cit is written on the Heart
Alas that there, Decay
Should claim from Love a part
Passing AMaY.O

Aye upon the Heart-strings the worm,
Decay oft preys and leaves vivid impress
there, and the tears shed from the vital part
of our existence leave their dewy presence
which become spots of rest, causing the
sweetest strains of harmony soon to jar and
tremble forth discordant notes. Yet Love
will ever retain place in the Hearts deep
recesses and though dusty and dimmed by
Time if exposed to the heat of passion will
reveal its being.
Thus are they passing away AT last Life
passes, matter returns to its kindred, but the
soul still lives.

by generally pursuing the following method:
Whenever a roof begins to leak, and you
wish to re-shingle it, do not take of the old
,shingles--put the new shingles on the top OF
the old ones--but make use of six-penny nails.
The advantage Of this method will consist in
the following particulars;
l.. You will save the expense of removing
the shingles.
= 2. The building will not be exposed to wet
in case of rain before it is finished.
3, The roof will be much warmer and
tighter.
5. Neither snow nor rain can beat under the
butts of the shingles, by heavy winds.
S. The roof will last good full one-thirl
longer.

advantages.
It takes no more shingles, no more nails in
number; only little longer; and no more time

manner, will look as we'll if single. But
It should be done before the old shingles are
too much decayed. All the mess, if any,
should be removed or swept off with stiff
broom, before putting on the new shingles

INSTRUCTIONS TO A JuRY.-The following is
published as the charge of a judge to ajury, in
. late case:
"If the jury believe, from the evidence, that
the plaintiff and defendant were partners in
the gaocery and that the plaintiff bought out
the defendant and gave his note for the inter-
est, and the defendant paid for the note by de-
livering to the plaintiff COW, which he war
ranted ''not breachy," and the warranty was
broken by reason Of the breachiness of the COW,
and he drove the COW back and rendered her
t0 the defendant, but the defendant refused
to receive her, and the plaintiff took her home
again, and put heavy yoke or poke upon her,
TO prevent her from jumping the fence, by
reason of the yoke, or poke broke her neck
and died; and if the jury further believes that
the defendants interest in the grocery was
worth anything, the plaintiffs note was worth
less, and the COW good for nothing, either
for milk or beef, then the jury must find out
themselves how they will decide the case; for
the court if it understands itself and it thinks
it does, don't know, how such Il case should
be decided" aef ~ 31N---

LoED THEY NEVER HEARD oF.-Grant Thor
burn--"Laurie Todd"-appears now and then
in New York paper with reminiscence or a
bit of an old story. Here is his last: .
In l774, DIR. Webster was a popular preacher
of,the Kirk of fScotland, Edinburgh. Business
brought him to London, and one day when
passing the House of Lords, his curiosity in
duoed him to make an effort to step in and see
them None were admitted without an order,
except ,noblemen's servants. Webster being
ignorant of the rule, requested admittance.-
"What Lord do you belong to-" said the door
keeper, TO the Lord jehovah replied Web
ster. "The Lord Jehovah, repeated the keep
er, 81 have kept here seven years, but have
never heard of such Lord" 'Jack," said he
10 his follow keeper the front steps, "here's
a chap who says he belongs to the Lord Jeho-
vah; do you know such Lord!' ::Never heard
of him. says Jack. "But," said Webster (wil-
ling to keep up the illusion,) "there is such
Lord" "Pass 'em in,' said Jack, IL 'spose it's
some poor Scotch Lord.
This occurred at period when there was
not one in twenty of all the manufacturing and
rural districts in England who could read the
Bible or write his own name. Sabbath schools
were introduced in 1855.

nal is pretty good on a sharp reply ard a
play upon words. A correspondent wish
es to know the reason of the camels
back. Terrill says: ~ ..'." .lH
We will mention for our correspondents
benefit. that the Arabs have two legends
in regard to it. One is that the camel
took offence at not being allowed to head
the procession into the Ark, and got his
back up; and Allah as a just punishment
for his vanity and presumption, and as a
memorable and perpetual warning to 9TH
ers never permitted him to get it down
again. The other is, that he was grazing
at distance from the Ark, when Noah
put out his bills for sailing, and in order
to reach the boat in time, was compelled
to hump himself in most extraordinary
manner. We give these orientalisms for
what they are worth

SINGULAR RAILROAD FACTS.

Statisticians, in the exercise Of their
calling, work out some singular facts and
deduce therefrom some very singular
rules. The Merchants Maga-ine for Oc-
tober gathers some Of these facts and
rules from the British Board of Trade
Report, and the report Of the French
Minister of Public Works. The French
authorities make an elaborate report, de-
failing with great minuteness the railroad
disasters in France.
1t appears that during the year 1857,
twenty-five persons were killed and six
hundred and thirty-one wounded on the
British railways "by cause beyond their
own control" OF the twenty five deaths,
but one occurred in Scotland and none
in Ireland Taking into account the
number of persons carried, this gives one
fatal accident to every 100000 passen-
gers
Subjoined is the result of series of
comparisons of railroad disasters in yari-
Gus counties during several years.
PASSENGERS CARRIED.-Prussia, one
killed or wounded to every 3,294,075.
Belgium, one killed or wounded to eve
ry 1,6lI,227.
France, one killed or wounded to eve
~ 375.O92.
England, one killed or wounded to eve
ry 3ll,345.
United States, one killed or wounded
to every 1873, ,459
From the commencement of the rail-
road system. in France, in 1885, up TO
lS55-a period of twenty years-5l3
accidents happened. of which 274 were
from running of the track, and 239 from
collisions. In these accidents Ill per-
sons were killed, giving one person killed
for every l,703, l23 passengers carried
TO this must be added 393 wounded; and
taking killed and wounded into account,
it presents one killed or wounded for eve-
ry- 315,092 passengers carried This
docs not include agents or persons who
suffered from causes within their own con-
troll, as suicides, &c. Of these 5l3 ac-
cidents, 252 were the fault of the employ
ees, their carelessness or violation of the
rules bringing on collisions, and 26l from
defects in the state of the road, locomo-
tive, &c. -.-..-.-------
