And thee knows what is said about self-preservation beinT; the first law of nature." . " And get hung." I don't think they'll hang thee," coolly returned the Quaker. " Thee can go over to his plaet., and get him alone by thyself. Or. thee can meet him in sotric:liY-road. Nobody need =ee thee, amf'when he's dead, I think people will be more glad than sorry." " Do you think I'm no better than a murderer? I, Paul - Levering, stain my hands with blood !" "Who said anything about stain ing thy hands with blood?" said the Quaker, mildly - . Why, you;'' " Thee's ; mistaken, I never used the word blood." •• But you mean it. You-suggest ed murder." " No, friend Levering, I advised thee to kill thy enemy, lest some day he should kill thee."

"Lve killed a good many in my time, and no stain of blood can be found on my garments. My way of killing enemies is to make them friends. Kill neighbor Hardy :with kindness, and thce'll have iio more trouble with him." A sudden light gleamed .over Mr: Levering's face, as if a cloud had passed. " A new way to kill people." •"I'he surest way io•kill enemies, as thee will find if thee'll only try." Let me see: how shall we go about it ?" said Paul Levering, taken at once with the idea. "If thee has the.will, friend Lever ing. it will not be long before thee finds the way." • ti , • And so 'it proved'. Not two hours afterward, as Mr. Levering was driv ißto the village, he found Dick 'llar d with a stalWil cart-load of stone. Ile was whipping: his horse and; swearing at hint passionately, but to nu purpose. The cart wheels were baried half way to the axles in stiff mud, and defied the strength of one horse to move them. On seeing Mr. Levering, Dick stopped pulling and swearing, and getting on the cart commenced pitching the stones off.; on to the li.le of the road. " Hold on a bit, •friend Hardy," 'said Levering in a pleasant voice.as he dismounted and unhitched his . horse. Put Dick pretended not to hear, kept on pitching off the stones. llo.d on, I say, and don't give yourself all that trouble," added Mr. Levering, speaking in a louder voice, liqt in kind and cheerful tones. '• Two 'horses are. better than one { . With Charley's help we'll soon have the wheels on, solid ground again." Understanding now what vas meant., Dick's hands felralmost nerve less by his side. ".There," said Lev erinff. as he put his horse in, front of Dtt.fes and made the traces fast. One . pull and the thing is don." Before Dick could get down from the cart it was out of the mud hole, and with ; out saying a word :pore Levering unfastened hjshorse• from the front of Dick's animal 'and hitching up }and again, rode on. I - 011 the next day Mr. Levering saw Dick' Hardy in the act of strengthening a bit of weak 'fence through which Mr. Levering's cattle had broken once or twice, thus re moving temptation, and saving the cattle from being eaten and set on by dogs. " Thee's given him a bad wound, friend Levering," said the Quaker, onset ing information of the two in cidents just Mentioned, " And it will be thy 'own Unit if thee does not kill him." Not long afterward, in the face of to approaching storm, while Pik Hardy was hurrying to get in' some clover hay, his wagon broke down. Mr. Levering, who' saw from one of his fields the accident, and under stood what its loss might occasion, hitched up his own wagon, and sent it over to Dick's assistance. With a storm coining on that might last for days and ruin from two to three tons of hay, Dick could not decline the oiler, and though it went against the grain to accept a favor froth the man he had hated for yeam, and injured in so many ways. On the following morning, Mr. Levering had a visit-from -Dick Har dy. It was raining fast. " I've come." said Dick, stammering and confused, and looking down on the ground instead of into Mr. Lever ing's face, "t ) pay you fur the use of your team yesterday, in getting in thy hay. I shoidd have lost it if you hadn't sent your wagon, and it is only right that I should pay you for the use of it." " I should .be very' sorry,"-ans4er ed Paul Levering cheerily, if I • --- )-- I I t t , e . „,••• • , • REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER. couldn't do's neighborly turn with out pay. You are quite welcome, friend Hitrdy, to the wagon. I am more than paid knowing that you saved that nice field of clover. How much did you get?" " About three-tons. But Mr. Lev ering, I must—" "Not a word, if you don't want to offend me," interimpted_Levering. I trust there isn't a Mats •arOund here that would not do as much for a neighbor in time of need. Still, if you feel embarrassed—if. you don't wish to stand my debtor, pay me in good will." Dick Hardy raised his eyes slow ly, and looking in a strange, wonder ing way at Mr. Levering, said : "Shall we not be friends ?" Mr. Lev ering put ont his hand. HanlY grasp ed it with a quick, short' grip, and then, as if to hide his feelings that were ;Jecoming too