BravtiecL Sestivent.—The beaatifal extract beluw is froin the pea of Ion. George 3.
Hilliard :
I coufess tliat increasing years bring with
them an inereasiug respect fur men who do
not succeed in life as those words are common:
ly used. Heavert ia said to be a plhice for
those who Itave not succeeded upon earth ; aud
it is surely true celestial graces do not~ best
thrive and blooni in the hot blaze of worldly
prosp rity. Ill suceess sonm-times arises from
a@ superabandance of quaulitics in themselves
good —froin a conscietice tua sensitive, n taste
too fustidious, a self-torgetfulness too romuntic,
a inodesty too retiring. FE will not go so fur as
to say, with n living poet, that “the world
knows wothing of its yreatest men,” bit there
are fururs of greutiess, or at lenst excellence,
which “die und take no sigu 3" there are
martyrs that iiss the palin hat uot the stake ;
heroes withoat the laurels, und conqaerors without the triumph.
A Great Curtostry.—A graid laudseape in
mosaic has been inade bya clerk in the French
Wur Office. It is coniposed entirely of insects
—of beetles alone there are tuvre thon 44,000,
of nearly 4,000 different species, and tools four

Pans extract niore goid and silver Irom their ores than any

men will find it to their advantage to employ these pans as
Separators, In addition to he ordinary Amalgatuors now in
use, and to re-work their old tailings.
The cost of these pang Is lnconsiderable, and their strueture ls sneh that they can be readily separated In parts conyenient for pee on imules, Among the many advantaie possessed by BAUX & GUIOD'S Pan, are the tollowlig:
‘he trilling cost for attendance; Its small cost; Its portabilIty; The large quantity of pulp HEean operate upon ina giyeit time; Il may be worked even weeks withont stopping,

PATENT AMALGAMATOR.
These Machines Stand Unrivaled.
For rapldly pulverizing and hmaigamating ores, they
have nocqual. Noesourt has been, or will be, spared to
Lave them constracted In the most perfect manner, and of
the great number now In operation, not one has ever reuired repairs. The constant aud inercasing demand for
thein js suticient evidence of their merits,
They are constructed so asto apply steam directly Into
the pulp, or with steam bottoms, as desired.
This Amalgamator Operates as Fallows:
The pan being fled, the motion of the muller forces the
pulp to the center, where Itls drawn down through the ate
erture and between the grinding surlaces. Thence it Ig
. thrown to the periphery Into the quicksilver, Tbe curved
Plaies again draw itto the ceuler, whercit passes down,
and tothe circumfereuce as belore, Thns itis conslantly
passing In a regular flow between the grinding surfaces and
nito the quicksilver, until the ore 1s reduced to an impalpable powder, und the netal amalgamated.
Sctlers made on the same principic excel ail others.—
They bring the pulp so constandy nnd perfectiy In contact
with qnicksllyer, that the particles xre rapidly and completely absorbed.
Mill men are invited to examine these pans and setlers for
