NEARER TO DEATH we walk
near powerful machinery, we know that
one misstep and those mighty engines
will tear us to ribbons with their flying
wheels or grind us to powder in their
ponderous jaws. So, when we are
laundering across the land in a railroad
carriage, and there is nothing but an
inch Of iron flank to hold us on the
line. So when we are In a ship, and
there is nothing but plank between
us and eternity. We imagine, then,
that we see how close we are to the
edge Of the precipice. But we do not
see 1t. Whether on the sea or the land,
the partition that divides us from
eternity is something less than the oak
plank or half inch Aange. The ma
ohinery Of life and death is within US.
The tissues that hold the beating powers
in their place. are oftener not thicker
than sheet of paper. and if that thin
partition rupture, it would be the same
as II a cannon ball had struck Us.
Death is inseparably bound up with
life in the very structure Of our bodies.
Struggle as We would to widen the
space, no man can. at any time, 60
further from death than the thickness
of sheet Of paper.

Limit Your Wants.

Lord Bolingbroke, in his "Refec-
tions upon Exile" says: 'Our natural
and real wants are confined to narrow
bounds, while those which custom and
fancy create are confined to none. !"
Young men who are just entering upon
life. and forming the habits which are
likely to adhere to them to its close,
will do well to treasure up in memory
these true and instructive words of one
Of England's finest writer's and most
philosophic statesmen "Our natural
and real wants are confined to narrow
bounds. It 10 surprising how little it
is that is absolutely essential to mans
existence. aud, if be will take an intel
ligent and considerate view of life. to
his comfort and happiness. Intellect
ual enjoyments are comparatively cheap.
The cultivation of the mind, which af-
ford the highest and the only enduring
satisfaction, can be pursued on an in
come quite Insignificant for the supply
Of Injuries. Our physical wants are
very few, if we preserve our tastes
simple, as they are by nature To eat,
to drink. to exercise. to sleep. to keep
warm, and to be sheltered: small
sum will supply all these necessities.
The pleasures which are pure, and
which tend to our improvement are
within the reach of almost every one.
But the wants which fancy and custom
create, as Lord Bolingbroke well says,
are confined to no bounds 1t is against
these that young men on the threshold
Of life should sedulously guard. Be-
ware Of luxurious and expensive habits
The gratidcation Of them may cost you
much Of the labor and time which, if
given to intellectual cultivation, would
be far more conducive to happiness. It
is easy to do without that which you
have never INDUCED in. It is hard to
leave off habits. however extravagant
and absurd. When you are to decide
about adopting mode or style of liv-
ing, consider well whether it is certain
that, without Inconvenience, you will
be able always to preserve it. The
only safe rule is, to keep your wants
within narrow bounds.

Manufacture Of Razor Blades.


The celebrated razor blades produced
by Rodgers, of Sheffield, and which 60
to all parts of the civilized world. are
forged out Of bars of the very best high
ly carbonated cast-steel, tilted to about
half an inch in breadth, and Of thick
ness sufficient for the back Of the razor.
The blade is first moulded at the end
Of the porter-rod and then forged, and
the edge being brought out. the con-
cave surface is formed by working the
side on the rounded edge Of the anvil
it is then cut off, and the tang is either
drawn out from the same material as
the blade, or. if this be Of superior
quality, piece Of iron is welded to it.
The steel used is Of excellent quality,
SO as to undergo the beating necessary
to produce the thinner part, while the
back is left thick. Some Of the work.
men are SO expert in forging the blade
that they will produce on the anvil an
edge SO sharp and even that it can be
used for shaving after being whettsd.
After forging. the blade is smithed or
beaten on an anvil. to render the metal
as compact as possible. The blade is
also slightly ground. or scorched. after
the forging, on coarse. dry grit stone.
to bring it to the shape required and
remove the black scale or coating. The
blade is next drilled for the joint and
stamped with the name; then hardened
and tempered, and ground on whet-
stone Of from four to eight inches iu
diameter. $3.50
