 The Agency is not only the largest in Ntw England, but through it, jnYentors have ad. vantages for securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentabil:ty of inventions, unsurpassed by, if not immeasurably superior to, any which can be offered them elsewhere. The Testimo- nials given below prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE, than the subscriber: and as SUCCESS Is THE rrY, he would add that he has ab1pdant' req son to believe, and can prove, that at no oth- CT office of the kind are the charges for pro- fcssiOnal services 50 moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate vast collection of specifications and official decis- ions relative to Patents.
 These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts oi patents granted in the United States and Eu- rope, render him able beyond question, to of fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents. All necessity of journey to Washington, to procure 6 patent, and the usual great de. lay'thsre, gre here saved inventors.

The FIRST AMERICAN FLAG IN ENGLAND
We copy from memoir of Elkapah Watson, il
late number of the .Ne,o England Historical
and Genealogical Register, the following anec-
dote of Copley. the artist, who it will be recol-
ected, was born in Boston, and was the father OF
the present Lord Lyndhurst
"Soon after Mr. Watson's arrival in England,
he dined with Copiey, the distinguished painter,
a Bostonian by birth, and came To the conclusion
to expend hundred guneas, which he had just
easily obtained, for splendid portrait OF himself
by that celebrated artist.
The painting was Finished says Mr.. W. in
his journal. in most admirable style, except the
background, which Copley and | designed to
represent ship bearing to America the acknowl-
edgement of Independence, with sun just rising
upon the stripes OF the Union streaming from
her guff. All was complete, save the flag, which
Copey did not deem prudent to hoist under
present circumstances, as his gallery is constant
resort of the royal family and the nobility.

after our return from the House OF Lords, he

The News OF a Day.

" Great battle Times ertrd ~ the newsboy cried
But it scarcely rippled the living tide
That ebbed and flowed in the busy street
With its throbblng hearts and its restless feet
Again, through the hum Of the city, thrilled
90 Great battie-7imes ertrd-Ten thousand killed -
And the little carrier hurried away
With the sorrowful vows Of that winter day.
To dreary room in the attic high
Trembed the words of that small sharp cry;
And lonely widow bowed down her head
And murmured Willie, my Willie, is dead
Oh, feared il was not an idle dream
That led me, last night, to that deep, dark stream
Whore the ground was wet with crimson rain
Aud strewn all over with CHASTITY slain
The stars were dim for the night was wild,
But threaded the gloom till found my child.
The cold rain fell on his upturned face
And the swift destroyer had lett no trace
OF the sudden blow, and the quick, sharp pain,
But little wound aud purple stain,
tried to speak, but my voice was gone,
And my soul stood there IN cold, gray dawn,
Till they riaed his body with ruthless hand
And covered him up with reokmg sand.
"wlc, o Willie il seems but day
Since thy baby head on my bosom lay;
Since heard thy prattle, SO soft and sweet,
And guided the steps of thy totteriug feet
And thou vert the iaircst and last OF three
That the Father In Heaven had given to me
All the life of my heart, love, hope and joy
Were treasured in thee, my strong, brave boy ;
And the last, faint words that thy father said
Were, Willie will mind thee when am dead
But they tore the flag from thy death cold hand,
And covered thee up in tho reekng sand"
She read the names of the missing and slain
But one She read over, again aud again
And the sad, low words that her white lips said
We're, " Company G, William Warren, dead"
TIE world toiled on through the busy street,
With its aching hearts and unresting feet
The night came down to her cold hearthstone,
And she still read on In the same low tone,
And still the W. ords that her white lips said
We're, Company C, William Warren, dead"
The light of the morning chased the gloom
From the emberless hearth OF that attic room
And the cty's pulses throbbed again,
But the mothers heart had forgotten its pain.
She had gone through the gates to the better land
With that terrible list in her pale, cold hand,
With her white lips parted at last she said,
" Company &, William Warren, dead"
