WATER.

There is no substance in the universe OF so much
consequence 10 the animal economy as this element
constitutes not only two thirds Of the eafths sur
face. but the same amount of weight of all organ
ICED being. When weRrelect how largely i enters

are astounaed lhatso lftHe thought is takento sup
ply that which is pure, wholesome, and nneontara-
mated By substances which render it almost unfit
for use.
We are led ID these remarks from noticing a
great improvement, lately patented, which we re-
gard as one of the best inventions for obtaining
Wafer in its pure state, that We have ever seen
The objections 70 The common log pump are nu-
merousnot ony their liability to get out OF order
so frequently a they do but the bad effect which
they have upon the water, soaking and moulding
in the we'll until they become putrid; almost like
animal substances Many are substituting lead
pipe, which of an other substances for water to
come in contactwiih, nothing can be so Injurious
engenderins asst does in slow way, the most
alarming diseases.
The apparatus which we alude 10 is called
Woods Gntta Percha Pump, one OF which can be
seen in successful operation al Powells corner and
at other places in town. We advise those who
wish something to draw Water free from all the
objections raised against all others, to take look

A QUEER KIND OF REVENGE.

There were two boys in the same class at
school, who were, 50 far as scholarship was
concerned, pretty nearly matched We will
call one Of the boys Thomas and the other
Isaac Thomas gosto the head of the class,
For some reason or ether, Thomas got,angry
with Isaaesand kicked him harshly and Sc
verely. At first the injured boy thought
ho would Strike back : but he checked his
angry feelings, and hitEupon another plan Of
revenge " / viii study as hard as. | can, y
thought no, !" aud get at the head of my class
and keep there, and look down on Thomas,
and punish him in that way SO he ap-
piled himself so closely to study, that he
not only got ahead Of the boy who had inju-
red him, but of tho whole school And this
is not the whole Glory He became in after
Wears, ono Of the greatest scholars that the
world ever saw. Reader, it was Isaac New.
