And yet, near yonder cloud, behold * The larlc is soaring in the sky ! * Why is ho there at such an lour t Tho twilight creeps the vale along, The drowsy bee now quits the flower, The thrush has closed his vesper song.

Hark! how the little minstrel sings Among the golden clouds of even, While up he springs on trembling wings As if his spirit were in heaven. Is it ambition calls him there. And prompts so sweet a song to flow ! Ah ! no. ah no, 'tis all for her Who nestles in the vale below. For her lie mounts the clouds among, For her attunes his melody? And thus, my love, expressed in song, Is all that I can give to thee 1 Suggestion to Mechanics as to the Proper Employment of their Leisure Hours. I noticed in the last issue of the Inventor an invitation to mechanics to contribute to your valuable Journal, articles of general inter st to that class of your readers. I do not know that I cau send anything that will be particularly interesting, but I am going to try, and you may 'prent' what I send, or not, as you shall judgo proper. Mechanics, as a general thing, sadly neglect their own interests by not 'reading themselves up,' in their several professions. The mechanics thinks and lecls (and rightly too,) that after the toil of the day is over, lie needs some recreation to compensate him for his close application to business. But the difficulty lies in the recreations. I j have heard it said, and I think it true, ' that anything which will direct the | mind to,any other channel than the one ( which has occupied it through the day, will tend to recreate it. It is tho same with the body. The carpenter will shove his plane all day, and then walk two miles to his home, and feel fresher than when j lie left his work. I once had an invitation to join a j gymnastic club which met two evenings in a week. The reply I gave < was, that my labor of ten hours a day : was work enough for me. My friend j said that the exercise in the club room ] actually relieved him of all weariness. ( Now, I think that after the toil of the day, if the work is sedentary or conlining. a walk of a mile or twe, and then an hour or two spent in reading-first, the news of tho day, then some ( scientific work, of which there arc L <v.anf rtn subieets within the I i y ?^ reach of the working man?would be a recreation to both body and mind.? Too many mechanics choose for recrea- 4 tion, places of resort, where they not only throw their time awav, but much ' of their money, and oftentimes their health. ! The money end time thus throw away, would be sufficient to purchase all tho scientific works that the mechanics , would need, and at the same time his j mind would be stored with useful knowledge. It is not to be supposed, J that the mechanic will vie with those who make learning their life's business; but we can take the advantages which are presented to us by those ? who have devoted their life to study, and have placed the fruits of their la- f bora before tho world. The mechanic \ can get tho general principles of all! t tho sciences, which have a tendency j to elevate hiin in the scale of society, J by a little extra exertion in the way of, j economizing his leisure hours. . | One dollar a month will, it rightly j J " 1 ?nil ?li/i Krvnlro nml < applied, pilI'UIIUSW 4?l? ?>?V> I...V* | j papers that the mechanic can profita-! bly peruse airl digest, and furnish a fund of information that would astonish a person who is not in the habit of reading. I will venture to say, that two thirds of the mechanics of this country spend twice that sum in a way that is not only profitless, but positively injurious. The mechanic will find a course of > reading not only interesting and recreative, but be will find it a money , making business. The wellread me- < chanic will always command at least 1 one third Jiigher wages than those who do not read, unless to peruse some MovesicU' romance, tilled with disgust- r ing tionsense. I never heard of an inventor who was not well read in the c general principles of the sciences. I ? think such a one would Ikj a great anomaly. The reading mechanic is much more observant of passing events than th'j anti-reader. When something is read that is new to him, he takes the first opportunity to 6ce if the book or paper is true, and so bo accu- ( inulates ideas, and many new ones (to ( him at lenst> may originate from his * brain jw The free laboring mechanic ia the steam-engine of the world; then how necessary that all its parte be well fitted, that the governor, Science, may have full control of the mighty structure. The mechanic may, and I be lieve yet, will take his place among the highest in society, lie does not vet see what he mav bo, if he will only make tho trial. Then arouse, brother mechanic 1 and commence a coarse of reading in the Arts and Sciences, and I will wager a volume of The Inventor, that you will not regret it. It will bring information to your mind, health to your body, and money to your pocket. It will give you a character among men, that will enable you to stand with tho proudest of them. It will give you the power to converse readily on different tonics which may come up beforo you when in company or elsewhere. Now is a good time to begin ; the long evenings are close at hand. Got the right kind of books and journals, and I will warrant, you wilt find it to be a paying operation at the end of the year. mOTMBMSIT'S QM57~ A California Love Letter.?A copy of a letter that was picked up in the streets in Marysville, Cal., not long 6ince : Mariesville july fore 1856.
