A Mechanical Horse.

Aningenious gentleman of Berlin, Herr
Frederick Netzsch, has invented horse.
The animal is made of iron, and the mo-
tive power, instead of being its own legs,
is derived from the legs of the rider The
iron horse, as the Berlin papers called
him, showed off his PAGES the other day in
the garden of Hagen's summer Theatre,
in the presence of the leading mechan-
icians and journalists of the German cap
itaI. The concern is described as consist
ing of a couple of wheels, two metres
high between these "finds itself" the
horse upon which mounts the rider. The
latter moves his legs " after the English
fashion of riding" (this means, We pre-
sumo, that be rises and falls in his sad
dle), and the thing goes along as fast as
quick trotting horse. The road makes no
difference it is all the same whether the
machine goes gently over the stones or
moves swiftly on the hard high road, .
and the facility with which the strange
steed turned round corners excited the
admiration Of all bekOIders Herr
Netzsch believes that this invention will
be of great use to porters and others for
the carrying OF light loads, and be has
confident hopes that it will be highly ap-
pTeciated by the numerous classes who
are fond of saddle exercise but destitute
of the wherewithal to buy and maintain
horses of flesh and blood; he contem-
plates, too, its application to the drawing
Of cabs and other carriages. 1t IS even
conceivable that in thisinventiOn we have
the charger of the future. An animal
that does not eat and cannot die would be
of inestimable value in warfare. There
are one OF two significant omissions in the
vvhfri, VIZ No
are not told how a man Of flesh and blood
is expected to support the fatigue of mo-
wing, by rising in his stirrups, a creature
of iron, or if it be possible to keep it
going in any Llace less fat than Berlin, a
city which, as everybody knows, is as
level as a billiard d-board.-G Genera Conti-

THE "AGER,"

Once upon an evening bleary,
While 1 sat me dreamy, dreary,
In the sunshine thinking over
Things that passed in days of yore
While l no ided, nearly sleeping,
Gently came a something creeping
Up my back like water Ieapiug-
Leaptng upward from he hooT;
lis cooling BREATH" I muttered,
From the regions meath the floor
Only this and nothing more"
All distinctly remember
II was IN that wet September,
When the earth and every member
Of creation that it bore
Had for days and nights been soaking
In the naeanest, most provoking
toggy rains that, without joking,
We had ever seen before;
So I knew it must be very
Cold and damp benea b thu RocF-
Very cold beneath the floor
So I sst fne nearly mapping
IN the sunshine, stretching, gaping,
Craving water, but delighted
With the breeze from meath the floor;
Till found me waxing colder,
Aud the stretching growing boIder,
Aud myself growing older
Older than l felt before;
Feeling that my joints were stlffer
Than they were in days of YOre-
Sitter than they'd been before
All e1Ong my back the creeping
Boon gave place to rushing, leaping,
As if countless frozen demons
Had concluded TO explore
All the cavities-''the yarmints'-
'Twixt me and my neither garments,
Up into my hair and downward
Through my beets into the ho0T;
Then found myself a-shaking,
Gently first, but more and more
Every moment more and more.
Twas the " agerI'' and it shook me
In my very clothes, and took NE
Shaking to the kitchen every
Place where there was warmth in store;
Shaking till the dishes C altered,
Shaking till the tea was spattered,
Shaking, and with all my warming
Feeling colder than before;
Shaking till it had exhausted
All its powers to shake nae more
Till it could no: shake me more
Then it rested till the morrow,
Then resumed with al the horror
That 1t had the face to borrow,
Shaking, shaking as before;
And from that day in September
Day that shall long remember
1t has made diurDal visits,
Shaking, shaking on so sore
Shaking OF my boots, and shaking
Me to bed, if nothing moro
Fully this and nothing morel
ana to-day the swallows fitting
Round my cottage see me sitting
Moodiiy within the sunshine
Just inside my silent door
Waiting for the " ager," seeming
Like a man forever dreaming;
And the sunlight ON me streaming
Throws 40 shadow on the floor
For I am too thin and sallOw
To make shadows on the floor
Nary shadow any more

Noble Service of AN old He'll.

Paris (Kentucky) True Kentuckian ;
The bell that projects from the gable
end Of the old Paris hotel building has
hung there for about forty years. Near.
ly all the hands that pulled the bell
cord have been folded across breasts
that have ceased to throb. Times have
changed and men have changed with
them, but still the old bell hangs in its
place; and, if its notes were awakened,
would as in days of yore speak the
same language to alias kindly to those
in chill penury as those in regal splen~
dor This old bell has summoned Henry
Clay, Thomas IL. Clay and other illus
trious statesmen to repasts. The old
bell, like faithful sentinel. keeps its
post, and looks down kindly on the
growing generation.

THE Decatur Tribune, of August Sd,
speaking Of the connection between
Dallas and Wise county, says;
We are naturally inclined to trade
with Dallas, but our people are being
turned in the direction of Fort Worth,
and it will take moro than a road to
Denton and GAINESVILLE to change the
trade. There is not day that there is
not from eight or ten wagons loaded
with goods, lumber Nc, does not come
from Fort Worth to this place. All of
which could be secured to Dallas by the
proper effort, but it has looked to many
of our citizens as if Dallas did not care
for the trade of Montague, Jack and
Wise counties.
We are no alarmist, but we com,
mend the above to the thoughtful at
tention of those who don't believe the
deadlock on the Dallas and Wichita a
