ArmovED, June 19th, 1S3-1. .2 sketch cf the life cf Alexander Hamilton, by his son. Hamilton, it appears, was a native of tho Island of Nevis, in the West Indies, but of Scottish docent on the father's side, and on the mother's French. Very early in life he gave strong indica tions of the talents by which his subsequent fame was gained, as well as of the generous and independent temper which in his after life was so conspicuous. He wa3 an early lover of books; and although, while he remained in the West Indies, his education was extremely limited, he began very soon to acquire knowledge, useful, though immethodical,and perhaps more various than well digested. In 17G9 he was placed at the desk cf a merchant's counting-house, where he acquitted himself to the satisfaction of his employer, although his ambition, even then, took a higher flight. The turning-point of his fortune is thus narrated: "In August, seventeen hundred and seventy-two soon after he had returned from a commercial expedition to St. Austatia, tho Leeward Islands were desolated by one of those terrific hurricanes which so often visit the tropics. Before the terrors of the scene had worn off, and while its effects were still visible, a description of it appeared, which, though published in the neighboring island of St. Christopher's, attracted universal attention at St. Croix; and such was the impression it produced, that the governor and some of the principal persqns in the Island made an especial effort to discover its author and ultimately traced it to Hamilton. This simple incident decided his fate. His wishes were consulted, and it was determined to send him to New York to complete his education." Soon after his arrival, ho joined a celebrated

gram mcr-school,at Eiizabcthtown, (the principal of which, Francis Barber, took up arms in the revolu

tion, and became a colonel,) and in tho courso of - . d R- , now Columbia colloan. f Uri, vnrv nn iwmo no nrti,. very soon became one of the most distin guished alumni, both for industry and talent. At this time, tho discontents which afterward led to the severance of the colonics from tho mother country, were already in existence, and rapidly approaching their natural termination. Tho situation of tho colonics generaly, and) of New York in particular, is bricJly and forcibly sketched by Mr. Hamilton, in his second chapter; but we can only extract from this part of the volume the concluding incident. A general meeting of the citizens was called to determine upon tho course to be followed by the province; and it was on this occasion that Hamilton, then seventeen years old I first took part in public deliberations: "It has been related to have been his habit to walk several hours each day under tho shade of some large trees which stood in Rattcau strcet, now Dcy-strcet, talking to himself in an under tone of voice, apparently engaged in deep thought, a practice which he continued through life. This circumstance attracted the attention of his neighbors, to whom ho was known as the "young West Indian," and led them to engage in conversation with him. One of them remarking tho vi"or and maturity of his thoughts, urged him to address this meeting, to which all the patriots were looking with the greatest interest. "From this seeming intrusion ho at first recoiled; but, after listening attentively to the succcssivo speakers, and finding seveal points untouched, he presented himself lo the assembled multitude. "The novelty of the attempt, his youthful couni lenance, his slender and diminutive form, awaken- j cd curiosity and arrested attention. Overawed by ' the scene before him, ho at first hesitated and fal- j tercd; but as ho proceeded almost unconsciously j to utter Jus accustomed reflections, his mind warmed with the theme, his energies were recovered; and, after a discussion clear, cogent, and novel, of the great principles involved in the controversy, ha depicted in glowing colours tho long endured oppressions of the mother country ; he insisted on the duty of resistance, pointed to the means and ccr tainty of success, and described the waves of rebellion sparkling with fire, and washing back on the shoics of Fngland the wrecks of her power, her wealth, and her glory. The breathless silence ceased as he closed; and the whispered murmur, 'it is a collegian! it is a collegian!' was lost in loud expressions of wonder and applause at the extraordinary eloquence of the young stranger, In the third chapter, we find an analysis ofacontcst of political pamphlets, carried on with great vigour in which, boy as lie was, Hamilton was found to be the principal whig champion, and became, to use the words of Marinus Willot, iho oracle" cf tho patriots. But it was soon found that a more perilous contest must ensue. Hamilton joined a volunteer corps, called the "Hearts of Oak," and devoted himself, with his accustomed energy, to tho acquisition of military skill and knowledge. From this period, his progress in zeal, efficiency and importance, becomes so rapid, that the history of his life is of necessity, to n certain extent, the history of the war; and this, written with a simple and judi cious brevity, yet presenting every important fact with remarkable clearness and containing many which, we have no doubt, will be quite new to the greater number of readers, if not to all, constitutes the remainder of tho volume. The part taken by Hamilton throughout, is described distinctly and fully; and the narration shows how great and manifold were his services; how promptly he understood and how ably seconded tho views, "designs and enterprises of his friend and commander, Washington; how perfect was the confidence reposed by that leader's never-failing judgment in the abilities, the integrity, the zeal and the discretion of his most trusted aid-de-camp, although but nineteen years of age; and how well that confidence was justified by tho result. Tho perils, achievements, and reverses of the war are recounted; much light is thrown upon portions of that history which have never been, and perhaps never will be, totally free from obscurity and doubt; and among these, the most deeply interesting to every American, is tho story of those less obviou3 but not less harrassing and perilous difficulties with which Washington had to struggle in the achievement of his country's freedom and his own undying glory. Cold, and hunger, and poverty, and a mighty and exasperated foe, were not all tho enemies with which he had to contend; faction was added to the number, and envy; the hatred of rivals, the blunders of ignorance, tho vexations of presumption, and the artifices of intriguers whose thoughts wero less upon their country's welfare than their own. All these beset his path; and our admiration of his almost perfect character gains increase from the narrative, which shows how they were met and understood and foiled. We candidly acknowledge, that until we had read the work of Mr. Hamilton, much of what he has described was unknown to us; and that in our understanding cfthe remainder, there were obscure and ill-defined passages for which we have long sought elucidation, but until now without success. In his delineations of , 'the characters of several among the prominent individuals of the revolution, and his account of certain of their actions and motives, proved as it is by contemporary documents, we have oLtained the solution of many preexisting doubts, and the clue to somo apparent anomalies; and we feel assured that his work while it doesjustice to his father's memory and fame, will provo an honor to his own. X. V. Mirror. Front CoodsdVs Genesee Farmer' SOAP MAKING. This i3 a process in which many of our good house-wives experience much inconvenience and vexation. This arrise3 from their not being sufficiently acquainted with the simple and compound supstance which Ihey employ. When a colution of potash, or lye, is deprived of carbonic acid, or rendered caustic, it readily combines with animal fat, and forms tho compound called soft soap. When both the ingredients are in a proper condition, thero is no difficulty in maiking soap. As soap for tho use of farmers' female?, is more commonly prepared by leaching tho ashes, which havo been mtide during winter, wo will give such

