THE FIRST,

THE FIRST.
FRANCIS BROWNE.
The first, the first oh ! nought like it
Our after years can bring,
For summer has no flowers so sweet,
AS those of early spring.
The earliest storm that strips the tree
Still widest seems and worst,
Whate'er hath been again may be,
But never as at first.
For many bitter blast may blow
Ger life's uncertain wave,
And many a thorny thicket grow
Between us and the grave;
But darker still the spot appears,
Where thunder clouds have burst
Upon our green unblighted years
No grief is like the first!
Our first born joy-perchance twas vain,
Yet that brief lightning DER,
The heart, indeed, may hope again,
Dut call TtJoICc llO Iuoie.
Life hath no glory to bestow-
Unfallen and uncursed
There may be many an after glow,
But nothing like the first.
The rays of Hope may light us on
Through manhoods toll and strife,
But never can they shine as shone
The morning star of life
Though bright as summers rosy wreath,
Though long and fondly nursed,
Yet still they want the fearless faith
Of those that blessed US first.
It's first love deep in memory
The heart forever bears,
For that was early given and free
Life's wheat without the tares.
1t may be Death hath buried deep,
1t may be fate hath cursed;
But yet no later love can keep
The greenness of the first.
And thus, whate'er our onward way
The lights or shadows cast
Upon the dawning of our day
Are with US to the last,
But alb ! the morning breaks no more
On US as once it burst,
For future springs can nc'cr restore
The freShnecs of tho fret

HoPE.-You will scarcely find man, in
all the ranges of our creation, whose bosom
bounds not at the mention of Hope. What
is hope but the solace of those whom j,
most cheats and deludes-whisperin of
health to the sick man, and Of better days
to The dejecled-lhe fairy name on whio h
young imag ginalions pour forth all the poe
try of their souls, and whose sy tables float
like aerial mnsic into the ear of frozen and
paralyzed old age: In the long catalogue
of human grieis, there is scarce one Of SO
crushing pressure, that hope loses its elac-
ITCHY, becoming unable TO soar and bring
down fresh and fair leaves from some far
off domain, which itself creates. And ye,
whilst hope is the great !nclter to exeriion,
and the great soolher Of wretchedness, " ho
knows not that it ordinarily deceives man
kind, and that, though it crowd the future
with glorious resting place, and thus tempt
us to bear up awhile against accumulated
disasters, its palaces and gardens vanish as
we approach, and we are kept from despair
only because the pinnacles and forests of
another bright scene fringe the horizon, and
the deceiver finds rs willing to be yet again
deceived. Hope is beautiful meteor but
nevertheless this meteor, like the rainbow.
is no. only lovely because Of its seven rich
and radiant strips; it is the memorial of cove
nant between man and his Maker, telling
us ,ha, we are born for immortality, destin-
ed-we sepuIchre our greatness-to the
highest honor and nobesl happiness. Hope
proves man deathless 1t is the struggle oi

able, and al'esling her eternity. II

How DOES A FLY 3Uz? is a question
more easily asked than answered. "With
its wings, TO be sure,'' hastily replies one
Of our readers. "With lis wings as they vi
brate upon the air." responds another, with
a smile. half of contempt, half Of complacen-
cy OF his own or more than common mea-
surement of natural philosophy. But how,
then, lei us ask. can The great draggon-hy, and
other similar ad-pInloned.r rapid flying in
sects cut through the air with silent swftness,
while Others 90 on huzzing when not upon
the wings at all : Rennie. who has already
put this posing query, himself ascribes the
sound partially to air, but to air as it plays
on the edges Of their wings at their origin
as with all Eolian harp string, or to the
friction of some internal organ at the root
of the nerves. Lastly, bow does The fly feed !?
The busy, curious, thirsty fly ,ha, "drinks

instrument for ealing or drinking being his
trunk or suck; the narrow pipe, by means
of which, when lie, down upon his dan.ies,
he is enabled to Imbibe as much as suits
his capacity. This trunk might seem an
instrument convenient enough when insert
ed into a saucer Of syrup, or applied To the
broken surface of an over-ripe blackberry,
but we often see our slipper Of swee. quite
as busy on solid lump of sugar, which we
shall find, on close inspection, growing

