that which explains all its failures (for in
spite of my position, have failed) and its
reg'ets-I acant conuiction - sExactly,"
said my father, s'because to every question
there are two sides, and you look a. them
both.' "You have said t,'' answered Ire
vanion, smiling also "For public life man
should be one-sided; he mus. act with a
party; and the party insists that the shield
is silver, when, if i. will take the trouble to
turn the corner, it will see that the reverse
of the shield is gold Woe to the man ,ha.
makes that discovery alone, while the par
ty is still swearing that the shield is silver,
and that not once in his life, but every
night" "You have said quite enough to
convince me that you ough. not to belong
to party, but not enough to convince me
why you should no. be happy" said my
father. "Do you remember" said Sir Sed-
ley Beaudesert, "an anecdote of the first
Duke of Portland He had gallery in
the great stable of his villa in Holland, where
a concert was given once week, TO cheer
and amuse his horses. ! have no doubt the
horses ,hrived all the better for it. What
Trevanion wants is a concert once a week.
With him i, is always saddle and spur. Yet,
after all, who would no, envy him? If life
be drama, his name stands high in the
play-bill, and is printed in capitals on the
walls.-Ih Cations, by Sir T.. Lytton

PORTABLE STEAM ENGINE. Horace
Greeley writes thus in letter from Water
town, N. Y, to the Tribune:
"The best thing saw in Watertown was
the turnout Of two thousand people of
wild, stormy night to hear q dry talk on
temperance; the next best was new Port
able Steam Engine, invented aud manufac-
turcd by Hoard s Bradford, and sold (inclu-
ding boilers and all fclures,) at these rates:
half horse power, S75; one horse, SlOO,
two horse power, s 100; three horse, 1925,
four horse, $500. The two horse engine
| examined was running Napier power
press briskly, while burning abou. as much
fuel as common kitchen range. Certain
ly, ton Of sea coal would amply suffice
to run it fortnight, night and day, or a
month ten hours per day. The time must
be at hand when every thrifty farmer, with
nearly every mechanic, will have such an
engine Of his own, and chopping straw.
turning grind stone, churning, ehopping
wood, ,hreshing, Sc, will have ceased to
become a mechanical operation. Printing
press work must rapidly disappear before
the approach of this engine, which will be
running on wheels and driving scy.he be-
fore it, or drawing plow behind it, within
five years. We have hardly begun to use
steam as yet"

HAPPINESS, OUR BEINGS END AND AIM
81 donl't know that,' said my father 81

made happiness his end and aim. One

is not happiness they search for. No uiIi-
tartan was ever ac,ualed by self-in,crest,

unpopular crotchets to prove sclfintcrcsl
universal. And as to that notable dislinc-
tion-between self-inlerest vulgar and self
interest ightened--,hc more sclf-in,erest

1t. IT you tell the young man who has writ
ten fine book, or made fine speech, that
he will no, be happier if he attain to the
fame Of Milton, or the power Of Pitt, and
that, for the sake of his own happiness, he
had much better cultivate farm, live in the
country, and postpone to the las, the days
of dyspepsia and gout, lie will answer you

'True, brother, he is Il soldier, not an army"
said Captain Roland. "Li(e is drama, not
a monologue," pursued my father. "Drama
is Greek verb, signifying TO do. Every
actor in the drama has something to do,
which helps OH the progress of the whole !;
that is the object for which the Author Gre
ated him. Do your part, and let the great
