A Tale that is True.

A short time since was invited by a
friend to accompany him TO - Hospi-

that wished to look upon the suffering
man; but rather that might have an
opportunity of seeing how operations
were conducted in those dwellings of the
afflicted. seated myself by the side of
my friend, while my eye wandered about
the room, resting on knives, saws, and
other instruments which lay on the table
before me, painting to my Imagination
the scenes of anguish which those walls
had witnessed, and exciting in my heart,
pity for these poor sufferers who were
from day to day extended on that sheet
ed table. As | was meditating on the
g many ills which flesh is heir TO-, the
door opened, and upon board was
brought in man exhausted with disease
and worn out with pain. He was laid
upon the table, and the instruments of
amputation readily prepared. The blood
less face and the trembling form told us
that the sufferer was conscious of his
situation, and dreaded the pain he was
about to endure.
Perhaps, thought l, as looked upon
the mortified and deadened limb, per-
haps that man is father who has wife
and children TO mourn over his misior-
tunes, and friends to minister 70 his
wants, but none are here, he is to bear
his pains alone. The saw soon followed
the knife, and soon the limb was taken
of.
As the surgeon was taking up the ar

POETRY.
A LOVE SONG.

She who sleep pom my hand,
Was the first TO visit II;
She who sleeps upon my breast,
Ever reigns within it;
She who kisses oft my lips,
Wakes my warmest blessing;
She who rests within my arms,
Feels their closest pressing.
Other days than these shall ZONE,
Days that may be dreary;
Other hours shall greet US yet,
Hours that may be weary;
Still that heart shall be thy home,
Still that breast thy pillow;
Still those lips meet thine as oft
As billow meeteth billow.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart,
Since thy love hath won il;
Dream, then, on mysloyal breast
None but thee hath done IL;
And when age our bloom shall change,
With its wintry weather;
May we in the self-same grave
Sleep and dream together.

REVOLUTION IN TANNING.--Among
various remarkable inventions exhibited
at the recent Ohio state agricultural
fair in Cincinnati, was new process OF
tanning leather, which is thus described
in the Statesman:
Mr.. Ansel Frost, of Rochester, New
York created more sensation in the minds
of all true lovers of science and improv-
ments, than any other person on the
ground, by exhibiting specimens of tan
ned leather, in whole sides, and made in
to boots, shoes, gloves, &c., which were
tanned in the almost incredibly short
period of ten minutes, by process dis
covered by his fellow townsman, Mr..
Harmon Hubbard. by this mode of tan
ming, composition is prepared that acts
directly and rapidly upon the grease,
&c., in the skin, opening its pores, and
preparing it at once for the tanning,
which, being a part Of the constituent
property of the composition, passes in
stantly into the skin, and there unites
with the gelatine at once, all of which
is done as if by magic ; making stronger,
softer, and more valuable leather than
can be produced by the old methods, and
at much less cost. Hides or skins of all
kinds may be tanned with the hair, wool
or fur on, with equal facility. Sheep
skins, by this process, it is said, will
compete successfully with calf skins tan
ned by the usual method. 1t certainly
does appear, by the evidence furnished,
that this new discovery is destined to
work an entire revolution in the bust
ness of the manufacture of leather.
