Paper from BasswOoa.

The Albany Evening Journal, of the 2lst
May, comes to us printed on paper made en-
tirely from Basswoodl 1t is nearly equal to
the best paper used for newspapers. 1t is a
little darker than the paper on which the Lea
der is printed, but far stronger, being more
than equal to English linen paper. 1t can be
written on with common ink without blotting or
running" The slight dlscOlOratioD is attrib.
uted to the impure Albany water used in its
preparation, as was demonstrated by the per
feet whitsness of parcels made by filtered wa
ter. Mr. Beardslee has msde it for every de-
gree of fexibility and 6neness. Indeed, no
end can be attained with cotton and linen rags.
in the manufacture Of paper, which cannot be
reached by wood pulp.
The inventor finds by experiments, that
white wood, spruce, buckley, pine, cedar and
hemlock, answer about as we'll as Eastwood
for paper making. And We understand, paper
can be produced from this material for little
more than half the cost of cotton rags-a result
which will be hailed BY the entire press Of the
Continent The cost Of paper is the heaviest
item in printers bills.
Mr.. B., says the Journal, has closed his ex-
periments, and has reached results which fully
Justify him in Immediately entering upon the
manufacture of the article for market. We
hail his process with delight.
We omitted to say that the present wood
paper on which the Journal is printed, is far
superior to that on which it first appeared a
few months since.-[Clev. Leader.

What is a Blush.

What is a blush? Il is an act Of the heart
in its extreme rami6cations, ibe capiIl aries.-
These small vessels become distended and Gil
with blood, and the face and the neck become
red with the increased quantity Of the vital
fluid seen through the transparent skin. What
occasions this? An emotion Of the brain, you
say. The eye of the modest young woman
sees the form, or her ears hear the oice Of
some interesting youth who is approaching or
close at hand, and her mother or her aunt
gives her a wink, and her young female friend
gives her humorous caution, and behold in a
moment her face hushes, and perhaps she even
runs away to hide her emotion and the young
man imagnes be is avoided. 1t was the brain
that did it all, was il? Truly. without brain
she could not have been 90 affected, but neith-
er would she have been so affected without
eyes or ears. And yet no one AYERS that the
eyes and he ears are the seats OF emotion
The direCt,agent in blushing is the bloOd in the
heart-.he liquid of the heart, as all the blood
vessels are merely its branches and its twigs.
The heart also palpitates with emotion-the
pulse is affected directly by our feelings The
heart even bursts with grief as the food rush
es forcibly back upon it under the influence of
excitement. Fear exhibits itself in paleness,
or deficiency of blood in the capillaries; rage
exhibits itself in reduess or a rushing of agita-
ted blood into them. In extreme cases il a.
mounts even to blaekness. The veins and the
arteries swell or shrink with emotion, the pulse
tells the condition of the body as well as Of the
mind. A fevered body and fevered mind will
both quicken it; and tranquility is exhibited in
the slow and the regular beat Of the pendulum
of lh. 1t is mysterious relationship that
subsists between the feelings and the blood;
but it is quite as Ineligible as that which sub
sists between the feelings and the brain, and
no chronological science will ever falsi(y the d.
rect and instantaneous exhibition Of the feel
ings, the emotions, and the passions in the
heart. For this heart, be it remembered, is
omuipresent in the bsdy. There is not spot
where it is not. 1t has its center in the chest,
but its center only; the arteries and the veins
are as much part Of the heart as the branches
are of tree, AID they possess all its clasping
properties. 1t therefore fills the body and the
brain also, and is the mysterious well-source Of
that life which is independent Of our will, and
therefore controls and masters US, as passions
all naturally do.
