concluded that "my wiie's cousin"
the locksmith and bell-hangor, was n
wise man, and that unwittingly he had
discovered the true philosophers stone.
Daily work was to him as necessary
as his daily bread, and the toll of the
shop only served to enhance the pleas
ures and recreations of a refined and
hapoy home. On taking lny leave, l
realized that l had been taught q val

UIah---SaIt Lake,

A letter to tie st. Louis Republi-
can, from Salt Lake, dated on the 18th
ult., gives the following items of in
telligence:
The population of Salt Lake City
is about twelve or fifteen thousand,
and the population of the valley is
variously estimated, but is probably
fifty thousand.
The presence of the army, the
throng Of persons coming in from al.
most num5erless trains, has almost, so
lar as the eye can detect, dissipated
that exclusiveness which formerly at
tached to the social economy Of this
valley. The Gentle, with that free
dom Of manner which is ever charac-
teristic Of the American citizen, ira
verses the streets and valleys untram-
meled and conscious Of his rights
Like Rob Roy, he breathes and feels
that his "toot is On his native heath"
upon his own territory.
The people OF this territory were
never in more prosperous condition
everything they can raise finds a rea
dy market, and that, too, for cash.
Contact, business and the purse, have
in a measure weakened the chain Of
fanaiicism, and the manacles are
dropping from many independent
spirits, who only wanted a chance Or
opportunity. They perceive that theil
social organization, oven sanctioned
by the church, does not advance their
personal fortunes as an exclusive in,
stitution, and is therefore fast crumb-
ling away by more liberal spirit,
goadod on by that handspring OF hui
man action, self-interest. The people
of this valley are by no means lnsen-
sible of this innate feeling.

LOOhing-GIasseS-HOw they are
Manufactured.

The process is one of the most cu.
rious of the modern arts, and is an ex-
tremely simple one. A sheet of TIM
foil, somewhat larger than the glass
plate, is laid upon a smooth table,
and quicksilver poured over it until
the foil Is covered with thickness
of a tenth of an inch or more. All
impurities being swept off the sur
taco of the murcury, and the glass
plate made scrupulously clean, it is
brought even with the edge Of the
table, and pushed gently forward
sideways, so as to slide yer the mer-
curry bath, its edge just dipping be-
meath its surface, so as to push before
it all impurities, and SO exclude all
air-bubbles. Weights are then eyen-
ly applied to the glass, and the whole
table inclined to such an angle as to
favor the drawing of of the superAu-
Gus mercury. This requires some
days or weeks, according to the size
of the plate. There is constant risk
in the whole process, even when the
gratest care is practiced. The larger
the glass the greater the danger Of
breakage and imperfections. Some
times the amalgam crystalizes, pro-
ducing flaws, which require the ope,
ration to be repeated. 1t is these
causes which make large mirrors 90
very costly. In addition to This, high
wages must be paid to the workmen
as the mercury prodHAea. salvation.

Elsie waits for me in heaven
Gathering flowers alone!

Cab! Cab! Cab!

One of the library societies of Yale
College sent a circular lately to nu-
merous gentlemen, and among others
to HoEATIo HUBBELL, Esq, of Phila-
delphia, asking for a donation to aid in
paying off a debt which had been con-
tracted in the erection of a new hall.
1t was stated in the circular that one
ofthe objects Of the society was to en-
courage Cxtempore speaking. This
last Mr.. Hubbell could not stand, and
he sent a very pointed reply, denoun-
cling the inclination that pervades all
our schools and public places for ox-
tempore speaking. His feelings may
be gathered from the following para
graph clipped from his letter.
"And that these windy sons Of Ko-
lus, under supposed inspiration, arc
bowling like midnight wolves, from
one end of the continent to the other,
"Clan.or i6at ad c9ium" 1t is the
fatal epidemic of republics. Wha

tionized Romeo Cab! What anarch

member this Union? Cab! This eter.
nal propensity of Cabling, upon al
occasions and at all times, is the curse
Of our county,"

FADELESs Is A LOVING HEART.

Sunny eyes may lose their brightness;
NimbIe leet forget their Iightness;
Pearly teeth may know decay;
Raven tresses turn 10 gray;
Cheeks BE- pale and eyes be dim;
Faint the voice anu weak the limb;
But though youth aud strength depart,
Fadeless is loving heart.
Like the little mountain flower,
Peeping forth in wintry hour,
When the summers breath is fled,
And the gaudier aoweretS dead;
So when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still doth blossom on,
Despite Times destroying dart,
The gentle, kindly, loving heart. -
Wealth and talents will avail,
When in life's rough sea we sail;
Yet the wealth may melt like snow,
And the wit no longer glow;
But more smooth we'll find the sea,
And our course the faiIer be,
If our pilot, when we start,
Be kindly, loving heart.
Ye in worldly wisdom old
Ye who bend the knee to gold,
Doth this earth as lovely seem
AS it did in life's young dream,
Ere the world had crusted DER
Feelings good aud pure before
Ere ye sold at Mammon's mart,
The best yeamings Of the heart7
Grant me, Heaven, my earnest prayer
Whether life Of ease or care
Be the one to me assigned,
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words,
Twined within my bosom's chords,
And that age may but impart
Ripper freshness to my heart,
