PUNCTUATION PUzzLE.-The following para
graph, extracted from the Portland Transcript is
capital illustration of the importance Of punctuation.
There are two ways Of pointing it, one Of which
makes the individual in question monster of wick
edness, while the other converts him into model
Christian Let our readers exercise their ingenuity
the problem, and see if they discover its two
fold solution: f., -
He is an old experienced man in vice and wick
edness he is found opposing the works of I'M
guilty he takes delight in the downfall Of the neigh
borhood he never rejoices in the prosperity Of any
Of his fellow creatures he is always ready to assist
destroying the peace of society he takes no pleasure
in serving the Lord he is uncommonly dligent in
sowing discord among his friends and acquaintan-
ces he takes no pride in laboring to promote the
cause Of Christianity he has not been negligent
in endevorng to stigmatise all public teachers he
makes no exertion to subdue his evil passions he
strives hard to build up Satan's kingdom he lends
no aid to support the gospel among the heather
he contributes largely to the evil adversary he
pays no attention to good advice he gives great
heed to the devil he will never go to Heaven he
he must go where he will receive the just recon-
pense of reward.

IMPORTANT, IF TRuE.-The London Morning
Chronicle announces an important discovery. 1t is
stated that great experiment was recently tried
at Vincennes, in the presence of Gen. Lahitte and
the officers of the fort The secret of COMPRISING
and governing electricity is at length discovered as
the sole motive power henceforth to be used. A
small mortar was fired by the inventor at the rate
of . hundred shots minute without flashing,
smoke or noise. The same power can, it seems,
be adapted to every system Of mechanical inven-
ton, and is destined entirely to supersede steam,
requiring neither machinery nor combustion A
vessel propelled by this power is said to skim the
water like bird, and to fear neither storm nor
hurricane The inventor has already petitioned for
line of steamers from L'Orient to Norfolk, in the
United States, which passage he promises to ac-
complish in eight and forty hours" "e

An ED1ToR's LAST TRIcK.-The French Jour-
nal Figaro having lately incurred the displeas-
ure of the Government for various articles it had
published, seeing itself on the brink of ruin, its
editor took it into his head to address petit
ton to the Imperial Prince, now about four
weeks old. The address was printed in the pa
per, which was then enclo sed in an envelope
and addressed, "To his highness the Prince
Imperial at the Palace of the Tuilleries." In a
corner of the envelope was written ''personal."
The pacage came into the hands of Count
Tascher de Ia Pagerie, who carried it to the En-
peror. His Majesty took the bundle, read the
superscripton, laughed when he saw the word
"personal," and then stopped. The Empress
was consulted, and it was agreed between them
that as it was rather long to wait till the Prince
had attained sufficient age to know what did or
did not personally concern it, they might, as his
legal guardians, safely venture to break the seal.
1t is said that, thanks to this lucky thought of
the editor of Figaro, the Government has aban-
doned the suit against him, and that his paper
is now in fair way of increasing its subscrip-
ton list.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO BURN THE TENNESSEE
PENIrENrIARY.-We learn from the Nashville
Union and American, that another attempt was
made to burn the penitentiary of Tennessee on
Monday night week. About midnight, one Of
the wings containing the cells was suddenly
lighted up, when the guards and several Of the
prisoners gave the alarm -'.--
1t appears that one Of the convicts concealed
under his clothes, some thin pieces of wood, a
piece Of iron and turpentine ball; and thus
smugglcd them into his cell. The ball he light.
ed by means of match, fastened it to the
iron, which was appended to the wood, and
pushed it through fue or vent in his cell, to
the rafters Of that part Of the prison.
It is probable that the entire building would
have been destroyed but for the timely discov-
cry The attempt was bold one, and the per-
petrator duplicates one of those concerned in
the burning Of March, 1855. 1t is probable that
others were concerned.
