Mr. James N asmyth, of Bridgewater foundry, Patricrott, near Manchester, has rise a means of destroying, by one mas- terly blow, the largest ship of an invading eiietny.

No. 8. the steam engine and crew are placed, be perfectly inaccessible to the efect of ‘either red-bot or cold shot, but, b reason of the barrel-like form of the venue , it would pre- sent, in most positions, no surface fsvoursble to shot taking effect; and as e means of propulsion would consist of a suitable coin- pact steam-engine, of the most simple con- struction, and ii screw-pro ller submerged some 10 or 12 feet below water, both the crew and machinery would be quite out of harm's way. 4. As respects the construction of the shell, it would be of the most simple cha- racter, being somewhat in the form of a huge thimble, or somewhat similar to the Minie rifle ball, containing a suitable charge of powder, and havin it self-exploding cap at the breech end, an the shall so arran- ged in the chamber of the mortar, as that the crushing action resulting on the protruding end of the shell being brought l'I contact with the hull of the enemy, the self-explo- ding cap is thereby forced in contact with the breech of the mortar, and the shell in- stantly explodes in contact with the side of the enemy into which it tears its way, loav- ing a hole as wideas a church door. The result to the'enemy, I leave to imagination to icturc. The instant before contact, it would,be well to reverse the engine, so asto back off and leave the enemy to his well merited fate. The shell would be encased in a copper, water-tight case, so that it might be p acsd in the chamber of the mortar, and remain there six feet under water line for years without injury of any kind, ready for action whenever it would he wanted. Were _our harbours provided with two ,0!‘ three of these floating mortars, which could be brought into action at any time with half an hour's notice, I am confident that no invading enemy would dare to insult our shores, as any attempt on his part to take up a position and proceed to discharge troops would be followed with certain destruction from the first tsp of the provw-of the floatilg mortar.’ _ . A few thousand pounds would test in the most complete and satisfactory manner the correctness and success of this proposed simple means of defending our counts from all invading enemies, and I trust some suit- able means will be afforded, by a most full and complete demonstration, of the aficion- cy of what I have proposed, for the pro- tection and service of my country. Tuis Ham) ruiviia irrauck iua.—We recently heard the following. most touching incident: A little boy had ‘ed. His body was laid out in a darkened, retired room, waiting to be laid away intbe long, cold grave. His afilicted mother and bereaved little sister went in, to look at the sweet face of the precious sleeper, for his face was beautiful even in death. As they stood gazing upon the form of one so cherished and beloved, the little girl asked to take his hand. The mother at first did not think it best, but as the child repeated the request, and seemed very anxious about it, she took the cold, bloodless hand of her sleeping boy, placed it in the hand of his weeping sister. The dear child looked at it for a moment, caressed it fondly, and then looked up to hsr mother, through the tears of affection and love, and said: “M ,tlu's little hand sever slrucl: iiu!” What could be more touching or lovsly! Young readers, have you alwuyu been so gentle to your brothers and sisters, unit were you to die, could such a tribute uiliig be paid to your memory? Could a brother or a sister take your hand, were it cold in doaitb, and say: “This hand never struck me I! What an alleviation tooiir rief when us are called to art with our nds, to be able to remain er only words and actions of huI_nsn kindness andlove. I-Io‘w_ bitter must be the sorrow, andhow sc 'ug '0 tears of an unkind child, as he looks upon the cold form, or stands at the grave of a brother or sister, a father or mother, towards whonho manifested unkiiidness. Let us all remem- ber that whatever we sow in tl-is respect, that we shall also reap. _.___,.____ Dori ’-r now an own Soii.—Tliere ' a good story told of Jarvis, the paintsr.
