GIaelsto1aees Very First Lesson.

The honorable gentleman il young; he
takes great pains; he has plenty of time to
gain instruction, and plenty OF time TO un-
learn and cast of errors. Let him apply
that time to good purposes, and let him
learn Chis-that If he wants really to make
an impression upon the world, to give aid
to his friends or to inhiet disaster upon his
adversaries, the very first lesson he must
learn is TO restrain his universal and sweep
ing propositions within the bounds OF fact
and actual experience, and submit himself
to be taught By lessons Of the world and
lessons OF the day, and to learn and know
that moderation, reservesan consideration
for those with whom you have to deal ,sand
the endeavor to bring your proposition in-
to exact conformity with the circumstances
or the case, is for him and for everybody
else the very first condition TO buy sub
stantiul and durable atecess. From Glad

have seen and handled one Of the now
notorious Internal machines, and very
ugly machine it is. Its aspect is not unlike
that Of a square coffee canister or Il tin OF
aration OF zinc hammered. Until the liz
is removed the deVlisll thing seems as in
nocent az any article fronl.a groceT's oE

ton the machine might be taken for a
roughly fashioned clock, for these Ameri-
can affairs are nothing wonderful in the
way Of workmanship. They have been
made evidently by contract, and have none
of the nicely and finish Of phomassen'a,
which exploded ab Bremerhayen. All the
works are In full view at the top; the dya~

pie contrivance has been adopted to ex-
plode the charge at a given time. 4 flat
