By what law doe* the OltNEY AT LAW pJTTSTON, PA., GROCERS, [For the Pittston Gaxeite] THE SWEETEST THOUGHT. Id the manufacture of iron, we trice the #» intelligent choice and action of inanimate mailer. The ore ia usually an oxide, mingled with clay. The coal used in the furnace, disengages the oxygen, leaving the iron, after saturating itself with carbon from the coal, to fall to the bottom, while the lime-stone used in smelting, combining with the clay, becomes what is called the flux. The oxygen seeks new companionship. The cast iron has too much carbon, and its particles are disposed to take the iorm of coarse crystals. It is, therefore, too brittle to be drawn out into the iorms of commeree. When re-heated and pnddled, it gives up the oarbon, D»»* panicles choose the fibrous form, as in bar iron. By routing this again in charcoal, the particles throw themselves again into crystals, and steel is the product. Now to this disposition, and power to crystabise, I wish to direct attention. It seems to be an intelligent effort after a higher life. It no longer seems to be particles of insensate matter, in juxta position, without purpose, but each one makes an effort to assume ill place in regular forms. Then is evident yirpose and design. It toas dull matter, but wtaa free, and circumstances favorable, asnmed beautiful crystalline forms. Bat the intelligence displayed in crystallisation is displayed, and mors clearly traced, in the primitive crystals found in the earth—in those of the snowflakes, and the general witchery of frost. Beginning with the common quarts crystals, six sided prisms, terminated at each end with .a pyramid, (which yon can readily And on the West Bluff by the stone mill,) thsee Ware once particles of matter, floating in water, or fused by heat, which, without intelligence, would, upon the evaporation of the water, or suhsidence of the heat, have been a residuum el doll earthy matter. Not so, however. They have assumed such positions, in relation to each other, as to form a translucent figure of regular sides, angles and faces. Now, by what rule was each particle led to its plaee in the body of the crystal, to the sharp lines of its edges, to the points of its angles, or the shining faces ? Who directed it where to go, and just where to stop ? Was there no thought, no intelligent action? The aube is the primitive form of at least eleven minerals, for ins tanas, common salt, lead, native gold and copper. It has six equal square sides, and has equal angles. Now when these metals were in ftision, what individual election of place must there h«ve been among the particles! What combined determination of the form and siu of the whole! 'But again, we notice that the particles of the same substance do not aheays assume the same forms in crystr llization. They are intelligent enough to be fond of variety, and, at the same time, of beauty. Calcareous ? nr, better known as feldspar, sometimes beoottes a rhomboidal prism, having four laces; sometimes six sided, and then again, a duodecahedron, or figure with twelve equal faces, such as you see in the garnet, or carbuncle. Now what determines the shape, in each individual case, which the particles shall take ? How is the question decided, whether the figure shall have four, six or twelve faces? We say there seems to be the same intelligent net ion and muImu of dttrign as that which prompts the bee to construct hifc oomb in cell! " " peach bad, grafted into the quinoe stock, gather «*• pnuaic acid for the pit, or tfa« loaf?

Does not the lad with an intelligent impulse know its own, and vigilantly guard its Awn ?

Well traveled roads lead through them, and careful observe™ abound. Guides may be found at the very gate. With little effort, and small consumption of time, you can learn all that ia contained therein. Here are the gold, the silver, and precious jewels of knowledge, which have been brought to the surface by former explorer*, and are spread, in all their beauty, before you. There are other fields, comparativelyvntraveled and unknown. There it the tangled thicket, the rocky steep, the damp glen, the deep moras*, and the gloomy forest—no well studied paths, no long avenues, so venturesome guides. Once within the enclosure, the traveler is lost; there are no landmarks—no finger boards of knowledge. Much, indeed, il known to men of the nineteenth century, but it may be reasonably affirmed that much more remain* to be diaoovered. But I do not now intend to indicate some of these department* of the unknotcn, in earthly acience, but (imply to *ay that we are doubtless living upon the smaller island* of knowledge in the sea, while the broad continents are awaiting our discovery.

It is pressed about in the ground with what it cannot use, and what it does not want. It gathers what it needs only, and rejects all the rest When ready, it horee its way through enveloping capsule, or shell, that imprisons it, and starts upward for the light. Where the seat of its life is, we do not know, but it evidently is contciout of its mission, and works with an intelligent will. It selects the right particles for its woody fibre, it constructs i(p capillary tubes for the sap, it pumps up through them for its growth, and, foreseeing when its enemy, the frost, is coming, recalls it, as much as possible, into the roots again. It makes no mistakes. It does not send particles suitable for bark, to the plsce of leaves, or particles for leaves, to the place of bark. It plans its blossoms, it clothes every petal with velvet softness, or waxen luster. It traces upon them the whiteness of marble, with the blush of the cheek, the rich red of the lips, the purple of autumn, the blue of the sky, and the gold of the oration, tod JOEL BRENT01 REAP & SPRATT. Gov. Obabt SusTAisin.—Our readers will remember that Gov. Geary, in his late annual message, called the attention of the Legislasure to the fact that the Judges of the criminal court of Philadelphia, bad released from prison more criminals within the past year, than had been legally pardoned by him, at which the judges took great offence, and that Judge Allison In subsequently charging the grand jury took occasion to reflect severely upon his Excellency. Shortly after this a case came up which gave the Attorney General an opportunity to test the question before the Supreme Court, and he took measures to do so.' The ease has been tried and the decision of the Court has been given. The Court decides against the power of the criminal court to reco&fider, modify, or remit a sentence, and thus sustains the position of Governor Geary on the subject m!i asi'i.} iliif C/\ '•»' ; r . more than one or two enbrace both kp«rtments, Mid trie* the process by which thooghts, that may be very Vagm ai first, find expression in definite and powerfully spoken words.

A Tory church - ohm w» m jew sngiaoa RDrhis Toryism, indulged himself in the luxury of revenge by drawing np a code of laws as a caricature of the laws of Connecticut. The first publication of these pretended statutes ( which never existed exoept in their author's brain and book) was in London, in 1781. The name of the splenetic exile was 8amuel Peters. Like the author of the Moon Hoax, he had a good many believers at the time. And a good many innocent people (like those, for instanoe, who think that Andrew Jackson is still alive) still believe that the Blue Laws were veritable statutes, once on the statute-books of the Nutmeg State.—Independent.

The mental qualities necessary tor efficient speech are specified at length, and full directions given for increasing their efficiency and acquiring the knowledge necessary to form a solid basis for eloquence. A mass of valuable information and suggestion is accumulated which could not easily be found elsewhere, and the whole enlivened by frequent anecdotes of speakers remarkable for their possession of the qualities referred to, or for their lack of them. The divers embarrassments and exigencies that may arise in the course of speech are discussed with a clearness of insight which implies that the' author must have met them in his own experience. Hints are given for all departments of address, from preaching to stump oratory, and scarcely any one whose manner of speech is not unalterably fixed, can (aft to find something thai may be of advantage to him.
