ART AND SCIENCE.

The specimens of silk fabrics, furnished by the
Japanese, show that they can manufacture almost
every variety of those goods. Grapes, pongees,
challics, camlets, and gauzc, are all made, especl-
ally the first, which is the favorite article of dress
among the gentry, as it is in China. Cheap COM
substitutes for pure silk AHhong the poor. The dyes
in all kinds Of silk, and the stamps on cotton, fur
Their prove that the arts of ornamenting the products
Of the loom have been carried to u high degree OF
excellence; some Of the tints are superior to those
in China, and the variety Of patterns stamped on
cotton is great and novel.
A writer in the Scientific American. referring to
the fact that steel is nothing more than refined iron
impregnated with carbon, says, that if tho carbon
contained in the steel be crystalized, the steel is
rendered hard, and if its carbon is in solution OF
uncrystaliled, it becomes soft Hence the reason
why steel becomes hard or soft, is because of the
crystalization or non-crystalization of its carbon,
and not because of its particles being brought in
closer contact with each. other. A piece of hard
steel is actually larger than the same piece when
soft. Steel may be made hard by very gradual
cooling when heated to redness, or soft by heating
and suddenly cooling the same. To make hard
steel, cool it in hot melted tin; and to make it soft,
cool it in soap suds from soft water.

A LEAF FROM "LLoYD's LIsT."-An interesting
tabular return has just been published in Lloyd's
List of the casualties to shipping, reported to
Lloyd's during the month Of January last. They
arc thus classified: Vessels totally wrecked, AS:
part of the cargo saved, II; whole or ne arly SO of
cargo saved, 3 ; sunk, 50 raised, 6: abandoned
and lost, AZ; ships recovered after being abandon
ed, 6; stranded, whose subsequent fate was not re-
ported, l55 stranded but afterwards got of, l79;
ships got off with loss of part of cargo, 5 missing
from other causes, 4 ships touching the ground
and sustaining triiling damage, 6 total casualties,
6l0. What a fearful list of disasters for a period of
only one month 1t will be observed that no re-
turn has been made Of the sacrifice of life on these
occasions. We believe, however, that we arc with
in the mark when we state that probably one thop-
sand persons have persisted from these accidents.
But no account is rendered to LlOyd's of the fire.
quent disasters to boats, and their crews, which
happen to those individuals who are compelled, in
some way or another, to seek q livelihood on the
borders of the sea. Although we cannot subscribe
to the dogma that, by increased nautical skill and
the continued improvement Of ship-huilding, sea
and land trayelirg could be brought to the same
degree of security-for it would not be in the power
of man to control the stormy elements-yet we do
believe that, by the diligent cultivation of these
sciences, shipwrecks could tie very materialIy
iessened and We trust that, when the excellent
clauses of the new merchant shipping act will be
brought into full operation, disasters at sea, as fai
as English ships are concerned, will be consider
ably less numerous than, unfortunately, they ar,

THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER FOR n


IL MEN cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battle-felds and glory;
If writ in human hearts, a name,
Seemed better than in song and story;
If men, instead of nursing pride,
Would learn to hate it and abhor it
If more relied
On love to guide,
The world would be the better for it.
If men dwelt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternel;
If loves work had more willing hands
To link this world TO the supcrnsl;
If men stored up loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human hearts would pcar i
If %"yours" and 'mine"
Would once combine,
The world would be the better for it.
If man would act the play of live,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If bigotry would sheath his knife,
Till God became more universal (;
If custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it
If talent shone
In truth alone,
The world would be the better for it.
If man were wise in little things
Affecting less in all their dealings;
fhcarts had fewer rusty strings
To insolate their kindly feelings
If men, when wrong bears down the right

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
TEARS.

Life is like a tear
Born in the sad depths of woman's eye
That brims up slowly through them, and then lies
And rocks as in a cradle, warmly hid
In the rich brown shadow of her glossy lid
And then peeps out beneath it warily,
Quivering in tremulous uncertainty,
And rainbow'd like a bubble in the sun
Upon the twinkliRg ~vergc-until with
Will leap and gush Of ripe intensity,
1t darts away. Aaon.

