THE AGE OF STEAM AND FIRE.

No more we sing as they sang OF old,
To the tones of the llIe and Tyre,
For 10! we live in an Iron Age
In the age of Steam and Fire
The world IS too busy for dreaming,
And hath grown too wise for War:
So, to>day. for the glory oil science,
Let US sing Of the Railway Car!
The golden chario,s Of ancient Kings
Would dazzle the wondering eye.
And the heads of a million slaves might bow
As the glitierng tov rolled bv;
But this is the Cur Of The people.
And before it shall bow al. Kings
Be they warned when they hear the shrek-
ing
OF the Dragon with IRON wings!
The blood.stained Car of the Juggearnau',
Ger millions Of necks hath rolled,
And ils Priests have erred. 'such triumph
as ours,
The world shall never behold"
Eut vol when this Iafnessed Dragon
Comes vomiting smoke and fire.
For the Priests with their Car and IDOLS,
Shall perish tcnea,h tis fire
And wo 10 all who uphold the wrong
Love darkness rather than light
For Science hath opened broad highway
For knowledge, and Truth and Right,
And he sends forth his Car to gather
The people Of many lands,
Until the utermOst nations
Are grasplng each others hands.
And thus, when the people. las one, e,arc joinel
And each to his fellow is known,
Invention, and Art, and Skill shall work
At the bidding of Science alone.
And who can tell Of the greatness
The world may hope for then.
For the faith that moveth mountilns
Hath entered the souls of men.
Then sing no more, as they sung Of old,
TO the tones of the lutte and Tyre.
But sound the praise of the ron Age
OF the age of Steam aud Fire.
And sing to the glory of Science.
Exalt in The downfall of War
And shout for the fiery Dragon
As he flies with the Railway Car !!

The number Of Masons employed in

amounted TO seventy thousand more. The

WOMAN WITHOUT RELIGION "A man
without religion is, at best, poor repro-
bate. The ioot>buII Of deslinity, with no tie
linking HIM to iniinity, and to the wondrous
eternity that is begun within him; but o
woman without it is even w0rse-a home
without heat. a rainbow without color, a
flower without perfume. A man may, in
some sort. tic his fraiI hopes and konors,
with weak shifting ground-inckle. to busi.
ness or TO the world; but woman without
that anchor which they call Faith. IS a drift
and wreck! A man may cumsily con-
tinue kind Of moral responsibility out of
his relations TO mankind; but q woman. in
her comparatively isolated sphere. where
objection, and not purpose. is the control
ing motive, can find no basis for any sys-
tem Of right action, but that Of spiritual
faith. A man may craze hls thought aud
his brain to lrusliulness in such poor har-
bourage US Fame aud Reputation may
stretch before him; but u woman-where she
can put her hope IN storms, it not in Hea-
ven? And that sweet tru.ifulness, that a.
biding love, that enduring hope, melowing
every pnge and scene Of lfe-ligh,.ng ,hom
with the plcasanlcst rudIancc. when the
worlds storms break, like an army with
smoking cannou--what can bestow it all,

stronger than an army with cannon? Who
that has enjoyed the love OF a Christian
mother. bit ill echo the thought with en-
ergy, and ballow it with fear!

A CAREER OF CRIME.-A man named
Rowen pleaded in the Sussex Co., N.J.)
Court, a few days since, to charge of steal'
ing horse and wagon. The Sussex Re-
gis,er gives the following sketch Of his his
tory.
About eleven years ego he made his ap-
pearance in Sussex county with hand
some horse and wagon. calling himself Rev.
Edward D. Smith, Presbyterian minister
of New York, and an agent Of the New
York Colonization Society; and on the next
Sunday he preached at Greenwich church.
for Rev. Dr.. Junkin, after which a col!ec-
ton was taken up, proiessedly for the a.
bove society. In the afternoon he preach
ed at Slewarsvillc. where another collec.
ton was taken up.
pu.ipg rSS,s.,urp in Sussex. he ins'nua'
ted himself, bflalse representations, into
the affections of young lady, who IN
short time married him. Subsequently he
preached in and about Trenton under the
same name, but was obliged to leave that
vicinity for meddlng TOO much in politics,
and the next that was heard Of him was IN
Berks county. Pa. where he was still ofll-
cia,ing as clergyman; but having stole a
horse aad wagon, he was arrested, tried
and sent TO the prison. While there, his
young wife died of grief. The discovery
was now made that he was an old offender
and had been an inmate Of half dozer
state prisons, had pursued career Of crime
and impos,ure unparalleled; had married
many wives, and assumed great ma G,
different names: Leaving Moyamensing
he entered upon his ole career Of crime
his peculiar penchunt being the stealing o
horses and wagons. He now calls hlmsel
Blair; is a man advanced 10 years, wears
wig, gold spec,acles. and having every ap
reafance of fespec,ablity. His career O
crime, now, for a time a, least brought 10
close, has been q long and hardened one
and if all the circumstances OF it could b.
collected, the account would doubtless b,
interesting and instructive. Since his ar
rest, numerous instances of his infraction.
Of the laws OF this and other States have
,ranspred. He has not yet received bic

Gov. Hunt, of New York. has declined
interfering with the due course OF the law
IN the case Of Aaron B. Stookey. TO be ex'
ecuted in New York city. on the IGN 'nst'
for the murder of Zeddy Moore. The Cow
ernor, in concluding his letter on the sub
ject. remarks
"Stookey's crime may be traced directly
10 the habit he had adopted Of carrying
dangerous weapon concealed about his per,
son. His fate should be a warning 10 all
who indulge in this reprehenslble prac''ce'
l, canno, be too strongly impressed upon
their minds, ,ha. persons who choose to
carry concealed arms will be held to rigid
responsibility for the use they may make ol
them, and for all consequences that may
ensue."
