NO TIME TO LOS IS.
No time tc lose! no time to lose!
Life's fleeting moments urge ua on;
E'en while we (muse to and chouse,
Tlic gulden timo for action.)'!; gone.
No tiiuo to low! Time's pinion's flvinjj
Cliape the hurrying moments fut;
Atul one by one the hours are dying,
Until another year Is past.
ISO time to lose! let'H Ixtiih'li sorrow,
And live in pleasure while wo may;
Lot's fling ourearos upon the morrow,
Ami seize the blessings ofto-day.
Welmve no time to lose in sadness,
No chilling griefs our hearts should freeze;
Adown life's stream let's glide in gladness,
Ami spread our sails to pleasure' breeze.
"No time to lose! life's sands aro eblrng
Anil all tilings whi-per of decny;
And tiie pulsc-clock'n con^olcss throbbing
Tolls we too must pass away.
No time to lose! let's not be wasting
The few brief moments left us here;
Fill up your cup, while life Ls lasting,
And drink n welcome to the year.

SATURDAY NIGIIT.
The week in past, its latest ray
Is vunished with the closing day;
And 'tis as far beyond our grasp
It's now departing hours to clasp,
As to recall tlmt moment bright
When first creation sprang to light.
ilic week is past; and has it brought
Some hvaios of sweet ami soothing thought
Anil has it left some memory dear
Of heavenly raptures tasted here,
Although it ne'er returned again)
And wlio would sigh for its return?
w earo but pilgrims born to mourn;
And moments as they onward flow,
Cut -hort the thread of human wo,
And brings us nearer to tlio scenes
Where sorrow ends and lleaveu bejjln*.
RANDOM SKETCH.
rtn. - e 1 . - ;
i no iui owing extract. is lroni the last
English work on the United Htutes?
' dnckrty's Amoricn." J'lie book seems
to be written in .* spirit of candor and fairness,
which rarely characterizes nil English
book on Amciicn.
Real Source of JKngliish and American
Power.?"In estimating our own position
among tho nations of the earth, wo rvc
i.?i iiuiu 111 uiu nnoiioi taking the growing
power, wealth and influence of vfmoricn
i:;to account. We think wc do enough
when we measure ourselves against the
tuitions of Kuropc, and take steps to mnint
.in our supremacy among them. America
is too far away to have much influence
upon our political arrangements, and we
accordingly attach but little consequence
to her in any light. iZ'his is a great mistake.
America is the nnlv i1-~
- . I * #11 H I II"
earth which wo have to (Irani. Wo have
not to fear her politically, tor reasons already
mentioned; we have not to apprehend
any military chastisement at her
hands, for in that, respect we know both
how to avenge and to defend ourselves;
but wo have to fear the colossal strides
which she is taking in industrial develdpement.
Wo have loss reason to dread
the combined armaments of the world,
than the silent and unostentatious operations
of nature, and the progressive achi
vrumuntM oi art on the continent Oi vlmcricn.
JTe begird ourselves with floats,
mid saturate the community with militajy
and police, end think that we have
done all that is needed for the perpetuation
of our influence and the maintenance
of our power. What is it but our material
wealth? Napoleon confessed that it was
the gold more than the arms of England
that humbled him. Our wealth is the I
esuu oi our industiy.
"It may be humiliating to confess it,
but it is not by surrounding ourselves by
all the pomp and panopoly of war ' bat we
can maintain ou.t position, but by tbo
steady promotion and encouragement o!
our industry. Let our industry flag,and
our unemployed capital will find investment
olswhcro. Let capital once begin
to (low from us, and the stream will soon
becomo so broad and deep as to drain us
as a nation of our life-blood. Unless our
industry is kept up, America will absorb
our capital. It is like the magnetic mountain
that oxtriK-t/'fl nil '
...i uic iiiiiiH ironi mo
ship. Let us give it a wide berth or it
will servo us in a similar manner, atvl
li'.ive us to sink with our cargo. We
can only do this l>y?let me again repeat
it?steadily and zealously promoting and
encouraging our domestic industry.
"I havo already suflieiently explained |
the foundation which America has laid, i
both in the magnificent provisions of nanre,
and the stupendous achieve.nents of
trt, for futrre material greatness. Her1
resources in almost every point of view
are inlnitoly greater than any that we
poBioM. Look at her forests, her fertile
VAli'X'B ?>>'1 "? ' '

