STRIKETHE KNoT.-"Strike the knott
said gentleman one day to his son, who
tired and weary, was leaning on his axe
over log which he had in vain been try
ing to cleave. Then, looking at the log
the gentleman saw how the boy had hack

out hitting it. Taking the axe, he struck
a few sharp blows on the knot, and split
the log without difficulty. Smiling, he
returned theaxe to his son, saying
"Always strike the knot J"

you hard sum to do at school? Have
you got to face a difficulty? Are you
leaving home to live for the first time

shrink from painful duty, but step right
up to it and do it. Yes, strike the knot
Strike the knot boys and girls, and you

WATER WHEEL.
uedelss Patent American
DOUBLE TURBINE WATER WHEEL,
Aianufacturedf ct Baltimore, Maryland by
POOLE & HUNT,


The Subscribers would introduce to the pub
4ic the above Wheel, Of which they are the
sole agents in this State as the best economi-
.-zersof water known, and pledge themselves to
! furnish wheels of this description, that will
at least equal in efficiency the best over-shot
wheel in existence. Among the excellencies
of this wheel may be enumerated the follow
ing.
lst. It is cheaper than any other wheel OF
the same power.
I'd. From its small size and diminished
friction, it has one-third more motion than
any wheel of the same power.
3D. 1t will use more or less water. and with
the same percentage Of power to the amount
of water used
hh. 1t can never be frozen up or affected
by frost in any way. ~
9Th. 1t has given the highest effect due to
the head and amoant of water used. of apy
wheel on record as tested by competent civil
engineers.
9th. 1t is completely finished before leaving
the place of manufacture, and adjusted io,.
running. and enclosed il an iron case, reeuir-
ing only to be coupled to the water wheels haft.
Circulars containing cuts. explanations and
testimonials may be had upon application to

A COOP SHOT FROM CAPTAIN SEMMEs.-
Captain Semmes, of the sunken rebel ship
Alabama, goes for surrender to Congress,
to plead the constitution against the laws Of
Congress as Southern Confederacy man: for,
says he, if you mean the Confederate constitu-
ton, it is defunct, and you mean the FEEDER
al constitution, we repudiated that, and have,
therefore, no right to become its expounders.
Such q shot as that between wind and water
would have settled the Kearsarge.- Nev York

city will be on exhibition in the shape Of an

animal, when ready for the road, will travel
twenty five miles without stopping, and after
wards may be wound up in few moments to
20 as much farther, and so on indefinitely.

WHAT MAKES YOUNG MEN DRUNK,
ARDs-Go with us to the public houses,
where number of young men are assem-
bled All is life and gayety. A few among
them may be young and timid. They APP
proach the counter, and wine, rum and
brandy are called for. One or two stand
back, and say, no gentleman, we don't
drink please excuse us. Immediately
the rest turn and begin to taunt their
friends who refuse to drink, saying they
are afraid of getting tight Of the "old
man." and some whisper audibly: "Well
they are mean fellows; they are afraid
they will have to spend dime p Here
you see two very sensitive nerves are
ouched-Courags and Cleverness. Their
bosoms swell with pride; rather then bear
these filings of companions, they stand up
to the counter and join in the revelry.
The ice is now broken, the first great act
ofthe drama performed. Others follow
! in natural order, until the individual who
refused to drink at first, reels along the
public street without shame.
This is the manner in which thousands
Of our promising young men are led away
by falseambition and thousands morewill
follow in their path unless they learn the
meaning Of courage.
We have in our mind number Of no.
bic hearted, good meaning men, who do
not possess strength enough to face oppos-
ition. Rather than be called mean they
will follow up these habits of drinking
until the appetite became uncomfortable.
We advise you young men, when you
are in company, and solicited to drink in
toxicating liquors, to say frankly and de-
cidedly that you do not indulge in such
