KIND WoRDs-UsE THEM.-Because
they fall pleasantly on the ears Of all to
whom they are addressed, and it is
therefore one of the ways of promoting
human happiness.
Because they leave an impression in
your favor, and thus prepare the way
for your greater influence over others
for good.
Because kind words powerfully con-
tribute to soothe and quiet your own
spirit when ruffied by the unkindness Of
others.
Because they show the difference be-
tween you and7the rude, malicious, or
tevengeful, and are suited to show them
their wreng
because they are suited to stir up the
Kind affections Of your own heart
There is sweet music in such voice
rightly to affect the soul.
Because they are SO uncommon, use
them that thare may be more Of such
bright stars in our dark armament.
Because they aid in carrying out the
divine Injunction, "be courteous" be
kindly affectionate one to another.
Because you cannot conceive Of any
truly benevolent being who would not
use them.
Because you have heard such words
from your God, and hope to hear such
forever.-[ American Messenger.

CONDENSED HIsroRY OF STEAM

CONDENSED History OF STEAM
About $50 years BE-, Hero Of Alexan-
dria formed a toy which exhibited some
of the powers of steam, and was moved
by its power.
A. ID. $40, Antheminus, an architect,
arranged several cauldrons of water,
each covered with the wide bottom Of
a leathern tube, which rose to q narrow
top with pipes extended to the rafters
Of the adjoining building. A fire was
kindled beneath the cauldrons, and the
house was shaken by the efforts Of the
steam ascending the tubes. This is the
first notice of the power of steam re-
corded.
In 1549, June II, Blasco de Gaory,
tried steamboat Of 2O9 tons with toll
cradle success, at Barcelona, Spain. 1t
consisted of cauldron of fboiIing water,
and movable wheel on each side of
the ship. 1t was laid aside as imprac-
ticable. A present, however, was made
to Gaory.
In 1850, the first railroad was con-
Structed at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The first idea of steam engine in
England, was in the Marquis of Wor-
cester's Z" History Of Invention" A. d.
1868
In 1901, Newcomer made the first
steam engine in England.
In IT'S, patents were granted to Sa-
vary for the first application Of the
steam engine.
in 1884, James Watt made the first
perfect steam engine in England.
In 1886, Jonathan Hulls first set forth
the idea of steam navigation.
In 1778, Thomas Paine first proposed
the application in America.
In 1881, Marquis Jouffrey construct
ed steamboat on the Saone.
In 1885, two Americans published a
work on it,
In 1889, William Symington made a
voyage in one on the Forth and Clyde
Canal
In 1902, this experiment was re-
peated.
In 1882, Ramsay propelled boat by
steam at New York.
In 1887, John Fitch, of Connecticut,
navigated boat by steam engine on
the Delaware.
In 1893, Robert Fulton first began to
apply his attention to steam.
In 1898, Oliver Evans, a native of
Philadelphia, constructed a locomotive
steam engine to travel on a turnpike
road.
The first steam vessel that ever cross
ed the Atlantic was the Savannah, in
the month Of June, 1919, from Charles
ton to Liverpool.-[ Hunts Merchant's

HE PRESS OF CALIFoRNIA.-Wi With
in year and-a-half eighteen-twentieths
OF the newspapers of California have
sprung into existence. Two years ago
type were worth and would command
their weight in silver, and presses any
sum the holder might feel disposed to
ask. Printers were and are paid six
times the amount paid in the States,
and an establishment which would be
purchased for fifteen hundred dollars
there, would readily command twenty
thousand here. Nearly every printing
otfice now III California has been. pur--
chased at exorbitant rates. Every thing
that printer requires here is paid
for at those rates; and yet large ma
Jority of those requiring printing here,
expect that it can be afforded at East
ern prices, on trust, and are astonished
that the printer does not "wax fat" at
that II [Marysville Herald.

LoNsEvIrY.-Riding lately on one Of
the steamers plying between this city
and Long Island, we met an old gentle
man ninety-six years of age, hale and
hearty, with perfect eyesight and hear
ing, on visit, alone, to some of his
children. He informed US that he was
born in the town of Hampstead, Long
Island that he has lived on the Island
all his life that his wife died ten years
ago at the age Of eighty, after a mar
riage relation with him of sixty-three
years; that he was a volunteer in the
revolution, and has, at the present time,
living, ninety children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, and children Of
great grandchildren. He has scarcely
known day Of sickness, and attributes
his health and long life largely to his
systematic habits as farmer, and his
careful, simple diet. Long Island has
produced more cases Of remarkable Ion
gevity than any equal population in the
Union, in the same period. This speaks
well for the salubrity of the Island

