A Compliment to the Press.

1t has often been noticed that while no public
dinner could 90 off here without toast of "the
Press" drunk with all the honors, and replied to
il an exhilirating speech by some enthusiastic
member of the fourth estate our transatlantic
cousins never pay similar homage to their
journals. Hence it has been argued that the
press is either valued too highly here of too low
there.
The last news from the East shows that the
only difference between the British and ourselves
is in the manner ofpaJing compliments. The
Commander in chief has just issued orders that
rations shall be issued to the cor
of the London Times and forage to
his horse. We drink toasts TO our journals; the
British give beef and bread beer and oats to
theirs. We don't know on the whole whether
their plan does notindicate higher regard for
the well being of the fourth estate than ours

Charcoal for Turkeys.
0scretor;eo
iENRY, 80 '0

1t is said that charcoal when mixed with the
food, fattens turkeys very rapidly. A cores
pondent of the Germantoacn Telegraph says:
l have recently made an experiments and must
say that the result surprised me, as had always
been rather sceptical. -Four turkeys were con
fined in pen, and fed on meal boiled potatoes
and oats. -Four others, of the same brood,
we're also, at the same time confined in another
pen, and fed daily on the same articles, but
with one pint of very finely pulverised charcoal
mixed with their meal and potatoes. They
had also plentiful supply of broken charcoal
in theirpen.-The eight were killed on the day,
and there was a difference of one and half
pounds each in favor of the fowls which bad
been supplied with the charcoal, they being
much the fattest, and the meat greatly superior
in point of tenderness and flavor.

''I LOVE TO sTEAL."-An amusing incident
occurred in one of down-east churches, some
years ago. The clergyman gave out a pleasant
Sabbath afternoon in July:
/ love to steal awhile away,
From every cumbering care,
: And spend the hour OF setting day,
In humble, grateful prayer"
The regular chorister being absent the duty
devolved upon the good deacon NJ, who com
menced:
81 love to steal"
and then bagged down--and raising his voice
to a still higher pitch, he sung,
n love to steal"
and, as before he concluded he had got the
wrong pitch, and deploring that he had not his
-"pitch tuner he determined to succeed if he
died in the attempt
BY this time all tho old ladies were tittering
behind their fans whilst the faces of the young
uns' were all in broad grim At length after a
desperate cough he made final demonstration
and roared out,
II love to steal"
This effort was too much; every other but the
godly and eccentric parson was laughing, who
arose and with the utmost GOODNESS said:
Seeing our brothers popensties, let us
pray!"
1t is needless to say that but few of that cen
gregatiou heard the prayer.

The Press.

.H
! The following eloquent tribute to the Press
is from Dir. Dodds' late work on Spiritualsm.
We hardly know a finer passage of the kind in
the English language:
'It is power beneath whose raps thrones
must crumDle into fragments, despots fall, man
acles break, and tyranny die 1t is the PRESS!
Yesi the moral power Of the press is already
the great co.wOrking companion with the Cos
pei of Christi Before this instrument, as to
its idea, was invented by the immortal Fauste,
what was the condition Of the world, SO far as
Its Christian character was concerned2 Let the
ignorance, cruelty bloodshed, and gloom of
the dark ages send back the answer Where
then, ask, was the Bible? 1t was not seen
by the millions of our race Its written man
uscrpts, here and there copy, were with the
Pope, the Bishop, the Priest, shut out from the
light of day in some coisters dark recess or
vault 1t was the strong arm of the press that
tore away the bolts ard bars ofits prison, de-
molished its doors, snatched it from It's secret
and silent tomb, and flung it to the hearth of
the cottager, to the poor widow in her solitude,
to the lonely orphan, to the prisoner in his dun
geon, flung it to the world, as the worlds rich
est TREASURED The Pressl that mighty engine
of power and light, tyrants feared, fastened up
on it a tyrant's chain, and denied or restrained
its liberty. But in Young America and Old
England, it has broken loose. 1t is unclaimed,
and before its awful power tyrants this moment
trem5le and their thrones shake. II filings out
its sheets by millions, and showers them over
the globe. The water, the stream-yes, the
lightning of heaven, the electric power that
moves the globe, have lent their aid! l had
almost said that the Creator had lent it his own
omnipresence in the telegraphic despatch 1t
has its millions ole eyes, and beholGs all things
that are.dOne under heaven, and its millions of
tongues to speak alike to the coitager and
king! and it speaks without fear? 1t is in mo-
ton, and beneath its tread the globe shakes to
its center, the moral elements are set in mo-
ton, and tyrants may as well presume to arrest
the globe in its mighty course around the sun,
as attempt to arrest the advancing power of the
press. 1t proclaims alike to the world the states
mans magnanimity and greatness, the orators
eloquence, the scholars fame, the poets inspi
ration, the phylanthropist's deeds in the prison
ers cell, the hero's victories in fields of war; the
wrongs the Chrstain's triumph, ,and |
he williams defeat. 1t looks abroad with equal !
Eye on thrones and hamlets, on the rich and
poor, summons all alike to its tremendous bar,
loldS them in its grasp for trial, condemns,
lcquits, and proclaims its verdict to the world.

