I'OHTICAL ASYLUM 4fttVm4& Frcm The Token: for 1828. MYHOM& AND THEE. I love the landsc ipe and its heavenly hue. The rolling river and the swelling sea, The deep green valley and the mountain blue ; But Cettcr still I love my home and thee. I love bold nature's voice, loud ocean's roar. The pouring cataract, and the melody OF winter winds and sighing woods but more I love the voice of love my home and thee. I have an eye that sees, a heart that feels. The charm that nature flings o'er lawn tl lea ! Yet on my heart a frequent sadness steals To think, how far 1 am from home and thee. Yet I can mingle with the thoughtless throng, And catch perchance their momentary gleeCan taste of wine, and listen to the song 13 nt oh ! my heart is with my home and thee ! Forthou'rt my mark, and I A wandering bird, That finds no place to rest its weary wing ; O swiftly then the bury breeze be stirr'd. And back to home and thee my bosom bring. Preparation of Steel The man

ner of making steel is this. A bar of

iron is heated in a vessel containing

charcoal, and it is kept exposed for a

long time to the heat ; it is ultimate

ly found that the bar of iron has been

penetrated, or permeated, as it were.

with the vapor of carbon, which was combined with it throughout, and

formed carburet of iron. When Withdrawn from the furnace, it is found to be blistered; Its fracture and general appearance are altered, and it is then known under the name of blistered steel. The bars of this first manufacture arc heated aain, and drawn down into smaller bars, by powerful machinery, and beaten, and it is then called tilted strel ; Which, when broken up and welded a d drawn into bars, forms shear strel ; and this, when melted among some vitrifying flux and cat iron bars forms what is called east stee! or English steel. The properties of Steel are rxceedinglv singular: its texture varies in different specimens ; Sometimes it presents more or less of a crystalline fracture, and silky in ot hei s ; acid the appearance of the frac ture leads the artist to apply it to par ticular purposes. We should see. in the selection of steel for any purlieu lar use, that the fn-.elure is regular; and il we see a spot in it more white than another. wip it over with nitric acid ; and if the spot become- darker, the specimen is nor g d steel. It melts m re readily than iron, and

comes softer ; it is now soft enough

for pen knives and certain surgical

instruments, and other purposes ; at

500 deg. or from 515 to 530 cleg, it

becomes ye! low. and beinn9 to acquire a purple tint ; from 53d to 550

deg it becomes decidedly purple, and is then fit for common knives and other instruments requiring great toughness- At 550, or from that, to 5S0 deg the steel begins to acquire a blue colour, and it is soft enough in that state for a number of purpo ses, especially for thin blades intend ed to have great elasticity and little hardness; and, at 590 cleg, it becomes so soft as to be bent without any risk ol breaking, a- is H e case in

" We ue enabled to communicate to our i ciders, that most interesting discoveries have recently been made in the interior of the important, but hitherto little known, island of Mad agascar. through the labor ious and indefatigable exertions of captain Car nes. late owner and commander

of the Ittmstral. This gentleman (who was employed by government to settle the new established settle ment of Melville Island) had the misf rtuneto lose his ship which, with the government brig lady Nelson, employed on the came survice was cut off by the Malays at one of the Blolucea islands.