at ths variety of hor production*, including
most of thoso tlia1. arc tropical, and
all mat nro yielded, by th-3 tomper itc zone;
and look at hor mines tooming with coal,

discovered, with ailver and goM. fjook

the advantages she possesses for turning
all her resources into account: in her
magnificent systems of lakes and rivers;
in her extensive sea-cons(; in in her numonnis
jirul 1 mi-hoi's: nnd in her
geographical position, presenting, as she
(Iocs, a double front to the Old J To rid, or
holding out, as it were, one hnnd to Asia
nnd the other to Europe. We have only
to look to the race possessing all these
advantages to decide whether they are
likely to be turned- to account or not.
The Americans are Englishmen exaggerated,
if anything, as regards enterprise.
This is not to be wondered at, as they
have, as a people, more incentives than
we have to entcrptise. Of this we may
rest assured, mat die most win nc mauc
of ilie resources and advantages at fieir
disposal. This i.s all that has made us
great. Jfc have turned our coal, and
our iron, and our other resources to acount,
and the world has by turns wondered
at and envied the result. The Aincrican
stock of coal and of iron is more
than thirty times as great r.s ours, and
more than twelve times as great as that
of all Europe. Their other resources are
in the some proportion, nscompared with
! ours. And if our resources, turned to
good account, have made us what we
arc, what will be the fabric of material
gioatncss which will yet sp ing from the
ample development of resources thirty
limccs as great? If the industry of from
twenty to thirty millions of people, with
limited means, have raised England to
her present pinnacle, of greatness and iflorv,
what will the industry of one hundred
and fifty million yet e(lect in Ar erira,
when brought to bear upon resources almost
illimitable?"
KEEP YOUR TEMPER.
"I can never keep any thing," cried
Emma almost stamping with vexation.
Somchodv always takes my things away
and loses them." (?Sfhe had mislaid some
of her sowing implements.)
"7'here is one thing," remarked her
mama, "thnt I think you might keep if
you would try."
"1 should like to keep even one thing,"
answered Emma.
"Well then my dear," resumed mamma,
"keep your tamper; if you will only
do (hat, perhaps you would find it easy
to keep other things. I dare say, now, if
you had employed your time in searching
for the missing articles, you might have
found them before .this time; but you
havenot even looked for them.
"You have only got into a passion?a
bad way of spending time?and you have
accused somebody, very unjustly too, of
taking away your things and losing (hem,
Keep your temper, mv dear, when you
have mislaid anv article, keep cool, and
search for ir. You had better keep your
temper, if you lose all the little property
vou possess; pelting into a passion never
brings any thing to light.except a distor
ted face; and by losing your temper, you
become guilty of two sins, when you t^et
into a passion, and accuse somebody of boinjj
the cause; so my dear, I repent,
"Keep your temper."
Kmma subdued her ill-humor, searched
for the articles she had lo.-t, and found
them in her own work-bag.
"Why, nvimmn!" she exclaimed, "here
they are; I might have boon sewing all
this time, if I had kept my temper."?

Kf/yrrimcnts on Remington* a Model of
a Bridge.?A correspondent of t c Mobile
yldvotliscr from Montgomery, describes
im experiment made ait. that place
to test the strength of some of Remington's
model hiidgc:'.. For the purpose a
bridge was prepared sixty feet long. The
floor was supported by three strings of
?.n1l??r n,,.; #>f llw.cn il..n?
strings was < n and tl r equarter inches
each at the abutments, and exactly one
inch square each at the centre. l*po!i
theso threo strings which were made of
pieces of plank, or strips joined together
so as to produce strips of the required
length, a lloor was laid consisting of two
courses of rough plank, crossing the
bridge diagonally, in opposite directions
and nailed together. J'he whole bridge

put upon it consisted of pigs of iron,
previously weighed. When tho Iron was
put on it, the floor began to sink in the
middle, caused by the abuument.s at each
extremity, yielding inwards?they had'nt
been made sufficiently stiff. ,7'hU of
eourso spoiled the trial of strength.
They gradually yielded as the bridge was
I loaded, till the centre of the bridge sunk
at least two feet and a half below the
horizontal line When the weight reached
2P,000 pom d the thrco string pieces I
snapped asunder nt the centre, where
they were each one inch square. At'.he
oentre there was no joint or splice in the
stringers?it was the natural wood one

three piece*, each one inch square, of yel
low pine, bore weight until it reached
