Yet it cannot be denied, that few are more benevolent and kind-hearted, than these same hard cases are. It may be because they witness so much suffering and distress, that they become accustomed, as it were, to scenes from which, at first, they turned away, unable to witness. A traveller with 8 porter behind him, bringing his luggage, presented himself at the principal Hotel at Baden, and applied for a room. Ii was at the crowded height of the season, and not a cupboard in the house was unoccupied. It has been long known, both from theory and practice, that the imperfect transparency of the earth's atmosphere, and the unequal refraction which arises from differences of temperature, combine to set a limit to the use of high magnifying pow. ers in our telescopes. Hitherto, however, (he application of such high powers was checked by the imperfections of the instruments themselves; and it is only since the construction of Lord Rosse's telescope that astronomers have found that, in damp and variable climates, it is only during a few days of the year that telescope of such magnitude can use successfully the high magnifying powers which they are capable of bearing. Even in a cloudless sky, when the stars are sparkling in the firmament, the astronomer, is baffled by influencps which are invisible, and while new satcllities are being discovered by instruments comparatively small, the gigantic Polyphemus lies slumbering in his cave, blinded by thermal currents more irresistible than the fireband of Ulysses. As the astronomer, however, can not command a tempest to clear his atmosphere, nor a thunder storm to purify it, his only alternative is to remove the telescope to some southern climate, where no clouds disturb the serenity of the firmament, and no changes of temperature distract the emanations of the stars.—A fact has been recently mentioned, which entitles us to anticipate great results from such a measure. The Marquis of Ormond is said to have seen from Mount Etna, with its naked eye, the satellites of Jupiter. If this be true, what discoveries may we not expect, even in Europe, from a large reflector working above the grosser strata of our atmosphere? This noble experiment of sending a large reflector to a southern climate has been but once made in the history of sciencc. Sir John Herschel transported his telescope and his family to the south of Africa, and during a voluntary exile of four years' duration he enriched astronomy with many splendid discoveries.—Sir D. Brewster. " Allow me gentlemen," said Curran one evening to a large party, " to gire you a sentiment. When a boy, I was one morning playing marbles in the village of Ball-alley, with a light heart, and lighter pocket. Tho gibe and jest went gladly round, when suddenly among us appeared a stranger of a remarkable and very cheer, ful aspect; his intrusion was not the least restraint upon our merry assemblage. He was a benevolent creature, and the days of infancy after all the happiest we shall »Dver see, perhaps rose upon his memory. Heaven bless him ! I see his fine form at the distance of a half a century just as he stood before me in the little Ball-alley, in the day of my childhood. His name wa», Boyse; he was the rector of Newmarket. To me he took a particular fancy. I was winning and full of waggery, think, ing everything that was eccentric, and by no means a miser of my accentricitiee ; every one was welcome to a share of them, and I had plenty to spare after having freighted the company. Some sweetmeats easily bribed me home with him. I learn, ed from Boyse my alphabet and my grammar, and the rudiments of the classics. He taught me all he could and then he sent me to a school at Middleton. In short he made me a man. I recollect it was about thirty-five years afterwards, when I had risen to some eminence at the bar, and when I had a seat in Parliament, on my re. turn home one day from the Court, I found an old gentleman seated alone in my draw, ing-room, his feet familiarly placed on each side of the marble chimney-piece, and his whole air bespeaking the conaci. ousness of one quite at home. He turned round—it was my friend of Ball-alley. I rushed instinctively into liis arms, and burst into tears. Words cannot describe the scene which followed. 'You are right, sir, you are right; the chimney-piece ia yours—the pictures are yours—the house is yours. You gave me all I have—my friend—my benefactor!' He dined with me ; and in ,the evening I caught the tear glistening in his fine blue eye, when he saw poor littlft Jack, the creature of his bounty, rising in the House of Commons to reply to a right hoaorable. Poor Boyse' he is now gone ; and no suitor had a longer deposit of practical benevolence in the Court above. This is wine—let us drink to his memory!" PRINTED AND PUBLISHED WEEKLY »T «. n.

