Words Of Wisdom.

To believe business impossible is the
way to make it so.
Under our greatest troubles often lie
our greatest treasures.
The enjoyment of being able to make
a very little go a great way has real
zest.
There are many shining qualities IN
the mind of man, but none so useful as
discretion.
Some speakers and writer's have a
river eff words, but only spoonful OF
thoughts.
No woman can be beautiful by the
force of features alone, any more than
she can be witty by the help OF speech.
We should do by our cunning as we
do by our courage-always have it ready
20 defend ourselves, never to offend
others.
The wise man makes equity aud JUS
tice the basis of all his conduct, the
right forms the rule of his behavior.
Difference and modesty mark his exte-
rior, sincerity and fidelity serve him for
accomplishments.
II you know a man who is willing q
kiss your boots because you are rieh
you may be sure that there is some one
whom he Ecompels to kiss his Doo's n
return. He who will cringe before one
who is bigger than himself viii play tne
tyrant over one smaller than himself.
You are coward, if afraid TO tell the
truth when you should do so. You are
coward when you insult the weak. Yoq
are coward if afraid to do right, if yoa
shrink from defending your Opinion
from maintaining that which you know
TO be Just and good and you az
pecially coward if you know
things of yourself, and care nof
| them TO yourself.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1878-04-10

On one side of the instrument, as seen
in the sketch is q sensitive diaphragm,
which vibrates in accordance with the
sounds made in front of it. This dia-'
phragm carries a point as represented,
which closely approaches the surface of
a cylinder, around which tin foil or other
easily indented material is wound. The
cylinder is revelved by clockwork at a
regular speed before the point, and as
the diaphragm is vibrated by the sound,
the point vibrates correspondingly
against the cylinder, and thus indents
the tin foil in manner exactly cores
ponding to the length and frequency of
the vibrations of which the sounds are
composed, thus making an exact record
of the sounds upon the surface of the
cylinder. Having thus recorded the
sounds in the form of indentations, it now
only remains to reproduce it or make
the instrument "talk back, or repeat
vocally what was previously recorded.
This open stem is simply the reverse
of the other. On the opposite side of
the instrument may be seen second
diaphragm, also provided with point,
which, as the indented surface revolves,
rides in and out of the indentations
made by the recording point, ana thus
causes the reproducing diaphragm to be
thrown into vibrations corresponding
exactly to the original vibrations,
and thus reproducing the original
sounds in all their integrity. This
reproduction can be effected any
time after the recording, so that
the tin foil can be removed from
the cylinder, be preserved for centuries,
and again wrapped upon the cylinder
and made to speak, sing or laugh, &C.
cording to the nature of the recorded
sounds, years after the speaker or sing
er had turned to dust.
If such a thing is possible, as is now,
in fact, accomplished by the Phono-
graph, the question may, indeed, be
asked, what is impossible to human ge-
MUS Z? and we are forced to exclaim with
a recent writer on the telephone
"Oh Science give us one more link,
That we may hear our neighbors think"

Act from Principle.

How few persons there are whose lives
are governed entirely from principle
rather than inclination. Even those OF
us who may be endeavoring to live for
high purposes, come far short OF our
aspirations alas how very far short.
How. often we find our convictions OF
right and duty questioning if it might
not be as we'll for us to yield to incllna-
ton, Just for the time, promising our
disturbed consciences that we will make
up for the present indulgence by more
vigorous self-denial and strict attention
to duty. Vain, fallacious reasoning OF a
weak nature we can never make up Tor
one neglected opportunity, one mls-spent
hour, one wrong, selfish act. Once past,
the opportunity unimproved, the hour
wasted, the act committed, it Is beyond
our reach to recall, except in thoughts OF
regret. We1 may atone for it, but we
can never change the past. Alas how
painfully we are aware of this fact. Then
should we all endeavor the more earn
estly to maks our lives embodiments OF
principle for we all know that, after
all, the path of duty, though sometimes
rugged, is not without sweet pleasures ;
and let us never follow our inclinations,
if they would lead us away from right.
Then shall we be permitted at the last
to look back upon our lives with salts
faction, feeling that we have " done what
we could" and that our Father regards
us with approval.

DepopuIatIOn Of st. Helena.

