THE NAMES OF THE STATES.

At meeting of the American ANTIQUARIAN
Society last week at Worcester the Hon HamiI-
ton B. Staples read paper discussing the origin
of the names of the several States. His eonclu
sions as follows: New Hampshire gets it's

GOOD GWACIOUS!

An English gentleman arrived here few
nights since, and put up at the Ebbitt After
eating supper, he strolled through the rotunda,
quietly putting away at a cigarette, when his
eye caught sign on one of the pillars, which
read: Look out for hotel thieves" Going up
to the clerk, he asked:
Mr. Clark, have You had any recent heavy
robberies in your hotel?'
ooh, no." said the polite, curly haired manipu-
lator of the bell, 1T is rare thing, indeed that
we have robbery in this house
II see" said the subject of her gracious
majesty, that you warn your guests against
the hotel thieves"
"We only put those signs up during the ses-
sion of Congress" said the clerk.
"Gooa gwacious!' said his mutton-chop nibs,
"Cawnt the American legislators be twusted?
Is it possible that the law makers of this blarsted
free country are looked upon as hotel thieves,
and travellers warned against them?'
The startled clerk, who has a great reverence
for statesmen, was so much taken aback at the
remarks of the Englishman that it was full five
minutes before he conld gain his equilibrium.
The guest, in the meantime, slid out of the door
by Gwage!' "By Gwage!"

sequence?"
The same contingency had occurred to my own
mind as a not unlikely one.
If she really cares for you, it is only matter
of years in any case," answered; you are both
young, and time is on your side"
For the next hour, verify believe, listened
to chant in honor of a young lady who accord
ing to this wayward young man, possessed every
possible grace and accomplishment, until to save
time and the need of a new dictionary, proposed
that in future the phrase, Miss Mllicent Tran
ton," should be understood by both of us as being
synonymous with perfection, absolute, unlimited.
AS it happened, 1 was away ON the day of Cap

terrible sequel was it to the light-hearted banter

that the master of Hollies Hall had been shot in
his own ROOM and that Gerald Myrtlemore. the
suitor of his daughter, stood charged with the

PASSION PAST,

Were I II boy with boys heart beat,
At glimpse of her passing down the street
Or q room where she had entered and gone
Or a page her hand had written on
Would all be with rs 1t was before?
Oh no, never no no, never,
Never anymore.
Were a man, with mans puse-throb
Breath hard and fierce held down like & sob
Dumb, yet hearing her lIghtest word
Blind, until only her garments stirred,
Would pour my life like wine on her floor:
Oh, no. never! never never
Never anymore.
Gray and withered wrinkled and marred
have gone through the fire and come out unscarred
With the image Of manhood upon me yet
No shame to remember no wish to forget;
But could she rekindle the pangs bore?
Oh, no, neverl Thank God never!
Never anymore.
Old and wrinked, wnhered and gray
And yet-if her light step passed to-day
l should know her face all faces among,
And say, Heaven love thee, whom loved long.
Thou hast lost the key to my hearts door,
Lost il ever aud forever
Ay, and forever more!''

UNRECONCILED.

Old friend true friend a thousand leagues apart
Walk we at last, who walked together long:
with my quiet life, and vexed, unquiet heart;
Thou with thy shattered Dreams and sudden sense OF
wrong.
A thousand leagues-ay, and a thousand more!
No reckoning, measurement nor line,
No stretch of countless miles on any shore
Can span the desert breadth between they life and
mine
It is not that thy home is where the hills
Wear on their shining slopes flush of spring;
Where the young crosses edge the Nayday's leaping
ris,
And round the valley homes the robins nest and sing
While mine is where the summers fercest beam
Burns hot across the river and the plain
Where snowy sails all day along the waters CLEAN;
Where all day sweeps the breeze miles of yellow
ing grain.
It is not that the blue seas boundlessness
Hath rolled between, and swept me from mine
1t was a blacker surge, moro wild and pitiless,
That flung wrecked on this strange tropic shore
alone.
For thee to-day the pines low music moans
The naples weave their lyrics on the hills;
Faint hearing float the thousand blended tones
Of tropc trees and birds whose song the distance fills
Day after day thine ever-restless feet
Tread the old paths where mine hushed for aye,
make footprints down quiet, crumbng street,
At with all its hush, and with my destiny.
Severed so wide by mount, and wave, and plain,
And by a whose waste no chart can show!
Oh, my darling! we have worn many a chain
But of dividing chains how could Love dream knows
The Ar9Osy.

Natural Philosophy.
MECHANICS.

