A celebrated India rubber firm Of this city
have recently fixed up contrivance which will
eulble man to fling himself into the river with
perfect mpunty and there float too as pleas
antly as he likes, and as long as he chooses -
only using his dlgits for propulsion whlhersoov-
er he lists. The thing was properly tested one
day last week, about noon, when young gen.
tleman named Lowell, leaping from a steamboat
at the Soath Ferry, went out with the current
and returned with the food tide to Castle Gar
den, about five o'clock, having been four hours
In the water. He came out perfectly dry and
warm, to the establishment and satisfaction of
number of gentlemen who witnessed the com L.
mencement and close of tho excursion. He re-
GREETED that he did not take along newspaper
or book, to while away the time IN Y. Re.
corder.

The Social Circle.

Oh it is beautiful to have the little nook cal
led home, into which one may retire from the
cares of the world. 10 our social circle, we are
secure from deception, there we have friendship
without interest, the smiles and voices of affect
ION chase the shadow from the brow and hoavi-
ness from the heart. No matter how dark the
out gu door word may be, its gloom cannot reach
the blessed social circle.

First Knowledge of Electricity.

First knowledge of Electricity.
If piece of amber, electrum, is brskly rub
bed, it acquires the property Of attracting to it
! light bodies. This curious power attracted tile
attention of Thales of Mlletus; and from the
investigation of this Grecian philosopher we
must date our knowledge Of one of the most i'm
portant Of the natural forces-Electriciy.
If all inquiring mind had not been led to ask
why does this vegetable product attract feath-
er, the present age, in all probability, would not
have been in possession of the means by which
it is enabled to transmit intelligence with ra-
pdty which is excelled only by that of the
...s stfik7ng lesson
does this teach. Modern utility would regard
Ihales as madmun. Holding piece of yell
low resin in his hand, rubbing it, and then pick
ing up bits of down, or catching floating feath-
ers, the old Greek would have appeared very
mbecile, and the cui bono generation would
have laughed at his silly labors. But when he
announced to his school that this amber held a
soul or essence, which was awakened by friction,
and went forth from the body in which it previ-
ously lay dormant, and brought back the small
particle floating around it, he gave to the world
the first hint of great truth which has adyanc-
ed our knowledge of physical phenomenon in
a marvellous manner, and ministered to the re.
fnements and to the necessities of civilization

FAIR LAND


FAIR LAND.
Softly the breezes blow,
Tanning the day;
Brightly the vallies glow,
Meath the stars ray;
Calmly the waters flow
Into those seas;
Sweetly the flowers grow,
Deigning to please;
Mildly the winter night
Cools the dull air;
Quickly it takes its flight,
Vanishing there.
Nature is bounteous,
Free with her gifts,
Scattered tumultuous
Ger thy wide plains.
Fertile thy vallies arc,
Sweet are their streams ).
Found not a better there,
Der the broad main
Dear though thou ever art,
Lovely and bright,
Doth not some lonely heart
Mourn at the sight?
Aie not the slaves deep groans
Heard on thy plains
Whence comes those frequent moana,
Signing and tears;
Sing ye of liberty,
Calling il dear!
Know ye that slavery
Follows so near?
Have we not millions now
Bound fast in chains?
Cause ye these heads to bow?
Dark are your stains!
Say F.! shall your country weep
Der her deeds?
Shall they forever sleep?
Mercy still pleads.
Rise now at freedoms call
Shamcd at your crimes
Slavery's vile shackles fall,
All her foul deeds,
say'is me country free,
Roasting so loud?
Slaves, can you not now see +?
Answer ye proud. F. C. Z.

For Joy sprinkles blossoms

And all the bright future
In couler de rose.

When hill, grove and valley
Their music impart,
And tho pure glow Of heaven
II seen in fond eyes,
A. lakes show the rainbow
That's hung in the skies.
The autumn OF love

Life's mild India summer,
The smile Of the yer,
Which comes when the golden,
Ripe harvest 10 stored,
And yield. its own blessing

While the storm scowls without
From the sunshine within.

The heart 10 his throne,
And he hss oil seasons

dent 10 avert tbs loss Of her property
She concealed the death Of her husband,
and prevailed upon m old cobbler, her
ncighbor, who was ia person somewhat like
the deceased, 10 60 % he'd nj her house, and
personate him, in which character il Was
agreed that lie should dicintc . will, Icav.
ing the widow the estate in question. An
attorney was accordingly sent ior TO pre-
pare the required document, and the wild
ow on his arrival, appeared 10 be under the
greatest affection At her good mnn's dan
ger, but forthwith proceeded to ask ques-
tions Of her pretended husband calculated
10 elicit tho answer she expected aud deaf
red. The old cobblcr, groaning aloud and
looking ss much like person going to give
up The ghost . possible, feebly answered,
II intend 10 lenve you half my estate, and
! do think the poor old shoemaker, who lives
over tho way is deserving ol tie other half.
fnr he Inns always been good neighbor :"
The widow WINS thunder struck nj receiving
n reply SO different 10 that which she en-
pecsed, but dared not negative the cobblcr's
will for fear Of losing the whole of the prop.
ery, while the cunning old rogue in bed,
who WINS himself the poor shoemaker. living
over the why, laughed in his sleeve, and
divided with her the fruits IL project
which the widow Ind intended for her own
