TO MY CHILD. _
I love to gaze upon thy cheek
Of roseate him, my child 5
Ilove to mark thy quick blue eye,
So sparkling and so wild ; _
To twine those sunny locksof thine,
And kiss thy forehead fair,
And see thy little hands held up
In sweet and guileless prayer.
Yes! bright and beautiful thou art,
And playful as the fawn, _
" That bounds, with footsteps light as air;
Across the dewy lawn ;
And when the day is over,
And thy pleasant gambols done,
T1iou'lt calmly sink to rest, nor think
Of ills beyond that sun.
‘ Thou dreain‘s't not of a motlier’s cares,
Her anxious hopes, my boy ;
Thy skies are ever clear, thy thoughts
Are fall of mirth and joy ; '
And nestled in a parent's arms,
‘Or seated on her knee,
List‘niog to oft told cliildjsh tales,
Whotls all the world to thee ?
' Moments of thoughtless innocence,
Why do ye fly so fast,
Leaving the weary heart to feel
Life's sweetest hours are past ?
' And lliriging ofer the fairy land
That..bloom’d when ye were near
W"r.h light and loveliness, the mist
Of trouble, doubt and fear.

‘When on the sad and yearning heart,
The clouds of early sorrow fall,
Oh, what shall bid their gloom depart,
. And lift the spirit from their thrall?
When, 'neath the foldings of the pull,
The lostand beautiful are laid,—-
Oh, who shall answer to the call
By watchful Love, in anguish made?
VVhen froui our daily paths, like flowers,
Our kindred wither, one by one,
Ah l what shall gild the weary hours,
Or bring again the unsliadowed sun
To smile all darkening scenes upon ?—
To chase the clouds that round them rise,
Recal again each vision gone, ‘
And bathe in light the uplifted skies ?
“When, with a shadow o'er them flung,
Appear the sure autumnal trees ;
And every blast their boughs among
Awakens inournful images;
VVhat, on the lapse of hours like these,
Can earth, with all her phantoms. fling,
When hope hath ceased her melodies,
And folded up her rainbow wing P
Is it not sweet. when song and dream
Have passed, lide sunset’s sky of fire ;
VVhen Love's false pinion sheds no gleam
O‘er Pleasure’s crushed and tunelessly re,
To raise with purified desire ‘
The prayer, in earnest suppliance given,
Which lifts the immortal spirit higher,
And antedates the joys of heaven ?

