Demouest's Monthly stands unrivalled as. a
Family Magazine. Its choice Literature, its
superior Music, its large amount of valuable
information on miscellaneous subjects, its
prsctieal an 1 reliable information in regard to
the fashions, and artistic illustrations, give it a
just claim to its wtdl-earneJ title, "The Model
r '.nine of America."
s-t
a Location
From the Nc Jersey Mechanic
The most careless observer cannot
f.stl to notice the new faces he daily
encounters. They ure keen, .restless
faces, full of iritellii;eneo ai d animation,
ami seem-to say, " I atn hunting a locu
tion." These young men must enter
tain dreams of some modern Utopia,
where fkill or enterprise or both com
bined, reap rich harvests, and onward
they ;o, year after year, in quest of the
attractive region. After a time, how
ever, most of these men settle dowu and
beeoiiie staid and respectable citizens,
while other? journey on until they reach
the lat uo-il in the round of life the
grave. It w&a a migratory movement
that settled the new world, and the
movement is still going on, impelling
people from the Atlantic Coast to the
Aileghanies; -from the AHeuhanics to
the Mississippi; from the Mississippi
to the plains; end from the plains to
the Pacific.
It affects all classes, rich and poor,
and the throng that is continually
pouring acro3 the continent is a full
picture of our whole American society.
5ut individually considered, this migra
tory, movement is generally a poor
busiuess, and he who is afflicted with it
to an unusual degree had better find a
method of curing it. Restless nations
will achieve great things in the way of
conquest, discovery and adventure;
but restless people are apt tj achieve
nothing if their restlessness keeps driv
ing them from one place to another in
search of better fortunes ; nor do they
become recognized land marks. It is
a natural curiosity that leads a young
man to sec the world ; but if the curi
osity be indulged, it is apt to become
an insurmountable habit. The rrore we
see of the world, the more we want to
see of it ; the more we travel, the less
content we are to stay at home, and set
tie down in diligent, patient, persistent
efforts that brin wealth, honor, dtsttnc
tton, usefulness and influence. It is not
the- revolving meteor, but the steady,
shining stars, always to be found in
their ap: ointed places, that give char
ficter .to the fiunanjcnt, and scryo as
cure guides to the mariner and way
farer; po, it i3 not the restless traveler
who travels from place to place to look
upon'tho wonders -of- the world, who
impress their character upon the world,
and leave a mark behind when they die
: but the pat ent, plodding workers,
who stick to one thing and to one place,
until they solve the problem of their
lives. ' Young men. cannot learn too
early how intimately their success in
life is connected with loyalty, and how
much their influence depends upon
rooting themselves into the soil, and
there remaining, until t.ieir genius,
whatever it may be, shall yield its fruit.
The tree that is often transplanted
dwindles and dies without-arriving at
maturity, and without leaving a blessing
behind it ; it is the tree that has its
home in one spot, and that strikes its
roots deep and spreads them wide in the
pon, ttiat becomes useful and honored.
It is a worthier ambition in a young
iunu w iuu iruCCS OI ulS JftDOr BDU
genius iu soma one spot in the world,
thau to wander over the whole world
and spend his life in admiring the traces
which other men and otherpfople have
left behind them. Every .part; of our
land has its own special attractions.
The Southern States have their mild
and beautiful climate and their many
incentives to out-door life. But the
North and West, if they have a more
rigorous climate, have the superior in
citements to lon.r sustained exertion
which that climate affords. It 'matters
little whether one lives in the West or
in the South, either affords a good field
for successful and useful exertion to one
who is content to remain iu one plac
and do his Lest. There are wealth and
honors to bo gained in the South, and
there aro wealth and honors to be gain
cl in the West; but they offer them
selves as rewards only to the pa
tient toiler, who seeks them with Ktead
fust resolution. They flee from thoso
who pursue them iu aimless wandering,
and who go from place to place iu use
less search for some favored spot where
they can gather gold and riches without
labor.
Young man, stay where you aro, if
you can do reasonably well there.
Waste not the years of your youth in
wandering over the world iu quest of a
better place. Your success in life de
pends not so much on the place yon
live iu, as it does upon yourself.
To Ultimate the Powei of a stream.
Almost every man has about him in
his daily walk sufficient ar paratus for a
tolerably acenrate estimate of the quan
tity of water flowing in any stream. A
walking stick, a jack knife and a watch,
provided the walking stick is jut about
three feet long, are all the tools' neces
sary for the purpose.
