Surance Company, l~abouring in the same

Its career, during a period of 20 years,

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT IN ELEc-
TRIcIrY.-Procure four glass tumblers
or common glazed teacups, and having
wiped them dry as possible, hold them
over the fire to evapo-ate any moisture
which may still adhere to their surface
for if there is the least moisture it makes
a connection and spoils the experiment.
Place them upon the floor in a square,
about one foot apart, place piece Of
board upon the tumblers, and have a
person standing upon the board. Now
take common rubber comb, and having
wound piece of silk around one end of
it, rub it hriskly through your hair, and
draw tho teeth parallel to the insulated
persons knuckles, leaving little space
between the comb and the persons head.
The result will be sharp, cracking
noise, and if dark there will be seen a
succession of sparks. Repeat the process
until the phenomena cease. The person
is now acharged" with electricity the
same as Leyden jar. To draw off the
electricity, approach your knuckle to the
persons hands or his nose (being careful
not to allow any portion of your body to
come in contact with his, and there will
be loud snap, and the sparks will be
very brilliant. If cat be held so that
the charged person can place his knuck-
les in proximity with the animals nose,
it will suddenly appear as if it were in
contact with an electric battery A glass
bottle may be used in lieu of comb, but
it is not as we'll adapted for the purpose.
Much amusement may be derived from
this extremely simple experiment, and
some of our numerous young readers will
hasten to try it for themselves Journal

se AT SALEM.-While in Salem the
other day we took occasion 20 measure a
good deal of sidewalk in getting square
look at the capital of Oregon. Since our
last visit, Salem has taken vast strides
in growth and prosperity. On every
hand are to be found evidences of sub
stantial improvements, in the shape OF
whole blocks of new brick and frame edi-
fees, some of them showing rare taste
and great outlay of cash in their con-
struction. One of the principal features
that lend attraction to our sister city, is
her broad and elegant streets, reminding
one somewhat of the city of magnificent
distances, Washington City. Another
"big thing" is the park, or grove of oaks
in which the celebration ori the Goth was
held, the title to which has recently been
confirmed to the city by the Courts.
Altogether We are proud of her intelli-
gence, her enterprise and public spirit,
the beauty and elegance of her structures,
and kind and noble e-hearted generosity of
her citizens, as manifested to strangers
within her gates on Monday last. May
no spirit of envy or jealousy ever inter
vene to mar the kindly feelings now ex-
isting between her citizens and ours.

WAITING ron TIE SPRING.

As breezes stir the morning,
AS silence reigns in air
Steel blue the heavens above me,
Moyeless the trees and bare
Yet unto me the stiffness
This burden seems 10 bring
Patience! the earth is waiting,
Waiting for the SPRING"
Strong ash and sturdy chestnut,
Rough oak and poplar high,
Stretch out their sapless branches
Against the wintry sky.
Even the guilty aspen
Hath ceased her quivering.
As though she too were waiting.
Waiting for the Spring.
l STRAIN mine ears to listen,
IL haply where l stand
But one stray note Of music
May sound in all the land,
"Why art thou mute, o blackbird? e?
y thrush, why dost not sing?
All surely they are waiting,
Waiting for the Spring."
o heart thy days are darksome
Oh heart thy nights are drear;
But soon shall streams of sunshine
Proclaim the turning year.
Soon shall the trees be leafy,
Soon every bird shall sing;
Let them be silent waiting,
Waiting for the Spril 6.
