New Rolling Mill.

The Portsmouth Repdblican says: The
frame work, on which is to rest the roof
that Is to cover the rolling mill works of
Messrs. Gaylord & Co., is being erected.
The timbers are ponderOus, the principals
or stringers each weighing about $4,000
pounds. The building is to be 262 feet
long and l24 feet wide. It will require be-
tween 2OG 900 and 100000 feet of lumber.
The frame is now only about half up. The
mill was entirely stopped last evening, to
enable the carpenters to erect the other
half. The business will be pushed for
ward as fast as the energy and business of
Mr.. William Harris, the master-wOrkman,
can push it, with a full corps of labOrers.
The building, when finished, will loom up
to the vision Of those coming up and down

"When L was building my first
steamboat in New York, the project
was viewed by the public either with
indifference or contempt, as a vision
ary scheme. My friends indeed were
civil, but they were shy. They lis
tened with patience to my explana-
tiOns, but with a settled cast of incrcd-
ulity on their countenances. As 7 had
occasion to pass daily to and from the
building yard, while my boat was in
progress, / have often loitered IN
known near the idle groups of stran-
gers, gathering in little circles, and
heard various inquiries as to the OBJ
iect of the new vehicle. The language
was uniformly that of scOrn, or sneer,
or ridiculo. The loud laugh often
rose at my expense; the dry jest; the
wise calculation of losses and .expendi-
lures, the dull but endless repetition
of Fulton's folly. Never did a single
encouraging remark, a bright hope, a
warm wish, cross my path. Silence
itself was but a pOliteness, vaiIing its
doubts or hiding its reproaches."

Death of the British Minister.

Sir Frederick Bruce, representative
of the British Government at Wash
ington, died very suddenly at Boston,
from an attack Of apopIoxy. Sir
Frederick was somewhat past middle
age, and was appointed Minister to
our Government on recall of Lord Ly-
Ons. He had fulfilled the duties Of
his Office with much tact. Though
the relations between the Cabinets Of
Washington and St. James have been
somewhat irritating during the past
two or three years, Sir Frederick sue
ceeded in retaining the personal
esteem of all Americans with whom
he came in contact, while never abat-
ing his zeal for the interests of his own
country. His death will be deeply
regretted in diplomatic and official
circles.

How to dc Good.

DR.. johnson wisely said, "He who waits
to do a great deal OfgOOd at once, will new
er do anything" Life is made up of lit
tie things-It is but once in an age that
occasion is offered for doing great deed.
True greatness consists in being great in
little things. How are railroads built? by
one shovel of dirt after another; one shovel
at time. Thus, drops makes the ocean.
Hence we should be willing to do a
little good at time, and never "wait to
do great deal of good at once" five
would do much good in the world, we must
be willing to do good in little things, little
acts and one after another; speaking a
word here, giving a trace there, and set
ting good example all the time, we must
do the first thing we can, and the next, and
to keep on doing good. This is the way to
accomplish any thing Thus only shall we
do all the good in our power.

GENTLEMANLY CONDUCT.-Self re-
spect is the safest preventive against
quarreling. The man who is sure of
his position is the slOwest to suspect
another of a design to question it; and
hence the art of avoiding alterations
has generally beOn deemed one of the
peculiar characteristics of the gentle
man. Never to seem afraid of being
put upon, as the phrase is-never to
argue the question merely lest people
should think you n'targue it-never
to fight simply for fear that lOokers-On
might think you are a cOward-these
are some of the maXims on which all
men of superior minds act, habitu-
ally and uncOnsCiOusly; and it is the
habit which gives to such men that
air of repOse and self possession, be-
fore which fools stand abashed and
dandies wax wild with envy.

The Marks Of the Beast.

The microscope is truly marvellous
instrument. No discovery ought, per
haps, to astOnish us which is made by
its assistance: yet, that said to have
been made by a German chemist will
surprise many persons. This saUan,
with a glass magnifying many mil
lions of diameters, is reported to have
found in the human blood every spe-
cies of animal and insect, from the ele-
phant down to the mosquito. OF
course, being a German, and therefore
a metaphysician, he straightway builds
a fantastic theory upon this animicu-
lar basis. He thinks the character
and temperament of the individual
regulates or is regulated by (he is not
quite sure which, the species of animal
predominant in his blood glObules.
In the man of ferocity, for instance,
the microscopic tigerand his cOngeners
should predominate in the man of
gentIeness, the lamb; in the brave
man, the lion or eagle in the coward,
the hare; in the philosopher, the owl;
and so On.-TNeW York Post.

For Ietters-letters from their friends,
Crawling upon their hands aud knees,

letter from his wife he sees I f'.
Gasping for breath, he shrieked aloud,

Into prayer, AMI such tone

For wife and children, that the guard,
Thinking upon his own, passed by,
And left him swooning on the sward.

Up toward the light, his pale lips smiled,

Every man who has sense enough
to appreciate a wOman's worth, and
energy and industry enough to sup
port her, and virtue and intelligence
enough to bring up his children in the
way they should gO-every such man
should marry. And every woman
who is able to comprehend the value
of a good husband, and has love
enough to prompt her to cheer him in
his time of trial and WEAKNESS, and
generosity enough to prevent him
from making himself the slave of her
extravagance-every such woman, we