THE WORTH OF WOMEN.
From tie Gern.dn of ScLiHer

80 From tie German Of SchiHSr.
Honor to woman! she beams en- the sieht, =
Gracefuland fair, like being of Hight:
SeatterS around her wherever she. straYs,
Roses of bliss on our thorn-covered ways;
Roses Of Paradise sent from above, n
To be gathered and twined in a garland Of Love
Man, on passions stormy ocean,
Tossed by surges mountain high,
Courts the hurricanes comm0ton,
Spurns at reasons feeble cry. q.
Loud the tempest roars around him,
Louder stil it roars within,
Flashing lights Of hope cenfound him,
StunS with lile's incessant din.
Woman invites him with bliss in her smile,
To cease from his toll and be happy awhile;
W hlspering wooingly-come to my bower
Go not in search ofthe phantom of power
Honor and wealth re-illusory- eorel
Happiness dweis III thc temples Of Eome.
Man, with fury stern and savage,
Persecutes his brother man,
Reckless il he bless or ravage,
Action, action-stiil bis plan.
Now creating, now destroying,
Ceaseless wishes tear his breast;
Ever seeking-ne'er enjoying;
Still to be, but never blest.
Woman, centenled in silent repose,
Enjoys in its beauty life's flower as il blows,
And waters 'and tends it with innocent heart,
Far richer than man with his treasures of art:
And wiser by far in the ciTcles confined
Than he with his silence and lights Ofthe mind
Coldly 10 himself suficing,
Man disdains the gentler arts,
Knoweth not the bliss arising
From the interchange of hearts.
Slowly through his bosom stealing,
Til by ages frost congealing,
1t is hardened into stone.
She, like the harp that instirctively rings,
AS the night breathing zephyr soft sighs on the
strings,
Responds to each impulse with steady reply,
Whether sorrow or pie sure hel sympathy try;
And tear-drops and smiles on her countenance
play,
Like sunshine and showe7son a morning in May.
Through the range Of mans dominion,
Terror is the ruling word
And the standard of opinion
Is the temper of the sword,
Srfe exults and pity blushing,
From the scene departing flies,
Where the battle madly rushing,
Brother upon brother dies.
Woman commands with milder control
She rules by enchantment the realms of the SOU,
As she gances around in the light of her smile
The war of the passions is huShed for while,
And discOrd, content from his fury to cease,
Reposes entranced on the pillow of peace.

PERPETUAL MoTIoY.-The discovery of new
perpetual motion is announced at New York
1t is on the plan Of arms and balls attached to a
cylinder so as to keep the extra weight always
on the descending side. 1t requires no starting,
only needs letting loose and off it goes. The diff
fculty isto stop it. The Journal Of Commerce
says;
@After careful examination we can safely
say, in all seriousness that the propeliing power
is selfeontained and selfadjusting, and gives
sufficiently active force to carry ordinary clock
work, and all without any winding up or replen-
ishing"
