An important invention for iron-work-
ing, in course of being patented by Alonzo
Johnson.of Springfield, Mass. lis machine
for saving iron nuts which A. o. Sinclair
has the contract to make for the atwood
Safety Nut Company. The nut which the
company own is Of ordinary iron, but with
two slots cut at right angles across the up
per surface half as deep as the nut, so that
when it is turned tight upon the bolt the
grip Of the wrench closes up the apertures
so much that it is impossible for the nut to
work loose. These nuts are coming into
more and more general use with the rail-
roads. as the tiarring motion has no effect
upon them. Mr.. Johnson's machine will
cut the slots in the red-hot iron rs fast rs
it can be fed. The nuts are placed upon
an iron plate in front of the operator, who
with one hand pushes them forward till
they drop one by one into an open box fit
ted 10 them, in which they arc moved by
a gauge against circular saw. A motion
of the hand then turns each quarter Of
the way round, when it is pushed against
a second saw for the slit. Thus, after the
first one is cut into in one direction, two
are slotted in the opposite directions by
the same forward pressure against the
saws. The saws, of soft steel, revolve
5000 times minute, the periphery trav-
cling nearly four miles per minute, and
the iron is now sawed into as easily as II
piece of wood on an ordinary machine.
The machine will easily slot a ton of nuts,
averaging 1000 in Il day, and can prob
ably be run up to ton and Il half. This
is the first machine that can do more than
few hundred nuts a day

BEGIN WELL.-The entering upon u
religious life is the beginning of supreme
importance to every one. Joining the
church is often like Caesars crossing the
Rubicon, for by this step many blessedly
commit themselves to happy and useful
Christian course. But true conversion is
indispensable in order to real happiness
and usefulness. A right beginning spirit
ualIy is like giving the proper pitch to a
tune, and, if after beginning WELL there be
"patient continuance in well doing" life
becomes like delightful song, full of
noble thoughts and aspirations, sung so
melodiously and harmoniously as to de-
light and profit those around, as we'll as to
promote in high degree the singers hap
piness and advantage. When we even
make right beginning oft Christian life
by true repentance, we "raise the happiness
to Heaven; FOR there is joy in the presence
of the angels of God over one sinner that
repenteth," for the Lord of angels reioices
to see of the travail of his soul. Then
holy angels rejoice in the commencement
and anticipated completion of work of
grace in the souls of redeemed men; and
with alacrity they fly at the divine COM
mand ito minister for them who shal be
heirs of salvation" Certainly, these
beginnings of repentance turning from
sin to God through faith in Christ, result
ing in the pardon of sin, adoption into
Gods family, and regeneration, are like
the lower rounds of a ladder, on each side
of which we must step if we would clint
to those blessed heights of holiness, knowl-
edge, usefulness, and true glory, which we
ought TO attain both in this world and the
world to ome.-MethodiSt Recorder.

Could WE LIVE IN THE POLAR RE-
GIoNsP-At the reception given by the
San Francisco academy of sciences to the
members of the Bennett exploring expedi-
tion to the north pole. Mr.. Charles VOL
colt Brooks discussed the question of the
existence of an Arctic continent, and the
probability of its being inhabited.
If we carefully examine, says Mr..
Brooks, the almost universal features of
all the land known TO us, we find pre-
vailing form wherever we turn. Each
territorial area of magnitude seems TO
have an appendage tending southwark.
If we apply this rule, by turning the north
pole of globe towards us we readily see
at a glance that Greenland, which is
known to us may bear TO an unknown
continent the same relation that South
America does TO North America, or Africa
to Europe. Hence it is perfectly logical
to infer, by the great analNyy of nature,
north pole, extending thu, nd a half to
four degrees south from IL .thern axis
of the earth. AS previou. ic eXpedi-
tions have advanced to 50 -.agrees, 26
minutes. north latitude-or within 391
miles OF the pole-the dislat', thence tc
such continent would not exceed abou
$50 to 1S0 miles. This intervening space
however, is difficult to traverse, us i
presents a very rough surface. If the sea
during the height of a gale, when wave:
run mountain high, were instantly frozen
it would present much the appearance
here encountered. For ethnologists the
question is: Can an Arctic u ntinent be
inhabited, should one exist? / his may be
met by the well-kno fact that the lati
tude of 70 degrees is about tho point o
lowest mean temperature. The earth is
about 81 miles less in diameter ut The
equator than from pole to pole, having
enlarged at one point and il4ttened al
another because of its revolving motion
Now, it is we'll known that lower temper
atures are encountered as we ascend high
attitudes, and tho depression at the poles
may by lessening the distance of the sur
face from the earth's centre, afford i
warmer temperature, which will enable
the hardy Esquimau, Amos or some Hy
perborean race, to exist upon an Arctic
continent.

stationed at a rude fort, upon hearing of
the settlers danger, had come to their re-
lief.
A month passed and comparative quiet
had been restored, though the settlers suf-
Tered severely for want of provisions for n
time until supplies could reach them.
One night Mr.. Baldwin was about retir-
ing to rest, when knock WAS heard
Thinking it Il neighbor, he went half un-
dressed to the door, TO be confronted to
his dismay, by tall, stalwart Indian,
leading by the hand little boy in Indian
costume. Before he could speak the child
sprang with the glad cry, " Fatber!" into
his arms. The Indian gave grunt of
satisfaction: Ugh! boy come back. Wee
tampket no forget, no harm white mani"
and he vanished like deer in the dis
tance.
1t was so. The deed of kindness to that
wounded Indian had rescued the boy, and
at the earliest possible moment Weetamp
ket had slipped away from his tribe and
brought him back. No one can describe
the joy in that household that night. They
hugged, laughed and cried over the boy
and he fell asleep at last in his mothers
arms.
This boy, as | told you, was my grand
father. lie never forgot his brief stay in
the Indian camp. The little Indian dress
bow and arrows which his dusky friend
gave him he kept until his death, when
they were divided among the heirs. and
are now among their relics of the past.
What became of Weetampket" do
you say? Z" and what became of the other
two young captivesP" Weetampket was
never seen again. Whether the others of
his tribe slew him for his treachery to
them, or whether he went far away can
not say, as no one ever knew. OF the 9TH
er two children, one,a little girl, died soon
after, not being strong enough to endure
the privations to which she was subjected.
The other, her little brother, was ransom
ed two years after, by some friendly Indi-
ans of the Narragansett tribe, and return
ed to the whites, who sent him to his sor-
rowing parents.
Yesterday visited the locality of these
scenes and graves of my ancestors. and as
| looked around upon the broad fertile
fields. far as the eye conld reach, dotted
with pleasant farm houses in the distance,
with pretty villages whose slim, white
church spires pointed to the sky, though.
