A New Motive Power.

The London Mining Journal contains CON.
munica.ion from Adolph Count de Wefdlnski.
in which he describes a new motive power for
The propulsion of carriages on rails and CON.
mon roads, without engines, steam, air, mag
nelism, or animal power
The subject of The paien, has the advantages
of possessing greater expensive power than
steam, and being al the same lime more con

fifteen minutes into nitric acid, strengthened by

The explosive qualities of the fbres treated

The FatherleSS.

Speak softly to the fatherlesS'
And check the harsh reply
That sends the crimson to the cheek,
The tear-drop to the eye.
They have the weight OF loneliness
In this rude world to bear;
Then gently rise the fallen bud,
The dropping aoweret spare.
Speak kindly to the fatherless
The lowliest of their band
God keepeth, as the waters,
In the hollow of his hand.
'Tis sad to see life's evening sun
Go down in sorrows shroud,
But sad6er far still when mornings dawn
Is darkened by the cloud.
Look mildly on the fatherless
Ye may have power to vile
Their hearts from saddened memory
BY the magic smile.
Deal gently with the little ones,
Be pitlful, and He,
The friend and father of US all,
Shall gently deal with thee.

The Two Shadows.

BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
Il was an evening calm and fair
As ever drank the dew of June;
The living earth. the breathless air,
Slept by the shining moon.
There was rudely-woven seat
That lay beneath garden wall
heard two voices low and sweet,
saw two shadows fall.
Two shadows.-side by side they we're
With but line of light between
If shapes more real fingered there,
Those shapes were all unseen.
The voice which seemed ofdeepest tone
Breathed something which scarcely heard
And there was silence, save alone
One family whispered word. ,a.
And then the longer shadow drew
Nearer and nearer till it came
So close that one might think the two
Were melting to the same.
! heard sound that lovers know
A sound from lips that do not speak
But oh it leaves deeper glow
Than words upon the cheek.
Oea, maide.a, hast thou ever known
That sound which sets the soul on fret p
And is it not the sweetest tone
wrung from eari.h's shattered Tyre
Alas! upon my boyish brow
Fair lips hare often mote 'nan srniieo
But there are none to press now
am no more child.
Long. long the blended shadows lay
AS they were in a yiewless ioid'
And will they never break away.
So loving, yet SO cold !
They say that spirits walk the vale,
But that do not truly know
Iwonder when told the tale,
Why FANNY crimsoned SOL

Procrastination and Promptitude

Shun delays, they breed remorse;
Take thy time while time is lent thee
Creeping snails have weakest force;
Fly thy fault, lest thou repent thee;
Good is best when soonest wrought;
Lingering labors comes to nought
Hoist up sail while gale doth last;
Tide and wind wait no mans pleasure;
Seek not time when time is past:
Sober speed is wisdom's leisure;
After wits are dearly bought,
Let thy forewit guide thy thought.