THE LEGACY.
81- ‘run AUTHOR or “vii.i.icz 1-.u.i-zs”. I
CLOTBED in the simple beauty of spring ,
the landscape thotsurrouuded Herton Coi- '
(agQ' presented [I19 nmsxt (lnlirinnc cannery
in an the valley; and the traveller who
passed by, perchance, when he looked up-
onit from the dusty road, as it stood hall’
bid away in the cool shade, surrounded by
luxuriant shrubbery, and fields loaded with
flourishing vegetation, would naturally say
to hiniself—-there dwells a happy family.
The Hcrtons were not unhappy -not
unthankful. _ They were sensible of the
blessings with which a kind providence
had surrounded them; and laboured with
care and diligence gradually to increase
their little property. No people were
more honest, more faithful to their engage-
merits, or more scrupulous in discharging
the duties of good citizens among those a-
round them, especially when such a dis-
charge in no measure interferred with their
interests. For, after all, it could not be
said that, within the memory of one of
their neighbors, they had ever been known
in a single instance, to postpone their in-
terest or their comfort to those of any one.
They were not iich--a competence was
about the amount they possessed,and prob-
ably ihey did not save from their labours
more than prudence might have whisper-
ed was necessary as a provision against
adverse times.
Thus, all events. the Herlons reasoned
with themselves. They appeared to feel
chaiitably disposed. They applauded
those who ministered to the wants of oth-
They freely admitted the obligation
in its fullest extent ; but were always pro-
vided wiih an excuse to screen themselves.
Often did I-Ierion lament with apparent
(sincerity, his want of wcalth,because it o-
bliged him to be -close, handed, and to de-
ny the numerous calls for charitable pur-
poses mado upon him. These regrets
seemed really to come from his heart ; and
though no man ever was more uncliariiable
in-deed,yet so humanely did he talk about
the matter, that his neighbors often said
among themselves, what a pity it is that
the Hertons are not wealzhy; how liberal
they would be; how much they would do
for ihe poor.
H I_Ah,Mrs. Woriley,’ Hcrton used often
to_ say to the old lady who lived in the
farm-house, adjoining his plantation, and
whose ‘wealth was scattered with a liberal
hand abroad, as uifull stream winding ihro’
the vale, and carrying blessings. wherever
it incandered—-“Ah, Mrs. \Voriley, how
blest would I be if I had the means to be
gén'erous like you. Like you I would re-
-lieve the-widows, and assistjihe orphans,
bind uplhe broken hearts, and go about’
doing good. . No occupation appears dres-
sed in so many aitractions. But ‘ibis lat
hour and toil; this scanty income; this
poverty-.-—bow it grieves me to be destitute
of the ability to do as 1 would.”
Mrs. Wonley was charmed with these
frequent ejaculations-—tliis overflow ofho-
nevolent feeling; and she thought. she
,g;0!1ld not put a portion of her fortune to a
better use than by leaving it to the would-
be-. philanth_ropist‘of Herton’ Cottage.-
Slie died—and in her _,will bestowed upon
' Mr. Herton, a large and ample legacy.—
It made him rich. ' »
»The legacy was paid. Many pretty im-
provements were made about the cottage,
and the inmates it was tbouglit,,soon began
to hold their heads a little higher than usu-
al. They dressed gaily; rode in a new
carriage ; and dined late. Improvement,
indeed, after improvement, was seen to
take place in their style of living; but in
vain were the expectations of the neigh-
borhood, that the promised charities ofilie
good lieaited coltagers would now burst
forth. The word seemed to have been
strangely blotted out of their memories,
since their goodfoitune put it in their pow-
erto practice on ii. The distressed fell
lheiloss of Mrs. Worilcy most sensibly;
and it was natural that they should look
with much hope on the Ilertons, the prin-
cipal heirs of her fortune, for reparation
ofthe loss her death has occasioned them.
It was a forlorn hope—-and speedily cut
off. The doors of Horton Cottage were
not unclosed to every one. The hearts
ofits inliabiiaiits in process of lime, grew
proud, and selfish, and scoruful, and,wlien-
ever a man was heard afterwards in Ales-
bury, boasting what good he would do Wllll
money that he had not——or talking much
about charity, and doing nothing to illus-
trate his real meaning—it was said, “That
is a llerton story." I
A story so barien ofincidents ought to
be rich in instruction. Let us look to tho
inoral. Are there not thousands in the
world ; nay, many in your neighbourhood,
who appear to think a great deal, and who
do talk a great deal about doing good, and
being clinrilablc, when they become ricli-
er than they are, and yet who are very far
from giving or doing now to the extent of
their ability ? Depend upon it, these are
all deceiving themselves. Wlicrev'ei' the
root of the matter is, there will be fruit
according to the means and opportunities
enjoyed. It is coininoiffor people to qui-
et their consciences in this nay, by per-
suading themselves they are too poor to
be charitable, while they neglect a tliou-
sand opportunities of doing good, which
are entirely within their reach. But he a-
lone discharges his duty, who, whatever
may be his situation, to the extent of his
ability, casts his offerings into the common
treasury, for the relief of human suffering
wherever it is found.

.ZlIanufa'.clurc of Glass.—-It may in-
terest many of our country readers, and
not improbably some in the city, to be
acquainted with ilie process of innking
glass. \Ve believe Crown glass is made
at no other establisliment in America than
the one here; but there are several for
the production of cylinder glass, and of
this latter it will be our purpose more par-
ticularly to speak.
The pots in which the several ingredi-
ents are melted, have the form of drinking
gl3559-3; al"-1*-r-1-nu-tin nfa hm,-iiliar kind nf
clay; sufficiently large to contain‘-250 lbs.
of the mixtures to be melted. The ina-
terials used are sand, potash, salt, limo,
ashes, chip-glass, &c.
The sand and ashes are calcined or kept
at a red heat five or six hours to expel
moisture, carbonic acid and some foreign
ingredients. They are sifted and all the
substances uniformly mixed together.——
The furnace,‘ having the pots arranged in
two rows, is raised to a white heat before
the mixture to be melted is put in, which
requires three weeks, or a month. The
furnace has two fire places one at each end.
After it is raised to a desired degree of
heat, a fireman takes two sticks of wood,
puts one into one fire place, walks round
-the furnace,and puts the other into the oth-
er fire place. and repeats it continually,
thus keeping a uniform heat. The.vi:ri-
liblo nialeiials melt in 24, or 30 hours.
There is one blower, and a boy or ap-
prentice to each pot. The blower has a
pipe, which is a rod, like a large cane,with
an orifice through it, the ends of which are
iron. He dips one end ofilie pipe into the
melted glass; a quantity adheres ; he
moulds this with an iron for the purpose if
necessary, and blows into the nielicd mass,
till it is swollen lo the circumference re‘-
quired. He then swings it, blowing and
luriiing it at the same time, which forms it
into a cylinder. The boy talzes it, and
pours cold water upon the part in contact
with the pipe, wh. immediately breaks off.
The next operation is called cappling,
which -is cutting oil‘ the upper end of the
cylinder. This is done by taking a little
melted glass from the puts on a rod, which
by a pair of pinccrs is drawn into a thread,
and put round the upper part of the cylin-
der which cracks it off leaving both ends
alike. . A red hot iron is then drawn in a
straight line repeatedly from end to end,
and by moisteniiig it with the finger ii
cracks; it is then laid by for flattening.-—
The glassis afterwards heated in an oven
till it becomes flexible; it is placed upon
it flat stone, and spread open, and pressed
down upon the stone. The cylinder is
‘now converted into a plain surface, which
"is annealed and cut into panes of glass and
boxed up for market.
In_a manufactory liaving ufurnace with
ten pols, from 700 to 1000, boxes‘ per
month are made. This is continued nine
nientlis in a year, three months being oc-
cupiedusually in making repairs. Thus
one-factory usually sends to market 8000
boxes per year. The foreign article is ex-
cluded from the market, and llie price of
the American glass has been reduced two
thirds in 12 years,
—C—-
A Glass factory has just been established at
Dundaff, Penn. During tlie_week ending on
the I-tth ult. there were made 15,500 feet, or
350 boxes, 8 by 10 glass. 'I‘herc are 5 biii|d-
ings connected with the establishment.

