No cause whatever has done more in pro-

no more? Partly because it has not had

as a sort of second nature into the habits
and institutions of our whole race for five
thousand years, should be entirely done

been gained in peace, is that so few means
have been used. We can hope for ends
only by suitable and adequate means and
in this cause such means have not yet been
used. Use these, and we shall make sure,
sooner or lator, Of triumphant success. on
this point there can be no doubt. Not only

Lord, is he the man / have boon treating
in this shabby manner at my own door,"
While he was coming forward trying TO
see the face of his visitor with his impcr-
feet vision, Putnam recognized him, and
dismounting with jump, he threw his
roins to one Of the aids who just then rode
up, and running into tho house, caught the
old soldier in his arms, crutchcs and all,
and embraced him, while the old man
wcpt tears of pride and pleasure. The
younger Patterson soon came limping in,
and he was the recipient of like hearty
recognition by tho bluff General.
Tho next hour was passed by these three
in plea ant familiar intercourse, during
which the rescue of Putnam was thorough
ly discussed the Pattersons readily forget
ting ior the while, that their visitor had
any o1}or title or dignity than that of their
old NaEan. lie spoke in terms of the
wartI gfa,Sdde Of the inosiimablo SER
vice they had done, and of his repeated
und ir4itless efforts to find them since that
memorable escape; and, rs Rufus after
ward told me, they both felt, when he had
gone, that his visit was worth ten years Of
good, wholesome enjoyment to them.
81 suppose you haven't forgotten, Gen
oral," said old Patterson, rather grumb-
linSly, "what a savage scolding you gave
me for letting you sleep ten minutes too
long while wo were escaping?"
putnam roared with laughter. "Did |
do that?' he asked. "Woll, that was pret-
ty hard but you know my way, ofcoursc.
obey orders, first, last, and always; that is
my motto you know. But did you feel rs
though. you would be likely to let the rcd
skins do their worst with mo the next
time?"
mo sir" replied the old soldier; II
never thought Of any such thing. | wasn't
angry bit. never had a commander like
Captain Putnam 1 liked his anger bctlor
than other mems praise"
General Putnam probably made due al
lowance for the old mans extravaganza of
speech, and gave him credit for all he felt.
"You are poor, should judge" he said
looking at the scanty furniture, and bare
floors.
ayes, General replied the son, "we
have pretty hard work to live. 1t was
hard before the war, when my boy was at
home to help; but hos in the army Of
course, fighting for the country, as his IA
ther and grandfather did before him, and
as 1 would be doing now but for this rheu-
matiz."

Putnam but I've enough for myself and
family, and something to spare and no.

PERPETUAL MoTIoN AT LAsr.-A full
patent has been received by young man
Of Chicago for perpetual motion machine.
The Chicago papers say that the machine
behaved itself handsomely, working with
out cessation for months. The most essen
tial portion of the machine consists Of u
hollow rocking lever, or beam, resembling
the walking beam Of a steamboat engine,
except that it il bent at obique angles in
several places. Inside this are placed balls
partially filled with mercury. The balls,
once set in motion, roll down the interior
OF the hollow beam in vain search for
permanent level, but no sooner do they
reach the lower end than the mercury in
the spolIes of the main wheel overcomes
their weight, the beam is forced up, and
the balls are again impelled in their on
ward rush, only to be caught by the valve
that is forced open from without, and push
cd into the uppernrm ofthe beam or lever,
ready to be hustled along their nover-end-
ing route. a delcatoly adjusted weight
and brake are attached to the machine and
serve to regulate its motion, but it is in the
hollow spokos and beams, and tho balls OF
quicksilver, that the mysterious power is
said TO lie.

To Bessie and Maud on the hill,
To all the sweet children that frolic
So gaJly by brooklet and rill,
We are coming today,
But, hush! Never tcll7
We are coming, say,
TO bid you farewell
You welcome us carly in spring,
With laughter and Bhoutings so sweet;
To your childhood our music we bring,
You scatter your crumbs at our feet.
You loyo uo, we know,
Now listen, IT'S true;
We're sorry to sing
This farewell to you.
We've led you full many a race
Ger hillside and valley and doll
wo'yD bockoned you on TO the forest,
AID shown you where Wild flowers dwell;
We've twittcrod and sung
New songs every day,
Wen give grand chorus
Ere flying away
whore berries are rpest and aweotest,
Where grapes their rich perfume diatil,
We cuticed you by nutter and muBic,
Your little school-bashcts to fill.
We showed you cur meet
In shadiest nook;
We trusted your honor
To take but look.
But the berries are gone from the rondeide;
The flowers hold the dcwdrops no more;
Tho grapes from the vine have been gathered;
And, children, our rlnytimo is DER
Goodbye, then to Bessie,
To Clara, and May,