REMARKABLE MEMoRY.-The New
York correspondent of the Burlington
Courier, relates the following:
GA friend of mine recently offered
to wager that his daughter, girl fifteen
years old, would repeat from memory
the entire contents of any page of any
single copy Of the N. Y. Sun, within
twenty-four hours after its publication.
You know, of course, that this paper
is almost wholly filled with advertise
ments. Considering the want of con-
nection between the paragraphs, and
in the number and variety Of the adver-
tisements, | thought light safely ven
ture "; selected the third page of
that days issue.
Imagine my astonishment, however,
when the next day, the talented young
lady, accompanied by her father, called
upon me, and repeated the contents of
the entire seven columns, ver6Gtim ct
Lterattm. | regard this as most re-
markable instance Of the magic power
Of memory"

A CHANCE FOR THE CLAIKvoYANTs.
AT meeting of the Medico-Chirur-
gical Society, in March last, Professor
Simpson stated his total disbelief in the
animal magnetism phenomena Of lucid
ity, transference of the senses, clair
voyance, &c., and offered, through the
President Of the Society, one hundred
pounds TO any clairvoyant who would
read line of Shakespeare, which he
would write on slip of paper, and in
close in box. The challenge has not
yet been accepted,-[ Scotsman.

TELEGRAPH ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
A Mr. Reynolds, of New York, pro-
poses to construct telegraph commu-
nication across the Atlantic at cost of
9,0OO,O0O dollars. He thinks the plan
practicable and safe, and sets forth that
the distance between Cape Canso, above
Halifax, on the American coast, and the
nearest point in ireland, near Galway,
is about 1000 miles along the banks of
Newfoundland, which. are known to
extend within 100 miles of the coast of
Ireland, at an average depth of 800
feet. A line of this length, consisting
Of four wires perfectly insulated in by
good gutta percha, Of the size proposed,
would last hundreds Of years, as the in
sulating substance is indestructible in
water, and has strength almost equal
to iron. Such a line would weigh about
10000 tons, and would require about
l 500 tons Of iron anchors. The cost of
everything, when in complete working
order, would be less than 5000, 900 dol
lars. Such line would do more to ad-
vance intelligence, true liberty, and the
interests Of the people, than anything
hitherto achieved in the way OF g oblit-
Grating time and space.o

SOULS, NOT STATIONS.

Who shall Judge man from manners?
Who shall know him by his dress
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest could do no more.
There are springs Of crystal nectar
Ever swelling out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed, and overgrown
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me.
While He values thrones, the highest,
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters -lords-remember,
That your meanest hands are men.
Men by labor-men by feeling
Men by thought and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobled name.
There are foam embroidered oceans
There are little weed clad rills-
There arc little inch high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
But God, who counts by souls, not stations
Loves and prospers you and me,
For to him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Of o nations wealth and fame;
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattenfd on the same;
BY the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifteth up its voice.
But truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light,
And sunsets wrongs shall never prosper,
While there is sunny right; ling
And God, whose world-heard voice is sing
Boundless love to you and me,
Will sink oppression with its titles,
AS pebbles on the sea.

RAILwAYs.-Them most remunerative
railway in all Germany, and probably
in Europe, is the railway from Furth
to Nuremberg Gin Bavaria) 1t is, at
the same time, the shortest and the old
est line in Germany. Its length is one
league and a-quarter (French), and the
cost of its construction amounted to
100000 florins, 100000 francs The
gross receipts in 1850 were 50, 900 flo
rims. The working expenses were
1884 fiorins, leaving a net profit of
26,861 forins, or at the rate of IS 1-2
per cent. on the capital invested. This
railway has been open for traffic fifteen
years, during which time no fewer than
100000 passengers have travelled by
it, and not single passenger has met
with the slightest accident.

INTERESTING STATIsTIcs.-In geo
graphy lately compiled by Mr.. Joseph
G. Hart, it is suggested by the author,
that the old method of naming the seve-
raj States composing the Union was, to
say the least of it, Incorrect; thus, the
" Middle States," so called, are now, in
consequence of the gradual accession of
territory, anything but middle" He
proposes that they shall be divided into
Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Cen
tral-Central States forming the centre
of population, as well as the geopraph-
-icai centre of tie country. According
to this arrangement, New York, Penn
sylvania, New-Jersey, Michigan, Wis
consin and Delaware, would form the
SIX Northern States, containing an ag-
gregate population of 6,691 ,OOO Mas
sachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island,
containing 2,727,OOO, would form the
six Eastern States. Ohio, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, the
Central States, with 5,829,OOO. The
Southern States would consist Of Vir-
ginia, Georgia, North-Carolina, Alaba-
ma, South Carolina, Mississippi, Mary
land, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and
the District Of Columbia, containing
altogether population of 6,561 ,OOO
The four Western States and six Ter
ritories would comprise Missouri, Ar
kansas, California, and Iowa; and New
Mexico, Utah, Oregon, Minnesota,
Nebraska and the Indian Territory,
embracing eighteen tribes. These, with
the thirty eight Indian tribes east Of the
Rocky Mountains, contain population
of ,699,OOO.

