LIFE'S SlASdHS. : BT ELIZA COOK. There is a spring-time of the heart 'Tis found in infancy When on its mother's breast the babe First smiles in dimpled glee ; When, like the bud upon the stem, Its life is but begun, And pearly tear-drops flee the eyes, As shadows flee the sun. There is a Summer of the heart 'Tis found in early youth When life is full of joyousness, Of innocence and truth : When clouds but seldom intervene To mar the sky so bright, And all is but a fairy scene Of exquisite delight. There is an Autumn of the heart 'Tis found in riper ageWhen sorrow 's a f ami! liar thing, And grief a heritage : When shadows thick and dark come o'er The beauty of the sky, And by their dim obscurity Foretell some danger nigh ! There is a Winter of the heart 'Tis found in later years WThen life is full of bitterness, Of vain, regretful tears : When stormy winds and chilling blasts - Blow with so fierce a breath, That we would fain seek shelter in The anchorage of death ! Whene'er the Autumn of the heart Shall cloud our lives with gloom, And Winter's cold and chilling blasts Remind us of the tomb, Let us but act our parts aright On Time's uncertain shore, Our souls will know in purer climes A Summer evermore.
MAKING A NEEDLE; OE HOW PEOPLE HELP EACH OTHER. It is curious to think how many people are at work for you. "Me !" cries a little girl, looking up from her hemming: "nobody is at work for me, l am working for myselt. Let us see. In order to furnish you with the small pocket-handkerchief which you are now hemming, the planter sowed and gathered his cotton, the sailor carried it to the manufacturer, the spinner and weaver made it up into cloth, the shopkeeper kept it in his store ; so many at any rate, helped vou to it. Then, the needle you are hemming with came thousands of miles, besides employing a great many people to make it in the first place. The child looked at her needle, so small, so slim, so simple. "It's onlv a needle.' she said. But it takes a great while and many workmen to make a needle. . Let us go to England, where our Best needles come lrom, and take a peep into the workshops In going over the premises, we must pass hither and thither, and walk into the next street and back again, and take a drive to a mill, in order to see the whole process. We find one chamber of the shon is huno- round with coils of hrltrh wire, of all thicknesses, from the stout kind used for cod-fish hooks, to that for the finest cambric needles. In a room below, bits of wire, the length of two needles, are cut by a vast pair of 1 '! il . Al ' 11 . 1 . . 1 ."" snears, nxea m xne w&uv a Dnnaie nas oeen cut the bits need straightening, for they came o from coils. The bundle is thrown into a red hot furnace, then taken out and rolled backwards and 1 forwards on a table until the wires are straight. This process is called "rubbing straight," , We now ride Over to a mill. There is a miller peeping out at us. .. One end of his' mill is for grinding flour, the other for grinding needles. We go down into the basement, and find a needlepointer seated on his bench. He takes up two dozen or so of the wire, and rolls them .between his thumb and fingers, with their ends on the grindstone, first 'one and then the other.' We have now the wires straight, and pointed at both ends. Back to the workshop. Here is a machine which flattens and gutters the heads of ten thousand, needless . an hour. Observe s the little gutter at the head, of your .needle. Next comes the punching of the eyes- and the boy who does it punches eight thousand in an hour t and he does it so fast, your eye can hardly keep pace with hint. The spittmar rfollowsi. ; whichf is run ning a fine wire through a. dozen perhaps of these twin needles; a woman with a little .anvil before her, files between the heads and separates them. They are now a complete needle but ..rough and fusty, and what is worse, they' are 'ep' limber as tor 'beftd with a toUch. A pretty poof needle, you jrilliay. But the jbardenihg eorae siext. They are heated in bat$he,$ furnace, and when red, hot are soused ina pan of cold pater. Next, they must be tempered r and this . is done by rolling them "backwards' and forwards on a hot metal pi ate. The polishing Still remains to be clone, and to see this ws must get back to the mtthu On a very coarse cloth, which lies upon another coarse cloth,1 iseedles are spread to the njpraber pi fortyt or;fifty .thousand; 4 Emery, ust iftnlrewedi over .them, oil f hi sprinkled and, soft' lo)Aevbe by pofila oyer . ths .clotli i-ithf 4owit':Jen rollei:liatdt.nBs. aad, -mth. sayeraj otherActthe am .kind,, thrown into.

