Death Of a Notable Man.

Thomas Dowsc, tanner, of Cambridge,
Mass, died on Tuesday, at the age of
more than eighty years. Mr.. Dowse was
a remarkable character. Bred TO the bu-
siness of tanner, and occupied with il
till near the close of his life, ne cultivated
Il taste for literature and art, and accom-
plished himself in an eminent degree in
various branches of polite learning. His
library was, perhaps, the most miscella-
neous one in the vicinity of Boston. 10
English literature it could boast all the
finest, as well as the rarest editions of the
best authors. Its value was not less than
100000, and may have equalled $40, 900.
A few weeks ago, in anticipation Of his
death, he conveyed it entire to the Mas
sachusetts Historical Society, which has
decided to appropriate suite Of rooms
exclusively to its reception. His admira-
be collection of paintings in water colors
has probably been left to some public IN
stituton. Mr.. Dowse's name was writ
ten, by the irreverent Harvard collegians,
Thomas Dowse, LII. d., which was held
to mean learned leather dresser. Har-
ward missed getting his library, which it
was at one period believed would be adj
ded to its riches in this line. Mr.. Dowse
was in all respects most excellent man,
a good tanner, and a weII-read student Of
literature.

Ocean Tcicgraph-I.ieu Rerry-
mans Report.

Lieut.. Bergman, who was sent out by
the Navy Department, in the ship Arctic,
to ascertain the depth, by sounding, from
Newfoundland to Ireland, with reference
to the practicability of submarine tcle-
graph, has submitted his report, together
with the maps and charts to the Navy
Department, which will be published in
the reports accompanying the Secretary's
Annual Report. II is very brief and to
the point. He starts out by making
soundings every thirty or forty miles,
varying from one hundred fathoms to two
thousand and seventy-fve fathoms; no
place beyond the latter fgure-that being
The deepest point. In almos, every sound
ing he brought up various kinds of Curl
osiiies, such as shells of every descrip-
ton, gravel, quantities of mud &C., all of
which have been deposited in the Smith
sonian Institution.
On his return he made the same ex-
Perlments OF soundngs with the same
s'ccoss. Nowhere did he find any OBJ
structions or imediments in the way, and
establishes clearly and conclusively, and
beyond the shadow of doubt, in his
Judgment, the practicnbility and feasibility
of the submarine telegraph between those
two points. | understand that the whole
thing can be accomplished in ten days af-
ter everything is in readiness. During
the month of July, in his judgment, is the
time it should be done. He further saws
that the wires would sink down into soft
muddy bottom, and that nothing could pos
sibly interfere with them This settles
beyond all question the practicability of
connecting the two continents by a sub
murine telegraph.

Heinrich FIeine's Opinion of
London.

81 have seen the greatest wonder which
the world can show to the astonished
spirit; | have seen it, and am still aston
ishcd--and still there remains fixed in
my memory the stone forest of houses,
and amid them the rushing stream of
faces Of living men with all their motley
passions, all their terrible impulses of love
hunger and hatred-I mean London.
Send a philosopher TO London, but for
your life, no poet! Send philosopher
there, and stand him at the corner of
Cheapside, where he will learn more than
from all the books of the last Leipsio fair;
and as the pillows of human life roar
around him, 50 will sea of new thoughts
rise before linn, and the Eternal Spirit
which moves upon the face of the waters
will breathe upon him; the most hidden
secrets of social harmony will be sudden
ly revealed to him; he will hear the pulse
of the world beat audibly, and see it visi-
bly--for, if London is the right hand Of
the world-its active, mighty right hand
then we may regard the route which leads
from the Exchange to Downing street as
the worlds pyloric artery. But never
send poet to London! This downright
.earnestness of all things, this colossal
uniformity. this machine-like movement,
this troubled spirit in pleasure itself, this
exaggerated London, smothers the ina
gination and rends the heart. And should
you ever send a German poet thither-a
dreamer, who stares at everything, even
raggar beggar woman, or the shining
wares Of goldsmth's shoP-why, then,
at least, he will find things going right
badly with him"

worth and several particular friends used
TO resort. One afternoon the liquor was
Super-eXcellent. Woodwork seemed in
spired by it; for, after taking a draught,
he set his glass upon the table, and smack
ing his lips, declared that Malory's ea,
de ne was superior to any that he had
ever tasted. mo" said Mallory, .'you
are mistaken, there wus one which, in
both our estimations, far surpassed this in
the way of drinking" "What was that Z"
asked Woodwork, obviously. "The
draughts of pure, fresh spring water that
we used to drink in the old oaken bucket
that hung in the well, after our return
from the labors of the field on a sutry
day in summer" The tcar.drop glisten-
ed for n moment in Woodworth's eve.
True, true," lie replied, and shortly after
quilted the place. lie Immediately re-
turned to the Office, grasped a pen, and in
half an hour the "Old Oaken Bucket"
one of the most delightful compositions in
our language, was ready in manuscript to
be embalmed in the memories of sue
ceeding generations.

