PITTSTON GAZETTE.! by wrapping a picce of iron shaped as indicated hy the name with iusulated wire, and by means of a battery causing a constant current of galvanism to pass through the wire. This current of galvanism thus made to pass around the metal, makes it a magnet, whose power will be in proportion to the strength of the current and the number of circuits it makes. It was the power of this magnet to change the polarity of the needle that made it of service to Professor Morse. This is in fact, the principle on which the telegraph proceeds. of a law regulating, the rotations of the planets on their axes. The laws of Kipler apply only to the annual revolutions of the planets, without any reference whatever to their rotations. The first announcement that any such law existed, was made at a meeting of the American Association for the advancement of science, a little more than a year since.— This discovery was the result of a series of years of close observation, and severe mathematical study, and will write the name of Kirkwood in the annals of astronomical discovery by that of Kepler, Herschel, and Laplaoe, as it has already written it among the Grecian gods and godesses after whom the planets are Galled. It seems that by the application of this discovery the size and revolutions of the lost planet which had its place between Mars and Jupiter has been computed to the (satisfaction of astronomers, and they have given to it the name of Kirkwood. A COURSE or FRENCH SPROUTS Feeding Stock bD Winter. In the distribution of the winter'* supply of fodder, the coarser and poorer kind* should be reserved till the coldest weather —the appetities of the animals being then sharpest, it will be eaten with least waste. Those farmers who are not *1 ready provided with cutting machines, will do well to procure them. Their use is attended with considerable economy. Coarse hay, straw, or cornstalks, are, by being passed through a cutter, brought into a more convenient, form for mastication, and substances are cnten which would otherwise be rejected or only partially consumed. Cutting affords an opportunity for mixing fodder of - inferior quality with that which is more ; palatable; thus inducing the stock to eat that which would not be eaten by itself. Cutting also affords the most convenient means of mixing meal that its nutriment is thoroughly extracted by the animal. The feeding of laboring animals on cut food allows them more time to rest—the cutting performing, in a great degree, the work of chcwing and preparation for digestion. But it should not be attempted to feed stock with substances which are chiefly destitute of nutriment. The large sour butts or cornstalks are little else than woody fibre, and can be oTlittle or ao use in supporting nnimsl life. Where a cuttcr is worked by horse-power, it may be an object to cut such articles for the convenience of working them into manure. Those of our readers who are (and we hope they are few) addicted to the worship of "the Rosy Deity" otherwise General Otard, need not be told that there are divers persons in this world known ascrackereaters, or ringers-in ; "good company" sor t of people, and generally interesting companions—for having nothing to do, they read all the daily and weekly papers over and over, and are perfectly booked, up, as the saying goes, in the events of the day.

GentUmen of ike PitUtm Lyceum:— The invitation to deliver your introductory address, was to me a source of peculiar pleasure. Not simply on account of the honor I am sensible it conferred on me hut principally, beceause from it I learned that an association had actually been formed in Filtston whose object was intellectual improvement. We have felt tlie need of some intellectual stimulus, and have looked forward with interest to the formation of such an iissocation. Business has to such an extent occupied the time ar.d attention of our citizens, that we were in danger of forgetting that God has endowed us with intellectual natures that we are bound to cultivate and that he is opening around us in rich abundance the wonders of his creation for our observation and study. The development of piur mineral wealth and" business facilities has tended to direct our attention from the mine richest of all in high and noble enjoyments. Anassciation for intellecual improvement is just what we need, and what we trust and believe your Lyceum will supply. Not, however, without zeal and persevering effort. Let these bear some proportion to the importance of the work you have undertaken, aim continually to extend the circle of your influence and let your standard of improvement be as high as your oljject is noble. ADDRESS. The magnetic telegraph is not strictly the discovery of one man : it is the discorery of the age, the result of the advanced state nnd rapid progress of the science of electro megnetism, nnd is probably but the beginning of results equally wonderful and practical that this department of science is destined to unfold. To-day is its birth ! anil we hail at the hearth, As we happily gather around it— We hail with a smile the hopes that beguile The future, that seems to surround it. The future, ah. yes, 'tis this that we bless, And hope gilds the sky of the morrow, And long may its ray illumine our way, And long may it dissipate sorrow. A certain hotel, or liquor, up town, has a nice coterie of these choice ducks, who are never absent, except in case of business, and never, "take the shingle off the roof' by refusing a toddy when asked. Indeed, a man must not attempt to lake a drink at the bar they patronize if he has not more than a quarter of a dollar, if he knows one of the party, for they are one and indivisible. There i* a strong disposition in this age and it is almost peculiar to it, to turn every discovery to some useful purpose. Franklin was