wine Mint.

The United States have three mints for
the coinage of money. One at Philadel-
phia, one at North Carolina, and the other
at New Orleans, and although the two late
ter are called minis, yet they may be more
Justly considered as branches Of the parent
institution at Philadelphia, established in
that city almost Immediately after the gov
eminent was established. The coming Of
money is not generally understood, and the
Philadelphia Chronicle has been at some
pains to collect some account Of the pro-
cess: bullion is brought 70 the mint in
every form; amalgamations from ore, bars,
plate, jewelry and foreign coin. Ali these
present agreat variety as to quality. The
Assayer brings this heterogeneous mass
into proper condition and fincness for
coming, and returns the metal in. ingots or
small bars. These bars, or ingots, are
then annealed, to soften Them. for rolling;
when they are passed through the rolling
machine, worked by a steam engine, end
come out long thin strips--of the, width
and thickness most convenient for use. In
order, to reduce those strips of metal to
their proper size for the press, they are
drawn through nicely graduated drawing
dies. In the next place they are passed
through the cutting press, which is also
moved by. steam, and pieces Of the true
size are cut out. The punch moves go
rapidly that one hundred and sixty pieces,
oman average, are cut sout in minnie
The pieces thus prepared arenext put Into

MECHANICS WIvEs.-Speaking Of the mid
de ranks of life, a good writer observes: There
we behold woman in her glory; not doll to
carry silks and jewels; not poppet to be
fiattered by profane alteration; reverenced to-
day, discarded tomorrow; always jostled out
of the place which nature and society would
assign her, by sensuality or contempt; admired,
but not respected; desired, but not esteemed; /;
ruling by passion, not affection; imparting her
weakness, not her constancy, to the sex she
could exalt; the source and mirror of vanity; /;
we see her wife, partaking the cares and
cheering the anxiety of husband, dividing
his tolls by her domestic diligence, spreading
cheerfulness around her; for his sake sharing
the decent reinements of the world, without
being vain of them, placing all her JOY and
happiness in the man she loves. AS mother,
we find her the affectionale, the ardent in
structress of the children whom she has tended
from their infancy; training them up tothought
and benevolence: addressing them as rational
beings, preparing them to become men and
women in their turn. Mechanics daughters
make the best wives in the world.

TO OUR READ r S.

Well, our work, at least for the present, is
done-and we can only, in pure modesty and
sincerity, say, "would it were worthier" We
have also to say, however, in simple selt-jus-
tice, would that our labors and sacrifices had
been properly appreciated and remunerated.
Ambition, in this cause, never was, never could
be, crime of ours. Had lucre been our aim,
we should have sought it elsewhere-should
have fought for it in another field. Wemerely
strove, in our humble, but decided manner, to
be useful 10 our fellow man; to hold dread
full mirror up to nature; to compel vice to re-
feet its hideous deformity, and to show virtue,
wherever found, in its fairest proportions, even
so that che who ran might read" Eminently
useful in these respects we dared not expect
to be; moderately SO, we tried to be.
TO those whose good wishes we knew at
tended us in our rather short but very labo-
rious career, we have to tender, at parting,
our cordial acknowledgements, and express the
hope, that the disinterested friendship thus
formed may ripen, and be perfected, under bet
ter and happier auspices
Those indebted to US for subscription and
advertising will be waited on, and we hope
they will be prompt in settling their small ac-
counts. TO those who have paid in advance,
we will refund their just due, without delay.

MEXICO.

A few weeks back, during the highest state
of the war fever, we ventured the pre- dcion
that the Mexcans would never come within
reach of Uncle Sans bayonets. In days gone
by, we took an actiue part 1--WE speak not boast
ngly reader) in attaining the independence o.
this and other of the then American colonies o
Old Spain, and the above prediction was found.
ed on our knowledge of the weak and pusillan.
imous character of those people. 1t is now GER
tain there will be no war-or, what is about
the same thing, we are sure of an "indeinite
postponement" having taken place on the part
of Mexico. Disappointed, doubtless, in her
exnectations of the active sympathy of one or
more of the powerful nations Of Europe, and
left, as she Of right ought to have been, to the
free, unprejudced exercise Of her own discre-
tion in relation to her own affairs, and to reli-
ance entirely on her own resources, she has,
after violent storm of bravado and fury, be-
thought, her of the excellence, truth, and safe
ty, of that most correct maxim, "discretion is
the better part of valor," and concluded, it
seems, to adopt it. That she may abide by,
and profit under it, is our most sincere and
friendly wish.
Had Mexico, even allowing her different
provinces, their people, and her General Gov
ernment to be in a state of the most perfect
harmony and unity, instead Of being, as she
again is, distracted by serious intestine COM
motions, had the temerity TO take the step she
so vauntingly threatened-had she actually de-
clared war against the United States, and
thrown her armies, or either of them, across
the Rio Grande into the territory of Texas, a
result must have Immediately ensued which
it is painful to contemplate-a spectacle have
been presented at which humanity would
shudder. Not that it was to be feared that
the former atrocities of her soldiery could cause
Americans to wifully forget that character for
magnanimity, which it has ever been their
glory to maintain; not that they would fail to
bear in mind that they were battling with a
foe "unworthy Of their STEEL" and beyond
comparison miserable and degraded; but, in
the heat and frenzied impetuosity of the con-
fict, who can say where the arm of destruction
would be stayed on the part of men who fought
over the graves Of such murdered martyrs as
Crockett, Fannin, and their many brave COM

