We find the new fangled notion of
turning the last syllable of female
Christian names into “ie,” thus cun-
ningly hit off in the Philadelphia
Evening Post:
Fallen from grace old names corao down
And dressed in tatters roam round town :
Falling, they’ve grasped and tried to cletuAi
At fading beauty in “Bad French 1”
Magdalen penitent, oh what a fate!
As Maggie thou must navigate.
Agnes deprived of nes is Aggie,
Looks like a leg of mutton scraggy.
Nancy, poor girl, is now a Nannie,
Frances llounts all round as Fannie.
Mary, sweet name of gtace, is Marie,
While Caroline falls down to Carrie.
Stately Cordelia walks as Delie,
Matilda writes her name thus, Tilli*.
Martha descends to simpte Mattie,
Harriet is better known as Hattie.
Emily, faith her name is Emmie,
Jane has become an errant Jennie.
Elizabeth dances up as Lizzie.
Betsy as Bessie is as busy.
Gertrude, oh horrors, shines as Tudie,
While Julia (black haired), beams as Judie.
Louisa only known as Lulie,
Helen as Nellie wants to fool ye.
Rebecca as Beckio signs her name,
Susan as Susie docs the same,
Bridget with truthfulness is Biddie,
Lydia contents herself with Lydie.
While glorious Sarah makes a Sallie,
And Alice lives all round “Our Allie.”

In the editorial column there is a sad
and touching story, relating to the
announcement, which is given below.
It is a lesson from the tomb to the
young and thoughtless, and told so
eloquently that it cannot fail to make
an impression for good on readers of
every age. It says :
“In another column we record the
death of a young lady who died of a
broken heart. We do not like to
tresspass upon the sacredness of do-
mestic grief, to unfold the details of
her sad story. But when the privacy
of affliction becomes pu lie feeling,
it is not improper for the press to
place the events on reco’d. It is not
necessary to repeat names or relate
minute particulars. It is enough
that we dravv the outlines of a pic-
ture for the readers to paint with ap-
propriate colors. Many months ago,
in the neighboring town of Belcher-
town, a young man sought and re-
ceived the promise of the hand of a
young lady, whose home was in the
lap of luxury, whose mental and per-
sonal attractions made all pleasant
around her. Like too many confid-
ing ones of her sex, she trusted man’s
unhallowed promise, md yielded all
to him!: From that hour he estranged
himself from her, and soon removed
to a distant State. When it beeame
evident that he had exposed himself
to the penalty of the law, at the re-
quest of her friend he visited her to
fulfill the vows he had long before
made. They were married in one of
those hasty, unceremonious ways,
which occupy but little time or at-
tention. Late in the evening they
returned to her father’s house, where
he left her in the street, promising to
return in a short time. But that
promise was never fulfilled. She
wrote to him and received encourage-
ment that he would soon provide a
home for her, but delay followed de-
lay, until her letters and entreaties
were unheeded and unanswered.—-
At length a pledge of woman’s love
for her husband came into the world
to open new fountains of affection to
the young wife. Still the husband
and father came not.
The mother recovered from con-
finement ; but, after repeated letters
to her husband found no answer, the
idea that she was deserted by him
forced itself upon her, and she gave
way to despondency and despair
still hesitated, but at length set out
to meet his expireing wife. Con-
scious that her hours were few, she
only wished to live long enough to
see her husband; ho was still all to
her. Her last words to her friends
were: “Tell him that I still love
him—that I died for him.!’ When
evening shadowed the earth, the hus-
band came. As he approached the
bedside of his injured wife, he v..s
recognized, and the words “He’s
come” burst from her lips. Already
had the wing of the death angel cast
its shadow over that dwelling, and
she was entering tho dimness of the
dark valley. .Next morning, in that
room, lay the corpse of a beautiful
young wife, on which the husband
had looked for the last time, and de-
parted.
“Last Sabbath afternoon, the fun-
eral of the young wife took place
under her father’s roof. Iler neigh-
bors and friends to the number of live
hundred, were present; but the hus-
band who had left her to die for him,
was not there. A deeply affecting
address was made by her former pas-
tor, and, just as the sun was sinking
behind the western hills, four young
ladies of her acquaintance, clad in
garments of white, Lore her to her
grave in the garden, where the green
turf was gently laid over her. Such
is the story of one who died of a
broken heart. The grave is a quiet
place for the injured wife, but where
iu all the world can there be peace
for him who would thus bring sorrow
and death upon her ? The ritory has
its moral, but we will leave the read-
er to apply it; it is full of warning
and we leave the young to heed it.
UTILIZING SMALL ARMS.
The child partaking of its mother’s
grief soon
There was nothing more that she
could live for, and, though suffering
from no disease, she sank upon a dy-
ing bed.
Then the swift wing of lightning
bore to the distant husband the in-
telligence that she was dying. He
A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia North American Gazette, al-
ludes to the saving of what is called
“waste,” at the Altoona machine-
shops ot the Pennsylvania Railroad,
as follows :
“Waste is cotton shreds and racs
used for cleaning locomotives and
other machinery. It soon becomes
saturated with oil and dirt, and in
that condition is useless. This arti-
cle, seeming like a small item, adds,
nevertheless, some eight thousand
dollars to the expense account of the
road. Some ingenious’ Yankee pro-
posed washing this waste by steam,
using soda or some other cleansing
compound, afterwards drying it in a
centrifugal drying machine. It was
tried and proved that, by renewing,
this item the expense can be reduced
at least one-half. The degree of at-
tention paid to these minuta), in de-
tail, will, at any time, upon so exten-
sive an undertaking, make the differ-
ence between a dividend or nondivi-
deud-paying road.
It is surprising to what an extent
seemingly useless articles are utilized
in the manufacturing arts. We will
present a few examples to illustrate
this point
The prussiate of potash is made in
large quantities in Cineinati, Irom
hoofs, horns and other reluse of
slaugtered grunters.
Cow hair taken from the hides in
tanneries is employed for making
plastering morter to give it a sort ot
fibrous quality.
Saw dust is da ly sold in our streets
for sprinkling the floors of markets;
it is aiso used for packing ice for ship

