an extract from ssmerchant of the high
est intelligence and standing in England
who prophesies in this wise:
eff your Government can keep quiet

States securities by any threatened war,
capital will flow to your side SO as to en-
able the Americans to finish their most

Velocity OF THE WIND.--Professo
Stoddard, in lecture recently delivered
upon the hurricane in Knox Co., Ohio,
stated that in one town a grove Of oak
trees was almost entirely blown down.
The trunk of one of these trees was a.
bout three feet in diameter. Assuming,
however, its diameter to be but two and
a half feet, force of $4,000 pounds
would be required to break it. The
surface of the tree exposed to the action
of the wind was about 900 feet, which
would give pressure by the wind of l47
pounds per square foot, o. a volicity of
not less than III miles per hoi.T, which
il nearly one-fourth the initial velocity
Of cannon bali. Allowing the height
Of the hurricane, or whirlwind, to have
been sixty feet, the whole force exerted
at one time along its trunk was five thou
sand million pounds, or a working pow
er eaualto more than half the steam pow
er Of the globe.

A LIVE NoBLEMAN.-We heard an
amusing story told us concerning the

1t appears that among the list of passen-

The news quickly spread, and was
promptly communicated TO the English
Consul, who, in the generosity of his
allure, at once engaged two rooms for
his distinguished countryman at the ire
mont, and then proceeded witha carriage
to the steamer to convey him to his quar-
tiers, when Zone gran mistake" was
discovered. The Earl of Durham Bull

EVERY Man HAS A sCALL.'-Each

has faculties silently inviting him. thith-
er to endless exertion. He is like a
ship in a river; he rups against obstruc-
ton every side but one on that ST de all
distractions taken away, ard he sweeps
serenely over a deepening channel into
an infinite sea. This talent and this call
depend upon his organization, or the
mode in which the general sonl incar-
mates itself in him. He inclines to do
something which is easy to him, and
good when it is done, but which no 9TH
man can DO. He has no rival. For
the more truly he consults his own pow
ers, the more difference will his work
exhibit from the work of any other. -
His ambition is exactly proportioned to
his POWERS. The height Of pinnacle is
determined by the breadth Of the base.
Every man has this call Of the power
to DO somewhat unique, and no man
has any other call. The pretence that
he has another Gail, a summons by
any personal election, and outward signs
that mark MIN extraordinary, and not
in the roll Of common men, is fanaticism
and betrays obtuseness to perceive that
there Is one mind in all the individuals,
and no respect Of persons therein.-T r.

A YANKEE JOKE IN THE Barrie
The following story is told in letter
from All officer in the Baltic fleet, dated
the 18th of April:
"One morning, few days since, we
saw large vessel, s or 10 miles ahead
which we fully believed to be a Rus
sian man-of war, as she made all sail to
get away, and showed no colors.
AS we rapidly came up with her she
took in sail until she was under reef ed
topsails lighting trim so we beat to
quarters, and the pipe sounded loudly,
Glands, bring the ship into action !''--
For some three minutes everything was
hustle, casting the guns loose, clearing
the decks, SC. Five minutes more and
every gun was shotted and primed, and
the men standing with the matchlnes
in their hands, waiting for the word to
fire.
Just as we got within good distance,
the blackguard ran up American colors
and coolly told us he would have hoisted
them sooner, but he wanted to see how
smart we would clear for action! II
our tars did not bless him to the wrong
side Of heaven never believe me.'
