became SO great, that the inhabitants
had meeting, and deputed DR.. Phlas-

Tor the purpose of comparing ii with the
Mormon Bible, TO satisfy their own
minds. and TO prevent their friends from
embracing an error so deusiye. This
was in the year 1884. DIR. Hurlbut
brought with him an introduction, and
request, for the manuscript. signed by
Henry Lake and Aaron Wright, and
others, with all of whom was acquant-

am sure that nothing could gricvc
my husband more, were he living, than
the use which has been made of his
work. The air Of antiquity which was
thrown about the composition, doubtless
suggested the idea of converting it to
purposes of delusion. Thus an histori>
cal romance, with the addition of a few
pious expressions and extracts from the
sacred scriptures, has been construed
into a new Bible, and palmed off upon
company Of poor, dcludcd fanatics,

Sir George Cayley's Air Engine.


Many attempts have been made in England and
France, and in this country to convert air into
motive power, and according 10 the Polytechnic
Journal Sir George Galley has at length succeed
ed, and a locomotive carriage is now nearly finish
ed in London, which will be propelled On this prn-
c'p'e. Air is the motive power of this new engine
The principe is easily explained. Air is compr 81
sed bv the pump into receiver, TO be used when
wanted Motion is communicated 10 the wheels
by pistons acted upon by the air, which is raricd
by heat in its passage from the receiver to the CYL
endcrs, where it acts upon the piston rod much in
the same way that the steam Jocs.-Thus, TO COM
lnunicate motion TO piston, portion of the air in
the receiver is forced by compression into tubes sub
cced to heat, and from thence, in its rarfied state,
it rushcs to the cylinders the only place of escare.
Motion is accordingly produced. No water is re-
! quIed-a serious consideration and the consump-
ton Of coke is only from four to five pounds
weight per horse power mile The air-engine, by
obviltng the necessi of carrying water, and by
obtaining the full power from combustion In tho
! most economical manner, bids fair to be applicable
| on many occasions where the steam-engine is in
convenient, and to vie with it in power

4 good Joke,

have heard frst-rate joke about John Tur-
man, late Of Athens. He was stopping at a tavern
up the country, and used to lounge about the bar.
and come it over other peoples liquor. Not glass
could be left for a moment but he would silly slip
up and drink its contents. One day stage driver
came in and called fol a stiff horn of brandy toddy.
John Immediately shunled up to the bar The dri-
yer knew his man, and Immediately played possum
hy leaving his brandy while he stepped to the door.
The bait took-on returning be saw the glass empty
and exclaimed with all the diabolicai horror he
should effect
"Blandy and opium enough to kill forty men
who drank that poison =
al" stam,need John, ready TO give up the ghost
with alright
YOU'RE dead man," said the driver.
"What shall | dol' bcseechCd John, who
thought himself u gone sucker.
"Down with pint of lamp oil, or you are dead
man in three minutes" answered the wicked dri>
vcr.
And down went the lamp oil, up came the BRAN
dy and opium, together with Johns breakfast. The
Joke was told, and he has never drank other peo-
pies liquor snce.-BaitoR.

The Wife ofDuunIl Stewart.

IN the December No. of the London Quarterly
Review we find notice OF the wife of the illusir-
Gus philosopher, DugalI Stewart. She is there
said to have been equal her husband in Intellect
She was wholly free from podanry, and the world
was not made acquainted with her deep acquisl
tons by any display Of them which she made.
"On her hus band" says the Review, she dotted with
a love,match devotion to his studies and midnight
lucubrations she sacrificed her health and rest she
was his amanuensis and corregor"
When young lady she wrote a poem which
was acciden,lv shown by her cousin, Lord Lothian,
to Mr.. Stewart. The philosopher was so enraP-
tured with the perusal as 10 determine seeking her
hand in marriage The society of Mrs. Stewart Is

ted citizens Of Edinburgh and the distinguished
strangers who yisi ed that city. Her family name

l.aziness is the parent Of all sins that have been
a lazy fit at the time Saen tempted her; if Adam
had kept her busy she would have kept out of mis-
chief and we should all have been innocent and as
happy as lambkins Iflhe ontedeluvians had COM
menced building arks when Noah preached TO them,
th,y might have been saved, but they too la
w to work. and so they were drowned in the great
aqueous catastrophe The reason the Egyptians
refused to let the IHaeitcs CO. was because they
were too lazy to make their own bricks, and wished
to compel the Hebrews to do their work for them.
The consequences are all well known they were
plagued grievously, and afterwards drowned in the
red sea. Lazy people in our days are constantly
plagung themselves, and are an everlasting plague
and eye-sore to others. The sight of creeping life
less ndoIent man or woman, is misery to the thrifty
and Industrious People OF this class are fendless,
they are abhorred by their relations and unver-
sally dreaded. They not only hate to work them.

never knew fathers love,
Nv sire ne'er breathd prayer for me,
But if his voice was raised above,
1t was, to curse me bitterly.
] never knew, what twas TO sec,
A fathers kind approving look,
Bot if he ever smild on me,
|, was smile, scarce could brook.
I never knew what twas to feel,
Or look on him with flIal pride,
But if his name would DER me steal,
Abush'd, shun'd the sp, aket's side.
never knew what twas 10 watch,
His coming home, in childish play,
But when heard him lift the latch
Trembling with fear, ! shrInk away,
I've often gone with playmaes home.
And S, en- them climb their fathers knee,
And he would smile, to see them come,
And all would seem so full OF gIee.
But ah al noon, or evenlide,
dread my fathers step 10 hear
ais cherries at our iireside-
And mother's cheeks are pale with fear
All yes have one friend on earth;
Yet still boast mothers love,
And from the hour that gave me birth,
Have well her kind affection proved.
When sick at heart, seek my home,
With sorrow on my brow lmpress'd,
Sne soothes my woes, forgcts her own,
nd lulls N hpr a
How oft she sits in silent prayer,
While my own sire is railing by,
And oh! how oft her features bear,
The marks of his brutality.
All! who that has not felt, can tell,
What pain, what anguish, fills our heart,
And with what shame, our bosoms swell,
10 see him ac! so base part.
Oh, Thou! who to the fathcriess,
Hast promised Ihou'lt Father be
And specially the widow bless,
Who puts her only trust in theei
Oh. wilt Thou not in mercy bow,
Thine ever gracious, plying ear
Wit Thou not be my father now,
Wilt Thou not hear my mothers prayer
Yes, tho my fathers hearts so hard,
And we are 100, by sin defled,
Still Thou wilt be my mothers guard,
And Thou wilt shield the drunkards chill
