The use of the term "horse•powei is very common ; yet few, except good mechanics and engineers, attach a defin ite meaning to it, but regard it as indi cating, loosely, about the power which one horse could exert. It is, however, when used in the sense nuder considers- tion, as definite as possible, and means thp power required to lift 33.000 pounds avoirdupois one foot high in one min- A horse h'tzhed to the end of a rope oy,e,r asulley one foot in diameter placed over a deep well, traveling at the rate of about 2f miles per hoer or 220 feet per draw - UP 150 lbs. the same distance he travels. The force thusex erted is called, in mechanics, "horse power," it being an approximation to the average amount of continuous power it is fair to demand of a strong horse. If we multiply the weight raised (160 pounds) by the number of feet it was moved per minute (220), the product will be the number of pounds which the same power would raise one foot high in the same length ot time (33,000 pounds ). The dynamometer' is an instrument made for measuring power, particularly' that exerted in drawing. Those used for testing the draft of agricultural im plements are simply very strong spring balances, or spring steelyards, graduated to indicate the power required to raise• any weight, within reasonable limit, at the rate of 2 miles per hour. When we apply the dynamometer in ascertain ing the draught of machines, if the index indicates 150 pounds, it is shown that the horse is required to draw just as hard as he would do if raising 150 pounds out of .a well with a rope over - a pulley one foot in diameter at the rate oft 4. miles per hour, and so for other weights. The velocity at which a tea© moves is to'be consiilerecl, as well matte weight to be raised, or the load to be drawn. lithe horse travels faster than 2.4- miles per hour, while raising 150 pounds out of a well, he exerts more than-one-horse power. If he walks slower than this, he does not exert a force equal to one-horse power. • It ascertaining the draught of a plow, or mower or reaper, by drawing faster than 2i miles per hour, the dynamome ter would indicate more than the correct . draught ; and, by driving slower . , the . , draught would appear to be leas thatt it really is. In testing the draft of -ma• chines a team should always move at the rate of 2 miles per hour; or 220 feet per minute, which is the universally accepted rate with , reference. to which dynamometers are graduated, and—in easy one to which to approximate• in driving with almost any kind of . teem.— Portland Price Current. lir "Job printing 1" exclaimed au old woman the' other — day, as, she peeped over her Spectacles at the' advertising pa - Pro - 1w country - paper.

For "2 - he ✓lfarieiiain. On the Temperance power of les' or 'No.' There is in human life that which an swers to defiles in mountains. The pass of Thermopbylae will be for ever -mem. orable as the place where a few thousand determined men kept at bay for days two millions of. Persians; and those feW thousand would have keptat•those two millions forever had cot treachery re vealed the secret to the Persians of a path over the mountain. Those few said "No " and they made good their no. Difficulties almost always abridge themselves to one narrow pass, which, if you can hold, or go through, saves you. In battles there is a key point, the pos session of which secures the victory. In moral contests it is the same way, defeat or victory usually hangs upon holding or forcing one point. That point is almost always held or lost by a "Yes" or a "No." " Yes " and "No " are short words, but it takes little to bar a defile. If the walls of duty rise up on both sides of you, a simple '"yes" or "no" will hold the passage way. Let us suppose the case -of a young'man nur tured in the bosom of a holy social love. At length he goes abroad to do for him self in the world. he meets the good and evil disposed. He is invited to take a drink of liqu Jr. The counsel and teach ings, and prayers of his early home rise up on the right and left of his soul, Sa tan can make uo flank Movement upon him. He is assaulted squarely on the front. The contest is reduced to a yes or a no. The "yes" opens the passage and the enemy, disguised as , a friend, marches on him. The "No" is a bar rier which cannot be battered down. Behind his "No" he can hold the ene my at bay forever. Many an individual has fallen - because he would not say'No, many an individual has stood, and stood like a rock because be could and did say No. Those with whom it is difficult to say "No," find it also difficult to say "Yes," when "Yes" should be said as determ inedly as at other times "No" should be said. The parties here cross .ene. another. Those who cannot say "No" when "No" should be said, will not be able to say "Yes" when "Yes" should be said, and those who can say "No," when "No" should be said, will say yes when yes should be said. Take the feeble one who cannot say No when .the glass is tendered, and he will not be able, to say yes when the pledge is pre sented, and on the other hand thoSe who can say no to the glass, can say no to other vices, and yes to the pledge and other roads to virtue. The power to will for right in one case helps to will aright io all other cases. No to every . vice means yes - to every virtue, and yes to every rice means no to virtue. There are somethings which should not be reasoned upon. First truths are beyond reason, they help reason, but reason cannot help them. The Mathe matics have their first truths, Religion has its first truths, and Sanitary Science has its first truths too, one of these is that fiery fluids are only deleterious to the system, and all solicitations to-par take of them in any degree or under any circumstances should be met with a de cided "no:"''' Sometimes fhe saying of yes or no is matter of simile pluck, sometimes there is as mach codiage in saying a word as there is in planting a blow, the truth is that a word well put at the right time is a blow which sends the enemy, of all good to the other side of the ring and net unfrequently rendere : him incapable orcoMirig to - time. I dislike battles of the fist, but own to a hearty apprecia tion:of battles of the heart, and when:l hear,a prompt decided No- when the case is for vice, I feel.

