Hasten Slowly.

! Keep cool: don't hurry Too much
hurry, high pressure rate of speed in
all things is the bane of our American
life We walk. work, eat. drink and sleep
/ too fast. We 60 through life with rush
and hardly take time to die and be bur
/ led quietly. Our busin ess men are 'driv
en- to death, our ladies are worked into
a condition of constant neuralgia and
nervous headache, our young people
whirl along the giddy course of pleasure
and dissipation like jockeys riding a
steeple. chase, our very children have no
time to be careless and happy and natur-
al, they have week day schools, and Sun
day schools, and public exhibitions, and
monthly concerts, and all sorts of shows
and parades to be studied and dressed
and practiced for, till the poor little crea-
lures are as hurried and worn and har-
rassed as their elders.
We say that ours is fast age, and we
say it as if we thought it was something
especially meritorious and desirable that
it should be SO. This is fearful mis-
take The speed at which we live in
wolves a fearful waste of the vital forces,
shortening of the actual term Of life and
narrowing of the range of our enjoyments
and our usefulness, as needless as it is
wicked. 1t is mistake to think that
the, pleasures or the duties of an average
term of life can be crowded into a few
brieffeverish years, that the powers and
capacities with which the Creator has en-
dowed us were intended to be burned up
in that way A man has no right to
bring all his powers, all his thoughts,
and all his time as sacrifice to the No
loch of business. Some portion of each
is due to rest, to thought, to prayer, to
recreation, to family and social inter
course and cultivation Of all those thous
and nameless amenities and courtesies
which make life pleasant and graceful.
These are as much duties as an obedi-
ence to the dec alogue or to the laws of
the land, and failure to observe them
is sure TO bring its fitting punishment in
character deteriorated, health impaired,
happiness diminished, and life cut short
when it should be but begun.
Visit any one of our Iunatic asylums
and inquire the causes which have
brought its inmates here, and you will be
astonished at the numb er who are mere
ly the victims to overwork and hurry.
Physicians will tell you not only that the
proportion of such cases is appallinglv

used up, and when the brain gives out
under the protracted high pressure there
is nothing to fall hack upon. Only death
can end tn hopeless mental darkness,
which might have been wholly avoided
by tolerable degree of attention to ma
lures laws, by more moderation in .busi-
ness, and by abstaining from the fatal
folly of too much hurry.

Business enterprise does not mean pa

price of the merchants goods, and the
ability Of the professional man, before
they will patronize either class In short
the magic of business is to advertise,
and every man that succeeds must re-
sort to it in some way or other. OF course
mere advertising will not make business
qualities, but it will bring within the
reach of those who desire success for

Experiments with a New Gun.

Some interesting experiments with
Gattling's improved battery gun have
been in progress at Fortress Monroe for
the past three weeks, under the super
vision Of the Ordnance Department, and
the results speak most fayorably for the
new projectilc. Most of the expert
ments have been made in conjunction
with a twenty four FOUNDER flank defense
howitzer. Where the howitzer throwing
canister hit the target once the missiles
from this gun hit it six times. both At
short and loEg range, the former from
three hundred to four hundred yards
distant, and the latter at distance of
from one and a half to two miles. The
howitzer did not shoot at long range.
This gun is revolving gun of six
chambers, and capable of shooting one
hundred times minute. At short
range it throws fifteen one half inch
balls, contained in each cartridge, and
| cap ball, making sixteen missiles at each
discharge, and sixteen hundred missiles
minute. At long range it fired a half
pound of Minnie balls. Its capacity to
| load and FIRE necessarily while revolving,
its freedom from foulness, and its accu-
racy have astonished every one witness
ing the experiments. Three men can
manage it, and its cost will not exceed
that of the ordinary cannon The in
ventor proposes not to give any other
nation the benefit of his invention, wheth-
er our Government adopts it or not

The Sabbath in California.

A. California correspondent of tue
Boston Advertiser writes as follows:
..Another thing which strikes the la
tely arrived emigrant from New Eng
land as entirely unlike home habits, is
is the almost entire disregard
of the Sabbath Stores are open, mills
and mines in full operation, and, except
that it is moro of a holiday, there is little
to distinguish it from any other day of
the week In San Francisco, it is true,
there are many churches supported by
wealthy and numerous congregations,
but it is nevertheless fact that in the
mines, almost without exception, the
work is pursued the same as on any 9th
er day, and workingmen have told ne
they have not had Sunday OFF, for
six or seven years in some cases. Some
of the new companies about commenc-
ing operations in Nevada, and whose
stockholders for the most part are Eas-
tern men propose to run their mills and
work their mines but six days in the
week, believing that they shall lose moth
ing in the end by allowing the workme en-
day of rest; but it is asserted BY the
managers and superintendents of those
which have been longest in operation
that the cost of stopping the work Is toe
great; and they predict with great unan.

they will have 70 come down to working

FACTORIES SoUTH Alabama paper
says: 1--WE hear of factories springing
up all over the country. At Camden,
Wilcox county, a wealthy company have
taken the initiatory steps to erect large
building, and fill it with the most ap-
proved machinery. At Carrollton, Miss,
a factory is now in operation, which in
short time will employ one hundred and
eighty spindles. In MarenGo county
they are making arrangements TO manu-
facture on a large scale. At Cuba Sta
tor, Sumter county, factory is shortly
to be in operation. These are few of
the indications that the South will soon
become filled with factories. The results
of the war, in throwing capital into an
entirely new channel, the facilities of
easy intercommunication, abundance Of
material to be used in manufacturing,
contiguity to the said material, equability
of temperature, and . thousand other
facts, point out this region as the future
home of the factory zesaias teaaaa
