/ THE TYRANT,s SWAY.
BY GEO. P. MORRIS.

The heart that owns thy tyrant sway,
Whate'er its hopes may be,
Is like bark that drifts away
~ Upon a shoreless sea!
No compass left to guide her on,
Upon the surge she's tempest torn,
And such is life to me,
And what is life when love is fled!
The worlds unshared by theel
I'd rather slumber with the dead,
Than such wall to be!
The bark that by no compass steers,
Is lost, which way soe'er she veers.
And such is life to me!

DECISION AND DEsTINy.-Prescott relates
that Pizarro, the conqueror of Peru, in one of
his reverses, was cast on the island of Gallo,
with few of his followers. When in stary-
ing condition, two vessels arrived from Panama
for his relief, and to induce him to abandon the
object. Now came the test of his decision of
character, and the determination of his earthly
destiny. Drawing his sword he traced line
on the sand from east to west. Then turning
towards the south--"Frends and comrades"
he said, con that side are toll, hunger, and ma
kedness, the drenching storm, desolation and
death; on this side, ease and pleasure There
lies Peru and its riches-here Panama and its
poverty. Choose, each man, what becomes
brave Castillian. For my part, go to the
south" So saying, he stepped across the line
He was followed by eleven others, and Peru
was conquered.

GEMS OF THouGHT.--Rcligion is said to be
the true basis of mans conduct, but oftener it
is made the pedestal of his pride.
When we are alone we have our thoughts to
watch; in our families our tempers--and in So
ciety our tongues.
There are too difficulties in life, men are dis
posed to spend more than they can afford, and
to udul ge more than they can endure.
Some bigots would rather hear man con-
delnn religion--than to speak harshly of their
own particular sects.
Where necessity ends, curiosity begins, and
no soone! are we supplied with everything that
nature can command, than we sit down to cul-
tivate artificial appetites.

IMPROVEMENT IN SUGAR APPARATus.--Mr.
Eugene Duchamp, Of Macon: Bib Co., Ga,
has invented and taken measures to secure 4
patent for very valuable improvement in the
manufacture Of sugar. The lost heat from
the boiler of the steam engine on the planta-
ton is carried along ard made to assist direct
ly in the boiling of the sugar syrup. Heated
air is also forced into the syrup or boiling H.
qud, while at the same time, a current of heat
ed air is made to produce a draught above the
syrup boilers for the purpose Of carrying off
the vapor and inducing it to escape. The up
paratus is constructed and arranged to econo.
mise fuel and labor, and as a substitute for the
expensive vacuum pan.--Scieutlfc American.

RrssE1..s IMPROVEMENT IN CHIMNEY CAPS.
--Air. Charles W. Russell Of Washington
C.iy, y. c., has invented and taken measures
10 secure 4 patent fer Il very valuable improve
ment in Caps for Chimncys, the object OF which
is to protect the chimney or tlue--irr"spective
ofthe position in which it may be placed with
regard to surrounding oOjects--against any
downward current Of air, and to make any cur
rent or gust of air, entering the cap, produce 4
vacuum. thus tending to give the smoke an
upward motion, etlecuaiIy preventing any
back draught. The construction Of this chin
ney cap is very different from any other that
has come under our notice Mr.. Russell is the
inventor and patentee of the "Centipretal Fire
Place" for preventing chjmneys from smo-
king, and which was patented on the 9th
March last year. The merits of this invention
have been spoken Of in the highest terms Of
praise aud his present Improvements in CHM
ney caps are 10 less worthy Of commendatlon.
