Portable The general appearance Of the market place
was much more lively giving the impression Of bet
ter market. In opinion, however the butchers get
better cattle to-day at 9a9c. pound, for the net
weight Of beef than they did last week on the average
and there are more bullocks selling at l0c p rs than
before in any week for long time, while there are
good many super-exra fine bullocks selling for Christ

tbeee sales will be noted in the regular report made up
to- morrow. There were about $500 head on sale TO-
day. and of better average quality than we have seen
for long time. The owners Of the lower grades Of
stock do not appear to think the market any better and
some say it is worse than it has been heretofore. II
probably has that appearance more from the fact that
the show bullocks attract much attention that 1t

LINCOLN OR BREcKlNRiDaB.--L

LINCOLN OR BREcKINRiDGB.--Let
Democrats remember that the only
candidates who are sure of an electo-
raj vote are Lincoln and Breckin'
ridge. One or the other Of thess
will be next President, unless the
election should fail to be made by
the people and the House Of Rep
resentatives. By no possibility can
Douglas be elected, and the chances
are that like VanBuren in lS4S, he
will not get a single electoral vote.
Why then should votes be wasted
on him? If he persists in running
he may give this and some Other
States to Bell which would otherwise
90 for the Democracy, and that il
all. Which shall it be, Democrats

The partisans of Mr.. Douglas.

effort, claim the most extravagaut
considerations, from the circum-
stance Of his having majority Of

only II votes, but still it Was a ma

that this majority was alone procured
under the operation Of the unfair

UNDER THE ICE.

Under the ice the waters run,
Under the ice our spirits lie;
The genial glow of the summer sun
Shall loosen their fetters by and by,
Moan and groan in thy prison cold,
River of life-river of love;
The winter is growing worn and old,
The frost is leaving the melting mold,
And the sun shines bright above.
Under the ice, under the snow,
Our lives are bound in crystal ring;
By and by will the south winds blow,
And roses bloom on the banks of spring.
Moan and groan in thy fetters strong,
River Of life-rver of love;
The nights grow short, the days grow long
Weaker and weaker the bonds Of wrong,
And the sun shines bright above.
Under the ice our souls are hid,
Under the ice our good deeds grow;
Men but credit the wrong we did,
Never the motive that lay below.
Moan and groan in thy prison cold.
River of life-river of love
The winter Of life is growing old,
The frost is leaving the melting mold,
And the sun shines warm above.
Under the ice we hide our wrong
Under the ice that has thrilled us through
Oh that the friends who have known us long,
Dare to doubt we are good and true
Moan and groan, in thy prison cold,
River Of lifo-river Of love;
Winter is growing worn and old,
Roses stir in the melting mold,
We shall be known above.

TIE APPRENTIcE.-A young man,
whose father was in easy circumstances,
was desirous of learning the printing busi-
ness. His father consented, on condition
that he should board at home and pay
weekly for his board out of the avails of
his special pcrquisitcs, during his apprcn-
ticeship. The young man thought this
rather hard, but when he was Of age, and
master of his trade, his father said:
Here, my son, is the money paid to
me for board during your apprenticeship.
l never intended to keep it, but have re-
tained it for your use, and with il l give
you as much more as will enable you TO
commence your business"
The wisdom of the old man was appa-
rent 10 the son; for while his fellows had
contracted bad habits in the expenditure
of similar perquisites, and were now PEN
niless and in vice, he was able TO COM
mence in business respectfully, and he now
stands at the head Of the publishers in
this country, while most Of his former
companions are poor, vicious, and de-
graded.

CLEANING STEAM BorLERs.-Having
been constant reader of the Scientific
american, have noticed several articles
relative to the incrustation of boilers and
the method for preventing or removing the
same. Being an engineer myself l, of
course, have had tocontend with the same
difficulty, and have used n number Of ar
ticles, such rs potatoes, potash and rye,
but have rs yet found nothing so benef-
cial as common molasses. In using il l
have taken some convenient time when l
could blow out few hours after having
raised steam, and previous to admitting
water TO the boiler, l would send in one
of the firemen with quantity of the ar
ticle and n common swab made of rags
with which he would thoroughly coat the
hues and sides of the boiler with the mo-
lasses. Afterwards | would raise steam
and run from six to eight hours, then blow
down, and, besides the scale that would
find already detached from the boiler, l
could, with common pick, remove that
which had before resisted the hardest
blow. In boiler 80 feet long and AZ
inches diameter, l have, in one trial, re-
moved upwards of half bushel of scale.
