System Of National timc..

The Rev. Charles F. Dowd, of Ssrato
"a springs, HIS constructed asystem "t
national time, for the convenience Of rail.
ways, rs well rs Of the travelling public,
pcrfct'ly simple in its elementary principle,
yet evincive Of mucl, study and research IN
its details. He proposes IL make Wasl,ing,o
time the national time standard, and then to
divide the country longitudinaily into four
sections, the extremes If which, being Af.
teen degrees apart, differ from each other
just one hour in time. These hour sections
ut fifteen degrees are subdividcd by the
various railway stations which they con>
tain; and by . system of indexes at each
station, the traveller, having the local time
Of each station, can readily determine its re.
Iation 10 the national time standard at anv
point between the Atlantic aud the Pacific.
Il strikes us (says the lndependent) that Mr..
Dowd las hit upon good idea, and that,
II railway superintendcnts were to concur in
putting it into practice, ii would greatly
serve the convenience of the public. The
New England Railway Association, having
submitted the system 10 committee for
consideration, has unanimously adopted
the report Of the committee approving it,
and recommending it to all the railroad
companies in the United States.

NOBLE DIsCon6TENr.

As thoughts possess the fashion OF the mood
That gives them birth. 70 every decd We do
Partakcs OF our Unborn disquictude.
That spurns the old and rcachc,h toward the new,
The noblest works of human art and pride
Show that their makers were not satisfied.
For gazing down the lsdderof our d,cds
The rounds seem slender. All past work appears
Unto the docr faulty. The heart biccds.
And pale regret turns wcltcring in tcars
To think how poor our best has been. how vain,
Beside the excellence We wOald attain.

A lobster never comes on shore unless he
IL carried there by force. They are afflicted
with but one disease, and That 10 hollis.
There Is more real excitement in barp00ning
whale. or in having the measles, than
in catching HOLSTERS. Tho fisherman pro-
vides himself with small hencoop, and has
therein, as eniicers, several deal fish. He
then rows his boat TO the lobster ground
(Which is waier) and sinks his coop to the
bottom, anchors it to small buoy Zone
from eight to ten years old will do) and
then goes home. When he feels like it
again, say in the course of week or two,
he goes back and pulls up his poul,ry-house
and If he has good success he will lind the
game inside the coop.

I've been to the old farm house, good wife,
Where you aud we're wed
Where the love was born to Our two hearts,
That now IL cold and dead,
Where lOng-kept secret to you told,
In the beams Of the yellow moon,
Aud We forged our vows out Of loves own gold,
To be broken 20 soon, 70 soon. wife!
To be broken 70 coon. 70 eoOn.
Ipassed through all the old rooms good wife!
Wandered Oh aud on;

The chort Of nl,"c that 10 gone.
He led mr ont In the vine -wrcathed porch,
where with myrtlcs twined your hair:
Hc sat me down on the old stone .tcp,
Aud he left me- musing there
The sun went down ~ It used to do.
And sunk in tho sea Ot night
The two bright stars We called ours
Came slowly into my sight;
But the one that was mine went under cloud,
Went under cloud, alone;
And tear ,hat wonldn't have shed for the world
Fell down on the old grey stone. wife,
Fell down on the old grey ttone.
But there he words can ne'er be uusaid,
And deeds can necr be und0nc,
Except, perhaps. In another world.
When our ifc's once more begun:
And maybe some time In the time to come,
When the days and years are sped,
Well love again. as We used to love,
In the house where we were wed, wife,
In the house where We were we'd.
