LIFE’S PHASES Notes from a Reporter's Mem BY KONE {[Copy-right secured.| Reader, would you believe that invaluable lessons of life are contained in these little worn-out volumes—a local reporter's used-up memorandum books? We suppose mot; but ean, nevertheless. assure you that such is the ease ; for numerous accounts of human ery and goodness are herein recorded. We regret our inability to aver that the latter outnumber the former; but, alas. the reverse is true, and while the latter are comparatively few the former are multitudinous. his may likewise be asserted concerning all human history. It is little clse than a register of the weaknesses, the faults, and the crimes of mankind—thap a mere compilation of sketches of suffering ard sorrow. Incidents of that description are pa- traded upon nearly every page. but seldom are we treated to agreeable jos of generosity cand goodn and, we may almost count upen our finge wals men- tioned in history whos« lives were pleasent to themselves and beneficial te e, while those nations which enjoyes interrupted peace and prospec ut brief narra r Why is this? Does verity constrain ite as eription to the depravity uf the human family ? Or, may we account for it on the hypothesis that we are more prove to remark yie misery than virtue and joy’? Are not seasons of trouble, however brict. like the figures on a watch dial, which strike our attention when- ever we slatice at the plate? Whi ; periods of contex iment, which. like the dial’s blank sur face, occupy a much ! ne. are zed over without commen utly. there is in mankind an intuitive dispo-ition to goss p abcat malefuctions and afliictivns, and an en- Vious reluctance to give honor for virtues. or congratulation for sucee This may, and we believe it does, produce that marked pre- ponderance of sin and sorrow ia | annals. But, as it is not our pr to write a metaphysical dissertation, or 2 sopo- rifie homily, we will, without farther introduc- tion, proceed to the rela of a few incident= thrust upon o enlion whilst pursuing the arduous avoeation of jvcal Paragraphist fur a daily newspaper. Here, then, is the first of a Series : g ns of un- ity are granted 7 A Sad Story. May Sth, 1546 —= Mem Etlen Darrell mys- terivusly disappeared from home three d ago, and has net since been heard of.

The newspaper writer, through ex to preduce readable articles from subjects barren of interest, ins sibly acquires the habit of clothing his the: in this heedles« style. He becomes <o tomed, too, to deseribe cireumstances of an af- fictive import, that he frequently fails to real- “ize the misery, andris apt to appear to “sport | (be pulley and its w with distress and jaugl at despair,” while catering io a morbid public curiosity, which demands “all the particulars” of every vecur- rence demonstrating human frailty “But to our etory Benjamin Darrell was a merchant possessing limited capital, although ample for the com- fortable support of himseit and family. had he restricted his desires to the measure of his in- come. Lut inordinate pride made him averse to living humbly, and ted hius into exessive expenditures and con*equeat ewharrassments Tits mind was engrossed with two paramount subjects—how to keep up the appearance of being w y, and whence to obtain means for defraying current expenses His financiering abilities were worthy a Morris, Liddle, or Gi rard, for notwithstanding his continual per- pleaity arising from a want of moncy, he con- | tus, passes under 2 groov {the axis of wh trived to always to seem to have plenty, and kept the true condition of bis affairs carefully concealed. His theory was, that while the public believe a man wealthy, he can enjoy all the advantages of being so; but if it is known that his liabilities exeeed his assets. he will son become poor, indeed. Mr. D. esteblished himself in business in B. in 1839. and by pretences to wealth and promyt fulfillment of engagements soon gained aston- ishing facilities of credit. Noone everdreamed being harrassed by pecuniary troubles. As his commercial acquaintance extended his Lusiness increased and augmented profits were acquired; yet he knew not prosperity, for the balance sgainst him would ever and anon loom up before his disquieted.vision, eausing him to realize his constant liability to be crushed be- neath its portentous weight. The superstruc- tare of his fortune was grand and symmetrical, and commanded the admiration of all exee;t him who knew its slender foundation; but he could not delight in it, on account of his fear, for he weil knew if he failed to meet a single important engagement, the entire fabrie»muat be so vi maken as to bring it toppling, crashing »nicrumbling down to earth, bury- ing him beneath its ruing, and spreading d! may throughout his circle of friends. Yet h's desire to appear wealthy overpowered all re- solves to economize, and the growth of his busi- ness was accompanied " correspondingly en- larged disbursements. Hie iife was, in short, but.a prolonged struggle between prids and necessity. {ro BE conTINveD.