* MERRY HEART d rather be poor
and merry than inherit the wealth. Of
the indies with a discontinued spirit
A merry heart, cheerful spirit, from
which laughter wells up as naturally
as bubble the springs Of Saratoga, arc
worth all the money bags, stocks and
mortgages OF the city. The man who
laughs is doctor, with a diploma en-
dorscd BY the school Of Nature; his
face does more good in a sick room
than pound Of powders or a gallon Of
bitter draughts. # things SO right he
laughs, becaus he is pleased; if they
go wrong he laughs because it is
cheaper and better than crying. Peo-
pie are always glad to see him, their
hands isstinctiyely go half way to meet
his grasp, while they turn iuyolunta-
rily from the clamn1y touch Of the dys-
peptic, who speaks on the grcaning
key. He laughs you out Of your faults
while you never dream Of being offend
ed with him; it seems as if sunshine
came into the room with him, and you
never know whata pleasant world you
are living in until he points out the
sunny streaks On its pathway. Who
can help loving the whole souled, gen
ial laughter3 Not the buffoo1, uor
the man who classes noise with mirth
hut the CHEEKY, contented man Of
sense and mind! A good humored
laugh is the key to all breasts, The
truth is that people like to be laughed
at in a genial sort Of way. # you are
making yourself, ridiculous, you want
to be told Of itin a pleasant manner,
And it is astonishing how frankly the
laughing population can talk with
out treading on the sensitive toes Of
their neighbors. Why willthe people
put on long faces, when it is so much
easier and more comfortable to langhq
Tears come to US unsought and unbid-
den. The Wisest art in life is to Gull
tiyate smiles, and to find the flowers
where others shrink away for fear Of.
thorns. Tx.

energies and destroy their nervous
system in endeavering to accumulate
wealth, without thinking ofthe pres
ent happiness they are throwing away.
It is not wealth or high station which
makes man happy, Many Of the

both; but it is a radient, sunny spirit
which knows how to bear little trials
and enjoy comforts, and thus extract
happiness from every incident III life.

4 NEW method of pressing letters
in glass has been invented BY resident
of Wheeling, Va. The process is very
simple one. The letters to be used are
raised on the face of the plunger
used in pressing the glass in the moulds.
This method leaves the glass plate smooth
on either side and beside does away with
any artistic skill in coloring letters, as any
one can take brush and fill the letters
with the coloring matter. As glass is the
most durable substance known and one OF
the cheapest, this invention will enable IN
surance companies to provide the plates
which indicate the name of their companies
and which are placed on the property in
sured, at much less cost than the tin plates
now in use. The glass; too, is capable OF
any degree of ornamentation, and when
the die and plunger are once made thou
sands of plates may be struck from the
mould. The same may be said Of all tho
varieties of advertising plates and cards
which are used in great numbers.

A FRENCH engineer, who has lately been
studying the circumstances under which
the slipping of the wheels of locomotives
occurs, concludes that it is both more
general and complex phenomenon than has
hitherto been supposed. He observed,
that in going down an incline of
o.Oo5 in metre, with speed of 12o kilo-
metres per hour, that the real velocity OF
the coupled wheels was $50 turns per
minute, instead of 3O3 turns, which would
correspond to- the rate of translation. he
finds from further inquiry, that the slip
ping is almost NIL in ascending an incline,
but that it is also very notable always In
descending. 1t increases very rapidly with
the speed, but appears TO be greater, for
the same velocity, in descents than ascents.
Its suppression, if possible by any MEANS
would, of course, effect considerabl econ
omy in the consumption of fuel and in the
wear Of machinery.

The substitution of the new article, ap.
paratine, for gum, starch, gelatine, &C.,
in finishing the various kinds of fabrics Of
cotton, wool, or silk, and also for thicken-
ing in calico printing, appears to be de-
eided success. According to q Leipsic
journal, it affords very superior effects,
imparting hitherto unattainable velvety
surface, and rendering transparent articles
as stiff as metallic foil. This substance is
prepared by stirring vigorously sixteen
parts of potato starch into seventy-si1
parts of water, and then adding, with con-
tinued stirring, eight parts of potash OF
soda lye of twenty-five degrees. After a
few minutes, the liquid clears up and forms
q gelatinous mass, and this is well beaten
up, the quality of the apparatine being de-
pendent on the amount of beating. 1t
simply dries in the air without deeomposi-
ton or spelling, or acquiring any odor,
and may be formed into thin, transparent,
colorless sheets, resembling horn, but
more flexible.

During Mr.. Gladstone's Premiership,
Sir George Pollock called one morning in
Downing street to thank the Prime Minis
ter for making him Governor of the Tower
A cabinet council had just assembled; but,
rather than keep the veteran waiting, MIR.
Gladstone invited him into the council
chamber and introduced him to his COL
leagues. Sir George entertained his new
acquaintances with tedious story about a
nobleman who had been detected cheating
at cards, ending his narration with: 'They
turned him out of all the clubs he belonged
to; even the Reform would have nothing
more to say to him!" A way of proving
the enormity of the card-player's offense
that must have pleased his hearers amaz-
ingly, since all, or nearly all, of them were
members of that famous Liberal club.
The old governor sincerely meant what
his words implied. Such is not always the
case with utterers of malapropos things.
When a note was handed to DR.. Fletcher
in his pulpit, intimating that the presence
of a medical gentleman, supposed to be in
the church, was urgently required else-
where, the preacher read the letter out,
and, as the doctor was making for the door,
fervently ejaculated "May the Lord have
mercy on his patient!" A Scotch minister
exchanging pupits with friend one SUM-
day was aocosted after service by an old
woman anxious to know what had become
of her "ain minister" "Oh," said he,
che is with my people to-day" "Indeed,

SCIENTIFIC.


EFFoRTs have for some time past been
made, in England, to discover method
Of applying iron and wood in combination
in shipbuilding, SO as to realize the strength
and durability Of iron and the buoyancy Of
wood, thus enabling the vessel to be
sheathed with anti-fouling metal, and, by
this means, to obtain greater speed and
weight-carrying powers. Recently, ves-
sci has been constructed with view to
realizing this end. She is an iron three
masted schooner, of 236 tons, clipper built,
planked with wood from keel to gunwale
which is fastened to the iron by means Of
wooden bolts with iron heads driven from
the inner side of the ship, forming a se-
cure fastening, and preventing all galvanic
action; over this Flanking, she is sheathed
with the ordinary yellow metal. Impor-
tant results are anticipated with regard to
speed from this method over the ordinary
iron vessel, and the planking is also said
to be adaptable to the restoration Of old
iron vessels.
