The london TYa,es. speaking of the naval cana.

The London Times, speaking of the naval capa-
biites CT the United States, says:
Whatever may be the actual condition of the
American doclyards, it would be absurd to dispar-
age the true naval strength fthe States No reas-
enable man would think anything more lightly of
the maratime power of the American Union from
the circumstances here disclosed Twenty years
ago, our own ports spoken of in almost SINH
lar terms. What is it, then, that contributes so
efectually to American reputation. and even car
rics it through exposures which would otherwise
prove destructive simply the universal conviction
that all the clements OF strength in reality there
in abundance. And what gives this conviction
Simply tho knowledge that all the seas of the globe
are covered with American shipping, and that,
though the national arsenals may not contain the
materials for a frigate. the yards rivers, and har-
bors ofthe country could turn out in twelve months
or even in as many weeks such an armada as new
er yet crossed the ocean. Only the day before yes
terday, we published detailed enumeration of the
number Of steamships which had been launched ut
the port ofNow York alone. up to the first day of
the present year, and these figures actually showed
Il total Of IS, with an aggregate Tonnage of 100000
or, in other words G5 steamers, averaging up
wards of 1000 tons each. There can never be a
question about the true naval power of State like
this.

MIXING BEARs.--Tho Freeman's Journal gives
the following good one:
"A friend Of ours who has recently returned from
little iaunt in the country, happening to stay at
the house Of an old Methodist Deacon has handed
us the following specimen Of that pous gentlemans
commentary on a passage in the Bible. AS it is
quite equal to anything we have seen lately, we do
not feel disposed to keep it to ourselves tappears
that for number of years past the Deacon has OBJ
served the custom of reading daily a chapter from
the sacred scriptures to the family, and Of making
running cXtemporaneous commentary upon each
particular passage that seemed to require elucida-
ton Coming to the part of of the Bible which
says: "Now these seven did Milcha bear unto Ma
hor he cleared his throat and explained thus:
The object of this here passage is to show us how
bad off the people used to was in old times. Then
they didt have no darys, but was oblecged to milk
bears it took six to hold the bear while the tother
MIXED it, and they had to go to Nahor to git the

Nor ASHAMED OF THE SHop.--One day while
Friend Hopper was visiting a wealthy family in
Dublin, a note was handed to him inviting him to

not exactly to our set. Their father was mechan-

tavcmkecpers to charge the ministers anything for
lodging and REFRESHMENTS preacher presumingly
stopping at a tavern one evening, made himself
comfortable during the night, and in the morning
entered the stage without offering any pay for his
accommodations. The landlord soon came running
up to the stage, and said that there was some ono

said they had. except the minister, who said he
derstood that he never charged ministers anything

BRlrIsu FAITH IN AMERcA.--Thc European
Times of Il late date, closes leading article with
this language:
"The .iaundiccd politicians of England viewed,
years ago with alarm and terror the success of the
democratic principle ON the western shores of the
Atlantic; but much of this fear Of liberal institu-
tons, in their most expansive form, has long since
disappeared. and even the most stationary poiti-
clans in the country, 50 far from droadng America
have learned to respect her Old prGjudices on this
head are all but extinct, and our firm conviction is
that if Great Britain were involved in struggle for
national existence--if she were to become the OBJ
iect of attack the part OF all the combined con-
tncntal despots the spot Of the earth to which she
would first look for support, and not look IN vain
would be the thriving progeny which she originally
planted on the western continent"

a DEAD Snor.-Kit Carson tells first rate thing
about set-to he had with Crow Indian that will
bear repeating Carson had been out towards San
ia te as guide to party OF volunteers, and being
well paid for his services, he laid in with another
wild dog to return home in good trim, and plenty
of the whiskey Carson and his fellow -voyager
quarrelied parted, and each continued his way
alone. Carson had good horse and first class
pack mule The night following the departure Of
his late friend, Carson found himself little susp-
cious Of Indians; storm came up, he lost his way
and mule also but having a large cantecn of bald
face brandy, the hardy fellow took hearty swg
and went on his way. Presently he hears dubious
noises in the forest and not long after his keen eye
detects-Indians

SPARE MY HEART FROM GROWING OLD

Old Time, | ask boon Of thee
Thou'st stripped my hearth of many friend,
Ta'cn half my glee and all my joys
Be Just for once to make amend;
And since thy hand must leave its trace,
Turn locks to gray, turn blood to cold
DO what thou wilt with form and face,
But spare my heart from growing old
know thou'st zen from many mind
It's dearest wealth, its choicest store,
And only lingering left behind
O'erwisc experiences bitter lore;
IT'S sad to mark the minds decay,
Feel wit grow dim and memory cold
Take these, old Time, take all away,
But spare my heart from growing old.
Give me to live with friendship still,
And hope and love till life be Ger
Let be the first, the final chill
That bids the bosom bound no more;
SO thai when am passed away,
And in my grave lie slumbering cold,
With fond remembrance friends may say
His heart, his heart grew never old.

Their power over the above diseases is not ex-
