Beautiful Fgure-Two painters be-
ing employed to fresco the walls of a
magnificent cathedral. both stood on a
rude sciffolding constructed for the
purpose, some forty feet from the floor.
One of them was so intent upon his
work that he became wholly absorbed,
and in admiration stood off from the
picture gazing at it with delight. For
getting where he was, he moved back
wards slowly, surveying critically the
work of his pencil, until he had neared
the very edge of the plank upon which
he stood. At this critical moment his
companion turned Suddenly and, almost
froZenwith horror. beheId his immiaent
peril, Another instant and the euthu-
siast would be precipitated upon the
paves-a .benl;.th. # he spoke 10 him
it was certain death, if he kept his
peace death was equally sure. Sud-
denly he regained his presence OF mind,
and seiziug wet brush, flung 1t against
the wall, scattering the beautiful pic
ture with unsightly blotches of coloring.
The painter flew forward, and turned
upon his friend with fierce imprecation.
but, startled at his ghastly face, he lis
tened to the recital of danger, looked
shudderingly over the dread space be-
low, and with tears of gratitude blessed
the hand that saved him.
So, said a preacher, we sometimes
get absorbed in looking upon the pic
lures of this world. and in contempla-
ting them, step backward, unconscious
of our peril, when the Almighty dashes
out the beautiful images, and we spring
forward, TO lament their destruction,
into the outstretched arms of mercy,
and are saved.

Energy.-We love your upright, en-
ergetic men. Pull them this way and
that way and the other and they will
only bend, but never break. Trip them
down, and in trice they are on their
feet Bury them in the mud, and in an
hour they will be out and bright. They
are not ever yawning away existence,
OF walking about the world as if they
had come into ii with only half a soul
you cannot keep them down, you can
not destroy them. But for these the
world would soon degenerate. They
are the salt of the earth Who bot
they start any noble projeet2 They
build our cities, and rear our manufac-
tories. They whiten the ocean with
their sails, and they bIacken the clouds
with the smoke of steam vessels and
furnace fires.

Another InUention.-The Scientific
American states that C. B. Hutchinson.
of Waterloo, N. Y, has invented and
taken measures to secure patent for
most valuable improvement on railroad
bridges for navigable waters. The OBJ
ject of the invention is TO have bridge
perfectly open and free at all times for
vessels to pass except the few minutes
required for train passing over, and to
carry over trains expeditiously and
safely. A certain number of piers or
abutments are built in the river, with
spaces between them for the passage
of vessels. Instead of having station
ary platform or roadway extending
across on the piers, he employs flying
or running platform, which carries the
train, spanning and springIng over the
successive spaces between the piers,
from one side to the other. There are
tracks of rails on all the piers, and on
all the flying platform there are wheels
to run on the tracks, like long rail-
road car. The length of the flying
platform is in proportion to the width of
the spaces between the abutments, so
that it will be impossible to overbalance
it while springing over from one pier to
the other like sliding "draw." The
flying platform is stationary at one side
or the other when train is not passing.
1t is to be propelled across by having
stationary power on itself, or to have it
so constructed that the locomotive of a
train may propel it across. 1t may be
called "a flying railroad bridge"

Activity an the Liquor Balsiness.-The
busiest men in Boston at the present
time are thoseWho enjoy the reputation
of selling good liquor. Orders, from
families resident in the country towns
come in to an unparalleled extent
Those who have been accustomed to
send each year for a few gallons of
choice spirits, now order supply suffi-
cient for many years. The newly ap-
pointed agents under the liquor law
have some of them made large pnr-
chases within the past week From
the quantities ordered by many towns
we infer much sickness is expected
this fall. One agent bought $500
worth of liquor of one firm in this city.
This is quite new field for municipal
speculation. We trust this word, specu-
lation, will not have to be spelled with
out the first letter when the annual ac-
counts of the town trade are made up.

Negroes in the Vest Indles.-The fol-
lowing extract from the popular work
:" Five Years in the West Indies" gives
a true insight into the character of the
Negro race:
The negroes are a million-fold better
off than any other peasantry on the
face of the earth. 1t is they who now
dictate to the whites. Every negro
considers himself a gentleman. Of
course from the lazinesS of the negroes
in the towns there is a good deal of
pnuarty T'h- ~ .L:--- t,>'iIuJ JS, Itfdt
keeps the West Indies 10 US is the dread
which the negroes have of coming
under the dominion of the Americans.
Jonathan is certainly the man to bring
them back 10 their senses, which they
have quite lost since they have been
taught by the Exeter Hall philanthro-
pists that they are equal TO the white
men, while cur folly in permitting them
to purchase lands for nominal price
and become independent Of labor has
made the evil irremediable. Six weeks
labor will at any time enable negro
to purchase land enough for his wants,
ten dollars will erect his house, and
there he is ready TO laugh at labor
Nay, he usually obtains land on credit,
and as the law is a nullity in the West
India islands, he either evades the pay
ment altogether, or takes couple of
years to accomplish it.

The Unity Of the Human Racs.-Bay-
ard Taylor, in his last letter from Nubia,
gives US the following, speaking of the
ancestral hall of Karnak:
The sculptures on the walls of the
grand hall are, after those of Medeemet
Abou and on the exterior wall of Kar-
max, the most interesting | have seen
in Egypt On the end wall, on either
side of the entrance, is colossal bas-
relief, representing Remeses Staying a
group Of captive kings, whom he holds
by the hair of their heads. There are
ten or twelve in each group, and the
features, though they are not colored
exhibit the same distinction of race as
[ had previously remarked in Belzoni'S
tomb at Thebes. There is the Negro,
the Persian, the Jew, aud one other
form of countenance which I could not
make out-all imploring with uplifted
hands the mercy of the conqueror.
On the southern wall the distinction
between the Negro and the Egyptian
is made still more obvious by the color
ing of the figures. In fact | see no
reason whatever to doubt that. the Pc
culiar characteristics of the different
races of men were as strongly marked
in the days of RemeseS as at present.
This is an interesting fact in discussing
the question of the unity of the origin
of the race. have as yet, though
deeply interested in the subject, not
looked into it sufficiently to take either
side but, admitting the different races
of men to have had originally one ori-
gin, the date of the first appearance of
man on the earth must have been
nearer fifty thousand than FIVE thousand
years ago. If climate. customs and the
like have been the only agents in pro-
ducing that variety of race which we
find so strongly marked nearly four
thousand years ago, surely those agents
must have been at work for a vastly
longer period than that usually accept
ed as the age of man. We are older
than we know, bat our beginning, like
our end, is darkness and mystery.
