A FAIR ATTORNEY.

Alas! the world has gone away
Since Cousin Lillian entered college,
For she has grown SO learned, l
OFT tremble at her wondrous knowledge.
Whene'er dare too WOO her now
She frowns that should so annoy her,
And then proclaims, with lofty brow,
Her mission is to be a lawyer.
Life glides no more on golden wings,
sunny waif from FL Dorado;
I've learned how true the poet sings,
That coming sorrow casts its shadow.
When tutti fruttI lost its spell,
felt some hidden grief impended;
When she declined caramel
knew my rosy dream had ended.
She paints no more on china PLAQUES,
With tlnts that would have crazed Murillo,
Strange birds that never plumed their backs
When Father Noah braved the billow.
Her fancy limns, with brighter brush,
The splendid triumphs that await her,
When, in the court, a breathless hush
Gives homage to the keen debater.
'Tis sad to meet such crushing noes
From eyes as blue as Scottish heather;
'Tis sad a maid with checks of rose
Should have her heart bound up in leather.
'Tis sad to keep ones passion pent,
Though Pallas' arms the fair environ;
But worse to have her quoting Kent
When one is fondly breathing Byron.
When Lillian's licensed at the law
Her fame, be sure, viii live forever;
No harristcr will pick a flaw
In logic So extremely clever.
The sheriff will forget his nap
To feast upon the lovely vision,
And cen the judge will set his cap
At her and dream of love Elysian.

Electricity.

There are. as most readers know. two
kinds of electricity-the static and the dy-
namic-and when the latter state is iustan-
taneous, it is referred to as the electric
discharge" which occurs when opposite
electricities seek each other and the bodies
return to STATE of equilibrium or neu-
tralization. These bodies, if insulated,
obtain no more electricity after the spark
has passed, but if there be a constant
source of negative electricity supply
ing one and a constant source of
negative electricity supplying the other,
there will be a succession of sparks; and if
they communicate by a conductor there
will be, through this conductor, an un,
interrupted naturalization of a continual
reunion of the two electricities, and this
is what is termed the continuous dynamic
state or electric e. rent.

The ancient Greeks and Romans prac-
ticed telegraphy with the help of pots
filled with straw and twigs saturated in
oil, which being; placed in rows expressed
certain letters, according to the order in
which they were lighted; but the only one
of their contriv lnces that merits detailed
description was that invented bv a Grecian
general named A1neas, who flourished in
the time of Aristotle, intended for commu-
nication between the generals of an army.
1t consisted, SAYS The Industrial World. of
two exactly similar earthen vessels filed
with water, each provided with cock that
would discharge an equal quantity of
water in a given time, so that the whole or
any part of the contents would escape in
precisely the same period from bot h yes
sells.
On the surface of each floated a piece of
cork, supporting an upright, marked of
into divisions, each division having a GER
tain sentence inscribed upon it. One of the
vessels was placed at each station. and
when either party desired to communicate
he lighted torch, which he held aloft un-
til the other did the same, as sign that
he was all attention. On the sender of the
message lowering or eXtinguishing his
torch each party Immediately opened the
cock Of his vessel, and so left it until the
sender relightod his torch, when it was at

sentence on the division of the upright
