After pointing out the great faults
and failures Of the present style Of
ocean vessels, a writer in the Amcri-
can Ship AYERS that the ship Of the
future will carry the ballast. If a
sailing vessel, her sail area and dis
placement will be so well balanced
that, IL the rudder we're lost OF disa.
bled, the vessel could be guided on
her course by her sails. The center
Of effort Of sails and of gravity Of
vessel will be adjustable, 50 as to
harmonic with the gripping influences
Of the lee line Of flotation.
The ships ofthe future will be prof.
liable, for they will be built for and
under n specific service, on scientific
principles; they will be designed,
built, loaded. and navigated, as they
have never been, with direct reference
to their equilibrium Of stability, the
safety Of vessel and cargo, with the
lives Of those on board. The rating
Characterization of vessels will then
be determined by an international, or
an independent, board; the British
Lloyds will have passed away, only to
be remembered as a corrupt organiza-
ton. The material Of vessels will be
steel for metallic, and bent timber
frames for wooden vessels. Under
this new dispensation of genius, ocean,

trips in six instead of seven-and-a-
half days, with roll angle not ex.

Governor Blackburn is using his
pardoning power to an extent that is
alarming. He is behaving in a man.
ner that is most extraordinary. He
is undermining the safety of society;
he is making justice farce; he is
making the law a derision; he is rem
dering life and property insecure; he
is demoralizing society; he is prepar-
ing for a revolution in the State. So
far his administration has been dealt
with by the State press much too len
iently. 1t is bringing disgrace upon
Kentucky, and disgrace that is not
unaccompanied by danger. He fails
entirely to understand the nature Of
law and the object of punishment. He
seems to be sentimentally insane. Not
much was expected OF him, but bet
ter things were expected of his advi-
sers. 1t is time for them to call a

The Absenf.

OF all the exercises of the unfetter-
ed mind, perhaps none is attended
with a more benign influence than that
of INDUCING in kind remembrance Of
the absent.
Every loved word that fell from the
lips Of the absent is treasured with
tenderness. Each kind act is recol-
lected with affection. We look for
ward to meeting them with unbound
ed happiness.
Have we parted in angeri Time
sofiens US into indiflerence-at length
into a quiet acknowledgment of past
friendship. Have we parted in ST.
lence Of enlargement This too,
wears away, and we meet again to
forget the past in future communions.
Have we parted in griefG The sorrow
is mutually borne, and tenderly con
signed to corner of our hearts devo-
ted to the absent sharer.
Have We parted in lover No joy

Have we parted by DEATH All !
the affection that travels with the
flown spirit TO its home in the realms
of light. The changed but ever in
creasing sacredness, of the love that
bound us on earth, is now freed from
its alloy. while the unfettered spirit
hoyers near, TO watch over us, and
bear the incense OF truthful and puri-
fed affection on the wings of endur-
ing love. Absent from sight, to the
spirit ever near-no shade of earth
mingles in the holy Office Of minis
tering angel, whose sweet influence is
like the gentle dew upon the fragrant
flower, which exhales perfume UNI

tons OF the Unborn spirit.
Absent, but not forgotten, is asweet

The pleasures of this world are so
transitory and heeting that 1t seems a
crime for a man to pass his days in
frivolous pursuits or to stake, as many
do, their whole mind upon what, be-
fore to-morrow's sun shall go down,
will become as mist and vapor. The
uncertainty Of life, the dark veil
which cuts the future from the pierre
ing eye Of man, the ignorance of what
ii might bring forth, have a salutary
effect upon the thoughtful, and wean
them from too great a love of the
world, its pleasures, or of themselves.
Though there be a few who live to
the age of three score years and ten,
health and youth are not to be relied
on, for the nipping frost destroys in
an hour the fairest flower, and the
lightning from heaven often destroys
the sturdy oak. If we place our hearts
upon the riches of this world, they will
fade away before our sight; and the
hard earnings of years have been
swept away in day.

The horns of our cows seem to be
neither useful nor ornamental. AS a
means of warfare they can only have
consideration, but warfare and goring
is precisely what we desire to keep
away from the barnyard. English
farmers, where herds are probably
more precious and closely confined
than in America, have introduced the
habit of unhorning cattle by clipping
the small projections in calves, when
half an inch long, using simply a
strong pair of shears. 1t is true, il
hurts the calves somewhat. There
will be little bleeding, but that will
stop in an hour or two, and the calves
will soon resume eating.
