POWER OF SILENCE.

A thousand and one stories arc told of
the good effects of sill nee, in cases
where an i'm nginary potent prescription
has been taken--as to hold some magic
liquor in the mouth when the storms of
passion we're raging; the good result, af-
ter all, Was due 20 the silence imposed
by keeping the mouth filled so that to
speak was impossible. Politicians un-
derstand the virtues of silence, and many
an aspiring man has destroyed his hopes
his position. John Adams said that
Washington had the most remarkable
mouth Of any man he had ever seen, for
he possessed The remarkable gift of CON
trolling his lips. 1t has passed into a
proverb that "no man WAS ever written
down, except by himself" and it may
be affirmed that few people understand
the force or appreciate the value and
Importance of the mysterious quality of
silence. One of David Humc's rules of
conduct, which he declares that he in
flexibly maintained, and which might be
initiated with advantage by some writer's
of the present day, was never to reply
to. anybody. He adds: " and, not being
very erascible in my temper, have cas-
lily kept myself clear of all literary squab-
bles." The skeptical philosopher had
not that common but foolish wish to have
the last soord. A modern writer has
defined the 6 last word'' to be the most
dangerous of Internal machines. ---Ncae-

LovE.-With man, love is never a
passion of such intensity as woman
She is creature of sensibility, existing
only in the outpourings and sympathics
OF her emotions; every earthly blessing.
nay, every heavenly love, will be sacri-
feed for her affections. She will leave
the sunny home Of her childhood, the
protecting roof of her kindred, forget
the counsels of her sire, the admonishing
voice of that mother on whose bosom her
head has been pillowed, forsake all she
has clung to in her years of girlish sim
plicity, do all that women can do con.
sistently with honor, and throw herself
into the arms Of the man she idolizes.-
He that would forsake a woman, after
these testimonies of affection, is too great
villain to be called man. The wrath
of heaven will pursue him, the brand of
Cain is upon his brow, and the curse of
Judas viii rankle in his heart.

WALKING ON RED-HoT IRON PLATES.
Prof Pepper recently delivered lee
ture in Polytechnic Institute, London,
before large audience of mechanics, in
which he remarked that the setting Of
the Thames on fire was no longer Joke,
but reality. BY dashing small bot
tie Of sulphurie e:her with few parti-
cles Of metal potassium into fiat cis-
tern, u bright fame was produced, which
Illuminated the whole place. He then
laid down four plates Of red-hot iron on
four bricks, and one of hts attendants
walked over the n barefoot, without any
injury. By wetting his fingers in amo-
ny, the Professor dipped them into a
crucible of melted lead, and let the met
al run off in the shape Of bullets into
small cistern of water.-iS1iesties Amer

A COOP STORY.

Our readers will have the benefit Of a
good story that We once heard. Travel
ing into town one night about dusk, Mr..
K. had occasion to call at mansion of
an esteemed friend who had among 9TH
er worldly possessions, two or three very
fine daughters. He had scarce knocked
at the door when it was opened by one
of these blooming maidens, who, as
quick as thought threw her arms around
his neck, and before he had time to say
Oh, don't, pressed her warm deli
cate -lipe to his, and gave him as sweet
a kiss as ever heart of swain desired =
In utter astonishment, the worthy GEN
tleman was endeavoring to stammqr out
something, when The damsel exclaimed,
Oh, mercy, mercy! Mr. K is this you :
[ tho't as much as could be it was my
brother Heary."
Pshaw - thought the gentleman to
himself, "you didn't think any such
thing" But taking her hand, he said
in forgiving Tone" there's no harm
harm cone. Don't give Yourself any
uneasiness though you ought to be a
little more careful"
Aft-r this gentle reproof he was ush :
cred into the Parlor, by the maiden, who,
as she came to the light could not con
ceal the deep blush that glowed upon
her check ; while the boquet that was
pinned upon her bosom shook like a
flower garden in an earthquake. And
when he rose to depart, it fell to her to
wait upon him to the door; and it ma y
be added they held discourse together
for some minutes on what subject it is
not for us to say. l0
As the warm hearted youth plodded
homeward, he argued with himself in
this wise:
Miss j. knew it was me who knock
ed at the door, or how did she recog-
nize me before spoke' And is it prob
able that her brother would knock be-
fore entering! She must be desperate
ly in - p>haw Why, if she loves Il
brother at that rate, how must she love
her husband for, by the great squash,
never felt such kiss in my life %

THE SHADOW OF LIFE.

