PKíft'H'ÍKíií:
Tho urt of printing from blocks has been
known in China since tho middle of tho
tenth century, mid that mode of printing; is
still practiced there. Even in Europe, al-
though writing, unlike that of the Chinese,
is nlphnlictic, printing from ldocks was tho
method first practicad. Some have even
supposed that the knowledge of tho art was
originally obtained from China; but, as far
as wo can truco, it was nut till fully a cen-
tury niter Marco Polo returned from that
country that even this simple kind of print-
ing began to ho practiced in Europe. It
appears to have been first applied to the
fabrication of playing cards and manuals of
popular devotion. TI10 tero, of theso block
prints and books, as they are called, may

century j one in Lord Spencer's collection

of Latin rhyme under each. With regard,
however, to this last block-book thero has

In rtány pluces of the U. States,
rariginjiftom Now Vorfc fo Maine, in laii-'
tilde 45", tho mehn temperature is CO be-
low ¡«ero. Unst is only one degree colder
than Constantinople in January; anil no
country in Europe, nor tho world perhaps,
enjoys tho mildness of climate peculiar to
Great Britain nnd Ireland. This must have
a wonderful effect upon the health nnd or-
ganization of the people. Tho causo is, as
wo havo stated, generally attributed to tho
torrents of the Gulf Stréam; ono philoso-
pher, however, attributes tho gonial warmth
to moist bronzes from Africa, which come
ovor the Atlantic, crossing tho equator. In
Russia, Moscow is on tho samo lino with
Edinburgh, yet its'moan temperature in
winter is at ¡east 13° lower. Tho climate
of England Is moist nnd wet. To foreign-
ers, accustomed toclcnr skies, it is disagree-
able. Tho ntmosphcro is cloudy in sum-
mer; this is ano reason why it is not so
wanrn ns in other countries in tho same
northern latitude. Were it not for the
waj-m ocean currents nnd the warm breez-
es, tho coasts of Engtnnd would bo ice-
bound, nnd many of tho plants which now
flourish thero ns evergreens would bo un-
known.
On tho northern const of our Continent,
in northern Oregon—tho climate is much
warmer in winter than in places on the
same lines of latitude iu otir Eastern Slates.
It is believed thnt currents from the orient
flow over the Pacific nnd wa|h the Oregon
shores, ns the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic
does tho British Isles. During the past
winter the thermometer ranged nt 17 deg.
nhovo zero, mid the prairies wore green all
tho time, except when covered by occasion-
al snow storms. TI10 farmer is not com-
pelled, as in the Eastern States, to depend
for tho winter sustennnco of his cattle on

Four names havo principally figured in
the controversy that iias been raised about
llio invention of printing: John Gutenberg
—paternally (jlencflieseli—of Strasdiurg;
John Fust—or Faust—of Mainz; Peter
SchoefFer—in Latin.< ipilio—ol'Grensheim,
nnd Lawren to Coster—or J.inszoon—of
Haarlem. The probability is, that Cosier
was ono f,f tho early block-printers, whoso
art. there is every reason to believe, was
first practiced in Holland. Tho uso of sop-
nato letters, or types, nt first of wood nnd
nfterwnids of metal, end the various meth-
ods of casting them, are all to bo attributed
to Gtitonburg, Fnust, and ShoofTer. Gul-
oiiburg, it is now generally supposed first
began to print at Slrasburg with moveable
types uf wood sotno linio between 1430
and 1 H'i. Having then established him-
self iu Mainz, which was his native town,
ho there, iu 1 11">, entered into partnership
with Faust, who seems to have nssistcd Gut-
onbtirg in devising or carrying into effect
his subsequent groat improvement of the
' a t, bv casting tho types of metal. But to
1 Sclioelf'cr, who was in the scrvicc of Gut-
1 enberg and Faust, and had married Faust's
' daughter, is assigned tho credit of having
facilitated nnd—as far ns tho principle was
1 concerned—brought to perfection the pro-
cess of founding by the contrivance of the

pints, of Nassau, in 1102, Printing was
first practised in Italy, in the town of Su-
hinco, in the Roman territory, in 1406; in
France, nt Paris, in 1409; in England, nt
Westminster, ¡11 1171; and in Spain, at

