UNBELIEF. There is no unbelieL Whoever plants a leaf beneath the sod, And waits to see it push away the clod, Trusts he in God. Whoever says, when clouds are in the sky, "Be patient, heart! Light breaketh by and ' by," Trusts in. the Most High. Whoeversees, rneath Winter's field of snow, The silent harvests of the future grow, God's power must know. Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep, Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, Knows God will' keep. Whoever says "to-morrow," "the un? known," * "The future," trusts that power alone He dares not to disown. The heart that looks on when the eyelids close, And dares to live when life has only woes, God's comfort knows. There is no unbelief.

Atla>*ta, Ga., July 9,1?75. By the merest accident I stumbled upon an invention which will shortly astonish the world. It is not a patent fraud like the Keely motor, neither is it a mythical affair like the Memphis Tor {>edo Chicken, but it is a real, genuine nvention, hatched out from the brains of a negro I It is the first negro inven? tion I ever heard of, and I can only ac? count for it by remembering the wonder? ful gift of music of Blind Tom. Here music unaided by the tutelage of pro? fessors, stripped of its technicalities and unburdened of its huge piles of huge music books and primers, settled all at once among the torpid fibres of a stupid brain, and thus endowed idiotic Tom with an untutored mastery of the piano. Hence the eccentric freak of nature, or incomprehensible ruling of the Almighty, bears me out in the supposition that Green Fleming, of Clayton County, in? ventor of the flying boat, may have* been gifted, instead of being the possessor of an acquired knowledge of mechanism. It is needless to relate the accident by which I became a party to the secret, and as my time is limited, I will endeavor to give a brief description of the inventor and his wonderful invention. Green is about 43 years old, thick set, black as a new widow's dress, and is very illiterate. He is a shoemaker, but has not worked at-his trade for over a year, having devo? ted the whole of that time to the comple? tion of the air boat. He began work on his project some fourteen years ago, and so quietly did he work, aud so jealously did he guard his secret that only four persons ever knew of it up to the time of my discovery. One of those four was a Colonel in the Federal Army, who man? aged to steal the model while Green was in custody on a trumped-up charge of misdemeanor, during the occupancy of Georgia by the troops under cherman. Green had unthoughtedly exhibited the model to the officer, who, seeing its worth, played this, trick to get possession of it. i Before the troops 'reached Columbia, Green made his escape, but not without Elunging his knife into the Colonel whilst e lay sleeping in his room at a hotel. The three others were his old master, his wife and son. The old man, long since dead, never gave the matter a thought, satisfied in his own mind that it was some piece of foolishness. His wife and son were evidently of the same opin? ion, as they never took any interest in it, or gave it any attention. As for the in? vention, it is of a canoe shape, but smaller than an ordinary boat. On either side are wheels, which resemble the paper flutter-wheels of children. From the hub radiate cone-shaped spokes made by covering light frarae3 with canvas, leav? ing the underside open or hollow. These wheels, reminding you when attached to the boat, of the side-wheels of a steam? ship, arc operated by a crank in the cen? tre, the speed being accelerated by a combination of cog or gear wheels. Just ander these toy windmills, which are about four feet in diameter, are fastened by fingers to the sides of the bont, two canvas screens; at least they look like screens, about three by five feet, so ar ranged, by levers in the bottom of the boat, to move up and down, in the same ! manner as you raise and lower the leaves of your dining table. Another screen, two by four feet, serves as a rudder. The screens or "moderators," as Green calls them, when lowered, serve as a kind of dry dock for the boat, the edges rest? ing on the ground. A semi-circle is cut out of the end of the screens attached to the boat, which allows them to mov? un and down without touching the wheels. The operator climbs up by means of the frame forming the "moder? ator" into the boat. He takes his seat in the centre, and when ready to start, turns the crank, his feet placed on the levers that move the moderators and rudder. As soon as the wind wheels are put in motion, the boat rapidly rises from the ground in a perpendicular line. When the proper latitude, 80 feet orj higher, is attained, the moderators are raised to a horizontal position, which , places the boat in that condition that it can neither descend or ascend. The moderators act as parachutes. The boat is now on its track, so to speak, and the revolving of the wind wheels drives it forward, instead of upward, with wonder? ful speed. When ready to descend, the moderators are raised to a perpendicular, and the descent is made slower or faster according to the will of the operator, by turning the crank. When near the ground, the moderators are lowered and lorm a rest for the boat. The fall can be broken by allowing the moderator to fall into a horizontal position. The wonderful speed of this air-boat enables Green to go to Savannah and return in four hours, a feat, he says, he has accomplished several times at night. He is afraid to venture in any other di? rection, being unacquainted with any other route. By calculation the boat can travel to New York in ten hours, even allowing time for the operator to rest. The application for a patent has been sent to a lawyer in Washington. The inventor is afraid of everybody. My information was pumped out by bits, and I had to beg him nearly an hour before he allowed me an inspection of the model. Whether it can be put into practical use, I can't say- It beats the balloon in air Bailing, and almost equals the telegraph in "rapid transit." As soon as the patent is obtained Green will ascend publicly from Savannah aud steer his course to New York. As he is as ignorant of ge? ography as a mule, he can only fix his rudder in the direction of New York and steer straight ahead. What a pity this idea didn't strike an intelligent white man ! RoANOKE. Warm Weather Christians.?Dr. Cuyler, in the Evangelical, writes of warm weather Christians. Among other things he says; "When the glass gets above ninety the inward emotions are congealed and piety is 'past feeling.' This is the spe? cies of "Christian professors who spend the Sabbath hours