. CROQUET. '
How I rue the day when I played croquet i
That game with the traps oiwire,
With the fancy meals, and the rolling balls,
Lost me my heart’s desire.
I'm beat by' a blonde, that festive Hal
Called Witching Jennie Lake,

Than shone on the painted stake. 5.

She played croquet with a winning way,‘
This damsel yOuilg and fair ; ' ,
With a smile so cute, and ohigh-hceled boot.
And a rose in her floating hair; ’
Such trills of song, and such bursts of mirth,
All for my own sweet sake, , , ,
Till I thought a rainbow touched the earth
Where she stood by the painted stake?
II
I fell in love with a tnrlle~dove. I)
And cooed and wooed her well ', 3
But I fell in hats at her croquet male, 9
And called him a cheeky swell.
If he had not been, what did he mean
Such a liberty to take .
As to steal a kiss, and insult the miss
Till she'blush‘ed like the painted stake

Ah I the game’s all up, and my bitter cup it

For treacherous Jennie Lake,

Presently she returned, divested of little

She cast a searching glance around the

“Horrid dirty 1” she said, disdainfully.
“When has it been cleaned 2”
“About a year ago," said I meekly.
She gave vent to a pretty little scream.
“A year ? . Shocking ! Oh, I couldn’t sit
down in cream that hadn’t been cleaned for
a year i ‘ This must'be put to rights”.
She said this in a very determined tone,
and then set to work. She converted my

little handkerchief over that pretty head,
and snatching up the fly duster, dusted away
valiantly—raised a cloud of dust in which I

Below we copy an article from the Rome
Sentinel, which will be read with interest,
descriptive of the new American steel, in
which invention several of their citizens
are pccuniarily interested. If all that is
claimed for it be true, it is certainly 3 won-
derffil production, and Is destined to bring
about important results.
Dr. Chas. M.'Ncs, a prominent practicing
physician of York, Pa., being called to see a
lady who had been struck by lightning, was
led to investigate the cause of the atlracliou
ofelcelricify to that particular spot, and
found by examination that the eleclricity
had passed down the chimney, thence to a
corner of the room where stood a double-
barrcled shot-gun,which it had melted down,
thence out in the yard to the dog-kennel,
striking and melting the iron chains with
which the dog was secured, and killing him.
On examining the melled metal, the doctor
was astonished to see the perfect purifica-
tiOn and crystallization which had taken
place, and conceived the idea of making
sleel by subjecting the iron while in a molten
stale to currents of electricity. While thus
experimenting, with goodrcsults, he w 5
one day hunting on a range of rounded,
sloping hills, on the Codorus creek. He
shot a pheasant, and sleeping to pick it up,
discovered a small piece of ore resembling
in appearance the melted gun-barrel and
chain,.having the same crystalization and
purification. The similarity was so marked
that he was led to examine and test its
qualities, which he found highly magnolia.
He melted some of the ore in a erut-il‘lchnd
run out a button of very fine Steel, which.
on being analyzed, was found to be silicon
stccl : an entirely new product in the slot1
line, from which the ore derived its name
of “Silicon Steel Ore.” This led to other
and more important experiments, among
which was the paddling of 15 lo 20 per
cent. of this ore wilhoommou pig-iron, in
an'o'rdinary paddling furnace. It was sur-
the present, be, together with several other

