Attention is now directed in an
unusual degree to the subject of mil
ltary religion therefore the follow
ing remarks of Prince Eugene, writ
ten shortly before his death. may be
of some use to the young inquirer :
have been happy (says Prince
Eugene) in this life, and i wish to
be so in the other. There are old
dragoous who will pray to heaven
for me, and have more faith in their
prayers than in those of all the old
women of the court and of the city
clergy. The fine music, whether
simple or more obstreperous, of the
divine service delights me. The
one has something religious, which
awes the soul the other reminds me
by the flourish of trumpcts and kct-
tle-drums, which 50 often led my SOL
diers to victory, of the God of Hosts
who has blessed our arms. I have
scarcely had time 10 sin but l have

Go Home. B0YSi

Boys, don't hang round the corners of tic
streets If you have anything to do, do it
promptly, right on, then go home. Home
is the place for boys. About the street cor
ners and at the stables, they learn to talk
slang, and they learn to swear, to smoke
tobacco, and to do many things which they
ought not to do.
DO your business and then go home. If
your business is play, play, and make bu.
siness of it. like to see boys play good.
healthy games. If was the town would
give the boys good spacious playground.
1t should have plenty of soft green grass,
and trees, and fountains and broad space
to run and jump and to play suitable plays.
l would make it rs pleasant, as lovely, rs
it could be, anti l would give it to the bows
to play in, and when the play was ended,
would tell them to GO HOME.
For when boys hang round the street
corners and stables, they get slouchy and
listless. OF all things, dislike listlcss
boy or girl. I would have a hundred boys
like a hundred yachts, with every spar
straight and every rope taut, the decks and
sides clean, the rigging all in order, and ev-
erything ready to slip the cable, and fly be-
fore the wind when the word comes to go
But this cannot be if you lounge about
the streets, and loaf about the corners and
idle away your time at the stables and the
saloons.
When you are from home have some bu-
sincss; attend to your business, and then
70 homes. s. Scholar.

THEORY OF MoTIoN.-When we reflect
that body once in motion tends to remain
in motion unless robbed of that motion by
some resisting medium or by friction, we
feel surprised that walking should tire us
SO soon as it does. The fatigue we expert
cnce i'll walking does not arise from giving
motion to our bodies, but in sustaining the
weight of them and balancing ourselves on
one leg. A number Of muscles are engaged
in that operation besides those by which we
push ourselves forward.
A horse on railway can move twenty
tons in two trucks each truck alone would
weigh five tons when empty, and sufficient
to crush him to the earth if he had to carry
that weight. On the water a still greater
weight can be moved, but there the greater
portion of the labor is required in moving
the water on one side, not in moving the
barge. Such is the vast difference between
moving body and sustaining the weight of
that body. The utility ofall wheel vehicles
rests on that principle-thc wheels support
the weights. Ifthc roads are smooth, all
the force applied becomes motion in the re-
quired direction; if rough, there is a verti-
cal motion against gravity, which causes a
terrible waste of power. 1t is this wasted
power which shakes the ground, and makes
the most lofty buildings culver to their
very tops When we consider the force to
do all this is drawn from the muscles of the
horses, and is dead loss to the forward
motion required, we see how vastly impol-
tant good roads are, and how far we are Off
from possessing them. 1t was the rail, not
steam, that drove coaches off the road
