The OLD World AND THE NEw.-America
exists to reproach and reform the world. There
is providence in these things. The rough
and ready Republicans expand themselves over
universe-the Union has just been enlarged
by territories as large Us Europe, and already
the new State of California exports half mil
lion Of gold q month, and prepares to open a
steam communication with China and Japan.
The Pacific becomes the highway of nations,
and enterprise unheard of approach maturity
while the mind of the ancient world is absorb
ed on the miserable subjects of divine right
and sectarian controversy. The majesty of
civilization and commerce brightens regions
rich and vast, while Europe pauses to parley
with idiot Legitimists and ancient nonentities
The republic of America bids for the mastery
of the universe, and will achieve it. We could
dispute ascendency with them, but will we!
China has again snubbed us--we sought to
be polite by condoling with the new Emperor
on the death of the old one, and sent ship Of
war to give dignity to the message. The ship
could not reach Pekin for want Of water, and
profting by our miscalculation, the authorities
declined to accept our ciyility, and the attempt
to recommend ourselves failed; but perhaps we
gained a little nautical and geographical know
ledge which we wanted. The Yankees, BY
d-bye, will deal differently with the brother
ofthe sun and moon.-Liuerpool Journal. 'es-

STELLAR DAGUEREorYpE.-The modern art
of which Daguerre is the celebrated discoverer,
has been applied to very novel and interest
ing purpose recently in tie city of Boston.
The discoyerer of this ingenious art probably
never dreamed, in the widest imaginings of his
fancy, that it would ever be applied to take
the portraits Of the stars, and yet, such feat
has been accomplished. The beaming coun-
tenance of the beautiful star Lyra, was trans
ferred to daguerreotype plate, short time
since, by Mr.. Bond, Of the Cambridge Observa-
tory, aided by Mr.. Whipple, celebrated Da-
guerreotypist of Boston, at about IL o'clock at
night. This is believed to be the first success.
full attempt of the kind. The picture Of the
star is quito distinct, und about the size of a
pins head. It was obtained in about thirty
seconds, the great refracting telescope Of the
observatory being used without the eye glass.
Scientific men will probably regard this expert
ment with considerable interest, as leading to
important astronomical developments.-Da-
gueyredn Journal.

The RISE OF MEN OF Ex1NENcE-Mr
Disney, Member of Congress from Ohio
was formerly house painter; Senator Dickin-
son worked at a mechanical trade until after
he attained his majority; H. L. Turney, U. s.
Senator from Tennessee, and Andrew Johnson,
Representative from the same State, were and
are tailors, and there are now in Congress many
others who are mechanics. Gen. Houston
worked at his trade as halter until after he
was twcnty-one. Justice Mckinley, Of the U.
s. Supreme Court, was a carpenter and joiner.

Sherman, Gen. Green, Gen. Putnam, and hun

Sound SENsE.-Amid the rawlings Of faction
and abolitionism, listen to the N. Y. Express
a paper printed in the hot-bed Of reasonable
aspiration and demagogueism: }gg%
+++ - .But," the abolitionists say,
'.itis terrible thing, this slavery, and we must,
as christians, cut it up root and branch" !"
Well, if it is, we of New York have no more
to do with it than if it were in Siam, Japan,or
the Tongoo Islands. Virginia is, in all things
connected with slavery, as independent Of this
Federal Government as in Spain or France.
But if this surplus Of sentiment is among us,
there is room enough for its qualification among
the free, but social slave blacks, even of our
own city. So God-forsaken, wretched set of
human beings Us can be found about our Eve
Points, in Church street, and in the l4th ward
exists nowhere else in America. Exercise SEN
timentalty there, and then lavish the surplus
upon the South. If sentimentality does not
find field enough here, cease to eat sugar,
taste molasses, use rice, chew tobacco, smoke
cigar, or wear a cotton garment, for all is
the product of the toll of slave. Sacrifice
your appetite. You can soon extinguish sla-
very by dressing only in tow. The whole cot
ton crop will be made worthless if you can
make mankind dress in tow and flax. The
sentimentalst can thus harmlessly expend
himself in arousing mankind"

To You've MEr-Young men in the coufl-
try, who are making a comfortable living, CON-
NIT fatal error in giving up their situations
| at home to seek livelihood in large city.
| To rush to already ovcr-crowded communities
| never for moment taking into consideration,
| that there, if anywhere, there is the least pos
sible chance ofemployment-where every sltu-
alton has dozen or more applicants for tit
is folly indeed. This seems all to be lost sight
Of by young men brought up in the country, in
their fond anticipation of the delights they are
to enjoy. They, perhaps, have seen or heard
letters read from some Of their acquaintances in
the city, in which exaggerated accounts are
given of the pleasures of life as enjoyed there
Immediately, then, the youthful imagination
takes fire, and they resolve upon leaving home.
The delusion is often fatal. The rustic
leaves home, confident in his own resources,
and, after arriving in the city, first sets about
"seeing the sights" before making any effort
to get business. His curiosity being graft
fed, he wanders from street to street, vanly
seeking employment, where all the avenues
thereto are oxeraown. 1t is then, and only
then, he begins to realise the falsity of his
hopes and the vanity Of his imagined splendor
Want and misfortune, perhaps, asertake him,
and, if unable to bear the fierce torture, or too
proud to reveal it in plain, manly terms, or cs-
cape it by returning to his family and friends,
the chances are that he becomes begga or
criminal.
If young men having comfortable homes,
could only be made to realise that the city
presents to the stranger, in search Of employ
ment, barren, miserable desert, parched up by
heat and jostle, crushing hope and ambition,
they would pause long and earnestly before
they laft their country homes.