A curious description has been given
of the decrease of the population of the
island of st. Helena, memorable in all
history as the scene of the last years of
Napoleon. It's industries have been al
most ruined by the opening of the Suez
canal, which has diverted most India
going vessels from it's shores, and the
employment of steam cOndensers for
water on sailing vessels, saving them
from the necessity of calling at the
island for fresh supplies of water. One
fourth of the population has immigrated,
and now there are only 1854 males, of
whom 1,154 are children, left on the
island. The revenue, chiefly derived
from customs duties, is but very little
more than $50, 900, and but little more
than $25, 900 is spent on all the public
establishments of the island. The peo-
pie are asking for a grant of money
from England, but they are urged to
have recourse to improved agriculture
and attempt the growth of fine species of
tobacco, of the cinchona plant or the
oil yielding rose, all of which are, it is
said, adapted to the climate and soil.

AUNT HEPSYS HAIR TRUNK.

It was an old. fashioned trunk, iron
bound and antiquated, with the name Ct
its former owner inscribed on the lid il.
brass nails. Much longer than it was
broad or high, it bore funereal sug-
gestiveness, and bespoke nothing of the
wardrobe il might contain. Aunt Hep
sy called it hair trunk, why We do not
know, for there was very little vestage
of the capillary substance visible on any
part of it. 1t was historic trunk; she
said 1t descended to hersfrom the revo-
lution-and it certainly looked as
though it had.
Aunt Hepsy had never been much Of
n traveller, and her experience, even
after fifty years, in that particular di-
rection was limited however, on the
day of which we speak, she started on a
Journey" she and the hair trunk, ami
bandbox, and q calico bag, and rose
bush. A niece who lived with and bid
fair to follow the maidenly precepts of
her aunt, assisted her in packing, and
saw her safely seated in the antidiluvia1
vehicle which was to convey her to the
railway, and it rolled away with this
solitary passenger. The vehicle had
only proceeded few rods from the
house when Driver, driver, hold on,
STOP" was heard from the inside of the
coach "What's the matteEsmarm ?" asked
John. 4" 1 forgot my umberel won't
you run back and tell Jane to give it to
you? It's in the right hand corner of
the keepin' room pantry. Tell her to
be kerful and not knock down the penny
royal" "Blame the umbeTelar," quoth
the knight o. the whip, as he dismount-
ed, and hurried toward the house.
Hardly had he proceeded a dozen steps
when the horses started /; moved by
some unprecedented impulse they broke
into a run, and shouts of "whoa, whoa,
driver, driver" issued from behind the
Tapping curtains of the coach. Sudden
ly there was q cessation and a moment
later could you have looked into the
coach you would have seen the driver
tanning Aunt Hepsy with the lid of that
faVorite band-box.
AS she opened her eyes and looked
half consciously into the drivers face,
her first words were " lis the trunk safe?"
not for a moment realizing the romance
of her position. 81 guess so, marm, "
replied the protector, "but if we keep
on this way, can't ketch that there
train no how" Everything being re-
stored to order again, the driver mount
ed his seat and they rolled away once
more. Every thing went smoothly ex-
cept when the wheels struck an occa-
sional stone in the road, which did not
improve Aunt Hepsy's opinion of travel
ing, nor the condition of the rose-bush.
They arrived at the station just in
time to join the confused crowd who
were rushing hither and thither. Aunt
Hepsy became mixed up in the multi
tude, was whirled and iostled along
all the time calling at the top of hel
voice where's my trunk, where's my
trunk? Have you seen any thing ol
my trunk ?" she asked of the engineer
as she fetched up against the side of the
cab; terrible shrek of the whistle

A Medical View OF Cats.

Thewell known English medical paper,
the Lancet, speaks thus unkindly OF the
domestic cat: Apart from the mischief
these creatures may do by lying upon
your young children for warmth, and
suffocating them, they are by no means
to be despised as enemies. When ex-
cited or stirred to anger it is more
easy to defend the body from the direct
attack of dog than to repel the sly and
sudden onslaught of cat. 1t is, more
over, a mistake to suppose that there is
no danger in the bite or the scratch OF
one of these animals. There have been
abundant and melancholy proofs OF the
peril of contracting hydrophobia from
cats. The danger is scarcely less than
that which attends an injury inflicted
by dog. This should be borne in mind,
and if the consideration should have the
effect of diminishing the number OF cats
maintained, or rather kept without any
adequate provision for their support, the
population will be the gamers.