strong, dropped it, and went off hastily. " - Thee's killed him ?" said the Quaker, on his meeting with Lever ing; "thy enemy is dead ?" "Slain by kindness,". answered : Paul Levering, "which you suppiled." -" No, thee took it from God's ar mory, where 'all men may equip themselves without charge, and be come invincible," replied the Quaker. " And I trust, or thy peace and safe ty, thee will never use any Other weapons in fighting with my neigh bors.. They are sure to kill." • The science of electricity, although already productive of many signal blessings to•mankind, can hardly be said to have yet advanced far beyond s infancy. went mystery to -those who have studied it diligently, while from me t - time novel manifestations of its powefs and properties excite afresh the wonder and admiration of the multitude. The .most recent revelation of its adaptability to civilized needs is the telephone. ; The telegraph flashed in telligence to distant places by repre senting there, by signs or written characters, the mardpulatioris of an operator at „the starting point; but the telephone does the same by re producing at one end of the line the sounds, vocal and instrumental, made at the other. So accurately are these transmitted that a distant speaker can be recognized by the accent and tone of. the voice almost, as easily as if standing beside the listener. . Dar- ing the first public exhibition, of the instrument, a ballad sung by a young lady at one end of the line, in Bos ton, delighted an audience six mileS away at the other end in Malden. At asstill later trial, " Auld Lang Syne " and " Yankee Doodle," played upon an organ at one end of the line in the "llub," were greetA eighteen miles away, at the other end in Sa lem, as enthusiastically as either was ever hailed by a fuddled Scot or pat riotic New-Englander. Still more recently several other tests, over longer distances and under more se vere, conditions, hare even more clearly demonstrated the wonderful capabilities of - the instrument. Nor are 'loud utterances the only ones • , that can be transmitted by it; evgn low tones and:ffhiSPers are said to be audible over the wins with equal distinctness. The volume of sound, at the point where the message is de liveied, is eqiial to that at the end whence it is sent, so that a. spee'cli made , at the latter is' heard at the former, over an area equal to that across-which the -voice would pene trate in Ile immediate_ neighborhOod of the sPeriker. . The present form of the instrument by means of which these -marvelous acoustic effects are produced, consists of S. very powerful compound mag net, formed by the junction of a num ber of single magnets. This com pound corn' can be much more strongly magnetized than one made from x single bar, pf metal, - while the process of magnetizing adopted in such cases produces a permanent magnetic effect. To the poles of this are attached coils ,of ordinary insu lated telegraph'wire, the spiral ar-ii riingement of which intensities elec tric action. In frOut of the poles thus surrounded is' placed a thin sheet, or diaphram of iron, and a mouth-piee r e to concentrate the sound upon this substantially completes the device. It has long been known to scientists that, the motion of iron or steel in front of the poles of a mag net develops, or in technical phrase, induces, electricity in the coils en circling them. When the human voice or the tones of an instrument set the diaphram vibrat;ng, electric undulations are induced in the coils environing the magnet, precisely cor responding to the atmospheric undu lations ' prodaced by the sounds. TheSe coils arc connected with the telegraph wire,. and along this the e undulations are transmitted to the distant station, where, after passing, through the coils of an instrument precisely similar in form,' they again set this second diaphram vibrating, which in its turn produces atmos pheric undulations as audible as those to they owe their origin. • The essential requisites arc an ex act similarity between the instru ments at each end of the - line, and the complete insulation of the con necting wire. The voltaic - battery, indispensible to the telegraph, is en tirely dispensed with in the telephone, as the electric current induced by the apparatus is amply_ sufficient to con vey messages oVerthe distances hith erto tried. Whether despatches can thus be sent to remote points, tithe and experiments can alone decide ; but tliere is every likelihood that the difficulties in this regard already overcome in telegraphing will be also obviated in telephoning. • Progress owes this stride in nil: vance to the ingenuity, thought and labor of .Professor A. Graham 1311, who is already honorably known in connection with`an improved method• of teaching the dear and dumb. Should the promises of usefulness, held out by his present invention be fulfilled, his name will long hold an honorable place among the benefac tors of mankind.