To tho birds at their play.
We go where the days are all sunny
Tho breezes all softenod and bland
Whore floweru and fruits never fail,
In q far-away, dreamy southland.
But We love you as well,
Now list while we sing:
We ore suro TO come lack

Yes, in the sprng-timo again
Won build near your homes in the tree;
We hope that each lAughing-eycd urchin

But now VIC must 60;
Oh, pray, do not cry,

GIVING ADvIcE.-The SATURDAY Reyielo
closes an essay on Good Advice" as fol-
lows:-
If a man really wishes to give such advice
as may do some good to other people, he
must take the consequences of his eccentric
taste. He will have few consultations except
those which result from a good conscience,
or from the less worthy qualification of his
own self-esteem. We can only make one
suggestion for his guidance if he persists in
committing himself to so rash a course of
conduct. He should remember above all
things the Johnsonese aphorism, that though
you can provide man with arguments, you
cannot provide him with reasoning powers.
You may do him some good by completing or
correcting his information, but it is very un-
likely that you will materially alter the way
in which he reasons upon facts already known.
Now as most people who ask for advice with
any serious expectation of taking it must of
necessity be foolish, and as foolish person
is just as likely to go wrong when his infor-
nation is sound as when it is erroneous, it
follows that the sphere open to the adviser is
remarkably limited. One may succeed in
keeping man straight by making him feel
that he is ridiculous, or by encouraging him
in moments of depression; but the admins
tration of downright good advice, the un-
qualified remark, Do this, or Don't do that,
is about as profitless an expenditure of human
energy as can easily be devised.

1000, 600 thalers. OF these 90 per cent, are
breech-loaders, varying in calibre from to
to 800 pounds, while a few of them will have
O calibre of 600 and even 1000 pounds. The
Prussian Government has always made the
most extensive purchases of Krupps guns,
and the superiority of their artillery is the
best proof that the confidence placed in his
cast-steel breech-loaders has not been mis-
placed. The Emperor Napoleon and his ar
tillery officers have admitted this superiority
in the recent battles.
The French Government saw Krupp guns
in 1867, and caused them to be minutely ex-
amined not only this, but prize medals were
awarded to them in every instance. But
French national pride and vanity precluded
the idea of procuring guns from German
manufacturer for the army, and Government
preferred the muzzle-loaders made after the
system of La Hitte, which will no doubt be
thrown aside and condemned as soon as the
present war is ended. The English are un-
willing to admit the excellence of Krupp's
cannons; they criticise them most vehem-
emily, in hopes of bringing their Armstrong
and Frazer guns into favor-so far, however,
with but little success outside of their own
country.
The Russian Government is a very good
customer of Krupp and the trials made by
the celebrated generals Todleben and Ma
jervsky have established the superiority of
his cannon be yond all doubt.

TRUE FL1RTs AND FALsE.-The Home Jour-
nal thus defends flirting-quite successfully,
provided its definition is accepted. Some
would say that the writer's "true" flirting is
misnamed:-
When a clown follows the will-o -the-wisp
to his discontinue, we blame the foolish man,
and not the misguiding light And so, if men
will be so vain and unthinking as TO imagine
that every pleasant beauty adores them be-
cause she does not snub them and designs
to marry them because she vouchsafes to
chat, whose fault is it when the presump-
tuous lover is informed with cold polite
ness that his position is that of friend only?
The real mistake consists in con-
ceiving nothing between the sexes but
love. People rush into the error
that q woman must either be discourteous to
q man or in love with him; the possibility of
her entertaining proper and healthy friend
ship for fifty of the opposite sex never seems
to strike the world. Now the So called firt is
eminently free from all the charges that are
usually alleged against her. She is open and
undisguised. Her affability is known and
commented on from the fact that she con-
verses without hesitation, laughs without
constraint she "wears her heart upon her
sleeves" there is no concealment, no attempt
at reservation, no affectation of reserve. The
really designing woman is of another cast.
Her plots are darkly laid and darkly carried
out Her demeanor staid, her style ire
proachable.
'She gives side glance and looks down."
She encourages, not with the open invitation
of an assault, but with the Covert affectation
of a retreat. She leads on quietly, but with
out appearing to do SO, and the world is kept
in ignorance of her plans till her discretion is
rewarded and prize secured. So anglers
catch ish-quietly, concealed, cautiously.
But he who chatters on the bank, faunts his
rod and line, and fiutters his brilliant hues,
fails if he thinks to net
