As a certain learned judge in Mexico, some
time since, walked one morning into court, he
thought he would examine whether he wng in
tlmo for business; and feeling for his ropenter,
found it was not in his pocket. "As usual,"
said ho to a friend who accompanied him, ns ho
passed inrouaii the crowd near tne uoor as
usual, I have ninin loft mv watch nt home un
der rav pillow.". He went on the bench nnd
thought no moro of It. The court adjourned,
nnd he returned home. As soon ns ho wns qui
etly seated in his parlor he bethought him of
his timepiece, nnd turning to his wlfo reques
ted her to send for it to their chamber. "But,
my dear judge," said she, "I sent it to you
three hours ngol" "Sent it to me, my dear?
Ccrtnlnly not." "Unqucstionnbly," replied
tho lady, "and by the person you sent for it!"
"Tho person I sent for it I" echoed the judgo.
"Precisely, my drar, the very person you Bent
for ill 'ion had not left homo more than an
hour when n well-drepsed mnn knocked nt tho
door nnd nsked to sco me. Ho brought one of
tho very finest turkeys I over saw; nnd paid
that on your way to court vou met an Indian
with n number of fowls, and hnving bought this
one quite a bargain, yon hnd given him a cou
ple of renls to bring it homo; with the request
that I would havo ft killed, nicked, nnd put to

judges to n dish of wiofe with yon to-morrow.
And, 'Oh! by tbo wny, Seiioritn,' said he, 'his
excellency ino judge requested me to niK yon
to (jive yourself tho trouble to co to vour cham
ber nun tnko his watch from under tho pillow,
whiro ho says he loft it n usual this morning,
and send it to him by me.' And of course, tne
'uerlilo, I did so." "You did!" said tho judge.
"Certainly," said tho lady. "Well," replied
his honor, "all I can say to you, my dear, is
that you nro ns great n goose as tho bird is n
turkey. You'vo been robbed, Madame; the
man wan a thief, I never sent for my watch;
you'vo been imposed on, and ns a necessary
consequence the confounded wntch is lost for

n Inugh, nnd n restoration of tho judge's good
humor by n dinner, it wns resolved actually to
havo the turkey for to-morrow's dinner, nnd

dear n iiiohcI. Accordingly, nfter tho ndjourn
tnuiit of court next day, tlio-- all rcpnired to his
dwelling, with nppetites shirpened by the ex

entered tho salon mid exchanged tho ordlnnrv

claimed she, "that tho villain wns 0111(1011!"
"Apprehended!" Bald the judgo with Btirpriso.
"Yin; mid doubtless convicted too by this

riddles," replied ho; "explain yourself, my
dear. I know nothing of thief, wntch or con

The Light of a Cheerful Face.
There is no greater evcry-ihy virtue than
cheerfulness. This quality in man among
men is like sunshine to the day, or centre re
newing moi'ture to parched herbs. The light
of n cheerful faco diffuses itself, and commu
nicates tho happy spirit that inspires it. The
Fourest temper must sweeten in tho atmosphere
of continuous good niunor. wis wen iuikuv wM,

roseness to combat jovial Bpecch nnd exhilara
ting laughter. Ho cheerful nlways. There is
no palh but will be easier trnveled, no loxl but
will ba lighter, no shadow on heart or brnin
but will lift sooner in presence of n determined
cheerfnlness. It mny sometimes seem dlfllcult
for tho happiest tempered to keep the counte
n. nr t.cnna nm1 content: but the difficulty
will vanish when we truly consider thnt sullen
gloom nnd pisslonato despair do nothing but
multiply thorns nnd thicken sorrows. Ill
comes to us providentially ns good, nnd is a
good if wo rightfully npply its lessons; who
will not, then, cheerfully nccept tho ill, nnd
thus blunt its nppnrcut sting? Cheerfulness
ought to bo tho fruit of philosophy nnd Chris
tinnlty. Whnt is gnined by peevishness nnd
fretfn'lncs", by perverse sndnessandsullenness?
If we nre ill.let us bo cheered by tho trust that
u-n sliti It annn hn In htnlth: if misfortune befall
u, let us bo cheered by hopeful visions of bet
ter fortnne; if doth robs us of dear one", let
n hn cheered bv the tbouuht that tllV aro only

