Proverbs In *'*Vlght Thoughts."
Tbe "Night Thoughts,"' by Edward Young,
contain many an apt Hoe that ''has paised into ft
proverb/'    Here is ft budget:
•■Wo. ink'1 no note of time
But from iw loss,1'
That in a proverb ; a<) is   the  pointed declaration—
"All. all on earth in shadow, all beyond
la substance j"
nnii still more unquestionably the following, forit
has Ion.' .-in*" p i-- id into lhe common parlance of
the world, in use among many people who know
not the name of its author :
•'All men think mil men mortal but themselves."
What Utter apologue to the conscience tbau this
line?
"The spiril walks of every day deceased."
An aspiration in hardly prove*, bin I, or we would
instance the Appeal to Lorenzo:
"0, for the yesterdays to come I"
Of tbe following there is no question ; El is
declarative, and fulfills every condition of a proverb:
"Love, and love only. Is the loan for love.-'
Similar to ihis   ■  ie    '■'■' >"" -sion :
"Hearts are proprietors of all applause."
So, too, the often remarked creative efforts of
thu imagination In enhancing the terrors of death :
'■Man makes a death which nature never made." j
It ie to Young, and not to Go!clemilli, thot we j
must assign the sentence—they both have it, buti
ihe latter borrowed it—
"Man wants hut litile : nor that litlle long."
It would be  well if some  of those   loudest   in;
their praises of Young, would bear in mind thej
following :
'- Tiii impious in a good man to be sad.".
The concluding Hue in  the  Fourth  Night  is
memorable:
"Men may live fools, lint fools they cannot die."
What a world of trouble tbe following might
save critics and  fault finders !    It quite puts out
the lantern of Diogenes :
" 'Tis vain to seek in men more than man.''
Solomon has been before Young with tbis:
"The man of wisdom is the man of years."
How oft has the experience of the world pointed to the following :
"Death loves it shining mark, a signal  blow."
There is nobleness wliich cannot he lo familiar
to u to thi* I
"Pigmiesare pigmies still, though perch'd on Alp."
wilh its accompanying g.oss :
"Our hearts ne'er bow but to superior worth."
The allib.-i'iitien  dies ju.-iicu   to  a  noble sentiment in the following :
"'Tis moral  grandeur makes the  mighty man.'

BxiST Baku it's Bosnkt.—Tho collection in tbe
rooms ol the Rhode Islam! Society for the encouragement of Domestic Industry has received nn interesting addition—a bonnet braided by Mrs. Betsy
Baker, inexact Imitation, braid.shape nnd trimming
of llie lirst straw bonnet ever braided in this country. Sixty-one years ago, wben this venerable lady
was n blooming maiden, she determined  to have a
straw bonnet    Not knowing any other way to get
it than to braid it herself, Miss Betsy Metealf, lhat
was her maiden name, saw nu imported Dunstab
■traw bonnet in Col. Whipple's store, and being a
true Vntikee girl, she aet herself to work lo imitate
it. Wiib no instruction, without tbe opportunity
of unbraidiiig a specimen of lhe work to see bow it
was done, she, persevered till she had m ide a bon-
n-'t tlmt wus lhe envv of lhe other girls. Thence
■prong up a business winch to day employs lU.OOO
people, and turns out 6,0110.000 bonnets' and huts
iiiiiiually in the single Slate of Massachusetts.
The public attention wus Qrttdirected to the subject, nud to lhe service whieh one young lady's Ingenuity bad rendered to ihe country, by the me-
moil' of Jadge Staples, the secretary of the society.
Her portrait, painted by Lincoln, and presented to
the society by Gov. Dyer, hangs upon the wall of
the secretary's oflice. A few-das since she presented to tbe society a fue simile of the first bonnet
lluit she braided, and it will be presented as a memorial   of a  UKHt   interesting  incident, I QsOteC
with n large and Important branob of domestic pro-
iliielinn. The bonnet, il may be supposed, dillers
materially from those now in use.-•Prondenee

