know well its power, and bow iodispen- j sible it is. The pan may stimalate and i i incite to greatness, bat it cannot aciiieve | l it ; the sword beods all things to its | will, but it bnros-like a consuming fire, j and mankind writhes in sgooy before it. | Only the hammer is all-pow*fful and I | peecefnl By it thoossnds lire and grow rich. With it meo amass wealth and build up the bulwarks of the nation ; i hunger is kept at bay, and famine is pot to flight : peace rxalts her hfad, and hard fisted toil finds no time, leisure, nor inclination to wreath tbe bow of Mara. Tbe pen bows to (he hammer . ' and does it homage. A man msy live ' in physical comfort without a book in the boose, but he cauoot exist without I ■ being indebted to the hammer or its ' equivalent The pen sings tbe praises ] of thv hammer, sod* indites eulugioms upon its numerous achievements; few - are the monuments tbe hammer deigns | to raise in honor of Iiterofiire. The pen j is mightier than tbe sword, becanse it , | achieves its object through reason and - ' not force, and also in that it is infinitely j more civilizing and bumaDe in its efforts , upon the world ; but the Itpmmer cooquers even more territory than the pen, t and is, in its way, invincible. No country is too rsmote, or any wild too savage , to resist its weight, nor any metal, wood, I I or vegetable powerful enongb to defy ^ J it. Without the hammer — a symbol of r toil, at tba pen is of tboogbt, and the I sword of violence — the world could not ( exist in comfort and refinement. 1 ' 80NG8 IX THE MGHT. i : f When Samuel Rutherford was sen - I fenced to imprisonment in tbe city of .

-j HISTOEI OF in ntCKB POTATO. N - ' ► e That variety of potato knowo in some i sections of the country as the Cheaango, , j or Philadelphia, in others a* the Mer- . c^r, in others as the Neshanio (a cor- , j ' rnption of Neshanoc,) has perhaps been I j more generally cultivated for several | , years past than any other kind. The j Farmer's Cabinet gives the history of j t 1 this potato, which is substantially as ! 1 follows In the year 1792 a family by i tbe name of Gilky came from the coonty j f of Derry, in Ireland, and settled In f Westmoreland coonty, Pennsylvania. . In. November, 1797. two members of ; i jthia family, John and James Gilky, re- I I moved to Mercer coonty, Pennsylvania, t i and settled abont two miles east of Ne; i sbsnock Creek. In 1801 or 1802 Johof i Gilky planted a quantity of potato balls ' r (or seeds,) from red, blue, white, sod j i other varieties. From the potatoes pro- ' i duced from these balls, Mr Gilky select ted the variety above named. They | were sooo after cultivated and brouubt r into notice near Philadelphia, and from i thence have been disseminated over the whole country. This history was writ- ! , ten by James Gilky, brother of Joho, ■ who produced tbe potatoes. In an aci count of the origin of this potato, pub- 1 , lisbed a few years ago, it is staled that John Gilky was educated for a Catholic | ' priest, and that he was an exile froth tbe ! Rmerald Isle, Ac., which bis brother says is incorrect. HEB0I8M Of 4 WOIiX. A San Francisco print relstes tbe . circom'tances of s most heroic end intrepid act, on the part of a lady, which was performed last month in tbe Indian country. About tbe 15th of March, a telegraphic dispatch was published in the papers telling tbe story lo the effect , that the Overland Mat! coach had beer attacked by the Indians near Canon Station, aod tbe driver killed. On the 25th, a lady named Mrs. John H. Gerrish, with her child, arrived in 8an Francisco from tbe Kast, through the Over-* : laud Route, and pot up at tbe Occidco- j , tal Hotel. She was the only passenger, ] , beside her little one, in tbe very same coach on the box of which the driver ' was shot by\tbe Indians. Tbe dispatch j i therefore, was true, bnt tbe whole troth i ' was not told The details of tbe affair, j ' j as narrated by this lady, are most thril- j I ! and herself the principal actor ia | 1 them. Instantaneously with tbe shoot- i 1 , ing of tjie driver, Mrs. Gerrish leaped < ; oat of the stage leaving her child with- ' j in. At the same moment, fonr or five ' ' shots more were fired by tbe Indians, ' ' one of which struck a horse in the head, ancrte fen Bhe ^ V, *]Jri 'flPJUn.