This manufacture is generally carried
on in private houses, wjiere^ lur^c number
of persons—mostly females—wofi togeth-
er, each tuking certaifi departments accord-
ing to the principle of the division of labor;
and the whole product is the¿. Sold to whole-
sale. dealers, who supply tho retail shops.
()ur French neighbors ;tro especially dis
linguished iu this art; nil thoir delicacy of
tasto is brought to benr upon it. M. Du-
piti, in his recent letter to the French man-
ufacturers, says: "Let ua not forget n
branch of trade which, assiduously sludicd,
rivals nature itself; tills is thS production
of artificial flowers in every possible varie-
ty. Of these, France sells to the extent of
¡1 million francs (£40,000) tn the-'foroigner;
nnd England, witti tho United States,,-.pur-
chases more than half this dmouni<;k..'
We will take n rose, as a specimen of
French imitative manufacture. The petals,
the leaves, the calyx, the buds, the stamens,
the stalk—all require, distinct processes.—
First, for tho petals. These are made of
the finest cambric, which is cut' out with
puncho thero being ns many different siz-
es in the petals of tlie rose. Each petal is
held by pincers nt the extreme end, dipped
into n carmine dye,'then dippod into water
to soften tho tint nt thb edges, then touch-
ed with ft brush ¿0 deepen the tint near the
centre; and nny little variegated ipots, or
even blemishes, nro imitated' by tinging
with a brush. Next, lor the leaves. These
are made of Florence sarcenet, which is
dyed to the proper coljjr^ strewed while
wet that it may dry out'perfectly sr«9pth;
tho glazed surfaco of the leaf is imitat^bv
coating tho sarcenet with thin gum-water;
while the velvety texture of the undopWir
face is imitated citiier by n'Vhsh of colore
starch-water, or by n layer.of flock of cloth
powder, such ns is used in making fluck pa-
per-hangings. To imitate tho ribs, wfittffi

teristic of the leaves, several leaves, placed

Eakly Habits.—No 0110 has lived long
in tho world, or observed much of its ways,
without a full conviction of the power of
early habits. Thero is nothing whichahe
Prince of dnrlfness finds more difficult, in
his attempts to draw tho minds of tho chil-
dren of men away from God than to ovor
come ¡111 early habit of obedience to God's
law. if ho finds a man whose childhood
and youth wero passed away in ignorance
nnd idleness, In whose memory wore never
stored the simple truths of our holy religion;
whose feet were nevor led to tho placo ol
public worship, nnd who never heard n fath-
er's or a mother's voico invoking God's
blessing at the family altar, ho seldom fulls
to gain a quick victory. Such an one w
be ready to yield to any delusion, nnd to
embrace nny form of error or superstition
But when he meets with a man or wo-
man, boy or girl, whoso infant voico hns
been taught to prayer and praise; whose
mind from its earliest dawn lias been im-
bued with the doctrines of the gospel; whoso
soul has been nourished with tho sincere
milk of the word, anil who has been gently
led by parental love to tho courts of tho
Lord, he finds it no easy matter to overcome
him. These hourly habits linvo become
part of his nature. To change them is like
llio Ethiopian changing his skin or tho leop-
ard his spots. Thoy constilulo a rampart
nround the soul, nnd make the arch-deceiv-
er slow arid difficult. He may conquer
such an one indeed, and without tho grace
of God in the soul ho surely will; but these
early habits help to keep him at bay, and
give opportunity to seek strength and cour
ago for tho conflict.
o.heg'W young friends to cuilivnto
IttfiUs, nnd to storo their minds
ith the wholesome truths and doctrines of
the Bible—such truths nnd doctrines ns the
Holy Spirit uses to sanctify nnd stive the
soul. They may hope by this means to for-
tify themselves ngainsl the assaults of the
ndversary, and to "come off more than con-
quoror through him that loved tlicni nnd

An Afflicted Family.—The family or the
late Professor Kingsley, of West Point,
havo beon sadly nnd painfully bereaved.
Iu tho yonr 1834 or 1*35, four lovely chil-
dren died in ono week of scarlet fever; sub-
sequently, yet .another died after protrac-
ted sickness; then Professor Kingsley in
1840 wns thrown from his horse, receiving
injuries from which he died; the remaining