Old ropes are converted into fine
note paper, and the waste paper it-
self which is picked up in the gut-

The finer qualities of gelatine are
made from ivory raspings—the bones
and tendons of animals.
Bones converted into charcoal by
roasting in retorts are afterwards em-
ployed for purifying the white sugar

A PERILOUS VOYAGE.
The Liverpool Mercury relates the
following history of skillful and dar-
ing seamanship :
Some few months ago instructions
were received in England by Mr.
John Walton, of London, who is con-
tractor of the undertaking, to des-
patch to Bahia a small screw boat to
ply in connection with the Bahia
Railway. Accordingly, a pretty
little craft was built of steel plates,
and as it was utterly impossible to
steam such a distance, even had she
been freighted with coal, it was re-
solved to send the Little Lucy to Ba-
hia under sail alone. Although only
20 tons register, to obviate too grea't
buyancy, which would have proved
fatal in a squall, she was loaded with
IS tons of cargo, and s’arted from the
Tees on her long and perilous voyage.
On reaching Falmouth the captain
and crew, becoming faint-hearted,
put into that port and declined to
proceed further. A message was
then sent down to Liverpool, with
the object of procuring a captain for
the little vessel. Ultimately, Capt.
Richard Breckon, a membeY of the
Liverpool Mercantile Marine Associ-
ation, offered to navigate the vessel
to Bahia. After much difficulty a
crew was got together, but so fragile
was the appearance of the tiny bark,
that one of the crew absolutely jump-
ed overboard no less than six times
in a vain attempt to escape, the cap-
tain on each occasion capturing the
would-be runaway.
On the 20th of April last, the Litt’c
Lucy again being ready for sea, Capt.
Breckon hoisted sail, and fearlessly
steered down the channel, his friends
at Falmouth bidding him a sorrow-
ful adiieu, with the conviction that lie
never would reach Bahia. The bold
Captain however, had no such fears;,
he had been to every part of the globed
was thoroughly familiar with every
trade, and, having confidence in his
little craft, with a full and flowing
sail the Little Lucy bowled down
channel. Nothing of importance oc-
curred until the vessel reached tho
Bay of Biscay, when she encountered
two severe gales, but miraculously,
as it seems, she weathered both nob-
ly, rising like a cor^: to every wave.
Therb is no doubt that to tho unpar-
alleled seamanship of Capt. Breckon
was due mainly the safety of tho
vessel and her crew. After clearing
the Bay of Biscay, the Phoebe Dun-
bar, a large ship, belonging to Lon-
don, with passengers on board, des-
cried the Little Lucy, and, astonished
to see so small a craft in such a lati-
tude, the master signaled to Capt.
Breckon his wish to communicate.—
Accordingly the latter ran his tiny
vessel under the quarter of the Phmbe
Dunbar, when one hundred opera
glasses and telescopes were leveled
at the miniature ship .beneath.
After pariing from the Phabo
Dunbar the Little Lucy encountered
toleiably fine weather, and at length,
a passage of forty-nine days
du ’ ~ ~ *
after a passage of
from Falmouth, Capt. Breckon en
tered Bahia, where the appearance
of iuB vessel created, as might be ex
ot niB vessel created, as mignt be ex-
pected, a great sensation. . when the
length of the voyage is considered,the
smallness of the vessel m which it
was mfcde, the short time in which it
was accomplished, and the danger?
and ri k to be encountered, the voy-
age of the Little Lucy 5s an event
perhaps without parallel for courage,
skill and daring.
