US Of the loved and lost !! A vacant chair,
a pair of little shoes, a single stocking, or a

A bear is one who sells stocks on speculation,
thinking they will fall, SO that he can buy in for
less money to gil his contracts. 1t is to his inter.

BANK NOTES.

The engraving of bank notes in this country is
effected by a very skillful apd Ingenious process
All the lines composing the engraving of bank
plate are indented or sunk below the surface of a
smooth, fat steel plate. On examining a bank note,
it is seen to be composed of q number of parts of
pictures which are vsriously designated as vign-
cites, end pieces, counters. title, &c. Each one OF
the pictures or parts alluded to is originally en-
graved on q separate fat piece of unhardened
steel, a little larger that the design, and about one
eighth Of an inch in thickness. When the eugrav-
ing on these is finished, they are hardened By be-
ing plunged into a bath Of water or other liquid,
and are then called bed-plates. They are now
ready for what is termed the transferring opera.
ton. Tho transferring presses are machines sc
~contrived by o combination of levers and othe,
mechanical appliances, to obtain the greatest posi-
BILE pressure upon a small space. A hardened
steel bed-plase, containing an engraving, is placed
UPON the platform Of one of these presses, and
roller OF soft steel. generally about two inches anc
q half in diameter, is made to roll backward anC
forward oyer its surface several times, under al
enormous pressure. By this operation an exac
reverse Of the signette on the bedplate is obtained
every minute indebted line of the engraving rep
resented by a corresponding raised line on the sur
face of the roller. This roller. after being harden
ed, is called a die, and the reversed engraving up
on it's surface to the one above. can now be trans
ferred to any part of a steel bank note plate. Il
this way perfect fac-simiies of the original vignett
can be multiplied to inhnitude, and the tediou

WEARING WEEDS FOR A DEAD DEVIL

The English people were greatly shocked when
their dumpy queen kissed the ugly Louis Napo-
leon, and there was much rough British swearing
when che tied a garter on his crooked leg on the
occasion of investing him with the royal order of
the Bath. But what will they say at the announ-
cement just made that "the Court will 20 into
mourning for the late king Of Naples for ten days,
commencing on Thursday next, the 9th inst"
Such is the announcement of the Court Circular,
published under the patronage of the Palace at
London. For ten days the distinguished attend
ants of Her Majesty, from the first Lord of the
Bedchamber to the lowe est lady of the royal ward
robes. TO say nothing of other dignitaries of more
political import, are to mourn the departure of
King Bomba of Naples {! He was universally re-
garded as the worst man in Europe, whether on or
of the throne, and his death is to be lamented-as
if he had been a great public calamity. The New
York Evening post remarking upon this tomfool-
cry, observes that during the year that has passed
the world has lost several of its most eminent
men Humboldt, whose name for nearly o centu
ry has been connected with every intellectual la
Dor. Hallam, destined to q permanent place in
English literature, De TOcqueville, the most phi.
~losophic Of statesmen, andJoseph Surge, the most
indefatigable Of phiIanthropists, beside others
whose lives have adorned and benefited their
kind; but the Court Journal has scarcely 80 much
as ohronicled these events, while the demise OIL
the tyrant of Naples, a man with whom the Brit
ish Government has for manly years refused to hole
diplomatic relations because of his scandalous ant
inhuman career, is proclaimed an occasion for tri
butes of posthumous respect.

BUT ONE PAIR OF STOCKINGS.

An old wife sat by her Preside,
Swaying thoughtfully to and fro,
In an ancient chair whose creaky craw
Told q tale of long agoj
While down by her side on the kitchen floor,
Stood o basket Of worsted balls-a score,
Tho good man dozed Ger the latest news,
Till the light of his pipe went out;
Aud UNDECIDED, the kitten with cunning paws,
Rolled out and tangled the balls about;
Yet still sat the wife in the ancient chair,
Swaying to and fro in the freight glare.
But anon, a misty tear-drop came
In her eye of faded blue,
Then trickled down in a iurrew deep,
Like a single drop of dew:
Sc deep was the channel-so silent the stream,
The good man saw naught but the dimm'd eyt
Yet marveled he much that the light
or her eye had weary grown,
And marveled he more at the tangled balls
So he said in a gentle tone:
81 have shared thy joys since our marriage VOW,
Conceal not from ne thy sorrows now"
Then she spoke Of the time when the basket there
Was filed to the very brim,
And now there remained Of the goodly pile
But a single pair-for him;
Then wonder not at the dimme2 eye-light
There's but one pair of stockings to mend to night
I cannot but think of the busy feet,
Whose wraplings were wont to lay
In the basket, awaiting the needles time
Now wandered so far away;
How the s~prightly steps TO q mother dear
Unheeded fell on the careless ear.
For each empty nook in the basket old,
By the hearth there's an empty seat,
And I miss the shadows from, of the wall,
And the patter of many feet;
IT'S for this that a tear gathered Ger my sight,
At the one pair Of stockings to mend tonight.
Twas said that far through the fores, wild
And over the mountains bold,
Was a land whose rivers and darkening caves,
Were gemmed with the fairest gold,
Then my 6rst-born turned from The oaken door,
And | knew the shadows were only four.
= Another went forth on the foaming wave
And diminished the baskets store
e But his feet grew cold-so weary and cold
Q They'll never be warm any more
+ And this nook in its emptiness, seemeth to me,
To give forth no voice but the moaning sea.
Two othuru have gone toward the setting sun,
And made them a home in its light,
And fairy fingers have taken their share,
To mend by the Preside bright;
Some other baskets their garments fill
But mine Oh mine is emptier still.
Another-the dearest-the fairest-thc best
Was taken by the angels away,
And clad in q garment that waxeth not old,
In q land Of continual day, .1gH ~
{. o! wonder no more at the dimmed e~yelight,
While l mend the one pair of stockings tonight

