The Other Side.

Our accounts of the Ericsson engine have all
been favorable. But the Scientific American de-
clines endorsing the hattering encomiums OF the
New York press, and says:
eve do not believe it will supersede steam, or
that is in every respect superior to it, as stated
in those resolutions. If it is superior to steam In
everv respect, it has not been so demonstrated to
our satisfaction, and we cannot be convinced to the
contrary against our will and reason.
The Caloric Ship Ericsson is miracle OF faith and
enterprise Their energy and spirit deserve sue
cess and the praise of the whole world.
After it has made few voyages across the Allan
tic. we will have some data upon which to form a
correct iudgment--for as yet it has not done SO
we'll as Robert Fultons first boat, which, with Its
clumsy shape and bad machinery, made seven
miles an hour. The Caloric Ship has new and
very excellent features about it. The designer
and constructors of the machinery have shown
themselves to have long heads and skilfui hands
We have never seen anything to compare with the
castings. It is safe and comfortable, we believe
for passengers, and it saves the hrenen from tn'
pandemonium of our steamships. The Galore
Engine, as saver of fuel, is chiefly valuable TO
steamships; but if it merely saves fuel while 1t i
sluggish in its motion, we could do that withou
usi1S any fuel at all. Speed and economy of fue
must 90 hand in hand to command success l
these two elements cannot be combined the latte
in this age of lightning speed, must be sacrihce'
to the former"

It's not always convenient for printers to purchase
years supply during the boating season, and if the!
are they lie out of the OF the money. If they cal
ret it in small lots at wholesale prces,t is better

There's chastened spirit that folds its wings,
Musing tween earth and holy things;
Still gliding on in its noiseless fight,
Like the snow thro' the clouds Of winters night
IT'S the spirit of age.
There's passonless eye, that looks above,
With ray of faith, and tear of love;
That regards the stars, as they nightly glow,
AS the home of some friend who was once below
IT'S the eye of age.
There's faded lip, that but family smiles,
And with tales of bygone years beguiles
The laughing child; and with holy kiss
Mingles prayer for its future bliss.
IT'S the lip of age.
There's a withered hand, that in youth was wed
To its kindred hand-but that hand is dead;
And the withered hand, tho it gave and lend,
Now wants the aid of some kindly friend.
IT'S the hand of age
But the chastened spirit, which folds its wings,
Will take its flight anon where the seraph sings,
And the passonless eye, with its tear of love,
Will behold all it lost in the realms above.
Then farewell, age!

LATE AND IMPoRTENT FROM BUESos AYREs.-
BosroN, Feb. 2d-Private advices from Buenos
Ayres to the 23d of December representing gloo-
my condition of political affairs. The upper prov
inces were in confusion. Urquiza had crossed the
River Parana with his artillery, disposed the Gov
ernor of Santa Fe, and established Gen. Galan in
his place. The Buenos Ayrean Government were
collecting large force at St. Nicolas, and had also
sent 1000 troops to Rio to stir up revolution
against Urquiza. A division of Buenos Ayres
troops landed at Gulaquaycha on the 18th. sur
prised the guard, and captured the town, the in
habitants fraternizing with them. This force was
said to be on theirway to Sante Feto interfere with
the Ma ional congress, which meets there on the
Goth.
Produce of all kinds was scarce and high. Doub-
looms $17 So
Advices from Fayalto Decembe goth state that
two earthquakes had occurred, which, however,
did little damage.

VULGAR WoRDs.-There is as much connection
between the words and the thoughts there is be-
tween the thoughts and the words; the latter are
only the expression of the former, but they have
power to react upon the soul and leave the stain Of
corruption there. A young man who allows him
self to one profane or vulgar word has not only
shown that there is foul spot on his mind but by
the utterance of that word no extends that spot
and inflames it, till by indulgence it will soon pol
words, well as your thoughts If you can con-
troll the tongue, that no improper words are pro-
nounced by it, you will soon be able to CONTROL
the mind snd save it from corruption. You ex
tinguish the fire by smot!ering it, or prevent bad
thoughts bursting out in language. Never uttel
a word anywhere which you would be ashamed tc
speak in the presence of the most religious man.
Try this practice little, and you will soon have
command of your self.

hold circle. the troubled heart finds consolation
the disturbed finds rest, the joyous finds itself in
its true element ,pious souls, when they speak Of

Heaven is to them home-sickness Jesus also
represents the abode of eternal happiness,
under the picture of home and fathers house
Does not this tell that earthly home is appointed
to be the picture of haven, and fortaste of tha
brighter, higher home?