The New York Tribune has the following account of a newly invented printing machine, « hich is expected to work a revolution in the newspaper press, and which certainly will have that effect if its capacity for work be such as is described. We, however must bo permitted to doubt, at least for the present: A. few years ago, we happened to be in the company of a number of students, from one of whom we heard the following story:It was a cold Christmas morning, in the year 18—a mcdical student, who I will call Rush Rudder, was proceeding on his way to meet some follow students in the beautiful little village of Richmond, where, forgetting books and studies, they had intended to spend the anniversary of the day which brought peace and good will to man. Passing through one of those narrow streets in the northern part of the city he met a small girl, weeping as if her heart would break. The crowd passed on without noticing her ; but when the poor student saw hfcr, his heart was touched, and he could not pass, without inquiring the cause of her grief. As she bends over the empty cradle, and in fancy brings her sweet infant beforo her, a ray of divine light is on the cherub face. It ia her son still, but with the seal of immortality on his brow. She feels that heaven was the only atmosphere where her precious flower could unfold without spot or blemish, and she would not recall the lost. But the anniversary of his departure seems to bring his spiritual presence near her. She indulges in that tender grief which soothes like an opiate in pain, all her passages and cares of life. The world to her is no longer full of love and hope— in the future, so glorious with heavenly love and joy, she has treasures of happiness which the worldly unchastcned heart never conceived. " Really, it is not our fault, sir !" said the landlord, " the season Is unusually full—" " But you should make arrangements to accommodate all who come !" Wilkinson'* Cylindrital Rotary Printing Press.—This machine in every essential point differs form all others. In form, it is simple and compact—combining the most perfect ease in movement, with the greatest power in action of any press hitherto invented. The inventor, Jeptha A. Wilkinson, of the city of Providence, has devoted much time in perfecting this extraordinary combination, which now promises a new era, if he does not effect a thorough revolution in the art of printing.

Mart! that beautiful, beautiful name, Oft have I hung on iu accents before, Yet the music and rupture are ever tlic same, If I kiss and rejieat it a thousand times o'er. " We'll see !" muttered the traveler. And beckoning to the porter to follow to follow him, and, followed by the astonished and deprecating landlord, he rushed up the staircase. Heeding the entreaties and remonstrances not at all, he entered the principal corridor, began with the first door, and opening every one that would yield to his hand, thrust in his head, and gave a scrutinizing look at the interior. It was just before dinner time, and the occupants, all making their toilet, were mostly taken by surprise. Ladies were opened upon, in stages of apparel more or less simple, and llio intruder's progress was attended by a succession of screams from princess, duchess, and othy dames equally susceptible of astonishment. All the motions of this press are rotary. The type are adapted to and brought into a pcrfect circular form, and placed on cyl. indcrs ; one of which is made to print the upper and the other the under; side of a continuous sheet of paper, which is made to pass directly through the machine aud come out, printed on both sides, folded into a convenient form, and cut off ready for delivery. All the reciprocating movements heretofore used are abandoned, and simple rotary motions substituted throughout. Consequently, the exceedingly smooth and uniform action of this press is almost exempt from the danger of getting out of order, and subject to very little wear. The bright fresh flowers with which she has decorated her room, the apartment where her infant died, are emblems of the far brighter hopes now dawning on her day dream. She thinks of the glory and beauty of the New Jerusalem, where the little foot will never find a thorn among the flowers to render a shoe necessary. Nor will a pillow be wanting for the dear head reposing on the breast of a kind Saviour.— And he knows her infant is there, in that world of eternal bliss. She has marked one passage in that book—to her emphatically the Word of Life—now lying closed on the toilette table, which she daily reads:—"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." To me it hath mini.- to others unknown, Like the b|«!I of a wizzard it deems; I hear it, »ufl murmur'd, whenever I'm alunr jtnd it cornea like a voice in my dreams. ■Oh sir,' she answered him, 'it is not for myself I care, but mother is so sick, nnd she sent nie to the tailor for whom she works, but he would not pay mc.' \But 'tia not the sound of a word that can ever Make the heart overflow with a tear, Tho' o'er that sweet name 1 could linger forever, ' Where does your mother live V he asked, utter having listened to her plain story.

Pittston, Nov. 18, 1850. The types, moreover possess in their shape a great advantage. They are so formed that they must necessarily all stand the right way, and in their action upon the paper are not subject to injury by being battered ; and thry are much less worn and disfigured by use thalj type employed in the old way. To which may also be added the important advantage of casting upon the radit of a circle, and using upon the cylinder stereotype plates exactly cor. formable to the cylinder, and made tomove like the type, completely in a circle. Horrified at this scandalous violation of propriety, such as had never before taken place in his house, the petrified nnd paralyzed landlord at last recovered himself sufficiently to seize the vehement traveler by the tail of his coat. He released himself with a blow, and the next moment, opened the door of a room in which there chanced to be no occupant. Unoccupied trowsers and boots lay about upon the chairs and floor, however, and these the traveler vigorously gathered into a heap and pitched out, over the landlord's head into the entry.—Then, seizing his portmanteau, giving the porter a piece of money, he set his hands on his hips, and stood taking breath apparently before ejecting his pur- From the St. I.ouis Reville the goblin telegraph Stick to It. When first the Lightning's stylus traced Its characters of wonder, We stood amazed as folks conversed A thousand miles asunder; But what are lightning massages From Buffalo to Xatchsz, Stick to it. Yes, that's the doctrine, and a noble, god-like one it is, too. What great common sense, what philosophy—we had almost said sublimity—is in these few words, stick to it. Ah, that's the teaching. That came from a brave throat, from a ' I will get you some medicine, which 1 hope will do you good,' said the student. ' IJut,'—' No matter about that,' said he knowing full well what she was abotit to Ballooning. Tlie Spanish papers are filled with accounts of the famous balloon, constructed by M. Montemayor, ot Madrid, which is said at last to have solved the grand probblem, of aeral navigation, independent of, and even against the winds. It is announced with as much confidence as in the sailing of an English steamer, that the Eolus, Jose Montemayor, commander, will leave Madrid on the 15th instant, and crossing the Pyrenees, will pass over Bordeaux, and traverse Prance on his way to London, whither M. Montemayor goes to pocket the reward there offered to him who shall invent the means of guiding and controlling the course of a balloon in the air. The Eolus is a clossal affair, of a capacity of five hundred and thirty thousand gallons. Upon a sort of prow is fixed a large tube, which is made by means of internal inachi) ery to inspire from the front a great quantity of air, which is forcibly ejected in the rear against the balloon. It is also provided with large wings, resembling in shape those of birds, which are made to work—accounts do not tell us how. I omit the poetry which embellishes the Spanish descriptions, comparing the balloon, puffiing and panting through the air, to the fabulous aerial monsters we read of in classical history ; for I suspect M. Montemayor's balloon will not prove much more than those monsters themselves, a real and useful creation.—The thing will be done, I have no doubt; but it will be the gradual work of many .years, and of painful experiment. Perfection like that claimed for M. Montemayor's invention is not to be reached at this one jump ; und I predict, that if thai gentleman determines to visit London, he will never get there but by •vulgar travelling on the earth's surface, by means of steamboats and rail roads.— Correspondence of Courier and Enquirer.

