Who, looking backward from his manhood's
prime. 81 5sa ~
Sees not the sphere of his misspent time?
And, through the shade
OF funeral cypress planted thick behind,
Hears no reproachful whisper of the wind
From his loved dead?
Who bears no trace OF PASSIONS evil force !?
Who shuns thy sting, o terrible remorse?
Sefl- Who does not cast sls
On the thronged pages of his memory's book,
At times, sad and half-reluctant look,
Regretful of the past?
Alas the evil which we fain would shun
We do, and leave the wished-for good undone.
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrow's weakness, prone to fall ;
Poor, blind, Improbable servants all
Are we slway.
Yet who, thus looking backward o'er his
years,
Feels not his eyelids wet with grateful tears,
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was,
To cheer and aid, in some ennobling cause,
His fellow-mcn?
If he hath hidden the outcast, or let in
A ray of sunshine to the cell of sin
If he hath lent
Strength to the weak. and, in hour of need,
Over the suffering, mindless of his creed
Or bone, hath bent
He has not lived in vain. And while he gives
The praise to Him in whom he moves and
lives,
With thankful heart,
He gazes backward, and with hope before,
knowing that from his works he neyermore
Can henceforth part.

BURG, Pa. THURSDAY. AUGUST 10. 1869.

Franklin had done before him, with his
roll under his arm, he sought and obtained
employment.
Ferhaps the happiest day of Toms life
was when he found himself in an anti
quarlan book store with plenty of leisure,
plenty of books, and nothing to fear from
friend or foe. 1t was wonderful how he
read-and read. The parched earth does
not more greedily take in the summer rain.
When his intellectual thirst was parti-
ally satisfied, he began to work. He saw
the ladder up which he must climb, and
seizing the lowest round he made his way
steadily upward. We all know by what
steps an ambitious man makes progress
by patient toil-by self denial-by eourte-
Gus deportment-by constant acquisition
of knowledge.
Years passed by, during all of which
Tom had looked in vain for his early friend,
the stranger. In his timid awkwardness,
he had not thought to ask the name of his
benefactor, and the only opportunity to do
so had been lost.
Well, years slid away, and Tom was
elected member of Congress from the very
county where he spent his struggling boy
hood. He went to Washington, not in
cowhide shoes and butternut colored home
spun, but dressed something as magma
tion had pictured, as he looked after his
benefactor on the eventful day of the
sleigh ride.
A nobler looking man the ladies in the
galleries said never had appeared upon
the floor than this Yankee member, who,
If he spoke through his nose, always drove
his arrows home to the mark.
One day there appeared in the House
the venerable form of an ex-member
whom all present delighted to honor. Il
needed but one glance at that genial face
for Tom to recognize the giver of the Latin
grammar. He had come, he said, to lister
to the gentleman who had so manfully de
Tended the right, and to wish him Coo
speed.
i IL" said Tom, with his old modesty
eff it has been my good fortune to do any
thing for our country in the hour of he
peril, owe my ability to do SO in a grea
measure to yourself"
ITO me % exclaimed the astonishe
gentleman 'to me do not recollec
ever having had the pleasure of meetin
you before in my life.''

HOW TOM GOT TO CONGRESS-.

There was a little fellow among the New
England hills, years ago, as there are
many now, whose parents were poor. he
| could not remember tho time when he
wore shoes and stockings in the summer.
Sometimes in the winter, when he was.
obliged to walk three miles to school, and
ada hrnl1esh snnzudriffe .ha+ 1iA nnt=ir,elt
until the last of May, he did wear such as
his father rejected pair of shoes that
slipped up and down at every step he took.
Nevertheless, they were shoes and stock
ings and he was infinitely prouder of
them than any king living is Of his throne
and scepter.
One day, as Tom was plodding along
with his s!ipshod shoes, putting from exer-
ton, and blowing his blue fingers to keep
them warm, there came dashing down the
hill a sleigh such as the youngster had
never seen-no, indeed, nor never dreamed
Of And the horse Tom stopped blow
ing, so intense was his admiration Of the
elegant creature that came foaming and
tossing his daintiy -arched neck right and
left.
Tom sprang aside at the very last mo-
mcnt, and as he sank up to his chin IN the
light snow, he tore his old cloth cap from
his head ard bobbed up and down as if he
were in the presence of the President.
Jump on behind, my lad p shouted
the driver, ''jump on behind ~
And Tom did jump on, at the peril Of
his life, and away they went, tearing along
with great speed, until over went the
sleigh, and out went the riders and buffa-
loes and things generally
Tom sprang to the horses head, and
clinging to the bits, the tips of his great
cowhide shoes barely touching the snow,
asked if the gentleman was hurt.
''Not bit of it, my lad,' said he, sha-
king himself free of the snow ''only
warmed up little. WHATS the damage
any 2"
Nothing, sir, that / can see, returned
Tom, his handsome face glowing with good
humor as he yielded the horse to its owner.
"Well, then, my lad, get in, and well
try again. You are going to school, l
see" added the stranger, as he gathered
up the reins.

'Guess tits about two miles from here"
The gentleman turned and looked into
his face, and then glanced all over his fig
ure, even to his feet.
"He sees my Shoes" thought Tom,
proudly, givingsthem shake forward to
make certain that they should be seen.
The gentleman did see them, and smiled
in spite of himself as he glanced back at
Toms face.
He then kindly pulled the warm furs
around the boy, and, pulling his cap over
his ewes. shouted-"Go along Nell y
And the chestnut mare, now thoroughly
sobered, mcekly commenced the ascent OF
what was known thereabouts as the ''long
hill" She was evidently accustomed to
having her own way, for she availed her
self of every little hollow to rest, and did
not allow herself to be pressed forward
until the whip was applied.
Tom wondered what had possessed the
creature few minutes before. He scratch
ed his head on the right side, and then on
the left. and finally, his Yankee curiosity
getting the better of his difhdence, he

EVERY person who has q knowledge
Of chemistry is aware that water con-
tains all the clements necessary to pro
duce heat or make burning gas, and
chemists have for years been trying to
devise some method of making heat and
gas from water which should be so cheap
as to make it practicable. Such an
achievement has been accomplished by
Mr. \. J. Griffin, and by q process so
simple and economical as to excite the
wonder Of all. His invention is at pres
ent on exhibition at No. 12l Bank street
and every one who has any use for gas
or heat-and that means every individ-
uaI-should not lose the opportunity of
seeing the working of this machine.
The AerivapOr, HydrO-Carbon Burner,
as it is called, consists of only two re-
ceivers, and few feet ofirOn pipe. One
Of these receivers is filed with water,
the other with any kind of oil, and by
allowing the water and oil to pass
through the tubes to a common meeting
place, where they are ignited, the most
intense heat possible can be obtained.
The tubes are cOiIed around the bottom
Of the machine, and being heated, de-
compose the oil and water while they
pass through and act on precisely the
same principal as the compound blow
pipe. To start q fire it is only necessary
to heat the tubes by q wick saturated
with alcohol for q few seconds, and then
opening the valves, allow the waterand
oil to flow down by its own weight to
the meeting point, where they are light
ed, and the machine afterward regulates
itself. 1t is impossible to write des-
criptiOn it Of which viii convey to the
reader an adequate idea Of the cheap
ness and simplicity Of the invention.
Professor Kendall, the chemist, calls it
the greatest invention, and says that
the telegraph is not to be compared with
it. No one should fail to see its opera
