FAIR MOUNT.

Ofthe public works ofPhiladelphia, there are
none of which its inhabitants are more justly
proud, than those at Fair Mount, by which the
city is supplied with water of the best quality
and in the greatest plenty. Fair Mount is in
the rear of the city, upon the bank OF the
Schuylkll, the neighborhood of which affords
some romantic scenery. The reservoirs are sit
uated on the top of hill rising from the river,
part of it perpendicular rock, to the height OF
one hundred feet. The ascent from the river
to the reservoirs, is by flight of substantial
wooden steps, with resting places, over one OF
which is temple. The reservoirs, which are
surrounded with paling, outside of which is a
gravel walk, contain upwards of IL millions OF
gallons, supplying the city through between fiji
teen and twenty miles ofpipes. The water was
formerly forced to the reservoirs by steam, which
is no longer used 1T is now raised by machinery
propelled by the Schuylkil The machinery is
simple, and is turned by large water-wheels, of
which there are five, one of them of iron, and
twenty-four tons in weight. fall are in mo-
ton, they will raise seventeen millions of gal.
Ions in twenty-four hours. To turn them, the
Schuylkill has been damned its whole breadth,
by which the water is thrown back into the res
ervoir locks, whence it is admitted as required
to operate upon the wheels, and is discharged
into the river below the dam. The whole ex-
pense of these works, including the cost of
works abandoned, was l,783,OO0 dollars. The
water thus circulated through the city, is not
only sufficient for every family, but is used to
wash the streets. 1t is of immense service in
case of fire, as it is only necessary to screw the
hose to the hydrants, which are placed at con-
venent distances, to secure constant stream
Of sufficient force to reach any ordinary height.

HANDSOME WoMEN.-You put this question
how comes it to pass that the greater part OF
your handsome womn are exceedingly ignorant
and childish in their manners believe can ac-
count for it. tits not believed that Nature has
been less kind to their minds, because lavish
to their bodies, nor that they are born with less
capacities than others, but because they neglect
to cultivate their minds, and to improve their
mental facuties-and they are vain, and desire
to be admired. An ill-favored woman knows
that she cannot be loved for her face, this induces
her to endeavor to draw attention by her intel
ligence and wit. She applies her mind to
books, and bends the whole force Of her atten-
ton 70 her mprovement-and in spite ofNature
and all her unkindness, she becomes agreeable
The beauty, on the contrary, has only to make
her appearance to please-her vanity is gratitied
AS she never reflects, she never thinks that
her beauty is only for season. She is besides
so taken up with dress, with the care of being
at every assembly, to appear with advantage,
and to hear herself praised, that she has no time
for the cultivation other mind, however convinc-
ed she might be that it was necessary. Thus
of necessity she becomes fool, taken up with
childish tricks, the vain frippery of Dress shows
and sights. This may continue to thirty, at
most forty years Of age, if the small pox, or
some other disorder, does not tarnish this beau
ty. When youth is over, the time for improve
ment is gone-then this young lady, once, now
no longer, a beauty, continues in ignorance all
her life long, though nature has given her as
great an advantage as any other-whereas the
homely looking young woman who has now be-
come amiable defes old age and sickness that
can take nothing from her. Mrs. Jameson.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher denies through the
Independent Of the Odd uliimo, that his good la
by has presented him five little responsibilities
in one year. He says:
Twins there were, year ago, whose blessed
faces fill the house with light. But the three
above mentioned were born of those maternal
editors whose brains fulfil the prophets word
aye shall conceive chaff; We shall bring forth
stubble"

There are two passions which every boy ex-

can recolect the day when the fee simple of a