Cotton Machinery.

OF the rapidly with which some por.
tions of the machinery employed in the
manufacture of cotton operate, some idea
may he formed from the fact that the very
finest thread which is used in making
lace, is passed through the strong fame Of
a lamp, which burns of the fibers without
burning the thread itself The activity
with which the thread moves is so great,
that il canno, be perceived, with the un-
aided eye, that there is any motion at all
the line of thread, passing off wheel
through the fame, booking as if it were
perfectly At rest.

a WOnlan's smile.

One Of our exchanges, the editor of
which has evidently been warming hun
self in the sunshine of pretty face, he's
tho following: ~ beautiful smile is to
the female countenance what the sun
beam is 10 the landscape it enbellishes
an inferior face and redeems an ugly one.
A smile, however, should not become
habitual, or insipidity is the result; nor
should the mouth break into a smile on
one side, the other remaining passive and
unmoycd, for this imparts an air of de-
ceitful grotesqucness to the face. A dis
agreeable smile dis,orts the line Of beauty,
and is more repulsive than frow::!.
There are many kinds Of smiles, each
having a distinctive charactcr-some an
nounce goodness and sweetness, others
betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride
some soften the counienance by their lam
gushing tenderness, others brighten it by
their brilliant and spiritual viyaciIy. Ga
zing and poring 'over a mirror cannot aid
in acquiring beautiful smiles half so wei
as to turn the gaze inward, TO watch lha
the heart keeps unsulied from the reAec
ton of evil, and is illumined and beauti
fed by all sweet lhrobs."

POETRY.
This world Would he n Happy
World.
ny JOHN PARKER.

This world would be happy world,
Would all men think alike;
Would sects and parties throw away
Their bitterness and spite;
Would they but quit their strife of creeds
And try which could be best,
Dihhse abroad those noble deeds
BY which mankind are blest.
This world would be happy world
Had kings the power no more
To drcnch this beaulcous earth of ours
In pools of human gore;
Had proud ambition to submit
To arbitration's rule,
And glory's gilded toys be thought
The playthings of fool.
This world would be happy world
If men were iustcr grown,
Not seeking to raise up themselves
BY crushing others down;
We're all content by honest means
To live and get along,
There'd be an end to fraud and guile.
To villainy and wrong.
This world would be happy world,
A scene of Joy and bliss,
Did generous feeling sway mankind,
Free from all selfshness:
Were man to man more firmly bound
BY sympathy's bright chain,
Oh then our glorious world would be
4 paradise again!

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Turn Of Life.

Between the years of forty and sixty, a
man who has properly regulated himself,
may be considered as in the prime of
life. Hism matured strength of constitution
renders him almost impervious to the at
tack of disease, and experience has given
soundness to his judgment. His mind is
resolute, firm and equal; all his func-
tions are in the highest order; he as
sllmes the mastery over business builds
up a competence on the foundation he has
formed in early manhood, and passes
through period of life attended by many
qualifications. Having gone a year or
two past sixty, he arrives at critical Pc
riod in the road of existence; the river of
death flows before him, and he remains
at a stand-still. But athwart this river is
viaduct, called "The Turn of Life"
which, if crossed in safety, leads TO the
valley of "old age" round which the river
winds, and then flows beyond without
boat or causeway to obstruct its passage.
The bridge is constructed of fragile
materials, and it depends upon how it is
trodden whether it bend or break. Gout,
apoplexy, and other bad characters, are
also in the vicinity to waylay the traveller,
and thrust him from the pass; but let him
grid up his loins, and provide himself
with fitting staff, and he may trudge on
in safety with perfect composure. To
quit metaphor, "Thc Turn Of Life" is
turn either into a prolonged walk or into
the grave. The system and powers hav-
ing reached their utmost expansion, now
begin either to close like flowers at sun
set or break down at once. One injudi-
cious stimulent, a single fatal excitement,
may force it beyond its strength; while a
careful supply of proppers and the with
drawal Of all that tends to force a plant,
will sustain it in beauty and vigor until
night has entirely set in.