Ass .fltf1 ff- .
It is seldom we meet with anything
more beautiful than the following, which
we clip from late number of the New
York Mirror
's All that live must die,
Passing through Nature to Eternity"
Men seldom think of the great event
of Death until the dark shadow falls
across their own path, hiding forever
from their eyes the face of the loved one
whose living smile was the sunlight of
their existence. Death is the great an
tagonism of Life and the cold thought
of the tomb is the skeleton in all our
feasts. We do not want to 60 through
the dark valley, although its passage
may lead to paradise and with Charles
Lamb, we do not wish to lie down in the
mouldy grave, even with kings and
princes for our bed-fellows. But the
fiat of Nature is inexorab'e. There is
no appeal or reprieve from thegreat law
that dooms us all 10 dust. We flourish
and fade like the leaves of the forest.
and the frailest flower that blooms and
withers in a day, has not frazier hold
on life than the mightiest monarch that
has ever shook the earth with his foot
steps. Generations Of men appear and
vanish like the footprint on the shore
"Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
Each trace will vanish from the sand"
In the beautiful dreams Of Ion, the in
stinct of Immortality eloquently uttered
by the death devoted Greek, finds a
deep response in every thoughtful soul.
1t is natures prophecy of the life to
come. When about to yield his young
existence to Fate, his betrothed Cleman-
the, asks if they shall net meet again.
To which he replies: 4 asked that
dreadful question of the hills that looked
eternal Of the flowing streams that lu-
cid flow forever; of the stars, amid
whose fields Of azure my raised spirit
hath walked in glory All, all were
dumb. But while Igaze upon thy liv-
ing face feel there's something in the
love which mantles through its beauty,
that cannot wholly perish. We shall
meet again, Clemanthe.

THE FAsHIoNs.-The man who does
the 6 Rubble of Baltimore " for the Pa
triOt of that city, perpetrates the follow.
ing: at
All who have watched the history of
fashions in dress, must have observed
that certain fashions, long exploded, are
continually coming into vogue again.-
We have already noticed the gradual
return, in Europe, to the full skirts and
hooped petticoats Of a former genera
tion-and we now see, amongst our
selves, the revival of fashion amongst
our young ladies, which have been in
disuse ever since their mothers were
young ladies. We allude to the broad,
stiff, silk ribbon belts or bands, which,
when we were boys, bound every lovely
waist, but which have long since been
discarded for polka waists, points, and
other bewitching inventions to conceal
and yet define the female form divine
One of our largest silk establishments
informed us yesterday, that a lot OF
those splendid ribbons, which had been
laid aside and forgotten for many years,
had just come to light, and were now
in great demand So that each lover
as he sees the dainty waist of this imam
orata encircled by one Of these reinsta-
ted einetares de Tenus, may exclain, if
he remembers the couplet-
Give me but what this girdle bound,
And take al else the world goes round"

A rERRrBLE FOE.

Baker, in Ceylon, states that on one
occasion he came across an enormous
serpent which lay in his path. ".His
head was about the size of very small
coca-nut, divided lengthways, and this
was raised to about eighteen inches above
the coil. His eyes were fixed upon us,
and the forked tongue played in and out
Of his mouth with continued hiss, ,---aim-
ing at his head, I fired at him with a
doubled barreled gun, within four PAGES,
and blew his head to pieces. He an.
peared stone dead ; but upon pulling him
by the tail, to stretch him out, he wreath.
ed himself into convulsive coils, and LASH
ing himself out at full length, moved
down the grass in all directions. This
obliged me to stand clear, for his blows
were terrific, and the thickest part of his
body was as thick as mans thigh
Cutting some sharp pointed stakes, I
waited till he was again quiet, when 1
suddenly pinned his tail to the ground
with my hunting knife, and thrusting the
pointed stake into the hole, drove it
deeply into the ground with the butt of
my rifle. The boa made some objection
to this, and again commenced his former
muscular centortions. 1 waited till they
were over and having provided myself
with some tough jungle rope "a species
ofcreeper, 7 once more approached him
and pinning his throat to the ground,
tied the rope through the incision, and
the united exertions Of myself and three
men, hauled him out perfectly straight.
| then drove stake through his throat,
and pinned him out. He was fifteen feet
in length; and it required our united
strength to tear off his skin, which shone
with a variety Of passing eolors. On
losing his hide he tore away from the
stakes and although his head was shiv-
cred to atoms, and he had lost three feet
Of his neck by the ball having cut through
this part, which separated in tearing off
the skin, still he lashed and writhed in
frightful eenvulsions, continuing till
left him, bearing his hide as my trovhv -

LoNGEvrTY.-Who are they that say
our ancestors lived longer than the pres
ent generation Let them read the fol-
lowing:
In the lower part of the sixteenth
notwithstanding to Professor Joseph
B. Buchanan. Of Cincinnati-one half
of all who were born died under five
years of age, and the average longevity
Of the whole population was but eight
cen years. In the seventeenth century
one half the population lived over twen-
ty-seven years. In the latter forty
years, one half succeeded thirty-two
years. At the beginning of the present
century cne half exceeded forty years of
age ; and from 1888 to ts45, one half
exceeded forto three years.
