An EXAMPLE FOR s.-The Ma.
tonal Intelligencer gives from correspon-
dent, the following brief history of gentle.
man who has just been elected to Congress
in Pennsylvania. 1t is as honorable to him as
1t is encouraging to mechanics everywhere
ALEXANDER RAMsEY.-This gentleman has
been elected to Congress from the Harrisburg
district of Pennsylvania. Ten years ago he
was working at his trade Journeyman
carpenter. Shortly after he went for a year
or two to the Manual Labor College at Eas-
ton, where, though working his three hours
per diem at his trade to defray his expenses,
he made rapid progress in his studies He
left the institution before graduating, very
probably from want of means to pursue his
studies further. He subsequently taught school
for season, and then studied law under Judge
Reed, at Carlisle. He was admitted to the
bar in the year 1899. Two years since he
was elected clerk to the House of Representa-
,ivcs of Pennsylvania, and served as such for
one year. He is probably not over 30 years
of age: and is man of strong and vigorous
intellect; and is so much esteemed for his
personal good qualities by those who have
known him from his youth, that in his native
district (fIarrisburg) he ran nearly three hum
dred votes ahead of his ticket.

A RUSSIAN REVIEW.

The closing scene of the review deserves
particular meAtion. After that The fifty thou
sand soldiers mad marched in review order of
open columns past the emperor-a movement
which is generally the most interesting of all
III these exhibitions, as serving TO display in
molIon each several item of the force-and
after that the emperor had embraced his broth
er, the Archduke Michael, i'm font of the ar
my, and honored another general officer by
graspmg his hand "a favor which, were en-
Peror, should reserve as the reward of VIC
lory,) the troops were massed into one close
column, and advanced in this form in measur-
ed time, chanting their national anthem. The
effect was truly magnificent The fall of fifty
sand manly notes.-the electric sparkle of fE
ty thousand blades and sabres closely ranged
togeiher-the dark, deep mass Of life still
rolling on, without confusion, like some tide
OF lava from the crater of Etna, so irresista-
bic, so verwhelmng-nothing that have
ever seen or heard of. in actual conflict was half
so sublime as this. The emperor, surround
ed by his staff, rode in front the beautiful
young archduchesses in all open chariot, drawn
by two superb white horses, took position
ever In advance of the progressing torrent :;
and joined the other spectators TO form a
cortege around them. Their presence com
pleted the spell-the presence of highborn
beauty and grace on field consecrated to the
stern genius of battle, like some note of music
rising by the trumpet and enhancing the s,or-
my JOY of each martial sound.

Speak not to Him Il Bitter Word.

Wouid'st thou wandcrcr reclaim,
A wild aud restless spirit tame:
Check the warm flow of youthful blood,
And lead a lost one back TO God9
Pause, If thy spirits wrath be stirred
Speak not TO him bitter word
Speak not--that bitter word may be
The stamp that seals his destiny.
Ifwidcly he hath gone astray,
And dark excess hath marked his way:
lis pitiiul-but yet beware,
Reform must come with kindly care;
FORBID thy parting lips to move,
Save IN the tones of gentle love;
Though sadly his young heart hath erred,
Speak not to him bitter word.
The lowering frown he will not bear.
The vcnomcd chidiugs will not hear;
The ardent spirit will not brook
The singing tooth of sharp rcbukc
Thou would'st not goad the restless stecd,
To calm his fire or check his speed;
Then let not angry tones be heard
Speak not to him bitter word.
Go kindly TO him--malSc him feel,
Your heart ycarns deeply for his veal;
Tell him the dangers thick that lay
Around his "widcly devious way,H
So shall thou win him--call him back
From pleasures smooth, seductive track,
And warning thou hast mildly given,
May guide the wandcrcr up to Heaven.