among the first that was willing to acknowledge Ihnt such was his disposition. After he had succceded in bringing lightning from the clouds, by means of a kite, he conceived the idea of protecting dwellings by means of finely pointed metnlic conductors, and wrote the same to the Scientific society of Loudon. When the letter was read before the society there was a general laugh among its members, and so strongly did they express themselves against the folly of such an idea, that it was some time before Franklin's lightning rod cou Id be used in Great Britain. Bui wliut would the members of that society have thought had he told them that in the year 1850, sciencc would lay her hand on the lightning's " fiery wing" and make it do her bidding—that wires would be extended through our rivers, across our valleys and over our mountain tops from one end of our land to the other, through which our congressmen would speak almost with the same breath to the whole nation,—that England and France would be made peaking neighbors by a wire across the English channel, with a prospect of soon being brought as near to the far off Eastern world, and that a proposul would actually bo made from a responsible source, to stretch a wire across the Atlantic through which thenuw and old worlds might converse as friend with friend. Instead of laughing at his folly, their pity would have been esteemed the wild ravings of a maniac. A new era has dawned on science, and the opening of the arcana of nature has turned scepticism into wonder and admiration, and made us feel that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. In this age sciencc has dared to look into the depth of the earth, and from the buried relics of primeval life has sl.o.vn to man how short has been his sojourn on earth, compared with that of the brutes that perish. Lovers of the Bible for a time trembled lest the dcvelopeinents of science in this direction should falsify the word of God. But that word bad nothing to fear. It can have nothing to fear from the cause of truth in any direction. We feel no disposition to stop the researches of the geologist or the naturalist. Galileo by his ablo defence of the Copeinican system was thought to endanger the truth of the Bible, and by the tribunal of the Inquisition was condemned to three months imprisonment in Rome. He was afterwards compelled, 011 his knees, with his hand on the Bible, to renounce the doctrine he had taught, and that we now all confidently believe, viz.: that the earth and planets revolve around the sun. lie had scarcely arisen from his knees when he reasserted his belief in the same doctrine, for which he was sentenced to the dungeon of the inquisition for au indefinite period. But the age which imprisoned the veteran philosopher is past. The sun of science that in his day had but begun to gilil the horizon has arisen in his strength and glory, and his beams have added, and will continue to add clearness and beauty to the temple of God's eternal iruth. The revelation which God has made in his works can never contradict the revelation he has made in his word. They must, when properly understeod, help to explain each other, for the same God who built the universe, inspired the men who wrote the Bible. On this festival day let us turn to survey The path over which we were stray ing, And behold anew in a calm review, The year that is now decaying ; For there 'is Something meet again to repeat A tale of bliss or of glory, And a sweet delight absorbs lis quite, In a pleasing twice-told story. A French gent of our acquaintance, at present going through a course of sprouts in Gotham, found the acquaintance of one of the coterie we have referred to, and was always with him when his occupation would allow it. Monsieur had funds, and did not- hesitate to spend them when it would conduce to his own or his friends' enjoyment; but he was decidedly nervous whenever a "crowd" was rushed upon him, or, to use his own phrase, "did the what you call ring in." C?n the morning following Thanksgiving day we met our French friend at coflic, and, as usual, asked after his health. The Spring, Oh the Spring came early to bring Tilt the birds and tlie (lower*.' Tlie )n tghl' mellow morn, and the yellow com, Aiytguily to deck the bower* ; And «li nature smiled as the guy young uliild Went rambling mead mid mountain, }C\ ery flower opes its golden cups Ffwii) ln r footsteps by tlie fountain. Attention should be given to keeping all animals, as much aa possible, in • condition congenial to their habits. Their comfort should be consulted in regard to both food and shelter. Undue exposure to cold not only require* a greater amount of food to sustain the system, but it prevent* the natural secretions, and actually waste* the bodily tissues. The most proper temper*, ture is that which would be -naturally sought by the animal.—Sheep may be *1. lowed to take shelter or not at their opinion, and this liberty may be given to *11 stock, which it is not necessary to fasten in stables * portion of the time. Close quarters are probably preferable for animals which it is designed to fatten, in order to prevent the loss of thCir flesh by Very free and wild was the beautiful child, Ami coy, n.s bC amy is ever— She fell with tier charing jjito olCl Winter's arms, And then was caressed by the Summer— Warm Summer took pride in bis fair vouug bride, And speedily .Were they united, And a tuneful dove,, in the sliaded grove, Was by when their vows were plighted. I have selected as the theme of some remarks not inappropriate for an Itroductory address before your Lyceum—" The Age of Science.'' Tlio rapid development, the general understanding and the practical application of scientific principles in this age, entitle it, we believe, to the honor of being thus distinguished. This age has indeed been