THE BALL-ROOM BELLE. The moon and all her starry train Were fading from the morning sky, ‘When home the ball-room belle again Returned, with throbbing pulse and brain, Flushed cheek and tearful eye. The plume that danced above her brow— The gem that sparkled in her zone— The scarf of spangled leaf and bough Were laid aside—they mocked her now, ‘When desolate and lone. ‘How many gallant hearts she’d won! A reigning belle, she could not stir, But like the planets round the sun, Her suitors followed—all but one— And he the world to her! And she had lost him !—marvel not The lady’s eyes with tears were wet ; Though love by man is soon forgot, Tt'never yet was woman’s lot To love and to forget. ———— .-----+ @ LET US LIVE. ‘Let us live, for life is fleeting! Time is quickly hurrying on ; Let us hail the birth of pleasure, Welcoming the transient treasure Ere its little life-is gone. Let us live, for life is fleeting! Sweetest joys are soonest flown; ‘Let us revelin a palace ; ‘We may drink of sorrow’s chalice Ere the morrow’s sun be gone. Let us live, for time is ficeting! ‘Let us revel while we may ! ‘We’ve-no time to think of sorrow; We may drink her cup to-morrow; But to pleasure give to-day. Let us live, for life is fleeting! Banish every shade of gloom! Let us sing, till care reposes, ‘And at last with blooming roses Wreathe the portal of the tomb! a BLUE SKY SOMEWHERE. It was the remark of a child, consoling himself for the loss of a promised pleasure on a rainy afternoon, that there was “blue sky somewhere.” And the sapphire heavens,fiooded withsunshine, ‘on the next day made his faith a verity. The lesson is for you, and for all of us, reader; and we need it quite as much as the boy who sat looking out of the window upon a leaden sky and the fast-falling rain, and trying to find comfort in the thought that, far above the cloud and storm, the sun was shining in his undimmed splendor. “Into each life some rain must fall,” says the poet-teacher; and in the days that come ‘dark and dreary” we are apt to feel, in spite of experience and reason, that the brightness has passed from our lives forever. But it isnot so. Like travelers we rise, now upon mountain heights, and now descend into deeply shaded valleys; pass through open savannas, down upon which the Iden sunbeams fall; and anon are buried in lense forests, that seem stretching their interminable vistas to the very end of our journey.— We encounter all aspects of the heavens; have our mornings, our noondays, our evenings, and our nights with only the stars for guidance; our wild, contending storms, and our sunny, tranquil . atmospheres. Has it not been so with you, read er? And yet, when the sun goes down, or hides his face in mantling clouds, does not vour heart w faint, and your faith in blue sky somewhere” Comes feeble as the rays of an expiring lamp? The very children are our teachers! Between our inner and our outer worlds there is ing more than simple analogy; the relation bears the higher one of correspondence, even to minutest things; so that nature, with all its infinite varieties of aspects and changes, rep‘resenting interior aspects and changes, becomes our instructor. Our true poets rise into a perception of this, and give us lessons of wisdom that sink deeply into the heart, and become to us as lights in dim places, strength in weariness,and confidence in last results when the mind is trembling in doubt and fear. Not mere words ii rythmic order are the poet’s, when he says: “Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shinimg; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.” «If I could only believe that the clouds would $s away—that sunny days would come again— Pinight weep less,” was the language of one who sat in the darkness and sorrow of disappointment, asa friend and consoler offered her the pets lesson, that she might take it into her eart. “But I can see no rift in the clouds; no line of Hight along the dark horizon; no abatement of the fast-falling rain.” _ “We are sure that the rain will cease; that behind the clouds the sun is shining. We have the fullest confidence in returning sunbeams; and why? Because we know that clouds are ay earthly exhalations; that they do not rise in the heavens—that they can never reach t ptin, whose beams shine ever on with undiminfished splendor, and have power to disperse the densest vapors that drew their curtains behis aiank face. Now the world of mind, the world of nature, hasits sun, as the poet has so beautifully intimated. pen a sees by ight, and the heart is. refreshed and beautified vient flowers and verdure by its warmth. But at times this sun is hidden by clouds, and there are shadows in the mind and rain upon the heart.