Writing by the hind.

We had the pleasure oil seeing and testing
yesterday a new and very simple apparatus,
made for the purpose Of facilitating blind per-
sons in the process Of writing.
Many expedients have been tried, but the
complex nature, bulk, and costliness of almost
every invention looking to the accomplish
ment Of this desideratum, together with their
liability to arrangement, have made cali
graphy one Of the most difficult branches Of
the system of education adopted. Blind
persons can never tell, when using any Of
the inventions most in use, whether the letter
is properly formed, and for the purpose Of
securing regularity in the lines, and in the
distance Of words from each other, expedients
are resorted to which while they are uncer-
tain in their operation, and vasteful Of space,
require, also, much time for their proper APP
phcation.
The invention to which we now draw at
tention, is fiat board, somewhat larger than
half sheet of foolscap, covered by channels
leather drawn tightly over it. Two catches
are placed at one end to receive and hold
immoveably an edge Of thin brass plate
cut into small squares, at equal distances,
the number Of perforatons being somewhat
more than a thousand. When brought into
use sheet Of paperis placed on the leather;
over it the brass plate is laid, and the writer,
by the aid Of pencil, pen or bold steel point
marks in the squares the letters, the differ
ence in words being secured by passing a
square and commencing the new word in the
. next one. The processis so simple, and the
perforated plate is so efectual guide that
the writer cannot go wrong, and his manu-
script has not only a fair and regular appear
ance, such as it is almost impossible to gain
BY any other process, but he is enabled to
get a great deal more upon single sheet
than formerly
This valuable apparatus is the result Of the
thought and ingenuity of Mr. Thomas S.
Martin, the principal teacher in the Penn
sylvania Institute for the Instruction Of the
mind, and he has presented il to the Direc-
tors, who have accepted the gift and caused
it to be introduced into the Institution This
example, il is confidently believed, will be
initiated by the Institutions in New York,
Boston, indianapolis, and elsewhere.
The advantages, il seems, are-hrst in en-
abling the blind to print on paper by means
Of steel point, for the blind to read sec
ondly, in the facility it offers for writing with
pencil on common paper for seeing persons
to read; and lastly in the impossibility Of de-
ranging it, or Of its soon wearing out.
Mr. Martin has thus given boon to the
blind, the value Of which cannot BE estima-
ted and to make the invention perfect, he
has adopted an angular alphabet, which any
one can read, while it enables the blind al
most entirely to follow the fixed lines Of the
perforation in which the letter is made.
Those Of the afflicted who have used it,
we learn, speak in the highest terms Of it,
and Mr.. Martin deserves great praise not
only for the invention, but for generously re-
framing from deriving any pecuniary benefit
from it--Phila. North Amer.

An exquisite poem-by d. r mccarthy, published in the

Las Mandnas Jaoridas
De AbrH v Mdyo.-CALDERoS.
All my heart is ever waiting
Waiting for the May
Waiting for the pleasant rambles,
Where the fragrant hawthorn branlbles,
" With the woodbine alternating,
Scent the dewy way.
All my heart Is weary waiting
Waiting for the May.
An, my heart lie sick with longing,
Longing for the May
Longing 10 escape from study
To the young face fair and ruddy,
And the thousand charms belonging
To the summers day.
All. my heart Is sick with longing.
Longing for the May.
Ali my heart is sore with signing,
Signing for the May
Signing for the sure returning,
When the summer beams are burning,
Hopes and flowers that dead or dying,
All the winter lay
All! my heart Is sore with signing,
Signing for the May.
Ali my heart is sore with throbbing
Throbbing for the May
Throbbing for the seaside pillows,
Or the water-wooing willows;
Where In laughing and In sobbng,
Glide the streams away.
Ali my heart, my heart Is throbbing,
Throbbing for the May.
Waiting, sad, detected weary,
Waiting for the May
Spring goes by with wasted warnings
aloon-lit evening, sun-bright mornings
Summer comes, yet dark and dreaTy
Lies III Gibbs away
Man Is ever weary, weary,
Waiting for the May
