WHEN STARS ARE IN THE QUIET SKIES"

WHEN STARS ARE IN THE QUIET SKIES
By L. rt-Lvrg.
When stars are in the quiet skies,
Then most pine for thee;
BEND on me then thy tender eyes,
As stars look on the sea.
For thoughts. lii. wave. that glide by night,
Are stillest when they shine,
Nine earthly love lies hush In light
Beneath the heaven of thine.
There Is an hour when angels keep
Familiar watch DER men,
When coarser souls are wrapped in sleep
Swrc: spirit meet me then.
There Is an hour when holy DRAINS
Through slunh-r fairest glide,
And in that mystic hour it seems
Thou shoulJst b. by my side.
The thoughts of thee too sacred are
For daylght'e common beam;
i can but know the. my star,
My angel and my dream!
When stars are in the buet skies,
Then most pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes,
As stars look ou the Sea.

WILLIAM NORRIS of Philadelphia, one
of the most eminent mechanical engineers
of the country and of the world, is now
building a steamship, to be ready for sea
in February next, which is warranted to
cross the ocean in SIC days, and that with
greater security against accident than in
the steamers now in use. Several new
features are introduced in the model. The
vessel will be unusually flat-bottomed, and
with length of 225 fec, and steam power
five times that of the Gu nard line, draws
but 90 feet of water.

discovery, so far as regards transferring

des;aeratum remaining is an aid in reduc-
ing the time required for making pictures
from thirty minutes to, II possible, less
than as many seconds A similar dlfhcui-
~, but not SO serious, occurred IN the
bringing out Of the Daguerrean discovery
Iodine, &c, were found to answer 'ne pur-
pose for the latter, but Mr.. Hill has 10
deal with many colors, and a chemical
that serves with one may spoil or prove
useless with another. The "stick Is now
on the yellow. Mr.. H. may discover the
necessary accelerator of this color in one
week or six months, but until he does hnd
it, he will not be coaxed out, driven out,
or smoked out. When the Hillotype
comes before the public it will be full
grown invention, ready to be made avail
able to the fullest extent, as fixed fact.

e1rorted thence in enormous quantities
There also is reaped great part of all the

LEWISBURG, UNION COUNTY, PENN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBE

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.-A few days
since two boys, belonging to Robert A.
Mayo, of Powhattan, about one mile be-
low Richmond, were drowned in James
river. The Southern Era states that they
came to their death in the following sin
gular manner:
"They had taken a dog down to the
river with the intention of drowning him.
When they reached the water, one of The
twain went into it with the animal, and
to drown him more cffectually, got upon
his back. The dog attempted to escape
from the hands eff the boy, and while do
ing SO dog and boy got deeper into the
water, where the dog got away, leaving
his murderer to his fate. The other ne
gro on the bank, seeing his comrade about
to drown, plunged in to his assistance, and
vainly essayed to rescue him They both
perished by drowning, while the brute safe
ly reached the shore, and went back to the
house. Such an incident we do not re-
member to have heard or read"
The BEDFORD VALLEY SNAKE-Two
Of our citizens have visited the spot where
this huge serpent was seen, with view of
capturing the monster. They were unsuc-
cessful, but received abundant assurances
of his actual existence. They saw and
examined the skin he had shed, and found
1T fully tuenty-one .fcet sac inches long.
They also saw and conversed with Mr..
John Elder, most reliable citizen, who
had met the animal face to face. Mr.. f.
encountered him in a lane, across which
he was lying, with his tail in one meadow
and his head near the second fence. From
his dusty brown color, Mr.. Z. mistook him
for the ridge pole of the fence, until his
horse started back with fright, VIXEN the
serpent reared up the full height of the
rider, and darted fire from hi. eyes. The
horse instantly whirled and dashed off in
alarm, and by the time he could be brought
back to the spot, the snake had disappear
ed in the high grass. Mr.. Elder thinks
he is between 20 and so feet long. Bar
mum may get him yet.-Cun,j. Journal.
A MIGRATORY PEoPLE-A table Of
the last census shows where inhabitants
Of the different States were born. 1t is
curious to see how migratory a people we
are Vermont shows herself a regular
hive. She not only has mainly stocked
her own towns, but has been constantly
sending off swarms to other States. Of
the 3l4, 120 persons residing in the State
when the census was taken, $50, 1866 were
American born, and Of these 232 ,0S6 were
born in the State But besides these
there were in other States nearly 1iG 900
persons born in Vermont, she having re-
coived from them not quite $4,000, of
whom 81 SOS came from New Hampshire
and Massachusetts. About 10000 born
in Vermont have gone to those two States
Most of the rest have gone to New York,
Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Not ma
ny have gone into the Southern part Of

A new mode of illumination has been
devised by NJ. Alexis Godillot of Pans.
The principle is, the multiplication of
light By means Of iunumerable small mir
rors arranged in particular manner in
multitude of frames bound together, the
whole made to revolve while rejecting the
light from bright burner placed before
them. The rejecting power is so great
that, it is said sufficient light is furnished
to enable man to read at the distance Of
a kilomctre-about two thirds of mile.
