The imitation of walnut, according
to Stabenrauch, is best attained by treat
ing the wood first with fustic Zone pound
to ten pints Of water and afterwards
with solution of Chloride of iron, Of
four degrees Beaume. This chloride is
prepared by introducing into a mixture
of two parts Of hydrochloric acid and
one Of nitric acid as much green yitriol
or copperas as the liquid will take up.
The solution is accelerated by stirring
the mass with an old piece of iron,
which itself becomes dissolved.

In testing large east-iron pipes, the
ends are usually closed tight. with plates,
and water pumped into them, method
open to the objection that the plates are
expensive and difficult to fit, and that
much time is lost in filing and empty
ing the pipe. A modification Of the
process has been introduced by an Eng
iish founder. A second closed pipe, OF
onlv slightly less diameter, Is intro
duced into the first one, the ends OF
which are then closed, and the water IS
then injected--the whole trial being ae-
complished in a comparatively very
short time.

He Died Poor.

" 1t was a sad funeral to me-, said the
speaker the saddest | have attended for
many years.
That Of Edmonson ?"
Yes"
" How did he die2"
Poor-poor as poverty. His life was
one long struggle with the world, aud at
every disadvantage. Fortune Knocked him
all the while with golden promises that were
destined never to know fulhIlment'
ct he was patient and enduring re-
marked one of the company.
" Patient as a Christian-enduring as a
martyr" was answered. Poor man He
was worthy Of better fate. He ought to
have succeeded, for he deserved success"
Did he not succeed?n questioned the one
who had spoken ofhs patience and endurance.
No, sir, He died POOR as | have just
said. Nothing that he put his hand to ever
succeeded. Strange fatality seemed to attend
every enterprise"
4" vas with him in his last moments" said
the other, " and thought he died rich"
No, he has left nothing behind, was re-
piled. The heirs will have no concern as
TO the administration of his estate"
f" He left a good name," said one, " and
that is something"
Aud legacy of noble deeds that were
done in the name of humanity" remarked
another.
" And precious examples" said third.
A." Lessons of patience in sufferings of
hope in adversely; of heavenly confidence,
when no sunbeams fell upon his bewildering
path" was the testimony of another.
Aud high truth, manly courage, heroic
fortitude.n
Then he died rich !" was the emphatic
declaration. Richer than the millionaire
who went to his long home on the same day,
a miserable pauper in all but gold. A sad
funeral, did you say2 No, my friend it was
rather a triumphant procession Not the
burial Of a human clod, but the ceremonies
attendant on the translation Of an angel. Did
not succeed Why, his whole life was a Sc
ries of successes. In every conflict he came
off the victor, aud now the yictor's crown is
on his brow. Any grasping, soulless selfish
man, with moderate share of brains, may
gather in money, and learn the art of keep
ine it, but not one in hundred can bravely
conquer in the battle Of life as Edmonson has
conquered, and step forth from the ranks of
men, a Christian hero. No, no he did not
die poor, but rich--rich in neghborly love
and rich in celestial affections, And his heirs
have an interest in the administration of his
affairs. A large property has been left, and
let them see to il that they do not lose pre-
cious things through false estimates and iguo-
rant depreciations." "
You have new way of estimating the
wealth of a man, said the Que who had first
expressed sympathy for the deceased.
{" Is il not the right wayf was answered

Poetry shall lend me her rose-garland.
and music her charm and the spirit Of
melody shall speak from myriad harps TO
sound my praises, and witch the world with
the idle dream that | am the inspircr of
mirh and the soul of happiness and all good
iclIowship-and if there be one Of all that
glorious race, for whom yon planets, from
their golden urns pour down their silent ever.
lasting cataract Of light, who excels his fel.
lows, will lure him with song and visions Of
beauty, and strew his path with rose-leayes,
till at last he shall walk needless into my
tolls And, once my slave, though thou
sand should weave the heart-strines around
him, and weep tears Of blood, he shall, 10 all
his pride and beauty, sink deeper and deeper,
and in trbulation aud anguish unutterable,
dig his own pathway down to hell. | will
be at the ieasts Of all the great and the wise
OF earth where rank and fashion reign SUI
prcmc-whcre forms not less beautiful than
hose Of heaven, move to celestial harmonies,
and where wit and mirth and JOY 20 round,
and glasses sparkle on the board will wrap
their senses IN Elysium, and they shall feel
richer, wiser, stronger and more witty than
before. But at the last, will hurl them
down, one by one, from their fancied eeva-
tion and they shall drag out wretched ex-
istence in the hunger-dem, and yilest purlieus
Of the earth, and sneak to dishonored graves,
rejoicing to hide from the withering scorn Of
their species and to give their souls TO eter.
nal punishment in fires less fierce than those
in which have tortured them on earth.--
Nay, the kings and governments of the earth
shall pass laws for my protection, and that Of
my emissares, as we walk the earth, decimat-
ing its inhabitants and tumbling them into
hell. Give me then, o Satan, the dominion
Of the earth, aud thou shalt behold, through
ages,
"he'rs every wave break on living shore,
llcapcd with the damned like pebhles.p
He ceased. One unearthly yell of ap.
plause arose, amid the stamping Of countless
feet aud the clashing Of adamatine shields
The Arch Enemy stepped from his throne,
and leading the horrid spectre to seat at
his right hand thus spake
" Terrible being if thou canst indeed do
these things, thou art henceforth my Vice
gerent upon the earth. Go forth and my
realms shall be crowded with the souls Of
men, thick as autumn leaves or sands upon
the shore. But tell us by what name to call
thee"
Aud the fend answered " ALCOHOL! So
saying he spread his broad bat-like wings.
and he'll grew lighter as he vanished.
How hath he fulfilled his mission ?
For o thousand years nath his fiery breath
smote the wide earth with crime and death
And furnished men, dantest food,
For the red hesh-worm's slimy brood.

Guarded with tenderesi care,
Where the dainty clothes are lying,

While hls mystic liio was throbbihg
Under my ihrobbing heart.
And often my happy dreaming
Breaks In a little song,
Like the murmur Of birds at brooding
When The days are warm and long.