— The days are dark anddreary. Why? Whence are Pe clouds? Let visible things become our teachers.” The a of the listener grew atteni the fri went on: — go up from the natural earth, as clouds go up from the earth of our minds; and even while we sit in sorrow for the beams that have faded from our paths, the sun is Sesehving Seve clouds in rain for refreshment and frui ess. Our hearts are watered in the days of sorrow, that they may bear good fruit when the sunshine comes again.” ULIC PRESS . “Tf it ever comes.” The despondent soul ; could not look beyond the clouds. “Have you heard of Mrs. Elford’s ‘trouble?’ asked the friend. “No.” There was a quick flash of interest -in the mournful face. “What of her?” “Her husband is dead.” ; “Oh no!” The lady clasped her hands in sud‘den surprise and pain at this intelligence. “The news came yesterday. He died on the Pacific coast.” “Captain Elford?” “Yes.” Sige f “Oh dear! ‘hat is trouble! And he has left her poor, without doubt.” “T fear as much.” ‘“Have you seen her?” “Yes, I called this morning.” “How is she?” : ‘Entirely prostrated by the blow.” “Poor Margaret!” ‘The tone of sympathy was genuine. “I must go to her in this affliction. I must try to speak some word of comfort.” She needs all the support her friends can give. It is her hour of darkness, and she is sorrowing as one without hope. The sun has withdrawn himself behind thick clonds, which are pouring down heavy upon her life. Yes, go-to her by all means, and tell her that, though her sky is dark to-day, and filled with cloud and storm, that the sun of God’s love is still shining as brightly as ever, and will, in the good time of him who is all-mercif ul, send down his beams upon her heart again.” It was an old and dear friend who had passed under the cloud of sorrow, and the doubting and despondent one, already half-forgetting her own pain, was pondering over words of consolation. “God is really nearer to us in affliction,” she said, as she sat holding the nerveless hand of Mrs. Elford, ‘‘than at any other time, though He may seem farthest off; for His infinite, divine pity, is moved with the tenderest compassion for the griefs of His children. Though Ilis face may be hidden from us, it is not the less a smiling face.” A sob and a long tremulous sigh werethe only answer. Tue Press.—The Woonstock, New Brunswick Sentinel furnishes the following able and sensible article: The press has long been characterized as the people,” and it is to the press that the oppressed look for assistance and relief. The local newspaper is the only channel through which our communites have intercourse with the world outside, and become acquainted with the changes, momentous or ordinary, which are taking place in the elements of humam society. The man withont having recourse to the newspapers is truly isolated from the world. Ina crowd he is alone and unacquainted with the various circumstances and influences which move the minds of tf crowd. He has no sympathy with the holy aspiration forliberty which causes oppressed and down-hearted nationalities to rise at the magic cry of freedom, and throw off the chain of oligarchies and despotism. Human progress to his mind presents no charms—he understands it not. The onward strides of physical, mechanical, or mental science, are as nothing to him. He travels on in the same old beaten track in which his fathers trod, knowing no other way to reach the unambitious goal—aliving. Such is the position of the man without the newspapers. The opposite we may regard as him who takes and reads them, for to his very dwelling spread before his eyes, is weekly brought an eptome of thetransactions in connection with each and all of these things transpiring in the world. He has the history of his time in summary, and asin panorama the events of the day pass before him, he is enbled to judge as to how his own country stands, as compared with others. He is reminded of those re“Into each life some rain must fall, shi ¢ hi *s > ~ ee I3 Some days must be dark and dreary.” which retard his country's progress and is urged to lend his voice and his influence in favor of the former. Are these advantages of the press appreciated properly? We fear not. Is any desire evinced to assist in making the local press more independent, more pure, 2? We fear not. Yet no response canie. The words of the comforter seemed as if spokento shutears. Notso, however. They entered, and like seed when first cast into the ground, gave no life-sign of their presence. But memory held them for the time of fructification. And'‘now it happened to the despondent and grieving one, who had refused to be comforted, yet tried to speak in consolation to another heart, that light seemed to come around her.