SEEING THROUGH A BRICK.

no one would suppose that human na-
ture could be gulled 10 part with It's hard
earned cash for the sight of common
card, visible for nothing. But some things
can be done as well as others. A lHosev
looking individual was yesterday attracting
a crowd III front of our office, and making
money hand over hand by showing card
through q brick. On small oblong box
he had two others, placed at right angles,
and on the top Of the latter, two small
tubes with glasses III them, looking like
telescope, cut in two in the middle for the
lnterposition of brick. Setting the brick
on end between the tubes, for two cents he
would allow any anxious gaper to look in
at one end, promising thatif he did not see
the card at the other, straight through the
brick, his money should be returned. Many
lettering errand-boy, or shabby philoso-
pher who had been sorely puzzled before
then to see through the brick in his hat on
retiring from Hadley's, walked up and paid
the two cents, and sure enough, saw the
card straight through the brick No mis-
take. And off he went, wondering at the
miracle, and muttering, :" the devil is in it,
while his serious and awe-struck face excl
ted others to come up and pay their two
cents 10 see the laws of nature at defiance,
and brick made transparent.
If for the two cents, the fellow had made
an explanation of his apparatus, and show
ed his spectators how thev were able to see
the card, around the brick, he might have
been doing some good. As he failed to do
that, we will give a rough diagram illustra-
ting the nature Of his transparent humbug.

From A to B is the intersected tube, the
brick being placed at G.. At the corner c,
is placed a mirror (bit Of looking glass; at
an angle of is degrees, throwing the Ii ght
down to another mirror at d, which, placed
at the same angle, throws it upon another
mirror, at E: so placed as to throw it up to
+, whence a fourth mirror throws it out to-
wards B, just as if nothing had happened
to it. Thus, if card held at A, the eve at
B looking towards A, sees it by the light
reflected around the lower box by the mir
rors, whether there is any brick at G or not.
In precisely the same way you can see
through brick wall. or milestone with
out hole in it, or the back side Of your
head.
We have taken the pains to explain this
to break up petty imposition. but perhaps
its only effect will be to teach other rogues

From the Poems of Alice and Phoebe Carey.
BOOK OF LIGHT,

BOOK OF LIGHT.
Gentlest sister, am weary
Bring, oh bring, the Book of Light!
There are shadows dark and dreary
Settling o'er my heart tonight
That alone can soothe my sadness,
That alone can dry my tears,
When | see no spot Of gladness
Down the dusky vale Of years.
Well | know that inherit
All that sometimes makes ME blest;
And in vain ! ask my spirit
Why this feeling of unrest.
But all day have been around me
Voices that would not be still,
And the twilight shades have found me
Shrinking from nameless i'll.
Seeing not despair's swift lightning
Hearing not the thunders roll,
Hands invisible are tightening
Bands of sorrow on my soul.
Out beneath the jewelIcd arches
Let us bivouac tonight,
And to soothe days dusty marches
Bring, oh bring, the Book of Light.

The Strait WaE to Heaven,

An ltlnerant preacher of more zeal than
discretion, was in the habit of accosting
those he met in his walks, enquiring into
their spiritual welfare. Passing along
country road through a small settlement,
he met simple country fellow driving a
cart, loaded with corn.
Do you believe in God, sir |? said he
10 the cOuntryman.
Yes, sir, was the instant reply.
DO you read your Bible, pray to your
Maker, and attend divine worship regular
lyF
And this string of question, was also an
swered IN the affirmative.
10 on your way rejoicing, my lad
continued he; YOU are on the high way TO
heaven
Clodpole fiourished his whip, and drove
on much delighted, no doubt, with the
blessed intelligence. Anotherperson came
by this time, and he also was interrogated
with very ceremOneous stare.
Do You believe in God ?
What have you 10 do sir, with what
believe ? replied the person accosted, with
look Of surprise.
You are in the gall of bitterness, and
the bond of iniquity,' cried the offended
preacher Look at that poor lad, whist
ling along the road and driving his cart be-
fore he is on the strait way to heaven
1t may be so sir, said the person in
terrogated, 'but to my certain knowledge
If he is on the road there, he is going with
a cart load of stolen corn

Ineombustible Preparation for Wood.

The following receipt for rendering
wood incombustible has been, we believe,
tested in regard TO It's efficacy, and al
though personally we have not seen it
proved, think we can recommend it as be-
ing of much utility, particularly when ap-
piled TO the surface of wooden roofs, or
other places particularly exposed to the
action of fire. 1t is very simple in its
preparation, which requires the operator
merely to take quantity of water proper
tionate TO the surface of the wood he NAV
wish to cover, and add to it as much pot
ash as can be dissolved therein. When
the water will dissolve no more potash.
stir into the solution, first, a quantity of
-four paste, of the consistency of common
painters size second, a sufficiency of
pure clay to render ii of the consistency
of cream. When the clay is well mixed,
apply the preparation, as before directed,
to the wood it will secure it from the ac-
ton of both fire and rain. In a most vio-
lent fire wood thus saturated NAV be car
donated, but it will never blaze If desi-
rable most agreeable color can be given
to the preparation, by adding small guam
tity of red or yellow ochre.-N. T.. Far

The Common Hemloek for Hedges.

Attention is now being directed to the
common American Hemlock as substitute
for the thorn and other deciduous shrubs.
in hedges. 1t has been subjected to reite-
rated trials, ii is said, III various localities
where it is indigenous, and in every in
stance with the most complete success. Ii
has many things To recommend it; among
the more prominent of which NAV be
mentioned its great hardness, and the
slight INJURY, comparatively speaking, it
receives from transportation. 1t is also
well adapted TO every variety of soil and
will flourish with great luxuriance on ordi-
nary lands, without previous preparation
or manure. Extensive lines of this beau
tiuL hedge are to be seen in various sec
tons of Western New York, where It's
cultivation hes been attended, thus far, with
the most astonishing success. As the tree
is an evergreen, Its appearance is necessari-
ly at all seasons extremely ornamental,
presenting i'll Its full, dense foliage a most
refreshing contrast to the dreary monotonv
OF the winter scene, and adding, by its
many attractive beauties, to the leafv glo-
nes of the spring, and the atfluent summer
ity, that of all trees and shrubs yet applied
for this purpose it is the most certain of
success being less liable to injury from
the ordinary evils which so frequently
prove fatal to the thorn, the locust, and
other cognate species of plants, and in no
way Objectionable in consequence of root
sprouts, by which the above-named pro-
ducnons foul the contiguous soil, and pro-
duce suburban progeny, extremely detri-
mental to cultivation, whether directed to
the production of root crops, grain or grass.
ADVICE GRATIs.-One of our exchanges
says BE content as long as your mouth
Is full and body covcred-remember
the poor-kiss the pretty girls-don't rob
your neighbor's henroost--never pick all
editors pocket, nor entertain an idea that
he is going to treat-kick dull care TO the
deuce-black your own boots-sew on
your own buttons, and be sure to take
paper and pay for it. Good practical ad-
vice.
