A TORPEDO BOAT.-A torpedo boat is
to be built at the WASHINGTON MAYNARD
10 be named the Robinson. Ii Will he
175 feet long, with 35 feet beam. Her
hull will be of iron, only three feet OF
whlsh will be out Of water. This expos.
ed part, however. will be armor-plated
with four inch iron, backed with wood.
She will be propelled with two screws,
aud her engines are expected to drive at
IA knots per hour minimum speed. The
0nly rigging which she will have, which
Is t/ir weather arrangement all togeth,
CT, HltI consist Of two masfs schooner
rugged. According to the proportion of
work done IN the yards now, it will take,
by close calculation, 500 men one wear to
build her, most Of whom will be from
the iron works. The torpedo will con
tain 100 pounds of powder attached to
IN iron beam, which will protrude from
the bow below thc water line. This
beam will be 25 feet long, and so adjust
ed as to be forced out by hand from wlt-
er-.lght compartments through packing.
It will be worked by hand instead Of
steam, as any unexpected obstacle could
be more easily detected than otherwise.
1t is intended, when orders are given to
that effect, that the torpedo boat shall
make straight, under Il full head of
steam, for an cncmy's ship, and run we'll
under her, aud explode the same by cleo
tricity, the beam being withdrawn at the
same time The boat viii. be of compare
lively light dra1ght, requiring only liz
feet Of water.

MORN You'll KEEP.-Some years ago
an old sign painter, who was very cross,
very gruff and little deaf, was engaged
to paint the ten commandments on some
tablet in church not five miles from
Buffalo He worked two days az it and
on the end of the second day, the pastor
Of the church came to see how the work
progressed. The old man stood by,smok-
ing short pipe, as the reverend gentle
man ran his eye over the tablets.
Eth" said the pastor, as his familiar
eye detected something wrong in the
working Of the precepts; "why, you care
less old person, you have left ont part OF
the commandments entirely; don't you
see ?"
No; DO such thing" said the old
man, putting on his spectacles; mo,
nothing left out-where?"
why, there" persisted the pastor,
"lool7 at them i'll the bible; you have left
some Of the commandments out"
''Well, what if have:" said old OBJ
stinacy, as he ran his eye complacently
over his work. There more there now
than you'll keep"
Another and more correct artist was
employed next day.

A young man of Boston, who ten years
ago, had, by the death of his father, $780,
OO0placed in his hands, has spent every
dollar of it, and has just come to his
senses enough to enter school.to qualify
himself to do business and now has
firm purpose to learn how to earn and
save money. Money may ruin, instead Of
benefiting man, young or old, who has
not been taught how to use it.

been made in 1862, at Haddam Pier. and
it numbered about 2,30O Comparing
these figures with those given above,

sloners entertain the belief that it was:
and there are certainly plausible reasons
for s1ch belief. It is e remarkable CO.
Incidence that such q sudden increase
should appear just at the timo many
had predicted it and looked for it. It is
@ pertinent fact, too, that no other river
shared in this abundance; the supply
elsewhere was as scanty as in former
years. .!-
i, This alone is evidence conclusive to
an unbiased mind that shad can be cult.
vated at small cost in the rivers thev
frequent. that they will return to the
places where they are hatched, and that
those who SOW may reap.
"But it Is not, the people on the banks
OF the Connecticut alone who fare renp.
Ing harvest Of shad. Those on the
banks OF the Hudson arc beginning to
see the result Of culture in this State.
Three years ago Mr.. Green began to pro.
pagate on the Hudson. The fish then
deposited are now coming in. There
has been no such abundance of shad in
thai river for years. The catch has been
large already and the market is glutted.
'Shad are sold at retail in Mew yo.!s tc- .
quarter of q dollar apiece, and in the
river towns for chilling. The whole,
sale price has been as low as three cents
per pound within q week. This is only
q beginning. n-ii
:'The quantities OF spawn now being
hatched nightly far exceeded what has
been done in any season before. About
3O0, 600 young shad nre turned into the
river every day. This work is being
done by order Of the Fish Commission
ers of the State, under the management
Of MIR. Green. The operations are
chiefly performed on the West bank Of
the river, mile or two below Castle-

kindly received on board these ships-seven IN
number as before mentioned. The boats were CUT
adrift, as it was impossible to save them, the SHIPS
being so crowded. On the 18th, the last ooats'
crews were taken on board, and the wind blowing
strong from NV, they weighed anchor and steered 10
SW, it having been agreed between the Captains OF
the ships to proceed to Plover Bay, and there get
water and wood to last them on the passage to the
Sandwich Islands. This was done by hVe Oh the
ships, the arctic, Progress, Midas, Lagoda anu
Europa, which arrived there on the 24th, and sailed
again on the 25th. The distance traversed by the
boats after abandoning the ships before reaching the
ships South n of Icy Cape, was about 20 miles the ice
being in one solid body all the way to Icy Cape
leaving a narrow strip of clear water along the oeacn
the entire distance-but also very shoal. Annexed

DECIDEDLY GOODWIN Carleton, the
rising young poet, in an editorial poem. thus
tells how farmer took youugsler Of his TO

being fit for nothing else
The editor sat in his saactum and looked
the old man in the eye,
Then glanced at the grinning young hope
fu!, and mournfully made bis reply:
lis your son a small unbound edition of
Moses and Solomon both?
Can he compass his spirit with meekness.
and straugle a natural oath2
Can he leave all his wrongs to the future.
and carry his heart in his cheek
Can lie DO an hours work in a minute,
and live on siXpeace week
Can he courteousIy talk to an equal. and
blowl eat an impudent Ounce?
Can he keep things in apple pie order,
and 10 a dozen at once
"Can he press ali the springs Of knowledge
with quick and reliable touch
And lie sure that he knows how much to
know, and knows how to not know too much?
does he know how to stir up his virtue
and put a check~rein on his pride?
"Can he carry a gentleman's manners
within rhinoceros' hide
Can he know all. and do all, and be all,
with cheerfulness, courage and vim?
. If so, we perhaps can be making an eGi-
tor outen 0, him.

wonder his visage o'erspread
And he said, Jim, l guess we'll be goin' :
