INVENTION.

The Scientific American, referring ia
some recent prices offered for mechanical
discoveries, makes the following appropri
ate remarks: i.ra., as......,
The works of God, the Great Creator
the Divine Architect and Mechanic, are
alone perfect. The human frame, thai
machine Of machines, is no more ,perfec,
to-day than when it sprung, bounding with
life and beauty, from the inanimate dust
of Paradise. This we cannot say of the
works of man; the real perfect must ever
be before US. When we look behind and
see what progress man has made in inven-
ton, and then compare what he has done
with the works of Nature, we always find
more, imperfections in the latter. 1t is,
true, indeed, in respect to the mechanic
arts, thai the present state of them may
be called perfection in comparison with
the state in which they were century ago,
but this should not damp the ardor Of the
ingenious machine. ,,. Az .s..e ~. s
There is still plenty Of room for lnven.
zion and improvement; yea, and it will ever
be so; with every new achievement. new
wants will spring up; and. to provide for
these. the inventor will sill have to exer-
else his genius. and the mechanic. his cul.
tivated skill. We can go on towards per.
fection, but can never reach it; and the
more perfect the arts become, even after
many ages will have passed away, still,
something will always be wanting to com.
plete the picture. With all our perfection
in the arts. more new inventions are de.
manded to-day than ever there were at
any period of the worlds history; and the
mechanic who may be living hundred
years hence will have the same story 10
tell.
Here we have prizes offered for five new
improvements, relating TO railroads alone,
and when We consider that it is only TWEEN.
ty years since the first scream of the 10.
comotive was heard in our land-that not
single iron horse was seen painting along
the iron track in the United States at that
time. and that now his iron hoofs are
heard laundering through the heart of the
Green Mountains, over the Hudson, down
the slopes of the Alleghenys, and along
the banks of the Mississippi, well may We
hold up that man to ridicule who even
hints at limitation to new inventions and
discoveries. In twenty years, we have
built track of twelve thousand miles long
for the iron steed-what race course!
In few years more he will commence his
race wet with the spray Of the Atlantic,
and will not slack his iron nerves till he has
snuffed the breezes Of the Pacific. lnven.
tors of America! the progress Of inven..
tion in your land is entrusted to your
keeping. ~ .---.- -.

from the garden Of Eden. If am cor.
rect in this opinion, he must by this time
be very far advanced in life, and we should
naturally expect to witness in him all the
evidences Of feeble old age-grey hairs,
sunken eyes and palsied limbs. But he
is really as strong and active. as fresh and
fair, as hale and hearty. as he ever was.
Remarkable old creature! .
His Education.--Mr. Theysay's edu.
cation is very limited. What knowledge
he has obtained is principally from hear
say; hence he does not have any correct
knowledge ofanything. His deficien, edu.
cation has ever been serious embarrass.
ment to him, for he never dares to make a
positive assertion, but guesses it is SO,
and so. tla
His Personal Appearance.-I have
spoken of him as being as strong. as &C.
tive, etc., as he ever was. In my opin.
ion he is as intangible as Professor
Bush's resurrection body, which we can
neither see, handle. analyze, nor describe.
But we know he exists, because everybody
is talking about him. And have came
10 the paradoxcsl conclusion that he ex.
lists and does not exist: is everywhere and
no where; is responsible and irresponsible;
sort of''wil. .o'-the- e-wisp Jack -with.the.lan-
tern" kind Of being. whose personal ap.
pearance can never be described.
His Characteristic is distinguished for
wickedness.
!. He is slanderer.
2. A deceiver. " .''
3. liar.
4. A peace.breaker.
S. Everything that is bad without one
possessing redeeming quality.
Reader, is MIR. Theysay in your family?
Drive him hence. Horbor him not mo.
ment. Listen not to his vile SANDERS
He will involve you in trouble, while he
will escape.
Christian brother, has he visited your
little religious community? Beware Of
him. He will cause "divsion to spring up
among you" Let him influence you, and
your once prosperous society will be des.
troyed. H.9t Ef sf 'ao e@a}

MUCH WISDOM IN LITTLE.

In Hunts Merchanis' Magazine we find
great deal of practical good sense, bu
the following advice TO young men is par.
ticularly excellent:
"Keep good company or none. Never
be idle. If your hands cannot be uselully
employed, attend to the cultivation Of your
mind. Always speak the truth. Make
few promises. Live up to your engage.
ments. Keep your own secrets, it you
have any. When you speak to person.
look him in the face. Good company and
good conversation are the very sinews Of
virtue. Good characteri is above all things
else. Your character cannot be essen
TALLY injured except by your own acts. II
any one speaks evil of you, let your life
be so that none will believe him. Drink
no kind of intoxicating liquors. Ever live,
misfortune excepted, within your income.
When you retire TO bed, think over what
you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich if you would
prosper. Small and steady gains give
competency with tranquility of mind.
Never play at any kind Of game of chance.
Avoid temptation. through fear you may
not Withstand it.. Earn money before you
spend it Never run in debt unless you
see way TO get out again. Never bor-
row if you can possibly avoidit., Do not
marry until you are able 70 support wife.
Never speak evil Of any one. Bejust be-
fore you are generous. Keep yourselfin-
,nocent, if you would be happy, Save
when you are young 10 spend when you
are DID," aa.,.

OHIO DEAF AND DUMB ASYLUM.

We have received the 25th Annual Ks.
port Of the Trustees and Superintendent 81
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. H. N. Hub
bsll. ESQ.,, after connection Of IS year,
with the Institution. as lis Superintendent.
has resigned. and the Trustees have ap.
pointed Rev. J. Anderson Cary in his place.
Mr.. C. was for l9 years an instructor in
the New York Asylum. ..a.
Tie Rsport says the experiences Of the
past past three months affords abundant
promise Of tho continued and increasing
success of the Institution in accomplishing
its great and good work, and in meeting
all reasonable expectations Of the commit
nitv.
The expenses Of the year appear e
have been $I3.33l 81. An appropriations
is asked for the next two ysars Of $50 600.
So far as it relates to the Deaf snf
Dumb Of this State. il is recommended
that there be no distnction-ihat they. alF
be admitted FREE. This would correspond
with our system Of FREQ schools. and no
doubt would give general satisfaction.
The number Of pupils in the institution
is l3a-7 72 males and so 0femalss. Num-.
her in attendance during the year, 1877.
No effort. Of late wears. has been made to
increase the nuAber Of pupils. in conse-
quence Of the crowded state Of the apart.
ments. An enlargement Of the rooms and
building is recommended. .''h'
The Superintendent throws out some
suggestions in regard TO the sale Of the
present institution and the purchase Of 1,
farm. that the pupils might be employed in
agricultural pursuits. He does not recon.
mend it. A certain day or days OF tho.
week for the reception Of visitors, Is sug-
gested, 10 avoid the possibility Of the pu.-
pills being interrupted every day. i2's - 7.
The building Of workshops is strongly,
urged. that tho inmates may acquire 8
knowledge of the mechanic arts N 81. 81.
This system OF instruction is highly spo.e
ken Of. and has proved very successful.
The term of instruction may be extended
to seven years, and il is thought important
that parents should not send their children
for less time. ''''' E, ~ y.
The health Of the pupils has been sx.
tremely good-not single death having
occurred, at home or abroad. s,f'
By the report we learn that the third
Convention Of the American lnsiructorssf

will be there from the Eastern cities. Tbs
