DICKENS thus describes a visit to the
Powder Mill of Hounslow, near London {:
"In this s;lcn. region, amid whose nine
ty-seven work places, no human voice ever
breaks upon the ear, and where, indeed,
no human form is seen except in the iso-
lated house in which his allotted task is per-
formed, there are are secreted upwards Of
two hundred and fifty work people. They
are a peculiar race, not Of course by ma
ture, in most cases, but by the habit Of
years. The circumstances Of momentary
destruction in which they live, added to
the most stringent and necessary regula-
tions, have subdued their minds and feel
ings to the conditions Of their hire. There
is seldom any need to enforce these regu-
tions. Some terrible explosion here, or in
works of q similar kind elsewhere, leaves
a fixed mark in their memories and acts as
constant warning. Here no shadow Of a
practical joke, or caper Of animal spirits,
ever transpire No witticisu, no oaths, ne
chatting, no slang. A laugh is never heard,
a smile is seldom seen. Even the work is
carried on by the men with as few word.
as possible, and these uttered in a low tone
Not that any one fancies that mere sound
will awaken the spirit Of combustion, OF
cause an explosion to take place, but thai
their feelings are always kept subdued.
If one man wishes to communicate any
thing to another, or to ask for anything
from somebody at short distance he mus

call out. There Is particular reason 10

Self Waiting Table.

Amongst the novel and useful inven-
tions of this progressive age is a self watt
ing Table, invented by Lea Pusey, Esq /.
Superintepde us of the Machine Shopkst
Patterson on the Pennsylvania Rasiroad.
1t is SO arranged that the central portion
of the table revolvss, within the rim or
outer part Of it, and upon that part Of it,
meats, vegetables, &c, are placed Tho
rim of the table is Of sufficient width to
allow the guest to be seated comfortably
aud conveniently, and whilst the central
portion of the table, with its coutents is
made to pass slowly y and steadily before
him he eau help himself to whatever dish
be faneies. The inventor was led to try
the experiment upon observing the great
difficulty that frequently occurs a: crowded
Rail Road Hotels, to give prompt and
proper attendance to the guests, whose
time for dining is limited. A table con-
structed as above stated will be put in sp-
GRAFTON in few days, at the PATTERSON
House, where its practical operations aau
be seen. Great credit is due the inventor
for the novelty Of the design.-!Mbain.orn

Poetry of the. Fading Leaf.

We have just been passing through the
season of the " sere and yellow leaf" The
summer has sped away on wings viewless and
swift, and autumn has come with its feecy
clouds, its gorgeous sunsets, its moaning
winds, its variegatcd forests and its falling
leaves. These, even, have almost passed,
and field and forest look rugged and bare,
swept by" chill November's surly blast. y
Autumn and its belongings have been
fruitful of poetry. There is deep, inef-
fable feeling of sadness, yet fascinating
and plcasurablc, which it sheds upon the
spirit, to which poetic genius is most keen
ly alive, and which has often given utter
ance to the breathings Of song. Its faded
and withcring forms, its Aower-buds nipped
with frost, and its thousand mementOes OF
departed life and beauty, are fruitful Of
illustration of themes which speak home
to the human heart. Where could tbs
mind Of the poet turn for imagery finer
than this
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the North winds breath,
And stars TO set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o DEATH"
We have gathered a few fragments in
our poctical readings, which We sfer te
our readers as tribute to the passing year
They are but 1.-THE of the poetry Of which
the " fading leaf has been suggestive.
Who does not remember the scene tt
which Thomson would have us turn oul
eyes! How observingly the slow painting
Of autumn is described
" But ses, the fading many-colored woods
| Shade de~p'ning over shade, tho counirv round
| Embrown"
Here is touching, echo-likc requiem
from Mrs. Merton:

Woman and her Pet Luxury.

The SHAWL, is :he pet article of dress.
From time remote beyond computation,
the sheep of Cashmere have been cherished
on their hills, and the goats of Thibet on
their plains, and the camclS of Tar tary on
their stcppcs, to furnish material for the
choices: shawls. From time immcmorial,
the patterns which we know SO well have
been handed down as half-sacred tradi-
ton through lIindoo ancestry, which
puts even Welsh pedgrees to shame. For
thousands of years have the bright dyes,
which are the despair of our science and art,
been glittering in Indian looms, in those
primitive pits under the palm tree, where
the whimsical patterns grow like the
wild flower springing from the soil. For
thousands of years have eastern potentates
made presents of shawls to distinguished
strangers, together with diamonds and
pearls
At this day, when the eastern prince
sends gifts to the European sovereigns,
there are shawls to the value of thousands
ofpounds, together with jewels, perfumes,
and wild beasts, and valuable horses
Just as vas done in the days of the Pha-
raohs, as the paintings on Egyptian tombs
SHOW Us at this day. And the subjects OF
soTereigus have as much liking for shawls
as any queen. AT the Russian court, the
ladies judge one another by their shawls
as by their diamonds. In France, the
bridegroom wins favor by jadicious gift
of this kind. In Cairo and Damascus, the
gift of shawl will cause almost as much
heart-burning in the harem, as the intro
dsction Of new wife. In England, the
daughter of the house spends the whole Of
her first quarters allowance in the purchase
of shawl. The Paris grisette and the
London drcssmaker 60 to their work with
the little shawl pinned neatly at the waist.
The lost gin-drinker covers her rags with
the remnant of the shswls of better days.
The farmers daughter buys a white cotton
shawl, with a.gay border, for her wedding
and 1t washes and dyes until, having wrap.
ped all her babies in turn, it is finally dyed
black to siSnalize her. widowhood. The
maiden aunt, growing elderly, takes tc
wearing shawl in the house in mid-wiuter
and the granny would no more think o.
going wiih,ut it any season than wi,hcu

this last regulation. Amid all this silence
whenever a shout does occur, everybody
knows that some imminent danger is e1-
pected the next moment, aud all rush head
long from the direction of the shout. As
to running toward it to offer any assistance,
as common in all other cases, 1t Is thor
oughly understood that none can be afford
ed. An accident here is immediate and
beyond remedy II the shouting be coll
tinued for some time (for man might be
drowning in the river that might cause
one or two of the boldest to return, but
this would be . rare occurrence. 1t Is by
no means to be inferred that the men are
selfish and inssnsible to the perils Of each
other; on the contrary, they have the great
est consideration for each other, a. Well as
their employers, and think Of the danger
to the lives of others, and Of the property
at stake at all times, and more especially
in all the more dangerous houses The
proprietors Of the various gun-powder mills
all display the same consideration for each
other, and whenever any improvement
tending TO lessen danger is discovered by
one, it is Immediately communicated to all
the others. The wages Of the men are
good, and the hours very short; no artiti-
cial lights are ever used in the works
They all wash themselves-black, white,
and bronze-and leave the mills at half
past three in the afternoon.

Gated to the main building. 1t was acci-
dental. The fire was discovered about IL
O'Clock, but had made such fearful pro-

the building were unavailing. We have
been informed that the building was Insured

loss will not fall short of $1,000. The
School will not suffer any int rrurtion in
consequence thereof, there having been

MELANCHOLY AND REMARKABLE.-On
the Goth of August, the steamer Atlantic
came in cellusion with the propeller of
Oglensburg, off Long Point, and sunk
with nearly three hundred people on board.
Nearly three months afterwards the waters
of the lake were disturbed by \ terrific
tempest, and the Buffalo Rough Notes says
the bodies of the unfortunate people who
were buried beneath the blue waves of the
lakes rose to the surface and foated around
