The one-wheel, or "bieycle," rail
road, as it is called, says Industrial
American, appears likely to have an
actual trial before long. The nomi-
nal inventor claims that he can easily
attain 100 or more miles per hour
without difficulty, as he will be free
from many of the resistances which
are encountered ON the standard
roads. Perhaps the greatest unfor-
seen difficulty which will be met is
that of wind pressure. In perfectly
calm weather the resistance will
amount to fifty pounds per square
foot at that speed. II is perfectly
safe to say that with high wind the
resistance alone might easily require
$500 horsepower; in addition to that
needed Tor hauling the train.

had just penned an angry paragraph

be moved by Phineas Ovens death
and how much sympathy he would ex-
peCt from me in the matter.
He kicked the thousand and one

into the center of the room and drew
his chair close up to mine, evidently
intent upon a long and serious talk.
"Phineas Owens was man of genius,
you know, DAM he began, "and now
l think, that he is gone and cannot do
it for himself and SO persistently re-
fused to do so when alive, that you and

talents, ought to reveal them to the
world and attempt to build a monu-

CONFESSIONS.
BI FoL.GER MckISSEH.

All day among the grand old hills,
And in the purple valleys,
Where Elk, the sober king of rills,
In mellow music sallies.
Among the grand old hills of God,
That cast their sombre shadows
Above the waving golden rod
That decks the autumn meadows
I've wandered, little one, apart
From all the surge and token
OF strifes that wound the tender hearts
The fragile, easy broken
Hearts OF the sweet, small men who love
The gentle ways of women,
And learn 20 dwell! in thought above
The harsh and the inhuman.
And mid the gentle, holy scene
The leaves with crimson tinted:
The level pasturage of green
With early sunbeams glinted-
I've knet with memories of thy face
In all its golden glory,
Before me, while l sought to trace
In sand the sacred story
OF our glad days, our angel dreams,
The music of dead hours,
When by the fair Arcadian streams
We wandered mid the flowers
That doomed beside their gentle marge
Ali through the sunny weather,
While saucy Oberon and his barge
Flowed down the stream together.
All, little one, those scenes have past
Forever aud forever;
But brighter moments for us cast
Their long, bright rays where never
a grief shall come, woe, or care
70 mar theqniet pleasure
Our knitted hearts of love shall share
From the o'erfiowing measure
OF sladness God will some day send,
When pain and strife are over,
Aud DER our narrow Ravens bend
The moonbeams and wild clover
lou have taught my manhood many creed
Aud Thave loved you for,it,
And answered all your life's pure needs,
And tried with Joy to store it. .
Among these quiet scenes of peace
| reap the songs God planted,
And never let my praises cease
For that his love has granted,
While mid these placid, holy days
! long for the fond meeting
When thou shalt wear my wreath of bay
And touch my lips i'll greeting.
Grow upward, noble girl, as grow
The lilys and the angels,
And our hearts warmth shall ever flow
Like music of evangels.
God bless thee with milder life.
And cheer thee, and defend thee
Throughout the bitter years of strife,
And moments glad attend thee,
Till thou shalt take my tender hand
In thine to loosen nev,r,
Till one shall cross the narrow strand
That bounds the dim forever.
