THE TURBINE WATER WHEEL.-J. A.
SHORT having secured one manufactured
by Bodine IL Co, Mt. Morris N. Y. and
put it in operation in his shop, speaks
highly of its merits. 1t is simple in
construction, and not liable to get out of
order. 1t will run with steady, even
spread, and is not effected by back water
except in the loss of head. There is less
leakage or waste of water in this wheel
than any other known, and it has the nd
vantage of using every inch of the head
or fall of water, and is not effected by
frost in any way. These wheels are now
used iu nearly every state in the Union.
and their superiority universally acknowl-
edged.

Many young persons are growing up
with the idea that industry-especially
manual industry-is not quite respec-
table. There is no modern notion that
more completely cuts at the root of
wholesome sentiment and of national
or individual prosperity than this.
Whether idleness takes the form Of
street-lounging and gossip that begets
more fctive vices, or Of the dreamy SEN
iimentalism that fritters away life in
vague fancies, or of the busy idleness
that occupies itself in a hundred ways
to avoid the steady, energetic pursuit
of regular duty, it is equally cul pable in
its character and perniciOus in its effects.
The lethaFgy shown by many young
people is productive of many evils,
In the body it is a predisposing cause
'of many forms Of disease the want of
healthy excitement and occupation
leads too often to intemperance in eat
ing and drinking ''to pass away the
time, and this in its turn, briugs fever,
indigestion and depression, and makes
the frame less able to Withstand the
attacks Of any disease. A large pro-
portion of the drunkenness and dissi-
patton of various forms so common,
may be traced directly to this source.
Its effect on the mind is bad. While
producing instability of purpose it is in
time followed by hamiliating sense
of inferiority. No man has a right to
60 through life, whatever his position
may be, without honest regular and
useful employment of some kind.

Hen Cholera.

A family owned about fifty hens.
the cholera broke out among them and
in three days more than half of them
were sick or dead. The lady knew
that -four and whisky or even -four and
water was an excellent remedy for
diarrhea and that -four and wheat
bran would cure the seours Of cattle.
She thought she would try it on the
hens. She took flour and partially
mixed it, not wet enough to become
sticky, but in fakes and particles; she
fed the hens in the evening. he
boiled four pods Of red pepper in two
quarts of water and sat FIR their drink
She repeated feeding -four twice N
next day, and there we're no more new
cases. Those that wers sick tied n
five days--tbirty lived and tweetv died.
Viii some one test this remedy. Ifred
peppers are not at hand use black pep

A Singular Accident.

ALBION, Jan. 26.
As the day express going west on she
Michigan Central Railroad was nearing
the station this afternoon about three
O'Clock, the passengers waiting for the
train we're startled by the frequent
whistling of the engine, Indicating OBJ
structions on the track. Il was soon
found that Mr.. Saigon, of Sheridan, was
driving at a furious pace to get bis
horses and wagon across the track be-
fore the engine reached the crossing.
The engineer did his best to stop the
train, but it was too late, and the COW
catcher struck just between the wagon
and the horses, separating them instan-
ter, and cOnsigniDg each a place on op-
posite sides Of the track, little or none
the worse for the collision. But tha
strangest part Of the story remains to
be told. Mr.. Saigon and his wife (both
about 65) were caught on the platform
above the coW-catcher and Just in front
of the engine, where, instead Of losing
presence of mind, and throwing them
selves of, they settled themselves as
though nothing had happened. The
old lady put her hands IN her muH,
while the old man, with one hand ex-
tended, as if grasping the reins, and the
whip raised in the other, assumed an
attitued that Dan Mace might envy:
and thus the old couple rode up to the
station triumphant amid the cheers Of
the bystanders. As soon as the train
stopped number rushed to their assist,
ance, but they declined all aid, mani
Testing no concern for themselves, but
considerable for the horses and wagon.
The former were unipjured, while the
damage to the latter was found 10 be

CORONATION.

By HELEN HUNT.
sr s =l- -
At the kings gate the subtle noon
Wove filmy yellow nets of sun, 80
Caught in the drowsy snare too soon
The guards slept one by one.
Through the kings gate, unquestioned then,
A beggar went, and laughed, 'This brings
Me chance. at least, to see if f'men
Fare better, being kings"
The king sat bowed beneath his crown,
Propping his face with listless hand;
Watching the hourglass sitting down
Too slow its shining sand, e~
Poor man, what wouldst thou have of mel"
The beggar turned, and, pitying,
Replied, like one in dream, "of thee
Nothing, want the king"
Uprose the king, and from his head
Shook OF the crown, and threw it by;
40 man, thou must have known" he said,
ga greater king than L"
Through all the-gates, unquestioned then,
Went king and beggar hand in hand.
Whispered the king, ''Shall know when
Before HIS throne I standl" -.
The beggar laughed. Free winds in haste
We're wiping from the kings hot brow
The crimson lines the crown had traced.
''This is his presence now"
AT the kings gate, the crafty noon
Unwove its yellow nets of sun;
Out of their sleep in terror soon
The guards walked one by one.
"Ho here Ho there Has no man seen
The kingl" The cry ran TO and fro.
Beggar and king, they laughed, ween,
The laugh that free men know.
On the kings gate the moss grew gray;
The king came not. They called him dead
And made his eldest son, one day,
Slave in his fathers stead.