— She did not see the sun, nor even a rift in the clouds with azure‘in the far distance. But it was not so dark in the chambers of ‘her soul. The pressure on her spirit that seemed at one time as if it would close her life in suffocation, was not so great. She could breathe deeper, and with even a sense of relief and satisfaction. “My poor friend!” she said, many times, as she thought of Mrs. Elford. And as her desire to bring relief to another heart grew stronger and stronger, her own consciousness of suffering diminished. Almost daily she visited her afflicted friend, into whose sad face a little light would come on her appearance; and although it faded instantly, the sign of pleasure at seeing a welcome countenance was too palpable for any mirtake as to its origin. She had really been helped and comforted, though she knew it not. When next her own friendly visitor called,she was not sitting in idleness, brooding over the irrevocable past; but really forgetful of the past in present thought of home duties with which her hands were busy. “Flow is it with you to-day?” said the friend,as she took her hand. “JT am not so much depressed m mind as I have been.” “Andif you keep on in this path of duty the weight which has been bearing you down will grow less and less burdensome; the clouds that mantle your sky thinner and thinner, until light breaks through, and disperses them altogether. But how is Mrs. Elford? I have not seen her for some time.” “More cheerful,” was the reply. “That is gratifying.” “She received a few days since a long and satisfactory letter—if I may use the word satisfactory in such a connection—about her husband, who had the most careful attendance and every comfort during his last illness. Unexpectedly, this letter brought her the intelligence that Capt. Elford left property to the value of nearly fifteen thousand dollars, the result of some trading adventures on the coast.” “Then ske is not left pestitute?” “No.” “Already there is a break in the clouds, showing a clear blue sky above them.” *Yes.” “And the days must come for her as well as for you, and for all whose sky has become dark and threatening, when the broad, bright sunbeams will flood the whole horizon again. What is the lesson that past experience teaches? Is it not the same in regard to the inner as to the outer world? There have been times of cloud and rain, and times of sunshine. And all these changes arefor the sake of fruit—the fruit of righteousness. Let us be mindful, my friend, of the lesson, and not keep too much out of the sunshine; lest, when we come to make up our sheaves in the harvest-time, there be found only husk instead of grain.” ne more effective? We do know, that in too many instances the disposition is shown ‘to make the newspaper a thing of convenience, without any reference to whetber the publisher is compensated for his trouble or for the exercise of his brains; instead of its being, as it should be, the first toberemembered whetheras regards the mere payment of the subscription price, or in tendering that consideration and courtesy which are due on all occasions. FERS Perry's Vicrory.—A monumentand statue were inaugurated at Cleveland, Ohio, on the recent anniversary return of Perry’s Lake victory, in honor of the brave man and glorious event. George Bancroft, the historian, was the orator of the day. Concerning the Victory, an exchange says: “It was at sunrise on the memorable tenth of September, that from his mooring in Putin-Bay, a harbor formed by the Bass Islands at the western end of the Lake, he descried the enemy’s fleet approaching. The Ameriican force consisted of nine vessels carrying fifty-four guns, the British of six vessels, of sixty-three guns. The latter was commanded by Barclay, who had seen service with Nelson, and had lost an arm at Trafalgar. The battle began at noon and continued to three o'clock. With what valor it was fought, . how Perry stood by bis vessel, the Lawrence, . till she was totally disabled, and 83 of her 103 men killed or wounded, how he pushed . off in his small boat, passed to the Niagara, jand then stvept down threugh the epemy’s fleet, raking them right and left with double shotted guns, till the British colors fell, it is not for us nowtorelate. It was at4o'clock that Perry wrote those celebrated words, — “WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY, AND THEY ARE Ours!” “Forty-one of the British were killed, and jninety-four wounded. Of the Americans, twenty-seven were killed, and ninety-six wounded. Says Mr. Calvert, this was the first American fleet that ever in line of battle encountered an enemy. The British fleet was the first since England had a navy, that had been captured.” ne Tue Great Vicrorta Bripge.—The tubu= lar bridge across the St. Lawrence, near Montreal, which has been in progress sinee 1854, is now about completed, at a cost of about 8,000,000. The structure is one of great magnificence, and has not been unjustly termed “the most gigantic work of science and enterprise on the habitab’e globe.” It contains twenty-five openings, each of which, with the exception of the center one—which is 330 feet—has a span of 242 feet. The total length of the bridge, including the embankments by which it is approached, is one mile and a half. The hight of roadway over center openings above the level of summer water, is 60 feet, and that of the abutments at each end, 36 feet. It contains, in round numbers, three million feet of solid masonry; ten million tons of iron, in tubes; two million of rivets, and one liundred and twenty acres of painting. The design of this noble structure is due to the celebrated British engineer, Robert Stevenson, of Newcastle-on-Tyne ; and by its completion, it perfects a continuous railroad route from Portland, Me., to Sarnia, C. W., on Lake Huron. _———— Sineunar Aritameticat Fact.