they are viewed from a new point. II
regards the blacksmith rs the prince of
mechanics. He is at once an artist and
mechanic. He who can mold q statue,
having in his mind the image, while the
clay is yet but a rude mass, and knows
how to remove the excrescent parts, and
mold the mass into the requisite forms,
has the same talent which the black
smith requires, who withdraws from the
forge the naming bar Of metal, and is
required 70 mold It with his hammer
into the desired shape. This shape
must exist in his mind as the statue
does IN the mind of the sculptor, and
though the fact Of repeated heavy blows
seems rude way Of working ont his
artistical thought. It is only so because
his metal Is less malieabie than the plas-
tic clay. We contend that whoever can
be irst-elass blacksmith could be also
an artist in clay and marble. But the
blacksmith, IN order 10 reduce the firm
metal to the form required, must have

The practicability and economy o.
narrow gauge railroads has been amply
demonstrated. BY them, every locality
within a dozen miles of railway can
place itself in communication with the
main road, and thus obtain, at compar.
atively small expehse,s the vast conve.
nience o! railroad facilities. Indeed, we
look for the day, and not far distant,
either, when each county shall own its
own narrow gauge railroad, and by ex-
tending its tracks give to every farm,
almost, communication by rail, with sup
plies and a market, and every facility Of
railway.
The cost of these railways, VIC are as
sured, is, for ordinary grading and
track, less than $4,000 per mile, and
they can be stocked with freight and
passenger cars and locomotives at an
average cost of $4,000 mile additional.
The roads are durable, costing no. more
for repairs than a wagon road. "A road
of twenty miles of track, with one hun
dred freight cars, ten passenger cars,
and four locomotives, can be furnished
for $4,000 mile. N
