Horace Greedy says, some men who
know enough to advertise are 30 narrow As
to confine their advertisements to jovrn,ls
of teeir own creed or party. If they do not
choose 10 trade with any but men Of like
faith, this is wise, but if they desire TO
have the whole public for customers, it is
otherwise.

The Power of steam.

A pint of water, evaporated by two ounces of coal swells into two hundred and sixteen gallons of steam, with mechanical force sufficient 10 raise weight of thirty seven tons foot high. By allow ing il to expand by virtue of its elasticity further mechanical force may be attained, at least equal in amount to the former.
 Five piats of water. evaporated by a.pound of coal in locomotive engine, will exert a mechani- cal power sufficient to draw two tons weight on railroad distance of one mile in two minutes Four horses. in a stage-coach on common road, will draw tho same weight the same distance in eight minutes.
 Four tons of coal, worth twenty-five dollars, will evaPerAte water enough to carry on a railway a train of coaches weighing about eighty tons. and transporting two hundred and forty passengers, with their baggage, from Liverpool 10 Birmingham. aud back again, total distance l90 miles. in four hours and quarter each way. To transport the same aumber of passengers daily by stage coaches. on a common road. between the same places, would require twenty coaches, and an establishment of three thousand eight hundred horses. with which the journey in each direction would be performed is about twelve hours.--Ds.