Ill tides every man. The sun shines on none all the time. We have known men to be down in the ditch scores of times ! yet they worked out, got a new foothold, struggled on, and at last met their highest ambition. The fact was, they were rugged, stern, manly souls, and would stick to it. And they rose brave, beautifully, triumphantly. The velocity in the movement of this press is perhaps the most extraordinary feature. Such is the astonishing rapidity with which impressions may be multiplied, that at an ordinnry speed 20,000 imperial sheets may with great ease be printed on both sides, folded and cut neatly from a continuous sheet, in one hour's time.— Thus 40,000 impressions can be made, beside the folding and cutting of the sheet, in one hour's time, by a single machine, without the aid of the human hand. Verification of • Dream. Just two weeks ago, last Saturday night, says the Boston Transcript, a young lady residing in Hanover st. in this city, retired to bed at her usual hour, and in her usual cheerful, happy frame of mind. ( After having fallen asleep, she had a frightful dream or vision. She dreamed that her brother, who was in the western part of New York, was killed, and his body horri. bly mangled in death. This dream seemed so vivid and real, and impressed her mind so forcibly, that she woke, and even rose from her bed, and walked her room, weep. But no—that cannot l« the cause livery morning a supply of food and medicine was sent to the poor woman, who under proper nourishment, rapidly improved until convalescent, and every day did the student wend his way to his patient to enquire how she did.

Another lady, who was asleep in an adjoining chamber, was awakened by her wailings, and, on going into the room to ascertain the cause, found her sitting in a chair weeping. The lady endeavored to soothe her fears, and finally persuaded her to retire once more to bed, and try to for. get the dream. The next Monday morning the young lady received a telegraphic despatch, announcing that her brother, Mr. Wise, a brakeman on the Western Railroad, had fallen from the cars on one of the freight trains near East Chatham, N. Y., and been run over, and instantly The accident happened at about two o'clock on Sunday morning, precisely, about the time of the dream. where!"

Thus the expense of numerous gangs of hands, such as are usually employed about the old press, either in printing, folding, or handling the papers, may be dispensed with; and work which hitherto has required from twelve to sixteen hands during most of the day and night, may now be performed by this machine and one hand only in the short space of two or three hours. knew not ' J have come, sir,' said she, ' to pay you for medicine received from you long " You may be shaved where you please," cried the angry landlord, " but it will not be here !

There is an admirable partition of qualities between the sexes, which the author of our being has distributed to each, with a wisdom that challenges our unbounded admiration. Man is strong—woman is beautiful. Man daring and confident—woman is diffident and unassuming. Man is great in action—woman suffering. Man shines abroad—woman at home. Man talks to convince—woman to persuade and please. Man has a rugged heart—woman a soft and tenderone. Man hosscienoc—woman Anecdote of i Jersey Girl. In the year 1777, a young woman, passing a deserted house in Woodbridge, N. J., saw through the window an intoxicated Ilessian soldier, who had strayed from his party. There being no man within a mile of town, she went home, put on men's clothes, and, armed with an old firelock, returned to the house, and took the Hessian prisoner. She 'stripped him of his arms, and was marching him to the American camp, when she fell in with the patrol of a Jersey regiment stationed at Woodbridge to whom she delivered her prisoner. Here was really a maid of honor—none of your rpilk-and.water Irlicles, who scream at a spider, and faint at the sight of a mouse !