to the manufactory, where they are sorted and put up for sale. But the. sorting. and the doing Up M papers, you may imagine, is quite a work by itself. ' ; " - - Enough has been told you to ee .bow various are the branches of industry, and that even to furnish so handy and common a JitUe instrument
as the needle, how much labor is necessary, and how many workmen are employed. It should make us humble also, to see Tiow dependent we are upon one another. While the bird, the cat, and all inferior animak are suppled with ready made clothing, and need nojteip jfrom 0e. othe,r, we cannot live comfortably a day without being: ministered to by hundreds whom we have never seen. This crreat law of mutual dependence should help to impress upon us those precious essons of brotherly love taught us in the cospel, as it makes wonderfully significent the whole hearted rule of the apostle, "Do srood to all men, as ye have opportunity." THE FLOWER GARDEN We have frequently seen flower gardens laid out with the greatest care, and the utmost reguanty ; we have seen them garnishee with the choicest flowers, but at the same time we have often lamented the want of taste or want of cul ture, call it what we may, in the arranging of flowers of different collors. Skill in laying out grounds, and great experience in taking care of and cultivating flowers, are not the only qualities required of a florist : he should have an eye to the beautiful in color, the grouping and blending of ail the hues which adorn the parterre. We are created to derive pleasure from colors eauallv with music ; the charm of the former reaches the heart through the eye. that of the latter through the ear. There is no enjoyment of simple nature, more pleasing and elevating, than that derived irom the culture ot flowers. Surely when Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed line ine uowers oi me neio, mey snouia derive importance from their very nature ; and the art of blending them arranging them in the gar den according to the laws of harmony and color -should be more asiduously cultivated by every one who has a square yard of garden plot. Among the pleasures presented to us by the culture of flowering plants, there are few that exceed what we experience from the sight of a multitude of flowers varying in their color, form, and size, and in their arrangement upon the stem that supports them. It is probably owing to the aamirauon oestowea individually upon each, and to the attachment bestowed upon them in consequence of the great care they have required, that care has hitherto not been taken to arrange them in such a manner as to produce the best possible effect upon the eye, not only separately but collectively. Nothing, therefore, is more common, than a defect of proportion observed in the manner in which flowers of the same color are made to recur in a garden. At one time the eye sees nothing but blue or white, at another it is dazzled by yellow scattered around in profusion ; the evil effect of a predominating color may be further augmented, when the flowers are of approximating but still different shades of color. For instance, in the spring we meet with the jonvuil of a brilliant yellow, side by side with the pale yellow of the narcissus ; in the autumn the Indian pink may be seen next to the China rose and the astor, and dahlias of different red grouped together, &c. Approximations like these produce upon the eye of a person ac customed to judge of the effects of a contrast of colors, sensations that are quite as disagreeable as those experienced by the ear of the musician when struck by discordant sound. The princi pal rule to "be observed in the arrangement of flowers is" to place the blue next to the orange, and the violet next to the yellow, whilst red and pink .flowers are never seen to greater advantage than when surrounded by yerdure, and by white flowers ; the4 latter may also be advantageously dispersed among groups formed Of blue and orange, and of violet and yellow flowers. For, although a clump of white flowers may produce but little effect when seen apart, it cannot be denied that the same flowers must be considered as indispensable to the adornment of a garden when they are; seen suitably distributed ;&mong&t groups ot .flowers whose colors have been as sorted according to the law of contrast. Plants. whose flowers are to produce ' a contrast, should be of the same size, and in many cases the color ot the sand or gravel composing the ground ot $ie walks, or,b$ds of a garden, may be made, to conduce Jto.the general effect. ,,.Ia. laying, down the preceding; rules,', an arrangement of colors, different' from those-mentioned, "may" please th eye; out m adhering to them,' :we may always fcal certain, of ; producing assemblages el colo conformable to eood, taste whilst we should not , b$ equally, sure ot fuccess in a agings other . ar cangemenis. gsaeminc American.

Our 31ae E&d'i Second "Wife.' I do not think our Tittle neighbor was so much to blame as some might thinx he was, even if he did take another mate so soon after his first love had been cruelly cut off. It could not be for want of attachment to her, or want of respect to her memory, that within six weeks, he brought back from nis long journey another but not lovelier or sweeter companion forthe Robin family, who had lodgings in the fir tree near by, say he was ever the most tender and indulgent of wedded lords, to the first Mrs. Blue bird, , and the Orioles who -occasionally honored the lilac tree with their presence, and who are rather inclined to be shy of other bird people, assert that he