ANEcDoTE,-The following circumstance
happened in one of the towns of Arkansas. A
man had been drinking until late hour at
night, before he started for home Honest folks
had long been in bed, and the houses were all
shut and dark. The liquor he had taken was
too much for him; he did not know where to
CO. He at last staggered into an empty wagon
shed, and fell upon the ground. For long
time he lay in all the unconsciousness of drunk
en- sleep, and would undoubtedly have frozen,
(for the snow on the ground showed the night
to be very cold,) had not others less insensible
than himself been around him. This shed was
a favorite rendezvous for the hogs, which were
out when the new conner arrived, but soon re-
turned to their bed. In the utmost kindness,
and with the truest hospitality, they gave their
biped companion the middle Of The bed; some
lying on either side of him, and others acting
the part of quilt. Their warmth prevented
him from being injured by his exposure. To-
wards morning he awoke; finding himself COM
Portable, in blissful ignorance of his wherea-
bouts, he supposed himself enjoying the accom-
modations of tavern, in company with other
gentlemen. He reached out his hand, and
catching hold Of the stiff bristles of hog, cx-
claimed, "Wby, mister, when did you share

CELEBRATION.

The first anniversary of the introduction of
the Order of UNITED BROTHERS OF TEMPE
RANCE into the District, was celebrated last
Wednesday. Early on that day the Brothers
assembled at the hall of Association No. l, on
c street; at o'clock (about seventy in num-
ber) they were formed, under the direction
of brother ANDERSON, chief marshal OF the day,
and marched, with soul-stirring music, to
Georgetown, and embarked on board the
steamboat Phenix, (Which had been chartered
for the OCCASION for Alexandria. On arriving
at Alexandria wharf, the United Brothers were
received by HARMONY DIVISION, Sons Of Tenn
perance of Alexandria, about 60 strong, and by
Association No. 4, United Brothers, recently
organized. The "Sons," after receiving the
"Brothers" in truly brotherly style, led the
way, and conducted the procession through
some of the principal streets, until about half
past IL o'clock; at which time they had ar
rived at the market square, where the process
sion was dismissed for dinner, which had been
prepared by Mr.. Brodbeck of this city, in
style that gave general satisfaction. AT two
o'clock the procession again formed, marched
through number Of streets, and returned tc
the market square between three and four
o'clock, where arrangements had been made
for explaining the benefits of total abstinence
The balcony around the square was well filled
with ladies.
The Rev. G.. A, DAVIS first addressed the
assemblage, in his usual eloquent style, in be-
half Of temperance, and explained the princi-
pies Of the associations then before him. DR..
JOSEPH WALSH followed, illustrating, in his
own person, and number of those around
him, the power of the pledge. These gentle
men occupied until near sundown, when the
meeting adjourned, to meet again att o'clock,
and proceed to the Lyceum, where it was pro-

SELF1sHNEss.-W despise any thing exclu-
sive--we dsdain all relationship or kindred
with the miserly, hard-fsted feeling that builds
up for itself an impenetrable seclusion-deaf
to all the social and generous sensations Of the
heart, or the high and noble aspirations that
light up the soul. We pity the man who is
so much interested in that monster-self-tha
he has no heart to feel, no wish to serve, or
no anxiety for the welfare and happiness Of
his fellow men. To such an one, this world
is all gloom, trouble, and disappointment.
Jealous Of every one, suspicious of every thing,
his life is nought but one continued round of
dark and mysterious forebodings The light
and joyous laugh of childhood rings as death.
knell in his ear, and their rattling noise and
pattering feet only serve to remind him Of the
falling clods upon his coffin-lid. The light of
woman's bright and beaming eyes never light
up his sorrowful moments; her gentle admo-
nitions never break the monotony Of his cheer
less life; and when his last hour arrives, no
kind hand smoothes the pillow, no prayerful
voice ascends TO the throne of the Most High,
pleading for hope and mercy. Gloomily he
lives, dreadfully he dies.-Asylum Journal.
