Ice FROM THE GLOWING CRUCIBLE.-The
article entitled ssTheFirstIdea of Everything, ,"
in our last number, abundantly showed that
there may be, literally and materially, moth
ing new under the suns yet, so many new
facts, principles, and laws, are almost daily
coming to light, that the world is in want of
novelties. Thus, new branch of physics has
of late years been inaugurated by the discov
cry of what is called the spherodidal state of
matter. When we had got as far as steam and
gas, we fancied we had fathomed the uttermost
secrets of nature but now marvels which a
writer of fiction would hardly dare to intro
ducc into fairy tale OF legend, turn out to be
incontestably and demonstraby true. For in
stance, bold Observation-Disclosures people
might call him an Impudent quack-set his
heart on manufacturing lump of ice. And
where does he succeed in making it {? OF all
preposterous places in the world. he produces
it inside glowing crucible standing in heat
ed furnace the heat of the furnace, moreover,
not being the gentle temperature which bakers
use to reduce beef and potatoes to a sayory
dish nicely Drowned and with the gravy in, but
a chemists white heat and the bit of ice, so
turned out, is not a half melted hailstone,
which you would suck with pleasure (if clean)
after summer afternoons thunder storm, but
a diabolical little lump of such intense cold
ness that you~take it to be the concentration
of a whole Russian winter, or an essential ice
drop distilled out of the very n orth ole itself.

THE SOUL.

One thinks the soul is air; another fire
Another. blood diffused about the heart;
Another saith the elements eonspire,
And TO her essence each doth give a part
But, as the sharpest eye discerneth nought,
Except the sunbeams in the air do shine,
So the best soul with her rejecting thought
Sees not herself without some light divine.

The Printing Office has indeed proved
better college to many boy, has graduated
more useful and conspicuous members of So
ciety, has brought more intellect out and turn
ed it into practical useful channels, awakened
more minds, generated more active and eleva-
ted thought than many of the literary collie
ges of the country. The present Governor
of Pennsylvania, VIM. F. Packer, graduated
in what has justly been styled the .'Poor Boys
College, a printing office, as did also our dis
tinguished United States Senator, Simon Cam
eron, and the eminent Pennsylvania Jurst,
Ellis Lewis, besides host of other brilliant
minds whose talents have adorned high posi-
tions in the Cabinet, on the Bench and at the
Bar. A boy who commences in such a school
az the printing office will have his talent and
ideas brought out; and, if he is a careful OBJ
server, experience in his profession will con-
tribute more toward an education than can
be obtained in almost any other manner.

IfAta meeting Of the Kentucky Amer
lean State Committee on Friday, the OBJ,
H. J. Billings, presiding, T. C. Pomeroy
Secretary, the following resolutions were
offered by BlantOn Duncan, Esq, and adopt
ed: N go
RESOLVED. That the dlsorganization of the
Democratic party and the adoption in many
portions Of the country by Republicans Of
more conservative views are haIled by US
as an evidence that the dawn Of bright po-
litical day for the Americans is near at hand.
Regarding as past all danger of a purely
sectional strife, we gladly perceive in the
modification Of Republican party managers
an intention 10 bury the negro question, and
allow some legislation for the benefit OF the
white race. The increasing American SEN
timent encourages us to believe that but
short time will elapse before our party must
be the predominating influence in the nation,
and induces the conviction that nothing is
wanting to give us victory in Kentucky
but through organization and confidence
in our own strength.
Resolved, That a convention shall be
held in the city Of Louisville at III o'clock,
A. NJ, on Tuesday, the 22d Of February,
1859, for the purpose ofselecting candidates
for the State Offices which are to be filled
at the election in August next. -E
Resolred, That all persons hostile TO the
present Administration are hereby cordially
invited to unite with us in presenting tick.
ct which shall receive the hearty support of
all opponents Of the ruinous policy of the
Government.
Resolved, That the basis of representation
shall be the same as that adopted by the last
convention, which fixed the representation
in each county at one delegate for every
hundred Fillmore votes and an additional
delegate for any fraction of fifty votes.
Rssolred, That all the American papers
of the State be requested TO give publicity
10 these resolutions. a }.

Truth is subject which men will not
suffer to grow old. Each age has to fight
with its own falsehoods; each man with his
love of saying to himself and those around
him pleasant things and things serviceabe
for to-day, rather things which are. Yet
child appreciates at once the divine necess-
ity for truth; never asks, "What harm is
there in saying the thing that is not?" and
az old man finds in his growing experience
wider and wider applications of the great
doctrine and discipline Of truth.-[Friends

SUSAN DENIM CAUSES ANOTHER Row.-The Buffalo
Express informs that an affair occurred in that
city on the previous Saturday which caused no little
amusement and scandal 1t seems that well-known
citizen had written letter to Miss Susan DENIM the
actress making insulting propositions and asking for
an interview. Susan gave the letter to her reputed
husband Mr. Huntington, and together they formed
a plan to punish the bold sutor. She answered
the note, and received another from the man. who
subscribed himself Chas. NJ. Watson, appointing a
place of meeting. The meeting took place as ar
ranged and they entered a carriage and proceeded
to another part of the city, followed by Huntington
and some of his friends, in another carriage. Ar
irving at their place of destination Susan got out
with her new acquaintance and introduced her hus-
band, who Immediately Joined them, saying as she
did So that they could settle the affair in their own
way Huntington promptly pitched into " the un-
fortunate intriguer, striking him several times over
the head and face with whip and a regular rough
and-tumble conflict ensued, in which the lover was
worsted. He finally succeeded in getting clear and
made good of his heels leaving behind his horse
buggy, whip and sword,cane. Let us hope that this
triumph of Susan's immaculate virtue may be proper
ly appreciated by the theater-goers of Buffalo.
