LIFE ma powDER-m1L1.

Dickens thus describes visit to the
powder-miIl Of HounsIow, near London:
In this silent region, amid whose
ninety-seven work places no human
voice ever breaks upon the ear, and
where indeed no human form is seen
except in the isolated house in which
his allotted task is performed, there
are upward of two hundred and fifty
workmen employed. They are a
peculiar race, not of course by nature,
in most cases, but by the habit of years.
The circumstances of momentary des-
truction in which they live, added to
the most stringent and necessary
regulations, have subdued their minds
and their feelings to the condition Of
their hire. There is seldom any need
to enforce these regulations. Some
terrific explosion here, or in works Of
similar kind elsewhere, leaves fixed
mark in their memories, as acts as a
constant warming. Here no shadows
Oh pEdChCdt IOkc Oi Cdp0T OF animal
spirits ever transpires, no witticism,
no chatting, Or slang.
Al laugh is never heard, a smile
seldom seen. Even the work is carried
on by the men with as few words as
possible, and these uttered it a low
tone. Not that any body fancies thai
mere sound win awaken the spirit Of
combustion or cause an explosion to
take place, but that their feelings are
always kept subducd. IF one man
wishes to communicate one thing to
another, Oraslk for any thing from some
body at a short distance, he must PC
there; he is never permitted to shout
or call out. There is a particular
reason for this last regulations Amid

SYDNEY SMITHS eENEaOsrrY.

The following is a beautiful instance
ofthe generosity Of that noble hearted
man, Sydney Smith:
A perquisite Of the chapter of st.
PauPs, the living of Edmonton, worth
seven hundred pounds a year, fell to
his share on the death of his associate,
Mr.. Tate. According to the usage in
such matters, it was expected that he
would turn the emoIument to his own
advantage. He generously conferred
the whole on the son of the lateincum-
bent. The incident is so characters
tically narrated By him, in a letter adj
dressed to his wife, that it would be
injustice to the reader not to present
the scene in his own words: 81 went
over yesterday, to the Tates at Edmon-
ton. The family consists of three
delicate daughters, an aunt, the old
lady, and her son, the curate of Ed
monton. The old lady was in bed
| found there a physician, an old friend
of Tate's, attending them from friend
ship, who had come from London for
that purpose. They were in daily ex-
pectation Of being turned out from
house and curacy. I began
by inquiring the character of their
servant; then turned the conversation
upon their affairs, and expressed a
hope the chapter might ultimately do
something for them. | then said, 1t
lis my duty to state to you They were
all assembled that I have given away
the living at Edmonton, and have
written to our chapter clerk this morn
ing to mention the person to whom I
have given it; and | must also tell you
that | am sure he will appoint his
curate. "a general silence and dejec-
ton. 1t is very odd coincidence, /
added, that the gentleman / have
selected is namesake of this family;
his name is Tate. Have you any re-
lations of that name?' No, we have
not. And, by a more singular coinci-
dence, his name is Thomas Tate; in
short, / added, there is no use in
mincing the matter--you are vicar Of
Edmonton. They all burst into tears
1t flung me, also, into a great agita-
ton Of tears, andI wept and groaned
for a long time. Then / rose, and
said 1 thought it was very likely to end
in their keeping buggy, at which We
all laughed as violently"

rHE SPICE OF TRAVEL.

Often consists IN its anecdotes, which
are rather contraband Of sober agricul-
tural letters. Nevertheless, I have
determined to step aside a moment,
for the purpose of letting a little secret
party ont, and thus getting a taste Of
the forbidden condiment. The scene
was one of our principal Kentucky

piled the gentleman, expecting nothing
less than thank'ee. Seeing no car
pet, no mirror, no table, or convent
.ences of any kind but two or three
hard settees and Windsor chairs, the
lady stopped suddenly at the door

surprise and incredulity softening to
a. smile. fsYes, madam, that isaH the

but the smile which accompanied them
was so sweet and arch withal, and tho
whole manner of the lady SO unex-
ceptionable, that the President Joined
in a laugh at his own expense, and
soon after, with his accustomed gal
lantry, took pleasure in showing her to
the car in which she was to ride. Tho
next morning, as early as it was gem
teel to go shopping, he was down
town after carpet, a looking glass,
and other suitabilities for a ladies' par

afterwards, had the Hoosier LADY re-
turned, she would hare been struck
with the sudden metamorphosis, and
found things very much to her liking,

This arr was carried about wher-

ArEcDOrEs OF AvARIcs.

