BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

Some fifteen years aao, Rev. John N.
Maffit, then in his prime, delivered lee
tureIwhich closed with the following fine
passage:
The PhGnix, tabled bird of antiquity,
when it felt the chill advances of age, built
its own funeral urn and fred its own pyre
by means which natures instinct taught.
All its pumage and its form of beauty
became ashes; but ever would rise the
young, beautiful from the urn Of death and
chambers of decay would the fedgting
come, with its eye turned towards the sun
and essaying its dark velvet wings, and
sprinkled with gold and frienged with sill
yer, on the balmy air, raising little higher,
until at lenghth, in the full confidence of
fight, it gives a cry of joy and soon be-
comes glttering speck in the deep bosom
of the erial ocean. Lovely voyager of
earth, bound on its heavenward journey
to the sun
SO rises the spirit bird from the ruins
of the body, the funeral urn which its
maker built, and death fires So towers
away 10 its home, in the pure elements of
spirituality the intellect Phoenix, to dip
its proud wings in the fountain of eternal
bliss. a-
SO shall dear, precious humanity survive
from the ashes Of burning world. SO
beautifully shall the unchanged soul soar
within the disc of Etenity's great lumina-
ry, with undazzled eye and unscorched
wings-the Phenix ofimmortality-taken
10 its rainbew home end cradled on the
beating bosom of eternal love.

The Latest Parody.
THE PRISTER's CONSOLATION.

Tell me, We gentle winds
That round my pathway play,
Is there place on earth
Where printers get their payH
The whispering breeze went by,
With accents filled with woe;
\ voice, borne on the sorrowing air,
In sadness answered NO"
Tell me- ye flowing streams
That smoothly glide along,
Is there one cherished place
Where printers meet not wrong?
The gentle brook replied,
In murmurs soft and low,
And winding on its verdant way,
1t meekly answered "No."
Tell me, We murky clouds,
Now rising in the west,
IsSthere upon the globe
One spot by printers blest?
The flashing clouds outspoke
With an indignant glow
A voice that filled the earth with awe
In thunder answered "No."
Tell me, hard-hearted man,
Withholding day by day,
Is there no honor in thy breast
The printers bill to pay?
Unanswering turns he round
How plain his actions show
An uttered, 0ath-capt sound is heard,
His actions answer No"
Tell me, thou gentle nymph,
Who blessest lite's hours through,
Is there one sacred shrine
Where printers get their due?
\ mantling blush her check diffused
Did tcnfold grace impart--
\ soft, responsive sigh replied,
Tis FOUND IN woMAS's HEART
Tell me, angelic hosts,
Ic messengers of Love.
Shall suffering printers here below
Have no redress above?
The angel bands replied
ITO us is knowledge given
Delinquents on the printers books
Can never enter heavcnr

Polytechnic School in Paris have recently
furnished some curious statistics bearing

smokers in the lower ranks but in various
ordeals that they have to pass through in
a year the average rank of the smokers

WHY AGRAvELBY Soil rs HEALTHY.-Dr.
Snow, in an important paper on the drainage
and water supply, shows that the absence Of
drainage, and its defective condition, are
injurious to health only by contamination
they cause to pump wells, or other supplies
of water ;sand that when the health OF the
community is improved by drainage, either
in town or country, tits Ly the amendment
which is effected in the drinking water of the
locality. He adds, also, that houses situate
on gravel are generally more salubrious than
those situated Oh clay, because organic mat
ters arc usually oxydized in passing through
the gravel and converted into mineral sub
stances chiefly nitrates, which have not the
power of cpmmunicating diseases. 1t is only
when the source of pollutiaR is very near Is

beautiful patterns of Cigar Tubes: also, sew
eral varieties of Pipe Tubes. The peculiarly
about these rtcles is that each one Is arrang-
ed so as to receive damp sponge, through
which the smoke of the burning cigar has TO
pass on its way to the mouth. This damp
sponge not only cools the smoke, but extracts
from it the nicotine oil, the poisonous proper
ty of the Tobacco, which renders the breath
less offensive Smokers viii find the use OF
these Tubes luxury never before attained
except by using the Turkish water jar. Their
use will also greatly promote the health ofthe
habitual smoker and preserve the sweetness
of the breath.

a Capital of one hundred thousand dollars.
This Company was formed with n view of tax
ing up inventors of small articles of general
utility, who are unable to make Independent
arrange nents for introducing their inventions,
by an equitable arrangement with them for
their rights by purchase out and out, or by a
tariff on the articles manufactured and sold.
The inventive genius of this country has long
called for an Institution of this kind. The
American mind is so active, that thousands OF
things are invented, many of which would be
really useful to the community. but which are
never introduced because the Inventors oi
them have no means to carry them out.
The capital of this Company will be devoted
to the development Of really useful inventions,
The Company have Committee ON Patents,
whose duty it is to pass upon att applications
and from their large experience IN such mat
ters Inl entara have security that their in
ventiops will not be misiudged and the high
character Of the parties composing that Com
mtt0o Is a sufficient guaranty that plans and
specifications may be Submitted before patents
are applied for, without any risk of adyan-
tage being taken of this circumstance, and
when desired to do so, the Company will take
out patents for others, securing for the inYen-
tor all of his invention that is patentable.
This Company respectfully invite inventors
to submit to them their plans and it will be
furthering the objects of the Company if its
officers and agents can be Of any service to
them.
Amy one of the following modes is accepta
BILE to this Company
First: To manufacture any articles for
which their machinery is adapted by contract,
the inventors receiving the articles and paying
for tho same on delivery.
Second: They buy any patent which is ap-
proved of by their committee,
Third: They will manufacture and sell any
article which they choose to adopt, giving to
the Inventor such a proportion Of the profits
as may be agreed upon.
