How TO LIGHT ALL THE Gas LAMPS IN A
Town AT ONcE.-The Paris correspondent of the
London Times says that rapid and scientific
mode, of lighting and extinguishing public gas
burners has been invented by person named Nj
latte. The opening of the burner Of each lamp is
covered with piece of soft iron, mounted upon
a hinge. In connection with this is wire extend
ing from galvanic battery the entire length Of
the surface Of the gas lamps, and close to the orr

The Pleasures and Advantages Of Labor

There IS very false notion In the world re-
specting employment. Thousands imagine
that If they could live in idleness they would
be perfectly happy. This is a great mistake.
Every industrious man and woman knows that
nothing is so tiresome as being unemployed.
During some seasons of the yearswe have holi-
days, and it is pleasing on these occasions, to
see the operative enjoy himself; but we have
generally found that, after two or three days
of recreation, the diligent mechanic or labo-
rer becomes quite unhappy Often. he sighs
over the wretchedness of being idle. The
fact is, we were made to labor, and our health.
comfort aud happiness depend upon exertion.
Whether we look to our bodies or examine
our minds, every thing tells us that our Crea-
tor intended that we should be active, Hands,
feet, eyes and mental powers, show that we
were born to be busy. If we had been made
to be idle, very large portion of our bodily
and mental faculties would be redundant
Sir Charles Bell has exhibited the wonderful
structure of the human hand other physi-
ologists have entered into minute descrip-
ton ofour bodies generally, and have display
ed their wonderful adoption for the business
of, life Metaphysicians, also have dictated on
the mind and its operations and have brought
forth to view its marvellous powers demon
strating that man was intended to be lord of
this lower creation. But then all depends up-
on labor. There are the same mind and body
in the savage that haunts the wilderness
the gourmand that merely eats, ,and. drinks,
and sleeps-the lady that lounges on a sofa,
and boasts that she never done any thing, nor
even vets her fngers-and the myriads Of ac-
tive hands and hearts that change the desert
into paradise, and furnish it with all the
comforts, enjoyments, and Injuries of life
Industry and toll make all the difference be-
tween the useless and the useful. Did the |
world consist Of ladies, we should be starved
tamished and poisoned; or, did it contain
none but gentlemen unfit for manual labor,
We must all perish for want of the common ne
cessaries of life. A world of kings, lords,
Alexanders, Caesars Caligulas or Jezebels, |
would soon have the globe without an inhabi-
tant Exertion, activity, study and tod, all I
properly directed to some useful end, are the
great requisites of every age and country
Give US these, and we can soon have a happy,
a prosperous, an enlightened and a refined
era.

-Four Petri6ed horses and their riders are
said to have been discovered at the bottom Of
Grow Wing river, one hundred and twenty
eight miles above St Paul, Minnesota. The St
Paul Pioneer, which seems to be slightly scep-
teal on the subject, offers to pay fifty dollars
for each sound petrified horse,nlare or geldips,
and the same for each perfect petrifed man
or woman which may hereafter be found, and
half price for ponies and children. A St
Louis Barnurn, who is about to establish a
nnusuem in that city, writes to the editor Of
the Pioneer, for particulars in relation TO the
stone cavalry, and offers to pay literally for
these hard customers if they can be delivered

Interesting Incident.

We fnl the following interesting local Incl
dent in the New York correspondence of the
"Phadcphia Enquirer" and gladly give it
the benefit of our circulation -
Some fourteen years ago, Mr. c., Young
merchant of this city, who was possessed of a
hanlso fortune, entered very largely into
spccuations III real estate, and became, as was
generally supposed, immensely wealthy. A
great rcvulson in the business of the country
happened, and Mr.. c, suddenly became a
bankrupt Mrs. c upon the happening of this
untoward event. Immediately retired from the
fashionable aren't, and reduced her personal
and family expenditures to suit the alteration in
her pecuniary circumstances.
AT the time of the failure of Mr. c., in bust
ness, it happened that Mrs c., was indebted to
Messrs. a. II. Steward e. Co., for goods furn-
ishcd her for her personal use to the amount of
about two. hundred dollars. This debt she was
for the time entirely unable to pay. but the
moral obligation to discharge it was not forgot
ten. Years rolled on, Mr.. G. remained inso
vent, the debt became barred by the statute Of
limitations, the legal liability to pay it was cx
tnguishcd twelve years elapsed, and the cred %
itors considered the amount as lost.
The circumstances of Mr. & however, have
for several years past been gradually improv-
ing, and few days ago, his wife, finding her
self once more able to procure the means, care
fully calculated the interest on her de bt of ~
years standing, added that to the principal, and
enclosed the whole in note addressed to
5 cward & Go.
Mcssrs. Stewart &, Co upon the receipt of
the money, addressed "A note i'll reply to Mrs c.
i'll which they requested her acceptance of the
accompanying gift, as a slight testimonial of
their high appreciation of an act 50 honorable
and so rare as to cali forth unqualified admira-
ton. Accompanying the letter was sent SUI
perb brocaee silk dress, ana some laces of eX
Qulsite texture and great value.
