IN MEMORY OF COL. P. M. BUTLER.
WHEN England speaks OF fame,
And tells her monarcl's glory,
Our gallant Buffers name
Shall meet the Bri,on's story;
His lion heart. his lordly eye,
Alas arc cold forever,
Nor bugle-note, nor battle cry,
Can fire or wake them ever!
Cold, cold on glory's bed,
a wreath his brow entwining,
Low sleeps the mighty dead,
Ills tolls and cares rcsigning.
There lived, since him who won
The name proud Richard borcs
None wortll;cr Of his throne,
Than our brave chief no more.
lie leaves spell to wake the pride
OF those true hearts that walled him,
When, bravcly battling, nobly died
Their chief where duty called lin.
We plant upon his grave
The laurel and the willow,
For fame will crown The brave,
Though grief may stain his pillow.
His monument should be
Upon yon mighty mountain,
Whose summit scans the sea-
Where flows Sauda's fountain;
Ay. raise it there, and on it rear
The banner Of his glory,
And let the granite tribute bear
Devotion's manly story.
And there the wanderers eye
May learn how fame will cherish,
With love that will not die,
The names that cannot perish.
And let his marble shade,
BY that proud record standing,
Look down when battles blade
Cleans bright wlicle hosts are banding !:
Nlcth:nks the eye Of stone would blaze,
And marble check would borrow
The hue his wore in those proud days
That gave our foes to sorrow;
Each warrior, marshaIlcd there,
Would swear By him We cherish,
The stainless flag we bear
Must conquer or wcrcrish! j, " !.

Virginian ascribes the invention 10 man by
the name of Prouty, born and raised in the
city of Richmond
"He learned the gunsmith business in the
armory, removed to Augusta, Georgia
there he constructed and put into operation
the very engine about which there is at pre-
sent so much noise. His machine was pub.
licly exhibited at the Bell Tavern, in Rich
mond, in 1852, at which date patent was
obtained, and an engine constructed in Au-
gusta, which drove pair of mill.stones;
but for want of capital the contriyance was
temporarily made and had to be abandoned"
We have an indstinct recollection of the
engine spoken Of above, aud we will take
pains to inform ourselves on the subject
Mr.. prouty was highly respectable and en-.
terprsing mechanic, and resided in this city
for several years. If any benefit is to 10

VOL. XVIII.---NO. A.
FOREIGN TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES.

We copy the following from the New
York Economist, paper edited by one of
the most able financial writers in the coun-,
try:
The actual existing trade between this
country and Great Britain is Immediately
in favor of this country. For the year
1851, the apparent balance in favor of the
U States was Sl2,262, ,754, yet there was q {.
balance of specie sent 10 England. One
cause of this was the fact that our exported
produce realized less than it was invoced
at Another cause was that the balance of
trade between the United States and France,
Spanish West Indies, Brazil and China was.
against this country-these bills were to a,
very large extent, running on London for
settlement. At the same time a great many
West India aud provincial bills on England
are sent here for sale, according to the
balance due from the dependencies to the
mother country for goods bought, as well
as for government purposes. The sales of
our produce in England alone pay that
which we buy of English goods, pay for
the purchase Of tea in China and coffee in
Brazil, as well as goods of the states. of
Europe, through the Intervention Of bills.
Hence the old theories of an unfavorable
trade with any country, because official re-
turns show an apparent amount to be paid
to her, have long since been exploded.
The export Of farm produce, cheese, hams,
&c., to England has increased within ten
years near two millions This forms
credit against which long bills may be
drawn and transmitted to Canton, and
given in payment for tea. The tea merchant
pays them away or sells them to the pur-
chaser of opium from the English East India
merchant In the hands of the latter, they
are the best remittance to London, for
which there is constant demand. On their
arrival in London they are discharged with
the avails of Western produce sold to the
people Of ENGLAND. Similar bills are run
ming upon London from almost every point
with which the United States hold inter.
course The effect of this is to extend the
basis of our credits, and to improve the
means Of buying from all the nations Of the
earth.
What London is to the commercial world
as the common centre of exchange, is New
York to the United States. All the balances
of the trade of all the States are here ulti.
mately settled, and from this point.the final
settlement with Europe takes place, At the
present moment there is nothing due Europe
that is, the supply Of bills is equal to the
demand, and the rate is at par.

MAD TuRoucn EXCESSIVE JoY--A wri.
ter describing the Lunatic Asylum at Black
wells Island, says: Here is woman whom
JOY has deprived of her senses. Her hus-
band and child were on board a vessel which
was wrecked. Going down to the shore
every day, as if the wish of being gnearer the
beloved objects that lay buried beneath the
sea suddenl she beheld them handing from
vessel which had picked them up and saved
them. An overwhelming flood of JOY per-
vaded her bosom-and then reason was gone
forever. She never has known them since,
but sits on what she thinks the same rock,
where she used to bewail their fate, wiring
ing her hands and moaning most piteously,
willie every week the husband and son come
and gaze on her face, in hope 10 rouse one
CLEAN of memory-but in vain.

