THE STEAM ENGINE. The rudest inhab-
itants of our forests-the man whose mind is
least of all imbued with relish for the
picturesque, who would gaze with vacant
stare at the finest painting-listen with
apathy to sofest melody, and turn with in
difference from mere display of ingenious
mechanism, is struck with the sublime
power and self moving majesty of a
steam vessel: he fingers on the shore
where it passes; and follows its rapid, and
almost magic course with silent admiration.
The steam engine in five years, has ena-
bled US to anticipate state of things, which,
in the ordinary course of events, it would
have required century to have produced.
The art of printing scarcely surpasses it in
its beneficial consequences. In the old
world, the places of the greatest interest to
the philosophic traveller, are ruins and
monuments, that speak splendor, and de-
parted glory. Far different is the case in
the western regions of America. The
stranger views here, with wonder, the
rapidly with which cities spring up in
forests, and with which barbarism retreats
before the approach o. art and civilization
The reflection possessing the most intense
interest is, not what has been the character
of the country, but what shall be her future
destiny.-Western Souvenir.

a capital horse to the munifcent monarch,

COMET OF 1911. A recent letter from
Dorpat mentions that Professor Lambern,
of that University, has calculated, that the
comet which remained so long visible in the
year 1911, was 574 times less than the sun,
but seventeen times larger than Jupiter,
twenty five thousand one hundred and four
times larger than the earth, and one mil
lion two hundred and fitty-fve thousand
two hundred times larger than the moon
whilst its volume exceeded the conjoint d.

system.

EARLY RISING. Nothing is so conducive to
health as early rising. We have often heard
from venerated friend, who presents at this
moment, remarkable instance of green old
age, that in all cases of remarkable longevity
within his observation, it seldom if ever failed
to be the fact, that the individuals had been
habitual early risers. He had known very old
men, who had been temperate, who had wholly
abstained from, and who had too freely used
spirituous liquors, bat he had never known a
very old man, who had habituated himselfto "