There was a man who, when the stars were complaisant below, used to rig up & telescope : wherewith to study astrono my at a sixpence a squint. One night as he was getting under way, .I saw two Irish gentlemen: taking observations of his movements. Both were policemen. "Jemie," said one, "what in the world is , yon fellow after with his ma chinery ?" , "Whist, ye spalpeen," whispered the other, "and sure can't you see that, it's an air-gun cannon that he's got. He's shooting stars, he is." " Hadn't we better be gettin' out ov the way thin 7" inquired his friend. "Shure and it's not us," was the an swer, "didn't ye ever hear of shooting stars ?" By this time the telescope man bad arranged his instrument and squinted through it at the stars. The policemen gazed up likewise in wonder. Just then by an odd chance, a large meteor shot down the sky. Bedad, he hit it—he's fetched it down," cried both the Paddle's in one breath. Shure and that's the greatest shoutin' I ever saw in my life l" But a sense of duty prevailed and one of them at once rudely accosted the man of science. - " Ye'll jilt stop that now misther, ev ye please. The night is dark enough now, plinty, and if you go on shootin , stars at that rate, we'll not find our way about the strate, shore." And the telescope man had to pack up and be off. HOLLOW HEARTED SENTIKENTALISM.- The following incident shows the differ ence between ,practical beneficence and maudlin sentimentalism: "Eugene Sue used to visit almost daily one of the most fashionable ladies in Paris, Madame de—, and hold forth in her richly furnished boudoir on the condition of the poor. "Do you ever relieve their distress ?" asked Madam& de..-4 at the - clove 'of one of these harangues. " To a trifling extent," answered Sue ; " but though my gifts •are small, they are always cheerfully bestowed. I give one-fourth of my income in alms." "That afternoon. as - he left the Cafe de Paris, where he had been eating a costly dinner, an apparently old woman clad in rags, prayed for charity. "'(3o away,' was the stern reply. "'But lam starving, give me a single copperto,purchase bread with.' " *ill give you in charge to a police officer, if you thus annoy me.' "'Yon will?' said the beggar ; 'andyet, Monsieur Eugene Sue, you are the man who writes about the misery of the poor yon are the workingman's champion— you are—' "'Who are your exclaimed Sue.

A Wretched Tale The wife of 'a highly respectable and wealthy - citizen' of St. Lords, residing on one of themost aristocratic aVeues of that city, was lately brought, dressed in silk and decorated with diamond rings; before thedtecorder's court, and fined-for drunk enness. ,Her story is a singular one and illustrates the remarks in the Round Ta ble some time since, "that drunkenness was a growing• and common vice -among American ladies." - The lady in, question, has beep moving in the higherecircles e lives in style,with her coach and servants and has enjoyed the unenviable reputa tion of being ao excellent hostess. Her husband's sideboard always glittered with a formidable and inviting array, of goblets and decanters filled with Spark ling champagne and pale Otard "whose vintage was old and mellow." The house was always open. She was hospitable, and bore the reputation of being a - loiing and worthy "better half." Tithe wore on. Her husband, who was an artist of char enter and position, accumulated and Won the respect of all who knew him. Hie wife became addicted to the bottle, and from taking occasional "snifters," has hu mor disposed every now and then with her husband's friends or invited guests, she came to love her hot punch at bed- time and dashed off with no inconsidera ble gusto her highly Spiced gin coctails before breakfast. Then her child died, and she took all the more to "John Bar leycorn," and the servants declared "she was often top heavey and shaky a &Out walking." To the ears of her lov ing spouse these doings at. length came. In vain he remonstrated. Sornetiinesi she repented, and was for a time abstemious, but'the least indisposition or most tri fling grief or disapointment bropghtback the love of "the ardent," tillit had grown quite unbearable.

Her bro ken-hearted husband had grown well nigh discourages], and were it not for an. overweening, affection that he ,bore for hA , , would long since have packed her off, "bag and baggage." Last week she was public in- her demonstrations of drunkenness, and the officers of the law seized her and carried her to jail, and* her name and family were disgraced 'by the fine imposed as a common drunkard; "found drunk in the streets." HOW ‘TO SEE A BROTHER,---Th follOW_ ing•anecdote - is told of Prince Oscar, of Sweden: When a boy he was one• day roaming over his father's palace in quest of his' brother,,who was lately appointed Viceroy of.

Presently he succeeded in entrapping one, which be immediately put into the sugar bowl and shut down the cover., The gentleman asked for an explanation of this singular sport. " I'll tell you," replied the miser, a triumph ant grin over spreading his countenance as he spoke. " I want to ascertain if the servants steal the sugar."
