Be kind to thy father, for when thou wcrt young, Who loved thee so fondly as he ? He caught the first accents thnt fell from thy tongue, And joined in thy innocent glee. Ue kind to thy father, for now he is old, His locks intermingle with gray ; His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold, Thy father is passing away. He kind to thy mother, for lo ! on her brow May traces of sorrow be seen ; Oh Well may it thou cherish and comfort her now, For loving and kind hath she been. Remember thy mother for thee will she pray, As long ns Qtfd giveth her breath ; With accents of kindness, then cheer her lone way, E'cu to the dark valley of death. Be kind to thy brother his heart will have dearth, If the smile of thy joy be withdrawn; The tlowers of feeling will fade at their birth, If the dew of affection be gone. Be kind to thy brother wherever you arc, The love or brother shall he An ornament purer and richer by far Than pearls from the depth of the sea. Be kind to thy sister not many may know The depth of tnie sisterly love ; The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms Itelow The surface that spirkles above. Tbv kindness shall bring to thee many sweet hours, And blessings thy pathway to crown ; A flection shall weave thee a garlind of lowers, Moro precious than wealth or renown. Western Eloquence tool, conwiN. The Rev. loShPnl F. TYtti.k, of Marietta, Ins con- ' tt'ihnUA n n-iwirlnlL- ti-nth'ti iirlii-lo l.i tlie (h !,,!.,. r number of the Bibltoa Repos'-tory and Classical Review, on the subject of the West nnd Western Eloquence, from which we extract the following notice of the Oratory of Ohio's favorite hoik Senator CoftWIH I The heteroirr neons character of Western iiudienced opposes no ordinary harrier to the highest success in eloquence, and results in Iwo marked characteristics : xocHSive caution m iitliuliu to imy tiling calculated to excite prejudice in n mixed multitude, and the use of appeals (handed on principles so broad and incon- trovertibh as to be universally ndmitted Whether these are favorable to the growth of elo quence, let others decide ; and yet facts stand out pro minent, s iiiwinir that vast nia.-' ot men a he est. have been moved by such means, as when tempest , rushes over the calm Ocean, stirring its lowest depths, and marshalling the world of waters into contending waves. An instance of this kind occurred at the great I polilical meeting held nt Dayton, Ohio, in the fall of 649 in honor of Henry Clay. There was tretnend ous enthusiasm when this distinguished statesman ad- tlressed the multitudes, variously estimated from 000 to I $1,000 ; hut it arose not so much from the ac tual power he wen exerted, as from the remembrance of nu eventful life, crowned with splendid achieve ments, which now gathered their laurels about, his head, Ot course the town was crowded full; and m such a crowd but little rest could be obtained during the night succeeding the meeting. The fatigues of the previous day and night would not predispose men to be moved by ebupienci. There vvnsnne man, however, conscious of power to control men under any circumstances, lie mounted the plntrorin, and at the sound Qf his trumpet-toned voice, the multitude gathered in dense masses around him. America on the highway tf ruin from the conscienceless measures of demagogues, was a fine theme for popular effect, and he mnnifested a tremendous power. The fatigues of Ihe barbecue were forgotten, and oil yielded themselves to the potent incantation. At one moment, the tears coursed down sun-burnt cheeks, And ere they had dried would be succeeded by convulsions of laughter. Then that " sea of upturned faces " would glow with wrath, as corruption, fraud, and dema-gogueisin were revealed to thein for their unqualified abhorrence. Then this passed away to he succeeded hy the clow id high-souled patriotism. The transi- isms were rap.u am. nun. as , enaoges m a spring .In.. tin. .n1t.4ii.ln ,r n .. . v , thnt tliii nrnlnr y . , ...... ......... K power was resistless. A cool Hcotchman told a friend, that when Mr. Cor-win commenced Ins speech, his own fatigue was so great, that he calmly took his seat on the opposite side of the street, at some distance from the platform, careless whether he hennl the speech or not. Rut," said he, "in a very little time I found myself standing in the middle of the street with the crowd, like a simpleton, iu perfect ecstaey gazing up nt the wonderful man WMh words were subduing us." This seems a favorable opportunity to speak of this ' gentleman, as affording one of the finest specimens of the native Western orator. In the remarks already j made, and those yet to lie made, let me disclaim all political bias, my only object being to speak of orators without regard to party. His enemies being judges, Thomas Corwin now in the United Htates Senate : is an eloquent man, able lo excite in his hearers just ! such feelings ns best ph ase him. A splendid coinpli-' ment was mid him not many years since, in the House j of Representatives. A mciulier from Michigan hail , made some slight remarks concerning Ohio, which called Mr. ('. to his feet. He gave the offender a se-! vere scourging, and the process was so annihilating, that Mr. Adams the next day alluded to the demolished member as M fAf LATE Mr. of Michigan!" A retentive memory, careful observation, calm investigation, perfect control of all his knowledge, unite to lay a broad foundation for the superstructure of eloquence. The English 1anu", i" " 'ts rapacities for wit, humor, ridieule, pathos, passion of every kind, and for lifting him, as on eagle pinions, to the third heaven of purest eloquence, is a slave to the man. His arrows reach the heart of every one. So broad are the principles upon which he bases hisapeals, and so cautious is he to arouse no adverse prejudice, that he compels the assent and sympathies of all. Certainly if any man on earth be able to make his hearers he-lieve fully, that they do see with their own eyes, "that horrid monster obscuring tlie sun," that man is Thomas Corwin, m Ohio. Perhaps nothing contributes more to Ihe effect of his well-choeen words, than hia face, which is altogether a " nmisvch.'' That swarthy face is a noble one, and Ihere is no passsion nor feeling in his heart, hut is proclaimed by his countenance before words can utter it. It is a magic mirror, rctifcting iiKin his auditors wrath, contempt, patriotism, pity, ridicule, sarcasm, so strikingly, that all feel themselves sympathizing wilh him in emotions not yet articulated. TIkw who were witnesses, will never forget the indescribable drollery of hts tones, gestures and physiognomy, in 1840, at Columbus, while answering the objections of some man of straw antagonist. Mr. C. had, the day previous, addressed a multitude of forty or fifty thousand, and was to address as great a number the succeeding day. The citizens of Franklin county waylaid him, and rompelled him, although greatly exhausted, to speak. His strain o, remark wa nncom-ntonly brilliant, seeming to transcend his usual efforts. He supposed an honl inquirer and opponent to I-proposing questions in reference to the cry that " times are killing hard." ' Why, my dear sir," says the opponent, " how can it he possible that so much trouble nnd hard times exist, and yet the men whom we have elected to office, end in whom we have unshaken confidence, never whisper a word of all this - Sir, you must be mistaken, or our office-holders would speak Mr. C's. countenance was the very impersonation of the ,l serio comico " gravity whilst stating this objection. Then began that droll working of his features, at the very sight of which, before he had said a word, hundreds found it iuiHssihle not to laugh outright. M Fellow-citizens' said he, in deliberate tones, M l ever allude to the Holy Scriptures with the deepest reverence, anil on occasions like the present hut seldom. But that venerable patriarch, Job, has so completely unravelled the difficulties of my honest opponent, thnt I must trespass to quote his words i ' Doth a iritd ass hray irfiifc fit huth grass or lotreth the sjsj orrr his fodder f Hy thi time his form was bent down towards his hearers, his inn -speaking eye was glancing from one countenance to another, and his whole face radieiit with illimitable queerness. Who could resist it? Sedate old men held their sides to roar ; the younger portion stamped and screamed with laughter, till tlu tears started. Peal of laughter succeeded peal so rapidly and iMnsterouslv, as to preclude the possibility of speaking for some minutes. Had some old Roman pantomime witnessed the swarthy face of "Tom, the Wagon Bnv," n Ml constituents sometimes affectionately term him effecting such prodigies, he would have died of sheer envy ! Hut Mr. CofWin is capable of far nobler things. He so speaks on some occasions, thnt the multitude forget to shout. Such an instance occtired during the late political campaign, whilst unmasking the annexation scheme, for the detestation of his hearers. Wit, ridicule, and satire were