valuable invention, for the purpose of supply-
i ig tlie counties ot Los Angeles, -Sun Bernardino
a id San Diego, is uow prepared t« execute all or-
*l.;rs with whicli he may be favored.
The public ure award that it has been the study of
a -.ieutilie men, architects and builders, fbr many years
11 discover nu article tor Rooliug purposes, that will
withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious
11 water, and of sure protection against tire, The
j ireutor of tliis ''ooling labored many years to combine articles which would answer the above purpose
and obviate the dilliculties of rust and decay attend-
ant upon tin and shingles, and the destruction by
tie sun aud frost ofthe various compositions used
fjr rooting. This ho succeeded in doing, and now,
alter six years ot the severest trial we would invite
the careful attentien of all interested in such matters,
believing that they will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
whieh respects we believe that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can readily be applied
to root's of every description, either steep or fiat, aud
can be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost ot the latter.
Two coats of the mastic put on over au old leaky
tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-third of
the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, wliich is thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water proof preparation, alter which
it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of the
flour of soapstone, which sets into the texture of the
canvass, aud gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic aud durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
is pat apon tbe roof, another coating ol mastic, whicli
is thoroughly tilled with sand, is given it, making it
fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that
cau be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as
durable as niivthing known; and we do most candidly
and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything
of the kind yet discovered; and alter a severe lest
ut many years, stand ns reliable and good as when
first put on, without change or decay. All that we
a*k is, that a careful examination may be given it,
and we feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we olfer of it. Annexed we give
you the names of some of the persons using this
roofing, and to whom we are at liberty to refer

New Yok, Sept. 26.—It is stated in London that
Spain had returned au evasive reply to the nues-
tiou from England touching the concentration of
troops in the neighborhood ot Gibraltar.
The goTcrnmeuts of France and England were
to take immediate measures for inflicting ehastise-
ment ontheCinese.
The Florence correspondent of the London
Times says that it is reported that Pope Pius bad
received nnctiou, or the sacrament administered
tothe dying.
Advices received at Madrid from Tangiers, state
that in consequence of the agitation caused by the
death of the Emperor of Morocco, all the foreign
consuls at that place had barricaded their houses
aud armed their dependents; also that all the
Christians iu the Empire were leaving iu haste.—-
Another account says that the larnilies of the consols had taken refuge on board a Spanish steamer
The Florence correspondent of the Loudon
Times says, a treaty was signed on the 27th of
August, between the Papal government and the
Qu«en of Spain, by which the latter engages to
occupy the Roman States with troops wheu the
French forces are withdrawn.
Sir Wm. Eyer, the late commandr of the forces
in Canada, died on Thursday.
Some of the Madrid journals publish articles on
the necessity of taking Gibraltar from the English
—no matter by what means.
Nkw Your, Oct. i.—The Herald's Washington
dispatch says that bids for the transportation of
supplies to the army in Utah and New Mexico,
were opened at the War Department on Saturday.
The Secretary being absent, the President deemed it of sufficient importance to no to the Department and bave the bids opened and registered before him.

"Ion" of the Baltimore Sun of Tuesday, speaking of the Charleston convention, says :
" It is more certain than ever that the northern
delegation!) Will defer to the wishes of the southern delegates, both in regard toa platform and to
the nomination of candidates for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency. The South must furnish
nearly all the electoral votes, and of course have a
right to choose the candidates. If a Southern
man be nominated as President, it is very probable
that Governor Horatio Seymour will be selected as
Vice Preaideiit.in deference to Ihe wishes of the vast
majority of the Democrats of the Empire State,—
It is thought that his name on the ticket would go
far to secure the electoral vote of New York ; bin
I must say that no one can ''count upon New
York*"'iu any event. But the re iit ol the Fall
elections may indicate a change favorable te the
Democracy."

Washington, October 5.—Ou the recent reception of the new Brazilian Minister, by the I'reni-
denl, tbe latter took occasion to express the hope
that the Brazilian government would still farther
move the restriction on our commerce wilh that
country.
But little information has been received  iu offi-
ttl quarters iu addition to what was telegraphically staled yesterday, relative to the filibuster
movement?.
As to the reported departure of a party of fill-
liiisters, the ouly authentic account in the possession of ihe Government is, that they luft iu a tugboat, about ten miles below New Orleans, hut * iiich
ciiiiid not convey thuin to their place of deetlntV
liou. Tbey doubtless expected to be taken on
board a larger and more suitable steamer. In tbe
mean time, Collector Hatch aud bis deputies and
other federal officer*"*, are, according to their instructions, resorting to every legitimate meaus
to intercept the filibusters. In addition toother
measures, vessels haB been dispatched for tbe pur-
p-jse-
While these things are progressing in thu QeiglV
boihood of New Orleans, information has been
received that a number of tilibustersare in Mobile,
some of whom were prominent in tbe Susan filibustering expedition, which vessel, It wi:l bo recollected, wae wrecktd at Glover's Reel.
Tbe Federal officers bave been instructed to
watch their movements and act accordingly,
It is not yet considered necessary

