SILENT INrLurScEs.-The Rev. Albert
Barnes saws:


Barnes says:
1t is the bubbling stream which flows
gently, the little rivulet which runs along,
day and night, by the farm house, that Is
useful, rather than the swollen food or war
ring cataract. Niagara excites our wonder,
and we stand amazed at the power and great
ness of God there as he ''pours in from the
hollow of his hand" But one Niagara in
enough for the continent or the world, while
the same world requires thousands and tens
of thousands of silver fountains and gently
flowing rivulets that water every farm, and
meadow, and every garden, and that, shall
flow on every day and night with their,gen-
tie, quiet beauty. So with the acts of our
lives. 1t is not by great deeds, like those of
the martyrs, that good is to be done,. but by
the daily and quiet virtues of life, the Chris
tian temper, the good qualities of relatives
and friends.

Men suffer more from plenty than want;
gluttony kills thousand where starvation
destroys. one. Man is naturally mortal, but
he is himself the weak and silly author OF
his in6rmities.

New Method of Rolling Iron.

OF making Improvements there is no end.
what seems the ne plus ultra Of one genera
ton is but all incipient step toward the pro-
ercss of the next New processes Of manu-
, ,'e'sra follow each other in rapid succession.
keeping pace with the ever increasing needs
OF a growing population A Characteristic of
modern inventions is the vast increase Of
power obtained by the new machinery which
they Introduce, lessening mahual labor and
rendering the hardest metals as piable MS
clay in the hands of the potter. A recent in.
ventlon of new method of rolling iron is one
OF the m.st important yet made for the work
ing OF this trnful metal 1t consists of pro.
cess ior rolling ron into irregular shapes, BIZ
which checkered ,prfacas, projections and
depressions tan be oHaincd with the samo
facility as plain surfaces have heretoforo
been produced. This resut il nccomnl;sbeS
by means of adjustable discs, of any desirable
pattern, placed upon, ordinary rollers, which
leave upon the bars drawn throlqh them the
impress of the figures which they>ear In
stead of solid rolls turned with grooes and
peripheries in the ordinary manner, Il. in.
ventor uses cast or wrought iron spndles, on
which are slipped cast iron or steel rings {,
discs, forming grooves and peripheries cores
ponding to those OF ordinary rolls, and sus-
ceptible of an almost infinite variety of COM
binatons. The spindlts are allowed to pro.
ject beyond the housings of one side, THIS
giving an opportunity for placing upon them
every variety of pattern discs, and requiring
but very few minutes to effect any desired
change. Thus one set of spindles, with their
accompanying discs. will do the work of a
large number Of rolls constructed in the old
solid form; and fractures of grooves or peri
pheries can be easily repaired without the
advantage which will be readily acknowledged
by all the iron workers. Unusual forms can
also be made quickly and chcaply, since it i'd
only necessary to cut the simple and compar.
ativcly inexpensive discs for them; whereas
by the old method entirely new rollers must
be made for each new form demanded, and i,
is impossible to obtain irregular surfaces.

The Reconstruction QnestiOn-In-
teryiew Between the President
and Iowa congressman.

The Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune writes:
In my last letter made allusion to the fact
that certain Western members of Congress
had an interview with the President since the
passage of Mr.. Wilson's resolution, during
which the subject of reconstruction was freely
discussed, and that their impressions as to
his future course had not been very favorable.
I confined myself to this general statement,
as did not at the time feel at liberty to go
into particulars. I am now permitted to give
the subjoned full version Of what took place
on the stated occasion.
Wr. Wilson, with whom frank, straightfpr.
ward action in all things is a leading charac.
tcristic, had been anxious for some time to
have an easy, free and full exchange Of opin.
ion with the President relative to reconstruc
ton. He desired to express his own views
upon the policy pursaed by the Government
toward the rebel States, which he knew to be
identical with those of the majority of the
House, with the utmost frankness to the Ex
ccutve, and, if possible, elicit from him O
clear definition Of the line Of action he meant
to- pursue toward Congress-whether he meant
to recognize the right of Congress to deter
mine upon the mode of recognizing and re
storing the rebel States to the Union accord
ing to the views Of the majority Of both Houses
| or whether his purpose was to bring the in
Auence of patronage, and other agencies al
his command, to bear, in order to secure an
Endorsement and adoption Of his own plan oi
Reconstruction.

their relief money in goods?

Marriages in Scotland.

There nre sever curious customs still used
in Scotland in regard to marriages, especially
in remote districts. The friends of the BRIDE
groom assemble at his residence, and proceed
TO that of the bride, where the clergyman
meets them, and the ceremony is performed.
They then proceed in procession, preceded by
fiddler, to the future residence OF the Young
couple. All the young men present start Of
at full speed ON foot or horseback, as the case
mny be- and the one who srss reaches the fu-
ture home Of the happy couple is said to have
won the broose and is entitled to salute the
bride or her arrival: and we believe original

latter custom, is not, however, necessarily
performed on the day Of marriage, if the mai
den kame Of the bride is at distance from
her future residence, but on her first arrival
thereat. In some large towns, such as Edin,
