M .rbles are known from the Latin
woad ma:eor, by which dialler play-
things edge known 1. the hors el Rase
two showed years age. Some 4dles
are made of potters' dye gad baked in
an oven JIM like eltatbillware is 1j11hs&
but mesa et them ase made of a haat
kind of etas, found in Saxony, Ger'
many. Marbles me owsutsotured in
gnat number, and sent to all part of
the world, aad eves to China, for the
u se of the Chinese children. The stere
is broken up with a hammer into little
square pieces which are then ground
round in a mil. The mill has a feed
d ab of stow, with its surface full of
grooves err furrows. Above this a flat
block of oak wood, of the same sine u
the stow, is made to turn rapidly around
and while turning, little streams of
water run in the grooves and keep the
mill from getting too hut. About one
hundred of the square pieces of stone are
put iuto the grooves at once, and in a
few minutes are made round and pol-
ished by the wooden block.
China and white marble also are used
to make the round rollers which have
delighted the hearts of boys of all na-
tions for hundreds of years. Marbles
thus made are known to the boys u
"chinas" or "alleys." Real chinas are
made of porcelain clay, and baked like
chinaware or other pottery. Some of
them hare a pearly glare, and some of
them are painted in various colors that
will net rub off, because they are baked
in, just as the pictures on plates and
ether tableware.
Glue marbles are known u "agates.
They are made both of clear end colored
glass. The former are made by taking
up a little melted glass upon the end of
an iron rod, and making it round by
dropping it into an iron mould, which
shapes it, or by whirling it around the
head until the glass is made into s little
ball. Sometimes the figure of a dog or
a squirrel or kitten, or some other object
is planed on the end of the rod, • and
when it is dipped in the melted glass the
glass flows all around it, and when the
marble is done the animal can be seen
shut up in it. Colored glaze marbles are
made by holding a bunch of glass rods
in the fire until they melt. then the
workman twists them found into • ball
or presses them in a mould, so that when
done the marble is marked with bands
or ribbor.s of color. Real agates, which
are the nicest of all marbles, are made
in Germany, out of the stone called
agate. The workmen chip the pieces of
agate nearly round with hammers, and
" then grind them round and smooth on
grindstones.

Before returning to Americo, Lung -

with the utmost seal the language and

absence of nearly four years, he wended
his way back to B.wdoin college, and

Mr. Nixon of Ingersoll is a well known
implement manufacturer. His views on
the tariff are published and accord we
suppose with those of other inen in' the
same line of lousiness.. He considers the
old 174 per cent tariff quite enough pro-
tection.. for him. The new taxes fall en-
tirely upon the fanner so far as imple-
ments are concerned. The cost of man-
ufacture has 'peen raised by the imposi-
tion of duty on the 'roe and coal as well
as paints, ods and other articles. Thus
in a seed drill the new taxes raise the
cwt by $3. In Mr. Nixon's business
the lifference between the N. P. and
the old tariff amounts to $6,000 a year,
which he adds to hie prices, either by
making parts of the machines lighter,
saving labor upon them our increasing the
price. In either case the farther pays
the difference. Yui the fanner gains
absolutely ,e..thow by the N. 1'. A good
Ileal of the loss i, shifted upon his
shoulders, some 1.1 it falling heavily
enough upon persons on fixed incomes,
laborers, unprotected business teen such
u printers an publishers, tradesmen and
many Others, but the great mass of it
falls upon the farmers, because as a class
they are the heavy consumers of our
country. —1 Waterloo. Chronicle.

While occupying his petition of pro-
fessor at the college, he continued to fol-
low his literary career with indefatigable
vigiladce.
In 1835, having already, at the age
of twenty-eight, been recognised as a
man of mark, he was appointed to
the professorship of modern languages
and belles letters in Harvard college,
Cambridge. Mr. Longfellow again left
his native land, and sailed for Northern
Europe, in order to make himself thor-
oughly acquainted with the languages
and literature of Denmark and Sweden.
"Voices of the Night," the earliest
collection of his poems, was given to the
world in 1839. In 1841, appeared
"Ballads and other Poems;" i.t 1842,
"Poen on Slavery;" in 1843, the play
entitled, "The Spanish Student."
Having for years cultivated his natur-
al poetic power, and made himself one
of the most skillful versifiers of the time,
Mr. Longfellow in 1847 published his
"Evangeline,"—a melancholy story
written in hexameters—an experiment
which though it was in the opinion of
critics somewhat hiiaardous for a poet of
reputation to venture upon, , he tried
with no slight success.
It was not until 1855 that his "Song
of Hiawatha" was published—a poem
worthy of his fine taste and talent, in
which is displayed the delicacy of senti-
ment, the literary art, the elegance of
style, and the exquisite simplicity of ex-
pression which had characterized his
other works, and which .made his name
widely known as one of the great poets
of the age. Of this poem, the Ypectator
observed, that "for playful and tender

