An American Grace Darling.

A young, intelligent and interesting
woman, residing within sixty miles of
New York, has, with the assistance of an
aged and infrm father, saved twenty -one
lives within the last fifteen years. Kate
Moore is the daughter of Captain Moore,
who keeps the lighthouse on Fairweather
Island, situated midway between the har-
bors of Black Rock and Bridgeport, CT
The Island contains five acres of land, and
is about half mile from the shore. MANY
disasters, it is known, have occurred to
vessels driven round Montauk Point in a
storm, and sometimes in the Sound to
homeward bound, and this lady's ear is so
accurate, it is said, she can distinguish the
shrieks Of the drowning mariner, and di-
rect her barque in the darkest night. She
can trim boat, and manage as well as any
man, and seems to make up in tact what
she lacks in strength, and never refuses to
turn out in the darkest night to the relief
Of the sufferers. Our informant adds that
she is highly accomplished and literary
lady, and perfectly feminine in her man
ners, and that, although she occasionally
visits New York and other places in that
vicinity, and has large and most respec-
table acquaintance, many of whom know
of these facts, they have never come to the
knowledge of the public before. The late
lamented Major Noah, who was remarka-
BILE for collecting the most interesting
facts, by some means became acquainted
with them. We also understand that
Captain Moore and his worthy helpmate
have resided upon the island over twenty
years, and brought up family of five
upon salary of three hundred
dollars year, all of whom have an excel
lent education, and that they entertain a
great many persons who visit the island,
with true old-fashioned hospitality.-N

A Word to Apprentices.

Stick to your trade, boys, and learn how
to work, if you wish to be truly independ

half-learned mechanic applying for work
He is always at the foot of the hill, and
labor as he may, unless he has become
perfect in his trade before he attains the
years of his majority, he never will be
perfect, and can calculate on poverty as
his portion with good deal safety.
We have in our minds eye, a lad Of
eighteen, who few months ago was at
work in this office at fair wages; but his
parents encouraged him in the idea that
he was man, and should have man's S
pay.
He left US with feeling that he could
get rich faster in Boston, and since that
we have learned of his having been enga-
ged for short time in three different Off
ces in three several cities.
Of course, with his slight knowledge of
business, he could not have permanent en-
ployment, and so he has taken up new
trade. He joined company of corps dra-
naaHque, and the last notice we had of his
whereabouts was from a handbill announ-
cling his appearance before the citizens of

COMPOSITION Of C0l0rs.
Mr.. Gliddon, in one of his late lect

! MIR. Gliddon, IN one OF MS late lectures
at Boston, gave the annexed information
respecting the composition of colors used
by the ancient Egyptians, in their earliest
and latest pictorial scenes-which, after
lapse of four thousand years, stand unri'
vailed in brilliancy and beauty:
"To begin with white. This is so per
feet that, after the lapse Of four thousand
years, its lustre is inimitable. 1t was
formed of pure chalk, by pounding the va
rious species of fossil crabs, &c, that
abound in Egyptian limestone quarries.
Yellow, was yellow iron ocre-found Of all
possible shades in the strata Of Egypt and
Nubia Oxides of iron in their natural
state; sometimes burned, vary the color.
Red was red earthly bolc, in the natural
-tritoxides of iron, in which is classed
the colcotar or "yiolet of vitriol" Blue,
comprising the costly "ultra marine,' is
sometimes an oxide of copper, frequently
an oxide of iron; and many Egyptian
blues give oxide of cobalt, under analysis.
These artificial formations imply extreme
chemical skill. Green was compoun6e of
artificial metallic blues and natural yellow
ocres and as the blue itself was formed
by vitrifying oxides of iron, copper, or
cobalt, with sand and soda, in crucbles
or in balls, subjected to the heat of the
furnace ; and, as blues and greens abound
in the paintings even of the pyramidal era,
Cor long before Abraham) this not only
explains why the Egyptians were well ac-
quainted with glass in those days, but that
they knew how to color it, as is proved by
relics of all kinds of colored glass itself,
abounding in Museums, and by glass vases
drawn on the monuments, of exquisite
colors, produced by arts now lost. Black
is sometimes pure bone black sometimes
it is black earth (oxide of from found in
Nilotic mines.
These colors, in every shade, reduced to
an imlalpable powder by grinding, mixed
with Gumarabic, and diluted with water,
were those used by the Egyptians, and
were applied on the subject to be painted,
after the wall had been coated with layer
of stucco prepared from Gypsum, and tho
colors were laid on in ordinary fresco
The mummy cases have established that
the ancient Egytians also understood en-
caustic painting, with wax dissolved in
naphtha.''

Pacific Rail- Road.

The New Haven Palladium, publishes a
letter from Forest Shepherd, Esq, written
at Sacramento City, and chiefly descriptive
of California. He says that "it is now
ascertained, almost beyond doubt, that a
railroad Uen be constructed from the Nice
issippi to the Pacific, without crossing any
mountains, or without meeting any more
impediment from snow than would a road
from Albany to Boston" He gives the
following sketch of the route: "This route
is from the head or southern portion of
Tulare valley, through Walkers pass,
thence to the Mojaree river, thence north
eastward to high grounds on the tributaries
Of the Rio Colorado, thence crossing said
river above the great Carton, thence east
to Pilot Mountain, near Santa Fe, passing
Pilot Mountain on the north side, thence
to Santa Fe and the Mississippi, at Apple
Creek, below St. Louis, where there is
good landing and open navigation to New
Orleans through the winter, and of course
a road on the bank of the Mississippi to st.
Louis This route will be six or eight
hundred miles nearer than any other, has
wood and water nearly the whole distance,
and abundance of stone and coal at Santa
Fe. The above route will accommodate
both north and south, New Mexico and
California-and ocean steamers will soon
render trip from San Francisco to Asto-
ria as light matter as at present from
Buffalo to Chicago or Mackinaw. The
route further north is very Objectionable
on account of the snow on the table lands
on the head waters of Feather river.
have Travelled over snow apparently un-
drifted, varying from twelve to twenty
feet in depth, in the month of june"

Doing Nothing bV Halves.

1t is said that the celebrated John Blair
Smith, President of Hampden Sidney Col
lege, and afterwards of Union College, that
che drew crowds after him, for it was one
of his peculiar properties to put out his
strength in everything that he undertook,
and to do nothing by halves"
We have here brought to veiw, the great
law of intellectual progress. 1t is, that the
full strength of the mind should be thrown
into every effort-that everything under
ken should be done to the best of ones
ability.
1t is a common proverb, that what is
worth doing at all is worth doing we'll
The proverb does not state the whole truth
Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth
doing as we'll as possible. finer would
act steadily upon this principle, there would
he a great increase of mental power. We
should have better thinkers, better books,
better sermons, and better laws.
The same law applies to spiritual pro-
press. Scarce any progress can be made
unless there be the putting forth Of the
full strength of the subject. Few regard
the law, and hence the path Of few like the
morning light which shineth more and
more unto the perfect day. The Bible re,
ouires us to seek first the kingdom OF God
to make all pursuits secondaey 70 ,na'
