The lying tongue may weave web whose

And hearts may bleed-and bleed, and die,
which cannot slight and wrolg endure.
Beware the slanderer's poisonous breath-be-

Its trophies are tho unwept graves and

Making a He'll where Heaven once smiled,

Better the waves of the surging sea--better

These leave no pang, but merely kill-nOt 50

When death hath shrouded its victims eyes,
it glories that half its works but done.
To have your life's life lied away-to feel the

To breathe the air the serpent breathes-to
suffer death, and still endure; l''N
This 'tis to live, yet pray TO die; when hope

To yearn for death--the welcome tomb where

Whose mission on earth was but to kill with

No tears will flow on the sodden grave--no

RUNNING OARS BY LIGHTNING.

A young San Francisco mechanic is
now candidate for fame as the bene-
factor Of his race. by claiming tho light
ming of heaven to the rafting car. This
inventor has fled his caveat for patents,
and within few days past has waited
upon several wealthy citizens who have
the reputation of encouraging pro-
gressiye measures, to solicit assistance
for the development of his plans ON on
enlarged scale. He exhibits his drafts
and estimates to oil who desire to SEQ
them, and appears to have no desire to
conceal the principle or details OF his
invention. The electric motor devised
by this gentleman is designed specially
for the propulsion OF railroad cars, and
could hardly he adopted for ships, or,
in fact, any other purpose than that
mentioned, should it prove successful.
Tho principle is the construction OF
driving wheels OK enormous electro
magnets, which diverge from the center
in the same form as the spokes of an
ordinary wheel, the poles of each mag
net terminating with the outer circum-
ference. The electric circuit is COM
plete as the magnet impinges upon the
steel rails of the track. AS the poles
of each magnet forming the driving
wheel approach the track, an enormous
magnetic attraction is exerted, and, as
they pass the center, or perpendicular
point Of the magnet upon the track,
the current is cut off from each partic-
ular magnet and the attraction abated.
By the multiplication of driving wheels
Of this description, the inventor ex-
poets 10 acquire any degree of power
requisite, and accomplish any rate of
speed at which railroad car is capa-
BILE Of travelling, and NO possible dan
ger of the locomotive leaving the track.
In place OF the cumbersome steam boiler
and tender loaded with coal, the loco.
motive will carry magnetic battery Of
immense power. Such is the latest
shape assumed by the prospective cleo
tric motor, which is anticipated as one
of the achievements, sooner or later, Of
the present age of scientific progress.
Whether our San Francisco genius has
solved the problem remains to be seen
but his scheme is certainly entitled to
the merit Of novelty, and that at least
is gratifying indication that the world
is moving, especially in this latitude

A LITTLE Love AFFAIR. The follow
ing is going the rounds: When James
Lick was a young man, he fell in love
with q miller's daughter in Pennsyl-
vania. Young Lick faced the stern old
miller and asked for the hand Of his
daughter. Now James was a poor
young man, but honest and industrious,
and withal full Of pride. The old
man refused to grant James request,
and advised him not to "marry until
he had a competency to support wife. ?"
These remarks were rather humiliating
to young Lick's pride, and with empha-
sis he replied: "Sir, I shall see the
day when your boasted mill would not
make respectable wheat bin for the
one shall own" Years passed, and
James Lick erected, in Santa Clara
county, California, mill, the machin-
cry Of which is Of solid mahogany.
Shortly after its erection, he had pho
tographs taken of the inside and out
side Of his mill, and sent them to the
miller who had refused him the hand Of
his daughter. yi sr..l + =,

1 TOBACCO. Notwithstanding the her
culean Efforts Of the reformed to re-
strict and decrease the use Of tobacco,
official statistics ago to show that the
consumption of the e weed in this
country makes steady increase. Aside
FROM the amount consumed in other
forms, it appears by actual computation,
that the average number Of cigars
smoked in the United States each twen-
ty-four hours reaches the colossal ag-
gregate of 8, ,16S, 900, The smoker not
only pays for his enjoyment, but he
contributes heavily to the support of
The Government, which could hardly get
along now without the tobacco revenue.
For instance, during the last fiscal year
sc. .150 .060. Al in gold duties was derived
from imported cigars, and $50. .242, ,875.-
62 in currency from taxes on domestic
cigars and tobacco, or agrand totalsof

revenue nearly equal to 81 per capita Of

IT is said that Congress will finally appro-
pirate $1,5OO,OOO to the Centennial Exposi.
tion at Philadelphia. There is nothing like
sticking to thing and the Centennial Com
mission thoroughly appreciate the fact. Just
now they appeal TO national pride and there
is nothing that will SO stir up our people as
an intmation that the plumage'of our nation
al bird is in danger Of being plucked or tar
nished. There is bit of consolation in the
fact that the Commission have cut down
their requisition upon the national treasury
one-half in the past two years. The average
American citizen was not absorbed in the
Philadelphia exhibition to such an extent as
to neglect his business at the inception ofthe
enterprise and he warns slowly to the work.
Few people can afford to visit Philadelphia
probably not over five hundred of our Maine
people will be able to avail themselves of the
privilege of witnessing the exhibition, yet we
doubt not that having TO choose between an
unworthy representation of the state and a
legislative appropriation they would through
state pride, approve of their representatives
voting a fair amount as the part of the tax
payers toward an object, which, of itself,
they would not so heartily endorse as to give
it money.
