Mr.. Welsh said the bill was a crude and

A MODEL DEMocRAT.-We find in the Alba
ny Argus an incident related Of q firm and re-
liable Democrat of the Empire State, which we
subjoin as worthy of all imitation by the dem
ocracy of the West:
ain 1874, Mr.. c. was farmer residing in the
Oaks Corners district of the good old town of
Phelps-(who has not heard of Phelps)! Bu-
siness called him, late in the fall, to Michigan
but determined to be at home in season to give
a vote for Polk and Dallas, he started from De-
troit in the 6" Julia Palmer" in storm, and
when no other vessel would venture to make
the trip. The J. p, after a long and tempestu-
Gus voyage, dragged her anchor and was wreck
ed between Buffalo and Black Rock. Her pas
sengers were taken off on the morning of the
election. As soon as landed, Mr.. G. fastened
to the nearest point to take the cars for home.
The train was thrown off the track, and thus
detained so long that it did not connect with
the train at Rochester But Mr.. c. was not the
man to "give it up so." He went to a livery
stable, and ascertaining that the proprietor
would engage to carry him through in season,
pledged him $40 if he would accomplish it.
The distance-some forty miles-.was gone
over in about five hours, even with the bad state
of the roads then prevailing; Mr. C., usually
the first at the polls, had the pleasure of cast
ing the last vote in his district for the democrat
ic ticket of 1914.

Nashua, N. H., has taken measures to secure a
patent for new and useful improvement on
his Patent Signal Lights, which were illustrated
and described on page l45, this volume of the
Scientific American. Instead Of employing two
lamps, as represented in the illustration refer
red to, he now employs only one; the signal is
made more simple, and at far less expense, and
it can be seen on four sides. We shall soon
publish an engraving of it, when more ful!
description of it will be presented to our read
ers. Good night-signals are among the most
important inventions of the age.

LINES TO j. A.

by MRS. 5. t. A.
am alone! And why is it 4?
When merry children, three,
Are ever bounding round my feet,
Or climbing on my knee.
Each rejoces, cheerful voices,
Fain would have me join their glee;
While I'm signing, loue undying,
For dear one lost to me.
Yes I'm alone! What bitterness,
This little word can tell.
When my lonely pillow press,
Iknow its meaning well.
Memories waken, and forsdken,
Strikes me like funeral knell;
While I'm weeping, vigils keeping,
With my lost one, would dwell.
Oh yes, alone! When gathering round
My table, spread with care,
Each loving one, place has found,
But where's the mothers chair!
Time will show it, well know it;
She that used to bless us there,
Choicest treasure, beyond measure,
Comes no more our meal to share.
The morning dawns as pleasantly;
And midday beams as bright,
Still evening comes with sOftening ray;
But i'm my heart it's night.
Spring is coming, busy humming,
Voices ringing with delight,
JOY has left me, fate bereft me;
Hopes I've cherished fled from sight.
To be alone! 'Tis sad indeed
Yet not alone | know
While many brothers heart in need,
Its sympathy would show
For me praying-kindly saying,
He whose mercy dealt the blow,
Called to Heaven, what He'd given
Onward, upward, brother go.
Though I'm alone, it may be mete
For He whose will is best
Perchance to turn my wandering feet,
Has called her to his breast
Clouds that hover, darkly over
Oft with golden edge are dressed.
Mercy's token, hope has spoken,
Bow of promise DER me rest
Then I'm not all alone, since He,
Who rides upon the storm,
With wings of love o'ershadows me,
And shields from every harm.
Though he chide me, will hide me
Meath His own almighty arm;
He'll distress me, save to bless me,
Then I'll trust his sOvreign balm.
And should my weary days be few,
Or count three score and ten;
With the bright bow of hope in view,
I'll find my own again.
There, Tomorrow brings no sorrow
To my heart; nor care, nor pain;
Homeward driven-star of Heaven,
Steer my bark that shore to gain.

There is moral in everything A moral can
be drawn from the vilest action of man, as well
as from his greatest deeds. So we should al
ways consider that though we may receive ma
ny injuries from our fellow men, it will all re.
suit in the end for our good, and we, by the very
causes that seek our downfall, be rendered the
greater, happier, and wiser.

