Couldn't be Choksd OF.

The Clinton Courant tells a story Of a rural
philosopher, who had somewhat advanced in
years without learning much of the mysteries
Of nature. What knowledge the old gentleman
had CLEANED was entirely independent of science.
He did not know whether q microscope was
"something new 70 eat or new tangled farm
ing machine" A young friend, fresh from
school, once paid him a visit, and was very anx-
ious TO enlighten the old man on the wonders Of
the microscope, a specimen Of which he carried
about him.
While the old philosopher was making fru-
gal meal in the field at noon, the youth produced
his microscope and explained its operation,
which he illustrated by exhibiting its pow er
upon several bugs and minute atoms of animated
matter on hand. To his surprise, the aged
pupil did not manifest much astonishment, and
stung by his Indifference, he detailed to him how
many scores of living creatures he devoured at
every mouthful and in each drop which queuched
his thirst. At this his hearer was sceptical; to
prove the fact, the boy snatched from his hand
a chunk OF rich cheese which he was then de.
vouring, and placing it under the magnifier, the
mass Of wriggling animalcule was triumphantly
pointed out.
The old man gazod upon the sight indiffer-
emily, and at length, with the utmost noncha-
lance, took another huge bite. Don't" ex-
claimed the boy, "don't eat it, Uncle Ben don
you see EN- See 'em squirm and wriggle"
"Lst 'Sm wriggle!" said the old philosopher,
away calmly, ''they've got the worst
ont; if they kin stan it kim" and he deliber-
ately finished his meal

Wanted &!
At this Office, TWO COMPOSITIONS.

The TEMPERANCE MEETING at the Baptist
Church, last night, was very interesting, and
became quite animated before its close. The
meeting was addressed by several gentlemen.
BY resolution the President was instructed to
appoint a committee Of five, whose duty it
should be to nominate candidates for Mayor,
Councilmen, and all other city officers. 1t was
understood that the names Of the committee
would be reported by the President at the meet
ing to be held next Tuesday night in the Second
Presbyterian Church. The report of the Com
mittee on nominations is to be made four weeks
hence. In the meantime it was resolved to hold
regular weekly meetings. DR.. d. T. Morton,
the President Of the Association, and Mr.. J. A..
Lennon were requested to address the Associa-
ton at its next meeting. The Association then
adjourned, to meet next Tuesday night at the
Second Presbyterian Church. In the early
part Of the evening, the following resolutions,
offered by Rev. Mr.. Phillips, were unanimously
adopted:
ReSolrSd, lSt. That this society is moro fully
and firmly persuaded than ever before, of the
necessity, magnitude and practicability of the
object contemplated in its original Organiza-
ton.
2. That the period has come when the most
active, combined and decisive measures are de-
manded, in order to secure the entire prohibit
ton, by salutary city ordinances, of the munufac
ture, ectifying and sale in every quantity as
beverage, Of ell descriptions Of intoxicating liz
quorS.
3. That this society publicly pledges its cor
dial and untiring cooperation with all temper
ance organizations, and the entire community
friendly to the cause, in unCsasing exertions to
procure, at the approaching city election, the
selection, TO fill tho various offices under the city
government, of such persons as will enact and
enforce in all their detail and rigor, such ordi-
nances as may be adapted to Danish the fell
demon Intemperance wholly from the commu-
nifty, and absolutely to inhibit, under adequate
penal sanctions, the manufacture, preparation
and sale, in every form and manner as beverage,
of every description of intoxicating liquors.
4. That this society earOestly invites and en-
treats the friends of temperance, good order,
and the continued and augmented prosperity of
the city, &c rally at the approaching city election
to the rescue of our entire population and city
from the crushing incubus of strong drink, by
placing in TIE various Offices and stations of trust
and influence among us, men wha will act on
this subject with firmness, fidelity, and entire
disregard to the frowns or smiles of those inter-
ested in the liquor business, and the perpetuity
Of the present license system, which has so long
proved the fearful and prolific fountain, here,
as everywhere, of bankruptcy, insanity, pau
psrism, Orphanage, debauchery, disease, crime,
misery and death.
5. That we recommend fOrbcarance, on the
part Of the friends Of the cause, from harsh.

THE CENTRAL PAcIFtc RAILwAY.-Col.
Benton has furnished the National Intslligencer
with letter from Mr.. H. Heap, connected viii
the Central Pacific Railway exploring partT
under Lieut.. Beale, in which he states that
through the entire line which the party had ex-
plored, comprehending fully half the distance
between the boundaries Of Missouri and Califor-
mia, and embracing, as it is said, the most diff.
cult portion of the line, the construction Of
road is not only practicable on an easy grade,
but the country is we'll watered and fertile, such
as 10 invite settlers and cultivatsrs throughout.

DEVELOPED LETTERs.-When letters are en-
closed in an enAelope, the address should be in
scribed as we'll on the letter itself as on the en-
veOpe; otherwise the loss Of the envelope may
cause grave mistakes and serious confusion-cr
may leave the letter for an anonymous claimant.

CorToN ROPEs FOR SHIPs.-There is a nov
city about the Sovereign of the Seas, that,
doubtless, will soon be initiated by other vessels
The ropes which form the running rigging are
of cotton, which we understand, is not only ca
pabe of tighter twist, but is not likely to be-
come deteriOrated as hempen cords. After they
have been in use, too, for years, they can be
sold for nearly as much as the original cost.
These ropes are quite as smooth, and run with
great rOpidity through the blocks. The sails
also of this vessel are of cotton, two sets of cot.
ton sails costing only the sum paid for one set
Of linen canvass.

AIR SpR1NGs.-Where will be the end Of
mechanical inventions and improvements? Who
will believe that railway car has been con-
Structe2 and proved, which rests upon air
springs? Mr.. Ellsworth states that Just before
leaving Washington, he signed patent for a
man who proposed to construct springs for cars
so that passengers should be able to read or
write without any inconvenience. "Of what do
you make your springs-iron" "No." "Of
woodP" mo" "What them" "Air." "How?'
Take q strong metallic cylinder, twelve inches
long, set it in perpendicular; force into this thir-
teen atmospheres, (that is, by the use of the
forcing air pump, make the air in the cylinder
thirteen times as dense or heavy as common
air. on the top of this put oil, and insert
pisten which shall fill the cylinder, and this
makes the spring. Mr.. Ellsworth rode in car
carrying eighty passengers, which is thus con-
structed, and it answers fully the expectations
and promises Of the patentee.- Buffalo Rough