In DR.. Kings Anecdotes ofhis Own
Times, we find the following:
Ny Lord Harwich, the late nord
Chancellor, who IS said to-be worth
$800,000, sets the same Value.on half
a crown now as be did when he was
only worth 9100. That great captain,
the Duke of Marlborough, when he
was in the last stage of Life, and very
infrm, would walk from the public
room in Bath to his lodgings, on a cold,
dark night, to save sixpense in chair
hire. IF the Duke, who left, at his
death, more than a million and half
sterling, could have foreseen that all
his wealth and honors were to be in
herited by grandson of my Lord
IIreyor's, who had been one of his
enemies, would be have always saved
a sixpense?
Sir James Lowther, after changing
piece of silver in Georges coffee
house, and paying for his dish Of coffee,
was helped into his chariot, for he
was lame and infrm, and went home.
Some time after, be returned to the
same coffee-house on purpose to ac-
quaint the woman who kept It that she
had given him bad half-penny, and
demanded another in exchange for it.
/ Sir James had about 948,0O0 per
annum, and was at a loss whom to
1appoint his heir. ] know one Sir
Thomas Colby, who lived in Kensing-
lton, and was, I think, in the Victualing
| office; he killed himself by rising in
the middle of the night, when he was
lin proflse sweat, the effect Of a
medicine which he had taken for that
purpose, and walking down stairs to
Hook for the key of his cellar, which
he had Inadvertently left on a table in
his parlor; he was apprehensive that
his servants might seize the key, and
: rob him of a bottle Of port wine. This
man died intestate, and left more than
e1 100000 in the funds, which were
shared among five or six day laborers,
who we're his nearest relations.
Sir William Smythe, of Bedford
shire, w~s one of my own kinsmen.-
When he was near seventy he was
wholly deprived of his sight; he was
persuaded to be couched by Taylor,
the oculist, who, by agreement, was to
have sixty guineas, if he restored his
patient to any degree of sight. Taylor
succeeded in his operation, and Sir
William was able to read and write
without the use of his spectacles during
the rest of his life; but as soon as the
operation was performed, and Sir
+ William saw the good effect of it, in
stead of being overjoyed as any other
person would have been, he began to
lament the loss, as he called it, Of his
sixty guineas. His contrivance was,
therefore, how to cheat the oculist; he
pretended he could not see any thing
! perfectly; for that reason the bandage
on his eye was continued a month
; longer than the usual time. By this
! means he obliged Taylor to compound
the bargain, and accept of twenty
, guineas; for covetous man thinks ne
method dishonest which he may legal
: ly practice to save his money.

COMPLIMENT 70 ..JouR. pRrrrERs. .

I John G. Rives, in a recently pub
lished letter, on the subject of public
printing, has a word of suggestion to
writer's for the press, and of compli-
ment to the "jour." whose duty it not
unfrequently is to make sense out of
very senseless chirography. None
but writer for the daily press, can
comprehend how much truth there is
in the veteran printers remark. Many
members of Congress, and exc not a
few greater men, must have been sur
prised at the respectable figure they
cut in print, without thinking of the
toilsOme labor, and the exercise of
better talent than their own, which
had been expended by the "jour." /"
printer, in licking into shape the mes
sage, report or speech furnished by
them. Mr.. Riyes says:
''I have seen the manuscript writing
Of most great men of the country
during the past twenty years, and I
think | may say, that no twenty of
them could stand the test of the
scrutiny of ono-half of the journey
men printers employed in my Office.
seThis fact will be vouched by every
editor in the Union. To the poor
'Jour." many sgreat man" owes his
reputation for scholarship, and were
the humble type-stickers to resolve,
by concert, to set up manuscript in
their hands, for even one little week,
precisely as it is written by the authors,
there would be morereputations slaugh-
tered than their devils could shake a
stick at in twenty-four hours. Estates
men'' would become "small by degrees
and beautifully less.'' Many an ass
would have the lions hide torn from
his limbs. Men whom the world called
writer's, would wake up of mornings
and find Observation-Disclosures as mere
umbugs-cheats."
