An Ingenious Relic.

An army letter gives the following account
of the bulldiDg OF very small steam engine
by two privates of New York regiment, the
materials of which were picked upin different
parts OF Virginia and suited to their proper
places at the leisure OF the builders.
The length of this piece of Yankee ingenu-
ity is fourteen inches, and its height ten inch
es, and though SO small, yet it works beauti-
fully. The bedplate, small plate, was taken
from mill at Port Royal. The cylinder bed,
on which the builders name is generally en-
graVed, was taken from a small engine used
for washing gold at the gold mills on the Rap
idan river. The way stand is made from a
piece of the balance beam OF Fairbanks scales
The cylinder is made from piece of mus
ket barrel. The steam whistle is composed of
several pieces the head the mouth piece Of a
bugle, the cap cartridge of Spencer's repeat
ing rifle, and the knob the tip of a bayonet
scabbsrd. The hut of the fly wheel is the
plug of shell fuse, The four spokes are
MAGE from Springfield musket ramrod, the
rim from centre table taken atSpottsylvania at
Court House. The safety valve is another
piece OF bugle, helped out by piece of light
ming rod taken from mill at Rappahannock
Station. The beam of the valve is the buckle
of cavalryman filed down, the weight akno b
OF bureau drawer from SpottsylVania Court
House. Two trycocks from Fairbanks scales,
taken from happanannock STATION. The boil
er is made from common oil can, the fur
nace IRON camp-kettle, as also the smoke
stack. The frame upon which the whole rests
Is mahogany, made from piano taken from
the house of major in the rebel army. The
rests or legs to the frame were taken from a
pair of andirons from the same house. The
rests Of the boiler came from snare drum
When we take into account the scarcity ol
materials and tools to make such nice piece
of mechanism, and the length of time taken
to complete it--being under process of con-
etruction for nearly three years--it certainly
becomes quite curiosity, and one that would
prove a valuable acquisition in the way OF his
toIical records and relics. fa

The Eleventh Commandment,

new commandment give unto you that ye love on,
another.-John xiii. "a. nsFtz
One Saturday evening beggar appeared al
the parsonage of John rutherford, in the quiet
village of Amworth, Scotland, and asked Tor q
lodging. The minister's good wife with Chris.
tian hospitality bade him welcome to warm
place beside the kitchen fire, while she, accord
ing to her Saturday evening custom, catechis-
ed her servants. 3 fa
Observing the beggar to be very attentive,
the lady thought she would put question to
him. So she asked,- afsoa
My friend, can you tell me how many com
mandments there are ?"
Eleven" replied the beggar, unhesitatingly.
"Eieven" echoed Mrs. Rutherford, shocked
at his ignorance. So she gave him his supper,
and dismissed him to his attic bed. = /.
On inquiring for the beggar in the morning,
Mrs. Rutherford was told by servant that be
went away quite early. Shortly after a man
arrived who was introduced at breakfast by
Mr.. Rutherford as the minister who was 10
preach at Amworth that day. y
Mrs. Rutherford had forgotten the circum-
stance OF the beggar of the night before; so
what was her surprise, on attending church,
to hear the preacher give out for his text the
words, "a ne,c commandment give unto you,
tnat ye love one another" and to open his dis
course by remarking, "Thjs may be called the
eleventh commandment
The beggar of Saturday night was the
preacher of Sunday; and the preacher of Sum
day was no less man than Archbishop Usher.
whose historical, religious and chronological
works have made him so celebrated.
