SPEAK TO THAT YOUTH.
BY ROBERT JOHNSON.

Speak to that youth the timely warning
May save him many years of pain;
Though he appears all counsel scOrning,
One gentle word may him restrain.
Check that young man-but do it mildly,
Nor pass him by with cold neglect
While now he seems to rush on wildly,
Thy voice may make himself respect.
Speak Kindly, sister, he's thy brother;
Throw round loves fetters when he'd roam
Thy voice, thy smile, so like none other,
May win the wayward to his home
Frown not, but smile, whene'er you meet him,
For sorrows cloud may dim his day;
Sweet words of Kindness when you greet him
Will cheer him Oh lifes gloomy way.
Speak to that youth with prospects blighted,
And soul debased with boarded store;
Thou parent art the cause he's sighted
And shouldst thou turn him from thy door
Stop that young man, thy friendship profler;
Let confidence his feet restrain;
Should he, in haste, reject thy offer,
Forsake him not but try again
Speak to that boy, ere sloth has given
Its giant power to chain his soul,
And ideness her car has driven
Beyond the power of mans control.
Teach him respect for good behavior,
Show him that vice engenders strife
And, most of all, make the worlds Savior
A pattern for his future life.
While here, keep trying-never falter;
Do good in every way you can;
For if you cannot wholly alter,
You may improve the state of man.

New POWER PREss.-The Worcester Tran
script, since its enlargement, has been printed
on new power press, of simple and ingenious
construction, lately invented in that city by DR..
Halves, one of the most competent of practical
mechanics. We cannot describe the modus OPP
erandi of the machine, so that our readers would
gain very Ineligible idea of its construction
but it prints two thousand an hour, is propelled
by one man, and cost about 5000. 1t takes one
person to feed it, delivers the paper itself, and
does not occupy as much room as an ordinary
handpress.

EARLY APPLICATION OF STEAM.

About $50 years B. c., Hero, of Alexandria
contemporary with Ctebiseus formed toy which
exhibited some of the powers of steam.
A. ID. 430-Anthemius, mathematician and
architect, employed by Justinian to embelish
Constantinople, in dispute about the walls OF
a house, was vanqushed by the eloquence OF Re-
no. To avenge the defeat, Anthemius arranged
several chauldrons of water, each covered with
the wide bottom of eathern tube, which rose
to narrow top, with pipes extended to the raft
ers of the adjoining building. A fire was kin
died beneath the chauldron; the steam of the
boiling water ascended through the tubes, and
the house was shaken by the efforts of the i'm
prisoned vapor. This is the first notice of the
power of steam, as recorded by Gibbon.
Stuart, in his wowk on the steam engine, says,
that the Royal Spanish archives record that
" "Blasco de Garay tried steamboat of 200 tons,
with tolerable success, before Charles ", at Bar
celona, June II, l543. Ravago, the chancellor,
opposed it and it was laid aside. 1t consisted of
a chauldron of boiling water and movable
wheel on each side of the ship" The expense
of the experiment was paid by the government,
and present made to Garay
The first railroad was constructed at Newcas-
tle-on-T Tyne, A. ID. 1861
The first idea of the steam engine in England,
was inthe Marquis of Worcesters History of
Inventions" A. ID. 1868.
Newcomer made the first steam engine in
England, l7l0.
Steam engines first applied by Savary for rails
ing ballast out of rivers, and for raising great
quantities of water. Patents granted in London
l7lS.
James Watt made the first perfect steam en-
gine in England, 1864.
First idea of steam navigation in England was
set forth in patent Of Jonathan Hulls, for ves-
sci to 60 against wind and tide, 1876. Thomas
Paine proposed this application in America, l777.
Marquis Jouffroy constructed one on the Saone,
1881. Two Americans published on it, 1885.
Wm Simington made voyage in one in 1889,
on the Forth and Clyde canal; in 1902 the ex-
pertinent was repeated.
In the meanwhile, John Fitch, of Philadelphia,
navigated boat by steam engine of his own
contrivance on the Delaware in 1887.
Ramsey propelled boat by steam at N. Y,
in October, 1882.
But it was Robert Fulton, native of Penn
sylvania, who first brought steam navigation to
such practical perfection, that it became success
full and generally used by all nations. AS ear
ly as 1893, he began to apply his attention to
the subject; soon after, he visited England and
France; examined Symington's vessel in Scot
land; in 1903, in conjunction with Mr.. Livings-
ton, the American minister in France, navigated
a boat by steam on the Seine-and succeeded in
perfecting steam navigation in 1907, when he
started the first permanently practical steamboat
the "Clermont," on the Hudson River, at New
York.
Oliver Evans, native of Philadelphia, con-
structed locomotive steam engine to travel on
a turnpike road, and invented several improve
ments in machinery.

Contracts have been made by the State En-
gineer for the removal of Castleton Bar, which
now obstructs the navigation of the Hudson, and
several dredging machines are to be set to work
Immediately. The Albany Argus says that it
will require the excavation of 10000 cubic yards
to open a channel 600 feet in width, and to give
eight feet depth of water. Another bar exists
near the Nine Mile Tree" about two miles
below Castleton, which will require the excava-
ton of about 10000 cubic yards. The con-
tracts have been made for l2cts per cubic yard.

PEACH WoRM.-Boiling water, says the Hor-
ticulturist, is most excellent application in the
spring of the year, for diseased and feeble peach
trees. and is a certain remedy for the peach
worm. A correspondent very effectually exclu-
ded the peach worm, by digging basin around
the foot of the trunk, forming cavity foot in
width and four inches deep, and then pouring
into this basin very thick whitewash made OF
fresh lime, and suffered to stand one day before
applying.

The Legislature of Massachusetts has pass
ed bill providing for three establishments for
paupers, to be located in different parts of the
State. To these establishments those foreign
ers will be sent who are unable to provide for
their own support. The object is to transfer
from towns to the Commonwealth the support
Of eHigrants who arrive in this country and
need to be provided for as paupers. A hospit-
al, connected with the same object, is to be es.
tablished on Rainsford Island, in Boston Harbor.

BENE PLANT--It is said that the bene plant
is sure cure for the summer complaint. Put
five full grown leaves in pint of cold water
bruise them and let them remain half an hour,
and the water will become as thick as jelly
Drink half pint at time, and frequently, till a
cure is effected. Sow the seeds in drills, inch
deep, and Is inches apart, first of May; and give
a good watering with boiling water Immediately
after sowing

Mosr ASTOUNDING FREAK OF NATURE.-The
Utica Observer of Saturday says, post mortem
examination was held by DR.. parkhurst, on the
body of the widow of Amos Eddy, in the town
of Frankfort, Herkimer county, aged II years,
and, to the utter astonishment of all present, a
full grown child was found, which she had car
red for the term of fforty-six years. 1t was en-
cased in sort of bony or cartilaginous struct-
ure, except one leg and foot, and one elbow,
which were almost entirely ossified.
The facts and circumstances of the above case
will be published at full length in the different
medical journals, as soon as DR.. p. finds leisure
to put together the hstory-of which he has ex-
tensive notes-that he has kept for the last
twelve years, as well as of her life before and
after marriage, which took place fifty-two years
apo.

name of an act which dspenses with, rather than
brings into exercise the energies of the mind
Mind, in the highest sense of this term, is the
ennobling characteristic Of man. The fisherman
or the mechanic possesses it in COMMON with
the philosopher. Like him, he thinks-he rea-
sons; he desires knowledge; and if this thirst for
knowledge be not gratified from the pure streams
of science, literature, and religion, it will seek
for its qualification in muddier waters" in
streams of false delight" for, as Sir Walter