short directions ns will enable all house keepers to make a good article with little troubo. A barrel with one head is most commonly made use of as a leach ; into this, w hen placed at a tuitahlu height upon a board, should Lo put one pock cf fresh burnt, slacked lime, and tho barrel tilled with ashes. Water should be put upon tho top, and allowed to filter through until the most of tho potash contained in them has been separated. The object in putting the lime at the bottom of the cask U that the lyo may pass through it, and deprive it of any catbonieacid it may contain, and which would prevent it from combinding with tho grease and forming soap. When potash i saturated with caibouio acid, it forms poarlash, or sal aratus, which will not combine with grease ; but as limo has a ttrowor

ufiiniiy for tho carponic acid than the iotath has, it will retain it when loaclu'd thrown it, and allow luc potash or lye to run oil m us caustic statt Another cause of failures in soap making U, tho quantity of salt lint is often mixed with tho giease; this should bo carefully seperated by boiling it in a kettle with a quantity of water, by which mean the salt will unite with tho water, and leave tho grcasojna proper condition for mixing with tho lyo. When thero ii care to free tho lyo from acid and the grease from s ilt, lino soap may be made at tho rate of a barrel from every fifteen or twenty pound of grease. Tho strength of the lyo, to combine readily, should be such as to lloat a new laid hen's egg, ami all that runs after it is of that strength, should cither bo preserved and put upon the next leach full (if ashes, or boiled down until it acquires the spcciuc gravity required. In order to have soap as mild as possible, there should he as much grease added, us tho h o will dissolve, in which case the soap villtbo smooth, and salve like, and will bo soon convenient tor wailing; then whe n it is hard or liver like, which h:,l ismado by adJing about an equal quantity of water to well undo soap, ana w hat soap makers call sophisttcalinr' it. Those who would make hard or bar soip for family use, can do it, bv appropriating a suitable por tion of clean made soft soap, into which, while boil j ing, they should add by degrees, common salt, until it undergoes a change or curdles, after which they should idlow it to cool, when the hard tonp will bq upon the top; this may bo taken oif, and the botT torn cleaned from those impurities which will bo found adhering to it, cut it into bars for drying, or it may be put into tho kettle again with a very littlo water, and uain heated and allowed to tool a before, when it will havo become more uniform. "All for W." A young man, named Wire, recently committed suicide in JX-troif, because, his sweet heart refused to go to chun-h with him.

The box or hive to be mado of inch plank, say about two feet thieo inches by twelve inches wide tho upper part of the box to bo partitioned t lf, allowing just space sufficient to admit a drawer of about ten by twelve inches deep. This drawer is to elide upon tho horizontal partition, and lo bo made to lit the inside of the box exactly. In tho bottom of tho drawer, a hole is to bo made, say about one and a half inch in diameter, and a corresponding one in tho partition, so as to allow tho bets to piss upfront the lower part of tho hive, into tho drawer. In tho outer side of tho drawer, a pane of glass is to bo fixed, in order to tell when the .drawer is filled with honr y. Over ibo lasa a gliding planter is to be plucedjto exclude the light: or the upper end cfthe plank, founing the back sido of tho box or hive, may bo pawed off, and fastened with a hinge and a button, so as to answer in placo of tho sliding abutter. When the the honey ii wanted for use, removing the shutter firm before tho glasF, and having ascertained that ihc drawer is filled, introduce u little smcko into the top of tho drawer by means of a tobacco pipe; and when tho hecs have been driven into the lower part of tho hive separate the drawer and partition, with a case knife, remove the drawer, and having emptied it, return it to its place again, and the bees will commence working in it immediately. ly this method the honey will be always pure, without beo bread or dead bccs,and not a single bee need bo destroyed; and moreover, it has been tested by many years trial, and found to answer tho intention completely. Yt, 1'. S. Tho drawer should have a top serened on, so as to be more readily opened when the honey is to be taken out; and any space between the drawer and the sides, or top of the hive, should bo filled with some kind of cement, so as to prevent insects from making a lodgment within the hive. Asthma, Wo learn from an intelligent friend, who has long been allhcted with this mot distiessing complaint, that the fumes of burnim paper, saturated with a solution of saltpetre, gives him peifcct relief. He keeps a quantity of the paperwhich has been simply soaked in strong saltpetre wutcr, and afterw ards driedconstantly on hand, and on the recurrence of a paioym obtains olmot t instant relief from burning half a sheet or a sheet in hi room. Others who havo been similarly alhrted, havo tried it with corresponding benefit. In no case has it been known to fail, so lav as hisinfomialion extends. Wo deem the testimony mthciuit to warrant the publication of the prescription, which certainly has the merit of simplicity. If it ihall prove generally efficacious, its value id beyond price. It can be readily tested. Xarark Daily Adv. LVM'S XATUR.V. A Cluster of Siamese Cats.
