never know ourselves SO well as then. We never
see in so clear light the vanity of mortal pursuits.
These feelings, when the event which occasioned
them is recent in the mind, draw it off from every
other thought and contract all its sensiblty to one
centre point of affection, which wounds the heart
to torture by its intensity. But when familiarity
with the scene, when an interval has softened and
blended these keen pangs into serene and tender
melancholy, we can observe hhe advantages which
such shocks work on the heart. Though they may
seem like the lightning, which, to purify the air.
scathes and rends, or the earthquake which makes
the world tremble, and leaves behind it dreadful
mementos of its desolation Yet these events, like
these commissions of the elements, which make the
earth safe habtation, while they remind us SO
powerfully OF our meanness and our end, make US
humble, recalling to our minds the virtues of cur
friends, lncte us to initiate them in the duties of
benevolence and philanthropy; and remove also
the selfish considerations of human life dwelling
in the heart like angel of mercy, making every
emotion pure and every recollection sacred.
All may look on the Grave as a place
where they have general right, and
where all will be gathered to the arms Of
death. Here is acted the last scene, and
here is perfected the great catastrophe Of
Nature. Who views it with adherence
Il is quiet and lasting resting place from
all disturbance and sorrow. The old and
the weary may sleep here peacefully
Those who have contended with life Of
misfortune, and drunk the bit,erest cup Of
its vexation, may come here and say that
their cares are ended.
To this place can the saint look with
peculiar desire. He is tired Of his suffer
ings, he is anxious for the reward which
has been promised him. He cannot look
on the grave and shudder at its solemnity
and solitude, but considers it as the en-
trance which, after his sorrowful piIgri-
mage on the journey of life, will admit
him, lonely and wretched as he is, to his
mothers bosom, in a peaceful home
For him its darkness is illumined by the
bright glory Of heavenly hope, and that
light guides him to the world above.
This is the place to feel, while we are
forcibly convinced of our depravity and
degradation, we Incline to favor and for
give the faults Of those around US; and
knowing that our remains must soon min
gle with the dust Of the meanest beggar,
we are willing, even before we meet there,
to call him brother.
1t is the place to learn wisdom. The
perfection Of human knowledge is the
knowledge Of self. When we draw away
from the world, and hold communion
with ourselves in place lonely and sa-

LAW CASE.

Circuit COuyt Of the United States, for Mas
sGehusefis District, October Term, 1926.
Willard Earle Us. Elisha Sawyer.
This action, involving the plantiff's right to
patented Machine of extensive and growing
utility and great value, was tried before Mr..
Justice Story.
The Patent was for an improvement in
machinery, called, s The improped Single
JMiH," and was granted in December, 1922.
On the trial it appeared, that in 1873, the
plaintiff had obtained patent for Single
Mill having an upright, OF reciprocatiug saw,
with carriage and self-guaging head-btOe5,
all moved by the same wheel. The present
patent was for an improvement ia that MAJ
chine. The improvement consisted in the
combination Of the Circular Plate Sag, with
the same or similar machinery, altered and
adjusted so as to produce the new movements
which the change required and the expert
ence of the patentee suggested. The i'm
proved machine was exhibited in Court, and
it excited much admiration. Many witness
ses and men Of mechanical genius were exam
ined on both sides and recent English publ
cations, containing descriptions and drawings
Of machines, used in connection with the Cir
cular Saw, in Great Britain, at the present
time, were read on the trial and it appeared
that the plaintiffs improvement was. as an
ingenious aud labor-saying invention, in adj
vance Of all machines, for like purpose, any
where before known and used.
1t was proved that the defendant, a neigh
boz Of the patentee, had procured workman
to copy the plaintiffs machine, with some va
riations in form, and had openly set it up, and
used it, as machine different from the plain
tifr's-The questions made in the defence,
were, principally, two: first, whether the
adaptation of the Circular Saw to the plain
tiff's machinery was such an invention as
could be patented; and, secondly, whether
the invention was new in principle. The Ju-
ry, under the direction of the Judge, given in
an able and eloquent charge, found verdict
for the plaintiff on all points. Legal damages
900 dollars.

On Saturday last, we reluctantly babe
farewell to Cambridge, and took our

on this side Of Cambridge, the road leads
through the little village of St. Ives,
celebrated in legends Of the nursery,

time the residence of Oliver Cromwell,

occasionally preached and exhorted.

