when can you go there?" Twilight's

For the dreamy glow in the CRATE
Lights the way to the town of "Used-to-

And nobody need to wait.
Then no, for an hour in the dear old town,
And hey, for the husking-bee
And no. the dancing in stiff brocade,
And ah! the trysting-tree.
And ugh! the sermons, two hours long,
And three Of them, Sabbath day,
In 'mecting-house," so cold and drear
Where the foot stove" held its sway.
But II grandma shows you summer
scene,
In farmhouse and orchard fair,
With rows of cheeses on dairy shelves,
And bees in the clover-sweet air,
And there beyond, In the kitchen wide,
Grandma, herself, at the wheel,
Spinning, singing, fair young bride,
You say, for you can but feel
What dear, dear town of Used to-bep -
But grandma's voice drops low,
And she says with half-sad, half-sweet
Smile;
Twas all SO long ago."

The notion that constant jarring or
vibration tends to make metals brittle
is one which is thoroughly imbedded
in the minds of the majority of So
called practical" men, notwithstand>
ing the evidence which has been pre-.
sented at various times that no such
supposed effect occurs. To the people
who still adhere to this time-honored
superstition--wc can call it little
else--we especially commend the paper
by Mr.. Outerhridge, in which the claim
Is set forth that cast iron is actually
made tough by jarring or shock, instead
of being crystallized and weakened. The
interest of this new discovery from a
scientific point of view is evident, and
it promises also to prove of no small
practical Importance. If cast iron can
be annealed without the use of heat
by simply subjecting 1t to light jars,
it is entirely possible that many cast
ings and forgings of iron, steel, other
metals, and even of some classes OF
earthenware might be annealed in this

the plaits are frightening, not objec-

plaits are already seen on imported

the faint dip Of paddles, so soft as
