lish work reviewing the whole of modern
science and religion from the standpoint Of
the Hermetlc philosophy. with such aids as
may be given by the Zsnd Avesta, the Vedas,
and the arcana of Persepolis and other an
cient places much afiecte by Augusta J.
Evans and adopts oi q profnndity not less
than hers. Darwin, Huxley, Haeekel and
all the scientific men of the day will learn
what Hermes Trismegis,us, Philo, Plotinus
and Manetho thought about natural selection
and the persistence Of types. The poor
Positiyists will have their hair combed in Il
dreadful way, and the materialists will be
set up on the fools bench in the corner.
An old gentleman who read the manuscript
of the works says that it will create a revolu-
ton. All the cycloE edias and books of
quotations have been ransacked for mystic
lore, and the author has even learned who

originally proceeded from inferior no urlsh-
ment and evidence Of weaker organlza-
tion than is possessed by persons OF dark
eyes The less c0loring matter there IS,
the LIGHTER the hue OF the eye, until, by
reason of its utter absence, the blood vessels
becoxe visible and the eye Is red, as Is the
case with the Albinos. The fact that peo-
ule living in the country, other things
being equal. have light-colored eyes more
frequently than those living IN cities Is
accounted for by the inferior nutrltlve Valne
of the vegetable food of the former as com
pared with the meat and beer OF the people
! of the cities. In the mingling OF the blonde
and dark types, the Litter usually shows the
greater vitality, and the children assume
the darker complexion. The blonde COM

esnization and higher and thinner voice

THF LOCOMOTIVE or THE PAST.-Ihc first
locomotive run on the Boston and Worcester
Railroad. and the first between Paterson and
jersey City. had Wm. II. Hoyey for engineer.
lie has not been on the road for twenty
wears. The Boston and " Worcester Railroad
imported one OF Stcphenson's locomotives,
and the Introduction Of the machine caused
a great deal OF excitement. The engineer
sent by Stephenson put the parts together
and steam was got up. but the engine stub
bornly refused to move. \ party Of laborers
combined their strength to give 1t start,
and when, by dint of their tugging and
straining, the frs: movement was made,
steam was again turned on. The engine
only backed into its former position. The
president sent for Mr.. IIoyey, and he found
that the engineer had put the pieces
together after plan OF his own, bending
them "t0 make them fit. The result was
an engine possessing back action rot con
temulated by the maker. The errors OF
construction having been remedied, Mr..
Hovey mounted the engine, turned on the
steam. and, with flourish OF the whistle,
started Down the track for Newton. This
was the first locomotive that ever ran out ol
Boston. About two years aiterward Mr..
lovev was sent for from Paterson, y. j.
10 start the first engine, also one of Stephen

Railroad. The track ran by the side OF the
turnrike. The stage drivers were lublianl

hung'O. his creed nevertheless had little IN
common with an established form ot Chris
tiantv, The kernel of his view Of the world
was mystic optimism. lie interprets all
things by the light of loye-and his love is
an endless longing, wide as the world, tlngcd
at times with darkest melancholy, and from
thence rising to the most JOYOUS exultation,
fulfilled at times with hopeless desire, and
sinking into utter resignation. In the jar
yon of his iavOrite prose moraiIsts or senti-
mental rhymesters one finds him frequently
squirting out crude and sententlOus phrases
in the vain hope Of giving verbal expression
to the ecstatic faith that filed him. Many
religious and moral commonplaces seem to
have served him as themes for mystic mus
ings. much a. Diabclli's harmless lIitle valse
served a. a starting point for his wondrous
excursions in the thirty-threc variations.
Taking his life all in all. he appears to have
lived through much lonely pain and misery,
much discomfort, vexation ana anxiety, with
that sort Of heroic resignation which Carlyle
sets down Us the highest thing attained in
this world Of physical want and mental dis
tire :. At intervals the spirit of some OF his
last works proves him to have risen to some
thing like the mental quiet and the emo
tonal cxaltation Of saint. His contem-
poraries naturally did not at once hail him
as the high priest OF art such as he was, but
it is encouraging to note how the few truly
discriminating minds, who in the end practl-
cally represent the public, and whose suf-
frage is the only guarantee of immortality,
received him with genuine sympathy. Inc
warmth and depth OF his ethical sentiment i.
now felt all over, and it will before long be
universally recognized that he has lsavened
and widened the sphere Of mems emotions in
a manner akin to that in which the concep-
tion- Of great philosopbsrs-of Plato, Kant.
and S.hopenhauer-have widened the sphere