Take a section of the sfreim as uui
firm in breadth and depth as passible,
and measure off upon its bank some
definite length, say from one to four
hundred feet, according to the rapidity
of the water ; set a stake close to the
water hi each end of. this section, then
throw into the water opposite the upper
stake a green twi or limb of a tree, or
other object of such specific gravity,
as to nearly, but not quite, stufc, and of
such size that one portion shall remain
at the surface, while another portion
nearly touches the bottom, the ol ject
being to get the average speed of the
water; the resistance caused by the
bed and banks of the stream necessi
tate some carp iu this part of the
experiment.
Note accurately the time the object
is passing from stake to stake, and re
peat this operation several times, and at
as many points towards the opposite
shore; the sum. of the several time.",
divided by the number of points at
which the speed was taken, gives the
average speed of the water.
iNow measure the depth at several
equi distant points across the stream ;
the sum of these depths, divided by the
number of points at which the depths
were measured, gives the average depth;
the average depth, multiplied by the
breadth -of the stream, gives the arei
of the cross section ; this area, multi
plied by fhc length of the section, gives
the cubic contents of the body of water
embraced iu the section Thus we have
the quantity of its velocity, which arc
the elements necessary to -.how the
value of a stream for manufacturing
purposes, provided it has sufficient fall
anywhere to render it available.
Allowing sixty-two pounds for each
cubic foot of water, and a supply of
1,UUU cubic feet per minute, and a fall
of ten fee, we have : 1,000 multiplied
by G2, equals 02,000 lbs. ; L2,000
multiplied by 10, equals 020,000 IU.
momentum; 020,000 divided bj 33.-
U00, equals lp 7 horse power. One
1 fifth at Jeast must be deducted for
friction and loss, making in this case
about 15 horse power. Exchange:
The Largest City jx the Would.
Many'assert that London is far supe
rior, both iu size and the number of its
inhabitants. Hut such is not the case.
Jeddo, the capital of Japan, is, without
exception1, the largest and most popu
lous city in the world. " It contain- the
vast number of 1,000,000 dwellings,.
and o,OUO,000 human souls. ' Many of
the streets are niueteen Japanese scries
in lengthtwenty two English miles.
The commerce of Japan far exceeds
that of any other in the world, and the
sea ajong the coast is constantly white
with sails of the southern portion;of the
empire, where they are laden with rice,
tea, sea-coal, tobacco, silk, cotton-and
tropical fruits, all of which can find
ready market in the north, and jthen, in
return, freighted with corn, salt, isin-
glass and various other productions

NESC1T REVERTI."
From the Christian Weekly.
We heard during the progress of the
late dreadful war, that the beautiful
chateau of Malmaisou was destroyed in
the course of tho bombardments of the
forts. We shall soon learn how far the
ruin has extended. It would be a mat.
ter of sincere regret to lose the many
interesting mementoes of Josephine,
which the enthusiasm of the Empress
Eugenie had preserved there, gathering
them from every place.
In one room was the harp she used to
play upon, an ancient instrument, with
the book of music lving beside it, bear
ing the old Paris imprint of tho last
century. Alas, how silent now aro the
fingers that oueo swept over the strings.
Then in another room, tho main apart
ment, exquisitely furnished, with paint
ings in the panels of fresco, and mantels
set with jewels, we could sea the very
tambour frame, with the canvass still
stretched upon it, and the embroidery
pattern, half finished, just as Josephine
left it when her last sickness came sud
denly on. A little stand, arranged with
pouches, held the balls of faded worsted
from which she chose the colors as she
needed them.
Overhead we entered the chamber,
hung now, as formerly, with crimson
and gold, that was reserved for her
slumbers; and thero was the bed on
which she died. A mall painting upon
an easel close by, commemorated and
'depicted tho scene of Napoleon's final
?i-it to the mmsion. It showed him
kneeling beside tho couch, his face
buried in his hands, while II or tense
stood behind him in tears. Perhaps, in
the hour of his desolation, the great
warrior remembered deeply his folly in
putting away from his heart the best
and truest friend he ever had. The
hundred days" were over, and ho was
a fugitive aain. I rem atciloo, he :
hurried to Malmatson. Ho spent there
his last night iu I ranee.
