A Touching Incident.

through So that great sores were all over his
back, and filthy beyond telling. One day.a
little before my visit, old Hannah, black

surgeon, went down :ho ward to hunt him

let me bring this man to my bed, to keep
him off the floor The doctor said, The
man IS dying; no will be dead Tomorrow
Tomorrow came, and old Hannah could
not rest. She went TO SEQ the man, and he
was still aliyo. Then she got some help,
took her bed, put the man on it, and CARR

him all over as woman washes baby,a

The Great Stevens Battery.
REVOLUTION IN IRON SHIP. BUILDING
PROMISED,

The New York papers say that. within
few weeks past, there have been import
ant experiments made in that city, which
will revolu,ionize, in a great measure, the
existing effort to make ships OF war i'm
pregnable. Mr.. Stevens, the inventor Of
the great hoaling battery, is the leading
mind in the matter. One account Of the
discovery says:
"Sone time since, being alive to the
important bearing which the new ordnance
discoveries and developments in Europe
would have upon the future construction
OF armored vessels, he sent specially 10
the Eastern hemisphere a gentleman of
large practical knowledge Of such things
10 investigate anal yticaIly the progress
made by inventors Of ships and guns
That gentleman is now in America, and
has given valuable account of bis ex2e-
rieEce. The lacts collected by him, and
the results OF ordnance trials at home,
have partially convinced Mr.. Stevens that
there is now no iron-clad vesse! in the
world imperyious 10 the shot that might
be hurled against it. Urged by this con.
clusion, he endeayored TO find out, by
the exercise Of bis creative faculties, il a
ship could not be rendered really impreg-
nab!e. The labor spent in trying has not
been los;, and there is reason 10 believe
that before long New York harbor will.
il the authorities wish it, be protected by
a craft which can defy Warriors and La
Gloires.
"The experiments alluded 10 have been
going on privately, as publicity would
defeat the object oi the inventor. The
success which has attended them, how
ever, will lead almost Immediately to &C.
live measures of importance.

ports the case OF gentleman thirty years

tions a woman who spent three,fourths of
her life in sleep, and DR. Elliotson quotes q
case of n young lady who slept for six weeks
and recovered. The venerable st. Agus-
tine prudently divided his hours into three

G. W. S:

READ your county paper before you

over it hastily to see fany of their friends

away goes the poor paper into the iire or
behind the counter. Read it, and become
better informed. Read it, and learn to
