Tuscan Braid by Machinery Mr.. Elisha Fitz-
gerald, IS Christie street, has patented a most
beautiful machine for making Tuscan braid, by
quality, can be braided in day; whereas the best
of braders by hand requires two weeks to complete
the same quantity the texture of Mr.. Fitzgerald's
braid being altogether superior in completeness,
evenness, and finish, to the very best Italian. The
Importance of this invention may be estimated,
when it is considered that the importation of Tus-
can braid into this country averages nearly $780,,
600 per annum. The machine is too complicated
to admit Of an Ineligible description, without da
grams Every thing is set in motion by turning
crank---feeding the fingers with new straws, cut
ting Of the ends of the used up ones, beating up
the wool of the braid, and in short, everything that
most dexterous set of Tuscan fingers ever accom-
which they could never attain. NJ y Tribune.

CoURTING AN OLD MAID IN DIS

tlemaD Of our city, who had exhausted MS WIS III
playing tricks, and had almost become terror to
his family and relations, who are OF the higher or
der of society in point of wealth, some weeks ago
struck upon a new mode of having sport. He had
noticed anold maid who was intimate with his moth
err, and who we learn, had never been made SO
happy as to have beau. Her age was fifty her
native land, England: Our youngster determined
that he would court this old maid, and for this pur-
pose procured a suit Of English breeches, wig
and other things to suit disguise of young Oach.
elor of fifty Thus metamorphosed into spruce
old man, he approached the old maid, ana by MS
suavity of manner and changed but winning VOICE,
completely succeeded in making love 70 her, WIN
out the least suspicion of his Identity she return
ed his caresses and kisses in most perfect frenzy
of delight Never BEFORE in all her born days had
she felt the electric fire of lovers kiss. Her vr-
gin bosom forgot its age and revelled in the glow
ing passion of spring-tme of life; the warm but
undisturbed blood of sixteen now, for the first
time, beating and throbbing in heart of fifty.
This was most exciting scene for the young
scamp; it was so funny he could not keep it to him
self; so he let his mother know it, and she, quick
thought, determined to punish her son for the inn
position he had practced upon her old and respect
able maiden friend. She, therefore, feigned not to
believe him, stating that it was impossible that he
impose upon the old maid. The son proposed that
he would demonstrate the fact, by his mother hap
pening in when he and his dame were together In
the mean time, the mother visited her old friend,
and she become satisfied of the perfdy Of the young
man, and both resolved vengence When the
day came for the next visit, the mother happened
in, sure enough, but very few minutes satisfied
the imposing party that he had got into a bad ball
of wax The doors were Immediately locked, when
the mother and the old maid each pulled out whip
from under their aprons, and the way the young
man with an old look and counting propensios got
thrashed was caution to all impostors. The fury
of the insued maid as violent as had been her
passion, and the back, legs, face and arms of her
puandam louer attested to it. In the syncope state
following, it was disclosed by the old 'un" that
her wedding day had been appointed, and the we'd
ding dress prepared. The last heard of our
once metamorphosed lover, he was recovering of

By life is not like foot.mark, leaf or flower,
For their existence is but for an hour
They die, and leave no trace
And tho the sea may sound note Of grief,
And evening-dews weep for the flower and leaf
They never more have place!
And this so beautious earth, and sky and sen,
Shall fade and pass away-aye, they shall be
Converted back to nothing, at His breath
Who breathed within my soul the breath oflife-
And me with that endowed, which midst the strife
Ofcrumbling- shall triumph over death,
In 6eathle,s things, and not in fading leaf,
Or aught whose date like summers rose, is brief
An emblem do find
Ofthat which unto MAN alone was given
An amaranthine hower--to bloom in Heaven--
Tile immortal mind.
Then rise my sopl--rise ever, keep in view
Thy hon.e,-tho' dropping flowers strew

Oh. weep not DER them!--fhey were born TO fade