edge. A tool made of this steel has a much
finer edge, and Will hold it much longer, is
harder and tougher than the cht English or
Ptu~sian steel, and we are told will not rust.
Railroad rails made from this steel are mt
affected by frost, as are other sleel rails.
The more carbon in iron or steel rails the
more susceptible they are to cold or heat,
thus expanding or contracting, there being
more carbon in sleel than iron, making it
brittle and easily broken.« SO it is that a
steel rail is not as safe in frosty weather as
iron. The silicon being indestructable in-
the fire, and unlike Carbon, is not affected
by frost, hence a silicon sleel rail is the sins
qua non in railroading, never rusting,always
shining like silver. I
The discovery of the very valuable prop-
erties oflhe silicon ore is a matter of the
greatest public benefit, by. furnishing our
great iron highways wilh a cheap, safe and
durable rail. It is also of'grcat national im-
portance, in rendering our country indepen-
dent Of other lands in the production of an
article within ourselves which has hcrclo-
fore drawn largely from our resourc85,by the
payment of immense sums Of money to for-
eign countries in supplying the wants of our
great railways, and sleel for manufacturing
purposes. The Tribune says :“We count
the Bessemer process superseded by this dis-
covery, whereby a perfect steel'is produced,
wilh no risk of failure, and at a cost consid-
erableless than that of the famous British
process. And we trust that other and equally
important triumphs in the mixture and man-
ipululion of ores will derive their impulse
from this.”
The Elmira. rolling mill has been manu-
facturing rails with the use of silicon ore
for about me year,and has made a contract
for ‘the purchase of ore for ten years.
There have been made, at their mills ten
thousand ions ofsteel rails- within the past
'yenr, which have becnlaid on the track (1‘
the Erie Railway, and not a Single rail has
given out, or had to be removed from the
track as yet. Every rail is reported to be
as sound and good as when first laid, and
"the ends as firm and square as when first
sawed off. The tops are sound, and the-
marks of the mill are scarcely worn off
The Northern Central Railroad is waking
up to the necessity of the use of the “silicon
sleel” rail, and has bought filly tons of rails
from the Elmira rolling mills, which lhe
company is testing onits road at Sunbury.
The Atlantic & Great Western Railroad has
also ordered five hundred tons of “silicon
steel" rails from the same mill.
Rails made by this process have been in
use on the Baltimore &. Ohio Railroad, the
Cleveland & Pillsburg, and Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne & Chicago Railroad for nearly two
years, and are apparently as good as when
first laid. Tests have been made over and
over again, in which rails made from the
use of this ore have stood as many as 130
blotvs antler the steam hammer, without
breaking, while ordinary sleel' rails. will
only stand two or three of the same. They
will bend before breaking. The file
factory at Middlclown, Orange counly, N.
Y., has tested the steel in files, and the su-
perintendent say it works better than any
sleel he ever used, . ad that he never made
as good files as made from this steel. In
the Pennsylvania railroad shops at Allona,
this sleel has been used for lathe tools,
which the machinists pronounce far better
than any they ever used. The Bronxville
pocket-knife manufactory have worked this
steel in knife-blades, and Mr. David E.

“Allis fairiu wan”. At least... so it is
said. It must he confessed, too, that the
code of morals as evinced in the practice of
belltgerenls, IS but an cxemplificalion of
the maxim above set forth.
Surround your enemy’s camp at night
and cut him to pieces before he can rub his

All that isa part of the scheme of war.
We are led to these thoughts while think-

war in the 2' intro, and which was brought
afresh to our recollection by the arrival
here of the young Grand Duke.

Success a‘nllty.
Rev. W. II. 1-]. Murray says: “I hold it to
be a prime obligation resting on every man
to succeed uplo the fullest measure of that
success which is possible to him in life.
Success is not only pleasant ; it is a. duty.
Look at man along whatever range of facul-
ties, and you will see in the pcifect equip-
ment of capacity, in the presence of every
energy, the obligation to succeed. In the
wings of a. bird you see that the Maker has
suggested flight ; in the build of a dog and a
horse, speed ; in the ox, strength ; and so,
through all the grades of life, God, in the
organization, in the capacities bestowed, has
pointed out the mode and result of life.
But in man this is most observable. Look
at yourself, my friend, your faculties, in
your endowments by nature, and see in the
liberal, I had almost saints—«nay, I will say-—
in the snperabundant resources of your or-
ganization, the suggestion, yea, the com-
mand, of your Maker. All the elements and
means necessary io'success in any branch cf
worthy industry, in any line of noble ambi-
lion, are in you. A young man has no right
to fail in life. It may not be his duty to
succeed in the direction and to the extfltt
that his ambition may suggest, for ignorance
may misdireel, and vanity exaggerate; bit
it is his duly, to succeed in the direction
and to that extent, in which his natural ca- '
pacities point and make possible. Society
is full of failures thal‘need never have been
made ; full of men who have never succeed-
Ilc pdSsessed, m0, rather
ore than the ordinary nplncss of his race
for turning an honest penny.
Such, then, was the man Einsteine at the
time the Allies commenced knocking away w
at Sebastopol and the Malakofi'. What or
who it was that recommended him to the
commander of the allied forces for the busi-
n
ess about lobe undertaken, we shall,
oubtless, never know. ‘
Thalbusiness was neither more nor less
hanabold, gigantic effort to depreciate

fi'ccting this stupendous mas de game.
To the English we believe, belongs the cred-

execution of this plan. ,
In fact that is an Old dodge of our British
cousins invented as long ago as Lord

