Daniel Iin was a tall specimen of hu-J mainly, as Ins name implies, hailing Irorn Kentucky; iic sUiod about six feet efght in his blockings, and was wanting in flesh, although he niude up for it in stature, fie had great staring eyes, of that pecujiar color w inch generally appertakiH to the feluin tribe , a nose commonly called "a pu::," a huire mouth, which, as the faaa- .. ti v e i. . i i "A lioiib ur. aietuinc oouerves, wouia go round his head, if it was not for his cars : these ornauieiital appendages were conceal ed by a dense shock of hair, of the reddest hue imaginable. He was very decently clad, and one eve ning, while on his visit to one of our Eas tern cities, he sauntered along the princi pal sireets of .His attention was soon arrested by the display of some miniatures in a willow ; attached was a card, mfornv ing I lie passers-by that the artist was to be found at certain hours, accompanied with a polite invitation to the public in general to walk up to his studio and examine the "collection" on hand, to which there was 'free admission."- Our hero accepted the invitation forth with, and made bis wayup stairs, and o- pening a door, fonnd himselfin the presence of the painter ; he made an awkward bow, which was responded to by a courteous sa lutation from the other. "I say, mister," thus Dan opened the con versation, " did you paint all them picters in the winder down lhar?" " Yes, sir," replied Mr Easel. "Wall," he continued, " they're darned nice looking, and you air an almighty smart chap. 1 swow How long docs it take a teller to do'em up slick, eh V 4 It depends upon the style and the size." "Now look here, stranger, tber's a gal what loves me, an I love her, and we both on us love t'other ; I'm a goinir to marry her, 1 am ; whal'll you have for pamtin, her picter " ' If you wish a low priced article, I can accommodate you at twenty-five dollars; but should you desire a more finished one, in my best style, I increase my price to fifly 'Oh, darn your fifty," the Kentuckian interupted ; "I say mister, you may begin it right v-ay." "Veryfsvell, sir ; when will the lady be ready for her first sitting ?" inquired Mr. Easel. "Her what?" ejaculated Dan. "Her first sitting," rejoined the artist ; 'when shall I first have the honor of seeing her?" 'Seeing her !" our hero repeated, M see ing her I Why stranger, she's way out W est she wont be here at all." And how am I to make a likeness, nev er having seen her, or known anything of her?" tisked the bewildered painter. "Didn't you tell me, stranger, that you painted them picters down thar, and if you painted them, you kin pninl her; she's an all tired puny gel as ever I see, oryou see, or anybody else see ; just paint her as pret ty as you kin do." "Hut my dear s:r, are you not aware that there are different styles or beauty T Here are two pictures,'' continued Mr Ea sel, " of different persons, though both are considered beauties : the one a blonde the other a brunetre : you perceive there is a re- n.arkably distinction beiween them." Daniel staged at them, and, after a mo ment, exclaimed j "Wall, I'll just look round your shop, nn' see if I can't scare up somethirr that's like her. anyhow " j , And in accordance with the original idea, j nrrvcnrw 1 ' he ran his eye over every one of the pain- PRINTERS PROVERBS, tings with which the studio was adorned, ts'ever inquire thou of the editor for the but without seeing anything which could news, for behold il a bis dutY At the ap compare with his Dulcinea.

THE COTTON GLV The following extract ifforn' De T3ow' commercial Review, wflKwf rc&d with a great deal of interest Tl)e jecurriSry ad vantage of Jhi invention to the United1 States is by no means fully presented by an exposition of the value of the exports o( e'o'Aon (aiAOUnting to more tnan 'l,f0J. 000.000 in the last fortv-three veanJnor V the immense proponion of the rneans which? it has furnished this tonntry to meet the' eno inous debts continually incurred for imports from Britain awl,, the European continent cotton having totjnany year -constituted one-half, three-fiAbs, or seven" tentns of the value of the exports of the Union But it was the introduction of the cotton-gin which first gave a high value and permanent market to the public lands irr the South-west. The rspid settlement ancf improvement oAlmoet the eirtire Stats o Alabama, Mississippi, JLouisiana, Florida, aid Texas, in maiofy due to the large prod" uctkm of eottoa, coxaaewnA apoa the inven tion of WbHfleyr The4 States of Georgia and TetmexAM have also, been largely benefitted by the samedcan, in thenrfrspev; sal of their domain, a vast portion of which must' have remained unoecupied and valueless but for the immense .increase of facilities foe the preparation of cotton for the market. In the three States ot Alabama Mississippi and Louisiana, the sales of the public lands of the general goverrrrent amounted to 18,099,505 ace, during the eleven years ending on the 30ih of une 1844 yielding to the National Treasury more than W0,000,000. - The sales of up land cotton lands by the United States land officers, have amounted to many tens of millions of acres; and none have been sold at a lower rate than s)l 25 an acre a large proportion at a higher rate. It is to be remarked, finally, thai the cot ion gins now in use througcfotit' the whole South are truly the original- invention of Whitney that no improvement or success ful variation of the essential parts has yet been effected. The actual characteristics of the machine (the cylinder and brush.) the sole real instruments by which the seed is Temdved and the cotton cleared retrain in cotton gins of evei the most reeent manufacture, precisely il Whitney-left them. The principle has not been Altered since the first cotton-gin was put in morion by the inventor, though grtai improvements have been made in :he applitatrori and direc inn of the moving forces in the employment of steam power, in the running-gear and oiher incidentals, every one of the various cotton gins in use under the names'of differ ent makers, contain the essentials of Whit ney's patent without material change or -addition. The brush and the cylinder, like Pulton's paddle-wheel, remain unchan ged in form and necessity, however vast the improvements in the machinery that causes the motion. We must tell our coutrymen, that but for our inventors there would be a great deal of dry whistling among our cotton lords and cotton manufacturing baronets. Yet how have pur., inventorj been treated as a general thing.. Why most all the inven tions that have proved to be of real benefit and which have yielded the greatest pro fits, are just the very inventions for which the inventors were poorest remunerated.
