her daughter to n printer; there were already

she was not certain the country would support
them. 1t was plain young Franklin would de-

MOONLIGHT NIGHTs--How charming are

they must be to the ardent SWANS OF our city,
Of Livery commodities, bewitching objects, ice

all that sort of thing. But speaking of seren-
AIDES, how perfectly charming it is to be walked
from ones sleep by the s,ceet and harmonious
strains Of an orchestra of eats! Last night
while we were snoozng soundly, and sweetly
dreaming Of the ways and means Of obtaining
an excruciating funny item, we were aroused
from our slumbcrs by the most charming Duet
ever poured forth from brace OF feline throats.
We threw open the shutters, and with patent
leather in each hand, we prepared ourselves to
execute the finale. Their catships were perch
ed upon the gable end Of woodshed and We
were passably good at taking notes, and being
DESTROYS, wihal of obtaining an item, we took
down the following for the benefit of those who
never experienced the delights of serenade

Ough wough, ough yough waigh!

Oh come my love- while luna bright,
With silver robes lumes the night.
Come let us HE away my dear,
For danger turks around us here.

Talk not to me of danger here
Why bless you love, there's naught to fear,
And I'm resolved that here I'll stay,
And chant this lovely night away.
At this juncture-not liking her decision
we let slip both boots and the next we heard
from our fair serenaders, was such n confused
mess of spaughn and sputtering that we were
unable to make any note of it; we had knocked
them both in rain barrel! [Syracuse Star.

SMALLEST STEAM ENGINE IN THE WORLD
Mr.. Benjamin J. Warner, the London watch
manufacturers, has sent to this country, for exli-
btion at the Worlds Fair, the working models
of two steam engines. We infer from notices
of them in some of the London Papers, that
they will be the most curious specimens of mi
mute Workmanship exhibited in the Crystal Pal
ace. The smallest one, an osclating cylinder
engine stands upon an English fourpenny piece,
(size of half dime) with room TO spare! The
cylinder is but one-sixth Of an inch in diameter,
the length Of thesstroke three-eghts, and diam
eer of the piston is that of an ordinary needle.
The other is a beam engine, composed Of more
than two hundred pieces. The length of the
stand is three and quarter inches, diameter of
cylinder three Fights of an inch, and the length
of The stroke seven-eights of an inch. Both of
these engines are screwed together with the
deicacy and precision of watch. Eve. Post.
