WHAT is A YEAR?

What is year? 'Ts but a wave
On life's dark rolling stream,
Which is so quickly gone thatwe
Account it but dream.
n'Tis bat single earnest throb
OF times old iron heart.
Which tireless is, and strong as when
1t first with life did start. -s4
WHAT'S year? 'Tis but turn
OF times old brazen wheel;
Or but page upon the book
Which time must shortly seal,
IT'S but step upon the road
Which must travel DER;
few more steps and we shall walk
LIES weary road no more.
What is year? 'Tis but breath
From times old nostrils blown,
As rushing onward DER the earth,
We hear his weary moan.
'Tjs ike bubble on the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn
As transient as the mist 9f morn
Beneath the summer
What is year? 'Tis but type
OF lifs's ott-changing scene
Youths happy morn comes gaily on,
W in hills and valleys q cen.
Next summers prime succeeds the spring,
Then autumn with a tear,
Then comes old Wnter-death--and all
blu.t find alevel here.

AZ The failure Of the Roral British Bank.

0tF The failure of the Royal British Bank,
announced by the last steamer, proves more
serious affair to the depositors than the stock
holders. The latter hold but 100000; the
former are in for about $4,2lO,OoO. The Ii
quidation, it is feared, will prove bad one,
as large advances were made on unproductive
property in Wales, and to certain parties con-
nected with the mismanagement of the con
cern. The event of bank failure, so rare in
London, creates much discussion in the press
The bank was started on the Scotch credit
and savings system, but it appears to have de
generated into the widest speculations, pursu-
ing no particular system whatever.

THE New Iron DIsCOvERY.-A good deal
of interest has been existing for some months
past in England, with reference to the diseov-
cry by Bessemir an iron master of Sheffield,
of plan by which the manufacturer Of blooms,
bars, &C., from pig iron, is greatly facilitated.
The London Times has taken great interest in
make complete revolution in the manufacture
Of iron. The London illustrated News has
given extensive illustrations Of the mode of
proceeding, and the scientific men Of England,
generally, have taken a great interest in the
discovery. Still more interest has been ex-
cited by the claim of Mr. Marteau, of Newark
New Jersey, to the discovery, and a suit is
pending in the English courts to test the
priority Of invention. Meanwhile we are in
formed that both inventors are really super
seeded by American inventors and manufac-
'turers. The Magnetic Iron Company, Mott
Haven, are manufacturing fran the ore a0itt the
same facility that the English are a0oring from
the pig, thus virtually beginning where the
others leave off. We learn that their discovery
has been made without any idea of others be-
ing in existence, and that they have been
working upon the system for three years, or
long before the others began. Specimens of
steel and fine iron are on exhibition at the
New York depot of the company, SO Broad
way, which scientific men say cannot be else
where equalled in any good quality. 1t is a
matter of some national pride and interest to
see an invention over which the English run
mad, thus quietly anticipated and beaten by
an American company. We shall recur to
this subject again.-[N. 7. State Register.

The Fair at Temperance Hall on
Friday evening last was very nice
affair, and fairly represented the re-
fined and cultivated taste of our ladies.
The articles on exhibition were various
and elegantly gotten up. A brilliant
refreshment table, with its stores Of
good things, refreshed the guests and
occasionally they were RECALLED by ex-
cellent performances on thu, Mclodeon,
with vocal accompaniment. The eve
ming was very pleasantly spent by all
in attendance. We are happy to add
that the pecuniary success of tho en-
terprise was highly gratifying to it's
projectors.

turo. Clemens, man distinguished
for scords far more than deeds, publish
es lengthy correspondence, but O.!
the gasl Itappearsthat Mr.. Langfitt
on recent occasion in the Hall ofthe
Exchange, Richmond, spit at---or in
the face of--C lemensl Clemens did
not then resent the insult, but told Mr..
j.. that he held him responsible, and
that he should hear from him again !!
giving as reason for not pitching in
to" him then that he co. was under
pecuniary obligations to Mr.. l.. So
the matter rested for FIFTEEN DAYS,
when eBombastns Furioso, aforesaid,
got up his spunk all at once and aw-
fully, having paid Mr.. L, whathc owed
him, as he says, and challenged Mr..
l.. to meet him on the field, which Of
of course Langftt declined under the
code of honor, and doubtless in view
of tho fact that man whom it takes
fifteen days to screw up his courage to
the fighting point, forfeits his right to
resent the insult, and may not be con-
sidered dangerous. In declining the
challenge of Clemens, Mr.. Langfitt is
sustained by Messrs. Robt. johnson
Jno. Seldom and JOS. Segar, men well
posted in the code of honor, the two
first of whom are of Clemens own po-
litical party. Read what they say:
=" Richmond, Pa, Feb. 81, 1916.
On Monday evening last Mr.. Lang
fit gave us full statement of the
causes which led to the difficulty with
Mr.. Clemens; and, at the same time
read, and gave us to read, letter, adj
dressed to him by Mr.. Clemens, de-
handing satisfaction for the Insult Of
fered him in the Hall OF the Exchange.
In thus laying the matter before US, he
asked our advice as to his proper reply;
and at the same time expressed his en-
tire readiness to abide by our decision,
without reference to his own feelings
Or, inclinations. We all agreed that,
under the circumstances, Mr.. Lang6tt
could not accept the challenge of Mr..
Clemens, and we so advised him.
