Gas--HoW Made.

Illuminating or coal gas is manufactured
by placing small quantity Of coal into
a strong retort, somewhat resembling small
cylindrical steam boiler. This retort is pla-
ced over fire and hcated to = very low tenn
perature, when the coal is changed into two
kinds of gas, substance called tar, aud an
ammonical liquor. A pipe from the retors
conveys these mixtures into the bottom of
tank Of wateI, and the gassss being lighter,
rise to the surface, but the tar and ammoni-
cal liquor are condensed and remain in the
tank. The gas, after cooling, lie again pu-
rifed by passing through lime water. whea
it is reHdy for distribution.

would pay the widow Broom for her last two
days washing; she would pay "Coke-upon
Littleton his fee for counsel in the case of

the mending Of his boots; Peter could then
!go and pay Tim Haystack the dollar he owes
him on The hay he bought of him last week;
and Tim is such good honsst soul that We
knew he would come right in and pay ms the
dollar he owes us on subssription-and then
we could buy chicken, q dozen Of eggs,G
hali-bushel ofcorn meal to make ''dodger"
and we, ourself, individually, and our 'lod-
din wee things" would "boAst one splendid
bsnquet once a year. and we would have
a dime in our pocket, ''bsby in the cradle,
and little wife to rock it"
i But because Jerry Diatory, is rot honest
enough to pay-noL one of these debts can
be paid, ana we cannot have the feast Of "fat
things" at all. All, Jerry Dilatoryl You
are The cause OF all this trouble. You pre-

The period of which we write was one
that will ever be memorable in the annals OF
our country. Never had the fortunes of the
patriots been at so low an ebb in the south,
as between the defeat of Gates at Camden,
and the inroad of CORVALLIS into North
Carolina. After the fall Of Charleston no
time had been lost in overrunning the colo
ny. All organized resistance being at an
end, proclamation was published, inviting
the citizens to return to his majesty's gov
enmeut, and stipulating for little more on
their part than neutrality. Large numbers,
even Of the Wings, accepted these terms;
and had Cornwalhs adhered to his promises,
then indeed might liberty have been dis
paired of. But the royal leader soon threw
off the mask, and required all who had ac-
cepted the protection, as it was called, to de-
clare themselves openly on the royal side,
and in the further prosecution. of the war
Finding themselves thus basely deceived,
many neM to arms; but such, wherever cap
turcd, were executed as rebels. The fate of
Col. Hayne, who was put deathat Charles
ton under these circumstances; was but a
type of that Of hundreds Of lesser note, who
pershcd often without trial.
The war meanwhile was carried on with
savage fcrocity. Plantat ons were laid waste,
negroes carried of-houses given to the
flames. The seven yials of wrath were
poured out on South Carolina. Instances
of cruelty without number are left on record.
One may suffice. .5...s
n An innocent Quaker who took care Of a
sentry's musket for few minutes while the
soldier went on an errand, was seized for
this pretended crime and thrown into prison.
His wife hurried TO the Jail to see him. She
was told to wait few minutes and she
would be conducted to him. With this bru-
tai jest on their lips, the royal myrmidons
hurried to the man 5 cell, dragged him forth
and hung him at one Of the jail windows;
then, returning to his wife, they led her IN
to the yard, and showed her husband to her

he had been reused us .taa. t..
Howard Preston, the hero of our story,
had just returned from Europe, where he
had been fulfilling the injunctions of his IA
theirs will, by q course of study and travel,
until his twenty fourth year. The first great
sorrow of his life had been his parting, at
sixteen, with the only child Of his guardian,
Kate Mowbray, when a lovely little girl, who
for years had been lis pet and playmate.
Many were the tears she shed at the separa-
tion, and faithfully did she promise not to
forget her boy-lover. ..
Such childish preferences usually end with
youth; but it was not so in the present in
stance. With every letter from abroad came
a gift for Kate, which she requited by some
tribe worked by her own, hands. But as
years elapsed, and Kate approached woman
hood, these presents were no longer returned,
and Preston, piqued at what he thought ne
glect, began gradually to confne himself, in
his letters home, to cold inquiry after her
health, instead of devoting, as heretofore,
two-thrds of the epistle to her. Yet he new
er thought Of America without also thinking
of Kate: and when he landed at Charleston,
month before our tale begins, he was won
dering into what kind of woman she had
grown up.
Still his cid feeling Of pique was upper
most, when shown into her fathers magnifi-
cent parlor; aad this, combined with his
astonishmeut at seeing graceful and high
bred woman annospced as his old playmate,
lent an air Of coldness aud embarrassment
to his greetings. Whether it was this or

The Lost Heart.
BIT D. s. F.

