The Russians propose making great use of the torpedo to drive the Turkish gun boats from the Danube. They have been building numbers of small steam launches about 30 feet in. length. They will carry each torpedo attached to spar protrud- ing from the prov, are expected to drive directly at the Turkish. ships and blow them up with the torpedo. Their crews will be protected by shields from the fire of small arms, and they are so small and swift that they cannot be easily struck by cannon shot. We have noticed. however, that the torpedo is never as effective a a weapon as one would think it should be; it will do occasional damage, but has nev. CT yet proved reliable naval arm either of offense or defense.

 FAVORABLE SYMPToMs.-The Hampton government seems progressing favorably in South Carolina. There Is Bourbon element there, as elsewhere South; but, it is evidently in minority. Justice Will lard, the Republican Judge of the Su- preme Court who took conservative ground last winter. has been chosen chief justice. and an able democratic lawyer has been chosen to seat on that bench with the approval of Republicans as. we'll as Democrats. The legislature also votes by a very large majority to pay $27O, ,0O0 in- interest on the State debt.

Nothing is clearer to me-" says 20 years resident of Spanish-American coun- tries, in the N. Y. Times, ''than that New York will pever hold her position by merely shipping grain and iobbing in dry goods." Commercial enterprise has died out he says in that city and throughout the East. The plan for spending sixty mil. lions on another Pacific railroad, when that amount might give commerce Da- rien ship canal, and '.make New-York the center of the world." he considers pain fully provincial" The commerce of the South American states has been practi- callv given over to European traders. American ships are driven of the sea, and New-York is no longer a commercial city. The United States is represented in Span. ish American countries by broken down politicians instead of men familiar with those countries and awake to the necessi. ties of American commerce.
 Undoubtedly much of this criticism is just. The war ruined our mercantile na- ", while it opened immense fields of en. terprise for home trade and manufactures. Those fields have been over-worked. The West IS becoming region of traders and manufacturers that no longer recognizes any supremacy of New York, or the East. Now. labor. rents. interest on capital. are lowered to point where American enter. prise can once more compete with foreign for the commerce at least our own conti. nent.

he thought, poor sermon. 1t is very
likely that it Was so. for ministers some
times do such things. but they have
different ways Of meeting the humilia-
tion. Some put on = bold face and pre-
tend to care nothing about it; some
look dignified. as if they had said
something solemn aud deep; others
comfort themselves with the thought
that they will do better next time
But DR.. Stillmsn was so mortified that
he could not eat his dinner. and was
sick in bed. "Jeph:hah," he family
said. Il shall not be ablc to preach
this afternoon. Yon must see the
deacons and ask them To get some other
minister to supply my pulpit-Mr
Chauncey. Mr.. kirkland or Mr.. Eckley."

ou re gong TO leave the homestead,

You're twenty-one to- day,
And 'he old man will he sorry. John,
10 see you go away.
You've labored late and early. John.
And done the best you could;
! amt going to stop you, John,
! wou.dn', if could:
fe; something Of your feelings. John.
spose | ough: to know;
Though many day has passed away
Twas forty years ago
When hope was high within me, John.
And life ali lay before,
That | with strong and measured
stroke,
Cut loose and pulled from shore"
The years they come and 60. my boy.
The years they come and go,
And raven locks and 'resses brown.
Grow white AS driven SHOW:
Ny life has known its SORROWS, John,
Its trials aud troubles sore,
let God with all has blest me. John.
I'm basket and in store"
But one thing let me tell you, John,
Before you make your start.
There's more in being honest, John.
Twice DER than being smart;
The rogue may seem to flourish, John,
And sterling worth to fail.
Oh keep in view the good and true,
Twill i'll the end prevail.
Don't think too much of money. John,
And dig and delve and plan,
And rake and scrape in every shape
To hoard all that you can.
Though fools may count their riches,
John.
In shillin.s. pounds, and pence.
The best OF wealth is youth and health,
And good. sound common sense.
And don't be mean or stingy, John.
But lay little by
Or what you earn-you will soon learn
How fast will multiply;
So when old age comes creeping on,
You'll have Q goodly store
OF wealth and yoatb and health.
And may be something more.
There's shorter cuts to fortune. John,
We see them every day.
But those who save their self-respect
ClimO up the good old way.
"All is not gold that glitters, Jnhn,"
And makes the vulgar stare.
And those we deem the richest, John
Have oft the least to spare.
Don't meddle with your neighbors,
John.
Their business or their cares,
You'll find enough to do. my boy,
To mind your own affairs;
The world is full Of idle tongues.
You can afford to shirk;
There's lots of people ready, John.
To do such dirty work.
And il amid the race for fame
You win shining prize.
The humble worth of honest men
You never should despise;
For each one has his mission. John.
IN hfe's unchanging plan;
Though lowly be- his station. John,
He is no less man.
BE good. be pure. be noble, John,
BE honest, brave and true.
And do to othcre as you would
That they should do to you:
Aud place your trust in Christ. my boy,
Though fiery darts be hurled,
Aud you can smile at Satan's rage
And face frowning world.
Goodbye, John; may heaven guard
Your footsteps day by day;
The old home will be lonely, John,
When you have gone away.
The cricket's song upon the hearth
Will have a saddeT tone;
The old familiar spot will be
So lonely when you're gone.
