DRAW BRIDGES.

An improvement in draw bridges for rail
roads and other purposes has been made by Fl.
B. Perry of Bridgeport, Conn.,, which consists
IN making the bridge double,of hollow ellipse,
with basin of water between the two parts to
contain vessel, each having a swing or draw.
and so arranged that when one is open the 9TH
er is closed The ends of the draws are provi
ded with metallic arms, which in operating or
closing the draws, operate switch levers at the
ends of the bridge, which move the switches of
the rail track, whereby an advancing train is
always made to pass on the track which runs
along the closed draw. This will prevent trains
from running into the water of ri yer crossings.
because the draw of the track on which the
train is running will never be left open.-Tsci.

Death.

at is appointed unto man once to die
Death is as natural and as necessary as sleep,
and to the pure in heart it has no terrors. Sin
is the sting Of death. To cease to sin is to dis
arm death of its sting and the grave Of its vic
tory. Where there is sin there is fear; perfect
love casteth out all fear; 10 be perfect in love,
wo must cease to sin, and live with concience
void of offence.
Death has always been, and is yet b. many.
looked upon as the annihilator of existeneel-
Away with such doleful melancholy, cease to
sin against thu tight rithin--live with clear
concience-look upon death as being only a
ministering angel sent from above to unlock
the door of Jour earthly habitation and set the
immortal spirit free into the bliSsfu regions Of
eternal and Qnfading beauty. Teach your chill
bren that it is as necessary for the worn out
body to die, as it is to sleep; let them under
stand that if their hearts are pure they have
nothing to fear. If you change your dress at
the loss of friends, change it to ,chite-the en-
blen of purity and peace. Plant flowers around
the graves of your friends, and make tie spot
beautiful and pleasant, and learn to live in har
mony and love. five wish 10 prepare for death
we should prepare for life-we should live well
now. This is all the real preparation we can
make and five do this, if we fulfill all the du
ties of life as we pass along from day to day, we
shall be prepared for all .events, for death ITSELF
when our time arrives. But observation teach
es me that very few people ever die natural
death, because very few ever live a simple and
natural life.
The natural duration of human life in my
opinion is much greater than the average, but
alasl the sublime system of civilization we live
under, carries off the whole population at about
an average Of 80 years. What fearful distruc-
ton of human life!
In the process of death we have the opposite
of development, viz: first, the generative func-
tons fail; next the animal; and thirdly, the or
ganic; and finally, in the act of death, the whole
system of animal life-of passion, thought, land
sensation, dies before the organic system.
Natural death, which is the radual decay of
the vital organs, is pleasant, painless, exh lara
ting,and delightful; especially after a well spent
life: when the brains have lost their power to
fael-Vhen- a--ehoss,e,r.5,-'rHtIU rttfr the
agories of death, are only the Unconscious and
PAINLESS struggles of the organic Str'-0t"re to
1;o,,,,oc,a tl,.i---.srn spirit, which is then as
Isil and serene as the morning sun--re-
Joicing in its transit to world of light and

perfect and endless bliss. GUMProY C UTE.

Welcome lis pleasant rains, after the dusty
drouth of the harvest month, that has almost
threatened US with famine year. Welcome

Welcome its long evenings though cossing the
sacrifice of early morning labor and early morn

straw-sucked sweets. True, the song of the
singing birds is waited on our ears by southern
blast, and daily grows fainter and feebler.-
true the leaves are chasing one another through
the air, dancing in every eddy and racing on
every path,-but were it not for its pleasures
and its pains, whence would its sister Seasons.
and the fair Hours that rule the Spring, derive
their charms? We love them all.
Like some richly illuminated manuscript of
clustered art, the wonder book of Nature is
spreading out its autumn pages in all their won
ted briliiancy of mingled coloring; every noun
tain is a swelling mound of jewelled lustre,and
every vale and clump of woodland a blending
OF rich rainbow tints, over which bright sun
warme haze is spread, just as the old missal
painters used to canopy the heads of saints and
apostles with halo of golden light. The
hoar-frost covers the meadows in the early
morning, and lies in crisp sparkling wreathes
upon the fences and barn roofs, while overhead
sky of the deepest blue is beginning to soften
under the sunshine. Not leaf quivers, and
the pale cottage smoke curls up in a straight
unwavering column through the frosty air,while
cloudletS of mist rest lingeringly on the lake,
or creep lazily up the hillsides.
There is exhiaration in the air. and new
life in the wind that comes careering from the
northwest, bearing frost on its wings and briuht.

What Constitutes a state.

What constitutes state?
Not high raisd battIements or labor'd mound,
Thick wall or moated gate;
Not cities proud.w with spires and turreis crownd;
Not bays and broad-armed hosts,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich Navies ride;
Not star'd and sprangled courts,
Where low-bow'd baseness watts perfume to
pride.
No:-men high-minded men,
With power as far above dull brutes endued
In forest, wake, or den,
As beasts excel cold rocks and hamlets oe;
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights, and, knowing dare main
tain,
Prevent the long aim'd blow;
And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain;
These constitute a state.

There is word of plural number,
A foe to peace and human slumber;
Now any word you chance to take,
By adding S, you plural make;
But if you add an S to this,
How strange the metamorphosisl
Plural is plural then no more
And sweet, what bitter was before.