Cheerfulness and a festival spirit fills the soul
full of harmony-Itcomposes music for churches
and hearts-it makes and publishes Qualifications
of God-lt produces thankfulness and serves the
end Of charity: and, when the oil of gladnoss
runs over, it makes bright and tall emissions Of
light and holy fires, reaching up to a cloud, and
making JOY round about; and, therefore, since il
IS 50 innocent, and may be so pious and full of
holy advantage, whatsoever can innocently minis.
ter to this holy JOY does set forward the work OF
religion and charity. And, indeed, charity itself
which is the vertical top of all religion, is nothing
else but q union of joys concentrated in the heart
and reflected from all the angles of our life and
intercourse 1t is a rejoicing in God, q gladnesi
in our neighbours good, a pleasure in doing good. q
rejoicing with him and without love We cannol
have any Joy at all.

TnEATRICALs IN CmINA.-The Celestial Empire
has much more resemblance to an immense fair,
where, amidst a perpetual fux and refux of buy
crs and sellers, of brokers, lOungers and thieves,
you see in all quarters stages and mountebanks,
jokcrs and comedians, laboring uninterruptedly to
amuse the public. Over the whole surface of the
country, II the eighteen provinces, in the towns of
the first, second and third oider, in the burghs and
the villages, rich and poor, mandarins and people,
all the Chinese without exception are passionately
fond Of dramatic representations. There are the
alters everywhere the great towns are full of them,
and the actors play night and day, There is no
little village that has not its thedtcr, which is usu-
ally placed opposite to the pagoda, and sometimes
even forms a part OF it. In some circumstances the
permanent theaters are not found sufficient, and
then the Chinese construct temporary ones, with
wonderful facility, out of bamboo. The Chinese
theater is always extremely simple, and its arrange
ments are such us to exclude all idea of scenic il
fusion. The decorations are fixed, and do moi
change rs long as the piece lasts. One would new
er know what they were intended for, if the actors
themselves did not take care to inform the public
and correct the motionless character of the scenes
ly verbal explanations. The only arrangement
that is ever made with Il view to scenic effect is thu
introduction Of Il kind Of trap-door in front of thu
stage, that serves for thu entrances and exits 0
supernatural pcrsonages, and goes by the name 0
the Gate Of Demons. "-HHe'S Chinese Empire.

Prayer is the peaccof our spirit, the stiffness of
our thoughts, the evenness Of recollection, the
seat Of mobilization, the rest of our cares, and the
calm of our tempest; prayer is the issue of quiet
mind, of untroubled thoughts, it is the daughter
of charity and the sister Of meekness and he that
prays TO God, with an angry, that is, with a trou-
bied and ~discomposed spirit,is like him that retires
into a battle to mediate, and sets up his closet in
the out-quarters of an army.

cannot praise a fugitive and clustered virtue
unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out
and sees her adversary, but sinks out Of the race,
where that immortal garland is to be run for, not
without dust and heat. This was reason why our
sage and serious poet, Spenser describing true
temperance under the person of Guion, brings
him in with his palmer through the cave of mann
mon and the bower of earthly bliss, that he might
see and know, and yet abstain.

Irving resides, is one he built some three years ago

on the site of the "Van Tassel IIous." In fact the

At an earlier day it was called "Wolferts Roost'
-Wolfert Acker being one of the Privy Council
ors of the renowned Peter Stuyyesant.
Afterwards it came into the possession of the
Van Tassels. 1t was here that the quilting party
and dance took place. so graphically described in
the Legends of Sleepy Hollow. 1t was here that
the unfortunate IchabOd Crane and Brom Bones
unequivocally met, both being suitors for the hand
and heart of Kate Van Tassel. Your readers will
recall the amusing incidents of that story, and es-
pecialiy the last appearances of lchabod Crane,
A weather cock of miserable appearance is pech-
cd on the gable of the main building. 1t was once
the ornament of old Stadt House of New York in
the time of the old Dutch rule. r.
& The house is surrounded by trees-some wild
and some planted by Irving. The buildings are
nearly covered with vines and creepers. The Trum-
pet Flower and the Ivy Vine are the most conspic-
nous of them.
The Ivy, which grows unusually rank, has q PEE