—Any num} ber of figures you may wish to multiply by 5; will give the same result if divided by 2, a much quicker operation; but you must remember to annex a cypher to the answer, when there is no remainder; and when there is a remainder, whatever it may be, annex a 5 tothe answer. Multiply 464 by 5, and the answer will be 2320. Divide the same number by 2, and you have 232; and as there is no remainder, you add a cypher. Now take 359—multiply by 5; the answer is 1795; on dividing this by 2, there is 179, and a remainder. You therefore place a 5 at the end of the line, and the result is again 1795. A Goop Wire.—Near the mouth of Grand River, on the banks of Lake Michigan, there lives a farmer who, about six years ago, left his family in straitened circumstances, and went with the throng to California, to improve his fortunes. As he earned money, from time to time he sent home small sums, to render his family more comfortable. The wife, a good woman, iabored industriously in the meantime, keeping her family tegether and nearly supporting them by her labor. She took the money sent from California, and from year to year invested it in peach trees, which she had planted on her farm, andan orchard of several acres was the result of her economy and foresight. This orchard she kept in good condition, increasing it in size as she received means from her husband, at the same time, woman-like, not letting him know but that the money was all used as fast as it was received. to meet the family wants. Last season the husband came back without his pile, as most Californians of late years return. He came at the close of the peach season, and learned the good news that his faithful spouse had cleared over six thousand dollars from her peach crop that season.—Ann Arbor News. Tur Erernat Citry—The population of Rome at this time is 175,000, divided into 54 parishes, with 1,280 priests, 2,092 monks and members of religious orders, 1,698 nuns, and 547 ecclesiastical pupils. Exclusive of Jews, the number of inhabitants not acknowledging the Roman Church, is 412. There are 70 Cardinals composing the Sacred College, 6 of whom are Bishops, 50 Priests and 14 Deacons. Bayard Taylor says there are more schools in Rome, in proportion, than in New York. ~ A LITERARY gentleman of London claims that the word Whig was derived from the initials of the party motto, “We hope in God.’ FOR SALE.

The plume that danced above her brow— The gem that sparkled in her zone— The scarf of spangled leaf and bough Were laid aside—they mocked her now, ‘When desolate and lone. ‘How many gallant hearts she’d won! A reigning belle, she could not stir, But like the planets round the sun, Her suitors followed—all but one— And he the world to her! And she had lost him !—marvel not The lady’s eyes with tears were wet ; Though love by man is soon forgot, Tt'never yet was woman’s lot To love and to forget. ———— .-----+ @ LET US LIVE. ‘Let us live, for life is fleeting! Time is quickly hurrying on ; Let us hail the birth of pleasure, Welcoming the transient treasure Ere its little life-is gone. Let us live, for life is fleeting! Sweetest joys are soonest flown; ‘Let us revelin a palace ; ‘We may drink of sorrow’s chalice Ere the morrow’s sun be gone. Let us live, for time is ficeting! ‘Let us revel while we may ! ‘We’ve-no time to think of sorrow; We may drink her cup to-morrow; But to pleasure give to-day. Let us live, for life is fleeting! Banish every shade of gloom! Let us sing, till care reposes, ‘And at last with blooming roses Wreathe the portal of the tomb! a BLUE SKY SOMEWHERE. It was the remark of a child, consoling himself for the loss of a promised pleasure on a rainy afternoon, that there was “blue sky somewhere.” And the sapphire heavens,fiooded withsunshine, ‘on the next day made his faith a verity. The lesson is for you, and for all of us, reader; and we need it quite as much as the boy who sat looking out of the window upon a leaden sky and the fast-falling rain, and trying to find comfort in the thought that, far above the cloud and storm, the sun was shining in his undimmed splendor. “Into each life some rain must fall,” says the poet-teacher; and in the days that come ‘dark and dreary” we are apt to feel, in spite of experience and reason, that the brightness has passed from our lives forever. But it isnot so. Like travelers we rise, now upon mountain heights, and now descend into deeply shaded valleys; pass through open savannas, down upon which the Iden sunbeams fall; and anon are buried in lense forests, that seem stretching their interminable vistas to the very end of our journey.