peace-maker, softening the angry passions of
contending disputants. On the other hand,
the modifying influence of oleaginous liquids
upon the waves was long ago demonstrated
as scientific fact and the equnoctial gales
would have been kept in subjection ere now,
on the high seas, but for the uncertainty Of
the weather, and the estimated expense of
oiling an area as limited as the Bay of Bis.
cay. 1t would appear, however, that gen:
tleman of Perth has solved the problem Of
economy as applied to greasing the sea, and
that in future ships may carry with them, at
comparatively triaing cost, a sufficient
quantity of oil to nullfy the rigors of the
6ercest cyclone. A northern contempora'
ry states that a series of experiments have
taken place in the north harbor, Peterhead,
with the most satisfactory results. The expe.
rimentalists filled some bottles full of oil and
sank them to the bottom of the harbor while
gale was blowing. Presently the oil was
released, and floating to the top of the raging
pillows, stiIled them as if by miracle. As
consequence of this experiment. it is thought
in the neighborhood Of Perth that oil can be
laid on continuously by pipes TO the bars Of
all exposed harbors, so as to enable vessels to
gain port in safety in the midst of the most
violent hurricanes. The invention would be
invaluable if applied to the channel in dirty
weather. Day by day we are taught that
there is no bounds to the conquest of science
over nature, and now that we can oil out the
ugly wrinkles of the stormy ocean, We need not

the north pole with otherwise waste steam,

The Thames will continue to flow as it does

and if any name should fash through the
mist of antiquity, it will probably be that Of
a man who in his day sought the happiness
of his fellow men rather than their glory,
and linked his name to some great work of
national utility and beuevolence. This is
the true glory which outlives all other, and

A SERMON TESTED If doubling hearers
would put in practice the suggestion OF the
preacher, their unbelief would often vanish,
as in the following incident:
81 heard sermon once from venerable
itinerant preacher, on benevolence. thought
the effort very lean, but one thing impressed
me little. "Go," said he, "and do some.
thing after have done preaching. Have 10
say when I come back, four weeks hence,
that you have done something, and my word
and Gods word for it, you will be better
and happier man." l knew poor widow
living on the edge Of some woods about
mile from my home. Her husband had been
dead two or three years, and with three help.
less little girls, she had q hard conflict with
poverty. I had often spoken kindly to her,
and thought my duty ended when the words
were uttered; but when the sermon of the
old white.headed preacher was done, the resp.
luton was to go and do something. The next
day l visited the cellar and measured out
bushel Of potatoes, bushel of apples and
variety of other things, and having put them
into wagon, started for the cottage of the
widow A load of wood for which i paid
three dollars preceded me- An hours drive
brought both loads in front of the house, and
when my explanation was given there were
wet eyes and warmer hearts in the parties.
The widow wept for joy, and the children
joined in, while I, finding my feelings too
much for my strength, had to give way also
to tears. The act was one that gave me
new spiritual start, and when the preacher
came back thought the discourse one Of
the most eloquent I had ever listened to.
The change was in myself, not in him or his
preaching. g."-Baptist Weekly.

MECHANICS.

It is difficult to estimate the value and i'm
portance of mechanics to q community. MOI
only does present progress and advancement
but the permanent prosperity of every town
and city, depend largely on the number and
character of its mechanics. Wherever We
find mechanics, as class, occupying an ele
waited position in community-honored and
respected for their moral and intellectual
worth as we'll as for their energy and uniform
department, there you will surely find, not
only brisk and lively trade, but popula:
ton free from most Of those fopperies and
follies which are degenerating and impover'
ishing the present generation. 1t is lament
able fact-but nevertheless it is fact-that
it is common thing in this country for mon
eyed snobs and brainless' fops to look down
on mechanics as an inferior class of beings
and, unfortunately for the cause of labor,
many mechanics encourage rather than repel
with disgust, this assumption on the part OF
snobbery, because they refuse to exercise
those noble elements with which God has
endowed them, to rend assunder those tyran.
nical bands which, with what is called social
life, has so long kept them fettered. We
would have every mechanic in the land, feel
his importance, and to realize that it is the
noble brotherhood, of which he is part
coupled with the cultivators of the soil, that
form the great basis upon which all other
interests depend. Because your daily toll
may con6ne you within the walls Of small
room, is, no reason why you shSuld remain
ignorant of the principles of science or the
great truths of philosophy. IKE for your
guides some one of the immortal names that
have gone before you-men who though pass
ed from the scene of actual operations, have
left their names embalmed in the hearts oi
coming generations determine to be
men
To be good mechanic, the mind must be
cultivated as we'll as the muscles, for it is i'm
possible to excel in any branch, however
insignificant, without some knowledge OF
general laws. Whatever your business may
be, devote your whole time and attention to
its prosecution; be diligent in your research
es after all the plausible and practical i'm.
provements that may present themselves in
your particular branch, that you may not
only add to your reputation and.interest, but
be enabled to give the better satisfaction to
those who sustain you. And other inter.
ests should not lose sight of the fact that the
more they do to foster and elevate the me.
chanical interest of place, the more they
do to push the place upward and onward.
While these interests languish it cannot be
expected that trade and traffic should flourish.
We trust that our business men and capital
lists will not only do all in their power to sus
tain and encourage the mechanics already
among us, but we hope that the speedy estab'
lishment of manufactures and other improve
ments will bring others among US.

