man the mastery Of the French and Ger
man tongues, fair knowledge of mathemat-
les pure and applied, an outline Of the physi-
cal sciences, and skill as draughtsman The
writer Of this article, still on the sunny side
tare. Ten years Of such course would give
man language in a single year, thus opening
a new and rich field of amusement and cul-
of forty, asserts that the average OF all the
time he has been able to devote to study du-
ring his life has been considerably less than
two hours per day. Let any mechanic at the
age Of twenty consider how much advantage
the above requirements would be to him at
the age of thirty, should he obtain them. and
then 60 to work and get them. The requisite
books can be obtained for less than many a
young man spends for cigars during six
months. Twelve years since we were in a
machine shop in the center Of New York
State, where we were having model con-
structed. The young man to whom the fore
man and proprietor had assigned the work
attracted our attention, from some remarks
which seemed to Indicate higher state of
cultivation than is usually met with in young
men occupying similar positions. Thereupon
we set ourselves to draw him ont. We found
him familiar with the higher mathematics an
expert draughtsman, and thoroughly posted
in natural philosophy and the chemistry of
the metals. He had commenced French and
German. All these accomplishments were
the reward of evening study, pursued steadily
since the date of his apprenticeship, com
menced at-the age Of sixteen. This young
man was at that time just twenty-one, in ap-
parcntlys perfect mental, moral and physical
health He has since risen by successive
steps to foreman, and is now a partner in the
sare establishment, a man Of wealth and in
huence.
The essential character Of recreation is that
it transfers the strain from one part of the
vital machinery which needs rest to another
that does not, thus cqualizins wear. But the
human system is not like a lathe or steam
engine, incapable Of repairing itself. As soon
as rest is given to any part Of it, if healthy,
it commences to repair itself. But condi
ton of perfect rest is that the mind shall be
wholly withdrawn from the consideration of
fatigue, that toll should be forgotten in the
absorbing character Of the recreative occupa-
ton. What, we ask, is better calculated to
accomplish this result than aproper course Of
study Scientific american.

During the rebellion the staff; of Gen.
Wise were riding through rather forlorn
part of North Carolina, and young Virgin
ian of the staff concluded to have little fun
at the expense of a long legged specimen of
the genus homo, who wore a very shabby
gray uniform and bestrode worm fence at
the roadside. "Reining in his horse he ac-
costed him with, GLOW are you. North Caro-
lima 2" GLOW are you, Virginia." was the
ready response. The staff continued The
blockade on turpentine makes you rather hard
up, don't it? No sale for tar now, Is there
Well-yes," was the slow response. I'VE
sell all our tar to JEFF Davis now 1.-The
thunder you do! What on earth does the
President want with your tar? North Car
DINA answered: lie pats it on the heels CT
Viryinans to make them stick on the blttie
field !" The staff rode on.

The Doorstep.
BY E. d. STEDMAN.

The conference meeting through at last,
We boys around the vestry waited
To see the girls come tripping past,
Like snow birds willing to be mated.
Not drawer he that leaps the wall
By level musket- flashes litten,
Than I, who stepped before them all,
Who longed to see me get the mitten.
But no, she FLUSHED and took my arm
We let the old folks have the highway,
And started towards the Maple Farm
Along kind Of lovers by-way.
l can't remember what was said,
Twas nothing worth song or story.
Yet that rude path by which we sped
Seemed all transformed and in glory.
The snow was crisp beneath our feet,
The moon was full, the fields were cleaning;
By hood and tippet sheltered sweet
Her face with youth and health was beaming
The little hand outside the muf--

To keep it warm | had to hold it.
To have her with me there Alone
Twas love and fear aud triumph blended;
At last we reached the footwo stone
Where that delicious journey ended.
She shook her ringlets from her hood,
And with THANK you, Ned dissembled
And yet knew she understood
With what daring wish trembled
A cloud passed kindly overhead,
The moon was slyly peeping through it,
Yet hid its face, as if it said,
"Come, now or never! do It'll do it %
My lips till then had only known
The kiss Of mother and of sister,
But somehow, full upon her own
Sweet, rosy, darling MOUTH kissed her!
Perhaps twas boyish love, yet still,

To feel once more that fresh wild thrill,

After careful examination, we recommend the

OTIC Il.
The "Universa" cannot be thrown out of gear
ichen the pressure is taken off, to admit large articles
as is the case with other cog-wheel wringers.
The great advantage of RowelPs Patent
Double Gogs cannot be obtained by putting
COs-wheels ON both ends of the roll. as
meet tine cogs either end the power OF the cogs at
that end is lost, and it consequently ceases to be
DOUBLE: or if garments are run thruogh the centre
phen the pressure is taken off to admit larger arti-
cles, all the cogs may be disconnected and rendered
useless.
ANY sensible person can understand that wringer
having cog wheels which play apart or dscon-
meet when a large article is passing between the
rolls, is little if any better than one without any
cogs at all, because the cogs fail to be of eervlce
when most needed. The "UNIvERsAL" has not
this fatal objection, but is WARRANTED DURABLE.
The Universal" has taken more s.first premi-

THE CRoNIsrA, the Spanish organ in New
York, has formally declared war against the
United States. The cavalier of the Chronistd
reckons that with seventy-onevessels or SO from
Spain will sweep the United States off the
seas, and by blockading New York, Boston,
and Philadelphia will strangle country of
braggarts. Spain has much larger navy
than some of us are aware, and in general
draws longer bow. We cannot fear a naval
power which has been beaten by Chill and Pc
ru, but we have reason to dread her profess
ions.
