it. High street will now have to be used as the
nearest approach to the several railroad sta

Angels join the triumphant song,
"Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow;
And babe us immortal to heaven ascend"
And the motto, ''The Saviour hath risen, and
Man shall not die" how fills out the lesson
of the day. The hearts Of men find strength
in the faith thus taught. The burden of grief
is lightened by the hopes in Christ's resurrec-
ton confirmed. The way of shadows has been
illumined by the Light of Life" This day
brings to US again the promise which in Jesus
ham; "And I, if l be lifted up. will draw all
men after me'' "Let not your heart be troub-
led, neither let it be afraid"

A New CAR OIL Box.-A wonder
full invention to take the place of the
old oil boxes on the railroad cars is be-
ing given trial by Commodore Van
derbilt. He has placed the new boxes
on a drawing room car running from
New York and Poughkeepsie. They
have been on for two weeks and appear
to be a success. The Lehigh Valley
railroad is the only railroad in the coun-
try using the invention at present. 1t is
the idea of Frenchman and is really
wonderful. One that had been used
for eight months, on the Lehigh road,
when opened was found to be almost as
full of oil as when filled. No cotton
waste is required. The boxes are sealed
and the oil is evenly distributed over
the journal. This distribution is so uni
form and precise that in summer water
can be used instead of oil When we
consider that the Central and Hudson
river roads pay from eight to twelve
thousand dollars per month for oil, ii
will be seen how valuable the new In
vention is. If oil is used eighty pei
cent is saved 1t will soon be applied
to all the cars on Vanderbilt's roads.