Little Charlotte was going out into her fa-
l:ber’s orchard. It was full of violets. ‘ Oh !’
cries Charlotte, full of joy, ‘ what beautiful
little flowers! I will gather my apron full,
and make a iiosegay for mother.’ She imme-
diately kneltdowii, and with great industry
gatliered her apron full, then she seated her-
self iirideran appletree, and made a handsome
nosegay. ‘ Here it is !' said she, ‘ now I will
run and carry it _to my dear mother. How
she will be delighted to kiss me !’ To iii-
crease the pleasure of lierinother, she clept
slily into the kitchen, look a china plate, put
the iiosegay on it, and went on a full leap
down the stairs to find her mother. But
Charlotte, stumbled, fell, and broke the china
plate into a hundred pieces, and scattered her
noscgay all around. Her mother who wasin
the room near. by, heard the noise, and imme-
diately sprang to the door. When she saw
the broken plate. she ran back, seized a thick
rod, and without inquiring a word about the
manner in which the plate was brokeo,Tcame
to the child. Te_r._rified, both by the ;fall and
on account ofthe broken plate, andlialfdcad
with fear of the rod. little Cliarlottf-coutd only
ejaculate ‘ dear rnother! dear motl’icr&,i" But
this was of no service to her. ‘ You little

p-late——will you :"—aud cliastiseil tier severe-
ly. Little Charlotte was offended, when she
found liersclflreated with such open injustice.
She did not forget it fora long time, and nev-
er again brought a noscgay to her iiiotlier.

An agreeable, married couple had their
hands so sull of busiiiessand enterprises. that
they considered every moment lost which they
devoted to conversation with their chil<lren.—-
'-l'he liusband was busy with calciilation of
profits, and the wife was always planning how
to maintain their style of living. and increase
their articles of dress. Any interruptions
from their children were considered {as injur-
ing their prospec's. If little Nicholas skipped
up to his father with his A. B, C book, and
said, ‘ Look, father! the pretty monkey has
got an apple in bispaw !' he received for an
answer, ‘ Don't disturb me !‘ He ran to his
mother, and she sent him away. 'I‘lieii he
went with his book in his hand to Sally, the
chambermaid, and she knew how to tFeat him
better. She laughed with him over the men-
key. showed him the wolfand the bare, and
told him how the wolf devoured sheep, and
‘ how good, roasted hares tasted.’ His
His dear sister Mary treated him in the same
way. She knew his secrets, and entered into
all hisjoys. If his father or mother were to
journey three months, he would care nothing
about it; but iflittle Mary was absent one
day from home, he would sob and cry.
RULE 3d.—Dcny innocent cnjoymcnls to yo/ur c/zil.

A certain mun became a father in his fifti-
elli year. On account of his age,he was grave
and serious in his department, and he wished
Gustavus to be so also. But Gustavus was
not. As he was forming his character, he
felt ' very active ‘and lively; ,¢*‘°ump¢d

but if he chased butterflies, or run hit ofthe

cry out; ‘ Gustavus! Gustavus! -Where are

here? Fie on the wild boy! Lookand see
bowl behave ! pan’: you behave asl do .7’
His farther burned some nincpins which Gus-
tavus had received as a present from his uncle,
and cut up his ball, saying that the time which
his son consumed in play, might much better
be devoted to learning a chapter from the cat.
ecism. If Gustavus was in the room with
his father, he was obliged to sit whole hours,
without moving from his seat.
By such management he made himself so
odious to his son, that he preferred lll§I.._{l,0tl'lp{1-
ny ofthe most ignorant people to that" of his
Either. When his father died, no tears of
sorrow fell from the eyes of Gustavus. ‘ I
‘rim glad ofil,’ he thought, ‘ for 1 shall be rid
of his hateful presence. I can now live as]
please.’ ‘ ,
RULE 4th.--S/row undeserved distrust of your chil-
dren, and you will teach them to hate you.
‘ I have missed part oftheinoney which you

picions whenever he missed anythiog. '
It is trne,A(lolplius,through thoughtlessness,

or he might not have observed that the iner-
cliant gave him too little ; or he might really
at previous times have been guilty of taking
small things, but no one could ever justly
charge him witha base design, and he has
long since given up the habit altogetlier. —

