The Intelligence Of America

We have been much pleased with an artie=
lie lin the May number of Fraser, entitled The
United States of America" 1t exhibits r
comprehensiyenes of mind and fberaliity of
tone towards our country rarely met with in
British periodicals.. The writer, after speaking
of our common school system, says the system
has evidently borne abundant fruits already.
The enterprise and prosperity of the Americas
are to be attributed not to their natural re-
sources, (Mexico is richer and more fruitful
than the United States) but the general en-
ightenment.
The oldest manufacturers of cotton in the
world are the Hindoos; labor with them is
cheaper than ii is in any other part Of the
world; yet the British take the cotton that
grows at the doors of their factories. carry it
$4,000 miles, manufacture it in England,
where labor is SO expensive, take it back 49,
600 miles, and undersell the native manufac
turer. Labor is dearer in America than in any
other part of the world, and yet the British
dread and fear their composition more than
any other nation. The reason of all this is OBJ
yious. All the advantages which the Hindoo
possesses are far more than counterbalanced
by his Intellectual inferiority 10 the British;
while the latter dread the American with rea-
son, because he is, Intellectually at least, their
equal, and, considering the general intelligence
and good conduct of the hands he employs,
their superior To what cause, except that of
deeiddd superiority in Captains and crews
can the British attribute the fact that the
Americans have deprived them of 50 large a
portion of the whale fishery, as in measure to
have monopoIized it? American clocks which
the British now see in almost every hall and
cottage, ought to set them thinking. They
NAV be sure of this, the commerce of the world
will fall into the hands of those who are most
deserving of it Ifpoltical and philanthropic
considerations should fail to show them the
necessity of educating their people, CONNER
cial considerations will one day remind then Of
what they ought TO have done.

A Tight Place,

It is not often that lady gets into closer
squeeze than did the one mentioned in the
following account. Ifthe gentleman was a
democrat she was in the midst of three loco
motives--all progressiyes
"a little before 9o'clock yesterday morning,
as the train wasleaving Newark when rounding
Bergen Cut, gentleman and lady were seen
upon the track The locomotive squealed and
they jumped across on the other track-but
horror! Just ahead was another train, from
Ramapo, on this track, and the next moment
would hurl them into eternity. They had no
room on the outsides of either track from the
embankment- =and not knowing which train
would pass first, were almost paralized! But
the next moment the gentleman seized the
lady who hadnearIy swooned placed her on
the narrow walk between the two traks em-
braced her dress in his circling arms to keep
the cowcatcher from hooking it-and thus
awaited their fate The two trains passed
them at the same moment, roaring and thun-
dering on but neither the gentleman nor lady
were inIured@more than an awful fright

AThrilling TragedH.


The Evansville Qa) journal of the 18th
says:
stIt is rarely that have been called upon to
record a more terrible transaction than that
which occurred in this city on Saturday night
last A man,named Samuel Carlisle, living a.
bout three miles from EFansVille,on an excellent
farm, returning to his home on Saturday
evening about O'Clock, in anintoxicated CON
dition and with a jug of whiskey. He made
his wife arise, and man sleeping in an adj
joining room,and commenced aquarrel. Fin
ally, after ordering the young man 70 bed again
he took down his rifle and bred at his wife, the
bullet grazing her shoulder. He then struck
her several blows on the head with. the but
of the gun, smashing in her skull She died
almost instantly. The young man entered
the apartment, but fearing for bis own life,
fed to a neighbor's for assistance, On his
return, with others, Carlisle was seated on the
edge of a bed dead He had pulled of one
boot placed the muzzle of the gun to his mouth
and with his toe discharged it the bullet
breaking out several of bis teeth, and entering
his brain. Liquor was the sole cause Of this
horrible affair, as Carlisle was in good circum-
stances. owning a fine farm. and owing no
body. An inquest was held on the bodies
yesterday morning. We are indebted to DR..
Wilcox for these particulars
Howfearfu are the effects of intemperancei
How many awful crimes has it produced =
what misery has it brought into families-and
how many thousands of victims has it hurried
to premature graves!

The WorId,s Fair.

