In the heart where virtues dwell;
Vain the dream e'er thus dcccving
Every hope Of tn fond, believing

In her fond embraces weeping
Dreaming in their lone retreat
Dreams Of smiles they meier may greet.

MANUFACTURE OF PAPER.-The N. Y.
Times has an interesting article OH Paper
Manufacture, from which we derive the follow
ing statistics connected with that business in
the United Statcs:- ,t ..'.-
There are in the United States $50 paper
mills in actual operation. Allowing 4 engines
to each mill, and calculating that each en-
CINE will tilakc SEQ pounds of paper per day,
the quantity Of paper made i'll the yer will
be rs follows:
Number of mills $50: number of engines
1900; number Of pounds Of paper per day.
90O, 900 number of pounds in the year, allow
ing 800 days in the year, go 100000 Value
of this paper at 10 cents A pound, S27 ,o00.-
600. 1t is estimated that one and u half
pounds Of rags are rcqu!:cd to make one
pound Of paper; adopting these data, we find
that 4o5 100000 ofponnds of rag are con-
sumed in one year: their value at cents
pound being SIG 100000. The cost of labor
is one and a quarter cents upon each pound
of paper manufactured and is, therefore.
SO .31j 900 year: and the cost of labor and
rags united is Sl9.575 900 year.-Thc cost
Of manufacturing aside from rags and lal'ors,
estimated from adding together the cost Of
tclts, wire, cloth, bleaching powders, fuel:
machinery, interest and fixed capital. insur-
ancc expenses, &c, we find to be 81 ,O50,00
Adding this to the cost of rags and labor We
find that S23 625,0 900 is the total cost of
manufacturing paper worth $27 100000,
meastire Of profit by no means unreasonable;
and which even might be considered small,
were not the manufacturer comparatively free
from the sudden changes that effect the man
uiacturc of cloth AMI metals.

power to increase their means Of subsistence
Hence the only means we can use for increasing
their number is to supply them with shelter and
retreat. BY such appliances IL would be easy to
keep their numbers up 20 n level with the quanti-
ties Of insects that constitute their prey.
The wren and the blue-bird are encouraged by
similar accommodations But these birds arelnOt
social in their habits, a separate box must be sup
piled for each pair Of birds. The wren is indie
fatigable destroyer Of insects and one Of the most
interesting Of our familiar songsters, singing like
the riser. during the heat Of the day, when most
other birds are silent. The blue-bird, which is
hardly less familiar, delights in tho hollow branch
Of an old tree in the orchard but would be equal
ly satisfied with an artificial imitation Of the rude
convcniences supplied him by nature.
II we observe all these requirements when en-
ployed in tling a farm or laying out country
seat, we do but avoid the destruction Of those
beautiful relations which nature has established
throughout the earth. The plow and the scythe
may do their work for man without interfering
with the wants Of those creatures whom nature
has appointed as the enliveners Of hig toll. Every
estate might be made TO represent the whole coun-
try, in its fields and cultivated lawn, with their
proper admxture Of forest, thicket and primitive
herbage. Then while sitting at our windows, the
eye would be delighted by the sight Of little cop
pces Of wild shrubbery, with their underground
Of MOSES, ferns and Christmas evergrecns, rising
in the midst Of the smooth lawn, and in charming
opposition to the fower-beds, that distributed
in other parts Of the ground In these miniature
wilds, the small birds would find a shelter, suited
to all their wants and instincts, and in return for
our hospitality, would act as the sentinels of our
orchards and gardens, and the musicians to attend
us in our daily labor and recreations.--O Ohio Far

MANKIND.

Let US speak Of a man as we find him.
And censure alone what we see;
And should man blame, let's remind him
That from faults we are none Of US free.
That from the heart could be torn,
And tho mind could be road on the brow,
There are many we'd pass by with scOrn.
Whom we're loading with high honors now.
Let us speak Of a man as we find him,
And heed not what others may say,
If he's frai, then kind word would bind him
Where coldness would turn him away;
For the heart must be barren, indeed,
Where no bud Of repentance can bloom,
Then pause, ere you censuro with speed,
On a smile or frown hangs his doom,

PERSEVERANCE.
BY CHARLIE SWAIN.

Take the spade Of Perseverance,
Dig the field of Progress wide
Every bar to true instruction
Carry out and cast aside;
Every stubborn weed of error,
Every weed that hurts the soil,
Tares, whose very growth is terror.
Dig them out, what'ere the toll
Give the stream Of Education
Broader channel. bolder force;
Hurl the stones Of Persecution
Out whene'er they block its course /;
Seek for strength in selfexertion;
Work and still have faith to wait;
Close the crooked gate to fortune,
Make the road to honor straight!
Men are agents for the future
As they work, so ages win
Either harvest Of Advancement
Or the product Of their sin
Follow out true cultivation
Widen Education's plan;
From the majesty Of Nature
Teach the majesty of Man!

THE DESTRUCTIVE PROPERTIES OF COAL
GAS.

A volumnous and important report has been
presented to the City Court Of Sewers, in London,
by DIR. Lctheby Professor Of Chemistry and Toxi-
cology in tho London Hospital, upon the destructive
qualities Of gas. lie states that sulphuric acid is
produced by the combustion Of the gas, and that
little or no ammonia escapes to neutraliLe it, The
Professor then proceeded to examine the question
us to the effects of this destructive compound on
various articles Of furniture, &C., and produced
specimens OF leather, paper, cotton and linen, to
prove that the corrosive power Of the acid is very
considerable, and said:
at may now be asked whether can suggest any
remedy for the evil. l reply that the remedy is
threefod: First, in respect Of the manufacture Of
the gas secondly, as regards its publication and
At present gas is manufactured from materials
which are known to contain large per centagc of
sulphuret Of iron and the temperature at which
the gas il made is far too high for sanitary pur-
poses Secondly. Although much attention has
been directed to the publication Of gas from one or
two OF its impurities little or no notice has hither-
to been taken Of the most important of all, namely
bi-sulp phate Of carbon. This, believe has been
in consequence of the difficulty which the public
havo in recognizing it; and hope has therefore
been entertained that it would pass Innoticed. 1t
s, however. one of the most formidable Of all the
Impurities contained in coal gas. Thirdly. II is
advisable that gas should be burnt outside the
room shop whenever it is practicable; and, when
this is not the case the products of the combustion
should be conveyed away by special contriyance
as speedily as possible; indeed they ought not to
be allowed to escape into the room nt all. / am
quito sure that many elegant arrangements may be
suggested for this purpose whenever the public are
made aware Of its Importance"
These views are not entirely new to us, though
the subject has never been brought very prominent
ly before the American public. We have been told
that the principal reason why tho Astor Library is
-. ~ IL -. l.. T. Al u
attendance at libraries in this city in the evenings
is the destructive effect Of gas upon the books.
The London booksellers have found that gas is so
ruinous to their stock that they have almost uni
ysrsally discontinued its usc and in those cases
where it is used it is provided with an apparatus
for carrying all the discharged gases out of the
apartment. What is worse, it Is found that gds is
most destructive to the finest kinds Of binding, and
that the Russian suffers more than any other.-N