A certain young lawyer Of the New York
bar, whose chin bears very strong resem-
blance TO the goat species, and under whose
arm huge bundle of papers is invariably
placed, took passage, about year since, on
board one Of the Hudson River steam boats.
After the removal of the tea table, a number Of
the passengers in the cabin entered into con-
versa,iou which terminated in politics. The
cabin was ndifferently lighted. much SO
that in some parts of it the countenances of
many were not easily distinguished. Our
young lawyer, with his bundle of papers un-
der his arm, rendered himself very conspicu-
Gus in discussing political matters, and in the
course Of his remarks was very abusive to-
ward Henry Clay.
An old gentleman, who was seated rather
IN the back ground, took occasion to say that
he had some acquaintance with Mr. Clay, and
was no, aware OF his being guilty of the gross
and indecent charges which this young gentle
man had imputed TO him. The young lawyer
then addressed himself to the Old gentleman,
and among other objections against Mr.. Clay
urged that he was IN favor of the bankrupt
law, and taking his well known bundle of pa-
pers from under his arm, exclaimed, 81 ami
a lawyer, sir! have examined this subject
thoroughly, and am fully convinced that the ,
bankrupt law is unconstitutional" The old
gentleman remarked that he did not know
much about law, but rather thought the law
was constitutional
The young lawyer, not thinking ii worth
while TO enter into law discussion with an
old gentleman, whose appearance in the badly
lighted cabin rather indicated that he was d
farmer, arose from his seat and walked toward
the stairs TO 60 on deck. As he reached the
loot OF the stairs he accosted gentleman, q
resident OF Poughkeepse, and inquired of him
IN rather passionate manner, whether he
knew that old gentleman who pretended to
give an opinion in favor of the bankrupt law
why. yes" answered the gentleman from
"don't you know him That
is Judge Thompson, of the Supreme Court of
the United States -
The young lawyer ensconccd himself "a
nong the passengers on deck, and neither he
nor his bundle of papers was seen again dur
ing the remainder of the passage

BURNING WATER.-A Mr. G. M. Stone. of
Louisville, Kentucky, contributes long paper
TO the Louisville Journal, in which he attemn,s
| to show that water will make very good fuel.
Alter pointing out the defects of wood and
coal as articles of fuel, he cndeavors to de-
monsirate the following points: First, that
the articles of liquid fuel are the best for use,
oehg composed almost entirely of carbona-
ceous matter, nnadulterated with extraneous
substances; second, that they imbibe no inois-
ture whose expansion, in the combustion of
the iuel, would carry off the heat without i'm
parting 1t TO the purposes intended third, tina,
they are more manageable and safer in their
consumption in dwellings, than the solid ma
lcrials, from the certainty OF keeping up d
more UNIFORM quantity of fire, unattended with
sparks or other inconvenience fourth, that
furnaces may be better adapted to their use
than the solid kinds fifth, that there is less
residue deposited In their combustion. so that
neater houses may be kept; sixth, that two
or more articles of liquid fuels may be made
to combine together, and TO produce cheaper
and more elegant combustion than either ar
tlce alone; seventh, that by their use LIQUIDS
not naturally combustible may be united to
them 10y chemical affinity. and be thereby rem
dered combusuble, thus aliording economical
modes OF producing heat. In conclusion, the
writer remarks
"Ihe theory of the various operations of
chemical affinity and its combinations in this
complicated operation OF rendering water
combustlble, without decomposition, has been
proven to be correct, and an achievement of
natural philosophy has resulted not less inn
porlant than the invention of the steam engine
itself
by these experiments The difiicuitproblcni
OF the union OF oil and water has been solved
in very simple manner; a cheap and elegant
fuel has been found; an interesting subject has
been presented for the contemplation of chem
lists and several new compounds secured in
the liquid form, as oil and wafer resitoiis mat
( Ter and water, bituminous matter and water,
and many others.
The chemical apparatus in which these
experiments have been tried has been convert
cd into n furnace for burning water, which It
accomplishes in efficient and profitable
manner. The furnace, however, has not been
brougltto complete state in this first exhibit
ton, but the principle is shown by which il
may be rendered perfect "-.Nat. Int.
