An Unprcfitabic Answer.

ssWhat does a man think of when he
thinks OF nothing :" Queen Elizabeth
demanded of choleric courtier, to
whom she had not realized her promise
of promotion.
HE thinks, madam, of woman's prom
ises," was the tart reply.
"Well, / must confute him." said the
queen, walking away; sanger makes a
man witty, but it keeps him poor"

FORTUNE has the same pow
er over princes that it has over empires
over nations that it has over cities
and the same power over cities that it
has over private men. Where's that es.
tate that may not be followed upon the
heel with famine and beggary? That
dignity which the next moment may not
be laid in the dust2 That kingdom that
Is secure from desolation and ruin ?

Gunp0wder.

When gunpowder was first discovered
to possess projectile power, its mill
tary application was confined to take a
kind of mortar or lombard, intended as
a substitute for the enormous battering
machines then usually constructed. The
commencement of the fifteenth century
was the time of their origin in the field !;
for though the more modern author,
-Vilani, asserts that they were used at
the battle of Cressy, the more accurate
Froissart is entirely silent about them.
Biius, noble and learned Milanere, who
lived at the time, speaks in his history
of hand guns as first used at the seige
of Lucca in 1880. The Florentines had
artillery which discharged large stones
by means of gunpowder. but the
Lucehese,rs says Bilius, "beside darts
and arrows, invented q new kind OF
weapon; in their hands they held kind
of club, about a cubit and Ealf in
length; to this were attached iron tubes,
which, being filled with sulphur and nj
tire, by the force of fire emitted iron
balls. The blow, if it struck, was cer-
tain destruction; neither armor nor
shields were sufficient protection, for of.
ten two or three deep, if fired upon,
would be transpiereed by a single ball y

no industrious member of free and prog
porous community should be exposed.
Labor, in our country, should mean the
power of providing, by diligence and in
dustry, a comfortable substance and an
honorable position. 1t means all the civil
of which have spoken. II
means the possession of home, in which
want casts no bitterness and no distress.
1t means an opportunity for every man to
get living, and advance into an enlarged
sphere. And when we remember that there
are those now in our country who are
earning with their hands the means. of
owning their own homesteads, educating
their children, ornamenting their dwell
ings, clothing themselves and their fami-
lies so that public assembly of our labor
ing population in its best attire is q delight
and an encouragement to every lover of
humanity when we remember all this,
we can understand what the opportunity
and standard Of American labor are And
when We remember, also, how this stand
ard has advanced by the nature of our in
stitutions, and by growing liberality Of
sentiment, within the last quarter Of .
century, and how the most intelligent and
humane employer comprehends his re-
sponsibilities and relations, we cannot but
anticipate for this country just and gene
rous solution of that question, which has
tried the profoundest thinkers of our day