Hbnll meet to mrt no more forever. Cultivate

Yon will bo mote sought after, more trusted nnd
esteemed for your steady cheerfulness. The
bad, tho vicious, may bo boisterously gay nnd
vulgarly humorous, but seldom or uover tiuly
cheerful. Genuine- cheerfulness is mi nlniost
certain index of a happy nnd a pure heart.

economy acquires nil things needful to our en

puzzles, to which wo havo referred. Wo hoar
of stones being Hung long distances, whilo n
tluo wns lifted high iu tho nir uud foil nu thu
roof of tho weaving shed. Let us take this lino
as typical, and ask ourselves how it wns
inised? Tim obvious answer is "Oh, tho steam
carried it thero." rrecisely; how did tho steam
carry it thero? When it projectile is discharg
ed fiom 11 gun nu enormous pressure is excited
on itsh.isc for 11 considerable portion of time;
but what nro wo to think of tho nature nnd
mudo of n;tlon of Ilia force which lifts a tluo
out of its placo nfter tho contniuing shell has
bee n rent to atoms, nud sends it tlying through
tho nir? Literally, not more than a fow
pounds of steam could find access to the tlue to
do tho work; its surfaco wns too small. Tn
king the tluo at UU ft. long, nnd just nllowluR n
strip ot its surfaco 3 ft. wide us an elVectlvo (in.
sis lor tho nctiou for tho steam, wo havo only
DO ft. surface. A body ot stemu nt 80 lbs. pres-
suromul 1 it. thick over this surfaco would
weighnbout 2 lbs. only. It is impossible to
imagine a sulUcieut velocity Imparted to this 2
lbs. of steam to enable it iu nnv nv tn (111.
pingo on tho flue nud thus propel it through
the uir.
Nor shall wo bo helped if we sav thst tbo
pressure beneath the due wns unbalanced tho
moment the shell burst, and this unbalanced
pressure lifted it. Tho pressure must have
operated for a considerable time nfter the line-
started on its tlight, otherwise no energy could
have been stored iu it to ennblo it to continue
Its ascent. To what then nre wo to look ns the
direct cause of tho ruiu which attenels a boiler
explosion? Whero Is the link between the
energy stored in the water and the walls blown
dawn nt a distance, the scattered bricks of the
seating nud the tlying boiler plates? We do
not think it too much to say that these ques
tions have uevtf beeu answered, and that the
(fleets developed are perhaps nfter nil manifest
ations of the exertion of force by the aid of very
minute quantities of matter, operntiug in a way
which is not quite understood. The cause of
a boiler explosion is oue thing, the cause of the
effects' of ait explosion is quite another. We
hold now, ns wo have kjwajs held, that there is
uothiug occult about the reason why a steam
generator bursts. Neither, perhaps, is there
anything mysterious nbout the flying of plates
and the loss of life, nud the ruin of buildings;
but it is quite certain that no solution yet put
forward has proved capable of that accurate
numerical demonstration which can aloue in
sure its acceptance. That ruin eusuea when a
boiler bursts we kuow, but we do not know
whether a tlying brick dies because it has iwen
subjected lo iuteuse pressure acting through n
limited space for a short time, or whether it is
carried ou a blast of steam as a leaf is carried
by the wiud. or whether it is driven by energy
transferred from a mass ot water moving, and
whoe movement the luckless brick bus
checked. Nor is it ejuite certain although, in
deference to accepted opiuiou, we have spoken
as though it were certain that the tlrst effort
of energy set loose in the rent boiler is to con
vert moto water into steam, nud not to manifest
itself iu some other way which is nppireutly

be tho most etllcient animal of its kind. It

A ntTUKii remarkable c.ise came up lately bo
fore tho Sheriff of Perthshire. A farmer near
Aucliterarder had sold a cow to a person
mimed 1'erth, nud the buver summoned the
farmer iu order to recover damages, seeing
that he had given false information about tho
cow, "I asktvl him," said theplslutiff, "if she
was n good milker." "And what was his re
ply?" He said, "She'll astonish you!" "I
took the cow home, but she has not a single
drop of milk." "Well," said the Sheriff, "I
rather thiuk she did astonish vou."

my mother loved mo tenderly, but during my

Why did Hho never enrcssme, nud nsstire me of
her love ? Sho thought her actions spoko
loudly enough without words. I could not
read her nctious then ns I can now, and how I
longed to hoar her call mo loving uniiies, and
to have her to wrap me iu tho swoet embi.ice of
her strong mother-love." Mnuy n litllo heart

n good material for use on iron axles; just oil