— We encounter all aspects of the heavens; have our mornings, our noondays, our evenings, and our nights with only the stars for guidance; our wild, contending storms, and our sunny, tranquil . atmospheres. Has it not been so with you, read er? And yet, when the sun goes down, or hides his face in mantling clouds, does not vour heart w faint, and your faith in blue sky somewhere” Comes feeble as the rays of an expiring lamp? The very children are our teachers! Between our inner and our outer worlds there is ing more than simple analogy; the relation bears the higher one of correspondence, even to minutest things; so that nature, with all its infinite varieties of aspects and changes, rep‘resenting interior aspects and changes, becomes our instructor. Our true poets rise into a perception of this, and give us lessons of wisdom that sink deeply into the heart, and become to us as lights in dim places, strength in weariness,and confidence in last results when the mind is trembling in doubt and fear. Not mere words ii rythmic order are the poet’s, when he says: “Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shinimg; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.” «If I could only believe that the clouds would $s away—that sunny days would come again— Pinight weep less,” was the language of one who sat in the darkness and sorrow of disappointment, asa friend and consoler offered her the pets lesson, that she might take it into her eart. “But I can see no rift in the clouds; no line of Hight along the dark horizon; no abatement of the fast-falling rain.” _ “We are sure that the rain will cease; that behind the clouds the sun is shining. We have the fullest confidence in returning sunbeams; and why? Because we know that clouds are ay earthly exhalations; that they do not rise in the heavens—that they can never reach t ptin, whose beams shine ever on with undiminfished splendor, and have power to disperse the densest vapors that drew their curtains behis aiank face. Now the world of mind, the world of nature, hasits sun, as the poet has so beautifully intimated. pen a sees by ight, and the heart is. refreshed and beautified vient flowers and verdure by its warmth. But at times this sun is hidden by clouds, and there are shadows in the mind and rain upon the heart.— The days are dark anddreary. Why? Whence are Pe clouds? Let visible things become our teachers.” The a of the listener grew atteni the fri went on: — go up from the natural earth, as clouds go up from the earth of our minds; and even while we sit in sorrow for the beams that have faded from our paths, the sun is Sesehving Seve clouds in rain for refreshment and frui ess. Our hearts are watered in the days of sorrow, that they may bear good fruit when the sunshine comes again.” ULIC PRESS . “Tf it ever comes.” The despondent soul ; could not look beyond the clouds. “Have you heard of Mrs. Elford’s ‘trouble?’ asked the friend. “No.” There was a quick flash of interest -in the mournful face. “What of her?” “Her husband is dead.” ; “Oh no!” The lady clasped her hands in sud‘den surprise and pain at this intelligence. “The news came yesterday. He died on the Pacific coast.” “Captain Elford?” “Yes.” Sige f “Oh dear! ‘hat is trouble! And he has left her poor, without doubt.” “T fear as much.” ‘“Have you seen her?” “Yes, I called this morning.” “How is she?” : ‘Entirely prostrated by the blow.” “Poor Margaret!” ‘The tone of sympathy was genuine. “I must go to her in this affliction. I must try to speak some word of comfort.” She needs all the support her friends can give. It is her hour of darkness, and she is sorrowing as one without hope. The sun has withdrawn himself behind thick clonds, which are pouring down heavy upon her life. Yes, go-to her by all means, and tell her that, though her sky is dark to-day, and filled with cloud and storm, that the sun of God’s love is still shining as brightly as ever, and will, in the good time of him who is all-mercif ul, send down his beams upon her heart again.” It was an old and dear friend who had passed under the cloud of sorrow, and the doubting and despondent one, already half-forgetting her own pain, was pondering over words of consolation. “God is really nearer to us in affliction,” she said, as she sat holding the nerveless hand of Mrs. Elford, ‘‘than at any other time, though He may seem farthest off; for His infinite, divine pity, is moved with the tenderest compassion for the griefs of His children. Though Ilis face may be hidden from us, it is not the less a smiling face.” A sob and a long tremulous sigh werethe only answer. Tue Press.