.THE WORLD WE HAVE NOT SEEN. 



TJiere is a world we have not seen, 

 That timo shall never dare destroy ; 



Where mortal footsteps have not been, 

 Nor ear halh caught its sound of joy. 



There is a region, lovelier far, 



Than sages tell or poets sing, 

 Brijfhter than summer's beauties are, 



And softer than the tinis of spring. 



There is a world, and O how blest ! 



I'airer than prophets ever told ; 

 And never did an angel guest 



One halfits blessedness unfold. 



It is all holy and serene, 



The land of glory and repose. 

 And to dim the radiant scene, 



The tear of sorrow never flows. 



It Is not fann'd by s-ammer gale, 



' r is not refreshed by vernal showers ; 



It never needs the moonbeam pale. 

 For there are known no evening hours. 



No : for this world is ever bright. 



With a radiance all its own ; 

 The streams of uncreated light 



Flow round it from the eternal throne. 



There forms that mortals may not see, 

 Too glorious for the eye to trace, 



And clad in peerless majesty. 

 Move with unutterable grace. 



In vain the philosophic eye 



May seek to view the fair abode. 



Or find it in the curtain'd sky : — 

 It is the dwelling place of God ! 



MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND. 



The Supreme Court of the United States are 

 now erigap;e(l upon the case of the Slate of Rlwile 

 Island vs. the Slate of Massachusetts. 'S'he facts 

 of thill case are hriefly these. I5y th> Charter of 

 Massachusetts Bay the Southern Hoi;ii<1ary of that 

 Colony was fixed at a line running East and Wf.xt 

 through the head of Charles River. A century 

 wo or upward, Coniinissionera were appointed to 

 run the line and they fixed upon the head of 

 Charles river, and run the line accordingly. — 

 Rhode Island complained at the ti(ne, that the 

 Coinrnissioners did not fix u[K)n the true head of 

 the river, but that another head further north, was 

 the true head ; and she now seeks to set asjde the 

 old boundary, and to establish a new one, wliich 

 would Hive her a little strip of territory with about 

 five thousand inhabitants on iu 



of a penny sterling a pound, or two cents, wouUl 

 produce fourteen millions of dollars. A sum siiffi. 

 cient to relieve ns in :i great degree, if not entirely 

 of our indebtedness to Europe. — Bait. Jlmericun. 



I.NSPf.crioN OF Leatheh. — By the annual re- 

 turn of the nundjer o( siiles, quality, and weight 

 of Sole Leather, inspected in lli's Conuuouweallh, 

 from Jan. 1, 1837, to Jan. 1, 1838, we learn I hat 

 the weight of all inspected, was 1,989,754 pounds. 

 The largest amount, after S. Howe, the inspector 

 General at Boston, is retm-ned by Joseph Dallon, 

 of Salem, who has 235,225 pounds good, 38,051 

 damaged, 1815 bad ; do. n amifactured out of the 

 State, 9122 lbs. good, 3296 lbs. damaged. J. Pea- 

 hody'aud Nathan Poor, Danvers, return of leather 

 manufactured iu the State, 184,082 lbs. good, and 

 50,495 lbs. damaged. 



Oils a.>-d Lotions. Macassar Oil is merely 



oil of almonds colored red v\ith alkanet loot; 

 Russia oil, the same thing rendered milky, by a 

 small (luantity of ammonia of potash scented with 

 oil of roses. The nostrums for eruptive diseases 

 called Gowland's Lotion, Milk of roses, Caledonian 

 creaii, Kalydore, &c. consist merely of a solution 

 of the 'o.xy muriate of mercury in almond enuilsion, 

 witb a proportion of sugar of lead or white oxide 

 of bismuth. They are thus possessed of certain 

 stimulant and repellent i)roperties ; and though 

 blunted, in part, by the medium in which they are 

 involved cannot fail to he highly active on the skin 

 and consequently injurious. — Stevenson &,' Church- 

 ills Medical Botany, A"o. XI. 



A SciE^iTiFic JoKK. — The Society of Arts in 

 London have been handsomely lioaxed. A car- 

 ria"e with but one wheel, and to he used without 

 horses, v/as advertised to be exhibited at a certain 

 place, and the mend)ers of the Society, and the 

 Public iu general, were invited to come ami ex- 

 amine it. Tlie ardor of their expectation was 

 somewhat dampened when they were shown a 

 wheelbarrow. — M O. Picayune.

Joseph Bieck & Co., at the New England Agricuitu ( 

 Warehouse and Seed Store, Nos. 51 & o2 North Market Sti ( 

 have for sale, Greene's Patent Straw, Hay and .Stalk Cut I 

 operating on a mechanical principle, not before appliet I 

 any iniplenienl for this purpose. The most prominent cIVi i 

 of this application, and some of the consequent peculiari 

 of the machine arc: 



1. So great a reduction of the quantum of power requi 

 to use it, that the strength of a half grown boy i.^ suffic 

 to work it very efficiently. 



2. With even this moderate power, it easily cuts two b\ 

 els a minute, which Is full twice as fasi as has been clan 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or «i< 

 power. 



ConeHS AND Golds. Horse-radish cut into 



sinall pieces and chewed in the mouth is an ex- 

 cellent remedy for hoarseness, coughs, colds, and 

 cases of incipient conBiimplion. 



Some one asked a lad how it was he was so 

 short for his age? He replied, ' father always 

 kee])S me so busy, I han't time to grow.' 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which I 

 cut, require sharpening lcs» often than those of any o 

 straw culler. . ■ , i 



4. The machine is simple in its construction, made ami 

 tcetlier very strongly It is therefore not so liable as 

 complicated machines in general use, to get out of order.

TuE Cotton Crop. — The recent advance of 

 one penny a pound on the price of cotton in Eng- 

 land, it maintained, will prove of the utmost im- 

 pdrtance to the commercial operations of this 

 country. The force of this remark will be better 

 understood after reference is had to a simple cal- 

 culation made on the .subject by the Philadelphia 

 United States Gazette. Esliinatiiig the crop of 

 1837 at 1,800,000 hales, and allowing 400 pounds 

 to a bale, the result is an aggregate of 720 mil- 

 lions of pounds of cotton — on which the advance