HYMN OF THE MARSEILLAISE.

The Marsellaise was inspired by genius,
patriotism, youth, beauty and champagne.
Rouget de Lisle was an officer of the garrison
at Strasburg, and native Of Mount Jura.
He was an unknown poet and composer. He
had pleasant friend named Dietrich, whose
wife and daughters were the only critics and
admirers of the soldier poets song One
night he was at supper with his friends fami.
ly, and they had only coarse bread and slices
of ham. Dietrick, looking sorrowfully at De
Lisle, said : "Plenty is not our feast, but we
have the courage Of soldiers heart; l have
still one bottle left in the cellsr-bring it, my
daughter, and let US drink to liberty and our
country"
The young girl brought the bottle it was
soon exhausted, and De Lisle went staggering
to bed; he could not sleep for the cold, but
his heart was warm and full Of the beatings
of genius and patriotism. He took small
clavicord and tried to compose song some
times the words were com posed frst-some.
times the air. Directly he fell asleep over
the instrument, and waking at daylight, wrote
down what he had conceived in the delirium
of the night. Then he walked the family,
and sang his production at first the women
turned pale, then they wept, then burst forth
into cry of enthusiasm. 1t was the song OF
the nation and of terror
Two months afterward Dietrich went to the
scaffold, listening to the self same music, COM
posed under his own roof and by the inspira'
tion of his last bottle of wine. The people
sang it everywhere; it flew from city to city,
to every public orchestra. Marseilles adopt.
ed the song at the opening and closing of its
clubs-hence the name> Hymn of the Mar.
seillaise )" then it spread all over France.
They sung it in their houses, in public assem-
blies, and in the stormy street convention.
De Lisle's mother heard it, and said to her
son, "What is this revolutionary hymn, sung
by bands of brigands, with which your name
is mingled ?" De Lisle heard it and shud'
dered as it sounded through the streets Of
Paris, and rung from the Alpine passes, while
he, royalst, fled from the infuriated people,
frenzied by his own words. France was a
great amphitheatre of anarchy and blood,
and De Lisles song was the battle cry.
There is no national air that will compare
with the Marsilaise in sublimity and power ;
it embraces the soft cadences full Of the peas
ants home, and the stormy clangor of silver
and steel when an empire is overthrown il
endears the memory of the vine dresser's cot
tage, and makes the Frenchman, in his exile,
cry LA belle France!' forgetful of the torch,
and sword, and guillotine, which have made
his country a spectre of blood in the eyes Of
nations. Nor can the foreigner listen to it,
sung by company of ex,les, or executed by
band of musicians, without feeling that it is
the pibroch of battle and war.

The FIRST POSTAGE STAMP.-It is believ-
ed that the first postage stamp used in this
country was one designed by Hon. E. A..
Mitchell, Postmaster Of New. Haven, in thu
year 1S47. 1t did not differ much in size and
form from the present Government stamp, but
was Of brown color, was printed on ordinary
paper and contained the words, "Paid. New
Haven Post Office. cents. E. A. Mitch
ell, P. NJ" Mr.. Mitchell had them printed
for the use and convenience of citizens of New
Haven, who had complained to him of the de-
lay sometimes occasioned by their being una
bic to prepay letters except in Office hours:
The stamps were sold by the postmaster and
accepted in prepayment when affixed. A high
price is put upon specimens Of this stamp bY
collectors, and the present postmaster of New
Haven has frequent applications for them.

A WoMAN's Quick W1r.-The part of
Tennessee through which have been knock

but there is none of its bitterness left. 10
war times the people were greatly divided in
their sentiments, and no man could tell 10th.
er from which. This remark reminds me of
a story I heard yesterday, about an estimable
woman of seventy odd, who died two or three
years ago here on the mountains. One day,
during the war, when the country was fairly
alive with guerrillas, she had occasion to take
some valuable goods with her on trip she
was making, and put them on her horse, back
of her. When she had gone some distance
in the woods, she heard squad of guerrillas
approaching, and knowing her goods would
not be safe for moment, she straddled her
horse man fashion, and throwing her long
skirt over the package behind her, complete
ly concealed it. When the guerrillas rode
up she was unable to guess whether they be.
longed to the North or to the South-their
uniform being no solution whatever. She de-
.termined, if questioned, to play a bluff game
with them, and she soon had a chance to ex-
ercise her wit. Hello" called one of the
guerrillas. "Helow she returned. "What
side are you on? ?" he challenged. She laugh
ed good laugh at him as she replied, kicking
out her feet, "On both sides, of course can't
you see ?" This brought roar from the
whole squad, and they began to banter her in
her own fashion. (Which side is your old
man on ?" asked one of them. Hes on
neither sde," she laughed "he's on his back,
and has been for years" Such wit saved her,
and they let her pass unmolested.