laid aside, as instruments unworthy the high issue here made, nnd like a giant lie grasped the momentous bearings of Ihe scheme on human happiness. A magnificent land was unrolled before us, upon which under the fostering care of Jehovah, had been accumulated all that is desirable in natural products, religion, and government. Then caine Ihe dark reverse of war, rapine, and fraternal bloodshed, with nil the pack of insatiate hell-hounds following civil war. Human freedom in chains, here received its direst stab, and the WON tf millions were perpetuated hopelessly, until Heaven's wrath should hcnih! in their release with fire, tempest, nnd carnage. No sound interrupted the orator. He was sweeping a chord too deep to elicit stormy applause, He had drawn them to the brink of a yawning gulf, bidding then to gaze down into its horrid depths and they shrank back in pallid silence. It was only when he hail closed Ibis splendid peroration, and had taken his seat thnt the multitude remembered what was due to thttl idol, and they rent the air with their long, vocii crated acclamations. Perhaps all the faults and excellencies o Western eloquence are more prominent m ims goniieiusn man any otner, ami ror tnis reason we nave uwen at some length upon his peculiarities. Aaphnlte Eelt fur Roofing. Thos. John ('roggon has a patent from the English Government for Asphalte Felt. He descrils-s it as principally made of hair, completely saturated with asphalte, without pitch, tnr or rosin, and consequently more durable, a good non-conductor of heat, entirely impervious to ruin, frost ami snow, and superior to all other descriptions of roofing on account of its lightness, elasticity, economy and durability, and because it may lie laid on by unpracticed persons. Its price I penny the superficial foot, or ii pence the square yard, and it may be manufactured of any required lenfl-tJi, in i iu s wide. Thus much for the English patent article. We clip the following from a Nashville paper. It descrils's a cement for roofing, germain to the above, and may he properly considered in connection with it. Cement Roofing for ITonc. Mount.

Then lake the cement, in a warm state, in a bucket, and, with a common whitewash brush, lay it on to the cloth, rubbing it thoroughly in. Let it then Is", for drying, about ("our days. Then make more cement in the same may, and lay it on, as Ispfore, and sift dry sand on the surface as much as will stick on. In a week put on a third coat tn the same way ; suid if it is well done, not a drop of water will get through for five years, and then it will require another coat. Yours, Ac, Louisville, Oct.

Wc have seen a specimen of tobacco grown by James Carpenter, Esq , of East Feliciana, and think our planters will be interested in a slight notice of it. Mr. C. has been making experiments for some years in raising tobacco from Havana seed, a subject to which we are glad to see that many others are turning their attention. This last w-aeon he procured some seed brought from Turkey, and planted a quarter of an acre with it.

Sir David Brewster acknowledges that the Eugliah cannot produce Achromatic Telescopes gf over 4 or 5 inches diameter, and in his treatise on Optics gives us tlie description of one made by Barlow, using sulphurate of car- uou instead oi nuu glass tor uie lens; tins telescope was 8 8-10th inches in diameter, and showed the di visions of Malum s rings, and also the belt bv which she ia surrounded. This American article will nut only perform all that Brewster claims for Barlow's, nut also ims young, scit-taught Optician hae made from our flint glnss his IcnscB, which was the point at wnien tne science and mechanics ot England stopped in despair. The importance of this discovery of Mr. Fill's will be lettcr realized when we review the amounts of money w hich have been expended hy the different literary institutions of our country for telescopes and apparatus within the few past years. Among them we see first our government despatched Lieut, (idles to EurojH' for the purchase of telescopes and instruments connected therewith, at an expense of $15,000) then conies Cnmbridge, $17,000; then the Astronomical Society of Cincinnati, near $10-000 ; the High School of Philadelphia, $2,000 b-mouuting in all to $1HU,IHH, which has been sent to Europe to purchase articles which can and will now be m ole at home, and the money, instead of going to eiiricn me eouers ot some foreign manufacturer, will be given to our enterprising, industrious and ingenious mechanics.

