God in History.

The ruins of kingdoms! The relics of nigh
ty empires that we're! The overthrow or decay
of the master-works of man is, of all objects
that enter the mind, the most affecting. The
high-wrought perfection of beauty and art seems
born but to perish; and decay is seen and felt
to be an inherent law of their being. But such
is the nature of man, that even while gazing
upon the relics of unknown nations, which have
survived all history, he forgets his own perishable
nation in the spectacle of enduring great
ness.
We know of no spectacle so well calculated
to teach human humiliation, and convince us of
the utter fragility of the proudest monuments of
art, as the relics which remind us of vast popu-
Iations that have passed from the earth, and the
empires that have crumbled into ruins. We
read upon the ruins of the past the fate of the
present. We feel as if the ciues of men we're
built on foundations beneath which the earth
quake slept, and that we abide in the midst Of
the same doom which has already swallowed SO
much Of the records of mortal magnifcence.-
Under such emotions, we look on all human
power as foundationless, and view the proudest
nations of the present as covered only with the
mass of their desolation,

We remember, long time gone by, when a lit
school boy-the master, a famous New Eng
land pedagogue, who has migrated Southwest
ward to exercise his passion for whipping school
boys and "niggers," undertake to lick us into
the classics. He whipped and scolded, scolded
and whipped, for two or three years, and we
grew dulIer and duller. AT last he seemed TO
have discovered his error he patted US on the
head, told us to learn as much as we could,
promise to punish no more. and returned all our
marbles, knives, balls, and other play-things,
which, one by one had been taken awaY and
locked in his strong desk. Then we reused up
school became a pleasant place, books a treas
ure, and we learned; but ask our old school-mates
how they wondered at the transformation Of the
s~piritless, idle blockhead into an ambitious, ever
thirsty book-worm. Would our readers impart
such a spirit to us now? let them cease fault
finding, keep us from pinching poverty, by prompt
advance payments, encourage us by adding sub
scribers constantly to cur list, and they may trust
us for the rest"

TIE WAY IT Is DONE.

The Albany Patriot in noticing the improved
manner in which the Pittsburgh Spirit Of Libcr-
ty has been conducted for several months past,
asks-"What has come over it Of late? 1t is
greatly improved. There is pith and pathos,
energy and ability in ii now-a-days that former
ly it had not yet it is under the same conduc.
tor that it has been for some time past. Has the
editor tapped new vein of ore, a deeper and
richer streak in his soul, that he did not know
he was lord of som time since? OF have the
friends Of freedom made his bread and cheese
condition more favorable? Mercy! That wakes
up genius the quickest, Let an editor once find
his readers paying him well for his toll, and he
would hesitate at nothing that is manly to please
them. How much subscribers lose by being
stingy and f%orgetful. Keep your editors well, il
you want them fearless, bold, true-hearted. Do
you know how the soul sinks, becomes wing.
weary, turns from an eagle into a mud-duck,
when the body is fed on air, and the EDITORS coat
has holes in the elbows? Something has chan
ged the Spirit of Liberty" To this the editor
ofthe Spirit replies "Friend Jackson, you must
be a wizard-you have the secret exactly of our
waking up. Our subscription list as increasing
steadily-we feel that there are true hearts SYM
pathizing with us-that we are not labofing IN
vain, "casting pearls before swine'-and that
will make a pretty good editor out ofthe dullest
block ofhumanity.
That tells the whole story. We leave our rea-
ders to draw their own differences, and to act as
their own good sense may dictate.
We give, as an appropriate conclusion to this
article, another extract from the Spirit, which
occurs in another connection, though upon the
same general subject. We think it instructive.

A Chapter about the India Rubber Tree,
The following account of the mode in which
the very useful and increasingly important arti-
Gle of commerce, named caoutchonc, is obtained,
will we doubt not, prove interesting to our read
ers. We are indebted for the statement to the
Brazilian correspondent Of an American pa
per.
"The caoutchouc tree grows in geneI.l, a
the height of forty or fifty feet without branChcs,
then branching, runs up fifteen feet higher
The leaf is about six inches long, thin, and sha-
ped like chat of a peach tree. The trees show
their working, BY the number of knots, or bunch
es, made by tapping; and a singular fact is, that,
like a COW, when most tapped, they give most
milk or sap,
AS the time of operating is early day, before
sunrise we were ready. The blacks are first
sent through the forest, armed with a quantity Of
soft clay, and small p~ick.axe. On coming to
one of the trees, aportion of soft clay is formed
into a cud and stuck to the trunk. The black
then striking his pick over the cup, the sap
oozes out slowly, a tree giving daily about a
gill. The Taper continues in this way, tapping
perhaps fifty trees, and with a Jar, passing over
the same ground, empties his cups. So by sew
en- o'clock the blacks come in with their Jars
ready for working. The sap at this stagete -
senbles milk in appearance, and somewhat IN
taste. 1t is also frequently drank with perfect
safety. If left standing now, it will curdle like
milk, disengaglng a watery substance like whey,
Shoemakers now arrange themselves to form

