma
ny may never be known until both earth
and sea give up their deud, Such was
the intense heat of the fire that it consul
med the remains of its unfortunate victims
in most instances entirely.