| ee NEW PAYING-OUT MACHINERY OF THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. {From the London Daily News } “ An inspection of the new machinery d: igned for the paying out of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable will amply repay scientific curiosity Nothing, apparently, can work more freviy and admirably than the whole apparatus. We ur- derstand that it has been inspected by some of the first mechanieal engineers, who expressod their unqualified approbation of .the arrange- meuts which have been mace to avoid all unto- ward aceidents to which the cable may be sub- jected. Our readers will remember that it was owing to some detect in. or mismanagement of, the }1ying-out apparatus that the failure in laying down the cable last year took place. ‘Lhe ten- sion to which the cable is subjected in passing eutof the ship is owing to the weight of that fertion which has not as yet touched bottom, aud constitutes the force by which the other portion is uneviled from the wheels or drums over which it is passed in its evolution from the hold of the ship. The greater this tension, the greater the speed with which it will pase out of the ship. if means be not taken to check its progress. Mechanical aids were devised to ob- tain this cheek, and accommodate the paying- gut of the cable to the rate of tLe ship’s motion These consisted of friction drums, so applied as to retard the progress ot paying out. The frie- tion being regulated by brakes, as the ship rose and fell with the sea the pzessure on the cable was necessarily increased or diminiskel. When the swell caused any sudden desceut of the stern of the vessel, it was necessary to ease the brakes. In the old machinery the handle of the brake could be turned so as either to in- eretse or diminish itt power. The man in charge of the brake, tead of turning so as to ease it, is supposed in the excitement of the moment, to have turned it the wrong Way. ‘Thus the fatal rupture was made. To obviate such a calamity as this for the future, the whole paying-out apparatus has been remod- eled. The brakesiman can ease the retarding apparatus, but can add nothing to its power. Any addition to the frictional retardation can aly be made by and with the full cognizance of the principal engineer in charge. The friction brakes are applied to the cir- cutmfereuce of wheels firmly attached to the axles of the paying-ont apparatus. They are the self-adjusiing brakes invented by the inge- nious Mr. App: to prevent prisoners con- demued under the system of crank labor from having more than their fair share of work to do. ihis contr e has beep adapted tu the paying-out machinery by Mr. Field, of the firm of Maudstay, Sons & Field. ‘The details ¢ been brow; working order and nu- pereus mechan ultics overeome by the srs. Brightand Everett, aided by the great experience of Mr. Amos as a practical mechanician ‘The paying-out apparatus consists of two large wheels, the circumferences of which are indented by four decp grooves. Both wheels are of the same diameter. One is placed at a little distance from the other, both in the same plane and with their axles parallel to each other. The axles of these wheels work in a stout ard firm frame, which is sv constructed as to resist any tendency of the cable to draw the wheels toward each other. ‘he cable, after coming out of the hold of the ship in which it is coiled, 1s passed over the first groove of one wheel and then ever a groove of. the other until the four grooves of cach wheel are occupied. Each wheel has its cireumfer- ence passed over by four portions of the cable, each portion of course increasing the friction or bite of the cable cn the surface of the wheel. ‘This is suffivient to prevent the cable from slipping over the surface of either wheel without causing it to revolve. Any means which can bs devised for check- ing the revolution of the axle or the whee! retard the motion of the cable over its circum- ference. For this purpose two friction-wheels, ordrums. are firmly fixed to the axle of each wheel. These drums, whose external cireum- ference is of plane iron, have a band to which wooden blocks are attached, which, by me of levers. can be made ty clasp the surface the drum. The friction brake thus consists of a surface of wood pressing on a surface of iron. with a pressure which ean be increased at the will of the engineer. The clasping apparatus is regulated by weights attached at the ends of rols. which net so as to tighten or loosen the break. The rode work in pistons so as to keep the action of the w: ts alwa n the proper direction, irrespective n ot the ship. The heat produced Ly the friction of the brake is kept from rising to any injurious height by a portion of the drum rey. ving ina constant snpply of cold The weights by which the friction of the brake is regulated are fixed to the rods. so that the an only be i sed or diminished by the priveipal engi- ‘The friction or retarding orce is thus far self-adjasting that-it can ver be in- creased except by the engineer allowing addi tional weights to be attached to the rods D om, itis constant ny instant when required. the whole frictional power of the brake can be im- merliately cased The cable. after each of the wheels assing four times around the ing out appara- Lwheel or pulley is attached to a weighted rod workin tan. This grooved wheel is so erran, it can rise orfutlina frame- work, according to the jon of the cable which runs under its cire erences, and over another fixed pulley, by which it pazses out of the-ship is greater or fes# than the weight of ighted rod The apparatus is, in point of fact, a dyna- mometer, which marks the tension of the rope as itis being paid out of the s| ip. This ten- sion is indicated by a pointer, which makes on the graduated frame of the pulley the position to which its axis is raised or depressed. A man stands before this, in charze of a wheel, b turning the spokes of which be can immedi- ately take off the pressure of the fixed weights on the brake apparatus, and ease the whole the moment a dangere degree of tension is indicated by the index of the dynamomete: but the apparatus wader his charge cannot, any perversity of fear or stupidity, be made apply any greater strain than tho engineer may think expedient and safe. Meecan thus instantly ease the bresks, but cannot commit the fatal error at a Wrong woment of increas- ing their power. For Rent and Sale.