'Saved !' he said, with a querulous
laugh. Then I laughed. 'You don't
believe me. It a true though. I'm
afraid to go an the stage.'
'Pahaw, nun !' I said, 'why; you are

my troubles, and he said, 'I can tell you
one thing for your consolation; you'll
never get over it. I suffer every time I
go before an audience, and am afraid. of
my own congregation.' But this experi-
ence doesn't seem to give me much com-
fort.'
'Does your fear vanish when you get
on the stage 1'
'No, it lasts some time, usually. I
poke around among the audience for a
familiar face, and when I find a friend I
lecture right at him and don't notice
anybody else. Gough tells me that he
does the same thing. He says he often
finds himself talking to some sympathet-
ic and responsive little troup in one cor-'
ner, telling[ his stories to them alone, as
if they were in a little room together.'
He looked at his wat_h. 'It's most
time to go on the stags. If it was re-
spectable I'd ran away. The notion of
feigning sickness often comes over me as
it does over school -boys who want to
play hookey. Are you my jailer ?' look-

seemed waiting for him.
'Yes; you have four minutes yet.'

'Not this evening. Any other even-

ton. When he appeared here, although
he had lectured five hundred times, he
was ao frightened that we couldn't get
him on the stage for a long time. The
hall was full, the audience clamored.
and he, hesitating to face them, walked
up and down the nota, washing his

BOOTS AND SHOES
At the Oldest Setalliahed Shoe Store is Tows,
In Endless Variety,
A stranger who appeared to have assn
a great deal of this cold and unfeeling
world entered a ferry dock saloon yester-
day, and after warming himself for a
moment at the stove, around which was
a large circle of mariners, he advanced
to the bar and called for whisky and two
glasses. A stiff drink was poured into
each, and taking up one in his fingers,
the man turned to the crowd.
"Gentlemen, if there is a liar present
I invite him to step up and drink with
me."
A sort of tremor ran through the
crowd, but no one moved. The stran-
ger gazed around in blank astonish-
ment, and fin4ly said to ons old tug
captain:
"Well this beats me. What's the
matter?"
"The matter is," slowly replied the
captain, as he took his legs off the stove,
"that any man who expects fourteen
Iiars to drink out of one tumbler at the
same time is altogether too fresh for
this locality ! You are no gentleman, sir
—nu gentleman !"
OR the 27th of May, 1868 Mr. Long-
fellow took his departure from America,
on another visit to England. He visit-
ed Cambridge on the 16th of June and
received from the ancient university in
that town the degree of doctor of laws
(LLD.), amidst much Isnthusiasm
from a large and distinguished auditory.
On the afternoon of Saturday the 4th
of duly, Longfellow had the honor of
an interview with the Queen at Windsor
castle; and during his stay in London,
he had a grand dinner given to him at
1 the Laugham hotel, Portland palace, by
the distinguished artist, Mr. Reinstadt.

The world hu seen many such in-
stances as the present wild and feverish
speculation but always with the same re-
sult. The laws of economy cannot be
violated with impunity. The North-
West is not to built up by speculation in
village lots, but its pryvrels may that
way be greatly retarded. A building lot
which cannot be required for actual tae
for the next fifty years has no present
value, and the present prices paid for
such lots have no counterpart, except in
the payment of some such sum as $000,-
000 fur a tulip as near, black as it could
be grown, or some similar act of un-
reason which men commit in periods of
mania. It is futile to tell us that our
North-West is going to reverse the whole

The bill to amend the law of evidence
in criminal cases by allowing agntstics
to affirm instead of taking the oath, is
being pushed by Mr. Robertson, of
Hamilton. It will probably become
law. As we pointed out a few days ago,
there iasotnetimes great difficulty in de-
ciding to which class a ase belongs—
civil or criminal, and as the law has been
amended so as to allow agnostics to give
evidence -in civil cases it should be simi-
larly amended in regard to criminal
cases. As no other province has a law
enandng agnostics to give evidence in
civil cases but Ontario, the bill proposes
that the Dominion' measure, should it
become law, shall only apply to this pro-
vince. Than who affirm are to be sub-
ject to the same laws regarding perjury
as those who formally take the oath.
The French Government has introduced
a measure by which witnesses may affirm
instead of taking the oath. England
has had **similar law on the statute book
for some years.