A heart was lost, nor could be found
Amepg the treasures of the skies;
p A heart Ras lost; the world had found
q. The rare and costly prize. sT
"a Tears of sorrow dimmed the eye,
OF spirits bright above;
"A heart had strayed its pathway high
Without the pale of Love. sa Ely
Twas quick and warm and loving too,
Once throbbed in life as pure
As a star in heavens mild blue,
Afar from earthly sin secure.
In it was stored the pRre and good,
There gifts of heaven lay; .
A bower it was amid the wood,
Where Love dwelt all the day.
1t was flower in beauty born
To cheer the passer-by;
A budding rose without thorn
e With fragrance from on high.
1t was beauteous bird of song .
So sweetly trilled its lay, .r..
And amid earths busy throng
eg Fer poured its roundelay. ..3r
A heart is lost, nor can be found
Recorded in the Book of Life, ,,
'Tis lost amid the dizzy round a.#
OF the worlds tumultuous strife.

Amid the snarcs Of earth, ....

Whose beams iIlume the night, .
And points the heart to heaven.

BE Gentlemen at Home.

There are few families, VIC imagine, any
where, in which love is not abused as fur
nishing = license for impoliteness. A hus-
band, father, or brother will speak harsh
words to those whom he loves the best and
to those who love him the best, simbly be.
cause the security Of love and family pride
keeps him from getting his head broken
1t is shame that man will speak more im-
politely, at times to his wife or sister, thAa
he would dare to any other female, except q
low and vicious one. 1t is thus that the
holiest affections OF mans nature prove to
be . weaker protection to woman in the
family circle than the restraints of society,
and that a woman usually is indebted for the
kindness and poteness Of life to there nos
belonging to her own household. Things
ought not so to be. The man who, because
it will not be reasented, inilicts his spleenand
bad temper upon those of his hearth-stone,
IS a small coward. and very mean man.
Kind words are the circulating medium be
-ween true gentlemen and true ladies at home,
and no polish exhibited in society can a tone
Iorthe harsh language and disrespectful treat !,
menttoo often indulged in betwee those bond
together by Gods own ties OF blood, and The
still more sacred bonds ofconiugai love.

Men out Of their spheres.

Nature has decided that there are spheres
for every class of creatures. The man of
honor rand goodnesshas his sphere, and he of
iowiy calling dhd degradation has his also;
and whenever an individual of meager abil-
ties and narrow mind, is taken from his prop
er walk in life, and placed in more exalted
position-one for which be is totally unfit
he partakes more Of the iackass and hyena
than any other animal we know of. He is
ungentlemanly, uncorteous, stubborn, devoid
Of good breeding, and repulsire ID every one
Of refined taste and gentlemanly bearing.

EARNING HIS LIVING by means of what some

in authority, and look to the result--see athot

Genuine Specimen of old Fashion

tained by vhig leaders for those whose
lot in life requires them to earn their bread
BY the sweat Of their brow. The editor OF
the PollGd;ug, in making this article the
leader in his paper of the above date, exhi-
bits boIdness aud honesty which scorn the
hypocrisy that too frequently conceals the
true sentiments of his party leaders from the
public gaze 1t will be seen that he frankly
avows the doctrine that men engaged in the
pursuits to which he alludes, should be ex-
cluded from the humber as well as the more
important grade of offices. He thinks that
msn who "have been eating and living" by
meniallab are in danger of making GAS
SES'' of themselves, and disgusting the
"GENTEEL PORTION of society,"" when
they are placed in position of public trust!
Such is the very language of the article itself
and its bold utterance at this period in our
political history, proves that modern Whigge-

it was all Democratic, now it is Wing by
their own showing. A pretty mess of hon
