NOcturne.

Pale Twilight in her gown of gray
Comes swiftly down the western way,
With Moonshine Fastening after:
And here among the woodland lampS
She lights her pretty freely lamps.
And stills the wild winds laughter
The lilies and the mignonctte
Within the garden border set
Lift all their leaves to greet her.
With dewy kiss she doth rcquitc
Their tenderness. and with delight
They straightway grow the NWertcr.
The swallows from the iNlcd caves
Fly in and out among the leave
In household ministration~:
Their downy babies iii the nest
'hirp softly as they go to rest,
And dream of future rationS.
The brook in trilling monotone
Hath sleepy welcome of its own;
The delicate cedarS quiver,
But all the meadow sounds are still,
The fockS are folded on the hill,
Beyond the placid river.
Sweet twilight. a, thou com'>t 10 these
With healing dew and soothing hreeze.
50 come thou unto me.
Bring gentle dreams and quiet rest
Weave, weave thy spell, O shadow guest,
In still henignlty,

Miss White, think you called her-bids

s'We think the authoress will become cell

lady pertly, with marked emphasis on two
words of the sentence,

the humblest teacheress, unusual talent is
shown. There is MISS Harper, who, as a
chemistess, is unequalled, and Mrs. Knowles
has already reputation as an astronomer

can equal Miss Kellogg as a singeress.n
The young lady did not appear to like
the chair she was sitting on. She took the
sofa st the other end of the room.

if talking to himself, ''those White sisters
are very talented. Mary, 1 understand, has
turned her attention to painting and the

good offices, tends to keep alive q popular
feeling of reverence for what is established

''The fancy of the mass of men is incred-
IDLY weak it can see nothing without

scarcely make out with symbol. Nobility
is the symbol of mind, It has the marks
from which the mass of men always used to

mon clever man who goes into country
place will get no reverence, but the odd
squire will get reverence. Even after he
is insolVent, when every one knows that
his ruin is but a question of time, he will
get five times as much respect from the
common peasantry as the newly made rich
man who sits beside him. The common
peasantry will listen to his nonsense more
snbmissiEely than to the new mans sense,
An old lord viii get infinite respect. His
very existence is so far useful that it
awakens the sensation of obedience to

multitude, who could neither appreciatenor

it prevents. 1t prevents the rule of wealth

A locomotive may easily make d mile a
minute, or go at the rate Of sixty miles an
hour; but to keep up this velocity, and ac-
tually make a mile minute for sixty con-
secutive minutes, is quite another question.
For short distance this velocity may be
even surpassed. The fastest time on record
in the United States was made on the New
York Central, on which once the velocity
was recorded Of a mile in fifty seconds,
which would correspond to a velocity of
seventy-two miles per hour; but this speed
was only observed for one single mile along
the route; therefore all the stories about en-
gines making eighty and ninety miles an
hour are absurd. Some Of the fastest runs
for a distance have been twenty-five miles
in thirty minutes from Springfield to Hart
ford; eighteen miles ia twenty minutes,
from MeFiden to New Haven; fifty-four
miles in iifty-eight minutes, on the Boston
and Albany road. This, then, may be taken
rs fair test Of American railway speed at
its best. The average time on most of the
roads may be put al about from twenty to
twenty-five miles an hour. The Philadel-
phia Express trains take three hours for the
distance from New York to Philadelphia
ninety-six miles. The average on the larg-
est roads in England IS fOrfy-three miles an
hour. The speed Of the trains on the
Great Western road is the greatest Of any
IN the kingdom and is ffty-one miles an
hour. One road-the London and North
wcsteTn-Tuns It's mail trains eighty-fvc
