The Ripple's Request.

Throw us sunbeam to play with!
Well break it and SILVER it,
Shake it and culver it,
All to the tune that the noon-breezes sing.
The wild rose that bushes
Mid green stalks and rushes,
The sky-gazing lily our coming that fears,
In vain try to catch it;
We waters will snatch it,
And break it in sparkles Of diamonds and
Throw us flow'ret to play with!
Well twist it and twirl it,
And spin it and whirl it,
Giddily toss it and float it along.
Family it cleaves
To the half-drowning leaves
That stoop'd from the banks and are pris-
oners too.
Green weeds can not save it,
The breeze pluck'd and gave 1t
To us, and we'll play with it all the day
through.
Send us-oh, send us moonbeam!
No longer we'll riot,
But quiet, 80 quiet,
Deep sleep we will feign, lest it leave us
again;
For the silvery beam
Loves to lie on the stream,
And to stir not but dream, while the night.
breezes sigh;
And we scarce dare to creep
Round the lilies asleep,
For fear it should hide once again in the
sky.

THE ATMOSPHERIC BRAKe.-This appa.
ratus which, it is asserted, can stop in
few seconds train Of cars at full speed, is
now being tried at various points through
out the country, and, it is reported, with
great success. The brake is described as
follows: On tho right hand side of the
locomotive, fastened to the running board
and under the inspection of engineer, is an
upright direct air-pump which is operated
by steam supplied from the boiler, and
pumps air into reservoir hanging under
the cab of the locomotive. This pump is
entirely self-acting, and whenever there is
q deficiency of pressure in the air reservoir,
it commences working until the equilibrium
is restored. under each car of the train is
cylinder firmly bolted in such a position
that it's piston acts directly on the lever
used for the ordinary hand brake, but does
not at all interfere with its use by hand.
The pressure ofthe air is conducted to these
cylinders from the reservoir under the loco
motive by line of gas pipe, three quarters
of an inch in diameter running the entire
lenght of the train, and the connection
with each cylinder is made from the main
line with an elbow one quarter of an inch
in diameter. From each end of the car
the pipes are extended three-ply rubber
hose, which are connected when the cars
coupled together. Should car become
detached, the valves of the coupling i'm
mediately close, the brake continues appli-
ed, and the car is prevented from running
back on a grade. An air gauge placed
Immediately above the steam gauge, indi-
Gates to the engineer the quantity of pres
sure in the reservoir, and the management
of the train is placed in the engineers
hands by means of a three-way cock.
At recent trial of this brake on the
Missouri Pacific Railroad, train three
hundred feet long, travelling at speed of
thirty four miles an hour, was stopped in
twenty seconds and at a distance of one
thousand feet from the point where the
break was applied. The train travelling
at the same rate was subsequently stopped
by brakeman with mandrake; but forty
five seconds were required, and the cars
continued in motion for one thousand sew
en- hundred and fifty feet.
