THIS is unquestionably the most popular
work ofthe kind ever published, and a
Book most admirably atlapted to the wants of
all classes of comnrunily. The following are
the important objects which the learned author
endeavors to accomplish: ’
lst. To instruct the Manufacturer. Metal-
lnrgist, and Tradesman. in the principles of
their respective process, as to render them in
reality. the masters of their business; and to
emancipate them from astate of bondage to
such as are too commonly governed by blind
prejudice and a vicious routine.
2dly, To afford Merchants, Brokers. Dry-
salzers, Druggists, and Officers of the Revenue
characteristic descriptions of the commodities
which passthrongh their hands.
3illy. By exhibiting some ofthe finest de-
velopements of Chemistry and Physics, to lay
open an excellent practical school ofStudies of
these kindred sciences.
4thly. To Ieacli Capitalists who may be
desirous of placing their funds in some produc-
tive brancliofindustry. to select, judiciously.
among plausible claimants.
5thly. To enable gentlemen of the Law to
become wellacquainted with the nature ofthose
patent schemes which are so apt to give rise to
litigation.
6tbly. To present to Legislatures such a
clear exposition of the staple manufactures, as
may dissuade them from enacting laws, which
may obstruct industry, or cherish one branch
ofit, to the injury of many others.
And lastly, to give to the general reader, in-
tent, chiefly on Intellectual Cttllivation, views
of many ofthe noblest achievements of Science
in effecting those grand transformations of mat-
tar to which Great Britain and the United States
owe their paramount wealth, rank and power,
among the nations ofthe earth.
The latest statistics of every itnportant object
of Manufacture. are given from the best, and us-
ually, from official authority at the end of each
article. I ,

The other day when I came home,
No dinner got for me.
I asked my wife the reason,—-

I happened to be wondering one evening
through a dirty lune where the‘ operatives
- are clustered. The
opening their doors for weary thousands to
go home and I met crowds of rugged, pale
‘men women and children. There was an
air of abjectcdness and exhaustion, of st-rviie
degradation and fcebleness about very many
I saw.among' them were persons of fill ages
from the old 6:. haggard down to the children
of tender years. I stood at the corner ofa
street, and looked attbccrowdsjas tliev pas.
sed along. I observed a boy, app-ifently
ing up and dragging a pale little girl, con-
siderably younger than himself. ' Come
albng now. Jllagg . Can't you go for your
self a bit .7 l’tii about ready to give up and
can’t carry you at all.’ I took the little crea-
ture’s left hand, and the boy took the other.
and we led her to her home. The eyes of
those inthe street were turned upon me, as
though it were a strange thing to see a well
dressed person like the hand of it fainting
child. ‘ What isthe matter, my boy with
your sister .7’ ‘ She’s tired out, sir; for she’s
not used to milwork yet, and it comes hard
on ‘her.’ ‘ How many brothers and sisters
have you 2’ "l‘ht-Fe is six on us in all.-—
George is apprenticed in Preston ; and Sa-
rub, and Kite anJ Bill work in .ZlIr.—’s
mill.’ VVe turned into a very narrow, filthy
lane, and the boy pointed the way down into
abasementand said ‘Here we live.’ The
steps were steep and narrow, and I took the
little girl into nty arms, and carried her into
the cellar. The mother was lying upon a
bed of tags in one corner of the apartment.
She rose up after 1 or 2 unsuccessful efforts,
and sat on the side of the bed. The room
was nearly dark ; and what light there was
came through the door we entered, and fell
upon her lace. Her countenance looked’
sallow and consumptive, her check was fe-
verish, and her eyes were sunk deep in her
head. I apologized for intruding. ' O sir.
said she don't. apologize for entering my cel-
far. I am glad to see any one but my hon-
gry children.’
The little girl climed upon the bed and
l:tydown,and theboy threw himself upon an
old chest, at the head of the bed, and in a
few tninutes both of them were in a sound
sleep. The widow rose up, and supporting
herself by the wall, went to the corner ofthe
roout and brought a tin cttp of gt'uel-——(oat-
meal and \-.'atcr,) and seating herself again
on the ‘bed, roused up her children to eat
their sitnple meal. She had to shake them