CAMBRIDGE, Goth AUG. 1895.
At 4 O'Clock we went to dine at the
Hall of Trinity College, under the
guidance of the two gentlemen from
whom we received so many ciyilities.
The apartment appropriated to this pur-
pose is sufficiently spacious to accommo-
date five hundred persons. The deco
ralions of the hall, consisting of the
likenesses of great men, executed by
the first artists, the easy flow of CONVEX
sation, the affability, and politeness of
the party, render the stranger careless
of his fare, aud attract his attention TO
other objects. There is full length
portrait of Newton directly over the ia
BILE, where we sat. A French scholar
of some eminence was once dining iu
the hall, and was seated so as to face
the picture. After gazing steadfasty
for some time, and catching the glow OF
inspiration, he rose suddenly, and pro-
nounced an eloquenk panegyric upon
the talents of the mathematician and
philosopher.
After the cloth was removed, we
were invited int the Combination Room,
so called from the associates who there
assemble. The festive board was COW
cred with the fruits of the season, and
crowned with generous wine. 1t was
emphatically 6 feast Of reason. and a
flow of soul.n
The Professor of Geology presided
at this literary feast, aud gave as SEN
iiment prosperity to the United States,
and uninterrupted friendship between
kindred nations," which the company
drank with much apparent pleasure.
Many inquiries were made respecting
the institutions, the state of learning, and
the eminent men of our country and
none but the kindest and most liberal
feelings were expressed towards its ris-
ing greatness. 1t was extremely graft.
ISying to US, TO witness such liberality
among the scholars of England, who ex-
ercise an important influence over the
community, and can do much towards
correcting erroneous impressions re-
speeding the United States, imbibed
from the misrepresentation Of tourists
and their reviewers.
After dinner we visited the Chapel OF
Trinity College, chiefly for the purpose
of examining the admirable full length
statue of Sir Isaac Newton, which is
Justly accounted master piece both IN
design and execution. 1t is of white
marble, elevated upon pedestal, stand
ing in a conspicuous place on the floor
OF the chapel; and the whole figure is
bold, commanding, and impressive. The
sage is taken ia the attitude of ana
Tying the rays Of light by means of the
prism. He has just made an expert
ment with his glass, and his eyes are
lifted from il to ponder upon the result,
The expression of the face, marked
with intense thought and deep medita-
ton, is iniuitably fine.
This morning before breakfast, we
went 10 the garden Of Christ College,
consecrated by some memorials Of the
poet Milton. 1t is sequestered, quiet,
and lovely spot, which could not but
think was the original, whence he drew
the picture Of his own Eden in Paradise

MISCELLANY.
From the Grafton Journal


In August l777, when the early in
habitants Of the town of Plymouth( n.
H were engaged in haying, news came
that an attempt was about to be made
to capture body OF Hessians, that had
strayed into Vermont from Burgoyne's
army. 1t reached the rugged yeomen
in the afternoon. They did not delay
a day or two for preparation, or hold
any councils to determine what course
to take. They left their hay in the
cock, and their scythes Gin the half-cut
swath"-took their old muskets from
the hooks, where they hung charged
with greeting for the wolfor the moose,
and took their course westward, from
which point they heard the sum-
mons and seemed to scent "the battle
afar off," Lieut.. Brown, who was as
resolute and brave a man as ever step
ned after drum and fife, lived then on
what is called the lower Interval In
Plymouth. He had been soldier in
the old French war and was ranger
under Major Rogers. He was an eX-
pert and enterprising hunter in these
then wilds. He kept two guns. AS
soon as he heard the news, that men
were wanted to go and f, hit the Hes
slams, he seized his two guns with the
determination forthwith to march and
pay his respects uih both Of item to
our polite German guests, who had
come over like Fayette to visit us, but
with little different intentions. Find

ANECDOTE.

Bishop Thomas who was man Of
humour and drollery, being once on
visitation, he was giving an account of
his being married three or four times:
"says he, cheerfully, should my pre-
SAINT VIII. die l will take another! and
it is my opiuion, added he, shall sur
vive her. Perhaps you don't know the
art Of getting quit Of your wives. I'll
tell you how l do. / am called a good
husband; so am, for never contra
die, them. But don't you know, the
want of contradiction is fatal to wo-
men. If you contradict them, that
circumstance alone is exercise and

But give them their one way, and they

that the ladies will not be displeased
at my informing them, that Venus will

and summer months Of 1925; which
circumstance is calculated to occasion
no small number Of marriages; and even
some ladies who were not reckoned on
