HORSE PowER OF STEAM ENGINEs.-

Horse power is an amount Of mechan-

was adopted by Watt as the average
force exerted by strong horse. His
engines were made of certain size,

A Chest StNy,

tored by regret at the absence of her favor
its, the Countess Steenbocl, who at the sam
moment, lay dangerously i'll, ut Stockholm
and at too great distance from the DYING
queen to be carried to her presence. After
tllrike had breathed her last, the royal
corpse, as is customary in that country,
was placed in an open coffin, upon an eleva-
ted frame, in an apartment Of the palace,
brilliantly illuminated with wax canlles.-
A detachment of Royal Horse Guards was
stationed in the ante e-chamber as a funer-
al watch. During the afternoon, the out
side door Of the ante chamber opened, aud
the Countess Steenbock appeal ed in deep
grief. The sollisrs Of the guard immedi-
ately formed into two lines, and presented
arms as a respect to the first dame of the
palace who was received and escorted by
the command of the guard into the chamber
whore Law the body of her dearest friend !.
Tho officers was surprised at her unexpected
arrival, and atsributing her silence to the
intensity of her grief, conducted her to the
side of the corpse, and thenretired, leaving
her alone, not choosing to disturb ths sx-
preston Of her deep emotion. The officers
waited outside for considerable time, and
the countess not yet returning, they feared
some accident had befallen her. The high
est officer in rank now opened the door, but
Immediately fell back in the uttermost con-
sternation. The other oaicsrs present then
hastensd into the room, and there they all
beheld the queen standing upright in her
coffin, and tendeily embracing the countess!
this was observed by all the officers and
soldiers Of the guard. Presently the appa-
rition seemed to waver and resolve itself
into dsnss mist. When this had disap.
peared, tho corpse Of the queen was seen
repssing in it's former position on the bed Of
state; but the countess was nowhere to be
found. In vain they searched the chamb or
and the adjoining. rooms s-not trace of
her could be discovered.
A courier Was at once dispatched to
Stockholm with an account of this extraor-
dinary occurrence, and there 1t was learned
that the Countess Stsenbock had pot left
the capital, but that she had died at precise
ly the same moment when she was seen in
the arms of the deceased queen /! An ex-
sraordinary protocol Of this occurrence was
Immediately ordered to be taken by the
officers of the government, and which was
counterHgned by all present. The doe.
umcnt is still preserved in the archives.

s'PLL DO IT WILL -Thersli.e in New
England gentleman who gave me the Col.
lowing interesting account of his own life.
He was an apprentice in a tin mandatory.
When twenty-one years old he had lost his
health, so that he was wholly unable to work
at. his trade. Wholly destitute of means,
he was thrown out upon the world, to seek
any employment for which he had str enrth.
che said he went cut to find employment,
with the determination, that Whatever he
did hsswould do it ,oeH. The first and only
thing that he found that he could do, was
to black boots and scour knives in hotel.
This he did, and did it we'll, % the gentle
man now living would testify. Though the
business was low and ssrvils, he did not lay
aside his self-rsspect, or allow himself to
be made mean by his business. Tbs respect
and confidence Of his employers were soon
secured, and he was advanced to moro ls-
crstivs and less laborious position.
"At length his health was restored, and
hs returned to his legitimate business, which
he now carries on extensively. He has ae-
cummulated an ample fortune, and 10 train
ing an interesting family by giving them the
best advan ages for moral and mental Gull
tivation. He now belds an elevated place
In the community where he lives.
"Young men who may chance to read the
above statement Of facts, should mark the
secret OF success. The mans whoie char.
acter, Of whom have spoken, was formed
and directed BY the dissemination to do
whatever he did, well. e