then: with’ un iron spoon; giving to each a
spoonful ata time. When the gruel was
gone, the still hungry children asked for
tnore. ' No. dears, said the mother, ‘you
must. go to sleep notv; you cannot have
any more to night.’ ' It's my turn to have
the cup to night, 'I‘ommy,’- said the little girl.
\Vhy Harriet, where's your feet!
Maria! standing on that stool;
It was itot made for use;
Be silent all—thrce greens, one red,
A blue, and than a pace."
Oh! the misery ofa working viife, .
With fancy work run wild,
And bands which never do ought else
For husband or for child;
Our clothes are rent, and minus strings,
My house is in disorder,
And all becatise my lady wife
Has‘ taken to embroider.
I'll put my children out to school-—
l’ll go across the sea;
My wife's so full of fancy. work.
" I‘m sure she won’t miss me;
E’eii while I write she still keeps on,
Her one, two, three and four;
l‘tn piist all patience; on my word,
I'll not endure it more.
THE GRAVE.
'I‘he boy gave it to her and crawled over to
the other side of his bed to, his night's r.cst.
The little girl licked the spoon, and then
plunged her little hand into the cup, to gather
the last particle of the gruel left. When
she handed the cup to her mother, she turned
up her eyes with a mournful expression,
asking her for ‘ one spoonful more,’ which
the poor mother refused. ‘Have you no
‘pore in the house I’ I inquired. ‘ Yes, sir
the answered, ' but only enough for us till
laturday, when the Children's wages be-
tbnie due : and I have lain the rest aside,
fir its better to have a little every day than

hive none at all.—G'lor;t/ and Shame of

The Use of Adi,-ersitg/.—It is sorrow that
makes our experiettce; it is sorrow which
teaches us to teel properly for ourselves and
for others. We must feel deeply before we
can thitik rightly. It is not in the tempest
and storm of passion we can reflect, but af-
tcrward; when the waters --have gone over
-me soul? ,- and turn the prt-ciotls gems and
rich rnerchandize which the wild wove cast
on the shore out of the wreck it had made;
—-such are the thoughts left by rt-tiring pas-
sions. Reflcction is the result of'fet-ling;
frotn that absorbing, heart tending compas-
sion for one’s self, (the most painful sensa-
tion almost of which our nature is capable.)
springs a deeper sympathy for others, aria
from the sense of weakness, and own self
Upl)|‘ttlCIll'lg', arises a disposition to be indul-
gent—to forbcat'—and to forgive—-so at least
it ought to be. \"Vhen once we have shed
those inexpressible bitter tears which lall
unregarded, and which we forget to wipe
away, oh, how we shrink from inflicting
nin! how we shudder at unltindnessl and
think all harshness, even in thought, only
another name for crueltyl These are but
common place truths, I know, which
have often been a thousand times better ex-
pressed. Formerlyl heard tbein, read them
and thought I believed them; now I feel
them; and felling I utter them as if they
were something new. Alas! the lessons of
sorrow old as the world itself. —M7s. Jame-

A Kiss in the Dar/c—-The Cleveland
Herald tells the following story, which we
copy for the benefit of affectionate young
gentlemen. It is a regular Virginia break-
down :
A young lady and gentleman were one
evening playing the ' Graces,’ and as those
acquainted with this sport know that when
the gentleman throws the hoop or. ring over
ational character ofa people whom wrong

After playing sortie time. the gentleman
threw the ring over the head of the lady. and
started for a kiss. She ran and put out the

More of good than we can tell,
More of comfort less of care,
More to eat and more to wear.

Debts much shorter, purses longer,
Hopes that drive away all sorrow,
And something laid up for to-morrow.

Ne-r Jlode of G7'ajIing.—-Mr. Down-
ing of Newburg, has lately practiced with
sttccesyi new mode of grafting, the object
being to test the quality of fruits raised from
seeds in a shorter period than would be pos-
sible by permitting such seedlings to stand
till their natural time. of bearing. 'l he
method, is to put the top of a shoot. from" it
seedling tree, or a new variety, when it. is
desirable to procure a specimen of the fruit
immediately, upon the top of a thrifty shoot
of middle aged lruit bearing tree ;- the pro-
cess being simple to take thrifty shoots
of about a quarter of an inch in diameter, tr.
cut them in a slanting manner clear throng
so as to detach about 4 inches of the top from
the rust making the line of the angle about
an inch—the stock being cut in the same man-
ner. The backs are then to be carefuly
united, and bound up with yarn, covers _
ing the whole with grafting wax to exclude
the air. By thts mode fruit may be obtain-
ed‘in a shorter period so as to test its value
at an early day--the operation being sim-
ple with scarcely a fear of failure.—Boston
