" So Run that Ye May Obtain"
Run well thy race,
Though flesh and heart and soul combine,
To lure thee, from the course divine,
Turn not aside, cease not the strife,
But runing, win eternal life.
BE not cast down no faithful soul
Hath ever failed to reach the goal.
All racers in this course shall win,
However slow, or late begin.
The dullest courser o'er the ground,
Shall make the goal and then he crowned,
Provided he by rule contend,
And running stop not, of the end.
Where moat or mound or shard may lay,
To trip thy feet, or block thy way,
Where lions growl, or vulture swoop,
Let not thy speed nor spirits droop;
Or when through loss Of strength or zeal,
Thou lag behind, o then appeal
BY PRAYER to Him. who neer denies.
To weary ones, all true supplies,
BE not o'ercome, be not cast down,
Let no swift racer take thy crown,
Run ,oeH thy race.

A HARD HEAD.-An old gentleman
was relating a story of one of your "half-
horse, halfaligator," St. Lawrence boat
men. Says he; 'He has hard head
for he stood under an oak in thunder
storm, when the lightning struck the tree,
and he lodged it seventeen times, when
finding he could not dodge it any longer,
he stood and took nine claps in succession
on his head, and never finched."

The principal features of this invention are here
with explained. The pump, A, l. immersed In the

On tile up stroke the water rises into the chamber
through the valve G.. aud the contents OF the
cylinder above are compelled to escape through the
channel, II, into the hollow rod, III the manner
shown by the arrows. As the piston returns, the
valve in the bottom Of 1t seats ITSELF and closes the
aperture, the valve G, closing, and the valve
&, opening, water from the well enters Ivy the
channel wav, h, while the water u The bottom of
the piston escapes up the rod through the pipe to
the vessel placed there to receive t.
The patent for this invention was procured or
March ., 1863, by Andrew J. Reynolds, Of Dayton,
Ohio persons desiring further information can
au'UcHS MN ut tUal pace.
These pumps are desirable in many places,
they will force water to considerable distance.
The position Of the apparatus beneath the surface
of the well renders it impossible that 1t should
freeze except under extraordinary circumstances
and all the working parts seem to he put together
IN n substantial manner. There are no pipes tn
burst in winter, and rs the pump is always full of
water, it Is unnecessary to work the breaks halt
an hour before producing any results.
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE ONO PUMPS ARE:
First--Its cheapncss and durability. Second
Its certainty OF action at all times, the Pump
working entirely UNDER WATER, preserves it
from rusting, and requires no packing or printing,
Tlird-lhe most important point to which we
wish to call attention, is the fact that so WATER
CAN STAND IL THE FIFE, when the pump is not in
WINTER thus making q perfect protection against
frost. Fourth--Bv attaching hose l. is great
protection against fire, and very useful in watering