TIE Solution of Citrate of Magnesia,
which is now rapidly growing in popular es-
timation as mild, safe and tastcless aperient
medicine, is, as we learn from the American
Journal Of Pharmacy vol. XVI, prepared as
follows:
First prepare six twelve once bottles, and
fit to them corks of the best quality.
Take of Citric Acid, six ounces.
Carbonate of Magnesia. four ounces.
Lemon Syrup, twelve fluid ounces.
Water, as much as may be required.
Dissolve the Ctric Acid in two pints Of
water, previously heated; add to it three
ounces and half Of the Carbonate Of Mag.
nesia, and as soon as it is dissolved, strain
or filter, as the case may demand, distribute
it equally between the six bottles, and add
to each two fluid ounces of lemon syrup
The remaining half ounce of Carbonate is
triturated smoothly with sufficient water to
make six fluid ounces, and fluid ource Of
the mixture added to each bottle, which
should then be filled with water and imme-
diatey corked and tied over securely. In
the course of half an hour, with occasional
agitation, the Carbonate will be dissolved,
and the eliminated Carbonate Acid retained
by the solution if the corks prove GOOD.

ANEcDorE OF sTEFHEN G1RARD.

The following capital anecdote, llhstra-
tive of the late Stephen Girafd, Of Philadel.
phia, is from the New Bedford Mercury:
Mr.. Girard had favorite clerk, one who
every way pleased him, and who, at the age
of twenty -one years, expected Mr.. 6. to
say something of his future prospect, and
perhaps lend him helping hand in starting
him in the world. But Dir. G. said nothing,
carefully avoiding the subject Of his escape
from minority.
At length, after the lapse Of some weeks,
the clerk mustered courage enough to ad-
dress Mr.. G. upon the subject.
81 suppose, sir" said the clerk, "I am
free, and thought ! would say something
to you as to my future course"
"Yes, yes, know you are" said MIR. G
:" and my advice to vou.is that you 60 and

This announcement well mic threw the
clerk off the track but recovering his cqui.
librium, he said if Mr.. G. was in earnest he
would do so.
81 am in earnest, was the reply.
The clerk rather hesitatingly sought one
of the best coopers, and agreed with him
upon the terms Of apprenticeship. and went
at it in good earnest, and in the course of
time made rs good a barrel as anybody.
He went and told Mr.. Grard he had gradu-
ated with all the honors Of the craft, and was
ready to set up his business, at which the
old man seemed gratifed, and told him to
make three Of the best barrels he could
The young cooper selected the Hbest mate:
rials he could, and soon ;,ut into shape and
finished three of the best E.srrels, and wheeled

demanded the price.
Gone dollar" replied the clerk, " it is as
low as can live by
Cheap enough" said the employer,
"make out your bill and present it,"
And now comes the cream Of the whole.
Mr.. G. drew check for $4,000, and
ha"ded it to the clerk, closing with these
words:
"There, take that, and invest it in the
best possible way, aud if you are unIortu-
nate and lose it, you have good trade to
fall back upon, which will afford you Il liV-
ing at all times"

Be CoMpREuEys1vE-Talkto to the point
and stop when you have reached it. The
faculty that some possess, of making one
idea cover quire of paper, is not good for
much. BE short and comprehensive in all

Lord Chesterfield wrote very clear poem on
nothing. There are men who get one idea
into their heads, and but one, and they make
the most of it. You can see and almost
feel it when in their presence. On all occa.

II IT WASN'T FOR PRIDE.-But for pride,

porch to-day, might have rested in the
shadow Of his own household tree. But

purlieus of vice might be now happy and
respected wife and mother. But for pride,

his mother carry his bundles, might grow
up Il useful member Of society, instead OF
dragging along a wretchcd life, and dying
infamous. But for pride, that foolish girl
might be the companion of man, ign.
souled, intelligent mechanic, instead OF the
worthless, brainless creature, with his NOUS
tache, his airs, and his ignorance. But for
pride, the inhabitants of yonder princely
dwelling might pay their honest debts, quar-

wholesome food, sleep sweetcr, and live
longer. :, ,.

that makes life beautiful, does pride strip

Commission, in the papers of the country,
returned to Washington on Thursday from
a visit to Mexico. 1t is stated he is in full
possession of the facts proving beyond cou-
troversey the existence Of the silver mine
claimed by him near San Duis Potosi, of
which he alleges he was dispossessed by the
Mexican authorities, and for which ali award
was made in his favor by the Board of Com.
missioners, under the treaty. The editor of
the Baltimore Sun had on Friday an inter-
view with Mr.. Henry Mary, the chief officer
of the commission, and learns from him
that all these publications are unauthorized,
and that none of them eminate from the
members of the board, who are under strict
iniunctions OF secrecy. Moreover, he init
mates very properly that, whatever evidence
may be in the hands of the commission, DR..
Gardner is entitled to an unbiased public
opinion, in the position he occupies before
the country, as an individual awaiting a
legal investigation before proper tribunal.
