DINING TABLEs.-One of our cores
pondents now travelling in Russia sends us
description of the novel dining table OF
the Emperor, now in use in one of the
Peter-hof palaces, near St. Petersburgh.
The table is circular and is placed on a
weighted platform. At the touch of sig
nal like the rub Of Aladdin's lamp, down
goes the table through the floor, and a
new table, loaded with fresh dishes and
supplies, rises in its place. But this is
not all ; each plate stands on a weighted
disk, the table cloth being cut with cir
cular openings, one for each plate. If a
guest desires change Of plate. he touches
signal at his side, when, presto. his plate
disappears and another rises. These me.
chanical dining tables render the presence
of servants quite superAuous. Ia this
country, at the Oneida community, they
employ dining tables having the central
part made to revolve. Here the goblets
spoons, tea and coffee, castors. pitchers and
other necessary articles Of table furniture
are placed; revolving the center piece. the
sitter brings before him whatever articl,
may be desired without the Intervention
Of special waiter.-Scientifc American

Patience.

Why are we so impatient Of delay,
Longing forever for the time to be?
For thus we live tomorrow in to-day,
Yea, sad o-morrow we may never see.
We are too hasty; are not reconciled
To let kind nature do her work alone;
We plant our seed, and like a foolish child
We dig it up to see if it has grown.
The good that is to be we covet now,
We cannot wait for the appointed hour;
Before the fruit is ripe, we shake the bough,
And seize the bud that folds away the flower.
When midnight darkness reigns we do not see
That the sad night is mother of the morn;
We cannot think our;own sharp.ag
May be the birth pang of joy unborn.
Into the dust we see our idols cast,
And cry that death has triumphed, life is void
We do not trust the promise, tha the last
OF all our enemies shall be destroyed
With rest almost in sight the spirit faints.
And heart and flesh grow weary at the last
Our feet would walk the city of the saints,
Even before the silent gate is pass ed.
Teach us to wait until thou shalt appear
To know that all ways and times are just
Thou seest that we do believe aud fear,I
Lord make US to believe and trust

A VEsUvIUs IN CoLoRADo.-A start
ling piece Of news has just come to hand !;
no less than minute descriptio on, by more
than one credible witness, of volcano
bursting forth few miles north of US.
We were inclined at first to doubt the
statement, but it comes so straight, and the
story is so we'll told, that it seems there
must be something to it. The facts are,
that last Thursday Mr.. Burke, a trust
worthy man of this place, was out pros
pectlng near the head of the North Bowl
der. (Your correspondent having been
over. that country, is prepared to testify
that in ages past volcanic eruptions must
have been common there.) Our prospector
saw smoke at distance, which he at first
attributed to FIRE in the woods. But
second thought convinced him that was
not possible, as its locality was far above
timber line. So, with the usual zeal of
prospector for something new, he clam
bered up and down and over several
ridges of the main range, until arriving at
the place he found himself on the edge of
veritable crater. The place had evil
NSAeiy ShSS bOSh GuC SCcuc VI great dQO
long continued volcanic acton, for there
was plainly to be traced the rim of
prehistoric crater about one mile in diam
eter. Within the ancient bowl and near
the edge the young volcano had commenced
operations. 1t did not emit violently while
he was there, but contented itself with an
occasional spasm, the rest of the time
smoking as pleasantly as an old tobaccon-
ist. But the best proofs Of his story are
hits of lava, evidently of recent origin,
and several Jumps of scoria. These are
now being handed about among the boys,
and are regarded with as much curiosity
and interest as is ever manifested in the
last rich STRIKE" A large party will
start from here in few days, determined
to authenticate or disprove the matter.
Several men have already been there. and
all return with lava trophies.-[ Central

Is YouR NorE Coon "A Boston law

stock of waste paper.

The boy looked at the paper doubtingly
a moment, and offered fifteen.
Done" said the lawyer. and the paper
was quickly transferred to the bag by the
boy, whose eyes sparkled as he lifted the
wei gaty mass.
Not till it was safely slowed away did
he announce that he had no money.
mo money! How do you expect to
ny paper without money!"
b Not prepared to state exactly his plan
of operations, the boy made q, reply.
"Do you consider your note good?"
asked the lawyer,
"Yes, SIR"
Very we'll; If you say your notes
good, I'd just as soon have it as the mon-
ey; but if it isn't good I don't waat it."
The boy af6rmed that be considered it
good whereupon the lawyer wrote . note
for fifteen cents, which the boy signed
legibly, and. lifting the bag Of papers,
trudged of.
Soon afer dinner the little fellow re-
appeared. and, producing the money,
announced that he had come to pay his
note.
