And battles won,
And h e will b e

Through future time
For deeds sublime.

The new born year,
The snow that falls
From the gray walls
Of the thick clouds,
Is not for shrouds
For tbo days Add,
Or the days d?ad.

Bent down to cheer -The

Sweet bells aloft,
Ring the, true obi mo
Of the good time,

A Curious Fuul.
Hands of musio aro borbid lea to
play ou most of the large Lvidgos of
the world, A Constant succession
of sound waves, rspociuliy such as
como from tho playing of a baud, will
excito tho wires to vibration. At
first tho vibrations are very slight,
but boou they will iucroabo as tho
sound waves continue to como. The
priuoiplo rouju why haul are not
allowed to play when crossluc
bridgos the suspension bridgo at
Niagara for iustunca is that if fol
lowed by procimsious of any kind
they will koop stop with tho music,
and this rognlur-sto) Would cause
the wires to vibrato. At suspension
btidgos military companies aro not
allowed to march across iu regular
steps, bnt break ranks. Tho regu
lar trotting gait of a largo dog
across a suspousiou bridgo is more
dungorous to tbo briJge thia a
heavily -loaded wagon drawn by a
team of largo horses.
TLo first ingredient in conversa
tion is truth 1 the next, good souse;
the third, good humor 1 the fourth,
