AT THE STILE.
The leaves are growing ruddy as the sun
begins to dip, .
The birds are twitt’ring forth their evening
song;
Little Lucy sits expectant With her finger at
her 1ip,— .
Whatmakes her sister Alice stay so long?
There are butterflies and dragon-flies all ready
-_ ,toibe chased, -
Thé're are daisy-chains to- Weave, there are
‘ blackberries to taste ;‘ ‘ ‘
Why not play about the meadows for a while?
Why linger, linger, linger at the stile?
Impatient little Lucy is‘la simple-wilted mite,
Her sweetheart days are future joys, ’tis
'clear ;'
Whyrhould Hairy keep his arm around her
Si; 1. 71“s‘,bvaist so tight ?
“’hy make iii-r blush by whisp’ring in her
car '9 ‘ .
The sun will soon be setting—Lucy does not
love the dark;
She dots not love the silent hats that flit
across the park; .
Since he met her, Alice might have walked a
mile—
Why linger, linger, linger at the stile?
This dialogue, small Lucy,. which, seems
xtediops‘ as you tarry”
. To Alice is a very serious thing;
For it" means that she and Harry have this
evening vowed to marry;
It means a cake, lace veil and wedding-ring.
And when a little bridesmaid, uncommonly
like you,
Comes into church so trippingly all dressed
in white and blue, »
You‘ll discover,as you reach the middle aisle,
Why they linger’d, linger’d, linger’d at the
stile...‘ - A. Looxnu

1:] a recent talk amintimate friend of the
senator stated that Mr. Edmunds made no
concealment of his position to his friends,
but was frank in declaring that no contingen-
cy was likely to arise at Cliicagc,which would
justify him in allowing his name to be pre-
sented. He does not believe that the con-
vention will havegany difileulty in selecting a
candidate. The persistence with;whiéh his
. candidacy-finds been. urged by cettaih'east—
ern IlClVSimpblS whose loyalty to the Re-
publican party is of grave doubt, is not grat-
if ying to Mr. Edmunds, who is reported by
hisfricnds as entertaining the opinion that
these newspapers are trying to thrust him
forward merely to defeat Grant or Blaine.
The above statement, which comes frOm per-
sonal friends, can be relied upon as correctly
representing his position. ‘

We are imformed that Yale college has in

in the marginal title as “Israel Putnam esq.,
mayjor general of the Connecticht forces and
‘eommander-in-chief at the engagement on
Bunker Hill, near Boston, 17th of J une
1775.” This affords additional proof of what
has never been successfully disputedmamely,
that contemporary histbr accorded the lead-
ership on that eventful y to General Put-
nam. It Is quite possible that in the unor—
ganized state of the colonial forces at that
time no one had been formally invested with
general command, but if anyone was the
leader on that occasion it was General Put-

_In_a_paper on the origin of the plow, Dr.
Tyler states that the first agricultural im-
plement seems to have been a pointed stick
four or five feet long, such as many savage
tribes still carry for the purpose of digging
roots, knocking down fruits and unearthing
animals. At a later date the} stick was bent
and used as a hoe, the point being hardened
by fire. In the southern part of Sweden
large tracts of land 'give evidence of early
cultivation, which is attributed to a pre—
historic people called by ‘the natives “the
hackers,” who are always associated with
the giants 'of mythology, and whose rude
hoe was a fir pole with a short projecting
branch. There came into use afterwards a
larger instrument of the same kind, which
was not used like the. hoe but dragged by
men or oxen. Instances of this are to be
found in old Egyptian pictures and baa-re—
liefs, and it was probably the primitive idea
of the plow, which is of prehistoric origin,
the Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese. It had
from the earliest times a religious sanction.
The next improvement was a wooden hook
shod with iron; and in the time of Virgil
awheeled plow was in use which differed
but little froui the best in Europe a century
ago. '

USING THE TIDES as A MOTIVE POWER.—
A suggestive paper was recently read before
Utilization of the Tides,” by Mr. Oates of
Bradford. Mr. Oates was of opinion that
although the coal supply Of England ‘would
last for a long time to come, yet that ulti—‘-
rival all other sources of mechanical power,
The ways of taking advantage of the power
of the tides be divided into two comprehen-
sive classes—one requiring large permanent
construction, such as the various modifica—
tions of the tidal dam; this he considered
the most efficient and economical for
using the vertical motion of the
tide which motion is the most 1111-,
portant for mechanical purposes. Thcj
tively unimportant utilizers, which do not
require such works, such as the tidal task}
the power is required intermittenly. The
former could only be undertaken by large
public bodies, but the latter mightC: em-
plOyed by small capitalists. He then sug-
gested how the horizontal motion of the
tides might be taken advantage of by water
wheel, etc. After pointing out that the
ways of utilizing' the tides were innumer—
able. and describing the construction of the
tidal dam with suitable converters of the
power, such as turbines in openings of the
dam, Working air-compressing or magnetic—
elecfric machines, he stated the necessity
‘for large conservators for storing the power
between the tides would be the greatest
difficulty in utilizing their power. A brief
discriptiou of how this could be done, and
the power rendered constant, was given.
The means of conveying the power to a
distance was then considered, air and water
pressure and electricity being suggested.
With regard to the latter, Mr. Oates believ—
ed that the “age of steam” had reached its
zenith, and that the “age of electricity” had
dawned; but showed there the difficulty in
conveying the power to a distance; be sug—‘
gestcd that manufacturing towns might be
built adjacent to suitable sites for utilizing
the tides. '