fruitful in mesmerism, electro-biology, and kindred delusions, but it has been abundandant in rich and substantial gifts of science to art. To the miner it has given a little safety lamp, which. proves a sure protection against those fire-damps—explosive gases, which have long been the , miners' terror nnd which have proved fatal to so many thousands of them. The discovery many appear to be a very simple one, and so it is when we see it, as Columbus said to his friend who thought it a very easy matter to make an egg stand ou its end. It is easy now to surround a blaze with n thin gauze wire that will admit inflainable gas and at the same time prevent that which is external to it from igniting; but the discovery was the result of the most pro. found knowledge of scientific principles. Sir Humphrey Davy has contributed largely to the advancement of science, but no discovery of his is of more importance to humanity tban this. That little safetylamp with gauze wire and coil of plati* uum will hand down to nations yet unborn the name of Sir Humphrey Davy as one of the greatest benefactors of his race.— If we have not yet learned to prise it, it may be because the coal mines of Pittston are not as old as those of Great Britain. •' Bud—-bad" said Monsieur. "Indulging, perhaps, yesterday," we ventured to suggest. " Vciis—indulge I sacre rnon do Dieu ! I have drink more cognac than a gallon." " Indeed ? you must have been very merry at a dinner, 1 suppose 1" Oh, loo!; on the piuin at the \yllo\v grain, And the iherc now reaping ; Hear the harvest-bong as they move along— livery stroke the cadence keeping ; Itear the sounding flail and the whistling quail, AiuJ see the old farmer sow ing, And the laboring steeds, that bury the seeds, Which soon ure green and growing. " Dinne ! No, by dam ! I have no dinne, no sonper, I spend all my lashong for brandy and eul no ling." "Why, that was silly enough; how came }'ou to do thai 1 SW the vqirrrel's glt-e on the hickory tree, As he heaps the mits together ; Kvery roving bird overhead is heard, AC it flie.«r for warmer weather ; And the leaves'of the waod full info the flixtd, Whilst the pine moans sad and solemn, And the hills k) fair, are linked and bare, lies (leaking returning Autumn. " Veil, I tell. I go into Opera, where I spend two dollar. Then I meet one frien', lie aslie me drink, end I go wid him to Rob, you know. We take two glass, lie pay shilling, and we go book la Opera. Ver well. The curtail) go down and I ash my friend will lie drink ? lie says yeas; and we go to Bob a second time. What will you drink soir? 'Brandy,' say he, and I call to Bob for two glass brandy. My frien' got lots friens, two, seven, five, twelve, and wc just got our glass when they all come up, shake hands ver cordial, and bo introduce two, six, five, twelve of his friens to me.—What shall I do ? 1 have but half dol! here by fourteen drink —fourteen sixpence!—and zare is twentyfour to pay for za all drink ! I need not ash zrm, za not monest!—no !" In this age rapid progress has been made in every department of knowledge ; other ages, however, have produced as profound men, an3 been marked by as brilliant discoveries. The novum organum of Francis Bacon is still the alpha and omega of science, and the principia of Newton without a parallel for depth and originality of investigation ; but this is the age when the minds of men are turned to the development and application of the great principles of science. No other could have produced an Alexander Humbolt, or have laid on the altar of scieuce so rich a gift us his cosmos. The recent attempts to apply electricity to locomotion, promise success ; and from some experiments recently performed in Washington and reported in the newspapers, it is prophicied that this power is destined at no distant day to take the place of steam. 1 have no doubt but a power of this kind sufficient to drive our rail cars and steam boats may be obtained, but it would not be a powor sufficiently economical to take the place of Steam. The metals and the acids on which the battery feeds cost too much in comparison with the coal and water by which steam is generated.muscular exercise ■D Very True. True religion is not a matter of mere feeling and strong emotion, but a matter of judgment, and conscience, and practical 9 principle. You must recollect that the minds of men are variously constituted as regards susceptibility of emotion. Some |iersons are possessed ot far livelier feel, ings than others and are far more easily moved ; we sec this in the common sub* jects of life as well as in religion. One man feels as truly the affection of love for his wife and children as another whose love is more vehement, though he may not fondle, caress and talk of them so much; he may not even suffer those paroxysms of alarm when anything ails them, nor of fran. tic grief they are taken from him ;-but he loves them so as to prefer them to all others, to labor for them, to make sacrifices for their comfort and really to grieve when they are removed. His love and grief are as sincere and practical, though they are not boisterous, passionate and noisy; his principle of attachment is as strong, if hia passion be not so ardant. Passion depends on constitutional temperament, but principle does not. Mere emotion, therefore, whether in religion or other matter*, is ao ' test of the genuineness of affection. Oi,J \Y»t«'s come lDack. alia anil ulack ! A jolly Mil fellow, very, W ith his ico and snow. Oh away wc go, Aiid he makes us feci so merry ; Hale and good is hu li»r he laughs at our glee, With the skates and snow.balls playing; And he loves to hear us shout New Year, And lie |Dacks us off a sleigh ing. There's a joke in his eye so cunning and sly, II# will often make you wonder— L *)kout for his wiles when lie jestingly smiles, He will hoax you as sure as thunder; The young lover's bride, as they gaily glide To the wedding,'white hills over, He will bito her nose while he pinches her toes And laugh at the jealous lover. We have our great men, and not a few either, but the spirit of the age does not suffer her leaders to be far in advance— neither do they show a disposition to be.