POSITION OF FREE-SOILERS.
From he Ashtabnla Smtulql.


The National Era contains letter from Mr.
Lewis, the distinguished friend of liberty in Gin
cinnati and an able editorial, by Dr. Bailey, on
this subject With these articles we substantially
agree On some minor points, We entertain doubts.
The plan OF adopting free trade as one Of the
articles of political faith, is Of questionable
policy We have long thought 1t the only plan
which will drive the South to emancipation. Let
them pay, in direct taxes the money necessary
for the support Of the Federal Government, in
proportion TO their slaves, as they would he con-
strained to do were that policy adopted, and they
would soon commence the work Of emancipation.
Another consideration should not be- omitted.
The profigacy Of the Government has become
absolutely insufferable Suppose our revenues
were derived from direct taxation, the people
would know the amount which they pay, and they
would watch its expenditure and would hold
their public servants accountable for its judicious
outlay
Had each taxpayer Of the United States paid
his proportion Of the ten millions extorted from
the people by the Texas swindle that outrage
would never have been proposed Nor would
Webster, or Fillmore, dared to Justify such rob.
berry Of the North, to buy our peace with Texas.
Or suppose the revenues had been collected di-
rectly from the people, the Mexican war, with Its

COMPOSITION OF COLORS.

Mr.. Gliddon, in one of his late lectures at
Boston, gave the annexed information respect
ing the composition of the colors used by the
ancient Egyptians, in their earliest and latest
pictorial scenes-coors which, after a lapse OF
four thousand years, stand unrivalled in bril-
liancy and beauty:
To begin with white. This is so perfect
that, after the lapse of four thousand wears, its
lustre is inimitable. II was formed of pure
chalk, by pounding the various species of fossil
crabs, Sc, that abound in Egyptian limestone
quarres. YeLLotc was yellow iron Ochre-iound
Of all possible shades in the strata of Egypt and
Nuba Oxides of iron in their natural state ;
was red earthly bole, in its natural sta,e-trtox-
ides of iron, in which is casSed the colcotar or
" violet of vitriol." Blue, comprising the cost
" ultra MARINE" is sometimes an oxide of
copper, frequently an oxide Of iron; and many
Egyption blues give oxide of cobalt, under anal
ysis. These artificial formations imply ex-
IRENE chemical skill. Green was compounded
of artificial metallic blues and natural yellow
ochres and, as the blue itself was formed by
vitrilying oxides of iron, copper, or cobalt, with
sand and soda. in crucibles or in balls, subjected
TO the heat Of the surfaces and, as blues and
greens abound in the paintings even OF the pyr-
amidal era, Tor long before Abraham, } this not
only explains why the Egyptians were well
acquainted with glass in those days, but that
they knew how to color il, as is proved by rel
les of all kinds Of coored glass itself, Astounding
in Museums, and by glass rases drawn on the
monuments of exquisite colors, produced by
arts now lost. Black is sometimes pure bone
black; sometimes il is black earth (oxde of
iron) found in Nilotic mines.
These colors, in every shade, reduced TO an
impalpable powder by grinding, mixed with
Gum arabic, 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 sfueeo prepared
from Gypsum. and the colors were laid on in

A SoFA MADE OF CoAL-The Fife advertiser,
referring to one peculiar characteristic of the
coal found in that district, which can be con-
verted into articles of household furniture, such
as looking glass frames, writing desks, chairs,
and tables, states that Mr.. William Williamson
is at present engaged in making a sofa wholly
composed of coal. 1t is nine feet long, with
three compartments or divisions, and is suili-
cient to contain seven people sitting on it. The
front standards are beautifully carved, display
ing three mongrel animals, which forcibly re
mind the spectators of those richly carved fig
ures that appear so frequently in DR.. Layard's
remains Of ancient Babylon. This rare geolo-
gical curiosity was ordered by General Wemyss,
and it is highly probable that it will appear at
the Great Exhibition, as it was ordered to be
finished previous to that time; and, as the Gen
eral holds an appointment in the Queens
household, it may yet be transferred from the
Crystal Palace to the palace Of Her Majesty

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-When Sir Isaac New
ton changed his residence. and went to live in
Leicester Place, his next-door neighbor was a
widow lady, who was much puzzled by the
little she observed of the habits of the philoSo-
pher.
One of the Fellows Of the Royal Society of
London called upon her one day, when, among
other domestic news, she mentioned that some
one had come to reside in the adjoining house,
who, she felt certain was poor mad gentle
man, because" she continued, +" he diverts
himself in the oldest ways imaginable Every
morning when the sun shines so brightly that
we are obliged to draw the window blinds, he
takes his seat in front of tub of soap suds, and
occupies himself for hours blowing soap bub-
bles through a common clay pipe, which he
intently watches floating about until they burst,
He is doubtless" she added, snow at his
favorite amusement; do come and look at him. I"
The gentleman smiled, and then went up
stairs when, after looking through the stair case
window into the adjoining courtyard, he turned
around and said:
"My dear madam, the person whom you
suppose to be poor lunatic is no other than
the great Sir Isaac Newton, studying the
refraction of light, phenomenon which is
beautifully exhibited upon the surface of a COM
mon soap bubble

THE TWO GIVERS.

A collection for foreign missions was being
made at a church door. Up walked the richest
man in the congregation, and LAID tye-pound
note on the plate. The people admired the gift,
and praised the gyer, but 1t gave no thrill oil JOY
in heaven. Directly after him there came a lit
tie, pale, poor girl, meanly clad, and poverty
written out in all her looks, yet with counte-
nance full of sweetness, and tear trembling IN
her eye, and laid beside the rich mans note a
single penny. The crowd pushed her rudely
by. No one noticed or cared for her gift. But
Jesus and his angels, who were looking on, ac-
cepted it., as far more precious than the rich
mans note, and made a record OF 1t TO her
honor.
You will ask, How came this dlflerence2
That same morning the rich man had SAID
within himself, " What shall give to the col
lection today, for foreign missions? | must
give five-pound note, for that IS what will be
expected of me; and wish my donation to be
above all the Others"
That same morning the little girl had been
reading her Bible, and had seen the story Of the
love of Jesus, and loved him in return. She
thought within herself, elf Jesus did so much
for me, Oh! what can do to show my love to
him2 There is to be a collection for foreign
missions this day, and have only penny (;
but will give my penny for Jesus sake, and
it may be he will accept it from me, for | love
him very much"
The little girl took her penny and laid it on
the chair before which she was kneeling, and
prayed thus for blessing:
"Oh, my God here is penny which will
give to thee. Take it, Lord, although am not
worthy to give it, and bless it, so that it will do
good to the poor heather" Then rising from
her knees, she took it to the church, and gave
it as we said
Reader, bear in mind, it is not achat we give,
but ho,o we give, that makes the service accepta-
BILE. The poor widows mite was declared more
precious than the great mans gold, by Christ !;
and your single penny will be held Of greater
value, and perhaps do more good, than many
pounds wrongly presented, if only given in the
exercise of faith and love.
