THE LIBERTY TRFE.
BY THOMAS ISE.
chsrio, of light from the regions Of day.

In chariot of light from the regions Of day.
The Goddess of LIBERTY came,
Ten thousand ceestials directed the way
And hither conducted the dame;
A talr budding branch, from the gardens above,
Where millions with millions agree
She brought in her hand as pledge of her love,
And the plant she called LIBERTY TREE.
The celestial exotic stuck deep in the ground,
Like native it iourished and bore,
The lame ofits fruit, drew the nations al round,
To seek out It's peaceable shore.
Unmindful of name or distinction they came,
For treelnen like brothers agree,
With one spirit endued, they friendship pursued
And their temple was LIBERTY TREE.
Beneath this fair tree like the patriarehs ofold,
Their bread in contentment they ate,
Unvex'd with the troubles of silver gold,
Or the cares of the grand and tke great;
With timber and tar, tney old England supplied
And supported her powers ON the sea,
Her battles lhey fought. without gaining groat,
For the honor of LIBERTY TREE.
But hear, oh yc swain, It's a tale most profane
How ali these tyranical powers
Kings and lords, all unite with their main
To cut down this guardian Of ours,
From the east to the west blow the trumpet to arms
Thro' the land lei the sound of it flee,
Let the far and the near, all ante with a cheer,
In defence of the LIBERTY TREE.

The MATERIAL as THE SPIRITUAL
An afflicted female of Cambridge thus
relates her sad experience to the editor
of the Chronicle at that place
Will you oblige me by inserting this
letter in tie Chronicle. Perhaps thro'
your means some one will aid me in nv
present trying difficulties. Ny husband
has taken spiritual partner" and dis
owns me as his wife. Now, as l do not
wish to be his servant or his housekeep-
er, to keep his wardrobe in exquisite or
der, that he may adorn himself for his
spirit hrid9, wish to know if there is
any law by which l can obtain a d.
vorce. And if there is none, if l can
apply to the Legislature for new one
to suit such aggravated cases as mine.

A Dog Story.

Mr. E. was the happy owner of a
spaniel of the feminine gender, who was
the delight of himself and all the little
Els. Great was their joy when one
day Flora became the happy mother OF
half dozen images of herself. But
their JOY was turned to lamentation,
when, not long after the juvenile ca
mines were missing. "Where are they -
cried father and mother and children,
but the echo only replied by a mourn
full "Where :"
WeeLs passed. Poor Flora still
mourned the loss of all her pretty ones,
and the eyes of the juvenile E.'s were
filled with tears whenever they thought
of their loss. The father, one day,
thought that he would try AMI tempt
the appetites of hi children by some
delicacy which might induce them to
forget their loss. So he brought from
the market a parcel of fresh country
sausages.
"Oh, what very beautiful sausages! !"
exclaimed Mrs f.; where did you get
them, my love p
ooh, what nice sausages!" chimed in
the little Es.
''lt's genuine country sausages, they
are, an no mistake chimed in Biddey,
the cook, into whose charge they were
given. ''They smell like daisies. |
can't bear the city sausages. Nobody
knows what they make 'em of. Bat
hem are sausages fit for the Queen an
all the little princes"
Biddy soon departed to the kitchen,
with special directions as to the cooking
of the sausages. Not long after, she
made her appearance in the parlor in
great perplexity.
II cant think, ma am, what's the mat
ter with Fora; she's been whinin and
erwin as though her heart would break,
ever since the poor puppies - and
here kind Budget S utterance was inter
rupted by sobs. but now she's in the
kitchen jumpin' and friskiu' about like
she was mad with joy
Down to the kitchen rushed Mr.. E.,
Mrs f., the little Els, and Bridget.
"Why, where's Flora !" cried they
all in one breath
"And where's the rest of the sausa-
ges!' screamed Biddy. There were
ten of them I'm sure, for l counted 'em
on the dresser iist before Flora came in
and disturbed me with her joy.
All rushed out to Flora's kennel; and
there they saw the poor spaniel in an
ecstacy of gladness, fondling and nurs-
ing those six missing sau-ages.