We will now present TO our young
readers a lesson in one of the divisions
ot natural philosophy:
Mechanics is that branch ct the sub
icct which treats of tools and machines.
Although there are thousands of
wonderful machines that seem to be so
intricate with their multitude OF wheels.
pulleyS. belts cogs, etc. yet they are but
4 combination and application OF SIX
simple powers. the Lever. wheel and
Axle. Pulley. the Inclined Plane, the
Wedge. and the Screw. And. in reality
these are but different form: of the
Lever. OF of the Inclined Plane.
Strange as it may seem, by 1.-THE APP
plication of these simple powers, man
IS able TO make machines that viii reap,
thresh, saw. grind, pump, sew. SET type,
weave. spin, card, print make nails,
needles, pins, paper, and do thousands
of other things that seem to he almost
impossible. The powerful locomotive,
that moves hundreds of tons along at
the rate of twenty or thirty mites an
honr, and the delicate gold watch are
nothing but thesa simple powers put in
to practical use.
And in these wonderful machines.
every little cog, every wheel. and each
part no matter how small or inSignifi-
ant III appearance. has lis use. and the
whole vast machinery would be imper-
tert II one of these little parts were de-
l+ctiyp.
And when we look at one of these
wonderful machines, we can scarcely
ie2l!ze that so,ne nan was wise enough
to invent it: to plan every little
part. 50 that it would do
inst what he wished done; and that
there are men TO whom every part and
IFS purpose are as familiar as is our
simplest tools to us: They understand
the use ofeyery wheel. pulley, lever.
valve. OF cog as well as we do the parts
of our pillow or wagon.
Although we can never hope to I'M
d-rStand machinery as they do, unless
we learn it as a trade, yet we can
learn enough to understand the ma
,.binery that we use every dav. such
As reapers. threslling machines, sewing
machines. saw. griSt. and cane mills.
Nc.
In order TO do this is it is necessary
for us TO study each simple machine by |
itself. so as to know its powers and APP
oljcations. before we study the combin-
,t,ons of two or more of then. in one
nacmne. We will therefore study the
eyer in our next lesson.

Formation Of Habits.

H,nlrS are formed slowly like the
deltas at the mouths OF; rivers, they grow
almost mpereephbly, until they change
The entire current of our lives
Among bad habits. none creep upon
their victim with such stealthv tread as
the habi, of neglect, putting off dong
tina, which We should do al once, or of
dong ii IN an imperfect or slovenly
manner with the intention of doing ii
right after while This habit becomes
downright laziness at last. We absolute
ly dread the performance of every duty,
and nothing but dire necessity will
drive us to the task.
y task which can easily be perform
edm an hour, will be put off for months
or never performed; while we waste
ten fold the time needed to perform the
work. IN secretly bewailing the fac: that
ii ought TO be done.
The course taken by this moral dis
ease is about as follows
We first neglect the performance of
liule duties. then larger ones next
,he tutillment of our promises and the
prompt payment of our honest obliga-
Mons ; next the care of those depend
ent upon US for support; and al last
Nc become utterly Enthusiastically in ev-
ely particular. and We are. a curse to ev-
cry one who has anything to do with
us and are most heartily despised by
every one who knows us.
The way to avoid the formation of
UGH habits is TO begin early in life to
perform faithfully every duty that be-
longs TO us. Think carefully before we
take upon ourselves the performance
ot a task, but after we assume the duty
Lo ii at the proper time and do it well.
Where. Long number Of duties,we
are likely to forget some, note book
isNery valuable. Farmers sons espe-
cially will find them useful, as many of
their tasks are necessarily postponed
IN ordert to be done in suitable weather.
\ singletree, or axe handle may be
needed, but it will not do to leave the
piow II the bayfield, in fair weather to
make them but a note book looked
oN.r the first stormy morning would re-
llind US that he proper time had come
make them.
IN many other ways note book will
help us to utilize our spare minutes,
ana Ior1n habits of systematic industry.

ANrI-RAILROAD
The Meeting Last Night Of Those who
Favor Legislation Concerning
RailrOads-What WAS
Said and 0One

The railroad opposition meeting took
place last night at the court house AAou
q hundred citizens were present. Mr.. X Il.
S.ewsrt presided, and Mr.. w. ]. Pollard
acting AS secretary. Messrs. Cowart and
Payne addressed the gathering. explaining
its objects. Colonel Crawford submitted Tor
the committee the resolutions heretofore
drafted snd advocated their adop-
ton & they were in sub
stance the same as Sec. 2, Art. 10 of the
constitution of the state. Mr. Mutt Craw
ford opposed them on the ground that they
were sim, ly a rehash of the constitution and
only contemplated what the CONSTITUTE N
already requires Several speeches, pro and
con, were made, aud finally Col. Payne of
tered the following as q substitute, but they
were voted down, and the anti,rsilroad
meeting adjourned without any defnte &C.
tion but the loss OF the substitute. The fol-
lowing are Col Psyne's resolutions:
Resolved, AS the sense of this meeting that
the constitutional provisions which authorize
the legislature to Fix the tariff upon fright
and passengers upon railroads and to prohibit
discrimination ought to be so exercised Ms to
prevent the interest received by the
stock holders of tho dividends
firm amounting to more than
fair rercentum upon the largest amount of
the capital that has been actually expended
by them upon the roads they control.
ID. That we believe the Legislature of
Texas ought to enact such
laws rs will require each rail.
way company to make full report from
time 10 time Of the amount invested in these
roads, including repairs and expenses Of Their
officers and their. agents, together with the
probable amount occurring upon hazards.
ID That such laws ought to be passed as
will prevent extravaganza in the pay ment
of officers and agents in tho employ of said
roads.
4th We hold that they have as niue b
| right and no more TO u far interest upon
their capital actually invested in these
railroads, after the discharge of all necessary
expense and hazards, rs the money losners.
s. That they should not all be allowable
make any discrimination between persons or
places except as TO the necessary incouven-
fences that may occur, and that no kind OF
rebate or pooling should be permitted--
with ju.t penalties for any violation.
6. We hold that the time las
come in the history OF the coun.
try when the people, through their
represent a.ives, ought TO speak out in termt
not to be misunderstood; that this is yet II
country that belongs to the people, and that
that people intend ruling in place of being
ruled that ii is but just and right that the
legislature should control all character of
c operations.
TIN, And We believe that cents per mile
for passengers. and so cents per hundred for
freight for each hundred miles, is exorbitsnt,
and that 80 cents per hundred for distances
less than fifty milei, is generally an outrage.