JEWS IN RUssIA.-lt is well known
that several imperial ukases have of
late been issued in Russia with regard
to the Jews, which not only forbid
them to wear the dress peculiar to their
nation, but 60 so far as to forbid their
women to cut their hair in their own
fashion, and make Restrictions, all
which are intended to compel the Jews
in mass and become nationalized, and
enter the bosom of the Russian church.
But many circumstances make it ap-
pear probable that these imperial ordi-
nances will have an effect entirely op-
pOsite to what had been expected. Ma
ny wealthy rabbins have already left
Russia because they were not willing
to become citizens of the country, and
because their women refused to cut off
their hair in the required manner. 1t
is also feared that the rich Jewish corn
merchants will follow this example, as
the trade in corn brandy, both whole
sale and retail, is prohibited to them,
and the pecuniary responsibility laid
upon all Jews in case of infringement
of the imperial edict is so severe that
many others will probably be driven
from the country German paper.

the remains Of the celebrated Pizarro,
who was assassinated in the palace

| dropped into the hand of the attend
Ing sacrlstan procured H4c is>ls.-:se;on
into the crypt. Descending few steps,
| entered a small place, some twenty
feet long, quite light and whitewashed,
and which smelt and looked so much
like comfortable wine-cellar, that |
caught myself more than once looking
round for the bins and bottles. The
first object | saw was large square
tomb, surmounted by the erect figure
Of an abbot, and close by, in narrow
opening in the wall, noticed what ap-
peared to me to be collection Of dusty
rags, but closer inspection proved
that this was all that remained of the
renowned conqueror of Peru. He has
still on him the clothes and shoes which
he wore at the time Of his assassination.
Of course his body is nothing but a
skeleton covered with dried flesh and
skin, so that no features are discernible.
The body is covered with the remains
Of what was once white linen, swathed
around him, but the dust of centuries
has collected on it, and turned it to a
light-brown color, and it almost pulve-
rizes when touched The body is
placed OH a narrow piece Of plank, in
a sloping position; and has been placed
in this hole merely to put it out of the
way, The folks in Lima do not think
anything Of the remains Of poor Pizar-

judiciously invested, would procure for
any curiosity-hunter the whole of his

LATE FROM CHILE.-By the arrival
of the bark Circassian, at San Francis
co, late news has been received from
Chile Of the insurrection, which was
regarded at last accounts as almost
crushed. By the following letter, to
the San Francisco Herald, it will be,
seen that the insurgents have become
stronger and more pertinacious than
ever-attacking the government troops
even III tho streets ofValparaiso. It 10
pleasing to see that our naval force, in
Chile, was on the alert to protect the
property Of our citizens in that place j:
On the 9th October, about 4P. NJ,
| was astonished by the sudden closing
of the stores, and the cry of revolution
in the streets. Immediately after, an ad-
vance of regiment of infantry, headed
by General Blanco, Governor of Valpa-
raiso, rushed down the Gale Cochrane.
had complete view of all from thewin-
dows of my house, which overlooked
the scene-the troops had advanced
about two squares, when they were
checked by well directed volley of
musketry, when some twenty of the sol
diers fell this was returned and volley
succeeded volley in rapid succession,
with the booming of can
mona piece which the insurgents had
seized at the arsenal--besides taking
possession of the barracks, with all the
arms, SC.
The marines and large number of
sailors from the Raritan, (American,)
and the English and French war YES
sells, we'll armed with four pieces of
cannon, were on the mole all night to
protect the property of the citizens of
their respective nations.
Coquimbo was in the hands Of the in
sMrgents, with all the arms, ammuni-
ton, &C., as well as the custom house
treasury and the government officers
had been seized and exlled by them to
Peru, paying Captain Mathews, of an
American brig, the sum Of $500 for
their passage. 1t was said there was an
organization formed to seize the Eng
lish steamer from Peru, and obtain the
treasure on board but the captain was
on the alert, having met the Chill, an
other steamer of the same line, and
hearing from her that one of the GO
vernment officers of Coquimbo, having
taken refuge on board, was seized by
the insurgents, in despite, as the cap
tain urged, Of the protection of the
English flag. So the New Granada
was careful, on approaching the shores
of Coquimbo, until she made out an
English steamer-of-war in the harbor.
When she put in she was boarded by an
oficer-he and his men in the boat
being fully armed-who would not
allow any communication with the shore
until he had examined the boat Of the
Captain Of the Port, &C., when she took
in few passengers, and proceeded to
Valparaiso. This was the boat of the
Goth September.
1t was rumored in Valparaiso that
Quiotto was in the hands of Gen. Cruz,
and that he was advancing on Valpa-
raiso with 10000 men, on his way to
Santa Lugo and | have little doubt
that he will succeed, as almost every
