For if ye give not heart for heart, A ti ? i j /is wen as iianu iur uauu, You'll find you've play'd '.he 'unwise' part, And built upon the sand. 'Tis well to save, 'tis wt 1! to have A goodly store of gold ; And hold enough of shining stuff, For Charity is cold. Cut place not all your hope and trust In what the deep mine brings; We cannot live on yellow dust Unmixed with purer things. And he who piles up wealth alone, Will often have to stand Beside his coffer chest and own 'Tis built upon the sand. 'Tis good to speak in accents kind, And soothe where'er we can ; Fair speech should bind the human mind, And love like man to man. But stay not at the gentle words, Let deeds with language dwell; The one who pities starving birds 'Jan scatter crumbs as well. The Mercy that is warm and true Must lend a helping hand, For those who talk yet tail to do, But buiid upon the sand.

Whilst-passing Hillen-street bridge he was encounted by a rutiian of the O'Bludgeon order, who enquired the time of night. "It just struck eleven," said the stranger bland- ! ly, without any signs of alarm. "Eleven did you say ?" was the gruff response. 'As I don't believe its so late, I'd like to see for 'mys If; so pu 1 your watch out qu'ck. It looks , as if it might be a good one from the big bunch ' of seals you've having to it."

A Word to Pooh Young Men.?A sagacious old man said to a poor yuiingfriend of his : "Never despair, never be idle, never stop trying." That is a piece of advice which every poor man should act upon, if he desires to occupy a res pec table place in the memory of his fellow men.? ?1 m11*?n ntif.nrr nnrl rfvmi'M<rr? pmrklmiAil enn ,,v"r.' o t 1 stitute the gate way through which many a poor and almost friendless youth has entered the Temple of Fame. The poor young man must depend on his own efforts, if lie expects to acquire for himself "a name the world will not willingly let die." lie should not be afraid to think, to judge, to decide, to act for himself. A timid mind is always inactive, and is sure to acquire a habit of indecision which weakens its powers ; while the bold, strong mind leaves an impress which is sure to command the respect of all whose good opinion is worth having. Let not the poor young man be discouraged in his efforts to attain intellectual elevation. Many of I the brightest luminaries in literature and science. I of which this or any age can boast, have sprung from the humble walks of life. The road to fame is just as free to the poor man, as it is to the richest individual in the country, and it is his own fault if he does not exercise that inestimable privilege. We know that many and varied difficulties beset the path of him who starts from the ranks of poverty to win, by his own exertions, a name and a place among the giant intellects of the country, and that he does not receive that encouragement from the honored of the land which he should, to persevere in his noble task. But it' he pursue an undeviating course of integrity and virtue, he must and will gain the respect and esteem of his fellow men, so long as these qualities are commendable in man. Young man, whatever be your circumstances in life, whether wealth pours her glittering treasures into your lap, or poverty's grim visage stares you in the face at every step, remember that where there is a will there is a power. If you arc determined to reach the topmost round in Fame's ladder, you can do so. You have the nw.nl.llnnf / ,<" f?i,|. ??n /K'SfmV. T? liblStic l)C Iiiuuniuip ??i v.... ...

