We were in Cairo last week, and met
several Of the Cairo MEN (not BOYS or
LoAFERs), but MEN. Among them were our
Sheriff and Ey-Sheritf, Hodges and Saup,
who are accommodating and genial gentle
men. In fact they are pretty good cusses. =
We dropped into Col McKcaig's Office,
found him stin turning the "postal-whcel,
and Judge from the smiles that played

been successful in his race for the post

his services in the late war. We, for one,
saw him fall on the battlefield, and left
him for dead Consequently we exclaim--

a wounded soldier (Col. McKcaig) more. -
We also met Judge Yocum. wearing the

MANS AGE.

Few men die Of old age. Almost
all die of disappointment,passion,m men
tai and bodily toll or accident. The
common expression, tchoked with
PASSION has little exaggeration in it
even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die young; weak men often
live longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength and the
weak have none to use. The latter
take care of themselves, the former do
not. AS it is with the body so it is
with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or like can
die to run; the weak to run out. The
inferior animals that live temperate
lives have generally their prescribed
number of years. The horse lives
twenty five the OK fifteen or twenty ;
the dog ten to twelve; the rabbit
eight; the guinea pig six or seven
years. These numbers all bear sim.
liar proportion to the time the animal
takes to grow to it's full size. But
man, of all the animals, is the one tha
seldom lives this average. He ought
TO live hundred years, according to
the physical laws, for five times twen-
ty is hundred; but instead of that,
he scarcely reaches on an average four
times his growing period; the cat six
times, the RABBIT even eight times the
standard of measurement. The rea-
son is obvious-man is not only the
most irregular and incorporate, but
the most laborious and hard working
of all the animals. He is also most ir-
ritable, and there is reason to believe
though we cannot tell what an animal
secretly feels, that more than any
other animal, man cherishes wrath to
keep it warm, and consumes himself
with the fire of his own secret ref1ec-

The boyhood and subsequent life Of
Livingstone, the missionary explorer


Livingstone, the missionary explorer
of Africa, illustrates the lines:
Honor and shame from NO condition rise.
Act well thy part; there all the honor lies"
When David Livingstone was boy
he was obliged to- be at the mills bv

not leave until six o'clock in the eve.
ming. 1t might be well supposed that
the little factory boy would have been
glad to rest during the short time he
was not at work. But aIad with such
a spirit of determination as David DOS
sessed was not easily to be deferred
from pursuing the course he had mark.
ed out for himself.
When he received his first weeks
pay, he forthwith purchased q Latin
grammar with q portion of it,. and
within very short time joined an
evening school. This school was q
very humble one, and it was partly
supported by the owners of the cot
ton mills for the benefit of those EN-.
pleyed by them, the dominic who car
ried it on being thus enabled to give
instruction at low rate to his pupila.
David now began to learn in real
earnest, continuing night after night
to attend the school until ten o'clock,
and then devoting two hours-some-
times more, unless his mother preven-
ted him nv takinU his hooks o-or
to the preparation of the following
days lessons; and 90 absorbed was he
always in his thought that the hard
work in which he was regularly en-
gagged seemed almost to be lost sight

NEW KIND OF STEAMER.

Trials are about to be made at Mar
principle, propelled without either
screw or paddle wheels. The craft is
of the dimensions of an Ordinary tug.
boat, and is worked by means of a
steam pump of sixteen horse power
with horizontal tubular boiler. That
pump is of immense power, and draws
in considerable quantities of water
which, by the force with which it is
expelled against the sea at the stern,
sends the ship forward. The vessel is
furnished with two pairs of tubes, the
one acting at the stern and the other at
the bow. During the ordinary pro-
gress of the boat those in front are
closed by stop cocks, but if occasion
arises to make the steamer retrograde,
the after tubes are closed and the 9TH
ers opened. The water to supply the
pump is taken from the sea alongside,
and system of barrels filled with wa
ter is provided in the hold to supply
the pump in case of any emergency.
With this invention it is said no yibra-
ton is produced, and the machine can
easily be transformed into a fire en-
CINE by the addition of a suitable sup
ply Of hose. Moreover, it can be read
lily used to prevent another vessel from
sinking when water-logged or leaking,
by taking tubes to supply the pump in
the ship in distress, and utilizing the
water it contains as the means of pro-
pulsion at the same time towing the
disabled craft. The pipes for the ejec-
ton of the water are fixed in direc-
ton parallel to the keel, and when at
work interfere in no way with the ac-
ton of the rudder simply moving the
vessel on its way by the resistance the
water elected meets with tho great
mass of the surrounding sea. The in
yention is said to be that of an Amer
ican engineer, and the steamer is re-
ported to have already made ten knots
an hour, The peculiar utility of this
boat, if it answers all expectations, is
for river work, and after the trials at
Marseilles it will again be assayed on
the Rhoue.

