A NEW INvENT1oN.-It is stated that
a resident of Fredonia, N. Y, has invent
ed curious apparatus for supplying loco
motives with water. According to the
new plan, cistern must be constructed
beneath the track, having connected with
it force pump, which in its turn is con-
nected with series OF friction wheels"
inserted above it in the track. The loco
motive is run upon these wheels, and then
however swiftly its wheels may revolve,
it can go no farther, as the friction wheels
upon which it stands revolve with those
Of the engine. The force pump is in this
manner set at work, and made to raise
from 1900 to 1000 gallons per minute
A practical test of the invention is about
to take place on the Buffalo and Brantford
Railroad.

ALWAYS BUsY.-The more a man &C.
complishes the more he may. An active
tool never grows rusty. You always
find those men the most forward to do
good, or to improve the times and man
ners, always busy. Who started our rail-
roads, our steamboats,, our machine shops,
and our manufactures! Men of industry
and enterprise. As long as they lived
they keep at work, doing something to
benefit themselves and others. 1t is Just
so with man who is benevolent-th
more he gives, the more he feels like
giving. We go for activity-in body, in
mind, IN everything. Let the gold grow
not dim, nor the thoughts become stale.
Keep all things in motion. We should
rather that death should find us scaling
q mountain than sinking in a mire0
breasting a whirlwind, than sneakingfrom
a cloud.

by knock at his door; upon opening it
he found an old woman, bent down
with age and sickness, imploring aims,
and upon inquiry he found that She was
the daughter of Schikaneder, the compaa-
ion and favorite Of the great Mozart, but
whom misfortune after misfortune had
reduced to the lowest grade of poverty
and distress, till at last, at seventy-four
years of age, she was obliged to wander
forth into the streets, and sue for charity
for herself and for her husband, who,
ssyenty-seven years old, lay at home bed
ridden and stricken by an incurable dis
ease"
