The Mind.


The damp of years may quench
The brightness Of thine eye;
Times icp hand may blaDch
The cheek s vermilioD dye ;
Thy form may lose its grace
Thy voice its sweet control
But naught can e'er efface
The beauties OF thy soul.
What's beauty bat flower
That blooms in summers ray
When pours the wintery shower,
It's charms will fade away
The minds a rich perfume
That winter connot chill /:
The flowers may lose its bloom,
But the fragrance Tigers still.
Stars gem the vault Of heaven
When days last hues decline
AS darker grows the even,
With brighter rays they shine
Thus, in the night of years,
When youths gray light is DER,
More bright the soul appears,
Than e'er it shone before.
The leaves when autumn busters,
Forsake the tree and die,
But falling, show rich clusters
OF fruitage to the eye
Thus time, 10 flying, snatches
Thy beauty, but displays
One charm that all 'ermatches-
A soul that ne'er decays.

Success OF New Experiment In Naval
E-. Armor.

Armor.
A few months since the papers gave
an account Of some experiments made at
st Louis, with new kind of iron plat
ing, which, though not more than one inch
thick, wrq mott penetrated by cannon
short Few particulars were given, and
the statements were regarded as idle tales
by most But the report of Commander
Pin excites not only curiosity but astonish.
ment
The gunboat Essex. which he com
mands, that attacked the Arkansas under
the batteries at Vicksbnrg, and has since
destroyed her near Baton Rouge, is clad
with iron plates one inch thick, placed over
India Rubber also one inch in thick
ness
Com Porter says in his Report that
the Essex in the attack upon the Arkan.
Sas at VickSburg, was two hours and a
half under fire of seventy heavy guns in
battery, twenty field pieces and III ee
heavy guns on board the ram During
that time this vessel was heavily struck
forty two lines and only penetrated twice
He also says that a solid ten inch shot
struck my forward easement about nine
feet from the deck, but fortunately did not
penetrate" A seven and a hafinch rife
shot penetrated the iron but did not get
through, and concal shell pierced the
iron but not he wood work behind, though
it broke through in bursting
Now, when we remember that such
shot as above described went through the
Galena's armor, aud that the eleven inch
shot goes through plate -four and hall
inches thick il seems almost beyond be
lief that a gnnboat with an Armor of ouly
one inch in thickness. could receive such
fire as Commodore Porter describes, and
yet be pierced but twice. Full credit
however, must be given 10 an official report
! from such man as Commodore Porter, anG
the public will be very anxious to know
more of the Essex, and her newly inyente1
armor. Such an armOr might work au
other revolution in naval architecture.

knew the fallacy of their claims, but chose to
observe silence until the figures f-the official
canvassers should demonstrate the actual
truth. Such figures are now at hand. That
the democratic journals will print them we
cannot hope they have exhausted themselves
in reproducing in dozen forms the statement
that in the home vote for Congress in Wis
