WONDERFUL POWER OF FUEL.

1t is well known to modern engineers,
that there is e virtue in bushel of Goals
properly consumed, to raise 0,O0O, 900
Of pounds weight foot high. This is
actually the average of an engine work
ing in Cornwall; the engine at Huel
Towan. Let US pause a moment and
consider what this is equivalent to in
matters of practice. The ascent Of Mont
Blanc from the valley of Chamouni is
considered, and with justice, as the
most toilsome feat that a man can ex-
ecute in two days. The combustion OF
two pounds Of coal would place him on
summit. The Menai Bridge, one of the
most stupenduous works of art that has
been raised by man in modern ages, con-
sists of a mass Of iron not less than
1000, 900 of lbs. in weight. suspended
at medium height of about 100 feet
above the level Of the sea. The con-
sumption of seven bushels of coal would
suffice to raise it 10 the place where il
hangs. The great pyramid Of Egypt j:
composed of granite. It is 700 feet in
the side of its base, and 500 in perpen
dicular hight; it stands on eleven acres
of ground. its weight is therefore $50,
600 900 of pounds, at medium high
of l25 feet; consequently, it would b.
raised by the effort of about $50 chal
Irons of coal, quantity consumed il
some foundries in a week. The snnua
consumption of coal in London is esti
mated at $500. 900 chaldrons. Tht
effort Of this quantity would suffice tC
raise a cubical block of marble, 9.2JC
feet in the side. through the space equs
to its own hight, or to pile one such
mountain upon another. The Monte
Nouva near Pozzuoli, (which erupied in
q single night by volcanic 6re,) nigh
have been raised by such an effort from
depth of 10000 feet, or about eigh
miles.
Il will be observed that in the aboT,
statement the inherent power Of fuel of il
necessity greatly underrated.-E.

Whatever difficulties you have to eucoun-
ter be not perplexed, but only think what
is right to do in the sight of Him who

LADIES COLUMN.

How TO TELL.-Here is "bit of sd-
vice. to young ladies. setting forth how
they may know whether young gallant
is really counting" them. or only pay
ing them "polite attentions" The con-
founding the one with the other, has
been the source of very much trouble,
both before and since the era of Pick
wick and Mrs. Bardell
"a young man admires pretty girl,
and must manifest it. He can't help
doing so, for the life of him. The young
lady has a tender heart, reaching out.
like vine -tendrils. for something to cling
to. She sees the admiration; is fatter
ed; begins soon to love-; expects some
tender avowal; and perhaps gets so far
as to decide that she will choose "a white
satin under thin gauze,' &C., atthe very
moment that the gallant that she half
loves. is popping the question to another
dsmsel ten miles of
Now the difficulty lies in not precisely
understanding the difference between
polite attentions, and the tender msni-
festations of love. Admiring beautiful
girl, and wishing 10 make wife of her,
are not always the same thing; and there
fore it is necessary that the dsmsel
should be upon the alert to discover to
which class the attentions paid her by
handsome and fashionable young gentle
men belong.
First. then. it young man greets you
in loud. free. and hearty tone; if he
knows precisely where to put his hands:
if'he stares you straight in the eye. with
his wide open; if he turns bis back on

who made his coat; if he squeezes your
hand; If he eats heartily in your pres

your mother; if in short, he sneezes
when you are singing, cnlicises your
curls, or fails TO be foolish fifty times an

On the other hand. if he be merry
