neA-A new water-meter is about being
introduced in Boston. Itconsists of hor-
lzontal cast-iron cylinder, in which are two
plstons connected by shaft, forming an
air chamber between them. Under the
cylinder is a chest, containing sliding
hollow valve, with ports opening into each
end of the cylinder and through the centre
into the air chamber Through the valve
the water is forced alternately from each
end OF the cylinder by the movement of
the piston into and through the air cham
Der from the machine, in perfectly uni
form and steady stream; the valves being
kept IN contact with the valve seats by the
pressure of the water in the chest where
the supply is admitted. At right angles
with the shaft connecting the pistons is a
shaft, supporting crank with two arms,
one OF which, being connected with the
valve stem projecting through the cylinder
into the air chamber, is acted upon by the
plstons to move the valve until the ports
are nearly closed, when, to reverse the flow
OF water, the valve is instantly forced to
complete its stroke by the action of DIFF
ferentlal piston, connected by cam and
antl-friction roller with the other arm of
the crank. The registering index, from
one to one hundred thousand cubic feet, is
placed above the cylinder, under lock and
key, and, being connected with and acted
upon by the crank-and the pistons being
packed perfectly tight-no water can pos
sibly pass through the machine in any
quantity, however small, even to drops,
without being accurately measured, the
length of stroke of the pistons being ad-
Unstable to minute degree of accuracy by
collars on the shaft. Another peculiarity
is simple and sure method Of draining
the machine and pipes connected with it,
to prevent freezing, by merely shutting off
the supply at the waste-cock in the cellar.

TIE Ntacfows Of an A,efM H1nter.-
The following eloquent extract is taken
from discourse lately delivered by Rev.
E. II. Chapin to his congregation in New
York:
I" 1t is not the ruined merchant merely
it Is not the spectacle of deprecated
property and lost credit, and the manifold
discomtorts of usual bankruptcy that most
make us shudder and grow sad Around
the gloomy shadow there is still darker
rim. Away down below the platform of
financial transactions there looms sea of
faces-these faces Of workingmen and
workingwomen, looking up among the
stopped machinery of the factories, and the
silence of shipyards, and all the desolations
Of suspended labor; looking up to the shad-
ows of an awful Winter overcasting them.
Men and brethren, what shall we do for
those whose hard earned dollars arc not
merely honor and credit, but bread and
blood, and life itself? What shall VIC do
for the poorest Of babes, that must soon
hang on the wilted breast of famine, and
for the women for whom we must say
something more than God help them =
All, yes, financial crisis is a-matter for
tears and shuddering, as well as for arith-
metic and rumor"
