BONO BY AN OLD SAVAGE. Dearest girl, for the high cultivation Of your form, take all possible care, But, oh pray to your mind's information Of attention do pay a small share ! In a few years, without satbfaction, On your toilet youH lavish your pains ; Beauty gcea, and a women's attraction Then entirely depends on her brains. While you still keep the figure and features Which men gaze on with joy and delight Tou may say what you will, pretty crea tures, Twill be taken for clever and bright. Such delusion is owing to Cupid, That no word can be uttered amiss, Though entirely unmeaning or stupid, By the lips that appear made to kiss. When her mouth's line of grace have got broken, Eyes grow dim, cheeks are faded and blurred, By a woman if nonsense is spoken Man perceives that her speech is absurd, Tis the waist that has ceased to be slender, Tis the ankles that more are slim, When she talks any folly, tBat render All that folly apparent to him. Persevere then, with earnest endeavor, Still those fueitive charms to enhance Study dress as intently as ever, With a view to display and to dance, But read books too that make th mind stronger, When your good looks have vanished away, And you can't please the eye any longer, That you then may have something to eay. THE STATE OF THE MARKETS. Breadstuffs Rising every day. Gunpowder Goes of easily. Bitter Beer This article has a downward tendency. Indigo The trade Is dyeing. Pickled Pork Dead and very inactive. Brandy Very spirited. Vermillion Finds a reddy sale. Nutmegs In grater demand. Soda Water Brisk and lively. Lead Very heavy. Butter Is able to walk. Declivity of Rivers. A very slight declivity suffices to give the running motion to water. Three inches per mile in a smooth, stra'ght channel, gives a velocity of three miles an hour. The Ganges, which gathers the waters of the Himalaya Mountains, the loftiest in the world, is estimated at eighteen hundred miles from its mouth, only about eight hundred feet above the level of the ea, and to fall these eight hundred feet in its long course, the water re quires more than a month. The great river Magdalena, in South America, running one hundred miles between two ridges of the Andes, falls only two hundred feet in all that distance. Above the com mencement of the one hundred miles it is seen descending in rapid cata racts from the mountains. The gi gantic Rio de la Plata has so gentle a descent to the ocean that in Para guay, fifteen hundred miles from the mouth, large ships are seen which have sailed against the current al the way by the force of the witid alone that is to say, which, on the beautifully inclined plane of the stream, have been gradually lifted hj the soft wind, and even against the current, to an elevation greater than that of our loftiest spires. -Steadiness of purpose is capable of helping us in the smallest as wel as in the greatest events and acts o life. It is not with the moralist as with the economist " Take care o the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves" but, Take care upon what ruling principle you frame your conduct, and the details of your daily lives will fall easily, and rightly, and naturally under it." Let the purpose of your lives be steady, and your acts will be steady ; even your thoughts and wishes will not be flut tering after the nnattainablo and the Impossible. If you lose some pleas, ant dreams, you will also lose the more bitter awakenings. Only please to accept in friendly mood our part ing admonition, and, when you seek for steadiness of purpose, "see that you get it.'' " Boiled clocks" gives the im pression of a very novel and some what unpalatable dish, although we see it recommenced in the Scientific American. A writer in that journal says that common brass clocks may be cleaned by immersing the works iu boiling water. Rough as this treat ment may appear, it works well, whenever they stop from an accumu lation of dust or thickening of oil upon the pivots. They should be boiled in pure rain water, and dried on a warm stove or near the fire The writer speaks of an eight-day clock which was boikd a vear ago, and has behaved perfectly "well ever since. J There are few manufactures in which there have been more radical change recently than in book-making. The manufacture and sale of books has increased five times over in the last twenty years. Editions of new and nntried books to the number of 3,000 are unhesitatingly ventured on by publishers at their own risk, where one thousand were printed with much trepidation ten years ago. " W nen we started our first steam press in 1832," said one of Harper Brothers, " we thought we were going to do all the printing in the country." Now the firm employs over forty. The artistic taste and mechanical skill dis played by compositors, pressmen and binders are Tery far superior to what it was ten years ago. Compare Harper & Brothers' last edition of the " Lives of the Stephensons'1 with their first, or witness any of Ticknor & Fields', or the Appletons' books of early and late years. Even the pe riodical magazines in which uniform ity of style must be preserved, illus trate the great improvement in typog raphy, press work, binding, Scc. The books of the present day are magnifi cent specimens of the art; but in view of the prrcat changes which nave oc curred it would be unwise to think them perfect. Ihey will appear shabby enough beside the books which will be produced at less cost in 1878 Tmes. official, Laws of the United States, PASSED AT THE THIRD SESSION OF TUB FORTIETH CONGRESS. No. 1.
