MARRIED LIFE.-The following beauti-
ful and true sentiments are from the pen of
that charming writer, Fredcrika Bremen.
whose observations might well become
rules of life, SO appropriate are they to
many Of its phases:
Deceive not one another in small things
nor in great. One little single lie has, be.
fore now, disturbed a whole married life.
A small cause has often great consequences.
Fold not the arms together and sit idle
"Laziness is the devils cushion" Do not
run much from home. Ones own health
is of more worth than gold.
Many marriage, my friends, begins like
the rosy morning, and then falls away like
snow wreath. And why. my friends?-
Because the married pair neglect to be as
well pleasing to each other after marriage
as before. Endeavor always, my children,
to please one another; but at the same
time keep God in your thoughts. Lavish
not all your love on TO. day. for remember
that marriage has its tomorrow likewise,
and day after tomorrow, too. Spare, as
one may say, fuel for The winter.

NEW ENGINE OF WAR.

We find the following in the Baltimore
American of the 3O,h ul,:
We copied paragraph from the New
York Sun day or two ago stating that a
gentleman of that city had invented
powerful engine for harbor defence. The
New York Herald has quite an extended
notice of the invention, which is said to be
simply a modification of the principle of
the sling, applied to machinery, in connec.
ton with tube or gun, throwing out
discharge of thirty balls in a minute, for
hours together. The machine is so con.
structed that on putting in at the end the
balls to be discharged, rotary motion is
produced by means of crank, and, by
few rapid revolutions, each ball receives a
force and momentum equal to that commu-
nicated by any quantity Of gunpowder.
When this has been done, slide starts and
allows each ball 10 escape in succession
| from the chamber into tube, when they
are thrown to almost any distance, and
with unerring aim. The inventor is Mr..
McCar,ey. a gentleman connected with The
navy yard al Brooklyn. A number of ex-
periments were recently made with this
new engine of destruction by order of the
Government, and are said to have given
entire satisfaction to the distinguished per.
sons who witnessed them. On one occa.
sion about twenty pieces of solid timber
were united together, forming one compact
body. Against this peace Of wooden breast.
work, Mr.. Mccartney opened tho battery
of his piece of ordnance. and in less than
ten minutes the whole solid breasiwork was
+, utterly demolished and shivered 10 splinter

This world in truths as good world,
As ere was known to any
Who have not seen another yet,
And these are very many;
And if the men and women too
Have plenty of employment,
Those surely must be hard to please
Who cannot find enjoyment.
This world is quite pleasant world,
In rain or pleasant weather,
If people would but learn to live
In harmony together;
Nor cease 10 burst the kindly bond
BY love and peace cemented,
And learn that bes! OF lessons yet,
To always be contented.
Then were the world pleasan! world,

Brought on by borrowed troubles.
