Handsome CORRESPONDENCE,

The Wing Scythe Smiths of North
Wayne, Maine, lately made a present to
Henry Clay of a half dozen wheat and
the same number of corr sythes. In a
letter of presentation the Smiths say:
You will regard this present as a slight
token of that respect and esteem in which
we hold your eminent public services
We hope the steel of these Scythes will
prove as true as your patriotism has shown
itself in the many trying situations in
which you have been placed, and that
you may reap crops proportional to the
harvests which the country has reaped
from that system of protection to our own
industry, of which you have been the
leading Champion.
We feel pleased to learn that you are
opposed to the present war, prosecuted
against a weak and distracted neighbor-
ing Republic, that was begun in Lzfamy
that is prosecuted for Congueat-and
must end in Disgrace-whose soil has
been crinsoned with the blood of our
nobIest SONS, and whitened with the
bones of American citizens.
Mr.. Clay acknowledges the receip: Of
the scythes, just in time to test the value
of their steel, and adds:
Yes! gentleman. | certainly concur with
you in ~dePrecating this Mexican War,
the causes which brought it about, and
the manner of its commencement.
l sincerely wish that every bayonet and
sword employed in its prosecution, by
both belligcrents. were converted into
scythes, plow-shares and axes, and they
dedicated to their respective uses in the
innocent and peaceful arts of life.
Spoken like a Christian Statesman,
Henry Clay!

and Investigation, this young gentleman,
now only 90 years of age, has succeeded
IN framing ineligible rules aud direc-
tons, whereby he can impart to others
the power of performing all these with
the same facility thai characterizes his
own performances. This remarkable
faculty was first developed in him at the
age OF FIVE years, before he was capable
of perceiving the rationale or explaining
the method of his process. His more
mature intellect enables him not only to
execute the most abstruse calculation in
every department OF mathematical SCI
ence, but to point out a short road for ar
irving at the same result, to all who COM
INIT themselves to his guidance.
His rules are so ineligible that a half
hours attention last evening enabled US
to execute by his process problems in all
the simple rules of the arithmetic, as well
as in vulgar fractions and the calculations
of interest. The faculty with which the
adding up of long columns of figures by
this method is accomplished it is not only
a matter Of curiosity and wonder, but of
the greatest practical interest in almost
every department Of business.-N Y.

wonderful Mathematician Genius.

Mr.. P. M. Deshong, of Lancaster Co.
Pa. has demonstrated to us his ability to
solve almost every species of arithmetical
problem in the shortest conceivable space
of time At his request we sat down
FIVE long columns of figures, out of his
sight, to which he appended the sum the
instant they were submitted to him, as
rapidly as the figures could be written.--
He added a column Of fifteen vulgar frac-
tons of different denominations, with the
same rapidity and apparent ease. He
put underneath a single column offigures,
SO long as to preclude the responsibility
ofhis reading them during the time occu-
pied, their sum at sight. He multiplied
five figures by five, setting the product be-
low instantly in a single line. In the
same way he divided any number of6g-
ures into a greater, and commenced wri-
ting the result by setting down the re-
mainder.
Mr.. Deshong has approached SO near
solving the quadrature of the circle, that
after he had arrived at the 628th figure,
the decimal left was only L. Archimedes
the great mathematician of antiquity, af-
ter extending his calculation to 126 fig
ures, gave it up in despair, it having be-
come SO extremely complicated.
After twelve years of intense study

ture to say there is not. On the contra
ry, we have known a slight offence visited
by a slight retaliation, when regret for
having resorted to it was far from being
slight or Of brief duration. And we think
we may confidently assure any person,
young or old, who is determined TO re-
t~aliate, that he or she will probably have
the worst in the encounter. There is a
satisfaction in forgiving an injury. which
a ~revengeful spirit never experienced;
whether the injury is done to our pros

we can make is TO forgive.

A Beautiful Figure.

