‘Tia heard in every whisper, Of the glatlsome stLnmer breeze, And in every blast of winter, That shakes the leaﬂess trees. "I‘is breathed when buds are bursting. lleueaih springs first sweet gale, And oh! ‘tie breathed so sadly, In atumns funeral wail. The rose that b‘ootns so brightly, hat seems to mock decay, Even on its breast is written, Passing, passing away. {’sssing away is written, On the rainbows glorious dyes, And on the sunset ulorie Thatgild the western sltics.

Tur: Buruvissi: Rusv.—A correspondent of the Calcutta Citizen, speaking of the reception of the English Embassy by the Burmese King, says, “The only thing remarkable at this interview, was an in- animate object, and that was a ruby in the centre of the pagoda crown of his Majesty. It was as large, if not larger, than a hen’s egg. and far more valuable than the great Kohiuoor; it was beauti- fully cut, and almost as round as a mar- ble. It was torn off the ear of the Karen Queen, by Alompra. It was a pendant, being suspended by a wire casing through her right car. It is of the purest water. and more than two thousand years old, if the traditions concerning it are to be believed. It came originally from Assam. and belonged to the great Garrow King, llonng So, who ruled the whole of China

India.”

A ROYAL COMPLIMI-2N'l'.—-Hel' Majesty has commanded the publication of the sermon preached by the Rev. Rr. Caird of Errol, in Craithie Church, in October fast, during her majcsty’s sojourn at Bal- moral. The sermon is entitled “The Religion of Common Life.” It is no secret about Bolmoral, (says the Glas- gow Daily Mail,) that Princeﬁlhert ex- pressed his Ii h satisfation with Mr. Caird's iilpit dgiscourse and appearance, by sta ng~that he had not heard a preacher like him for seven years, and did ‘not expect to enjoy it like pleasure in as long a. period to come.

CALIFORNIA Woot..—-If all the sheep taken to California during the past sea- son; bo intended for the production of wool, that article will soon bccotnc a sto- plc export of the Golden State. In ad- dition to the two cargoes of merino sheep, we have previously noticed as on their way thither from Australia, and a large number from Sonora, we notice in a late Los Angelos paper that upwards of fifty thousand sheep were driven across the plains of Texas to California, by the Colorado route. The southern section of the State offers admirable facilities for wool growers, and the increasing wealth of that region is having its effect in the introduction of varied industrial pursuits. '1‘he mines of the Southern counties are also more than usually productive this season; and continual discoveries of new diggings are being made there.

The Emperor Napoleon has again taken the idea of assuming actual command ofan army, and the report goes that he has stated to General Bosquet that he should accompany him to Finland in the spring. Rumour goes further and says, that the government will be administered in the Em peror’s absence by a cotnmis- sion, composed of Marshals Magran, Valiant General Canrobert, and Prince Napolen. '

Exomxn PROSICIITING -rus: was none. —The Paris Scecle takes up the question thrown out by the enemies of the alliance, as to what England would do in the insult- ingly-supposed case of desertion by France: has been said lately that England would be greittl y embarrassed if France was to retire from the struggle, and were, after having saved the Mediterranean from Rus- sian conquest, to conclude a separate trea- y. In the first instance, such conduct cannot even be supposed, for it would be against the history, the habits, and the ge- nius of France. But it would be a rave error to believe that England, when isolat- ed, would be impotent. Doubtlcss in losing our alliance, she: would lose a support im- possible to replace.-But what could Rus- sia do against her? Matters have greatly changed since the commencement of the war. What England has cifectcd in three- years is lncnlculiible; -and what she would attempt, it‘ reduced to‘ her ownresources, wouldhcbeyond imagination. ‘The ques- tion of triumph has become for each En- glishman the famous " to be, or not to ha” of the poet.

