ANGELS WHISPER.

4 Angel Hhispersi will they never
Cease to tell of golden realms;
Isles Of beauty, smiling ever
In mystic sea Of dreams;
Lands OF flowers and gems Of spices,
And an atmosphere of love,
Where tho dark-eyed girls entice Us
In the fairy fields to roye.
Angei whisper, softly bringing
Prom beyond the star-lit skies;
Echos Of the sweet songs ringing
Through the valleys Of paradise;
Visions Of bright fountains gushing
Nectar, washing golden sands,
And the red wine rivers rushing
By the pearl and amber strands.
Loving spirits sent us,
Clothed in silent robes Of Hight,
And with scraph forces to WOO US
To the regions Of delight;
Z Voices of exquisite sweetness;
would clasp. your viewless forms,
But your wings of fairy heetness,
Still aliude my ont stretched arms.
Angel whispers gently stealing
Where the hush of death surrounds.
With their holy baln Of he4ling
For bruised spirits wounds;
Breathing delightful story
or bright Immortality.
And land of love and glory,
Far beyond HES troubled sea.

The CalOric Engine.

The following is from the N. Y. Herald's ac-
count of this noval invention:
The great idea which had for more than twenty
years been ripening in the brain of the inventor,
but which from the incredulty and opposition he
encountered among men of capital in his own
native country, in England, and in America, he
had been unable to realize has thus been substan-
tiated as real entity. 1t was fortunate for Cap
tain Ericsson and for the world, that one of our
own enterprising merchants, John B. Kitching,
Esq, who appreciated and relied on his talent and
genius, determined at all risk to enable him to
make the experiment on scale worthy of the
magnitude of the ISSUE For this purpose the
latter furnished half of the capital necessary for
the enterprise, and disposed among his acquaint-
ances of the remainder of the stock. By this
means and regardless of expense, the clipper ship
whose first performance we have recorded, was
built at the yard of Perrine, Patterson & Stack,
and fitted up with enginery on the caloric prn-
ciple under the immediate direction and super
vision of Capt. Ericsson The vessel measures
26O feet in length of deck, and 40 feet in breadth
of beam her depth of hold is 81 feet and her bur-
then 2,2O0 tens. Like the Arabia, of the Gu
nard line, she has but two masts, and like our
swiftest clippers, she is extremely sharp in the
PROV. She has no figure head Her stern pre-
sents the device of two figures, alegorical repre-
sentations of the United States and Great Brit
ian placing wreath around the brow of the in
ventor. She had been originally named the Cal
oric, but in compliment to the genius who planned
L H. fbo Er1ce
This was considered by Captain Ericsson high
tribute to himself, but the hattering device which
was placed upon the stern without his knowledge,
overwhelmed him with emotion, and we are told
that when he first saw it, he wept like child!
The Ericsson presents very handsome and uni
que appearance, from the four white tunnels which
rise some ten or twenty feet over the promenade
deck, and which somewhat resemble Ionic pillers
without the capital. They are thirty inches in
diameter, and are supported by octagon pedestals,
also white Two of these columes, or pipes,
carry off the air from the engine, and the Other
two serve as chmneys. On their tops they are
ornamented with gilt rings and mouldings. En-
terng the spar deck the absence of any crank
hatches, and clear deck for two hundred feet on
each side of the deck house, attract the eye
The berth deck likewise presents an unbroken
line, with state rooms along the entire ship and
passages between the fore and aft saloons on both
sides.
As model of naval architecture there is not .
vessel in our splendid merchant marine that can
compete with the Ericsson for graceful propor-
tions and symmetry of build. AIlwho have seen
her. concur in the expression of admiration of this
beautiful ship, and in their opinion of her super
ior sailing qualities, independent of any aid from
her machinery.

How TO ALWAYS BE PooK.-If man buys
two glasses of ale day, costing at leastfv cents
each, it amounts in year to thirty six dollars
and fifty cents. If he smokes cigar after each
meal, costing three cents each, it amounts in the
same time to thirty-two dollars and etghty-fye
cents. His chewing tobacco in the meantime,
will cost him, if he uses five-cent plug in two
days, nine dollars and fifteen cents. These three
little extravagances, will amount in year to
seventy-eight dollars and forty-6ve cents; or
enough to buy, at the average prices, five barrels
of flour, twelve bushels of corn meal, one hundred
pounds of butter, four hundred pounds Of pork,
two hundred pounds of beef, ten cords wood and
newspaper. Think of this, and then wonder no
longer that you never grow rich, and perhaps are
in want of many of the necessaries and comforts
of life. IS