Out iu the grounds among the flow
ers, there now stands a little bronze
monument with the inscription, " The
last step of the emperor." It was plant
ed on the frpot where his fWit touched
last as he j sprang into the carnage
which bore him to these shore. Saint
Helena came next,
Uut that which used to impress us
all, the most, was a simple article in a
small room which Napleou-uiado his
cabinet and library. That apart meat
is decorated in the Pompeii ui style, and
is a proof of the delicate taste of Jose
phine, who prepared it for a surprise to
her husband on his return from Egypt
to be the first consul. There was the
chair in which he was wont to .sit as he
planned the vast campaigns on the con
tinent. There are his charts, and maps,
and books of reference.
Uut on the table near the window
stands a purious clock. It marks the
hours, the seasons, and tho changes of
the moon. The machinery is compli
cated, and just over the hands, fr cau
tion's sake, I suppose the maker put
the Latin direction, Ncscit Iteverti it
dors not know how to go backward.
Cheerfully, accurately even yet, the
little timepiece ticks on just as ever,
unconscious that it once marked the
minutes of a monarch. It does not know
how to j go backwards. Timo is inex
orable. And the commonplace warning
of the motto is, to each thoughtful stu
dent of history, lost in the deeper sag
gestion it bears.
Josephine lies in her quiet tomb at
Itucil close by. Hortcnse is buried in
the erypt beneath it. The emperor's
body is covered with the conspicuous
dome the enemies of his empire have
just been trying to shatter. And quite

Why will not wicked men learn the
lesson? Decisions made by free-willed
, creatures are irrevocable Deliberate
wickedness is often punished by Divine
Providence with a most simple form of
retribution ; it is allowed to have its
own way, plunge the man into hopeless
ruin, and then force him to see with
his own eyes that the past is irrepar
able. , 1

Borne Slgus Warranted Not to Fall,
A little work on, "Modern Palmist
ry" brings together a largo amount of
amusing gossip, though wo cannot say
how much you believe of it. The per
son who will carefully study the wrin
kles, furrows, lines, and hollows of the
hand will be able to tell fortuuc aj well
as any modern gipsy.
If the palm of the hand be long, and
the fiugers well proportioned, not
soft, but rather hard, it denotes the
persou to bo ingenious, changeable, and
given to theft and vice.
If the baud hollow, solid, and well
knit in the joints, it predicts long life,
but if over thwarted, then it denotes
short life.
Observe the finger of jMercury that
is the middle finder ; if the end of it
exceed the j fiut of tho ring iinger.
such a man will rule his own house;
and his wife will be pleasing and obe
dient to hiui ; but if it be shirt and
does not reach the joint, he will have

Profit of Goats. H. W Scott, of
Fiank'in Ountv, Ky., writes to the
Observer and Reporter (Lexington) a
long letter in regard to goat ni-ing in
the State. In. the course of it be says :
I have a flock of neatly two hundred
head of Cashmere or Angora goit.,
produced by eroding the pure bred
Angora bucks with the native or com
mon females, now deep enough in the f
blood to produce wool long enough to be
shorn and manufactured. This Hock
has co?t mc almost nothing ; the sales
which have been made, and the m -at
and skins of the males and' wethers
from tbc flock from time to time in the
course of its production hiving renin
ncratcd all expenses. I have recently
received the account of sale of my goats'
wool at 85 cents per pound. To produce
this wool cost me no more per pound
than to produce tho wool of my4 im
proved Kentucky" sheep, and yet 37
cents per pound was tho best offer I
could get for my sheep's wool in Ken
lucky. Both the goat's wool and the
sheeps' wool were shorn and handled
alike, and one produced 85 cents, and
the other 37 cents por pouud."
Purity of Ice. Besides the fact
that ice is lighter than water, there is
another curious thing about it which
persons donotknow perhaps, its purity.
A lump of ice melted will always bo
come purely distilled water- When
the early navigators of the Arctic seas,
got out of water, they melted fragments
nC thosn vast mountains of ice called
icebergs, and were astonished to. find it
yielded only'.fresh water. They thought
they were frozen salt water, not know
ing that they were formed on tho land
and in some way launched into the sea.
Uut if they had been right, the result
would have been all the same. The
fact isj the water in freezing turns out
of it all that is uot water, salt, air, col?
nrinff matter, and all impurities. Fro
zen salt water makes fresh water ice. If
you freeze a basin of indigo water it
U1 male a it as nure as that made of
i a
pure rainwater. When the cold is very
sudden these foreign matters have no
time to escape, cither by rising or sink
ing, and are entangled with the ice,
and do not form any part of i,t. '
