UThe use of grapes, as an article Of food,
is much recommended in cases of consumption
being called the cure des ~raisino; these contain
a large quantity Of grape sugar, the kind which
most nearly resembles milk sugar in its character
and composition which is also very useful for
consumptives, it having a great attraction for
oxygen, and therefore readily affording material
for respiration.

The Lost Arts.-The art of making the Da-
mascus blades is lost. It is said that they were
made by welding together alternate steel and
gold wires, and twisting them in the process.
Their elasticity and keenness are almost fabu-

novel, in which Richard divided a thick iron
with . blow of his sword, and Saladin cut into
parts a silk scarf floating in the mir, with his
Damascus blade.

The "devil," now, is in all his "glory!
He has just commenced his glorious trade.
Trampling 'pon Oppression of ev'ry grade!
This is the printers duty-this his pride
Protecting both his country and his bride!
True, there's many a low and bastard heart,
Who basely performs his allotted part
The part of a patriot, husband, friend,
In ev'ry action of the heart and mind
But there are others who their duties know,
However PLACID, in station high or low!
Who love their trade, their country and their God,
Their wives and children, and the very sod
Which cover those whom they loved so well,
And with whom they should hope again to dwell.
BE this my aim-be all that man should be,
Who would be honor'd, PROSPEROUS, happy, free!
But I'm yet a poor little carrier-boy,
Scarce old enough to know what's pain or joy
What's noble in a man, or what is not
What actions brighten or what actions blot.
But they tell me that I'll certainly know
All that ! ought to-amd a great deal more!
And now, kind patrons, ! am here to-day
With my address-but scarce know what to say,
So strange | feel, but We'll be friends | know,
For er'ry ,eek I'll be here at your door,
With your plainly printed and faithful sheet,
Which, with smiles, | know you will ever greet.
Here then III close these b~adly-written rhymes
By wishing you all sorts of happy times
That at the end Of eighteen ftty-tour,
You may've added much to your worldly store
Have paid your de BITS. and done too all the good
Which, without in jury, you thought yon could;
And trusting that you II have continued health,
Plenty of fat babies and hordes of wealth.
That you IL take the Sentinel while you live,
And t,co danes to the Boy give
Allow me, most generous sir, TO say,
