Good Bye.

It's hard word 10 speak. Some may
laugh that it should be, but let them. Icy
hearts are never kind. 1t is word that has
choked mary an utterance, and started many
a tear. The band is elasped, the word spoken
we part and are out upon the ocean Of time
we 20 to meet again where God only knows.
Il may be soon, it may be never. Take care
that your goodbye be not cold one-it may
be the last that you can give. Ere you can
meet your friends again deaths cold hand may
have closed bis eyes and chained bis lips for
ever Ah he may have died in thinking you
loved him not. Again, it may be long sep
aration. Friends crowd onward and give you
their hand. How do you detect in each good
bye" the love that lingers there and how you
bear away with you the memory Of these part
ing words many, many days. We must often
separate. Tear not yourself away with caro-
less boldness that dches all.love, but makeyour
last words IiDger--giye the heart its full utter
auce-aud If tearsfa what Of it? Tears are
not uuniauly.

Life-Saying Railway Car stove.

The attention Of railway companies and car
manufacturers is directed to an important in-
vention known as the =" Eureka Life-Saving
Railway Car Stove" patented by those cxpe-
rienced railroad men, Messrs. EDWARD PORTS
and McLEoD D. LEWIS of Baltimore, and GEO.
S. KooNTz of Washington. We hope this
stove attachment may be brought into general
use. The Southern Home Journal in noticing
it as a New and Important Patent, says
I'VE have been shown the drawings and
specifications of life-Saving invention, for
which letters patent have recently been issued
to Messrs. EDWARD POTTS and Mcleod ID.
Lewis, of Baltimore, and George S. Koontz, Of
Washington. 1t is a safety-St0ve for passen-
ger cars on railroads, 50 constructed that any
accident which may happen to a car by COLI
sion or running off the track will cxtinguish the
fire within the stove.
A feature suggestive Of the simplicity and
completeness of the invention is, that it can
readily and at little expense be adapted to any
stove at present iu use in railroad cars. We
are informed, however, that the manufacture Of
the complete liCe-saving heater will be shortly
commenced and we may hNpe soon to learn OF
its being in general use.
Our readers will doubtless remember many
railroad accidents in which to the disasters oc-
curing from collision or running off the track,
have been added death and cruel suffering,
from cars catching fire from their own stoves
This last horrible feature Of railroad accidents
can never happen when the cars are heated by
this new apparatus.
Mcssrs Kooutz, Potts and Lewis are all
practical men, and belong to that useful class
whose minds are always actively devoted to
their proper business, and endeavoring to find
improvements in the modes Of its execution
We have no doubt that they will meet with
the success which all humane and useful in
ventions merit; for their patent has already
attracted the favorable attention Of a number
Of leading railroad officers, and the present
season is the most proptious for introducing
valuable invention"