AGRIcULruRE.-The application of sci
ence to agriculture is attracting the attention
Of the public, and exciting the interest of
those who are engaged in the cultivation Of
the earth. A better knowledge Of the quail
ties of the soil, and of the nature and pro-
perlles Of the substances TO enrich it. than
has heretofore been generally possessed,
would greatly increase its productions -
This knowledge may be derived from sci
ence. Chemistry holds this treasure in its
hands. Schools and lectures, publications $
and practical experiments, are the ins,ru
men!s through which it is TO be attained.
Whatever can be done to promote this de-
slrable object, by legislative aid, is due to
this most ancient and useful of all pursuits,
and that large and respectable portion Of
The community who are engaged in it,
Content with the bounlies received from

We can give our readers new anecdote
Of Jenny Lind. The fair Swede is not We
ry popular behind the scenes-miking no
secre. of thinking her maiden purity some
what profaned by the necessary contact
with the ''sliding scale" of Stage morals
Among those who have sung in Operas
with her, however, was certain Signorina
Solari, whose modesly and propriely had
won upon her regard. This lady, in vio-
lent effort a! some concert, broke blood
vessel, and was ordered by her physician
Immediately to the South Of France, as the
only chance for life. Having no reliance
but her voice for livelihood, she was in
the greatest despair, when in the midst of
her hurried preparations for departure, the
carriage of Jenny Lind stopped a, her door.

child" she said, "Y ou told me nothing Of

without my seeing you. You will want

of a hundred pounds each) and remember,
wherever you are, tina. friends have bul one

sweet record ofangel minis,ralion was never

there are many more like it untold of the

To Mechanics, Inventors and Manufacturer

THE publishers of the SCIENTIFIC
AMERICAN respectfully give notice that
the With Volume Of this valuable journal
will be commenced on the 2lst of Septen-
Der, offering favorable opportunity for all
10 subsci ibe who take an interest in the pro-
gress and development Of the Mechanics,
Arts, and Manufactures of our county,
The character of the Scientific American is
too well known throughout the country TO
require detailed account Of the various Sub
jects discussed through It's columns.
The aim of the publishers has always been
TO render il the most thorough and useful
scientific journal in the country; and to
Judge Of this by comparing It's circulation
and influence with other publications Of the
same class, they have the unequivocal evil
dence of its value as the leading exponent Of
the Arts and Sciences.
II will be published weekly rs heretofore,
in quarto form on fine paper, affording at the
end Of the year an Illustrated Encyclopedia
Of over four hundred pages, with an index,
and from five hundred TO six hundred origi-
nal engravings described by letters of refer
ence, beside a vast amount of practical infor-
nation concerning the progress Of Scientific
and Mechanical improvements, Chemistry,
Civil Engineering, Manufacturing in its vari-
Gus branches, Architecture, Masonry, Botany
in short il embraces the entire range Of
the Arts and Sciences. ...... .
II also possesses an original feature not
found in any other weekly journal in the
country, viz: an Official list of Patent Claims,
prepared expressly for its columns ut the Pa
tent Office, thus constituting il the "Ameri-
can Repertory Of Inventions"
In connection with the publishing depart

