Flame cannot exist a second in this vapor; and yet it can be breathed without the slightest inconvenience. Dickens, in his “ Household Words,” devotes several pages to this invention. We make the following extract from hts descrip tion of the burning of a bouse, got up expressly to test the powers of the Fire Annihilatin': “ Mr. Phillips assured them there was no dan 1 ger. ss he had perfect command over the flames; ' at the same time he requested the company to ob ' serve that he had purposely arranged that evety ! disadvantage should be against him.

Tbo' I can not boast the diamond's hue, The tempting gleam of gold, With which, by the srts of the grasping few. The nations are' bought and sold; Yet in my presence more priceless lar Than the blase of tbo earth's royal gem. That ever has kindled a ducal star, Or flamed in a diadem. In the fearful depths of the rayless mine My giant strength was laid, Ere the sun, or the moon, or the stars that shine III the boundless heavens were made: Ere darkness was rolled from '.lie deep away; Ere the skies were spread abroad; Ere the words that called up the light of day Were breathed by the lips of God! Yc were but a poor and powerless race Till ye wisely sought u.y aid; Ye dwelt like the beasts of the savage chase, j 111 the gloom of the forest shade; Where often the uotnad yielded his hearth To the wolf, in pale affright. And the tooth of Ihe lion stained the earth With the blood of the troglodyte. How helpless ye saw the descending rain, The water's resistless flow, The frost that seared the verdant plain, And the blinding drifts of snow! .. For you no steer his neck would yield— No steed your stave would be; \ e trac'd no furrows along the lie HI, No pathways o’er the sea! The myriad stars came forth at even; The bow of God was bent, Inscribing the wondrous laws of Heaven O’er the measureless firmament. Bright constellations rose and fled; The fair moon waxed and waned; But the record which they nightly spread Unknown to you remained. But when some prescient spark of mind Invaded my lone retreat, I Aud ye learned my Proteus form to bind, And fashion, with fervent heat. The glearning sword from th« flames )tap’d out— And the hook for the golden grain: And the air grew vocal with freedom’s shout Where the tyrants of earth were slam! Then rose th« dome and lofty tower Where the groaning fonst fell; And the massive guns looked frowning o’er The walls of the citadel. The dizzy and tapering steeple sprung, And flashed in the summer air; And the pendant bell in the turret swung To summon the world to prayer! Stout ships encountered the howliug storms On the track has sea secure; For l held the fate of their gallant forms. And my grasp is strong and sure. Midst the lightning's gleam and the tempest’s roar, , They feared not the angry main, For they cast their trusty anchors o’er, And laugher! at the hurricane. At ray touch the massive column soar’d! The graceful arch was thrown! And forms of beauty the world adored Rose up in deathless stone, , Ye rivalled the tints of the Mushing dawn With the hues my dust supplied, , Till the humblest work of art has shown Like the mist by rainbows dyed. I come where the suffering patient lies On his couch, ail wan aud weak; And the lustre returns to his sunken eyes. And the bloom to his pallid check. Ye fear not the roar of the thunder U»uJ; Yesleep with the storms around; For the bolt 1 dutch ill the threatening cloud Falls harmless to the ground. Where I tread, the erooked paths grow straight The old hills disappear; And 1 draw each distant hostile State, in friendly commerce, near! Swift through veins by the lightning hurl’d, Your thoughts like the tempest sweep, Till knowledge has covered the roiling world, As the waters have covered the deep. And soon ye shall see my massive ore In many a grander pile Than ever adorned the Tiber's shore. Or the banka of the ancient Nile. The sacred temple shall rear its roof, The cottage for social glee, The frowning fortress, thunder-proof, And the ships of every sea. Then hurra! ye fearless sons of toil! Your nation’s strength and pride! May ye reap a harvest of golden spoil O'er »)« can u ana t: e ocean wm May your ponJruua hammers ever smite With the power of the mountain stream; Or thunder bcncWth ghe earthquake might That dwell# ift the »rm of steam!

On one occasion, under the. pressure of an utiusually large brick, which accidentally got into his hat at the Tillage inn, the old man strayed into the graveyard near his residence, where he found the navigation somewhat rougher than he was prepared for. The consequence was, that be fore tie got Ur, he atumbied headlong betw en taro we'l rounded graves, which were lying in hi* path, where he found that it wm easier for a ic-n in 1 his situation to lie down than it waa to get up. < After screral inelfeetual elTocts, and leaning now 1 upon one of the graves, and now iifion the other, fx the support he required, he fell tiack, and i throwing hut bands our over Ihe sods which cover- 1 ed the remains of his nearest neighbors, he « claimed, •• Well! wvei Kind; 1 ** tW, > alt rw togHktr V.

" I did’nt {fid; what do you think 1 want of that irticle!” said the. old lady, indignantly. “ Here. I’ll take it at thirteen," exclaimed a roiee at the other end of the root:. All eyes were .(trued in that direction, but noelaimant came for ' ward. “ Who says they’ll take it nt thirteen “ I do,” said an old lariner. " Well, sir, walk up and take it.” " I’m afraid it’s stolen goods!” said the bolder. The auctioneer, now quite mad, sprang down, ind was about collaring tbe old man, when a per ion right behind him cried— “ Don't strike him! it was I that said you stole t !” The auctioneer turned round, when a big dog, ippa rent I y right at his beds, snuffled and barked ; uost furiously. With a sudden spring upon his : lounter. he onlered toe crowd to leave. An ac- ! |oaintance at our elbow, no longer able to contain ninself, burst lino aloud laugh, as a genteel little j nan passed out at the door, whom he told us was J i vin/ri/ovw*t.

Some sa il ors assert that there are not m *re than eight, while others aiiinn that there are upwards of a hundred; and indeed there * no end to them, it is not at alt likely that anything certain is known about the matter, beams’? never have taken the trouble to cultivate a great variety of them in order to ascertain '.be difference between the several kinds. Wt believe, however, that at tempts have been made to do this to tottm exp-*, in Jamaica, Trinidad and St. V-.nren»'», where the various plants of the numerous legions where the cotton ahroi> is found, have been grown side by side in private gardens, cm plantations, and in bo t»nical collection*. Of these, the Trinidad alone remain?, and we are not aware that any great a*l vantage has been derived from that. Tms much however; we know, that the several specie* differ materially in appearance, varying ftoui four or five, to fifteen to sixteen feet high. There is no doubt that ibe plant was well known in ancient limes; but at what period it was intro duced into America, we are But precisely informed.

Colico ulitained its name from Colicit—an insignificant town in India, where it was probably first made. 'It was an article too ex pensive to be purchased by the laboring classes, on its first introduction into England; and it was little imagined, in the early days of i s manufac ture, how wuMerfutly il was destined to alter the whole lace of commerce and society, and become the great staple commodity of the wen tern hemis phere. In China, It does not appear to have been em ployed to constitute articles of draw before the thirteenth century. In .Spain, it is believed that the Moors employed the filamens of cotton f.r weaving cloth in the tenth century; but II e quar rels between the Mohammedans ami the Chris tians kept the rest of Europe in ignorance of its manufacture for many ages. Italy was thd first to adopt it, ami when the genius of Arkwright, Har greaves and Cartwright had invented the proper machinery, England turned her attention to it in earnest, and gave an impetus to the growth and manufacture of cotton, which has since been, con stantly on the increase.