Would you not like to hear about it? • To us it has proved a most in teresting discovery.., A half-hones ride 'by rail from Stuttgart and you'are here. It is a pleasant little valley bounded on the north by sloping vineyards; and on the south by fruitful hills. The nanie of the village is Kornthal. After a winter's residence "in the smile of Germany," as some writer calls Stuttgart, we came thither, be cause we heard that the schools were good, the air .pure, and the living cheap; all of which is true.: • „.:MeanWhile, we have been making• a study of 'these curious people, whoSe manners and ways of-living seem much_ more in keeping with: apostolic times than with the noisy present, so full ;of Centennial doings, Washington developments, and start ling failures. Searching old records, -and briding to light bits of historical information, are, however, the order of the day; and so we have been go ing back to -glean . 40 ; we could; , concerning the history - or the settle ment of this little_eorl'inunity which was found&l in 1819. It is so-full of interest, that it would be quite im-. ..possible in the limits of .one letter to • do it justice. , A band of religious enthusiast's came here to secure an asylum against the encroachments of .kinsound doe, trine, which towards the close of the last century, had. begun . to under mine, as they thought, tle . faith of their forefathers. Ration:distil . 'had indeed, inyad - ed the hitherto faithful Chtirch of Wurtemberg and pene trated into the Consistory. The new. Liturgy and Hymn-book, "cut down," as the venerable body put it, " to suit the requirements of modern culture," these sturdy defenders of the faith refused to adopt. They were inspired by a religious genius, named Michael Hahn, and their lode , of laws was drawn up by their founder, Gottlieb Wilhelm Hoffmann, aided by an "Advisory Council." It consisted of thirty. articles of , civil and religious faith. • 4. After some delay, these articles were duly sealed and signed by King William of Wurtemberg. Thousands of the so-called " Pfetists," had al ready left the country on account of the faith, emigrating to Southern Russia, where they had established numerous.flourishing colonies. There fore the king felt the need of propi tiating those who might otherwise, he feared, become disaffected, and who were among his most loyal sub jects. One ; )of the wag,ons prepared for this journey to Russia, was known for a long time in Kornthal as .the "Jerusalem coach." Before the year 1819 Kornthal„ was a freehold, consisting of eight hundred and thirty-six acres of land, a castle, two tenant-honSes and six farm houses. It'was owned by'Count von Gorlitz, grand steward of the Wurteruherg CoUrt, who sold it after some reluctance for- 150,000 guldens. In a letter which accompanied the sale, he says : "qt, costs me a great struggle to resign an estate to ‘shich I am attached by the dearest tecol lections. of life. But your, ; designs for wiShing, to purehase thiA inheritance of my forefathers, are so worthy, that I feel unwilling to prove a bin drance to you in Carrying out yotie plans; and I hope that a blessing will rest upon your effort's." The good Count did: not " hopq against hope," for a blessing has deed attended their labors. In ISO, a grand,' semi-centennial occurred here,. of which I lia3,~'c heard many a glowing account. At that time the history of the little community was rehearsed before five thousand peb -ple. "It was related how, from the beginning, 'first a church, then substantialdwelling housesandschool buildings" Came to be erected. There are now at least two hundred homes. and (including two orphanages) seven school houses; while the inhabitants number about fifteen . hundred. Dur ing all this period of fifty years, not -a single fire, not a single-criminal ease, not , a bankruptcy occurred. Meariwhilethe strictest morality pre vailed. The first step towards set tling was the laying of the :corner stone of the church. This ceremony occurred in July. I - 819, and in No vember of the same year the church was dedicated. During, the short in tervenink, Period, services were liebri either in the castle (now the Gast-1 Haus or inn) or in the open air. The church is on the left of the Gast,L Ilaus.;4e It is of course , the central point of interest.'