his successors in office, on the enemies of

carefully inlerviewed by a discreet emissary
of the British commander, and, as expected,
“Barkis waswillin’.” The cunning trader
at once saw his opportunity and readily
embraced it, having little to lose and every-
thing to gain.
' Being carefully guarded at a secure point
within the lines, furnished with an English
printing-press, and all the requisue mate-
rials, there were sOon ready for issue mil-
lions on millions of simulaled Russian
currency, exact similes of the genuine
circulating medium of the country
Having free access within the different
lines, and being well acquainted through all
the lower provinces, it was no difiicull
matter, by means of numerous apt] aclive
agents, to flood all that part of Russia with
the bogus money. Beef, Dork, flour, and
forage of all kinds was‘ bought up all
through the country and resold to both
belligcrcnis for good money, of course.
Einsteine, the Jew pcddler, now blossom-
ed out as chief commissal‘y, in fact, the
great army contractor of Southern Russia.
Unknown millions of this spurious stuff
have been rapidly put into circulation, for
every dollar of which there is a good dollar
or dollar’s worth in thelhands of Einsteins
or his agents. The queer became at lost
almost as common in and around Moscow,
and even in St. Pelersburg, as it was about
the seal ofwar. Events were fast culmina-
ting. Though ihc bills were 'wonderfully
well executed, the knowledge of the huge
trick could not be longer kept from the
Officials of the Imperial treasury. Now if

paper.
Of cOursc an immense uproar all through-
out lhe.empire followed the discovery of
this clever trick of the enemy. Au immedi-
ate session of the Imperial Privy Council
was convened, and when the facts were all
laid before it, and duly canvassed, his
Majesty the Czar, was found full equal to
the great emergency. As intended by the
originators oflhc scheme, it began to tell
disastrously on the credit Of the country,
the currency began to sink rapidly, and had
not the danger been grappled wilh a firm,
bold hand, the paper money of Russia
would in a few weeks, have declined far
below our own, ill the darkest days of the
rebellion. So deftly laid and worked was
this plan of the enemy, and so far-reaching
in its results, that nothing short of dcsper
ale remedies would sufiice lo bafiIe‘ the evil,
and avert the Impending ruin. ‘
Before the Council rose the Emperor
caused to be drawn up and immediately
published an imperial edict, whereby the

IN New-Britain, Ct., at Good Samaritan
ocicty has been in full operation for over
wo years, holding crowded meetings every
Sabbath afternoon, which are deeply inter-
esting, and productive of much good.
Thousands have. signed the pledge, and
others are coming forward nearly every
eék. The society distributes a tract once
week to each family in the place. The
singing from the temperance hymn-book,
published by the National Temperance
Society, is a special feature of . these meet-
ings. Nearly every body sings. The chil-
dren take up the tunes and sing them about
the street. One very little girl, having a
drunken father, kept singing over and over
again the line, '
“ Come sign the pledge ;’tls your salvation,”
in the presence of her father, little» thinking
what its effect would be upon him. He
lislened, listened again, till the spirit of the
hymn took possession of him, and he did
go and sign the pledge, and his home is now
bright and happy. The little girl sang but
one line of the tune, for it was all she knew;
but it was the means of bringing her father
back from his wandering.

Oxen Waltz”.
Mozart was sitting one morning in his
bed, when his wife entered to inform him
that the butcher was down stairs with his
bill. Mozart, who'had been for some time
composing one of his greatest pieces (the
immortal Clemenza di Tito), was arranging
in his fantasia of its most beautifhl airs.
Eie neither saw nor heard his wife. She, a
lovely, kind soul, of practical views, who
had shortly before married the young artist,
stood waiting a while. Finally seizing him
by the elbow, she began to repeat the
butcher's account. All was in vain.' The
butcher ascended the stairs. Mozart, indis--
tinctly conscious that Something had passed,
had continued forming the effusions of his
fantasia on paper, when the heavy foot—
steps rcsoundcd in the ball. His walking
cane was at band. Without turning his
eyes from the shot he held his cane against
the door, succeeding but for a moment.
But the delightful meanwhile had been
poured on the paper—it was saved. The
cane dropped from his hand and he fell
back exhausted. The door opened and his
wife and the butcher entered. All uncon-
scious of anything he lay on the bed, his
forehead bathed in cold sweat.‘ The wife,
terror-struck at the sight, rushed to-ber be-
loved husband ; she bathed his forehead and
embraced him. Mozart at last opened his
eyes. “Never mind,” said the butcer, under
whose blood-stained Lcoat , beat a. feeling
heart, “you make me a fine waltz for my
marriage ball, and I will cancel the debt,
and let you have meat for a year to come,"
“It is a bargain,” cried the lively and gifted
Mozart. “Meat fora year did I say,” ex:
claimed the curaptured tradesmen; “No!
one hundred (locals you shall have for such
a waltz, but I want it with trumpets, and
horns, and fiddles—and soon, too.” In one
hour the unrivalled “Oxen Waltz” was
written.