Tne three horses were p pot to the top of their speed, aod eon- . tinned runniog for about two miieo; . I when luckily tbay encountered another 1 stage from the opposite direction. In this were a number of soldiers, who instantly cums to tbe aid of the heroiae, when she and her child were released { from their perilous position. Mrs. Gerrish is a very yonng woman, and of deli icat physique ; bnt bar conduct daring this frightfal sdventore exhibited coor- : sge aad presence of mind rarely equaled, j and never surpaased by tbe sterner sex. ' She is a native of Ohio, and bad been i ; on a visit to her Atlantic friends. She | went north to join her bnsband, who ia i at present in Oregon. — - | j SPIRITUAL BELIEF 0F THE BILUXG8E6. 1 AB BIT DOWN ar THE BILUKSSKE.

THE W0XBKR& OF i WATCH. 1 s . There are very few of tbe many who J carry watches who ever think of the ; . complexity of its deiicste mechanism, or ofjhe extraordinary and oocessing labor , , iTt performs, and bow astonishingly well I i it bears up and does its duty under what , would be considered very shabby treatC ment in almost any other machinery. ! i There are many who think a watch , j onght to rou and keep good time for , | years without even a drop of oil, who : , would not think of running a common piece of machinery a day without oiling, p the wheels of which do bnt a fraction of the service. We were forcibly struck with this thought tbe other day, upon bearing r 'Mr. G. M. Zabm remark tbst, by wsy ,!°f gratifying bis coriosity, he bad made I j a calculation of tbe revolutions which i th# wheels in sn American watch make in t day and year. The result of this , 1 calculation is as suggestive as it it interesting. For example: The main wheel makes 4 revolutions in 24 hoars, , or 1460 in a year ; tbe second or ecu ire i wheel, 24 revolutions in 24 hours, or ' 8760 in a year; the third wheel, 192 in 124 hours, or 69,080 in a year; the ! fourth wheel, (which carries the secondhand,) 1440 in 24 hours, or 525 600 in ' a year ; the fifth, or 'scape wheel, 12.960 I in 24 hoors, or 4.728,400 revolotions in , ; s year ; while the beats or vibrations 'made in 24 hours ore 388,800, or 141, 819,000 in a year. — I.anctuter Exprnr MISCELLANEOUS ENIGMA.

CMILMKNfi FEET. 1 I A writer in Hall's Journal of Health says that life-long discomfort, disease sod , ' sudden death often come to children . through tbe inattention or carelessness of 1 I parents. A child should oever allowed to go to sleep with cold fret; the thing to t>« ' : last attended to in putting a child to bed should be to see that the feet arc dry and warm ; neglect ef this has often resulted in 1 a dangerous attack of croup. d(pthena. or fatal sore thhoat Always. 00 coming from , school. 00 entering the house from a visit . or errand, in rainy, muddy, or thawy weather, the child's -hoes should be re1 movad. and thtfnothersboold herself ascertain if tbe stockiogs are the least damp, and if ao. should requite them to be taken off. tbe feet held to the fire and robbed with ! the haod until perfectly dry, aod soother ! pair of stockings be put on end another i ' pair of rhoes, while the other stockings and shoes should be placed where ibey can be well dried, so as to be ready for use at a moment's notice.

"spoiling for a fight." Wjritere wka.Jodulge in tbe use of such pbtnses know pot hing of armies, or do no y Mate what they know, uolcas indeed tbry know it to bw false. The toldiers themselves ttngh at those expressions when they see them, and none laugh heartier than those a score of times conspicuous fot the cheerfulness with which tbey have goqe into battle, and their steadiness aod pluck under withering Ore. They are not conscious of any eagerness for the fray, any amorous inclination toward ballets, any praehant for meetiog shells half way. and lupging for a short sleep and shortened limb under the surgeon's hands, I soy especial haste to be mustered owt in this and tt> b» mustered in is another world.

They differed in opinioo as much as ill shape of the beautifol members whose merits tbey were discussing. A gentlemen friend presented himself, and by commoa consent th* question was referred to him. It was a delicate matter. He thought of Paris and tbe three goddesses. Glancing from one lo the other of the beautiful while hands presented for his examination, he replied at last : "I give it up— the question is too bard for me ; but sak the poor, and they will tell you that the moat beautiful hard iu tha world is tba band thai ' giV"*' | I^vt Hta ax UsNxxHERcn. — It is aot generally knowo that tbe noble Craven, tho commander of ibe monitor Tccumseh. lost bis life in obedience to u chivalrous an impulse as ever prompted tin. most heroic knicht of old.