fanning themselves on their piazzas when their pastor goes by on his way to his and their sanctuary. It is not too warm for him to preach, but it is too warm for them to listen, lie has toiled through one or two severe sum? mer days to prepare a discourse for their souls ; they are unwilling to go and sit for half an hour as the recipients of 'the truth as it is in Jesus.' Wh? must the world think of such a religion ?" How many earnest hard-working clergyman there are in the land who echo Dr. Cuy lers sentiments. It is indeed a matter of which the pillars of the church should ' be ashamed, that they should suffer their i minister to conduct service amid the heat and discomfiture of a summer Sun? day, while they, with coat and vest off, slippers on, and surrenders down, recline in their back yards under the wide spreading branches of the umbrageous apple tree, with a refrigerator within reach. If there is ever a time when pro? fessors of religion need spiritual check and guidance, it is in the summer time. There are so many very excellent church members who leave their religion to the care of the stay-at-home pastor, while they, in some distant watering place, give their "desires and passions" a sea breeze airing, very detrimental to the moial health. The thermometer is a great regulator of religious fervor.?Cou? rier Journat. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? An Iowa court has decided that it is not legal for a farmer to hitch his wife up with a mule, no matter how anxious -he is to plow. ? "I think I have seen you before, sir. Are you not Owen Smith ?" "Oh yes, I'm owin' Smith, and owin' Jones, and owin' Brown; and owin' everybody." ? An Indiana lawyer eloped with his sister-in-law the other day, but his wife never shed a tear. She sent his law-books after him, sold the furniture and took the children to the circus. ? Au Illinois paper says of a thunder holt: "It first struck the" lightning rod, slid down to the roof, ran up to the cel? lar, tore shingles off the weather-hoard? ing, and went away without hurting anv thing." ? "From what you know of him, would you believe him under oath?" "That depend- m circumstances. If he was so much intoxicated that he did not know what he was saying, I would; if not, I wouldn't." ? A boy found a pocket-book, and re? turned it to its owner, who gave him a five ceut piece. The boy looked at the coin an instant, and then handing it reluctantly back audibly sighed, as he said, "I can't change it." ? In a newspaper office in Australia there was at one time a tablet informing visitors that the editorcould only be spo? ken to during business hours by purchas? ing tickets of admission at the door. The price was ten shilling for half an hour's talk. ? Dr. Johnson once dined with a Scot? tish lady who had hotch-potch for dinner. After the doctor had tasted it she asked him if it was good. "It is good for hog?, ma'am," said the doctor. "Then pray," said the lady, "let me help you to some more." ? Copy was out. The devil picked up a paper and said, "Here's something 'About a woman'?must I cut it out!" <:No!" thundered the editor; "the first dis? turbance ever created in the world was occasioned by the devil fooling about a woman." ? A teacher in the Port Jervis public schools was last week explaining to the children that usually all words ending with "let" meant something small, as streamlet, rivulet, hamlet, etc. Whereup? on a smart boy asked if hamlet meant a small ham. ? Bulwer, in one of his early novels, writing on love, says: "Perhaps it would oe better if we could get rid of it altogether. Life would go on smoother and happier without it. Friendship is the wine of existence, but love is the dram-drinking." ? Gov. Chamberlain, of South Caro? lina, writes to the New York Herald that he will recommend an appropriation for tho Centennial at the next meeting of the Legislature. After he shall have succeeded in getting it, let Hardy Solo? mon become the guardian of the fund. ? At the close of one of the battles in the Peninsular War, an officer seeing a private of his regiment bringing in three French prisoners, asked him how he had managed unassisted, to make such a cap? ture. "Be jabers, vcr honor," replied tho man proudly, "I surrounded them 1" ? "For want of water I am forced to drink water; if I had water, I would drink wine." This speech is a riddle, and here is the solution. It Was the com? plaint of an Italian vineyard man, after a long drought, and an extremely hot sum? mer that had parched up all his grapes. ? A man who cheats in short measure is a measureless rogue. If in whiskey, then he is a rogue in spirit. If by falsifying his accounts, then he is an unaccountable rogue. If he gives a bad title to land, then he is a rogue indeed. If he gives short measure in wheat, then he is a rogue in grain. ? General Colquitt says this is the way to remove stumps : Have one or more sheet iron chimneys, some four or five feet high. Set fire. to the stump and place the chimney over, so as to give the requisite draught at the bottom. It will draw like a stove, the stump will soon be consumed. With several such chimneys, of dilferent sizes, the removal of stumps may be accomplished at merely nominal labor and expense. ? It is said oi the new book of Miss Augusta J. Evans that it will far excel St. Elmo in point of intense interest and thrilling thought, and that "the rhythmic polysyllables come rolling upon the strand of literature even as the green sea beats grand cadences upon ihe shore cov? ered with the drifting sands of centuries, bearing upon its bosom pearls of purest ray, fit to bedeck proud Juno's diadem." It is is to he called "Infelicia." i ? The story is told of a clergyman who had three pets?a monkey, a parrot and a squirrel. These three he imprudently left,'on one occasion, shut up in his li? brary. When he returned he found that the monkey's hide was full of holes, I which had evidently been bitten there, the sqirrel had lost his tail ; and the par- j rot, having been picked alive, was perch- J ed on the back of a chair as the master entered, to whom he remarked, by way of explanation of the condition of affairs, "we've had a lively time of it." ? The other day, when the stamp clerk at the Vicksburg Post Office refused to "lick on" a three-center for an old lady I who wanted to post a letter, she stood back, gave him i glance of scorn, and in? dignantly exclaimed : "Well, if folks aint getting powerful peart, and sassy these days! I believe if Gabriel should i blow his trumpet to-morrow that half the young folks would want to git on starched I shirts afore they went to heaven." New Advertisements. The Brown Cotton Gin Co.