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
“make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
lat. Our “PATENT Insmn BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
Where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other'Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them Without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our "PA-rm Hmcnn CAP" consists
of the-back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thmb—screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the‘thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
Wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four—wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All ‘our Safes are IRON-LINED msmn,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’a being damp. All corners of the Safes
with the very hard nature of our filling, pro-
vents them from injury from falling, or fall-
ing walls or timbers. Our' Safes have THREE
more instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In'the great Boston fire our Safes had
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. 'After that great fire we published
a. complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
hiled to preserve. their contents, besides those
that were successful, and. for months chal-
lenged Our competitors to follow our-example
which they would not do, as'they knew that
by so doing they would only assist-usin dem-
onstrating ,to the world the superiority of our
.Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so. conclusively
prdvcd the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we eould'im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strengfi
ened them in various ways, until We 11
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. .It haaheen
our constant aim to make thepns'r Sam that
can be produced, believing that, espebially- in
purchasing a safe to . keep that which may
have cost a. lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap ' safes, and
" recommend that which can be sold the cheap- '
est, without,.regard to quality, and many
, safesare now in use-that are painted finely
_ outside, but are worthless to preserve theii‘
contents from fire. We make but one class
.of Safes, which is the best we - know how to
produce. Semi for: descriptive catalogue. .

“To Rent.”
Yesterday morning a card of ‘ ‘To rent"
was nailed to a house on Brush street. It
was a large card, and the printing was plain.
A bold line at the bottom said that people
should inquire nextdoor, and pretty soon the
calls commenced. The first man who came
began :—
“Is the house next door to rent P"
“Yes.”
“Then it is not for sale '1’"
"NO, sir.” .
“Isn’t eh? I thought it was for sale 1” he
said as he went" away.
“The next ”man stood looking at the card
‘for full five minutes, and then called next
door and said :— '
“I s’pose the house is empty, isn’t it '2"
“Yes.” ‘
‘-Then it is to rent 1’”
”Yes." ~ . ,
“How long has it been to rent 2”
“Only one day."
“How long will it be to rent 1"
“Can’t ten." .
“Well, if I can’t find out anything about it
here, I’ll go to the owner. I s’pose he’s in
Europe, isn’t he 1"
‘“No; he’s in New York.”
.“Ah, that‘s alWays the way. Well, if I
conclude to take the house, I'll call around
untrain- I! .
The third caller was a lady. She looked
into the empty house and then called next
door and said :—- , '
“I see that you have a house to
“Yes."
“Will it be painted this spring 1‘"
“Yea.” ‘
“Has it ever been a boarding-house?”
“N0." .
“It has a cellar and hot and cold water ? ”
“Yes?
“And folding doors and grates 7-"
“Yes." _
“Well, we have had some thoughts of
moving this spring. _ I don’t think We shall,
but if we do, and this house is to rent When
we get ready I’ll look through it.” ‘
The fourth caller was also a lady. She
looked in at all the windows, entered the
back yard and called next door and asked :—
“Can you tell me if this darling little house
is to rent? '
“It is.’ ’
“It is the sweetest little place in all Detroit
and I know that a family :would be happy
in it. It reminded me of a romantic little
house in the outskirts of Paris. How much
is the'rent f"
"Eighteen dollars per ’month.’ ’
“Eighteen dollars! that’s highway robbery.
Why, it's a squatty little pig-pen, no sun, no
air, and as gloomy as a prison! You must
be crazy ? Do you think war times have
come again P That’s all I want to know. I
didn’t care about changing, anyhow, but
out for a walk andseeing the card up, I,
thought I might as well inquire.”——Detroit

The‘other day T. G. met an old friend
who was formerly a porsperous young lum-.
berman up north, but whose bad habits of
drinking resulted as they often do, thrOugh
he has since reformed and is trying to do
better:
“How are you 1’" said T. G. 7
' “Pretty Well, thank you, but I've just
been to a doctor to have him look at my
three .” ”
“What’s the matter ?”
“Well,'the doctor couldn't give me any en-
couragement. At least he couldn't find what
I wanted him to find." ' l ‘
“What did you expect him to find 1"
“I asked him to look down my throat for
the saw-mill and farm that had gone down
there".
"And did he see anything of it!"
“No; but he advised me if I ever got
another mill to run it by water-.3

Tit for Tat.
Mr. B— was pastor of a Baptist church
in a jcertain town in one of the Western
States. - He had beenon very'bad terms with
his flock for. some time. They abused him
whenever they” could find occasion, and he
recirpocated with equal readiness. Before
his coutract with the parish expired, he re.
celved the appointment of chaplain at the
State prison. Elated at this lucky oppor-
tunity of getting rid of him, the congrega-
tion came in full numbers to hear his fare-
well sermon, perhaps less to compliment
than to annoy him with their presence.
Great was their astonishment, and still'grcat-
er their anger, when the reverend gentleman
chose for his text the follbwing words—“I
go to prepare a place foryou * * ' that
where Iain, there ye may be also.”—Har-
