Experience has lItely been made in Eng
land, with much prom Sc of success, for APP
plying atmosphere pressure as a motive pow
er on railroads. At one time il was proposed
to shoot passengers and carriages through a
tunnel exhausted of its air, by which means
any degree Of rapidity of motion could be
obtained, but there was the trihng obstacle
that passengers would have NO air to breathe.
The propelling Of mills by such convey
ance between two prominent points, has
been IA favorite plan with some ingenious
Englshmen. The next projected was to
apply the power through tube carrying the
carriages along on the outside, attached to
the moving body on the inside by an iron
arm running in a slit along the top of the
tube. The great difinlty for a. while has
been 10 make the tube air right, while the
arm runs along the slit. 1t now appears that
an invention has been made answering this
purpose completely. The arm is made to
play freely in running slit, while the tube
before the carnage is kept perfectly air tight
preserving the degree ofexpansion necessa-
~ for the required velocity. The mode of
operation cannot be we'll understood without
diagrams. The principle is, the application
Of atmospheric air to a piston, which is
IN ide 10 travel in a tube exhausted of its
air, and carry wiz il a train of carriages on
the ont side. The air is exhausted from

DRAWING IN SCHOOLS.

In many schools which we have visited, the
value of drawing, as freGdent exercise, has
been happily tested in variety of ways.
In the first place, il is ofgreat use in employ
ing waste time. Whoever knows the great
mass ofour schools, must be sensible, that their
greatest evil is want of sufficient business for
their children, especially the youngest. The
prevailing practice in many schools is, to find
the small children some lesson to learn, which
they are called upon to recte; or more common.
ly perhaps, they are taught in class once each
half day, and during the rest Of the time have
little or nothing to do. tits often said by teach.
ers, that they keep books from them, except a
short period in each session, because they de-
stroy them by handling, while they do not
learn, except when under immediate instruc-
ton.
Now ten, twenty, or even FIVE small children
left thus unemployed, must inevitably cause
disorder But give them states and pencils,
with convenient desks to lay them on, and
great difference will be seen, even if they are
left entirely to lves.--PIace before them
a few cards, with well formed letters, words, the
elementary geometrcal figures, drawings Of
familiar objects, &c, and they will teach them.
selves something of drawing, reading, and wri-
ting. Let them then have the arithmetical ta-
bIes in sight, maps, running hand copies, &c,
and as they grow older, they will soon be found
spontaneously learning something important in
several branches.
But lei the teacher occasionally give the pu-
pills familiar and practical lessons in the Gle.
monts Of drawing, and show him how the let.
ters Of the Roman and the written alphabet
may be resolved into the simplest lines Ex-
ercises ofthis kind are considered by some ex-
perienced teachers as OF much more importance
than the constant training fthe hand TO par
tcular manner Of holding pen. In many
schools, children are encouraged 10 use states
as early as they can hold pencil, and allow
ed to place the hand as nature dictates, under
the belief, that in early life its natural proper
tons incline it to different position from
that to which it may be afterwards readily
brought.

TO YOUNG MEN,

There is no moral object so beauti 'ul TO me
as conscious young man! watch him as |
do the stars in the heavens; clouds may be be-
fore him, but we know that his light is behind
them, and will beam again; the blaze Of others
prosperity may outshine him, but we know,
that though unseen, he Eliminates his own
sphere. He resists temptation not without a
struggle, for that is not virtue, but he does re.
sist and conquer; he hears the sarcasm Of the
profligate and it stings him, for that is the tri-
al OF virtue, and he heals the wound with his
own touch. He needs not the world offashion
if it lead to sin; the atheist who says not only
with his heart but with his lips, ''there is nc
God" controls not him, for he sees the hand Of
a creating God and reverences it. Woman is
sheltered by fond arms, aud guided by loving
counsel; old age is protected by its experience
manhood by its strength, but the Young mar
stands the temptations ofthe world, like self
balanced tower. Happy if he seek and gain
the prop and shelter ofchrstianity.
Onward, then, conscientious youth! raise THY
standard, and nerve thyself for goodness. Il
God has given thee intellectual power, awake
it in that cause; never let it be said office, he
helped to swell the tide Of sin, by pouring his
influence into its channels. If thou art feeble
in mental strength, throw not drop into the
polluted current. Awake, arise young man
assume the beautiful garments Of virtue! i
is easy, fearfully easy, 10 sin; it is difficult t(
be pure and holy. Put on thy strength, then
let thy chivalry be aroused against error, lie
truth be the lady of thy love-defend her.
