PRIMITIVE MoDEs OF WORKING IRoN.-The
early productions of the Maagasy smiths were
necessarily rude, but since the Instructions given
to a large number of youths by the thoroughly
qualified English smith sent out with the mis-
sOnaries, their work has been improved and
is creditable to their intelligence and skill. es-
pecialIy when the simple apparatus by which
it is produced is considered The smiths who
work for the government sometimes form almost
entire villages and work together in sheds ;
but the native smith, who on his own account
plies his craft, works at the south end Of his
dwelling. His forge is a simple affair the
earthern floor of his house forms the hearth
for his fire, which is kept together by three or
four stones The bellows consist of two wooden
cylinders with piStons, similar to those which
supply the draft for the smelling furnace

S P R IN G
BY HENRY T. TUcKERMAN.

Bride Of the year met thee last
Amid thy favorite bowers,
And saw thy virgin form repose
On banks of Southern flowers;
Thy breath awoke Creations Tyre,
Thine eve embodied youth,
Thy smile gave birth to countless dreams
OF glory, love, and truth
Zephyrs as angels breathing soft,
And rain more sweet than dew,
Nodded thy beauty into life,
Sweet, delicate, and true;
The sky deeper azure wore,
The sea more gently rolled,
The sun his banner newly deCked
With purple, rose and gold.
The dim, gray olives leaf grew bright
To feel thy kindly air
Stir its old boughs, like childhood's cheek
Pilowed on hoary hair.
The cypress wildly waved no more,
and ceased its dirge-like moan,
To greet thy thrilling touch, and hear
The music Of thy tone.
Thy tender hand drew off the shroud
From many an Alpine head,
And 10! where long dense clouds hung dark,
Apearly light is spread:
The ancient moss was green again,
Beneath thy pitying tear,
And shrunk the dead leaves from the grass
As thy light step drew near.
With pensive sweetness played the founts,
And streamlets louder sung,
IS thou thy cynosurc of hues
Around them softly flung;
The west, rejecting thy deep blush,
Prolonged its rosy glow
The hill-tops felt thy balmy kiss,
And dofted their garb of snow.
Thy song beguiled the lizard forth
To rustic through the broom,
And dressed the almond-boughs with buds,
To watt a sweet perfume
The bee trilled clear his tiny horn,
The nightingale her flute,
Each whispering branch became harp,
And every reed a Lutte.
The aloe raised his pendant spear,
With a chivalrc pride,
While the dark pines welcome waved
Along the mount ain side.
The lily, from its shield of green,
Looked forth with meek surprise;
And Twilight fingered from her couch,
To watch thy loving eyes

Truth is always consistent with itself, and
needs nothing to help it out it is always near
at hand, sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop
out before we are aware. A lie is troublesome
and sets mans invention upon the rack, and
one trick needs great many more to make it
good.

CHANGE OF SEAsoAs.-T'he peo-
pie of these parts awoke on Thursday
morning last to the consciousness of
an atmospheric change having taken
place during the night. The sky was
overcast with clouds and the rain was
gently distilling upon the earth. For
about ninety-six hours the rain drops
came down with scarcely any cessa-
tion.-not very fast but steadily-and
not till Monday did sunshine again
appear. Since the rain the days have
been cold and the nights quite SO.
sOn Monday night the frost was quite
severe and ice formed to the thick
ness of three-sixteeDths of an inch, in
buckets. A change in the seasons is
plainly discernable. The air is fresh
or and more bracing, and the parti
colored foliage of the trees tell as the
winter is near.

In Pennsylvania the Republicans

money. He declined her proposition
to accompany him, alleging the in

A Bloody Relic.-Mr. J. Pimm, of
this city left at our Office the sword of
Eantree Lafee, one of the noted Chiefs
of the late Sepoy rebellion in India.
The weapon is Of native manufacture,
about the length of our swords, but
having some twelve inches of the
blade curved and double-edged, The
workmanship displays considerable
ingenuity, but in the design there is
no eye to defense; it would deal ter
rible blows, but ward them poorly.
When taken from its luckless owner
fwho was executed by the British) it
was clotted with human gore, which
was suffered to remain and rust on it,
adding greatly to it's interest as me-
mento of the terrible scenes Of slaugh-
ter and bloodshed in which it bore a
part. Mr.. .Pimm, who is recently
from India, has several native imple-
ments of warfare. and other curiosi-
ties from that sunny clime.-Sonoma

There is much speculation as to who |


are likely to be the most prominent
candidates in January next. Public
attention is at present more or Jess
fixed upon Governor Weller. To liim
there seems to be grave objection
at the outset. His Administration of
the State Government was repudiated
by his party, in the late State Con-
ventior, by the nomination of CON-
paratively young man and that con-
demnation was sustained by the peo-
pie in eleeting his Democratic com
petitor by an overwhelming majority.
1t is not usual to elevate a man 10 the
office Of Senator whose Administra-
ton oftbe Gubne1natorial functions
have been condemned in SO marked
a manner.
Governor Weller served full term
cf six years as United States Sena-
tor from the State of California ; the
people did not see fit to rc-eleet him.
He was defeated by decided major
ity. Nor was his defeat the result Of
accident, or the casual combination
of parties. 1t grew out of q well
founded conviction of his incompe-
tency for tile place. Governor Well
or has been very impcrfectly educa-
ted he has very little general infor-
nation he has no habit of reading,
and, beyond the merest party rela-
tions. has no knowledge of the histo-
ry of the Government. Of its great
operations he has never had sufficient
industry to acquaint himself. During
the whole term of his services in the
Senate he never submitted a report
or delivereda a speech which his friends
can cite as evincing either efoquence,
solid information, or parliam entary
ability of any sort. 1t is notorious
that his Incidence and inattention TO
business prevented his being of any
service to his constituents before the
Departments. 1t is known to every
Californian who is in the habit of Wis
iting Washington city, that Weller's
habits untitled him for business, and
rendered any distinction as a Senator
quite out of the question. The SOM
orous voice and stereotyped clap-traps
which take him tolerably we'll thro'
a party canvass only expose him to
ridicule in the Senate. His conduct,
his appointments, and administration
of the State Government generally,
have exhibited iamentable want of
judgment, decision of character, and
tirmness of purpose, His Democracy
is more than suspected by the intelli-
gent and sound men of the party. 1t
can be proved beyond doubt, that in
the first instance he sided with Dou-
glas in relation to the admission of
Kansas. and came only to the support
of the Administration when he saw
that the party of this State was de-
termined to support Buchanan.-Cor.

tors on the occasion. 1t matters little
VIII ether the ladies' effected an organ
ixation OF not. Unlike the gentle
men, they did not spend their time in
q squabble for honors, an indulgence
iu gas ard nothing else, for we have
tbe evidence that the ladies came to
an understanding of what course it
kehooved them to pursue in view of
che lethargy of the "men folks. -
They decided to get mp a grand ball

There is something positive and tan
