PAPER MAKING IN THIS CCUNrRY.-A writer
in the London Daily News, who has visited
the United States and examined into the va
rious plans and processes of paper making in
this country, says that the consumption of
paper here is just four times per head what it
is England, and may be put down at 300, OOO,-
900 pounds annually American manufactu-
rers, he says, have recourse to substances
scarcely known abroad, and straw is employed,
strengthed with stronger fibre, for thin and
thick woven papers, as well as for mixing
with white paper pulp. the waste from palm
leaf manufacturers, swamp canes. wood shaw
lngs, and other materials, are employed in
making paper, and white paper is more abun-
dant than brown, by the latter being employed
for many purposes in America that it is not
abroad

The NEWBORN AND THE DEAD.-Lavatar,
In his "Physiognomy," makes the following
curious remarks:
81 have had occasion to observe some in
fants, Immediately on their birth, and have
found astonishing resemblance bet ween their
profile and that Of their father. A few days
after, this resemblance almost entirely disap-
peared; the influence of posture has altered
the design of tho face that you could have be-
lieved it different individual-I afterwards
saw two of these children die, the one at six
weeks and the other at four years of age and
about twelve hours after their death, they COM
pletely recovered the profile which had struck
me 80 much at their birth; only the profile of
the dead child was, as might be expected, more
strongly marked and more terse than that of
the living. On the third day their resemblance
began to disappear. know man of fifty
years and another of seventy, both of whom,
when alive, appeared to have no manner Of
resemblance to their children, and whose ply
siOgnomies belonged, if / may express myself,
to a class totally different. Two days after
their death, the profile of one become perfect
ly conformed to that Of his eldest son, and the
image of the other father might be traced in
the third of his sons. This likeness was quite
as distinctly marked as that of the children
who, Immediately after their death, brought
to my recollection the physiognomies which
they had at their birth

WHAT Is A YEAR,

" nat is year? IT'S but a wave
On life's dark rolling stream,
Which is 80 quickly gone that We ,s,
Account il but dream.
Ills but a single earnest throb g
OF Times old iron heart,
Which tireless now, and strong as when
Ii first with life did start.
What isA year? IT'S bat turn
OF times old blazen wheel;
Or but page upon the book
Which time must shortly seal.
IT'S but a step upon the road
Which we must travel DER,
A few more steps and we shall walk
Life's weary road no more.
What is a year? 'Tis but breath
From Times old nostrils blown,
As rushing onward DER the earth,
We hear his weary moan.
IT'S like the bubble on the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn,
As transient as the mist Of nom
Beneath the summers sun.
What is year? IT'S but type
Of life's oft changing scene,
Youths happy morn comes gaily on
With hills and valleys green.
Next Summers prime succeeds the Spring
Then Autumn with tear,
Then comes old Winter-death, and all
Must find level here.
