at anything. There's no satisfaction
in it. But after the train left Toledo,
il was too hot to think, or sleep, or
talk. So just wondered:
Why it is right to steal from the Gov

Why jim Anderson should get off 50

Why it is wrong to kill the man
who says he told you so
Why the boys who made the Fourth
of July odorous and hideous with gun
powder from 1910 to 1856, inclusive,
are speechless with indignation at the
depraved and vicious tasts of the boys
who want to enjoy the same kind OF
celebration in 1873.
Why people always discussed
European politics as though they un-
der stood them
Why man should always 90 mad if
you frankly and for his own good tell
him he is making an ass of himself.
Why it is so herd to find q man
when you want to borrow money of

Why it is so hard to borrow the
money after you have found him
Why somebody doesn't come OIL, and

Why man always wishes he had

A Steam Balloon.

Another invention, which is occupy
ing the scientific world of Paris, is the
Guglielmini steam balloon. If the ex-
periments answer the inventors hopes
this balloon will be one of the wonders
of this age of wonders. The invention
is based on eight points: 1. Ascension
power. 2. Translative horizontal and
diagonal power. 3. Safety against
accidents. 4. Direction from one point
to another given point. 8. The material
employed in the construction of erial
steamboats,. 6. Perfectly @rial archi-
lecture. 7. The disposition of the as
centive power. 8. The maneuvres on
board and the degree of temperature of
aerostat. The gas employed is hydrogen,
disposed in twelve globes instead of one.
Once in the air, the boat, which is
oblong like ship, is moved ON by two
steam engines placed underneath the
heel. Thus is cuts the cir like other
boats cut the sea. With an engine of
fifteen horsepower thirty metres are
made in a second. The acting maneu-
vres consist in passing the excess of
hydrogen in the globes into others re-
served expressly for the guidance of the
boat, and then repassing them into their
first globes, according to the descent or
ascent which may be required.

Rosewood.

1t has puzzled many to decide why the
dark wood so highly valued for pianos,
and in these times SO cleverly initiated,
should be called rosewood. It's color,
certainly, does not look like that of a
rose, but when the tree is first cut, the
fresh wood possesses a strong, rose-like
fragrance; hence the name. There are
half dozen or more kinds of rosewood
trees found in South America and in the
East Indies and neighboring islands.
Sometimes the trees grow so large that
planks four feet broad and ten feet in
length can be cut from them. These
broad planks are principally used to
make tops for piano fortes. When grow
ing, the rosewood tree is remarkable for
its beauty; but such is its value in manu-
factures as an ornamental wood, that
some of the forests where it once grew
abundantly, now have scarcely a single
specimen. In Madras the government
has prudently had great plantations OF
this tree set out in order to keep up the
supply

operator were constantly being handed

ABSENCE.

And, when love is meath blight,
'Tis not presence, though in sight.
COURAGE.

Where deceit forms part
Rather heart without words

TRUE NOBILITY.
All noble minds may meet in mind,
And noble souls ave kin and kind
They are by time nor space confined;
The past is present, distance nears-
They meet across the gulf Of years,
POOR RICHES.
A man may be rich yet, if truth we're but told,
BE poor as ourselves, in the midst of his gold
Who moods what he lacks, be it word thought

Though prince in his wealth, is beggar in

SUBMISSION.

Help us heavenwsrd, but submission.