A communication in the Charleston Courier,
states that for the last ten years the sea has not
only been encroaching, on the harbors of the
Southern States, but has threatened to invade
their rice river domain with its salt inundatons.
The mouths of the Wacamaw and of the Santee
have been alike alarmed with its picking quail
ties and the Cooper has suffered under these uu-
favorable influences almost to its sources. The
right arm of Charleston, yielding some 10000
tierces of rice for export, is in danger Of being
Topped off, and one of the most valuable staples,
and the most perfect system of cultivation by ir-
rigation, may be lost to the State, if speedy and
effectual measures are not adopted to drive back
the salt to its natural element, the ocean.

PRoGREss.-Seventeen years ago, says the
Wall street Journal, a young man came to this
city from the country with but ten dollars in
his pocket and pocket bible under his arm
He applied himself industriously to business,
and is at this moment believed to be one of the
fastest hands at opening oysters and cleaning
shad in the city. He is excelled by very few in
the chowder line. This is not the only instance
of the remarkable progress made by ambitious
country youths who have come to the city to

IMPROVED PRINTING PREss.-Joel Dinsmore,
Of Blooming Valley, Pa, has taken measures to
secure a patent for improvements in Printing
Presses. The object of this invention is to
make cheap press of convenient form to be
worked by hand, but capable of doing greater
amount of work in given time than the common
press. The printing is performed by passing
the paper round cylinder hung in carriage,
which is moved backwards and forwards along
stationary frame or railway, upon which is
fixed a type-bed which carries the form and at
each end of which there is a feeding board, from
which the sheets are supplied to the cylinder.
The cylinder is made to revolve by the move
ments of the carriage revolving in opposite d.
rections. 1t is furnished with two sets of fin
gers, which take sheet from each feeding
board, alternately, the cylinder carrying the
sheet over the form and printing it as the said
carriage moves towards the feedng-board the
fingers release the sheet at the proper time by
suitable mechanism. scientific American.

RELIEF OF SIR JOHN FRANKLN-The New

Advance has been thoroughly overhauled in the
sectional dock, and that she is now ready for
sea. 1t is said that Mr. George Peabody, the
wealthy American banker of London, has ex-
pressed his readiness to cooperate with Mr..
Grinnell in starting another Arctic expedition
from this port, by authorizing drafts to be made
upon him for $4,000 toward that purpose, and
if the Government can spare the requisite offi-
GERS and men, numbers being ready to volunteer

that the Advance and Rescue may sail once

IMPROVED RIFLE BARREL.-Benjamin d. San
ders, of Holidays Cove, Brooke Co., Va, has
taken measures to secure patent for an i'm
provement in rifle barrels. The improvement
consists in making the grooves of the barrel of
form somewhat resembling the letter V in
their transverse section, that is to say, the bot
tom of groove is formed by single and, in
stead of by two angles in the ordinary way
The object of the Improvement is to make the
patch, when inserted with the ball, fill the
grooves more tightly than can be done by the
common grooves. The barrel, by the new
grooves, is kept more clean, as each patch cleans
out the barrel completely in its course, and the
explosive force of the powder is more directly
confined and exerted upon the bullet than can
be done in barrel where the grooves are not
so tightly packed by the patch.

DARK HoURs.-There are hours, dark hours
that mark the history of the brightest year.
For not whole month in any of the millions
that have past, perhaps, has the sun shone brill
lantly all the time. And there have been cold
and stormy days in the year; and yet the mists
and the shadows Of the darkest hours were dis
sipated and fitted heedlessly away. The cruel
est of the ice fetters have been broken and dis
solved, and the most furious storm loses its
power to harm.
And what parable is all this, of human life
of our inside world here the heart works at
its destined labors! Here, toowe have the over
shadowing of dark hours, and many cold blast
chills the heart to its core. But what matters
it? Man is born a hero and it is only by
darkness and storms that heroism gains its
greatest and best Development and illustration
then it kindles the black cloud into a blaze
of glory, and the storm bears it more rapidly to
its destiny.
Despair not then Never give up; while
one good power is yours, use it. Diappoint
ment will be realized-mortifying failure may
attend this effort and that one-but only be
honest and struggle on, and all will work well
AS an evidence of the harmonious and en-
thusiastic spirit which pervades the Democratic
ranks, we may state the fact, that so far as oul
knowledge extends, every Democratic paper
without exception, and every man calling him
self a democrat, whether classed heretofore as
"free soil" or "hunker," gives cordial and hear
ty support to the nominations of the Baltimore
Convention. The Democracy thus re-organi
zed and reunited, presents power and energy
which it has never before possessed since The
second election Of Jackson, in 1892.
