A MEMORY.

Take tliow hrtiotropw out, they tn all too xweet, My «oul grows faint with the rich perfume They call up a vision of nrlft young feet,

And

a fair

face folded

chilly gloom.

I wUb I might mimmon her up from her rent, And clasp herazaln, in the dear, old way— Her fair young head on my lonely bwa*t—

Hut the dead can never come back, they nay.

But I know that at time* I have felt her breath. And her light kiss fall on my drowsing eye**,

I 1

And I know that nhe love* me so well In death She lopg* for ine, even In Paradise.

Look, friend, at the picture that hanga up there A moment watt till the Are grow* red Do you sets It? The eye* and the falling hair

Well, that my darling, but now slie 1* dead. When R«amond sit# In the fltful glow

Of the Are—thi-re, child, move out of It, pray— With tlmhalron her white neck sweeping low—

Her mother wore It the self-same way. I sometime* think atie ha* pome once more To wit with rae here—but I know shots lad I»ve, go fasten the great hall floor,

And Hhut out the sunset no fearfully red

Tin- artlut who painted that picture you see, Was a delicate boy, but a stripling page. And, my darling, she never loved any but me.

But I nod grown blind with my Jealous n»ge.

Through long, long hour* he would nit and paint— Her smile was brighter, more gay her song, And 1 dinned her untrue, that pure young saint—

May God forgive me thAt bitter wrong

For I knew, too late, that the smile was worn That the picture might smile like a sunny day, And the gay glad song that she sung was rn

Of a secret sweet in her heart that lay.

There are times the Angel of Good from our hearts Goes out, and I know that the Florid comes in, When all that is tender and true departs, heaving the dreg* of our folly and sin. I was pitiless then, and I called her false,

I said *hat she loved him more than I, Because that night, In the dizzy waltz, 1 saw hi smile a* they floated by.

Mav Gotf lorglve me the deed I did, The grief I wrought, and the bitter woe! For her heart Is under the coffin-lid,

And Die dead can never come back, YOU know.

JIISTOUY OF RAILROAD CARS. Of the cars constructed between the years 182i and 1K50, we may first notice those in 18.'W), and placed upon the Liverpool i* Manchester (England) Hailway. Thcso carj} had four wheels, but no Hprintpt, the bodies consisting of sills, to which the journal boxes wereboltcd and upon which the floors wero laid. Krotn tho sills, stakes or posts arose, to which pieces of wood wore attached, some longitudinally and some vertically and these cars wore formed without roofs, thev being similar to thoMo now uscd,an(f termed 'rack-cars.' In 1K31, in October, one Mr. Joseph Knight proposed to employ springs under all cars, to support tho body of tho car and contents thereof. Mr. Knight also suggested an improvement in car wheels which entitles him to bo ranked as among thoso who have oxcited our wonder, and who, by tho oxorciso of his genius,

Las,

moro than most othors,con

tributed to tho successful operation of railroad carH. Tho improvement suggested at this timo was that the treads of ear wheels should bo nutdo conical, for tho purpose of facilitating their passago around tho curves of tho road. How Important this suggestion was all now fully realizo, and it is not regarded as saying too much that up to this time no more important improvement. which has referred to railroad cars, lias been made in this or any other country. 3n lHdH, cars lor tho transportation of passengers in England and Scotland consisted of three classes, tho first class being well finished and provided with seats for the passengers to sit upon, which seats were furnishod with cushions. The second class which wero of plain finish, without cushions or ornaments. The third wero little moro than plain boxes set upon wheels and supplied with seats, but in many coses had no roof. In addition to theso three classes there worn what were termed "mixed carriages," which wero designated by names, and consisted of throe compartments, the center one being for first-class passongers, and tho two end ones for second-class passengers.

The next novelty which will be mentioned In the way of passenger cars was introduced In the year l$47, by a Mr. Hanson, of England, and consisted of a compartment far, tho body of which was iron, and constructed as follows: In each ot (he partitions there was placed a hoop of iron, which was hound together by two cross stays, one of wnleh connected tho roof to the lloor. To this fratne-work a sheet or sheets of iron were riveted, sheet of felt leing placed between the 'heads ol tho rivets and thesheols of intViil. Thra* canst had only one seat In each compartment, It being so arranged that the faces of the occupants could always lo in the direction in which the car was moving. At the Itotlnm of I ho car there wore arranged Itoards for resting the feet upon, which consisted of an upper and under piece, with a s|a«e between the two into which to thrust the feet, tho Inner surfaces lximi eowrtnd with sheepskin with the wool on it, the object being to provide for kevpingtnV fret of the passenger warm during the time of his occupying ho sent. At about the bight of the laces of tho passengers there was {.laced a headlKar\l or cushion, formed of sponge, and covered with leather or cloth, HO that in tho event of any sudden shock u|M«n thf'enrs, the head of the occupant would !»o brought In contact with the cushion, and thus, to some extent. be saved trom liijurv.