AN AFFECTING SCJQNE.
From various districts in South Carolina,
where society has been most convulsed with
political COl'lll'OVCl'SlCS,W0 have now from week
to week the glarldeniiig intelligence that strife
IS ceasing, lliat the angry bickcrings of party’
are g-ving place to christian fellowship and
love, and that _mCI1 who but a few weeks
since were most embittered cnemies,——scek-
iiig car;/t 0.’/icrs lives.--arc embracing each
other in the bonds of the gospel of peace,-
“ all bowing at the same altar, praying for
l/iemselucs and each other."
Among the places visited and benefitted by
. these benignant influences, is VValterboi'ough.
Two gentlemen, whose story will be found
below, and whose names are appended to the
article from which we extract, have given
through the Charleston Observer, the follow
ing interesting statement :
“ The effect of this revival on this commu-
nity has been inconceivable. It had been re-
markable for its vice and dissipation for many
years. During the past summer and present
autumn, too, amidst the unhappy civil con-
vulsions of our beloved state, the spirit of
party run very high and strongin this village.
It became nngry and rancorous, pervading e-
ven the domestic circles ofsociety, estranging
friends, and engeiidering bitter accusations,
and the most deadly hostilities. Yes the wri-
ters of this can bare ample testimony to this
fact. But avery short time before this mee-
ting, they were both engaged, in direct viola-
tion ofthe laws ofman, and the most solemn
commands ofGod, in practising with deadly
weapons to destroy the life ofa fellow citizen,
who has since happily with themselves, by
the grace of God, been brought from sin to
life eternal. Yes one of them went so far as
to appear on the field, of what the world calls,
“ honor," to shed a brotlier’s blood. Yes,
all present at this meeting can well remem-
her to have seen these deadly foes, all bowing
at the samit-altar praying: for themselves and
mr eacn usher. i hey are now all perfectly
brotherly; female disputes have an been re.
conciled,-espiritual coiiversations have taken
the place of political discussions ; and ha.-mo.
ny, virtue and piety, have succeeded to dis.
cord, vice and irreligion-—-and we ask what
has Produced l-his change---this wonderful
change. We appeal to the reflectmg, the
Candi l, the honorable mind, and ask, could
any earthly agent have accomplished these
results ? No, Emp/zalically Jvo. It was the
result ofthe religion of Jesus Christ ? There
is evidently a divinity in it. and it must go on
from “ conquering to conquer."
Pressure of sand against walls.--—-Loose
sand, enclosed between two walls, acts as a
wedge, and will ultimately force out the weak-
er wall of the two. A limekilzi was built
some few years ago ; at a sea-port: town, and
in order to prevent an ornamental exterior of
calcareous stone from being affected by the
heat, a double wall was contrived, having a
space of four inches in the centre, filled with
sand. The shaking occasioned by the carts
passing near. caused a gradual settlement of
the sand, und_ before long the external wall
gave away in all directions. Loose earth pro-
duces the same etfect, but in a less degree;
and it is observable that walls built against
banks of eartli,though they resist the pressure
perfectly well at first, yield to it by degrees
and ultimately fall, whenever the earth is of
a crumbly nature. ‘ The formula; for calcula-
ting the necessary thickness of such walls,
does not take into account this singular wedge
like property ; indeed, it might be difficult to
assign any force equivalent to so extraordinary
a pressure, where dry loose sand is the sub-
stance of the soil.
T(.)'UGI~l.—-A writer in a St.Clairsville,0bio,
paper tells the following story as every word
true ‘ .
“ In Nov. 1827, then living in Harrison
county, Ohio, I killed a large hog and dressed
it on the face of a large red oak st'ump. In
the March following I observed most of the
bristles left on the stump from dressing the
hog, to be sticking into the wood endwise—
and on pulling them out,I found to each bris-
ile two or three roots from 1-2 to 3-4 of an
inch long, having actually commenced a ‘ve-
getable growth.”
The writer of this curious piece of natural
history must be the same man of whom it is
_told that: on a certain time_ when slaughtering
a hog in the woods, he lost hisjacknife, which
dropped among the dried leaves; and in the
following summer happening to pass the same
place, he-was surprised to sue a large bush
covered with jacknives, which hung depen-
ding from the stems like fruit.
