A DRowsY CONDUCTOR IN CHURCH.
A good story is related of conductor on a
railroad, who was astrict church-going man,
and was always found promptly in his church
on the Sabbath. One Saturday evening his
train was in very late, and he did not take
his customary amount of sleep, which, how
ever, did not prevent his attending divine
service as usual. During the sermon he I'M

The startled neighbor also sprang to his feet
which thoroughly aroused the conductor
who, looking wildly around, and seeing al
eyes turned toward him, instantly compre

Resemblance of Saratoga to nm Alpine vii


Resemblance of Saratoga to nm Alpine VIII
laEe-Energy and COaneting of the Area
dian Divinities.
A gossipping letter writer from Saratoga
says:
Saratoga at present looks very much like
a Swiss cantonment. The jaunty little hats
and striped bodices, wherein the women in
dulge, are strikingly suggestive of an Alpine
village. A young lady, with little Stat
on her head and a big "fat' by her side, has
Just passed my window; she looks for all the
world like shepherdess, and, with a very
slight effort of the Imagination, one might
fancy ones self in Arcadia. II is difficult to
believe ethat--notwithstanding her innocent
looks--that young lady is a perfect Flora
Temple on the Fashion Course; that she came
out several seasons ago, trotted in the earlier
part of the Summer at Newport, and is now
in high flirting condition. Though she am
bles along on the other side of the street in
dolce far niente kind of way, and, looking
sideways and conscious when apoken TO,
she win distance that long-limbed animal by
her side in weeks time and leave him
fairly blown at some seaside town, while
she is quietly going through her PAGES in an
uptown drawing-ro0m.
Poor fellow II saddens my soul to think
-how-for Ame-his poor heart will bleed
how his side-whiskers will languish, and
the ends of his moustache forget their ac-
customed curl, until the sea-breeze and clam
chowder revives him, when he will swear
vengeance upon the sex, return to town, and
| devote himself assiduously to triAing with
| the affections of some milliner--she will foo
him in her turn-and the result of this sec
ond disappointment is fearful to contem
| plate. He will rush down to Saratoga agair
and spend the remainder of his days il
| drinking ConpresS-water in writinOf or thi
Ledger or in doing something else equally

THE ROMAN SENTINEL-A FELIcIToUs SIM
LE.-When Pompeii was destroyed, there
were very many buried in the ruins of it,
who were afterward found in different sit
uations. There were some found in deep
vaults as if they had gone thither for secu-
rity. There were some found who were in
the streets, as if they had been attempting to
make their escape. There were some found
in lofty chambers. But where did they fine

ing at the city gate with his hand still grasp
ing his war-weapon, where he had beer
placed by his captain; and there where the
heavens threatened him; there where the
earth shook beneath him; there where the
lava stream rolled, he stood at his post, and
there, after 1000 years had passed away
was he found. So let Christians learr
to stand to their duty, willing to stand at tn,
post on which their captain has placed them
and they will find that grace will suppor
and sustain them.

John Is. Coughs Farewell Oration in
London.


London.
The farewell of John B. Cough, who has
arrived in this country, is thus mentioned in
the London Netcs of the eth inst:
Yesterday evening this celebrated temper
ance orator delivered his farewell Grafton in
Exeter Hall, which was crowded. Mr.. George
Cruikshank presided, and having made few
remarks, Mr.. Cough rose and spoke with
great animation for an hour and half Mr..
Tweedle then stated that Mr.. Cough had that
night concluded his three years engagement
with the National Temperance League, hav-
ing, besides, spent a period equal TO one year
under the direction of the Scottish Temper
ance League, for whom he visited nearly
every town in Scotland and several Of the
more important towns of Ireland, holding
large meetings in each. He had delivered in
England 399 addresses averaging four ora
tions q week, and addressed to at least 500,-
600 hearers, of whom about $4,000 have
signed the pledge Of total abstinence.
A larger number, there was reason to be-
lieve, have also been led by his appeals to
become abstainers, who have not identified
themselves with the movement. Those who
have signed the pledge have been chiefly Of
the middle class, although many of the
upper have also joined, besides numbers Of
the working classes. Mr.. Samuel Bowly
presented an address to Mr.. Cough, in
which he was highly eulogised, and in which
hope was expressed that he would return
to England. The address was signed by Sil
Fitzroy Kelly, NJ. p, Mr.. Gurney, NJ. 2. Mr.
Padmore, NJ. P, Mr.. Crossley, NJ. p, Sir G
Strickland, and $50 other gentlemen. Mr.
Deputy-Judge Payne then presented Mr.
Cough with an elegantly-bound Bible, thu
gift of the persons who had signed thu
pledge after hearing him in Exeter Hall.

Manufacture of the Different Varieties OF
GIass. ....

The principal kinds of glass now manufac-
tured are, flint glass, or glass of lead; plate
glass, or glass of pure soda; crown glass, the
best window glass, and bottle or coarse green
glass. Flint glass is so named because the
siliceous ingredient was originally employed
in the form of ground flints. 1t is now COM
posed of 100 parts purified sand, sixty parts
lithrage or red lead, and thirty parts of puri-
fed pearlash. To correct the green color
derived from combustible matter, or oxyde
of iron, little black oxyde of manganese is
added, and some times inter and arsenic; the
fusion is usually accomplished in about
thirty hours.
For plate glass, good carbonate OF soda,
procured by decomposing common salt with
pearlash, is employed as the aux. The En-
glish crown, or fine window glass, is made
of sand, vitrifed by the impure barills, man
ufactured by incineration Of sea weed on the
Scotch and Irish shores. Broad glass is
made of mixture of soapboiler's waste,
kelp and sand, in various proportions two
of the waste, one of kelp and one Of sand
| form pretty good quality of broad glass
| Bottle glass may be made from mixture o
common sand and lime, with little common
clay and sea salt. ..5r n. ..

THE LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF LIFH.-
Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay on
Compensation" says:
Grief and joy--hope and fear-tears and
smiles-pain and pleasure-are all twins,
children OF the same mother, linked together
throughout the whole of humanity. No lot,
no country, no climate, no scene, no con-
dition in life may claim the enjoyment of
one, without the rebuking companionship Of
the other. No cloud, however, is without
its inner light. The blue sky still harbors
behind the canopy, ready with its sunshine,
and keeping the sad soul from being entirely
delivered to despair. No condition is so
lowly as to be without hope, no sorrow so
poignant and oppressive as not to permit the
consolation of some sweet ministers, inter-
posing at the right moment with compensa-
tion and perhaps delight. There is no such
thing as 'unmitigated evils; there is no such
thing as pleasure and joy without cloud or
qualification. We have only to open our
hearts to smile and sunshine; not turn our
backs, or shut our eyes to the angelic visitor
who is always sure to stand upon the thresh.
hold, whenever we deserve most need, and
are willing to give him welcome.