Washington.—Among the modern be-
liofa engrafted upon the uucient faith of tho
Iroq'iois, thero is.ono Which is Wort lug of
particular notice. It .relates lo Wasmng-
ton. According to their present belief no
white man ever reached tho Indiun Heav-
en. Nut having becu crented by tho Great
Spirit, no provision has been made for
him in their scheme of theology, lío was
excluded botli from Heaven and tho place
of punishment. But an exception Was
made in favor of Washington; because of
his justice and benevolence to the Indian,
he stood pre-eminent abovo nil other white
men. When, by tho penco of 1783, the
Indians wero abandoned by Uicif English
allies.and left to multe their ownt^rms with
tho American Government, rii'n' Iroquois
were jnore exposed to severe inenliures
than the other tribes in their nI|ijjt)O0. At
this critical moment Wásliingtolt^ntej'fi^red

rights, nnd the ndvpente of n policy town1
thoiu-of tho most enlightened justice and
humanity. After his dentil ho was mourn-
ed by the Iroquois ns a benefactor of their
face, and his memory was clierished with
reverence nnd nflcctiou. A lmlief was
spread abroad among 1I10111 that tho Great
Spirit Iititl received iiini into a celestial res-
idence upon the plains of llenveu, tho only
white man whoso noble dueds had entitled
him to this heavenly favor. Just by tho
entrance to llenveu is n walled enclosure,
tho ample grounds within which uro luid
out with nvonuts and shaded walks. With-
in is a spacious inmisión,constructed in tho
fashion of a fort. Every object in nature
which could ploaso n cultivated taste lind
been gathered in this blooming Eden to
render it a delightful dwelling place for the
immortal Washington. The fnithful Indi-
an, as lie outers Heaven, passes this enclo-
sure. Ho sons nnd recognizes tho illustri-
ous inmate ns ho walks to nnd fro in quiet
menitntlon. But no word ever passes his
lips. Dressed in his uniform, nnd in n stnte
of perfect feliiiitv, ho is destined to remain
through eternity in the solitary onjoyrncnt
of the celestial residence prepared for him
by the Grent Spirit.—Morgan"* League of

AERIAL VOYAGE.
M. Putin, tho aeronaut, publishes in the
Bridgeport Standurd tho following narra-
tive of his recent balloon nscontion nt that
place, nnd his landing on Long Island, from
which wo make the following extract:
"1 throw out more bnllnst, and wo ascen-
ded nearly ns far ns it is possible for hu-
mane beings to exist: we liad readied the
height of 22,000 feet. The earth appeared
n chaos—thermometer nine degrees below
zero. Tho cold wns intense; 11 linnvy hail
storm, hold in the nir by a power unknown
to us but probably an electric power, envoi
oped us in a thrilling nnd nwf'iil manner.
Respiration wns utmost impossible, nnd wo
could not hear moll other speak. O110 of
my companions, being benumbed, fell into
a profound sleep. We felt so wonk thnt my
other companions and myself were hnrdly
able to open tho valve. At last wo succee-
ded in opening it, nnd wedocended rapidly
to mi altitude of 13,000 feet. The imag-
ination of one exnlted to such nn extremo
height grows vivid nnd warm, ns tho body
becomes dull nnd chilled. For us no reali-
ty, no limits, wero existing. Tho dronms
of Bernardino de-St. Pierre were renlized;
universal pence seemed to bo on cnrtli, nmi
tho whole globo were united states. But
a strong condensation of tho gas brought
ns buck to the reality of terrestrial objects,
and wo descended to tho ground."

to have beon, when in tho flesh, rather*
troublesome customer, had been in alten*
tlnnce nonrly tho whole of thp day( givihi
all kinds of answers, and disturbing tho
regular order of business so much; that he
\fas voted a boro by the audience. He wns
requested to leave several times, and in
ovory instance agreed so to do, but when
tho rnppings would commence aguin, nnd
the compnuy bo expecting to get a commu-
nication from some sednte spirit, it invarin-
bly turned out Hint hp was here himself.
O110 of the company then asked him if
ho had nny thing of especial importance
that lie wished lo communicate to any oi\e
present 7
Answer—"Yes."
"Will you communicnto it now?"
"Yes."
"Go abend then."
Tho spirit spoiled out tho following i
"You are 11 set of d—d fools."
Tho deceased, whose spirit purported to
be communicating, when nn inhabitant of
this sphere, would some times when exclt'
od use such language, nnd may not have
broken himself of his vicious habits.
Wo ore not informed whether tho revela-
tion was regarded by the.company as true*
or not.