Il IS stated by the English papers that con-
siderable progress has been made in the prep
arations for submitting to public competition
the design of the great building which is to be
erected for the accommodation of ofthe-products
of all nations at the great Fair in 81. A
London paper says:
The building will be about 1900 feet long,
rather more than 400 feet across. and the
rooted area will probably extend to about 9oo,-
900 square feet, or upwards of 20 acres In
the centre of the south front, opposite Princes
Gate, will be placed the principal entrances
and Offices. There viii be three other great
entrances in the centre of the other side of the
building. Gangways, 40 feet wide, clear and
uninterrupted excepting by seats, viii connect
the entrances, and at the intersection of these
main lines it is proposed to form a grand cir
calar hall for sculpture, 200 feet in diameter.
Considerable space surrounding the old trees
viii be fitted up with refreshment rooms, sur
rounding ornamental gardens with fountains
&c.
The vast area destined to be filed with the
products of all climes, will be covered with a
remarkably simple iron roofing, of 48 feet span,
running from end to end of the building, sup
ported by hollow iron columns, resting on
brick piers, and covered very probably with
boarding and slate.
The extent of the roof covering the main
avenue viii be 96 feet The lowest line of
the main roofing will be "a feet high. and the
clear heigth of the central gangway will be
about fifty feet. The floor will, for by far the
greater portion of the area, be formed of board
ingl laid on jeists and sleeper walls. The ex-
ternal enclosures viii in all cases be construc-
tedof brick The light viii principally be
driven from skylights The central hall will
be a polygon Of f6 sides, four of which viii
open into gardens reserved around it. It's
main walls will be of brick, and about sixty
feet high The covering ofthis splendid apart
ment will be Of iron and probably eonieal. :

5 Many years ago. when the state Of Georgia

necessary arrangements having been made as
regarded wages, board, &c, Pat was duly in-

Pat performed hisduty well, and the poul-
try under his good management were keptin
the best of order. For some time, however,
Pats discerning eye perceived that an old
drake was getting more than his share Of corn;
this could not be allowed, for be was sirietlTse
charged to see if every one got enough but
no one was to get more than bis share. Now
Pat had no idea of disobeying the commands
of the farmer, so he was resolved, BY some
means or other, to put stop to it.
One evening as usual while Pat was dis
tributing corn to the fowls, he commenced 30

Here is our family treet

Whose names these records bear;
Who around the hearth-stone used to close,
After the evening prayer;
And speak of what these pages said,
In tones my heart would thrill;
Though they are with the silent dead,
Here are theyliging still!
My father read this Holy Book
To sisters, brothers dear;
How calm was my poor mothsr's look,
Who learned Gods Word to hear,
Her angel face-I see it yet!
What thrilling memories comei
Again that little group is met

Where all were false found thee true,

Here we find almost every variety of soil
and climate. Venice, with her feet in the
water. France with her robe of sunbeans
and coronal of flowers Norway with her head
tossing in the fierce and biting tempest. And
even the West Indies, rolling in FIRE and damp,
have all alike permitted longevity; in the
marshy county Of Essex, Jane Reeye lived to
an hundred and three. Hippocrates lived to
an hundred and four in the delicious Island of
Co.'S The sultry interior of Ethiopia could not
prevent Albuma Marc from reaching an hun
dred and fifty, and Drakenberg lived one hun
dred and forty-six on the shiyering mountains
of Norway. Now,With such contrasts as these
how can we philosophize on the subject -
Yet on the point of regularity we may hazard
question Is it not propable that Parr might
have lived longer if be had been temperate
man? Jenkyns if he had been unsolicited
to such 'vicissitudes? The writer who furn-
ished US with the data for the above remarks,
thus happily concludes his article:
The means known, SO far, of promoting lon
gevity, have been usually concentrated in
pithy saJings-as "Keep your head cool, and
your feet warm''-'.Work much and eat little
act, just as if the whole science of human life
could be summed up and brought out in a few
words while its great principle were kept out
of sight One Of these best sayings is the one
given by an italian in his hundred and six
teenth year, who being asked the means of
his living so long, replied with that improTisa-
ton for which, that country is SO remarkable.
t,When hungry, of the best eat,
And dry and warm keep my feeti
/ screen my heel from sun and rains
And let few cares perplex my brain.''

The following is about the best theory of the
matter: Every man is born with a stock of
vitality, which cannot be increased, but may
be husbanded. With this stock he may live
fast or slow, may live extensively or intensly,
may draw his little amount of life over large
space or narrow it into contracted one; but
when this stock is exhausted he has no more,
He who lives extensively, drinks pure water,
voids all infammatory diseases, exercises
sufficiently, but not toolaboriously, indulges no
exhausting passions, feeds on no exciting pas
sions, feeds on no exciting material pursues
no debating pleasures, avoids all laborious and
protacted study, preserve an easy mind, and
thus husbands his quantum of vitality, will
live considerably longer, than he otherwise
would do, because he lives slow; while he on
the other hand, who lives intensely, who bey-
erages himself on liquors and wines exposes
himself to infammatory diseases or causes
that produce them, labors beyond his strength,
visits exciting scenes, and INDUCES exhausting
passions,lives on stimulating and highly season
ed food, is always deliIited by his pleasures