A Curie Br k a r t a st . A son of Erin at Schenectady heard the breakfast bell ring on hoard a canal boat just starting out for Buffalo. The fragrance of the viands induced him to go aboard. " Sure, Captain, dear," said he, " an' w hut II ye ax a poor man for travelling on yer illegaut swan or a boat?" "Only a cent nnd a half a mile and found," replied the Captain. h And is it the vittles ye mean to find, sure?" " Yes. And if you are going along, go down to breakfast." Pal didn't wait to he told a second time, but having descended into the cabin and made a hearty meal, ho came again on deck and requested that the boat might be stopped. "What do you want to atop for?" inquired the Captain. How far have we come, just r " asked Pat. " Only little over a mile." ' Pat thereupon handed the Captain two cents, and coolly aaM him that he believed he would not go any farther wilh him, as Judy would wait her breakfast, not knowing that he had breakfasted out. The joke was so good that the Captain took the cents, ordered the boat to l- stopped, helped Pat ashore, and told him that ahould he ever have neension ft travel that way again he should be most happy to carry him. ThrOyst Rumsem It would be an interesting statement, if it were possible to ascertain the annual draft on the Chesapeake bay and its tributaries, for the universally admired shell fish the oyster. Tho quantity taken must be immense. We stepped a day or two ago into the establishment of Messrs. Holt i Mallhy, on the City Block, and were astonished to ascertain the quantity used by them. They had twenty-five men employed in opening, and during the season they randy have a less number. They sometimes open five hundred gallons a day, which are all designed for exportation The oysters are put up in tin cans, in their own liquor, which are made air tight and hermetically waled; they are warranted to keep fresh in any climate. Five men are constantly employed in making the cans. The oysters are sent principally tn Ihe Western States, but considerable quantities are sent to the West Indies, South America, and somo have even been sent to China. We noticed a lot read v packed, which are to go by the first conveyance to South America. Messrs. H. oV M. have not yet had a return from those sent to China and they cannot yet tell how the Celestials will like the article. Their enterprise deserves encouragement, Halt. Sun. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph says i "The presence of the United States army on the Western frontier, hns caused the price of provisions to advance to an unprecedented extent in that section. At the last accounts corn was selling at Aransas and Corpus Christi at one dollar and fifty cents a bushel ; sweet jmtatoes at the same rate and very few could be obtained. The army is stationed at such a distance from our dense settlements, that most of its supplies of provisions will be brought from New Orleans, at a cheaper rate than they can be procured from any of the settlements of Western Texas. Beef, however, can always be procured in our Western counties at a cheaper rate than it can be obtained perhaps in any part of the United States. The commissaries of the army will have little difficulty in procuring an abundant supply of beef in any of our western settlements at a cent to a cent and half a pound ; and the beef from the Hio Orande can doubtless be obtained at a still lower rate." Discovr-avor mr Maosftif Por r.s. A scientific But I. Mian who was present at Dr. l-ocke's lecture, on onday evening, says it was remarkablT inten-sting. The subiect was Electro-Magnetism, Heat, and their kindred topics. Among other things he mentioned the discoveries he had made snd the facts accumulated, in regard to the Magnetic Poles, and the line of greatest intensity. This has been a subject of examination wilh him for several years. He considers now that the Magnetic Poles are discovered at least their immediate locality. His views on this subject have been confirmed by other observers. One is in Siberia, and another in the Northern part of America. The line of greatest intensity is near the shores of Lake Superior.