AQUARIUMS.

The Boston Traveller, in some account Of the
Aquarial Gardens in Boston, says:
ut is not ON open.air exhibition. as might, at
first, be supposed. but may be found in a hall Of
good size, at 81 BroomGeld street. A table has
been placed entirely around the room, upon which
ore transparent tanks, thirty-four in number, vary
ing in size from 2 feet s inches to a feet A inches,
with one measuring 6 feet G inches in diameter,
and hold from 20 to 100 gallons of fresh and salt
water. These tanks are made of plate glass. so
that everything within them can be seen. They
are furnished W it'll rocks, sand, ~sea-weed, and from
eight hundred to a thousand varieties of fish and
visitors can seat themselves one side of these arti-
fetal ponds, and thus. at their leisure, watch the
eccentric movements of the fish.
"IIours may be spent in noticing the singular
habits of the animals, as they sieze and devour
their prey, or play or sport in the water as freely
as though they were in the ocean or river where
they first saw life. In one of these transparent
tanks is q pair of the stickle-back fish that have
attracted the attention of the curious. a few
days ago, the female deposited her spawn in a nest
which had been prepared by her mate. The male
then took possession of the nest, guarded it with
the most wstchful care, fighting off the female,
who seemed disposed, according to the habit of the
fish, TO eat up the spawn. At his leisure, the male
would take up in its little mouth bits of pebbles,
and place them around the nest to protect it from
the action of the water. Having done this, it pro-
ceeded to spin a web-in appearance precisely
like the spider's-scfuss the nest, as an additional
protection.
"In the various ponds may be seen the trout,
perch, founder, turtle, eel, %pickerel, horn-pout,
.see-ravep, sculpin, dandy-crab, sea-urchin, tautog,
bass, pipe-6sh, medusa, or ~jelly-fsb, &C., &c. In
one of the larger tanks are tautog and bass which
are two years old. They we're caught when very
small, and are now perfectly tame. In the centre
of the hall is a large aquarium, measuring 6 feet
6 inches in diameter, in which the proprietors
Messrs. Cutting and Butler. will place in afew days
a couple of sharks and q dolphin. The fish are
regularly fed once a day on tho common garden
worm. They devour large quantities"

AVOIDING THE RESPONSIBILITY,

Brothers Crump and Noel were members Of the
church, and both clever, honest men, who paid
their taxes and debts, as the same annually accru-
ed, with q regularity at onco christian and COM
mendaLie. If, when tLe settling day came round,
Brother Noel was "short," Brother Crump was
sure to be in funds, and. on the other hand, it al
most seemed providential how, if Brother C.ump
fe | "behind," Brother Noel always had a s%urplus.
Thus, borrowing from and lending to each other,
worshipping at the same church and living a mile
apart, On intimacy gradually ripened between
them; SO at last they did not hesitate to speak 10
the frankest and most familiar manner to each 9th.
er, even in regard to their respective foibles.
Now, it came to pass that brother Crump, dur.
ing the liveliest period Of the cotton season, drove
into Wetumpka and disposed of his 'crop" Of ten
bales, at the very fair price Of twelve and q hall
cents per pound. 1t was more than he expected,
and, as the world was easy with him, he determin.
ed 10 invest, and did actually invest q portion Of
the proceeds Of the sale of the cotton in q barrel Of
Western whiskey. paying therefor at the rate Of
precisely two pounds Of ~middling cotton for one
gallon Of "do," whiskey. OF course it was mora,

Whose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory is dead.
"To one whose love for me shall last,
When lighter passions long have passed,
So holy 'tis and true
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed more keenly felt,
Than any pledged to you"
Each guest upstarted Il at the word,
And laid his hand upon his sword,
With fury flashing eyes;
And Stanley said. 1--WE crave the name,
Proud knight, Of this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count 30 high"

Not breathe hvr name in careless mood,
Thus lightly to another,
Then bent his noble head as though
To give that word the reverence due.