naval forces
in his fifty-fourth year was the natural result ofan
overtaxed brain aud careless regimen. He was an
inveterate smoker, and at the commencement of
his engineering career was never without a cigar
in his mouth. Ho frequently worked twenty
hours a day, and as frequently all night; and
the writer of this memoir has known him to
abstain from going to bed an entire week.—
Wilh the exception of smoking he was tem
perate aud even abstemious. In 1835 he married Mias Fanny Halsey, of Kensington, hy whom
be had oueson. His great engineering achievements are familiar to the world. Few ofthe enterprises he projected profited the sto;k hold era,
and by many hu was denounced for the extravagance of the means he employed to etlect his ob-

ne had a remarkable narrow escape from death
on one occasion. He had invited a juvenile party
lohis house, and by way of amusing the children
was performing bo no conjuring tricks. Oue ol
these consisted iu pretending to swallow a piece
of money and bringing it out of the ear. He took
a half sovereign (a coin about as large as a hall
dime) and jerked into his mouth, but so violently
that it entered the windpipe, where it stuck edgewise. Surgeons were sent for, but all their efforts
to extract it proved fruitless. He remained two
days iu a slate of choking,but at last cured himself
by means ol a frame which he caused to be constructed, which win*-so contrived as lo bold him
upside down ; and wliile in this position, by incessant patting ou the back, the obstinate coin wan
at last dislodged, and Mr. Brunei recovered from
his imminent danger. We believe this to ho the
only instanc-:ofasubstauec remaining lu the windpipe withoutcausingdealh.
The following statement is made by the Banner
ol Ulster:
The Right Hon. Chief Baron Pigott, (a Catholic
Judge,) in seulencing three prisoners at the Down
Assizes for riot and assault, iu connection with a
miserable exhibition of party feeling, look occasion to refer to the religious movements of the
North as having extinguished all parly animosities, and produced the most wholesome moral results upon the community at large. His lordship
spoke iu the most favorable terms of the movement, and expressed a hope that It would extend
over lhe whole country, and influence society te
its lowest depths. As this important statement
of the Judge was delivered shortly before our reporter reached Downpatrick on the morning of
Friday last, we are thus enabled to present it to
our reuders in a full form, lt is altogether a striking teistimouy to thit genuineness of the work,
and bears its appropriate lesson of reproof to
those Unitarian and Episcopal divines who buvt*
shown such a hostility to the movement.
The Vai.uk ok Heurkw.—A German paper relates the lollowing anecdote, prefixing it by the
i-jnery "What is the use ot Hebrew?" An eminent
Parisian financier, of tbe Jewish faith, knew the
secret of the recent annistico several days befere
t -.-.'.i-A actually concluded, and he wasdesirous of
communicating intelligence of the coming event
to the heads of his house at Berlin, lint how wus
t to be done? The electric wire in by no means
i safe con'Mant I'or a secret. The banker bit up-
in a device; be wrote a telegraphic dispatch and
concluded it io tho folluwiug words: "Sett
Scholetn will shortly arrive." Scholem is a Hebrew word signify in* Peace. In the IWlin
houRe, where the Hebrew language wan understood, the true meaning ol the announcement of
Uerr Scliolem's expected arrival wan readily interpreted.      	
The Wkeii ami its Mo\-i:y Value.- -The number
of cigar* consumed iii France was hs follows:—

accompanied it, and whi oh should be commemorated by national centennial anniversaries, may ba
enumerated chronologically as follows :

There were, of course, numerous important
events throughout the war of the Revolution,
m y of which are of a national clmracter, but
most rather of local importance. These of course
will I elebrated or observed only In particular
(ocaltl'O-**, ■ lhe individuals who took part in
