One Of the editors Of the Richmond
Wing, who has been spending some
time at the East, in the examination OF
the various manufacturing establish
men,s of that prosperous section of our
country, describes in one Of his recent
letters visit to the "Lowell Carpet
ManuIactory," where he suddenly found
himself in the midst Of more than fifty
looms, "lrom which seemed to spring "
he remarks, "as if by magic, some OF
the most beautiful figures in wool he
had ever seen" lie adds
Until entering the building, where
we found large number Of HE Lowell
GirlS" weaving carpets, had no con-
ceptlon whatever OF the great perfection
to which this kind Of work has been
brought in this country. The carpets
then being made, by the only power
looms AID first ever known or used, in
any country, were equal in richness and
beauty to any thing Of the kind it is pos.
slble TO produce. And was forcibly
struck upon examining the style of car
petIng manufactured at Lowell, to find
that II was the very article that many of
our merchants have TO mark German" "
from The fact that there are many peo-
pie IN this country who imagine tba,
carpetng cannot he made any where
else than across the waters. That such
an idea is not only prejudicial to Ameri.
can Industry, but also exhibits want
of information do not hesitate to say.
Why should not an article manufactur-
ed in this country be as good as that
made elsewhere ! And why should we
not loster our own enterprising arti-
zans, in preference to those abroad F.?
In being guided through the ''carpet
building" by an intelligent youth, who
seemed to take pleasure in showing me
that some things could be done in this
conniry as well as others, was taken
into that part Of The factory where
"Chanile" and "Tult" Rugs are made.
Here again, to see the exquisite" per-
iection of some of the Lowell rugs sur
priscd me beyond measure. And, |
was struck again with the fact, that
many Of those very Lowell Rugs would
have TO undergo a German" or Eng
lish" stamp, before the people of Amer
ica could be made to appreciate them.

BLANKETS.
To be read on a COLI night in December.
BY "oLD HUMPHREY"

Help me my young friends. Help me, for
the poor stand in need of comfort let us try
to do them a kindness.
How the easements rattle! and bark how
the bitter, biting blast whistles among the
trees. 1t is very cold, and will soon be cold

when the .cicIes hang upon the water-butt,
when the snow lies deep upon the ground,
and the cold, cold wind seems to freeze The
heart as well as the finger ends.
Yet, after all, the darkest night, the bitter
est blast, and the rudest storm confer some
benefit, for they make us thankful for the roof
that covers US, the fire that warns us, and for
the grateful influence of I comfortable bed.
On the luxury Of a good, thick, warm pair
Of blankets, when the wiHtry blast rolrs in
the chimney, while the ieathery flakes Of
snow are flying abroad, and the sharp hail
pattcrS against the window panes!
Did you ever travel a hundred miles on the
outside of a coach on a sharp frosty night;
your eyes stidtned, your face smarting, and
your body half petgiiied |! Did you ever keep
watch in December in the open air, till the
more than midnight blast had pinched all
your features into sharpness; till your feet
wee cold as a stone, and the very stars APP
pelred as If frozen to the sky! If you have
never borne these things, | have; but what
are they compared with the trials that some
people have TO endure.
WAC can tell the suiIGrings of thousands
of poor people in winter, from the want of
warm bed clothes and who can describe the
comfort that a pair or two of blankets com

INSTINCT OF CHILDHOOD.
BY JOHN NEAL.

A beautiful child stood near a large open
window. The window was completely over
Swallowed by wild grape and blossonin.
honey-suckle, and the droopi.g branches ola
prodigious elm-the largest and hGndsomest
you ever saw. The child was leaning for
ward with half-open mouth and thoughtful
eyes, looking into the armament of green
leaves forever at play, that appeared to over
hang the whole neighborhood; and her loose
bright hair, as it broke away in the cheerful
morning wind, glittered like stray sunshine
among the branches and blossoms.
Just underneath her feet, and almost with
in reach of her little hand, swung a larre and
p%rettily covered bird cage, all open to the sky!
The broad plentiful grape leaves lay upon it
In heaps-the morning wind blew pleasantly
through it, making the very music that birds
and children love best-and the delicate
branches of the dropping elm swept over it
and the glow Of poisoning heritage round
about fell with a sort of shadowy lustre up
on the basin Of bright water, and the floor Of
glittering sand within the cage.
We'll, If ever :" said the child; and then
she stopped and pulled away the trailing
branches and looked into the cage; and then
her lips began to tremble, and her soft eyes
filled with tears.
Within the cage was the mother bird, flut-
ieging and whistling-not chcerfully, but
mcufnfully-and beating herself to death
against the delicate wires; and three little
.its Of birds Watching her, open mouthed.
lnl tfying to follow her from perch to perch,
- she opened and shut her golden wings,
Ike sudden flashes of sunshine, and darted

lrubhery.

TRUE REST.

Sweet is the pleasure,
Itself cannot spoil!
Is not true leisure
One with true toll!
Thou that wouldst taste it,
Still do thy best;
Use it, not waste it,
Else It's no rest.
Wouldst behold beauty
Near thee? all round!
Only hath duty
Such a sight found.
Rest is not quitting
The bnsy career;
Rest is the fitting
OF self to its sphere.
IT'S the brooks motion,
Clear without, strife,
Fleeing to ocean
After its life.
Deeper devotion
Nowhere hath knelt;
Fuller emotion
Heart never felt.
IT'S loving and serving
The highest and best!
IT'S ONWARD! answering,
And that is true rest.

Speed them onward far and fast;
Over hill and valley, speed them,

Lo! the Empire State is shaking

With the rugged North is waking
The level sunset land!

Pat thereupon handed the captain two
cents, and cooily tod him that he believed
that he would not 90 any further with him,
as indy would want her breakfast, not know

The joke was SO good that the captain
took the cents, ordered the boat to stop, help

he should be most happy to carry him.
