ORIGIN OF ALMANACs.-Vestegan,
alluding TO our ancient Saxon an
cestors says:
They used to engrave upon GER
tain squared stricks, about a foot
in length, the courses of the moons
of the whole year, whereby they
could always certainly tell when
the new moons, the full moons, and
the change should happen, as also
their festival dates ; and such n
carved stick they called an almond
aght that is to say 'almon-heed ,
to wit, the regard Of observation of
all the moons; and hence is deriv-
ed the name of almanac" After
the invention of printing, almanacs
soon became generally il use. The
first recorded account in England
of an almanac is in the Year Book
of Henry the Seventh.

How EVERY ONE NAY PREACH -
All cannot preach from the pulpit,
but there IL = kind of preaching
that ia permitted to all men, and
oftentimes this kind ia most eilec-

denying love TO our fellow.beings,
spripging from our love 70 God,

the world around us, that we have

are called on in this way TO preach
the gospel-snd woe TO them if

How Circular Saws ARE Cur
Richmond Enquirer, reporting a
visit to a number of large saw
making establishments in that city,
thus describes the process of cut
ting circular saws, for lumber mills
The plates for circular saws are
imported from Sheffield, England
These plates vary from to ~ in
ches in diameter. When received
they are rough and unpublished ,
entirely round, but without teeth
cut in them. The first step is to
take the rough plate and cut teeth
in ia process which, among saw
makers, is called "toothing-" The
next thing ia to file the teeth smooth
aud cut shaft-holes in the centre Of
the plate. II is then ready for
hardening, or teinpering, which ia
done by putting it in large fur
mace or oven, heated with bitumi-
nous coal or wood, so constructed
that il distributes the heat evenly
over the whole surface Of the plate.
When the plate comes 10 n read
heat, it ia taken from the oven and
put in q sheet iron vat or keeve,
containing a mixture of sperm oil,
tallow. rosin and beeswsx.
The plate is left in the vat until
the temper is drawn TO proper
degree for cutting wood il is then
taken out and left to cool in the
open air, and is then ready for
Strengthening or making entirely
level, which is done by careful y
hammering on an anvil The next
process is grinding or smoothing
the plate, which ia done by attach.
ing the plate with its surface fiat
to large grindstone, which re-
wolves on a horizontal axle, snoth-
err grindstone at the same time re-
volving on horizontal axle, so
that the edge of the stone has on
its revolution a friction against the
surface Of the plate. The saw is
then ready for market.
From two to three saws are pol
isbed in day. A circular saw Of
70 inches in diameter is about a
quarter of an inch thick, and weighs
about $50 pounds To work such
saw an engine Of about sixteen
horse power ia required.

ef. and Che great world in which
we have liberty to choose what
part we may, and play il out as we
like. We come upon the stage
head foremost and go out Ivy the
beels--we cry awhile; laugh q
brief period; fret for space, grow
old in order TO play the FOOLS part
over again, aud after time has
stripped us of Our smooth skin;
dimmed the eye of its luster--pal-
sled the arm and torn the locks

make our exit; the green curtain
goes down; the foot-lights GO out;
the prompter; oall-boy and scene

an echo. and all is again as il was,
before we came.

because he cannot give them ex-

belief that there is much more to
laugh at in the great drama, than
to cry at. Yet just here. at this
crisis in National affairs, we feel
that in order to give expression TO

in before us--we are called on to
take a stand of antagonism against