mourned her loss in a becoming manner, and for a suitable and fashionable period. The cause of this second marriage was enough to startle the most calm and quiet of the bird kingdom, no republic, from their gravity. Our Blue bird was young, when he courted and wed his first love. She too had been indulged by tender parents, and knew very little about how a home should be managed, on small means; but the young pair knew a home must be provided, one of their own too ; they had no idea of boarding out a year or two, sharing other people's homes. So a site was selected for the bird home. It was rather unromantic, being in the top of our old gate post, and liable to constant shocks when the wind blew from the river, but they were not nervous, did not care for trifles. The borne was soon complete, in and out ; 'twas indeed a labor of love,' and Mrs. Blue bird, forgetting previous habits, forgot to sing, and worked unremittingly in all weather. Then, when the last straw was nearly placed, the young couple moved in. Their furniture was plain, but it answered all needful purposes. They had no luxuries, save plenty of sweet air, and blessed sunlight. It must be confessed too, they had to work for a living, instead of having a portion from Mr. and Mrs. Blue bird, senior, but they had the fields and forest to furnish them food, and the dew on the leaves, or the bright sparkling waters, slaked their thirst and saved bills for coffee, tea and champagne. May passed with its budding, springing beau ty, and the little tamily in the gate post were still happy. June came - with , roses, and all its wealth of fruit and flowers, but in an evil hour, came disaster and distress. Our cat had no eye for beauty, no ear for melody, he had no fondness for birds, and often sat looking with envious, wicked eyes, at the "gate family. One day, when our faithful Blue bird had left his home for food to nourish his other dearer half, this sleekcoated, soft-stepping velvet-footed enemy, caught poor dear Mrs. Blue bird, and before aid could be afforded, the breath of life had gone, the little warm heart was stilled. Oh how sadly looked her loving mate, when he saw the desolate home ! yet what could he do but mourn ? his enemy was powerful, he was weak. We tried the wretch for premeditated murder, malice prepense, talked of confinement in solitude, but there we must feed him, perhaps a long life -time. 'Then capital punishment was serving him right,' said nearly all, when with such a look as only cats can bestow, she drew our attention or thoughts to the lordly creature man, who goes with powder and shot, and kills at one charge more than he had in a month. We had no ex cuse to offer, the culprit was dismissed. Two or three weeks wore away, the mourning occupant was absent; had he died of grief, or talien a victim to cats, or powder and snot? Another three weeks rolled by. One summer afternoon, ia the lilac sat our Blue bird, and shall I say it ? ,,4 new, companion I like many another hasty choice, it seemed rather unfortunate: the' new Mrs. Blue bird had a will and way of lier own; How he coaxed, ih his wheedling birdtongue, the new mate to occupy the old home, hejikgd it, would she not live there with him C 'No !' she looked at it in cold disdain, 'w home must be higher, better, she would not enter it..' The grieved and vexed Blue bird could only submit, for the Robins and Orioles were looking on, and what was the use of a strife so soon? So the father lilac was chosen, for the new home. I verily believe. ,tbat meddling old Mrs. Robin made the-last match. The Opal. ., Large Plates of Glass. The large glass now so common rarthe'shcV windows of stores, constitute one of the most costly as well as beautiful ornaments : These immense panes are made in Franceand the process, of their manufacture is thus described by the. New York Mirror; . The large plates' ate 'cast. . They comef from the. mould rough? and they must be polished.--What'aworkLt II seems an impossible one. $ui no fasten dowa the1 plate upon a .firm tabhf, and go to work just, as the marble men do uppn their slabs : , draw the heavy pblisjier backward and forward, hour; after' hpur wijh jBexhaustitle patience,' arid tW sharp friction after a while prevails - As. the wcrk' advances, finer and' finer polishing jpcrwders are, usedy uadJ at- leagth you find the, workmen engaged witV 50ft rolhr of cot: ton fabric, vet,witht some nice polishing mixture, which gives' the higet perfectioa of surface.' - It is not strange that these plates should cost something..!

A Wolfd to Appreatices. Not many apprentices, while such, realize the importance to themselves of becoming thoroughly acquainted with all branches of their businesss, and of acquiring the ability of doing work welU and atHhe same time rapidly. . In the first place, in order to pursue any trade successfully, a certain degree of education especially adapted to that branch of business; is absolutely necessary 5 and if a boy finds binself deficient in that particular when he commences his apprenticeship, he should immediately ."and resolutely set jbout improving himself. . Many men have securecian education under disadvantages which no Bbyin thse days can experience after they were 30 yeVs old j but it is easier and better done in youth i V It should be your determined aim to get a practical knowledge of all that pertains to your business. In order to do this, wheri anything new is shown you however unimportant it may appear make a note of it in your mind, so that you will never need twice telling. Having learned how a thing is done, always do it as rapidly as it can be well done. Slow boys generally make slow men the exceptions are few. v You must not suppose you can loiter through, your apprenticeship, doing but half the work you are capable of doing with reasonable exertion, and then, when you have attained your majority, suddenly take the rank of first class workmen ; we have never seen it done. ; The difference ia prices paid to journeymen in the 'same business, is very exeat. We can speak more . particularly of printing, but the remaVf is ge&erailyjpKca uie. aii me country, wane some journeymen printers receive $6 50 to $7 50 per week, others are obliged to work for $4 to $5. ' In the large cities, the contrast is still greater. Steady journeymen, who are fast compositors, ready readers of manuscript and good at punctuating, receive from $9 to ill 4 per week while those who are but dunces at the business are entirely excluded from the best paying offices, and find it difficult to earn more than a subsistence in such offices as will employ them at all. v; Ah apprentice should never feel that he doing 'too much" for his employer that he doeS' not get paid for his labor that he is uader .ioo strict government. That boy who does cot make, the interest of his employer emphatically his own interest, will take but poor care of bis own, if he ever has any. Business habits are formeol ifi youth not assumed in manhood and the boy who is actuated by right motives, and who is dje-? termined to excel in the busine&s he has chosen, will watch over everything committed to his care with the same solicitude he would evince were it his own. It is the interest of every apprentice, especially in view of his comiagmajority, to make his services as valuable and as inaispensibly necessary to his employer, as possible. Such a" boy will never fail doing weu ia the world. Freeman's Journal.