—The Woonstock, New Brunswick Sentinel furnishes the following able and sensible article: The press has long been characterized as the people,” and it is to the press that the oppressed look for assistance and relief. The local newspaper is the only channel through which our communites have intercourse with the world outside, and become acquainted with the changes, momentous or ordinary, which are taking place in the elements of humam society. The man withont having recourse to the newspapers is truly isolated from the world. Ina crowd he is alone and unacquainted with the various circumstances and influences which move the minds of tf crowd. He has no sympathy with the holy aspiration forliberty which causes oppressed and down-hearted nationalities to rise at the magic cry of freedom, and throw off the chain of oligarchies and despotism. Human progress to his mind presents no charms—he understands it not. The onward strides of physical, mechanical, or mental science, are as nothing to him. He travels on in the same old beaten track in which his fathers trod, knowing no other way to reach the unambitious goal—aliving. Such is the position of the man without the newspapers. The opposite we may regard as him who takes and reads them, for to his very dwelling spread before his eyes, is weekly brought an eptome of thetransactions in connection with each and all of these things transpiring in the world. He has the history of his time in summary, and asin panorama the events of the day pass before him, he is enbled to judge as to how his own country stands, as compared with others. He is reminded of those re“Into each life some rain must fall, shi ¢ hi *s > ~ ee I3 Some days must be dark and dreary.” which retard his country's progress and is urged to lend his voice and his influence in favor of the former. Are these advantages of the press appreciated properly? We fear not. Is any desire evinced to assist in making the local press more independent, more pure, 2? We fear not. Yet no response canie. The words of the comforter seemed as if spokento shutears. Notso, however. They entered, and like seed when first cast into the ground, gave no life-sign of their presence. But memory held them for the time of fructification. And'‘now it happened to the despondent and grieving one, who had refused to be comforted, yet tried to speak in consolation to another heart, that light seemed to come around her.— She did not see the sun, nor even a rift in the clouds with azure‘in the far distance. But it was not so dark in the chambers of ‘her soul. The pressure on her spirit that seemed at one time as if it would close her life in suffocation, was not so great. She could breathe deeper, and with even a sense of relief and satisfaction. “My poor friend!” she said, many times, as she thought of Mrs. Elford. And as her desire to bring relief to another heart grew stronger and stronger, her own consciousness of suffering diminished. Almost daily she visited her afflicted friend, into whose sad face a little light would come on her appearance; and although it faded instantly, the sign of pleasure at seeing a welcome countenance was too palpable for any mirtake as to its origin. She had really been helped and comforted, though she knew it not. When next her own friendly visitor called,she was not sitting in idleness, brooding over the irrevocable past; but really forgetful of the past in present thought of home duties with which her hands were busy. “Flow is it with you to-day?” said the friend,as she took her hand. “JT am not so much depressed m mind as I have been.” “Andif you keep on in this path of duty the weight which has been bearing you down will grow less and less burdensome; the clouds that mantle your sky thinner and thinner, until light breaks through, and disperses them altogether. But how is Mrs. Elford? I have not seen her for some time.” “More cheerful,” was the reply. “That is gratifying.” “She received a few days since a long and satisfactory letter—if I may use the word satisfactory in such a connection—about her husband, who had the most careful attendance and every comfort during his last illness. Unexpectedly, this letter brought her the intelligence that Capt. Elford left property to the value of nearly fifteen thousand dollars, the result of some trading adventures on the coast.” “Then ske is not left pestitute?” “No.” “Already there is a break in the clouds, showing a clear blue sky above them.” *Yes.” “And the days must come for her as well as for you, and for all whose sky has become dark and threatening, when the broad, bright sunbeams will flood the whole horizon again. What is the lesson that past experience teaches? Is it not the same in regard to the inner as to the outer world? There have been times of cloud and rain, and times of sunshine. And all these changes arefor the sake of fruit—the fruit of righteousness. Let us be mindful, my friend, of the lesson, and not keep too much out of the sunshine; lest, when we come to make up our sheaves in the harvest-time, there be found only husk instead of grain.” ne more effective? We do know, that in too many instances the disposition is shown ‘to make the newspaper a thing of convenience, without any reference to whetber the publisher is compensated for his trouble or for the exercise of his brains; instead of its being, as it should be, the first toberemembered whetheras regards the mere payment of the subscription price, or in tendering that consideration and courtesy which are due on all occasions. FERS Perry's Vicrory.