HE PHOTo-GALVANoGRAPHIC Pro
cESs-ln one of the series Of articles
cart for the Million" being published
in the Duly Netcs, we find the following
notice of Herr Pretsch's photo-galvano-
graphic process:
He is enabled by chemical means to
impress upon copper the work that the
sun has done by the agency of it, rays,
and thus to perpetuate the effect which
would otherwise have had but a short
existence. The sun, caught and impris-
oned by the agency of the photograph
er does an amount of work which is sur
prising; but if he refuses to give the
stamp of perpetuity to his opeI a
tions, his labors become of less value in
the market Her Pretsch comes in to
help the sun as follows: The sun makes
the portrait or the landscape for him
This being done, Herr Pretsch places
the Photograph taken by the heavenly
artist in close conjunction with glass
plate coated with gelatinous medium.
This is then exposed to the action of
light and the picture is then transformed
to the plate. Up to this point, we have
nothing but the usual Photographic
agency after this the inventor brings
in his chemical skill to operate upon the
plate. The glass reproduction of the
original picture is placed in a chemical
bath, and Il granulated surface of varied
intensity is produced. which is sufficient
" deep to allow of Il mould being taken.
The mould is taken in gutta percha.-
This is non-eonducting substance and
it is necessary, before subjccting it to
the electrotype process, that it should
be made conducting. This is effected
by coating the surface with a bronze
powder. From this gutta percha mould
an impression is taken by the electro
type process in copper. From this i'm
preston a copper plate is taken, from
which other plates are moulded.

y A superior mans last love is bet
ter than his first, for "a man really
worth having is never constant till he
has burned the candle of human enjoy
ment at both ends long enough to un-
derstand how hickering IS its light, and
how soon it burns away into ashes
Then, and not till then, the restless spir-
it seeks sympathy and intercourse with
a kindred spirit, and happy the woman
who can supply that need, for the love
of Ich man is, indeed, the star of his
life, and through storm and through
clouds it still endureth forever"

HAD EN- AT LAST.-A young man
from the "rural districts" went to the
post office the other day, with a bank
note, for a dollars worth of postage
stamps. He was told that paper money
was not received. He went away and
shortly returned with four Spanish quar-
tiers. 1--WE don't receive them now" :"

twenty cents apiece" The countryman
thought Uucle Sam was mighty particu-

on returning to the office, and laying
down his "pilc" at the window of the
delivery, 81 guess | can suit ye." The
man inside looked at the display of
''spece currency" and coolly said, "We
never take more than three cents in cop

q A leopard recently got loose and
Paraded the streets of Calcutta, quietly
wagging It's tail, while down the street,
INTO the bitches, up trees, over walls and
hedges, men and women were scamper-
ing in all possible directions. The beau
tiful little animal sauntered slowly about
till suddenly small drove appeared,
and the leopard now crouched for a
spring at one of them; but before he did
any harm his keeper appeared, and seiz-

SHOCKING. = The Buffalo Courier re.
lates that while the mother of a family
was out procuring some necessaries on
Saturday afternoon, the father towards
evening made some whisky sling, which
he drank freely himself and gave freely
to their two children, who were four and
two years of age, respectively. When
they had become stupified, he put them
to bed on the floor, and left the house.
When the mother returned, she found
the youngest child standing near the
stove crying, while the other was liter
ally roasted to death in the burning bed,
which had probably been set on fire by
embers from the fathers pipe.

BIRTHDAY PRESENT OF TOMBSTONE.

BIRTHDAY PRESENT OF TOMBSTONE
The eccentric Orientalist NJ. Ham
mer Purgstall, who has died recently III
Germany, was exceedingly attached to
his wife, and the whole effort of his
leisure seemed to be the inventing of
agreeable surprises for her, in the way
of gifts, &c. &c. On one of her birth
days, a few years ago, she chanced to
have been confined to her bed for some
time with serious illness, and the fond
husband was evidently puzzled to con-
trive a birthday present suited to her
rather doubtful state of health. A
week before the anniversary came round
however, a bright thought had dawned
upon him, and keeping it profound
secret, he zealously went about its ac-
complishment.
The day dawned, and Madame was
raised in bed and, with great difficulty
some toilette was made which should
Significantly receive the husbands ex-
pected visit The appointed hour SCUM
ded, and the door opened. In came
four men, bearing a heavy burthen
carefully enveloped. 1t was stood on
end, and the bearers were requested to
uncover it, while the eager husbard
looked on with evident expectation of
pleasure The cloths fell awav-and
10 a tombstone, tastefully sculptured,
his wife's name upon it, and only the
date of her death left in blank
And, with this shadow cast before )
of the next coming event which would
probably demand the proof of his assid-
uous tenderness the sweet evidence
that he would not fail in providing the
expected tombstone = Monsieur Ham
me-Purgstall stood waiting for the kiss
of gratitude.