of milk on one side, and on the other a iagon,
in which is burned a nut peculiar to this coun-
try, emitting a dense smoke, the operator having
his last, or form, held by a long stick or handle,
previously besmeared with soft clay, lin order

the pan, and pouring on the milk until it is COW
cred, sets the coating in the smoke, then giving
it a second coat, repeats the smoking; and y

Qq@slth third and fourth, until the shoe is Of
acquired thickness, averaging from six to
twelve coats When finished, the shoes on the
are placed in the sun the remainder Of the
day TO drip. Next day, if required, they may
be Inquired, being so soft that any impression will
be indeIibly received. The natives are very
dexterons in this werk. With quill and sharp
pointed stick they will produce fnely-lined leaves
and flowers, such as you may have seen on the
shoes, y an incredible short space Of time
After rfnaining on the forms two or three days,
the SHOPS are cut open on the top, allowing the
last to Zip out. They are then tied together
and slu1g on poles ready for the market. There,
petlarsR nd Jews trade FOR them with the coun-
tr9peo4e and in lots of a thousand or more;
they ar aagain sold to the merchants, who have
then Sqlied with straw, and packed in boxes to
egPq,t, in which state they are received in
M tied States. In the same manner, any
shfkA ~rRayb ID manufactured. Thus toys ARC
male over clay forms. After drying, the clay
is broken and extracted. Bottles, &c, in the
same way. According as the gum grows older,
it becomes darker in color and more tough
The number of caoutchouc trees in the province
is countless. In some parts whole forests Of
them exists in Mexico and the East Indies, there
appears to be no Importation into the United
States from these places. The reason suppose
must be the want of that proliGcneSs found in
them here. The caoutchouc tree may be work
ed all the year, but generally in the wet seasons
they have rest, owing to the flooded state of the
woods, and the milk being watery, requires more
to manufacture the same article than in the dry
season."

LEXINGTON TRAGEDY.

There has been great excitement
at Lexington, Ky, in consequence of
the jury being unable to agree in the
case of young Shelby, the murderer of
HORNE. 1t seems that the prisoner
was discharged by Judge Bucknor, up
on recognizance of $4,000. The
Judge and eight of the Jurors have
been burnt in efigy; and MIR. Clay,
SheIby's counsel, very much censured.
The following account of tie murder
from Lexington paper fully justi6es
the Indignation of the people at the
course ofthe Jury and the Judge, though
it by no means excuses any riotous
proceedings.
"Shelby and HORNE We're at the
same hotel-Shelby,is aman of wealth,
but obnoxious in his intercourse with
men. He is the son of Gen. James
Shelby, and grandson of the la.e Gov.
Isaac Shelby. At the time ofthe &C.
currence he had been alienated for
more than a year from his fathers
house-had become Incorporate and
frequently expressed his Indifference
to life. Horne, on the other hand,
was a clerk in one of the mercantile
houses of this city-a member of the
Presbyterian church sober, peaceable,
innocent; and beloved by all who knew
him-poor and fatherless-an aged
mothers hope for the bread of life
HORNE had been accustomed to occu-
ny certain seat at the table; but on
this occasion failed to come until the
table was filled. Shelby occupied his
seat. HORNE stood with his face to
the table, and back to the FIRE, and, as
was ma ural, cast his eyes at Shelby
in his former place. He did this two
or three times; Shelby observed him.
Dinner over, both are in the bar-room;
Shelby approaches HORNE, and de-
manes what he meant by looking at
him at table? HORNE replies that he
has a right to look at any man-knows
Shelby is-no better than any other
men. The scene is then changed to
the pavement at the corner of the ho-
tel-Shelby becomes very angry, vio-
lent and abusive-says it was ID
impairment and ungentlemanly. Ho-
rne replies he will look at him to-mor-
morrow, and when he pleases. Shell
by says, if you do will break your
mouth with tumbler. During all
this alteration Shelby keeps his left
hand going, his right in his pocket,
and HORNE stands with his cloak
wrapped about him and his legs cross
ed. At moment when, from appear
ances, the difficulty has closed, Shell
by slaps HORNE on the right cheek
with his hand, and with his right i'm
mediately draws pistol and shoots
HORNE dead on the spot"
