mantle interest combine to make one Of the
most attractive books of the season. The
leading facts in regard to Henry Sth and his

sented with such minute detail and craphir
description as 10 invest them with a fresh and

Sharpe's Rifles.

The follow account of Sharpe's rifles, from
the Missouri Democrat, will be read with in
terest at the present moment:
This recently invented weapon, if it possess
set one-half of the power and capacity claimed
for it by the proprietor, is destined soon to su-
persede every other weapon of warlike purpcl-
ses now in existence. 1t is the most effcacious
and terrible frearm in existence. The small
carbine now used by the United States mounted
men throws ball with deadly accuracy one
qnarter of a mile, and can be fired ten times
per minute. 1t is not complicated in structure
Is easily cleaned, and suffers no injury from
wet weather. Mr.. Sharpe is now preparing
namely: A small pocket-pistol, calcula ted TO
throw Minnie ball one hundred yards; cav
airy postol with a range of five hundred yards;
rifle suitable to footmen, with a range of one
mile and large gun to throw a two-ounce ball
or shell one mile and half, or as far as a
man or horse can be seen to advantage. With
this latter weapon Mr. s. declares he can set
on fire house or ship at a distance of nearly
two miles, and prevent the use of field artii-
lery, by killing the horses before the guns are
brought within good range
"This rifle in the hands OF good marksman,
is equal to ten muskets, bayonets and all, for,
place a man six rods distant with musket
and bayonet, and before he can bring the bayo-
net into use, the rifle can be loaded and dis.
charged ten times. They carry balls with
great precision and force. Mr.. Sharpe intends
these rifles to become national weapons, and
should Congress, by using a little lberality
purchase the patent, the country would be pos.
sessed OF means of warfare unequaled in the
World.'

There is a paper-mill, where, if we go In we
can see old shirts and other articles "gone to
rags " slowly become pulp; which passing in
at one end of the room becomes at the other,
fine white book-paper, cut ana ready for pack
ing. 1t was here, at Curtis & Brothers mill,
that the paper was made, on which Lipplncott
& Cos celebrated edition of Waverly novels is
printed. There is also a woollen-mill very
near; and two miles below, cotton factory,
which, however, at present, is not working or
der-being but four walls, the rest having been
food for fire. To the south of the village stands
old Iron Hill From this high ground can be
seen the Delaware River, fifteen miles off,
bearing on its bosom the snowy winged barks.
Old Iron Hill, rising so suddenly from the level
plain, has been more than it now is. At its
base are rocks which are volcanic; and who
knows but the primeval forests have echoed the
voices of this roaring crater, and have beheld
the flames rushing from the furnaces OF interior
earth 1t isquiet now; voices have been upon
its summit, but they are the whispering Of the
reeS to the zephyr as, Adonis-like, they flee
rom their embraces.
To the north of Newark, is a spa SPRING
The bubbling water is covered by shed, OF
which name after name has been cut and carv

well-known Brandywine Springs
But must be brief; the colege-bell tell
me, evening has come and must home. Oh
Newark there is something new about thee
though few have the interest to search for it,
We love the past, but in these days of progress
we must anticipate the future. 1t is hot, wha

Gentlemen, shuddered as l beheld the horri-

paper declaring the Union dissolved! J"
81 answered in the affirmative. YES

sign my name to Declaration of Dissolution. ;
But at that moment black blotch appeared on
the back of my hand, an inky blotch, which l
seem to see even now. What is that 2 said l.,
alarmed. knew not why, at the blotch on my
hand.
"That," said he, dropping my hand, SIS the
mark by which Benedict Arnold is known in
the next world"
"He said no more, gentlemen, but drew
from beneath his cloak an object which he laid
upon the table-laid it upon the very paper on
which was writing. That object, gentlemen,
was a skeleton.
"There," said he, " there are the bones Of
Isaac Hayne, who was hung at Charleston by
the British. He gave his life in order to estab
lsh the Union. When you put your name tc
a Declaration of Dissolution, why you may al
well have the bones of Isaac Hayne before you
he was South Carolinian, and so are you.-
But there was no blotch on his right hand"
with these words the intruder left thu
room. | started back from the contact with thu
dead mans bones, and-awoke. Overworn b.

All the company answered in the affirmative

back of his right hand, while Mr.. Calhoun

am almost daily asked, What good has the
Prohibitory Law done! l reply, that we have
been deprived of nothing in truth-virtue,
peace, wealth, health, and prosperity. Have
we not achieved great triumphi Let every
man and woman OF sane mind, bond or free,
unlettered and enlightened, look at the crime,
misery and human degradation, which ferment-
ed and distilled liquors, as a beverage, pro-
duced among us before the Prohibitory Law
Yves in existence, and then view the pleasant
healthful influences of temperance, already
wrought by it, and then say it the law has moi
proved blessing!
What is the present condition of this little
State of the Union! Quictude and tranquility
| If the law has not already been somewhat bene
fetal in checking the use of the fluid mon
ster, which produces intellectual, moral, physi
cal and domestic evils, and placed us as being
uuon more exalted station than we were pre-
yious to its passage-I say, what good have W
gained!
The law is founded upon justice and human
ty. Why Because the moral code of insp
ration teaches us to "abstain from all appeal
1 ance of evil" And is not drunkenness an evil
Surely il is No drunkard can prosper in tn

intoxicating liquors, evil is not only avoide

When joined in friendship and affection,
How painful tits to have to part!
How fast then crowds the recollection,
And grief sits heavy on the heart!
Twas thus, fair one, we separated,
Although we had as strangers met;
In friendship we were now related,
And never can thee forget.
A few short days we spent together.
And loved each others company
Then parted, and perhaps forever;
Each other never more to see.
l took her hand and gently prest it,
And sweetly did she say " Farewell -
My heart was sad, for there oppressed it,
A something which cannot tell.
Perhaps never more may see her,
And soon she may have me forgot -
But, ah while life lasts will ne'er-
I'll ne'er forget thee, MARY ScorT.