He was thenzi young lawyer in Portsinoiitli, N.ll. At one of his visits to Miss Grace l*‘|ctchcr, he had probably with a view of combining utility and enjoyment, been holding skeins ofsillt thread for her, when suddenly he stop- pcd, saying,“Gracc, we have thus been engaged in untyiug knots; let us see if we can tie a knot, one which will not untie forlife-time.” Hetlictitook apiece of tape, and after beginning a knot ofu peculiar kind, gave it to her to com plcte. This was the cereemony and ratification of their engagement. And now in a little box marked by him with the words “ Precious I)ocumcnts,” cott- taining the letters of his early courtsliip, this unique mcinorinl is to be found.

" I met her, she was sad and old; She stooped. and trod with tottering feet; The hair was gray that once win: gold, 'I‘he voice was llilfill that once was sweet ; Iler hands were dwindled and her eyes, Robbed ofiho girlish light ofjoy, \Vere dim; I felt it and surprise That I had loved her when a boy.

" But yet, it something in her air Restored me to the vnnislied time;

My haunt grew young,and seemed to wear I‘ho brightness ol'my‘yonthft.l prime.

STRAW I’iutv'riuo l’Ar-r.it.—I~‘or the last three weeks we have been using for news and jobbing purposes a paper manufac- tured by Messrs. Buchanan and Killrner, at their Mill in Rock City, composed of about three parts straw and one part rags. Messrs. B. 6'. K. have expended about $l5,0U0 in ﬁtting up machinery, &.c. for the piirposo, and our readers can bear us witness of the success they have attained in their process of making

rinting paper from this new material.

0 have been fully informed of the pro- cess used in the manufacture, but tin- derstand it was discovered by soino l“i'enchmcn. The cost of the process is is such that the paper cannot be afforded much, if any, cheaper titan that made of rags at present cost; but, probably, as

cost may be made. At any rate, there need be no fears hereaﬁer as to any scarctiy of stock to make paper of.

In regard to the quality, t§'c., of the paper our readers can see somewhat for themselves, but we would say that it has a ﬁrm and even surface, almost like calendcrcd paper, requires more wetting for work on the ncwspaperthan ordin- ary paper from rags, and dries qttickcr upon cxpsure to the ‘air. Since we have got a little used to it, we like it very well for use. Paper can be made entire- :_y of straw, but it works better at present or printing to mix a proportion of rags with the straw. For many purposes the straw pa ris better than that made of rags, an it only requires to be better known to into use.

We learn from the manufacturers that they intend to 0 into the manufacture of writing paper tom straw; that the cost of making writing is very little more‘ than to make pnntiiigopapg, and from what we have seen t paper, think it will be a superior srticle.—Am- ericau Publishers’ Circular.

INGI-ZNIOUS INvi:.v'rioN.—A patent, the Philadelphia Ledger states, has been granted to Mr. Israel Amos of that cit , for an ingenious, useful, and beauti ul invention, whereby he is enabled to em- boss veneers for any kind of ornamental wood work, to represent elaborate car- vings on wood, and dispensing with that comparatively slow and expensive pro- cess. Veneers of plain or fancy woods prepared by a process) described full, in the patent), and placed between dies moderately heated, are submitted to pressure. One of the faces of the wood receives the pattern in relief, and gives it the appearance of elaborate wood carv- ing. 'l‘lie depressions caused by the dies on the opposite side of the veneer are filled up with a sutiablc plastic sub- fiance. This being dried, the embossed veneer is ready to be glued or otherwise attahed to furniture. The. veneer will neither split nor collapse, and the figures impressed upon it are so solidiﬁed by the pressure, that they may be rubbed and cleaned, without danger ofthe orna- tncnts being injured. Work of the very finest quality, sncli as we see in the most perfect dies, and which no turning lathe or carving tools could ever effect in wood are easily produced by this new process. The cost of this embossing is so trifling, compared with carving, and the number of useful and ornamental articles to which it is applicable is so extensive, that it would be dillicult to calculate the value ofthis invention and its advantage to the manufactures of ornamental wood work. It will admit of styles ofem- hellislimcnt never before attempted on parlour furniture, and greatly chcapen the work, so that articles ﬁnished in the highest orna-mental style will be produced and furnished at less than present prices.