and give YOU the help of our rapidly swell.
ing numbers The land of our ensIayed
brethren is onr land, and death alone shall
part us.
We carnot forget you, brethren, for we
know your sufferings and we know YOUR
sufferings, because we know from experience
what it u to be an American slave. So gall
ing was our bondage, that to escape from IL,
we suffered the loss Of all things, and braved
every peril, and endured every hardship
Some Of us left parents, some wives some
children. Some of US were wounded with
guns and dogs, as we fled. Some of ms, to
make good our escape, suffered ourselves to
be nailed up in boxes, and to pass for mer-
chandize Some of us secreted ourselves in
the suffocating holds of ships. Nothing was
so dreadful to us as slavery and hence, il is
almost literally true, that we dreaded moth
ing, which could befal us, in our attempt TO
get clear of il. Our condition could be made
no worse, for we were already in the lowest
depths Of earthly woe. Even should we be
overtaken, and subjected TO slavery, this
would be but 10 return 10 our old suferings
and sorrows; and should death itself prove to
be the price of our endeavor after freedom,
what would that be but welcome release TO
men, who had all their lifetime, been killed
every day, and killed all the day long"
We have referred 10 our perils and hard
ships in escaping from slavery. We are hap
by TO be able TO say, TINT every year is null
tiplying the facilities for leaving the South
ern prison house. The Liberty Party, the
| Vigilance Committee of New York, indivi-
duals, and companies of individuals in va
rious parts of the country, are doing all they
can, and il is much to afford you a safe, and
a cheap passage from slavery TO liberty.-
They do this, however, not only at great ex-
pense of property, but at great peril of iber-
ty and life. Thousands Of you bave heard
ere this, that within the last !ortnight,the pre-.
cious name of William l.. Chaplin has been
added to the list of those who, in helpinp
you gain your liberty, have lost their own
Here is man, whose wisdom, cultivation
moral worth, bring him into the highest and
best class Of men: sand yet, he becomes q
willing martyr for the poor, despised, forgot
ten slaves sake. Your remembrance of one
such fact is enough TO shed light and hope
upon your darkest aud most desponding mo.
ments.
Brethren, our last word to you is TO bid
you be of good cheer, and not to despair OF
your deliverance. Do not abandon your
selves, as have many thousands of American
slaves, TO the crime Of suicide. Live live tc
escape from slavery! live to serve God live
till lie shall Himself call you into eternity
BE prayorful-be brave-be hopeful. "Lif
up your heads, for your redemption drawetl
nigh"

Western Anii-Slayery Fair.

In the prosecution Of every reform, il has
been found necessary to employ subordinate
means for the accomplishment of the desired
endi and amongst these, none have proved
moro efficient than well-conducted Pairs. The
pecuniary results arc but small part Of the
advantages arising thcrefrom, though they arc
often by no means unimportant, Various mo-
tivcs bring together multitudes to attend them,
of those opposed to the objects in view, as well
as friends to the cause; and thus rare opportu-
mites arc afforded for full, free social discus
sion of the desired reform, as well as for pub
lie addresses in its behalf
With these facts in view, we the undersigned
women of Ohio have concluded to hold an
Annual Fair in the town of Salem to promote
the cause of Anti-Slavery. Every thing in
the political world seems to point out the me-
ccssity for renewed and untiring cxertion in
this most holy cause. The distinctions of Whig
and Democrat are forgotten in the all-absorb-
ing struggle for the extension of Slavery, and
to all appearances the South will obtain every
tling she asks. We believe large part of the
People of the North are in favor of Freedom,
and that many members of the present Con-
gross were elected with the expectation that
they would firmly oppose any extension OF the
curse Of Slavery; but some have proved to be
voluntary rccreants to their trust, and some
have been frightened into submission to the
Slave-Power. Lot us then dedicate ourselves
anew to the Cause of the Slave. Let US keep
up agitation until the people shall as one man
rise up and demand Universal Emancipation
or Exemption from participation in the sin of
holding our fcllow-beings in bondage. Many
of us can do but little. Yet let us not hold
back on that account. Some of us are mothers,
and though few of us can 60 forth and speak
publicly in behalf of the stricken bondman,
we may yet, by contributing our pittance in this
way, by mingling with our neighbours, and
pleading as our maternal feelings shall dictate
for the stricken mother in the South, and in
stilling into the minds of those committed to
our care an undying abhorrence of Injustice and
Wrong, like the drops of rain, which, singly
are unnoticed and insignificant, by uniting,
change and invigorate the aspect of the whole
world.
We propose holding Fair, commencing the
Slst of December, and continuing through the
following day; and we would earnestly invite
all persons, without respect to party or creed,
to lend their aid by sending such contributions as
they can mako or procure. The funds arising
therefrom to be devoted to the dissemination OF
Anti Slavery Truth, through the agency of
the Western Anti-Slavery Society.
