A New PRocEss-A Western correspondent,
who avows himself to have been incited to exer.
ton by the success of the Hen Persuader," has
invented "Mortar and Plaster Mixing Ma.
chine" which we think must come in general
use. 1t is very simple so are all great inven.
tions. The plan, briefly stated, is as follows
"First procure common mortar bed: put in
the component parts, such as are generally used /;
then add little corn, the quantity of which is
to be graduated by the quantity Of mortor or
plaster to he made. Then turn ina fewswfne; {;
and by the time the corn is gone, the mortar will
be ready for use. In making plaster, the swine
should stay in over night to allow time for re-
moving the hair, which the lime will accom-.
plish thus saving the expense of purchasing
that article. The swine can then be removed
and slaughtered, without the expense Of sera-
ping; thus, together with the labor of mixing,
saving at least one third the cost Of the old plan"
How this may strike sculptors, masons, lath and
plasterefs, and others interested in plaster, NOR
tar, etc.. we Of course cannot say but to US, the
invention seems quite feasible one.-Knicke'.

RACE BETWEEN A Horse AND LOCOMOTIVE.
4 novel race took place at St. Thomas on ues-
day last between blooded race horse and a
locomotive. The horse il decided to be very
fast nag, and so is the locomotive, and both

the horse should be at his starting place when
the locomotive came up even, and the word
"go" should be given, when away they went
under whip and steam The judges declared
the horse the winner by one-half lcpgth. The
bet was $50a side, and the distance eighty

KILLED DY 4 RATTLEsSAXI.-On Monday
morning last, about 10 o'clock, two children of
Dr.. A. NJ. Dignowitty, who lives in the suburbs
of our city, were playing together few yards
from the door, when rattlesnake crawled up
unobserved and bit the little boy on his foot, who
was at the time kneeling down. Feeling some
thing pricking his foot behind him, lie thought
there was thorn in it, and told his sister to go
behind him and Take it away. She started todo
so, and discovered large rattlesnake coiled up
near her brother. With noble courage the little
girl seized stick and struck the snake, but in
doing so she was bit upon her leg. An elder
brother Immediately ran for his parents, who
we're at the house of neighbor, half a mile
distant. The parents soon arrived, but with all
their efforts it was impossible to save the life of
the little girl, who was probably wounded in a
blood vessel; she died about four o'clock in the
evening. The little boy is still sick from the
bite, but will recover. The little girl was some
four years old, and the boy year or two older.
This should put parents on their guard about
allowing their children to play in the weeds and
grass about the Yard" =: 4" IL" H.,''' an:

For the Advertiser.
NY MOTHER.

Thine eye they say is growing dim,
Alaa! mark that too:
Thy step has lost its brightness now,
And silYery locks twine o'sr thy brow.
Thy feoLle voice so low, and sweet
Falls sadly on my ear,
And oft the smile which wrsathcs ny lips
But hideI the unshed tear
My roul is filed with care, and gloom,
To zee thee faltcring towards tho tomb.
Ny mother dear With reverence deep,
Oh! let mo breathe thy namo,
Swestcr that simple word to mo,
Than richest moed of fame;
For angels taught my lips to aay
That halloued namo I breathe to day.
Not many years my life has known,
But grief, the dark, the drear,
IIas been the only heritage
Beaueathed to me while hero
But one for me did'st ever pray,
And taught my feet the "narrow way"
Oh, mother, mother, can it bo
That thou, and must psrt'
cannot bear To give thee up,
I feel 'twould break my heart
Deny me every earthly blita,
But Father apare, oh spare me this!
Ihe,r Deaths watchdog ceasolessly
Bay in thy aching breast,
And know it would be well for thee
To lay thee down and rest,
And wake in Heaven, puro, undefled--
But who would cheer thy orphan childS
I foel-I know the hour must come,
When thou muSt say good bye
To all the scenes thou lowest we'll,
Beneath the sod TO lie
And in my grief breathe the prayer,
That may lay beside thee there.
For mother, thou'rt my all on oarth,
And oh when thou art gone,
Thy youngest child, thy helpless one
Must tread life's paths alone.
Ahd there'll be none to cheer my heart,
Or bid it's darksome gloom depart.
Whose hand would press my fsrered palm,
Whose heart beat but for mo,
A voice within me whispers none,
For have none but thee.
I feel If thou vert called above,
I could not live without thy love.
Though dark my fate to some may seem
Twas not all dark to me,
For ever in lifs's wintry storm,
still could turn to thee.
And whom in troubles hour came,
Thy dear lips found no word Of blamo.
How often in the starlesl night
I knolt me At thy knee,
And heard tho gently whispered words,
You breathed in prayer for me.
Oh what beneath those realms above
II holicr than n,otker's lore
One eye In me could see no fault,
Hove'er might have erred,
And by ono faithful ear, my praise
With joy was ever heard.
One heart doth over beat with mine,
Ny angel-mothcr--it Is thine.
The fate that hath donicd me muoh,
Gave mo a mothers lore,
feel it was the richest gift
Sent from yon hOarcn above
And oh ! if e'er gave thee care,
Forgive it for the love I bear.
Then angels do not call her yet
To ope' the pearly gnte,
And leave me orphaned in my youth,
Too bitter wore the fste.
Or if her doom be fixed, pray
ne'er nay live to see that day.
Ny mothers love is all have,
Oh! do not u, divide;
But let me, when che sleeps in death,
Sleep peaceful at her side
For can never find another,
Who'll love mo like my saintod mother.
Then spare her kind, and pitying heaven,
Thy shining courts are God,
BY angels who resembled her
Ere they werc called to God.
Their miraias darken land and ses,
Dut earth has only ono far me"

ASEcDoTE OF METHUsELAH.-It is written in
a quaint old Jewish manuscript now in the Brit.
ish museum, that the Oldest of mankind, Methu::
selah, did not live as long as he might have done
The writer says God promised him in dream,
that if he would rise up and build him a house,
his life should be prolonged FIVE hundred years,
but he replied that it was not worth while to
build house for that short period and so he
died before he was thousand years old.
