down. He would not come. His master shook
the whip at him. Jack, astride on the ridge

+ How TO MAKE HENS DO THEIR DuTY.-The
happest days in our virtuous life have been
spent in the country. There's where we fast
ened virtue on u.s. drove in the nails, and clencL-
ed them on the inside to make a sure thing Of
it. This virtue is great thing, and among
other good effects it leads us to do oil the good
we can to assist our fellows to the fruit of our
experience. The following may be serviceablc
to our farmer friends.
One day, in our youth, while on the magnili-
cent farm Of Mrs. Nancy Smalleye, we watched
her struggling with fractious hen biddy, which
she had seized by the legs and was resolutely
bearing from the hen.roost. The screams of
the fowl were truly awful, and she spread her
pecks at the under-pinnings of Mrs. Smalleye,
evidently dissatisfied with the undignifed mode
of her conveyance.
"What are you going to do with her," asked
we; going to have stew for dinner?"
"A stew? No, child" was the answer;
" fetch me tub from the shed, and LII show
you"
The tub was speedily brought.
"Turn it upside down." said she.
We did as we were bid wondering what was
to be done with the biddy.
Immediately Mrs. Smalleye clapped the en-
ragged hen under the tub, and with a triumphant,
voice exclaimed:
"There now, stay there you pesky critter!
I'll have it out of you to-day, or you shan't have
mouthful Of wittles."
Have what out of her?" inquired we, in a
perfect cloud of innocent unsophisticacity.
sThe egg, of course" said she. :.
"Why, you can't make hen lay an egg
can you2" y1 8 I.
" Poor childl" said Mrs. Smalleye, with mp
lifted eyes and compassionate smile upon us,
4" You don't know how / do it. You see, dear
Willie, hens win get lazy like other folks, and
shirk their duty and don't lay, as if we could
afford to keep them for nothing. Some folks
will put up with it, but won't; won't be i'm
posed upon by no hen, no indeed. know
their eggs, and can tell as sure as ever was
who does lay and who don't. Them that lays
let have their liberty, and 60 around and picl
and scratch and court the roosters, and tanta
lie each other, and do Just about what they
please. But them that don't, l alters put them
under the tub. The handles, you see, dear,
leave just crack enough for them to see the
other hens enjoying themselyes--and its aggra

mighty stubborn, and won't give IN, but even

CALIFORNIA GAMBLING. - The Marysvils
Herald says that some time since a gambler
absconded from that place, leaving behind him
a roulette wheel, which, on being taken apart,
was found to be so constructed that, by touch
ing spring, the bottom of every box painted
red would pc made to rise, presenting smooth
surface, and leaving the bali no alternative but
to drop into the black. Should the heaviest
betting be upon the black, the screw might be
pressed little harder, whereupon the bottoms
| Of all the black boxes would come up, and the
bali must go into the red. Moving with the
smoothness of clock-work, the machinery could
never fail. With il child might play against
| the world and win every stake. Doubtless
many young man who has gone out from our
eastern States to the land of promise, buoyant
with health, and hope, and energy, and has
there earned by the sweat of his brow an
amount sufficient to render him independent
for life, has, in moment Of excitement or Tor
| oetfulness, been induced to stake has hard
earned Gains at the table of gambler-per-
hans on such an instrument as this--and has
.hIs been robbed not only of his wealth, but Of
his hope, his energy, and his selfrespect.

+ SPEED OF RAILwAYs.-Dr. Lardner adopts
some ingenious arguments, or rather some IL
lustrations, to show the extraordinary velocity
with which our express trains move. The
great western express to Exeter travels at the
rate of 43 miles an hour, including stoppages,
or SO miles, not including stoppages. To at
tain this rate, speed of GO miles an hour is
adopted midway between some of the stations;
and in certain experimental trips 10 miles an
hour have been reached. A speed of 20 miles
an hour is equivalent to 35 yards per second
35 yards between two beats Of a common clock
All objects near the eye of passenger travel
ling at this rate will pass by the eye in the 35th
part of second; and if 35 stakes were erect
ed at the side of the road, yard asunder, they
would not be distinguishable one from another;
if painted red, they would appear collectively
as a continuous fash of red color. If tive
trains with this speed passed each other, the
relative velocity would be 10 yards per second; !;
and if one of the trains were 20 yards long, it
would flash by in single second. Supposing
the locomotive which draws such train to
have driving wheels seven feet in diameter,
these wheels will reyolye FIVE times in a second.
The piston moves along the cylinder ten times
in second but as there are two cylinders,
which act alternately, there are really twenty
puffs or escapes of steam in a second. The
locomotive can be heard to "cough" when
moving slowly, the cough being occasioned by
the abrupt admission Of waste steam up the
chimney; but 20 coughs per second cannot be
separated by the ear, their individuality becom-
ing lost. Such locomotive speed is equal to
nearly one.fourth that of cannon ball; and
the momentum of whole train, moving at
such speed, would be nearly equivalent to the
aggregate force Of number of cannon balls,
equal to one-iourth the weight of the train.
That smash" should follow collision" is
no subject for marvel, if q train moving at
such speed, or anything like such speed, should
meet with any obstacle to its progress.