A freight car, introduced at the aamo time and by tho same inventor, was of the same general construction, except, that Us interior wan arranged for th« reception of freight, and a portion of its roof was made to slide upon rod* over or under the fixed portion, the object being to provide for the reception and di*ehnrgv of the gtxxis through the roof of the car.

In the same year,1S47, very decided novelty in tho shajwofs cur wheel made its appearance in England, which consists! of a wrought iron wheel, which was made in section.*, a portion of tho hub Hnd rim comprising each sect log. and beiug joined loguther by nieans of tongue* and grooves Corn too thervon a* the section* were made, and each being provided with a projection upon the outer segmental surface* to enter groove formed in entire surface of the tire. The hole in the hub of the wheel for the reception of the axle wan bored larger than the axle,«oas to leave room for tho Insertion of an expanding rinjr, the insertion of which waa to fit the axle, while iu exterior was conical in

and thus tightened within the tire, the oone being hold In place by a ring, which waa cast in two parts, and placed in a groove turned in the axle.

At about the time of the last-named date, in contracting for the passenger cars to be run upon the roaa leading from Strasbourg to Baale, in Prance, it waa stipulated that the rooft, partitions, and seats were to be made of American pine, three fourts of an inch in thickness, and that tho roofs were to be covwitb threo pieces of leather, weighing at leaat thirty-eight pounds esch,—National Oar Builder.

LINGERS AND SINGING. Tho character of the voice depends a great deal on the physical organization. It is modified by tho alee -anu shape of the mouth, as well as the manner of using it. If a woman's mouth be small and ner lungs weak, her singingvolce will sound like cooing If her mouth be small and her lungs powerful, her voice will resemble hooting, making a hollow sound, like that produced by blowing into the nock ofu largo bottle if her mouth and throat are both very large, her voice will havo a hrany like that of a negress, and approachinga masculine tenor. It may not have been generally observed that, in proportion as any race of mankind isjeultivatedand civilized, the difference in tho physical power of tho two sexes is widened. The male and female of the African race are moro nearly equal in corporeal strength than the white man ana woman. The voice of a negro of either sex, however, has, in all cases, a twang peculiar to that race. It might bo imitated by singing through a widely-flar-ing tin funnel. Tho length and size of tho neck produce important modifications of the voice. Soprano singers, for the most part, have short necks and high shoulders. Women with very long necks and sloping shoulders have contralto voices, almost without exception. Hence, we may explain a fact which often excites surprise—that many small and slender women havo a low and deep-toned voice, which should bo distinguished, however, from one of tho masculine character. A symmetrical form of the nock and shouldors produces tho mezzo-soprano, or miadlo voice, which is the most agreeable. All theso {different conformations of tho mouth and frame give tho voice its physielogical character, which is also very considerably modified by temperament.

JACOB LIGHTER cheerfully joined a lestivo party in Shelby county, Kentucky, who were going out for a little recreation in the way of bunging a nero as they assured him, one night not ong apo. Jacob began to know how it was himself about tho time ho found that he was hanging instead of the party whoso sudden departure ho had been invited to witness. His friends also saw through tho joke that had been ed upon Jacob, when they found ini still hanging at sunriso next morning* I

DOI.NO UP BLACK SILKS.—If housewives wish black silk to retain its softness and lustro, and, at the same time, havo tho "body" of new silk, let them boil an old kid glove (cut into small shreds) in a pint of water till the water is reduced to half a pint then sponge, your silk with it fold it down tight, and ten minutes aftor, iron it on the wrong side while wet.

OF forty-eight Sisters of Charity tending the small-pox patients in the Bicetre Hospital at paris, eleven died of the hideous malady. Volunteers from the sisterhood were called for to fill their places, and thirty-thrco instantly responded. Many a man has borne himself bravely enough upon tho battlefield, who would shrink from such a trial of charitv.
