VINO CONrENTED.

One day, rs the Dervish Almoran,
the wisest o. all tn. followers Of the
Prophet, and the oracle Of the chief
Mufti Of Stamboul. was sittin, in n
shady grove, by the side of a hubling
fountain on the shore of the Bospho
rms. trying to fad ont the true road
to happiness. in order that he might
benefit his fellow creatures by com
municatins tho discovery, his specu.
lations were interrupted by q man
richly clothed. who, approaching,
sa, down and sighed heavily. c-y""i
oat at the same time, oh. Allah. /
besecch thee to rid me Of life, or tho
burdens with which it is laden"
Almoran, who was a sort of ANA,
tcur Of misery, because it afforded
him the pleasure of administering
consolation, approached the man Of
sorrow, and kindly inquired the cause
of his grief -" Art thou in want of
food. OF friends, of health, or any
of those comforts Of life that are
necessary to human happiness ! or
dost thou lack the advice of expert.
ence, or the consultations Of sympathy:
Speak, for it is the business of my
life to bestow them on my fellow

more than l want Of every thing. |

one, and the want Of that renders

And wha. is that ?" asked the
Dervish.
IL adore the beautiful Zulema ;
but she loves another, ald all my
riches and honors are az nothing. |
am the most miserable Of men my
life is burden. aud my death would
be the greatest Of blessings"
Before Al'noran could reply, there
approached a poor creature, clothed
in rags, and leaning on his staff bowed
down TO the earth with a load o!
misery. liz sat down moaning, as il
in great pain, aud casting his eyes
upwards. exclaimed " Allah he
my star, for | have none other ~
The Dcrvish went to him and
kindly said, "what aileth thee, 200,
man: : Perhaps it may be in my pow.
er to relieve thy distress. What
wan,est thou!

A SEW MOTIVE POWER.

Caraon,c acid gas is now in sue.
cess!ul operation in Cincinnati. The
discovercr is Prussian named Solo.
man whom political events drove TO
this country twenty-five years ago
For twenty-slx years he has labored
at this discovery. and if wa can rclv
upon the statement OF C;srs .Aacer.
t.ser and the Atlas, based upon sci
entlic inve,tisAtioa, an era greater
than that introduced by Watts, Is a.
waiting the discovery by Prof. So.-
onion. The following account is Civ.
Ell by tho ChIoniclc and Atlas, Of the
Is. inst.
The motive power is obtained by
the generation and expansion BY heat
Of carbonic acid gas. Common whit.
lns, sulphur;c acid and water. are
used in generating this gas. and the
boiler in which these componen,s are
held is similar in shape and size to u
commcu bombshcll. 4 small furnace
about the size Of one Of Dcdds Pa.
rodi hats, with a handful of limited
charcoal, furnishes the requisite heat
for propcllins this engire Of twenty,
five horse power. The relative pow.
er Of STAN and carbonic acid gas is
thus stated:
Water at the boiling point gives
pressure of fifteen pounds to the
square inch. With the addition of
thirty degrees of heat, the lower is
doble, giving thirty pounds; and SO
on doubling with every addition Of
80 desrscs Of heat, till we have 3,
o4o lbs. under a heat Of 452 degrees
a heat wh;oh nv "a, ,;.., ,an enI.,-.
But with the carbon twenty dcgrees
above the boiling point give 1880;
40 degrees give $3.50 lbs, 80 dcgs.
give 1920 pounds-that is 4S0 lbs.
greater power with this gas, than four
hundred aud ht,y-two degrees of ha4.
give by converting water into steam.
Not only does this invention multi.
ply power almost indefinitely, but it
reduces tho expense to mere nomi.
nal amount. The item of fuel for
first class steamer, between Cincinna,
ii aud New OfIeans-goins and re.
turning--is between 81 900 and | -
90; whereas s. will tarnish the Ini
terial for propelling the boat the SAM
distance By carbon. Attached to the
new engnc is also an apparatus for
condcnseing the gas after i. has pass
ed through the sylinders, and return
lug it again 70 the starting place, tlus
using it over anl allowing none to es
cape.
While the engine was in operation
on Monday, i. lifted a weigh, Of r..
900 pounds up the distance Of five
feet perpendicular, Eve times every
minute. The wei .:ht was PUT on by
way Of experiment. and does by mo
means indicate the full power Of the
engine.
Mr.. solomon will Immediately com
rncnce the construction Of another
engine on the same principle, Of three
hundred and fifty horse power. We
expect TO see steom entirely superse'
ded in the course Of a few years, for
locomotive aal mechanical purposes.

TRIBUTE TO PRESCOTT. THE HISTORIAN.

In publication of the speeches of the Duke OF
Argyle, the Earl Of Eglintoun and Others at soree
of the Glasgow Athenenm, held in the City Hall OF
that place, January 49, 1851, we find the following
passage complimentary TO WIN. H. PREscoTT, Esq :,
in the speech of the Duke of ARGYLE:
"Scotand, during the past year, was visited by very
eminent historian from the United States. Ny friend Mr.
Sheriff Alison, had the honor Of entertaining him. and bad

which prevents him from having that intimate and extensive
knowledge, at least through the media which other
acquire by being able to devote their leisure hours
the reading Of books He abors under infrmy Of sight,
and only, therefore in his writings those materials
which be gathers from the reading Of other persons Mr.
Prescott is republican, born in the West accustomed to
publican ideas in his country, and mSued with af the
spirit ofrepublican patriotism. Look the effect which his
torca reading and historical study have had npon bis hgA
