RELIGION NOT OF THE INTELLECT.-The
knowledge of divine things does not come
to us primarily through the intellect. 1t
is not the great brain but the great heart
which helps to gain them. Wecannot work
at the problems Of theology in the calm of
our libraries, and arrive at the most COM
plete faith, and put it by on the shelf as a
thing gained once for all, and then 60 on
leading selfish, sinful, prayerless lives,
keeping our faith all the time quite safe
and undisturbed, like our knowledge OF
Euclid or astronomy. This is not religious
faith, nor is religious faith to be gained in
any such way, or preserved in any such
life. Religious faith, in its high, true sense,
is thing which God gives, not in answ err
to studies and researches, but to prayers
and deeds. 1t is thing which the clearest
mini may lack and the humblest heart
possess in fullest measure.-F Frances Po-
ner CObbe.

There are sixty-nine national cemeter-

required to be noted on the stones are not

lars, which is not very large sum, if the
contract is decently carried out.

PROF. TYNDALL says that England must
soon yield to America in the great compe-
ton of the nations. The strength of both
is in their coal mines, and, in England,
these have nearly or quite reached their
maximum of production, while the anthra-
cite of America is but partially developed,
Pennsylvania stores of anthracite will
last for many years after they are drawn
upon to supply England. When they are
exhausted, the great reservoir Of bitumin-
Gus coal fields, to which anthracite beds are
but as mill pond to the Gulf of Mexico,
will be opened. With 1871, 900 square M lies
IN the United States, we can supply the
world for ages to come.

THE MANUFACTURE OF CoMBs.-The
largest comb mandatory in the world
is at Aberdeen, Scotland. According to the
description given of this vast and magnifi-
cent establishment, there are thirty-six
furnaces Cor preparing hons and tortoise
shell for combs, and no less than 100 iron
screw presses are constantly performing
the operation Of stamping them. Steam
power is employed to cut the combs. The
coarse combs are stamped or cut out, two
being cut in one piece at a time. The fine
dressing combs are cut by fine saws, some
so fine as to cut forty teeth in the space of
one inch and revolving 5000 in minute.
There are 1000 varieties of combs made,
and the aggregate number produced, of all
these different kinds is 5000, 900, a quanti-
ty, which if laid together lengthwise, would
extend about 200 miles. The annual con-
sumption of OK horns at this mandatory
amounts to about 700 900, and the consump-
ton of hoofs amount TO 1000 and the con-
sumption of tortoise shell and buffalo horn.

world, and embrace every variety in re-
spect to quality and price.

~ zz=zSRENEwER.
Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and / consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

The Richest Boy In America.

Everybody has heard of the late Edwin
A. Stevens, of Hoboken. His father
Colonel John Stevens, invested nearly al
his wealth in Hoboken lands, and soon
became the pOSseSSor of the vast tract
that stretches from the Elysian Fields to
point beyond the line of the terminus
of the Morris & Essex road, and from the
river to the Palisades. From a small vii
lage the tract became town, and from a
town city; and lots that were purchased
by the Colonel at less than one dollar
each, were soon worth five hundred times
that amount. The Colonel did not retire
upon his golden laurels. He projected
the Camden & Amboy and New Jersey
Railroads, and lived to see both in fair
way to completion. His hand and for
tune were visible in every improvement,
and his genius and disposition descended
to his son, the late Edwin A. Stevens. The
latter was the principal manager Of the
Camden 4 Amboy Railroad, and he ap-
Piled steam, then comparatively in its in
fancy, to all the various uses and projects
which had emanated from his busy brain.
F'orty-tWo years ago Edwin A. Stevens
was regarded as the most active business
man In the United States, and, making
due allowance for age, he preserved his
reputation up to within two or three
years of his death. The great iron bat
terry, which was the last embodiment of
his genius, was the forerunner of our
monitors.
Edwin A. Stevens left two sons. The
eldest is called after himself He is
bright lad of seventeen, unaffected in his
manners. The mother, who is still a
young woman, resides with her children
in the castle" above the banks of the
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1873-02-13

Hudson, near the heart of Hoboken. The
boy does not seem to realize that he is
heir to an estate worth $40 000, 900, and
that in four years he will probably be the
richest man in the world.
When he reaches his majority, the in
terest On his fortune will amount to a
larger sum than the salary of any crowned
head in Europe. 1t would be really diff
cult to compute what the Stevens estab-
lishmcnt will be worth in five years
more. A large number of leases of valu-
able houses and lots, now held at nominal
rents, will then revert to young Stevens,
and he will be the sole possessor of bonds
and other securities which are now val
ued at 100000. Should he live to the
age of his father, and be as lucky in his
ventures, his wealth will be greater than
Rothchilds' The lad, however, seems
to be unconscious of his destiny. He
may be seen daily playing on the lawn
in front of the castle where his father
passed his maturer ife.-Neoo York
