lost the game, was only too glad to make terms
and to become the faithful slave OF the poor
fisherman, to forward his fortunes forever
after.
Many centuries after the time this story was
told, an English nobemsn, the Marquis Of Wor
cester, found genli in another vessel, and like
the Persian fisherman, after seeing him unrol
and display his mighty proportions, enticed him
ba to his inclo=ure and secured his services fol
all time to me.
The name OF this geni was Steam The family
is very large one. Qulte much il one
OF the members was President Of repnbli., and
had offices to bestow on every one Of his rela
tion-. 1t dwes in every sea- lake, mountain, del
or river. You have only to wave wand of fire
and the power comes.
The humbiest dame seeking consolation in her
Bohea can raise it, often to her CONSERVATION al
its temper, which, unlike that VI genii of old, is
slightly irascible.
And so poor peasant in Newcastle on Ty ne
threw his net, in the eighteenth century, aud
caught the Senl, prlsOneu him in an iron vessel,
placed it on wheels. and babe the world look at
the work he could perform.
And the world has looked, and wandered, and
admired, and benefited by this capture, and to-
day acknowledges one Of it's greatest benefac-
tors George Stephenson, OF England.
How the monster has been working since!
The mighty pillows Of the ocean know him and
give way to his proves. The placid lake breaks
into smiles as he comes, and ripples, in laughter,
as he go s. The rapid rivers yield their curreats
to his vgor, and throw themselves in dispa,ring
waves On the il banks.
The paths DER which his steps are picked
on land, once few and short, now stretch their
iron Ines ali over the globe.
1imid aud falterirg, men fret led him on the
plains and by the sides of cour-ing rivers. But,
bOider grown with every year, they soon essayed
tue mountain tops, and the Alps now tremble be-
meath his tread.
Nay, not content with that, through the very
mountains, through the eNerla -tirg rock this
path has gone.
And now, the sea itself prepares to give up its
bed, nj d its monsters to shrink back III dl-may
from one more powerful than they.
And what shall We say OF the result OF this
work?
Fancy the Gulf Stream that now hrtilizes the
western shores Of Europe turned upon the icy
coasts OF La brsdori Imagine the sun that now
looks with averted glance on the North beaming
with tropical warmth on Its frozen fields. Con-
ceive the deserts Of Africa, musical with running
river; or ne rugged Iocks OF mountains clothed