— Of Sir David Brewster it is said—" like Francis Arago he has popularized science. He has placed its instruments in the hand of laughing childhood, and has rtftidered its language intelligible to the least educated enquirer." Voltaire asserts that during the life time of Newton there were not twenty men in Great Britain that comprehended his works, and there is a measure of truth in the assertion. There was no disposition in his ago to popularize science. The remark ofNewton to the King, that there is no royal way of mathematics) is true—yot there is such a thing as teaching, explaining, simplifying truth. Otir philosophers understand it, and do not disdain to shed the lustre of their discoveries on the most humble enquirers after truth. The experiments of Ampiroya French philosopher, on the properties of the magnetic needle and magnetic currents led hiin to believe that the earth itself was a great magnet, around which currents of electricity wero constantly passing, and that these currents, and not a great magnetic stone at the north pole, gave direction to the needle. All subsequent experiments on the same subject tend to confirm his opinion. He supposed tho magnetic currents to pass from east to west on the surfaco of the earth, and to run around the magnotic needle. Now it is the property of magnetic currents to arrange themselves in the same direction with each other, therefore the needle will be in an unsettled state, or to borrow a word in a state of " in rest" until the currents circulating around it find themselves running in the same direction with thoso of the earth. " Well, how did you get out of the scrape ?" we ventured to enquire. Science has laid her hand on our forests and inland streams, on the bowels of the earth and the waters of the ocean, and developed a power and taught its application that has proved among her richest gifts.— A power that drains our coal mines, lifts our coal and carries it throughout the world, that grinds our grain, manufactures our clothing smelts our ores, rolls out the iron rails that encircle our land and drives our carriages with the speed of the bird,— that navigates our rivers and lakes and makes a high way across the mighty deep in spite Of wind and wave. And this rich gift, science, we proudly claim in part for our own land. A knowledge of the power of steam is not new. It is as old as the use of the domestic teakettle. We refer, however to its application to useful purposes. To the Marquis of Worcester belongs the honor of constructing the first steam engine." Mr. Wall, of Glasgow, made the first great improvement in it, but toour«own Robert Fulton belongs the honor of constructing the first successful steamboat. The names of Fitch, Rumscy, Livingston, Stevens and others are intimately associated with this grand discovery, but to Fulton belongs the honor of having first taught the world the art of successful steam navigation. That there should be many ppposing claims is not a matter of wonder. They are thd result of libraries, schools, a general understanding of the principles of science and experiments looking to the same object. Now the sound of tho steam engine is heard all over the world, and the principles on which this power was developed and applied are understood by every tyro in scicnce. " How I got out ?" repeated the Frenchman : " Vy 1 gCjt out all my fifty cert and put him down to za feet Jintlehomme what you call Bob—very nice fel, zat Jintlehomme you call Bob), and I say 'eight.'

With might in her right and right in her might, Karth offers thee fondest devotion ; For thy stripes that sail on the flying gtklo, With a gorgeous light arc streaming) And the bird of the sky of the fiery eye, Hears a terror iu his screaming. In the heavens the eye of science appears to have but begun to make discoveries. New Planets mid Satellites arc continually being added to our solar system. The mammoth telescopes of Herschel and llosse are opening up almost a new heavens. Discovery follows discovery so rapidly that we learu with comparative indifference that a new ring of spturu. has been discovered, that a lost planet has been brought to light, and that Lcverriere has taught the world how tho position of a planet never seen may be definitely ascertuined. A discovery of which he may well bo nroud, and for " hich the astronomical world may be thankful has recently been made by a teacher in ihe Pottsville Academy, which has been classed by the most scientific men of the age, both in Europe and America, with those of Kepler and Newton. I have not time now to enter on an explanation of it j neither do I feel myself competent. The calculations involved in it are unintelligible to all not familiar with the higher mathematics. The following statement on the subject, which is free from algebruic language, is from his own pen. We are as yet however, notwithstanding all the progress that has b«en made in bringing to light the laws that reign jn this great cosmos, only on the threshold of discovery, a widening, unexplored field of investigation still lies before us. Like Moses from the tops of Pisgah we have only a distant view of the promised land, hut unlike him wc may enter in and possess it. Now we have a glimpse of the wisdom, power and glory that shines in the works of Him "who bindeth the sweet influences of the Pleiades, and looscth the bands of Orion, and qulckeneth A returns With his sons." Hereafter the veil shall lDe withdrawn, and that which is now dark shall be mude light.
