A Fast Story.

An Englishman was Dragging Of the
speed of English railroads to Yankee
traveller seated at his side in one of the
cars Of fast train in England. The
engine bell had rung as the cars neared
station. 1t suggested TO the Yankee
an opportunity of taking down his
companion peg or two"
"What is that noise 2" innocently in.
quircd the Yaukee.
We are approaching a town." said
the EugIiShmau; "thcy have 70 com.
menco ringia- about len miles before
the bell would be heard Wonderful,
smith | suppose they haven't 10.
vented bells ia Au.gricll
Why, yes replied the Yankee
"wcyc got bells, but we eau use them
on our railroads. We run so fast that
the trains always keep ahead of the
sound; the sound never reaches the vii
lage till after the trains get by"
"lndeed exclaimed the Englishman.
"Fact," said the Yankee. Had to
give up bells. Then we tried steam
whistles, but they wouldn't answer,
either. | was on locomotive wh,n a
whistle was tried, We we're going at
tremendous rate-hurricaues were no.
wherc-and had to hold my hair on.
We saw a two.horse wagon crossing the
track about five miles ahead, and the
engineer set the whistle, screeching
like trooper. 1t screamed awfully,
but it was no use. The next thing [
knew | was picking myselfou of hole
BY the wayside, amid the fragments of
locomotive, dead horses, broken wagon
and dead engineer lying beside me.
Justthen the whistle came along, mixed
up with some frightful oaths that
heard the engineer use when he first
saw the horses"

WHEN TO DEsPAIR.-Some French
writer says, wisely: "If a lady says
to you-'l | can never love you wait a
little longer, all hope is not lost. But
if she says No one has more sincere
wishes for your happiness than |, take
your hat aud 60, AS companion
piece to this, Te give corresponding ad b.
vice to young ladies, though we forget
who originated it: Ii gentleman
overwhelms you with compliments or
says soft things, or gives you killing
looks, all the time perfectly at his ease
in your society, no matter how many
times he tells you he adores you, be.
ware, beware, he is fooling thee But
if he bushes up to his eyes whenever
you look at him; if his hand trembles
when he takes yours if he stammers
and hesitates in his conversation; in
short, if he is transformed by your
presence from the agreeable young fel.
low he is naturally, to an awkward
bashful, blundering' boy you may be
perfectly sure the goose is head over
ears in love with you, and may safely
render him perfectly happy by favor.
able response" Which would be diff.
fcrent from either of the French ones
mentioned above, we suppose.

The name of the god TO whom this
temple was dedicated was Bel. He is
supposed to have the been the same
with Nimrod, aud to have been called
Bel from his dominion, and Nimrod
from his rebellion for Bel (or Baal,
which is the same) signifies Lord and
Nimrod rebel, in the Jewish aud
Chaldcan languages.
This temple stood until the time Of
Xerxes. But he, on his return from
his Grccian expedition, demolished it
almost totally, having first plundered it
of all its immense riches. He found
here several statutes OF massive gold,
one Of which is said to have been fifty
feet high The entire value Of the gold
in this temple seems almost incredible

took place soon after, put an end to the
undertaking. Had he lived and made
that city the seat of his empire, as he
would have done, the glory of Babylon
would no doubt have reached the height
that Nebuchadnezzar aimed at.

tiful legend Illustrating the blessedness
of performing our duty at whatever cost
to our own inclinations. A beautiful
vision of our Saviour had appeared to
monk, and in silent bliss he was gazing
upon it. The hour arrived at which he
was to feed the poor at the door Of the
convent. He fingered not in his cell to
enjoy the vision, but left to perform his
humbl eduty. When he returned he
found the blessed vision still waiting for
him, and uttering these words: "Had'st

Nails for Outdoor Work.

NaAAo AoA OutuuO1 w oAAs
Every one is familiar with the fact,
that II piece ofrusty iron, wrapped in
cotton or linen cloth, soon destroys tho
texture of the fabric. a rustiug nail,
for example, if laid upon few rags,
will soon produce large holes in them,
or it will, at least, rsuder every point
that it touches so rotten that TIE cloth
will readily fall to piocps at those points,
and holes will be produced by tho
slightest hard usage. Why this Is SO
it is not our purpose to inyostigate.
We merely state well known fact, aud
draw from it the conclusion that iron,
during the process of rusting, tends to
destroy any vegetable fibre with which
it may be in contact This explains, to
certain extent, tie rapid destruction
Of the wood that surrounds the nails in
outdoor work, whereby the nail is so
soon left 10 hole much larger THAI
itself and all power Of adhesion is lost.
Part Of this effect ia, no doubt, due to
the action of water aud air, which creep
along the snrfaee of the nail by capil,
larry attraction and tend to produce rot
tenness in the wood as well as oxidation
10 the iron. But when VIC compare All
old nail hole with similar hole that
has been exposed during an equal time,
but has been filed with a wooden pin
instead of an iron nail, we find that the
wood surrounding the wooden pin has
suffered least, and we may, therefore.
attribute destructive action TO tho
rusting of the iron. 1t might, at first
sight, be supposed that, as the oxide Of
iron is more bulky than the pure iron,
the hole would be filled moro tilhtly
and the nail held more firmly to its
place. But, although this effect is pro-
dueed in the first instance. vet the de.
