'JLord Keep 3Iy 3Ieraory Green."
BV CHARLES DICKENS.
Lord, keep my memory green,
Whatever intervene,
How rough soe'er life's voyage may prove to
me ;
I would not lose remembrance of the good,
Nor shrink from thoughts of ills long since
withstood
Lord, keep my memory green !
Lord, keep my memory green
The boisterous and serene,
That which hath caused a tear or forced a
smile.
Let both their true reality impart,
And fix their record deeply in my heart
Lord, keep my memory green!
Lord, keep my memory green
Through life's conflicting scene!
But should the hand of time obliterate
Aught from my mind, and some chance pages
blot,
Let friends and benefits be ne'er forgot
Lord, keep my memory green !

1 rtr. Ti Mailj from Newman's Mills, Car-
dull scholar, notwithstanding the pretty
stories told about his precocity ; but he
was, what was better, patient and perseve-
rant, and it was by that means, and by his
carefully cultivated inventiveness, that he
was enabled to perlect ins steam-engine.
"What Dr. Arnold said of boys is equal
ly true of men that the difference be
tween one boy and another consists not so
much in talent as in energy. Given per
severance, and energy soon becomes ha
bitual. Trovided the dunce has persis
tency and application, he will inevitably
head the cleverer fellow without these
dualities'. Slow but sure, wins the race.
It is perseverance that explains how the
position of boys at school is so often re
versed in real life ; and it is curious to
note how some who were then so clever
have since become so common-place;
whilst others, dull bovs, of whom nothing
was expected, slow in their faculties, but
sure in their pace, have assumed the po
sition of leaders to men. lhe author oi
this book, when a boy, stood in the same
class with one of the greatest of dunces.
One teacher after another had tried his
skill upon him and failed. Corporeal
punishment, the fool's cap, coaxing and
earnest entreaty proved alike fruitless.
Sometimes the experiment was tried ot
putting him at the top of his class, and it
was curious to note the rapidity with which
he gravitated to the inevitable bottom luce
a lump of lead passing through quicksil
ver. The youth was given up by many
teachers as an incorrigible dunce one of
them pronouncing him to be "a stupen
dous booby." 1 et, slow though he was,
this dunce had a dull encrjrv and a sort of
beefy tenacity of purpose, which grew
with his muscles and his mauhooa ; ana,
Usefulness of Diamonds.
Many persons suppose that diamonds
are used only in jewelry for rings and
articles of personal adornment and that
they arc really ot no essential value what
ever, in the practical arts, lhis is a mis
taken notion j they are used for a great
number of purposes in the arts, lhus
for cutting the glass of our windows into
proper size, no other substance can equal
it, and it is exclusively used for this pur
pose. A natural edge, or point, as it is
called, is used for this work, and thous
ands of such are annually required in our
lass factories. Diamond points are also
employed for engraving on cornelians, am
ethysts aud other brilliants, and for the
finer cutting of cameos, and seals.
Being very hard, the diamond is also
used in chronometers ior the steps ol piv
ots : and as it possesses high refractive
with inferior dispersive power and little
longitudinal aberration, it has been sue
cessful employed for the small deep len-
sesot microscopes, lhe niagnnying pow

The rousb diamond is caiicu oort, an
the points used for glass-cutting are frag

arenecessary inbelectiug the cutting points,
because the diamond that cuts the glass
most successfully, has the cutting edges
of the crystal placed exactlyat right an
gles to each other, and passing through
a point or intersection made by the crossing
of the edsres.
A. polished diamond, however perfect

surface of the glass, splinters it with the
slightest pressure; but with the natural

A Good Stouy. In the village of
TV lived a man who had once been judge
of the county, and was known all over it
y the name of Judge L . He Kept a
store and saw-mill, and was always sure to
mve the best of a bargain on his side, by
which means he had gained an ample com
petency, and some did not hesitate to call
him the ''bujsest rascal in the world.
He was very conceited withal, and used
to brag of his business capacity when any
one was near to listen. One rainy day, as
quite a number of men were seated around
the stove in the store, he began as usual,
to tell of his great bargains, and finally
wound up with

did me.
