UTEMACHINERY.-Acor- cor
respondent writing from Lon
don says: 'sThe most extraor-
dinary machine in the exhibi-
ton is, beyond question, the
one for microscope writing.
This enables a person to write
in the usual way, and to dupli-
cate his writing a million times
smaller, so small, indeed, that
it is invisible to the naked eye,
yet with a powerful microscope
becomes so plain that every
line and dot can be seen. The
inventor claims that with this
instrument he can copy the en-
tire bible twenty-five times in
the space of an inch. The AS
tor Library, l presume, could
be transferred to a sheet of
note-paper. Practically, it will
be of great service in prevent
forgeries. With one of these
machines a private mark can
be put on bills so minnie and
perfect that the former can
neither perceive nor initiate it,
but the bank clerk or broker,
knowing where to look, can at
once detect that a bill is genu-
inc. The machine is an inyen-
tion of a Mr.. Peters"

lye they yield, and if there is
a surplus from the soap-mak-
ing, they hell the Kitchen gar
den at the back door. The
bones are generally thrown to

careful housewife would save
the bones as regularly as the
ashes, she would practice a
wiser economy and help her
kitchen garden twice, as fast.
Bones are worth twice an much
as ashes for manure, if dissolv-
ed, and the ashes will reduce

after mixing them half and

A New Kind of Iron.

Chemists are went to say
that the more a substance is
examined the more does it ap-
pearto contain ofproperties and
principles. The same appar-
emily may be said of iron, for
the more the manufacture Of
that metal is improved the
more does it appear susceptible
of Improvement. Fhere ara
now on exhibition in London,
specimens of iron manufactur-
ed from pig iron, which had
been used as ballast, by a pro-
cess Invented by Sir Antonio
Brady, Of the Admiralty. The
process is SO good that it con-
verts iron which, at 45s a ton.
would hardly find customer,
into iron worth ETA ton; and
as this can be done at a cost of
about Dos a ton, the profit may
be regarded as satisfactory.-
All the sulphur and all the
PHOSPHORUS, which reuder iron
so brittle end worthless, ara
completely got rid of, and
metal is produced which,
whether thick or thin. comes
out successfully from any test
to which it may be subjected.
1t may be bent and beaten,
hammered flat to any extent.
may be punched and treated in
any way whatsoever without
abating one jot ofits toughness
or showing any sign of a flaw.
After so much of favorable de-
description, the question arises:
Could pot this iron be used for
the axles of railway-carriages.
and also for the wheel-tiress
and SO enable the public to
travel with less risk or accident
than at present. Sir Joseph
Whitworth las an enormously
strong iron for making guns; ia
Sir Antonio Brady's iron likely
to compete with it9

On the bosom ofa river,
Where the sun unlooEed its quiver
And the starlight CLEANED forever
Sailed vessel light and free.
Morning dew-drops hung like mama
On the bright folds of her banner,
And the zePhyrs rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea.
AT herprow pilot beaming
In the flush ofyouth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming
Like an angel from absxe
Through his hair the breeze sported
And as on the wave lie fioated,
Oft that pilot, angel throated,
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks so blithely flowing
Buds of laurel bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon we're throwing
Music from Tyre of gold.
Swiftly down the:stream he gii,ied,
Soft the purple wave divided,
And a rainbow arch divided
On his canvas snowy fold.
AnxioEs hearts with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing TO the ocean,
Prayed that never wild commotion,
Midst the elements might rise.
And he seemed some young Apollo,
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water flags carol
Trembled to his music sighs.
But those purple waves enchanted,
Rolled beside city haunted,
By an awful spell that daunted
Every conner to the shore.
Night shades rank the air eneumbered,
And pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotuseater slumbered,
And woke to life pe wore.
Then there rushed with lightning quiekness
Der his face mortal sickness,
And the dew in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temple fair.
And there swept dying murnrer
Through the lovely Southern summer,
As the beautcous pilot conner
Perished bythat city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river,
And the sun unbiEds his culver,
And the starlight streams forever
Onits bosom as before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no moro the gay savanna,
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple waves no more