Remaining'externally within the pale of the national church, they resorted to these private gather ings as a means of making up for the deficiency in the public. services. These meetings are called "Stunden." They arc frequented tq the present day by . sixty or seventy thousand per4on4 in Wurtemherg. Not only are they a source of blessing, to thiiu: sands, but they are the bulwark of evangelical tryth throughout the kingdom. '4 -- Michael Hahn was a deep thinker, 'after the manner of Jacob Bohm-. He was the son of a wealthy peapot, at Aldorf near Boblingen. From earliest childhood he was subject to deep religiouS impressions.

The prograinmei as submitted to theisbare.andbend bblciers seems to have been -accept. ed, as dealing:fairly with all the par ties interested, and, therefore, the; announcement that Ito:titters of nearly or quite one-half o the bonds, on which there has been adefault of in tereSt, have given assent to the provisions of the plan for reconstruc tion, may be taken as evidence of the speedy putting this companyi- in its reorganized state. on its , feet. To make the reorganized company a success, it is acknowledged that a large amount of money must' be ex pended on its line of roads and in new equipment, and to secure this, in addition to the moneys derived from funding the coupons, an assess ment of six dollars per shale has been inserted as part of the plan of . reconstruction. If this assessment is paid on the total share capital, it will give a fund of abeut $5,000,000. The largest amount of money that can be secured from all sources for the improvement of the line, • will barely suffice to place the company in a good way to make money, and thereby in time secure a road and equipment fully equal to its rivals. The merchants and ,capitalists of the City of New York do "not seem to appreciate how -Much their inter ests depend on the condition. of the Erie Railway Company ;_ nor what' immense advantage and profits-may be secured to them if that company is enabled to put As tine in capital order, lay its third rail, get good equipment, and generally be placed in a condition where it can perform its services at as low rates ofitcost as any other line.

' The control of the company, it is acknowledged, his passed from ques tidnable hands into those of men of high character and true ability, and• there is noH . feasoti left why this com pany should not be abundantly taken care of. The business men, proper ty holders, and capitalists of ;New York city should understand.- that every ton of freight antievery pas senger that is carried over the other lines-, to and from the -city of New -York, is just so much added to the ability of those.compaides to aid the of -Bos•on,; Philadelphia and Baltimore, and so muait taken from the ability of the Erie Company to render its best service to tile city of New York. . It is astonishind . that, - with so much written; printed, end talked ai)out the loss of , commerce to the city- of New York, the eyes of its Cheap Transportation SOciety,.with its many members, hay.e not seen in the Erie Railway the best and only chance to realize, as nearly as possi ble, their wishes. The New YOrk papers are quite full of plans for reducing cost of grain, etc., in their harbor. Yet they .ve not discovered that if the Erie Railway Company was put in prim order, with narrow gauge and other required facilities on its line, that. it would pay to place on its Long ItOck property storage houses, grain eleva tors, and all the required machinery t(ireduce'the cost of handling. grain, etc., to as l'ow figures a is now done in the barb Ors of _Philadelphia and Baltimore. 1. • This subject is recommended 'to the consideration of the people: of New York city.
