o o o o o o o D 3 O O O O O SXimagyllabic Vere. The most remarkable use of monasylla "bles among poets on record, occurs in " The Fire Worshippers," in Lalla Rbookh," and is as follows : ' I knew, I knew it could not last 'Twas bright, 'twas heavenly, but 'tis past . Oh ! ever thus, from childhood's hour, I've seen my fondest hopes decay; I never loved a tree or flower But 'twas the first to fade away. I never nursed a dear gazelle To glad me with its sort black eye, But when it came to know me well, And love me, it was sure to die IhW, too the jov most like dmne Tf all I ever dreamt or knew, To see thee, hear thee, call thee mine, Oh miserv, roust I lose that too? Yet to! On peril's brink we meet; Those frightful rocks that treacherous sea ; No, never come again tho' sweet, Tho' heaven, it may be death to thee ! This passage contains one hundred and twenty-seven words, one hundred and ten of which are monasyllables, and the re mainder words of only two syllables. The sentiment embodied throughout is that of violent mental emotion ; and the passage affords a striking illustration of the cor rectness of the theory that, " the language of passion is almost invariably broken and abrupt."' Devillk's Fckxace. M. Deville of France has constructed a furnace of great heating power.' -It consists of a flame of coal gas. inclosed in a chamber of iron-conductors-, into which a jet of oxy gen ga3 is Jlown. In this way only the naterial required for perfect combustion is admitted, thus obviating the objection to the use of common air which involves the necessity of introducing into the fur nace with every volume of oxygen four volumes oi inert nitrogen. V hen cold air is used, part of the heat generated by oxvgen is wasted in heating the nitrogen it hM therefore been found highly ad van tage nns to apply the waste heat of the furnace in raising the temperature of the air which feeds the flame, thus forming v int is technic.i'ly called the hot-blast. Th-J in -3 of pare oxyga 1 is not ecomomical. bui whero a very higli temperature is re quired, it is indispensable. In Deville's furnace, platinum, the most refractory of the elements, when placed upon a bed of lime and subjected to the flame is easily melted. About one cubic foot of coal gas and one of oxygen will reduce one pound of platinum. The temperature generated in the Deville furnace has been estimated to be over 11,000 degrees Farenheit. or about live times higher than that required to melt cast iron. Calcutta Copal Resins. The Comptes Hcndus contains some new researches by II. v lolette on these resins, which pre viously had been found soluble in ether, turpentine, benzole, petroleum and other hydi'on carbons, as well as vegetable oils, only after losing about 25 per cent of their weight by distillation. Violette's experiments show that these resins, heated , in a closed vessel at a temperature be tween 350 and 400- C, or 662 and 752 Fahr.'., acquire after cooling, without los ing any of their weight, the property of dissolving, hot o? cold, in the above named liquids, and forming excellent varnishes. He finds also that Copal resin, heated O as stated, under pressure, with one third of drying linseed oil and one-third of essence of turpentine, gives directly, with out loss, a rich', clear limpid varnish of a beautiful slightly lemon color, perfectly adapted for carriages, and for the inside as well as the outside ot rooms, where delicate painting i3 required. Under the double influence of heat and pressure this resm acquires new properties. .Manufac turers who would take advantage of this discovery, must bear in mind the retort used will be subject to a pressure of at least 300 lbs to the square inch. Origin of Anthracite. Dr. Percy. F. R. 8.,' in his tenth lecture on Chemical Geology after describing an experiment Daubree, who subjected fragments of fir wood, in a close tube with water, to a high temperature and pressure, and thus transformed the wood into a black mass having a bright luster and resembling anthracite proceeds to say : It has long been supposed that bituminous coal is converted into anthracate simply by appli cation. of heat ; but something more than this is required to satisfy the conditions, for if it were simply a matter of heat we ought to get, not anthracate, but coke, falso a proportionate increase in the quan tity of fixed organic matter, or ash, in the coal. It seemed to him there must O liririihpwn snmp nlhpr innriitinn nbtflinincr in order to account for the converstion of bituminou.3 coal into arthracite. lie believed that water played an important Qpart in this conversion that anthracite has been the result of thermohydric or hydro-thermic action ; and that water has in some way or other removed to a large extent the inorganic matter or ash. r S TREVGTn of Growing Trees. An En glish paper says "Walton Hall had at one time its own corn mill, and when that inconvenient necessity longer existed, the mill-stone was laid by in aa orchard and forgotten. The diameter of the cir Gcuhytj stone measured five feet and a half, while its depth averaged seven inches throughout ; its central hole had a diam eter of eleven inches. By mere -accident, some bird or t qnirrel had dropped the fruit of the filbert tree through this hole on teethe earth, and in IS 12 the seedling was 'Seen rising tip through the nnwonted channel? As its trunk gradually grew through this aperture and increased, its power to raise the ponderous mass of stone was speculated upon by many. Would the fiibert tree die in the attempt ? "Would it burst the mill-stone ? or, would it lift it? Ia the'end, the little filbert tree lifted (the mill-stone, and in 1S(53 wore it like a crinoline about its trunk, and Mr. Water ton used to sit under the branching shade. Sleeping Flowers. Almost all flowers sleep during the night. The marigold goes to bed with the sun. aud with him ries weeping. Many plan's are so sensi tive tha: tueir leaves close during the passage of a cloud. The dandelion opens at five or six in the morning ; the daisy opens its day's eye to meet the early beams of the morning's sun. The crocus, tulip, and many others, close their blossoms at different hours toward evening. The ivy leaved lettuce opens at eight o'clock in the morning, and closes at four in the afternoon. The night-blooming cereus (turns night into day. It begins to expand its magniftcient sweet-scented blossoms in the twilight ; it is in full bloom at mid night,0 and closes, never to open again, at the dawu of day.

The proprietor of the town of Astoria, in order to pav his debts and carry forward his improvements, offers to the public the greater part of the unsold lots within the corporate limits, on terms that will arrest attention and tempt investment. The property will be divided into six hun dred parcels, and distributed among the purchasers by lot. One-half the parcels will be single lots, no one of which is worth less than $50, and many of them are worth 75 and $100 each, at the present selling rates. The other half will be prize parcels of two, four and six lots each, and single lots rang ing in value from one hundred to six hun dred dollars, and one house and lot valued at one thousand dollars, and one new cottage residence of eight rooms (not all finished), with stone cellar under the whole, together with three lots, all as one parcel, valued at five thousand dollars. All the parcels will be sold at one uniform price of fifty dollars each. As soon as the shares are all taken, the distribution will be made by a committee, consisting of the County Jude, County cierK ana nneriir, ana u eitaer ot them is absent, the others will choose a person to fill the vacanev. The numbers of the lots com- nAftincr npVi nnrrfl will Ka writtfln rvr cor. erate ballots, and sealed up and placed in a box. lne purchasers names will be written on as many separate ballots as tnev have sub scribea for shares, and sealed up aud placed in another box. The boxes being well shaken, a bailot will be drawn from each and the name and the description of the prop erty drawn will be recorded by the Clerk ; and then another will be drawn and recorded. until all are drawn. The record of the draw ing will be certified bv the committee of onicers, and warranty deeds will be immedi ately executed in accordance therewith, and delivered to the purchasers, or to their au thorized agents, who will pay the purchase money on receipt of the deed. The title is a patent certificate under the Donnt'wn Lair. This is not a lottery, but a joint purchase of several parcels of land, with an agreement to treat them as or equal value tor the pur fosc ot. si nl iistrihiltmn. nnn to Murn them Viv as a Court would ma e partition. Situate in the mouth of the Columbia river. at the onlv spot where a town can be built with a harbor of sufficient capacitv to shelter a large amount of shipping, and accessible bv both ocean ships and liver boats in ail weathers, Astoria can have no rival as the ente-not for tlu commerce of the river. Rival towns have been projected, but scarce ly the rums ot a house now mark their sites while Astoria has grown steadily up to the condition ot a respectable little city, and in creases taster every year than it did the year before. Un the two points between which shtps enter the nver are the 1vo torts, btevens ami Hancock, in full view of the town, with their wharves, warehouses, barracKs and otlieei s quarters, each a respectable village, where the LTOvernnient Das entered upon a a series of works, which' with their irarrison, will involv e the disbursement of millions of do lars. Aud, considering that this is the gate to an interior countrv of three ernbrvo States besides Oregon, all glitteriuo; with veins of gold and si'ver, no expense is likely to be spared in guarding it. The travel and trailic between that region and San Francisco i: already immense. It will never cease, cease increasing. And there, at toe gate, will stand Astoria; and all the steamships and river boats must come to her wharves as they ply the ever increasing commerce of five States. Three regular lines of steam ships are now employed, and at certain lea- sons extra trips are made. At present, thev extend their