DIM1NUTIvE .MEcHANIsM.-Mr.. D.
A. A. Buck, jeweller. of Worcester,
Mass. has built the smallest engine in
the world. It is made of gold and
silver, and fastened together with
screws, the largest Of which is one
eighth of an inch in size. The engine,
boiler, governor and pumps stand in
a space seven-sixteenths of an inch
square, and are five-eights of an inch
high. Perhaps a better idea of its
smallness will be conveyed by saying
that the whole affair may be complete
ly covered bysscommon tailors thim-s
BILE. The engine alone weighs but fif-I
teen grains, and yet every part is
complete, as may be seen by a micro
scopic examinution; and it may be set
in motion by, applying heat, being
supplied with all valves, &c., to be
found upon the ordinary upright, en-
gine. To attempt an estimate. of its
power would seem like rather small
busiless, but for a guess, span of
well-fed feas would furnish more
force if they. were properly harnessed
and shod. The little thing would tug
away several minutes if encouraged
by a drop of water heated by the ap-
plication of a burnt finger.-Hartfoy.d

A Singular Romance.

"A Remarkable Love Story-Truth Stran-
ger than Fiction.
Two persons lately sailed from New
York for Europe whose history is so
strange that. but for proof not to be
gainsaid, it might even be thought in
credible. No wild romance devised
by the most cunning weaver of sensa-
tional plot can surpass this history for
triumph over time, space and the Or
nary rules of probability. Again
promising that the story is we'll au-
thenticated we proceed to tell it,.
Z Nearly twenty years back there liv-
led in Rio Janeiro an English mer-
chant, whose life seemed entirely de-
voted to the pursuit. of fortune. He
had come to Brazil poor, and by reso-
lutte work and some luck, acquired a
competency. This done, after many
v1cissitndes he went home for visit.
While at home he met beautiful or
phan GIRL She was lovely in mind as
in person, and the compassion wrought
| by her forlorn situation in life soon
ripened in our merchants breast to a
warmer feeling. In brieS as the sto-
ry writer's say, the pair were married,
and returned togetherto Brazil Two
children were born to them, and life
glided on for a space like a single
summers holiday. Worldly prosper
ity, too, still attended the merchant,
who from time to time repeated his
visits to England. On one ofithese
occasions strange rumors came to his
ears prejudicial to his wife. They
were little needed at first, but like
the poison of Iago, soon "burned like
the mines of sulphur" BY degrees
suspicion became jealous fury, and the
wife was directly charged with inf
deity. The lady being proud and
sensitive to fault Indignantly deni-
ed the charge, challenging her accus-
or to produce evidence, and withdrew
as much as possible from his society.
The tender affection of former days
gave place to Indifference and almost
aversion. No guilt could be fixed on
the wife, but some efforts made by
the hasband for reconciliation were
coldly received. In time their mutu.

Heartsick aud weary of old associa-
tions, the merchant wound up his af-.
fairs In Brazil, and came to 4 Norfh
America. Z Wandering vaguely about
in the west, he fell in with q party of
Red River traders, and subsequently
did good deal sof business in and.
about St. Paul. In that town he made
many friends, while avoiding close in-
timacies, and was notable for his
grave taeiturility and the strict honor
of all his dealings He refused in
yaFiably to Iningle in any social pleas
ures whatever, and impressed all who
came i'm contact with him as man
who labored under ineradicable SAT-
fering. Thus years rolled on, and the
wife had married again--the terms of.
separations under Brazilian law allow
ed her annuity by it, which proved in
the end a serious misfortune. Her
second husband was poor, although
an educated gentleman, fell into bad
health, and died year or two after
the marriage This left the wife and
her two children in destitute circum-
/ stances. and she scarcely knew where
TO turn. She then, like her first hus-
-
and down the earth. Led by some
mysterious influences, she, too, came
to the United States. and in the fall
of 1869 she too was in st. l'aul. 1t is
surprising statement to make, but
there is no doubt of the fact, that
the couple met once more. that the
old feeling revived, that the lady con-
clnsively established her innocence in
the mind of her husband, that they
were married again, and have lived in
the utmost felicity ever since. Roeh-
efoucould says that love srechauffe"
is ofno value, but hereis direct case
to the contrary, defying all likelihood
and exploding cynical epigraTns.-
With an ample fortune, and, we may
hope, both wiser for their painful ex-
perience, the twice welded pair have
once more sailed across the sea to set
tie down for the remainder of life in
their old home. 5iaca ~ l3slIs79 8
1t would puzzle the incest calcula-
tor of chances to determine the pre-
else ration of probability that SO sim
gular an event as this should occur.
When we remember the very email
proportion of like separations that are
followed by reunion at all, the Fe-nn-
ion in this case was affected in anoth-
er country, and ten thousand miles
from the place of parting, and that a.
second marriage on the part of the
woman interviewed, with fresh impedi-
ments and complications-this story
must certainly be pronounced one of

p9r Old Parson S., of Connecticut, was a
particular kind of person. One day he had
man blowing in field, and he went out to
see how the work was going on. The ground
was very stony, and every time the plow
struck stone the man took occasion to swear
a little.
"Look here," cried Parson S., "you must
not swear that way in my field"
"Well, I reckon you'd swear, too," said the
man, if you had to plow such stony field as
this"
"Not bit of it," said Mr.. S. "Just let me
show YOU"
So the parson took hold of the plow, but
he very soon had great trouble with the stones.
As stone after stone caught the plowshare,
Mr.. S. calculated:
"Well, I never saw the like!'
And this be repeated every time a stone
stopped his onward way. When he had
plowed around once, he stopped and said to
the man:
There, now! You see can plow without
swearing"
"But guess it's pretty near as bad to lie, "
said the man" "and you told dozen o lies.
Every time the plow struck stone, you said,
4 never saw the like when the same thing
had happened the very minute before"

SOMEBODY.


Somebody's eyes have grown DINNER,
Off in some quiet old home;
At morn when the evening stars glimmer,
Watching for some one to come
Watching while hearts grow the sicker,
AS day after day glides along,
Watching while tears fall the thicker,
Choking the lullaby song.
Somebody wandering over
Lands far away from his own,
Scents as OF old the sweet clover
That grows by the old door-stone;
Longs to 60 back and to mingle,
AS in the dim days of yore,
With those round the old cottage ingle-
Those who, alas! are no more.
Somebody's prayers are ascending ..
Ever for dear ones far away,
Prayers that His blessing attending
May keep them from going astray;
Prayers that float nearer and nearer
The throne of the Father above,
And, reaching the ear of the Hearer,
Areanswered in infinite love.
Somebody's life work is ended
Patient they wait now to go; /"
Long have they faithfully wended
Toilsome paths here below,
Soon the reward they'll be reaping
That to the faithful is given!
"Well done; come up!' and be keeping
Watch for somebody in Heaven.
