WIND OF THE WINTER NIGHT.

BY THE PEASANT BARD
Wind of the winter night! hear
Thy midnight voice, weird, wild and drear,
Sad, solemn, slow;
Hear 1t without my window pane -
Hear in the soul-arousing strain
The voice of long ago.
That hollow, voicefuI spirit tone
An instant heard, then vanished, gone,
Unlocks the past,
And lights of other days that lie
Deep in the mists of memory.
Flash bright and fast
Some vivid scene of long ago.
VI hfe's first fires, or loves first glow.
Buried for years
ashes of the past from sight
wakes, at the tone, again to light,
And re-appears.
The form, the words of some loved one
Once by my side, now parted gone
To the realms unseen;
Or, baply sepa1 ated wide
By weary leagues of land and tide -
And years between.
Q, memory sad 0, memory sweet!
HOW often, thus evoked, / meet
Again my lost
My arms are outstretohed to embrace.
Eut heart to heart, and face to face
Is but the ghost
Mysterious Hfei How little we
Know what you are, or what shall be
When :" dust to dust -
But that dread Power that formed the soul
LIS wise to order and control;
There rest, and trust.

The New Motive Power.
From the Cleveland T daades.

FROM the Cleveland Leader.
The complete success of The machin
cry employed to drill the Mont Gents
Tunnel has strongly attracted the at
tention of engineers and mechanics to
the subject of compressed air engines
and already it is proposed in this
country to try the experiment of adopt
ing it on large scale. The Mont Gems
machine for cutting and boring the rock,
was mounted on car wheels, and, as
the work progressed, was moved along
the railway track laid in the bottom of
the tunnel. The power which operated
1T was supplied in the form of com
pressed air, which was sent in through
long tubes. The water power of a
mountain stream outside the tunnel
worked the powerful air pumps by
which the air was compressed, and, this
being carried in pipes to the boring
machine far inside the tunnel, at once
set that machine in motion and sup
Piled fresh, pure atmosphere for the
workmen. In precisely the same way
1t is proposed to utilize the wasted
water power in many large American
towns. Take, as an example, the city
OF Rochester, New York, whose water
power is abundant and constant in all
seasons. There it is proposed to erect
water wheels which will run night and
day throughout the year, forcing the
air into a large loaded magazine
like a gasometer From this a
system OF strong underground pipes are
to be laid to the various manufactures
throughout the city where steam is now
used. The first cost of the apparatus
would be, of course, considerable, but,
once erected, power could be furnished
to almost any extent at no higher exl
pense than that required to keep the
water wheels and pumps in order. In
princople, the plan is similar to that of
our own water works, in which one en-
glne pumps water for the houses and
workshops of the entire city, and it is
difficult to see any good reason why it
should not be equally successful. A
writer in the New York Post asserts
that the experiment is certain to be
tired IN the spring at Rochester, and if
that should prove successful an attempt
Will be made to harness the enormous
water power of Niagara for the benefit
OF Buffalo. Should the plan succeed
1t Will have an important effect on the
value of mill sites. Manufactures
could be built upon much more cheap
and convenient sites than is now
possible when all establishments which
use water power must be built upon the
bank OF the stream which supplies it. |
no matter what may be the cost of such |
q location. The other advantages to !
be gained by the new system are
many and important. What is known |
as one horse power" costing, in the
form OF steam, $3.50 per annum, will
then be furnished at an average ex-
pense of Sl2 year, the damage of sud
len and disastrous explosions will be
forever ended, the machinery of manu-
factories greatly simplifed, and the
heat, smoke and noise incident to steam
avoided. With the success
Of the Mont Gents machine as a basis,
here is certainly enough plausibility
n the new plan to command wide in
crest in the result of the experiment at
Rochester