—A monumentand statue were inaugurated at Cleveland, Ohio, on the recent anniversary return of Perry’s Lake victory, in honor of the brave man and glorious event. George Bancroft, the historian, was the orator of the day. Concerning the Victory, an exchange says: “It was at sunrise on the memorable tenth of September, that from his mooring in Putin-Bay, a harbor formed by the Bass Islands at the western end of the Lake, he descried the enemy’s fleet approaching. The Ameriican force consisted of nine vessels carrying fifty-four guns, the British of six vessels, of sixty-three guns. The latter was commanded by Barclay, who had seen service with Nelson, and had lost an arm at Trafalgar. The battle began at noon and continued to three o'clock. With what valor it was fought, . how Perry stood by bis vessel, the Lawrence, . till she was totally disabled, and 83 of her 103 men killed or wounded, how he pushed . off in his small boat, passed to the Niagara, jand then stvept down threugh the epemy’s fleet, raking them right and left with double shotted guns, till the British colors fell, it is not for us nowtorelate. It was at4o'clock that Perry wrote those celebrated words, — “WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY, AND THEY ARE Ours!” “Forty-one of the British were killed, and jninety-four wounded. Of the Americans, twenty-seven were killed, and ninety-six wounded. Says Mr. Calvert, this was the first American fleet that ever in line of battle encountered an enemy. The British fleet was the first since England had a navy, that had been captured.” ne Tue Great Vicrorta Bripge.—The tubu= lar bridge across the St. Lawrence, near Montreal, which has been in progress sinee 1854, is now about completed, at a cost of about 8,000,000. The structure is one of great magnificence, and has not been unjustly termed “the most gigantic work of science and enterprise on the habitab’e globe.” It contains twenty-five openings, each of which, with the exception of the center one—which is 330 feet—has a span of 242 feet. The total length of the bridge, including the embankments by which it is approached, is one mile and a half. The hight of roadway over center openings above the level of summer water, is 60 feet, and that of the abutments at each end, 36 feet. It contains, in round numbers, three million feet of solid masonry; ten million tons of iron, in tubes; two million of rivets, and one liundred and twenty acres of painting. The design of this noble structure is due to the celebrated British engineer, Robert Stevenson, of Newcastle-on-Tyne ; and by its completion, it perfects a continuous railroad route from Portland, Me., to Sarnia, C. W., on Lake Huron. _———— Sineunar Aritameticat Fact.—Any num} ber of figures you may wish to multiply by 5; will give the same result if divided by 2, a much quicker operation; but you must remember to annex a cypher to the answer, when there is no remainder; and when there is a remainder, whatever it may be, annex a 5 tothe answer. Multiply 464 by 5, and the answer will be 2320. Divide the same number by 2, and you have 232; and as there is no remainder, you add a cypher. Now take 359—multiply by 5; the answer is 1795; on dividing this by 2, there is 179, and a remainder. You therefore place a 5 at the end of the line, and the result is again 1795. A Goop Wire.—Near the mouth of Grand River, on the banks of Lake Michigan, there lives a farmer who, about six years ago, left his family in straitened circumstances, and went with the throng to California, to improve his fortunes. As he earned money, from time to time he sent home small sums, to render his family more comfortable. The wife, a good woman, iabored industriously in the meantime, keeping her family tegether and nearly supporting them by her labor. She took the money sent from California, and from year to year invested it in peach trees, which she had planted on her farm, andan orchard of several acres was the result of her economy and foresight. This orchard she kept in good condition, increasing it in size as she received means from her husband, at the same time, woman-like, not letting him know but that the money was all used as fast as it was received. to meet the family wants. Last season the husband came back without his pile, as most Californians of late years return. He came at the close of the peach season, and learned the good news that his faithful spouse had cleared over six thousand dollars from her peach crop that season.—Ann Arbor News. Tur Erernat Citry—The population of Rome at this time is 175,000, divided into 54 parishes, with 1,280 priests, 2,092 monks and members of religious orders, 1,698 nuns, and 547 ecclesiastical pupils. Exclusive of Jews, the number of inhabitants not acknowledging the Roman Church, is 412. There are 70 Cardinals composing the Sacred College, 6 of whom are Bishops, 50 Priests and 14 Deacons.