It has always a] pcired to us, that in many , parts of our country the rich beds of iron, coal, j and lime, lying so near to one another, alfordrd advantages for the manufacture of iron of as good j a quality, and at as little cost, as it can be made i in any country in the world. One of the most j extensive iron makers of Great Britain, while on ' a visit to this country a few years ago, made it a special part of his business to travel extensile- j K. At..m!nn * h/x *1 i fV ?f/l? I f ll-all Vl'ArL'Q 111 QPVP IV fllJW UAHlllHlfs UJV, UiUi.iv.in/ uwu v? uw IM WW ral States. The conclusion at which he arrived ' was, that we were perfectly blind to our own in- j terests in the mode of conducting the making of j iron, and that it could be made us cheap, if not i cheaper, in various places in America than in j England, if the business was well managed. it is not fur us to point out where the defect lies, because it is so easy to lose money in the ; manufacture of iron, from bad management, that. one maker in the same district in England will I be making good dividends, while his nearest i neighbor in the same field will be losing mo- j ney. Our object is principally to bring to j notice a very great improvement which h.as been j - " i r i l I made in the manufacture or iron oy josepn ui.\- j on, Esq., of Jcrsy City. A specimen of plate j iron made by the new process lias been left at our office for inspection by E. L. Norfolk. This plate is perfectly free from flaws, and all those imperfections of unequal texture, which belong j to all the plate wrought iron we have examined. We understand that the process is but little more expensive (if any) than the present mode of ma king plate iron, and yet so beautiful and uniform in texture is the surface, that it will make h splendid plate for the engraver's art. For boiler iron especially, this improvement appears to be a grand remedy for defective plates, bv which so many accidents have been caused, two of which with sad results, have taken place near this city during the present year. In the interior of boiler plates there are often times blisters, which sooner or later lead to an accident, if nuli^--! --1 -VII <>.. to ? sum*- u\. understand that no blister nor flaw can possibly exi.-t in plates manufactured by the new process. They arc therefore mucli .stronger than the common one?, for no boiler is stronger than the weakest part of it. Iron is perhaps the inost sensitive of all metals; it is afteotecTfor good or evil, in its manufacture, by very minute impurities and inattention. It is our opinion that the iron manufacture is far, very far, from having attained to any-1 iliimr !!trfi norii Minn. We hone that as tnanv! -* I - I , . j of our people who have time, opportunity ami means, will devote part of tlu-ir attention to experiments for improving its manufacture both as it respects quality and the reduction of cost. [Scientific American. TMEEMI'IKE lili-ESTABL1SI1 ED IN FHAXCE.?TIlC Steamer Hermann ariived at New York on the 24th, having left Liverpool on the 10th ult.

Cheerfulness.?O, how we love a cheerful sun-shiney face. It is perfectly refreshing to meet a cheerful man with his face covered all over with a broad honest smile. Such a face is always an index to an honest, generous and kind heart, within. The very atmosphere in which such a man moves, breathes cheerfulness, and all about liiin are happier for his presence.

To the drooping moping invalid, the companionship of such a man is worth more than all the drugs in Christendom or even a voyage over the waters." Cheerfulness is the secret of good health. The old saying of "laugh and grow fat," is full of philosophy. The cheerful man dont complain and growl because the weather is too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry; but thinks it will all soon be right again. lie laughs because he is cold, or because * ?- *' ??*1 1--..4 TI'iKA mQrl/al Jc ho isaiinosi meumg wun iiu?w. aimv.?vw . > dull, lie is glad that lie has suld his produce before the price fell or if he has not sold, lie thinks there will be a change in the market?the price better before ho sells. And should it happen that he has to take a low price at last, he laughs at himself for being bit, for it is " as well to laugh as ?:ry.." Such a man is generally honest, and always generous. lie laughs at his own disappointments rises above trifling difficulties; his mind is not forever employed in lamenting his own troubles, and consequently ho has time to consider the necessities and sufferings of others ?a soul capaiious enough to sympathise with j those iu distress, and a hand liberal enough to ' suj ply their wants.

He adds one more to the long array of talents ami notorieties ranged against a government unable to meet tl.em with even the average amount of mediocrity. It is impossible for his contemporaries to hear with indifference the voice of a man to whose verdict posterity will listen with respect, and whose opinions, far more than those of the busiest and most influential politicians of the day, will form j the judgment of posterity.

