PUTTING FoRMs FOR THINGs.-The man
who anxiously avoids the shadow of
granite post, but dasbes against the post
itself, is not whit more witless than he
who fears the appearance of doing wrong,
but is not afraid to do the wrong he thinks
will not appear. When Lord Chester
field counseled hollow hearted politeness
advised the forms of courtesy and gra-
ciousness instead of the things themselves
he must have seemed to any superior
order of moral beings as silly as the ape,
who puts a wig upon his head and expects
to be reverenced as Judge.

TO A Gagged EAGLE.
Bird of the sun. and Alpine cloud,
Why droops thy noble formq
The thunder DER thee rattles loud,
And calls thee to the storm
Bird of the gale, where is the fire
That lit thy monarch eye
Thy giant strength that sought the far
Tavilions of the sky.
Prcad mountain bird, thy fight is DER,
There's blood upon thy plume;
The lightning beckons thee aIoft,
But fate has sealed thy doom,
And ruthless hands have done the deed,
Freenaen have struck the blow,
On Freedoms altar thou must bleed,
Chained by thy heartless foe.
Bold bird! thy proper sphere is where
Wars crimson banners wave;
The emblem of our liberty,
The honored of the brave,
Thy FORM our coin and flag should grace,
Thy name our watchword be.
Each hero's heart thy pride of place"
Proud type of Victory

MANUFACTURE OF RUBBER SHOES
Contrary to the general impression, India
rubber, in the process Of manufacturing, is
not melted, but is passed through heated
iron rollers, the heaviest of which weigh
twenty tons, and thus worked or kneaded
as dough is at bakery. The rubber is
nearly all procured from the mouth of the
Amazon, in Brazil, to which point it is
sent from the interior. It's form, upon
arrival, is that of a jug or pouch, as the
natives use clay moulds of that shape
which they repeatedly dip into the liquid
caoutchouc until coating of the desired
thickness accumulates, when the clay is
broken and emptied out. The rubber,
after being washed, chopped fine, and roll,
ed to a putty like consistency, is mixed
with a compound of metallic substances.
principally white lead and sulphur, to give
it body or firmness Those sheets design
ed for the soles of shoes are passed under
rollers having diamond figured surface
From these the soles are cut by hand, and
the several pieces required to perfect the
shoe, are put together by females on
last The natural adhesion of the rubber
joins the seams The shoes are next var
nished and baked in an oven capable of
holding about two thousand pairs, and
heated to about three hundred degrees,
where they remain seven or eight hours
This is called the vulcanizing" process,
by which the rubber is hardened. A large
quantity of cotton cloth and cotton fan
mel, is used to line shoes and is applied
to the surface of the rubber while it is yet
in sheets Not particle of any of these
materials is lost. The scraps of rubber
are re-melted, and the bits of cloth are
chopped up with a small quantity of rub
ber and rolled out into a substance re-
sembling pasteboard. to form the inner
sole The profits of this business have
been somewhat curtailed of late by the
prevailing high price of rubber, which has
varied within year from twenty to sixty
cents per pound. The demand, however,
is very large A species of rubbershoe
liced with flannel is extensively used in
some parts of the country as substitute
for the leathern shoe Jour Of Commerce.
