Army Blacksmith Shops.

We saw yesterday, on the landing,
several of the portable blacKsmith shops
intended for the army, and they are
unquestionably among the most useful
ofihs ages inventions. They are so
contrived that operations may begin at
moments notice, at any point. There
are the bellows, and the tools, the anvil
and vice, all compactly arranged in
distinct compartments, and occupying
no more space than an ordinary wag-
on. The whole apparatus has the ap.
Pearance Of a piece of gold artillery,
mounted, and can be conveniently
drawn BY two horses, with the necss.
sary hands comfortably seated. The
fore-part, containing the forge and vice,
detaches as in artillery, and four men
---blower, striker, and filers---may O.

where at any time, in FIVE minutes. An
itinerant blacksmith might make good

machines. Who is the inventor7---Cin.

We are indebted to John Taylor,
ESQ.,, of Liverpool, for several interest,"
ing astronomical notices published by
him during the past year in the public
prints Of that city.---but we believe we
have not hitherto referred to the ap-
preaching expected return Of the comet
of 1856, with the discussion OF which
one of those notices is occupied. Az
long since as 1881, Mr.. Richard Du-
throne, Of Cambridge, England, on com.
putting the elements Of the comet of
1894, found them so similar to the com.
ct Of 1856, that he was led to the con.
clusion that the two were identical, and
that its return might be expected about
184S. Subsequent Investigations which
have been made by different astrono-
mers confirm this conclusion; and
there is, therefore, good reason to look
for the ere.appearancs Of this come! dur
ing the year lS48, although It would not
bs surprising if this event should hapr
pen even a year earlier or later

Fourth Of July, 1776;
A LEGEND OF THE REVOLUTION


BY GEORGE LIPPARD.
Let mo paint you picture on the
canvass Of the Past.
It is a cloudIess summer day. Yes,
clear blue sky arches and smiles above
a quaint edifice, rising among giant
trees, in the centre Of a wide city,
That edifce is built of red brick, with
heavy window frames and a massy
hall door. The wide spreading dome
of st. Peters, the snowy pillars OF
the Parthenon, the gloomy glory of
Westminster Abbey--none of these
nor any thing like them are here, to ele-
vate this edifice Of plain red brick, into
gorgeous monument OF architecture.
PLAIN red brick, the walls; the win
dows partly framed in stone; the roof
caves heavy with intricate carvings;
the hall door ornamented with pillars
of dark stone; such is the State House
Of Philadelphia in this year ofour Lord,
l776.
Around this edifce stately trees arise.
Yonder toward the dark walls Of Wal
nut street goal, spreads pleasant lawn,
enclosed by plain board fence, above
our head, these trees lock their massy
limbs and spread their leafy canopy.
There are walks here too, not fash
ioncd as squares and circles, but spread
ing in careless negligence along the
lawn. Benches too, rude benches, on
which repose the forms Of old men with
grey hairs, and women with babes in
their arms. q
This is a beautiful day, and this is a
pleasant lawn: but why do those clus-
ters Of citizens with anxious faces gath
or around the State House walls?---
There is tho merchant in his velvet

The Pauper's Grave.

No sculptured stone, no dropping tree,
Bends lowly Ger his narrow bed;
Not e'en rude cross imagery,
To tell where sleeps the pauper dead.
titles within the graveyard lone,
A little barren, sardy knoll;
And only by its shape is known,
Where sleeps the palace of a soul.
He came unfriended and unknown,
Worn down by sickness, grief, and care;
He died unwept, unmarked, alone;
They buried him, uncared for here.
No funeral hearse, no noddIng plume,
No weeping train his coffin bore; i4
No fearful eyes wept at his doom,
4. No form the badge of mourning wore.
A shallow grave in haste was made,
A hurried prayer his body DER;
Then carelessly within was laid
They turned away, for he was poor.
What cared they for the pauper dead7
The almshouse men, Why, with zest
= They piled the cold sand o'er his head,
J And threw the last clod with jest.
What cared they for him! They had done
The same for many oft before,
Until their heart had callous grown,
And turned Implying from the poor.
How many pass, with careless tread,
This plain, undecorated pile,
Nor give thought that in this bed
% A fellow mortal sleeps the while.
Go ask those who dug his grave
Ask them who here his body brought,
"Who sleeps beneath" They cannot tell
His very name they have forgot.
Rest, fellow mortal! sweetly sleep,

It's flowers shall o'er thee incense weep,
And strew their fragrance Ger thy bed.
Poor brother man! sleep on unknown

Be laid 10 rest--I too am poor.
What need we care! The birds will sing

The flowers as rich fragrance fling,
As DER the boasting stone hard by.
And it may be, as days roll round,
Some noble soul in passing by,
May pause beside our UNMARKED mound,
And for the unknown heave sigh.
And would rather thus 'twould be,
One kind soul o'er me bending low;
One generous heart to weep for me,
Than all the tears Of hireling wo.
And when the final morn shall break,
Earth melt, and skies be veil'd in gloom,
To greater joys we may awake,
& Than some who boast a richer tomb.

A Powerful Truth.

There is great truth in this commentary of able

press regard to the alleged abuse of General Taylor is
taken into consideration While the democratic papers,
without an exception, have sustained and applauded
General Taylor the federal papers have been industrious
in exang the merits of the Mexican generals, and IN
deprecang those OF many of the Americans Indeed, the
only attacks that haze been made upon General Taylor
hare been made by federal newspapers But IN nothing
has this spirit of false complaint and unjust criticism been
Extensively exhibited in the constant assaults and
OF the federal press upon the volunteer officers
And why Because in nine cases out OF ten, they are
democrats and because they represent the great popular
principle, and chosen upon the broadcast republican
doctrines This is fact which cannot fail TO have its
due influence upon these gallant and dsnteresed soldiers
when they return TO demand final settlement with
their "absent friends."-Pennsyluania

The Presidents reception has been cordial and worthy
well of bis position chief magistrate of the country
of the great city whose guest he is We cannot omit to
notice of the novel characteristics aud honorable lea
of this reception For the first time in several
the mayor and common council of New York belonged &c
the wing party; Mr.. Polk hns been received by his po
cal adversares, and the democratic President seated
between a wing mayor and alderman. But all party
divisions disappeared in the discharge of public duty
and if the democrats cheered, in MIR. Polk the
their political convictions the wings noby greeted the first
magistrate of their country.
"This respect for authortyths Of the minor