Death of a Preacher in the Pulpit.?On Sunday evening, 31st October, the Congregation at the Weslerati chapel, Forton, Cattaraugus, county was thrown into great excitement by the alarming and sudden demise of Mr. James Culvert, of Ileislington, whilst reading the beautiful parable given in the 15th chapter of St. Luke's (Jospol. They were listening witn tne deepest attention evidently moved with the simple and tbcrible passage of Scripture contained in the chapter in question, when, after uttering the words, "I will arise and go my?" the preacher exclaimed, "Oh ! my dear friends !" fell down in the pulpit, and almost immediately expired. A>. AGGRAVATED " MoCK AUCTION*" C.YSE.? The N. V. Herald contains a long account of the new developments of the Peter Funks, in fleecing unsuspecting country gentlemen. A Mr. Peter Cole, storekeeper, residing at Centreville, Allegheny County, m this State, came to town a few days since, and stopped at Taylor's Hotel, Courtland street. Passing along Broadway he was en; * u-?u.-k Wing ?old. -nd a man standing near him was desirous of purchasing it, but had n.it any money with him. Mr. Cole bought it in tor Sou, tiie man promising to give him $10 for his trouble. Cole paid the $50 for the watch. He had with him an old silver watch, valued at about $7 o $8. The auctioneer said he would take it in part pay, allowing him $15 for it. lie agreed to give up his silver watch, paid the balance, $35 in bills, lie accompanied lii-i f/tend to his hotel, but there he discovered another friend from whom he was to get tho money, was not in. They went to another auction store in Chatham street, where Cole was induced to sell the watch lie had bought in for his friend. it was knocked down at $70. The purchaser li;ul but ?5 with him, which he paid down, and said lie would just step out and get the balance. .So he lost the watch he bought tor his friend at ?50, receiving for it ?5. Another watch was knocked down to Cole for ?140. Having lost ?70 on the preceding purchase, the auctioneer, with great disinterestedness, said that he would deduct that sum from the ?140, leaving him to pay but ?70, charging him but ?5 commission. He was then taken into another shop, where his Inst w.nteh was nut un to he sold : as it was ffoinrr " f I 1 t ' p , o very low. he bid it himself, and run it up to 6150, supposing it to be his own watch when he was compelled to take it. On Saturday evening, one of the same gang undoubtedly, came to bis hotel, and rogistord bis name as coming from the vicinity of Air. Cole's home. Striking up an acquaintance with him, he induced him to go to Barnaul's Museum.? Hearing of his ill luck, the stranger agreed to give him 6-00 for his purchases, which, considniinif rlir? lineertaiiitv for cettine his monov back V""C9 - ~ J ~ r> ? o lie consented to take. Next morning being Sunday his new friend met him in the bar-room, and asked if he would not like to go to see the Crotou Resorvior. lie again consented. He was taken to the llarleni Railroad, where a confede l 1 1 l - .t rate, nanusomciy aresseu, met ?iiii mem, purporting to have just returnee] from California. This California man had in hand a little box, which Mr. Cole's hotel friend was very desirous of opening. A bet of ?400 was made that there was nothing in the box. Mr. Cole's hotel friend lost. Mr. Cole lent ?208 to his friend, to make up the balance of the 400, and was given in return a worthless cheek upon the Chatham Bank, for ?1100. Mr Cole began to get tired of this kind sport, and concluded to return to his hotel. Ilis friend wished to remain and have a talk with this rich California!!, which he undoubtedly did. He thus not only lost his money and his watches, but the evidence also?so that the puiice were unable to afford him any assistance. Gekrit Smith, the Adoutionist.?The New Yurk correspondent of the New Orleans Bulletin, says: "IfCierrit Smith returns alive from Washington in 1854,1 shall say there is more forbearance among Southerners than is generally supposed. A more provoking, abusive fanatic does not live than this new representative ot Madison county. We have had Freesoilers in Congress before.? But Giddings and Hale are mild, conciliatory gentlemen by the side of this exponent of red hot abolitionism and woman's rights!" iuiercstiug Res?ajt-lii% The boundary line between Turkey and Persia, has long been in dispute. A mixed commission, embracing England, Russia and Persia, is now engaged in establishing the boundary line. A scientific American in correspondence with the Boston Chronicle, writes as follows: In the prosecution of this work the commissioners have come upon the remains of the ancient palace Shushan, mentioned in the sacred books of Esther and Daniel, the Prophet. The locality answers to the received tradition of its position, and the internal evidence, arising from 1 - .M. ll " .1 * A? ? - 1? At - us correspondence wuu me description 01 me palace recorded in the sacred history, amounts almost to demonstration. The reader can turn to Esther, ch?p. i., v. 6, there he will read of a 'pivemfcnt of red, and blue, and white,aud black marble in that palace.' That pavement still exists, and as described by Col. Williams, corresponds to the description given thus in the sacred history. And in the marble columns, dilapidated ruins, the sculpture aud the remaining marks of greatness and glory that arc scattered around, the commissioners read the exact truth of tho record made by the sacred penman. Nut far from the palace stands a tomb; on it is sculptured the figure of a man bound hand and foot, with a huge lion in the act of springing upon him to devour him. No history could speak more graphically the story of Daniel in tiie Lion's Den. The Commissioners have with them an able corps of engineers and scientific men, and most interesting discoveries may be expected. The Persian arrow-heads arc fbnnd upon the palace and tomb. Glass bottles, ele 11 .1 _ . _ !_/ .Pit. gain as tnose piaceu upon me louei laoie 01 me ladies of our day, have been discovered, with " V.v* otlier indications of art and refinement, which bear out the statements of the Bible. Thus twenty-five hundred years after the historians of . E-ther and Daniel made their records, their histories are verified by the peaceful movements of the nations of our day.