Life is beautifully compared to q foun-
tain fed by a thousand streams that per-
lsh it one be dried. 1t is a silver cord
twisted with a thousand strings, that part
assunder ifone be broken. Frail and
thoughtless mortals are surrounded by
Innumerable dangers, which make it much
more strange that they escape SO long,
than that they almost all perish suddenly
at last. We are encompassed with acct
dents every day to crush the Wondering
tenements which we inhabit. The seeds
OF disease are planted in our constitutions
by nature. The earth, and atmosphere
whence we draw the breath of life, are
impregnated with death; health is made
to operate its own destruction. The
food that nourishes contains the elements
OF decay; the soul that animates it by vivi-
Tying first, tends to wear it out by its W
action; death turks in ambush along the
paths. Notwithstanding this is the truth
SO palpably confirmed by the daily exam
Piles before our eyes, how little do we
lay it to heart! We see our friends and
n%eighbors among us, but how seldom does
it occur to our thoughts that our knell
shall perhaps give the next fruitless war
ming to the world

1.-THE faithful" lfit had travelled a lit
tie faster, it might have made the Con-
vention almost exclusively Wig. A
mong others who have alluded to it, the
editor of the Cincinnati Herald, writing
from Chicago, says;--"I am sorry 10 see
so few active DEMOCRATS in atten-
dance. Neither Cass, Benton, Wright,
flanagan, nor BreeSe, all of whom were
expected, are present, Wright and Ben

Enthusiastically kept non-committed,
while it is said that both he and Breese
turned homewards, after having started
for the Convention, on receiving a copy
of the Washington Union, de~nouncing it.
For this, however, l do not vouch, al
though Wentworth says in his paper, that
the course of the Government Organ has
kept away, "meni in Office, and who want
Office" | shonld think it bad party pol
icy, at least, for the Democracy to make
this a Wing Convention"

UNIVERSAL PRoTECTIoN FROM LIGHT.
NING.-Prof. Olmstead, of Yale College,
is confident in the generally expressed o.
pinion that telegraphic wires have an
important effect On electricy. He says:
Gas the storm comes up, and espe-
cially when over the wires, say fifty or a
hundred miles distant, the lightning is at.
tracted by the wires, which can be prov.
ed by any one remaining in the telegraph
Office for half an hour. About the time
the storm is coming up, the wires are con,
tinually filed with electricity. 1t is my
opinion we shall never have very heavy
thunder showers or hear of lightning
striking, as long as we have telegraphic
wires strung over the earth"

EVAt the recent exhibition of the
Horticultural Society at Cincinnati, Mr..
Longworth exhibited two plants of the
Cactus Grandfower Might Blooming
Cerus) in full bloom at midday. The
Towering was retarded by placing the
plants in q room adjoining an ice-house.
1t is said that those varieties of the APP
pie or Pear that bear, only in alternate
years, if kept through a year in a quies-
cent state in an ice.house, will be thrown
out Of their regular year of bearing. So
that a person could graft half his apples
in the above way, and half with ordinary
gratis, and thus be sure of crops on half
his trees every year, instead of crops Oh
all hiS trees every other year.
Mr., %Longworth says, in a note to the
Society:
II will, next meeting, show you the
ninth wonder of the world. When at
New Orleans, three years since, a lady
presented me with a dried up plant that
for three years had been deposited in her
bedroom, and neverin contact with earth
or water. 1t has been on a shelf in my
room for three years, and for six years
has been as dry and shriveled as a root
of Parsley would be after being six years
out of the ground in a warm room. l
will in three hours thereafter show it to
you fully expanded, in full growth and
vigor."

HARVESTING M%ACHINE.--A correspon-
dent, writing from Michigan to the New
York Evangelist, says:
"a field of sixty acres was harvested
in two days as follows: A machine was
drawn into the field by sixteen horses,
guided by as many boys as necessary
On the front of the machine a man was
Stationed to adjust the forks and circular
knives to the height of wheat which was
readily thrown back into the machine
No more was seen of it, till another man
in the rear part of machine was seen ty-
ing up well filled sacks of pure grain, in
perfect order, for the Touring mill. This
huge machine (of the best wheat) har-
vested and bagged three bushels in a
minute"