voyages inland a hundred miles to Portland, iu pursuance ot a habit nai urallv formed when trade was confined to the Willamette river, on which Portland is situated. But the reasons for it are dimin ishing, and tho reasons for changing it are increasing; and it is generally believed that verv soon the ocean steamers will termi ate their voyages at Astoria, and leave the in land carrying to river boats of but a twen tieth part their cost. Portland, it is hoped, will not be injured bv the change, but re lieved from the fear of injury. But, what ever happens, the prosperity of Astoria is sure It is now exhioituig a greater proportionate increase iu building, business and wealth, than auv other town on the Pacitic coast. No real estate is so sure of a constant advance. and none sb likely to take a sudden rise to many times us present value, ihat it is ot tered lor sale at home, among those who know it best and who can appreciate the lib erahty ot the oiler, proves that it possesses all the value and advantages attributed to it. and presents a tempting opportunity for either speculation, or investment. Why then- is the oner made i Why is tt:e prop erty put into a raffle at prices which average less thau half the selling rates? Only be cause the sales to citizens, for actual improve ment, at full prices, at the rate of three to hve thousand dollars a year, on time, as here tofore, is no longer adapted to the circunv stances of the proprietor, who has become an invalid, andmu.-t hasten to complete the im provements and enterprise which he has in hand. The following extracts from a letter pub lished in the New York Independent, of Sep tember 27th 1S50. from Prof. Wood, who made the tour of the Pacific States last sum mer. e:ives the lmnressions ot a sagacious and impartial stranger: Astoria, Oregon, Aug. 11th, lS6o. "T wrilp Irnm this rpniwncfl lilace. As toria stands upon the left bank of the Co lumbia, ten miles from its final commingling with the ocean. A narrow interval of level ground, from tide to bluff, say two miles in length bv two furlongs in width, affords a convenient and pleasant footing, fur at pres ent, about seventv white buildings, including custom house, court house, hotels, stores. shops and dwellings. Several fine dwellings also stand high upon the lulls m the rear, enjoying a landscape in front of marvelous beauty. Astoria enjoys acnmaieoi rcmars able salubrity. Diseases may exist, but I hear'nothmg of them; and the atmosphere, perfumed bv the vast coniferous forests, or purified by the expanse of the waters of the Pacific, brings only health and vigor to these shores. Hence, it is a favorite resort for in valids and tourists from the interior, in search either of health or recreation. It is occupied and controlled bv a population chiefly of New Lngland origin, lhey main tain an efficient public schooi, now under the direction of a graduate of Yale, for the education of their two hundred children. "Astoria occupies a position, geograph ically, which should entitle her to supremacy in commerce, as the New Orleans of the Co lumbia ; and the As'oriiins maintain that she is yet destined to attain it. At present, however, Portland is the undoubted metro polis, a city located one hnnd ed miles above this, not on the Columbia, but on its chief tributary, the U dlamette. 1 his is an anom The vallev of the a'y yet readily explained. Wi'.l.iriietf.e is by far the larsrcst and best ag ricultural district in the iState, and Portland is us mart ; while the region buck of Asto ria is yet f resr, with onlv here and there a small section subdued. For this good rea son, at present. Astoria has less than l.ooO inhabitants, while Portland hasS.O '.); and for the other good reason, its commanding position, this 'little city is the only port of entry 'tor the State. The future importance of Astoria soenis Heritable, and must more than keep pace with the development of her agiicultural resources." The -erentv houses estimated by Prof. Wood were at that time more than ahundred, and since then the largest and most costly store io the town has been built, and a church, steam saw mi l, brewery, and one of the beft tanneries on the Pacific coast, to gether with whartint; and the usual addition of dwelling-nnd other buildings. Another church is to be bnilt next season, and a num ber of hoases are under contract. Each sum mer the carpenters are overtasked. Next season the demand will be greater than ever. Workmen of all trades are greatly needed. This is their opportunity, this is everybody's opportunity; every person should own some property at the seaport aud summer resort of Oregon. To improve and use. there is none so eligible for heath, schools and profit able employment. As .merchandise, to sell for profit, none will give so great an advance on cost. As a means to lay up mouey for the future, no other is so safe, or will return so many fold. Not a ticket but will draw a fifty dollar lot, and two-thirds of them will draw prizes of two, four and sis lots each, or a lot worth rrom;twice the the cost of the ticket io a. hundred times its cost..