we are privileged to protest, for the end
| of the Reformation is so clouded by the
means of its attainment that the easy
assertion of its entire obscurity is the
error of too many. Could Europe spare
the fact of the French Revolution? To
lose its object would be q sacrifice; to
lose its deeds, blessing.
Thus the Bondage of Error has be-
come the educator of the race. The
spirit of doubt and inquiry has been
ever repeating " CUI BONO" for what
purpose. Would we wish to start
anew? If not, the past is a necessity.
But there is error in the use of necessi-
ty. The conquest of the world by an
Alexander was necessary, because nat
ural. The brutality of devastation was
an error. We are admonished by the
latter. We admire the former, since in
the longings for unsubdued reign We
discover the whisperings of desire TO
know of those things beyond his ken,
but which are revealed to us to-day by
the sciences. Napoleon's Italy lay
just over beyond the Alps. His strug-
giles were as our struggles, his error.
our admonition. His longings for the
fertile plains of the Po resound in our
longings for the more fertile field of the
mind. As the soldier expiring on the
icy cliff questions, "Where is Italy ?"
still pointing up the frozen way, the
answer came, "Just beyond" Just
beyond was the error, lone st. Helena
the bondage.
These voices from the past come to
us to trace the shadows of the future,
for our error is misconception. The
real Italy of to-day is humanity. The
Alpine SUBMITS we must scale to reach
it our political and religious prejudices,
financial and social inequalities, the
bondage of which is the antipathy Of
man.
Errors bondage of the past speaks to

NEVER KIDlCULE CHILDREN.

There is SO great charm in the
sportive play of fancy and wit, there
is no danger of their beng neglected
aud undervalued, that the native talent
for them will remain undeveloped !;
our chief sollcitude must be to keep
them, even in their widest flights, still
in subjection to duty and benevolence.
We must not allow ourselves to be be-
trayed into an approving smile, at any
effusion of wit and humor which are
tinctured in the slightest degree by
iil-nature. A child will watch the eX-
preston of our countenance to see
how far he may venture, and if he find
that he has the power to amase us in
spite OF ourselves, we have no longer
any hold over him from respect and he
will go rioting on in his salies until he
is tired, and seek at every tutnre oppor
tunity to renew his triumph. Wit,
undirected by benevolence, generally
falls into pessonal satire-the keenest
instrument of nnkindness; it is so
easy " louSA at NdO "a PCuoO Va OuA
friends aud neighbors-they furnish
such ready materials for our wit, that
all the moral forces require to be ar
rayed against the propensity, and its
earliest indications checked. We may
satirize error, but we must teach by
10 children, not only in what
we say of others before them, but in
our treatment of themselves. We
should never use ridicule towards
them, except when it is SO evidently
good-natured that its spirit cannot be
mistaken F.; the agony which sensible
child feels on being held up before
others as an object of ridicule, even for
a trifling error. a mistake, or a. pecu.
liarity, is not soon forgotten, nor easi-
ly forgiven. When we wish, there
fore, to excite contrition for a serious
fault, ridicule should never be em.
ployed, as the feelings it raises are di-
rectly opposed to self-reproach.

THE RICH AN ID THE GREAT NOT
ALWAYS HAPPY.

Some people tell me, your doctrine
about loving, and wives, and all that,
is splendid for the rich, but it won't
do for the poer.' tell you to might
there is more love in the homes of the
poor than in the palaces of the rich.
The meanest hut with love in it is a
palace fit fer the gods, and palace
without love is den only fit for wild
beasts. That is my doctrine! You
cannot be so poor that you cannot help
somebody. Good nature is the cheap
est commodity in the world; and love
is the only thing that will pay ten per
cent. to borrower and lender both.
Do not tell me that you have got to be
rich! We have false standard OF
greatness in the United States. We
think here that a man must be great,
that he must be notorious, that he must
be extremely wealthy, or that he must
be on the putrid lips of rumor. 1t is
all mistake. 1t is not necessary to
be rich or to be great, or to be power
full, to be happy. The happy man ls
the successful man. Happiness is the
legal-tender of the soul. Joy is wealth.
A little while ago 1 stood by the
grave of the old Napoleon-a magnif-
icent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost
for a dead deity-and gazed upon tie
sarcephsgus of black Egyptian mar
Bile, where rest at last the ashes of the
restless man. l leaned over the bal
ustrade and thought about the career
of the greatest soldier of the modern
world. l saw him walking along the
banks OF the Seine, contemplating sui
eide. | saw him at ToulOn. l saw him
putting down the mob in the streets
of Paris. l saw him crossing the
bridge of Lodi with the tricolor in his
hand-I saw him in Egypt IN the shad.
