As it is lost to the worhi, so far
as I know, who will reconstruct it
from these data?
Divide a great square into 25(5
small squares {lGxl6), in which all
the numbers, from 1 to 250 inclus
ive are put -in the 10 horizontal
and 10 vertical columns y when
completed, it will be found pos
sessed of the following pro})erties:
1. The sum of the 10 numbers in
each row, taken horizontally or
vertically, is 2050.
2. Every half row, horizontally
or vertically, sums up 1028, the
half of 2050.
3. The sum'of the 4 central aud
of the 4 corner squares is 1028, J of
2050; and either 4 makes 514, i of
1028, ^ of 2050. There are also 80
short columns, of 4 sqrs each, 514.
4. Commencing at the centre,
each half diagonal ascending ad
ded to half diagonal descending,
both to the riglit or both to the
left, each couple makes the same
2050; also of 10 pairs of half diago
nals added to 16 other pairs, all
parallel to the first two pairs, each
pair makes 2050.
If a square hole, equal in
size to 10 of the small squares, be
cut in another paper, and, this be
placed anywhere on the first so
that 16 of the small squares shall
be visible, their sum will constant
ly be 2050, making 88 of the^sqrs.
of 10, each making 2050.
6. Two of the corner sqs., 257,
^ of 1028, ^ of 2056, the two other
corner sqs the same.

A NEW CLOCK.
There are two things to which
we never grow accustomed ; the
ravages of time and the injustice
of our fellow-men.—TaZ/eymwd.
Mr. Thos. D. Lynch, a worthy
young man of this town, died en
Tuesday night last. He had but
recently been received into the
communion of the Presbyterian
Church. He enjoyed the res
pect and confidence of the com
munity, and died in the Chris
tian faith.
We are gratified to know that
the Legislature, in its wisdom,
realized the importance of casting
an eye toward the care of the many
colored orphan boys and girls
roaming the highways and infest-
the cities and towns of the
State, and incorporated a board of
trustees for an “Eastern Orphan
Home,” The trustees,we suppose,
will take action iu the matter at
no distant day. We hope to see
grand results—CaroZma Enterprise
"Every one wants the easiest
place, and we jostle one another
around in the strife for it, till we
make all the places hard.”
A large house is not built in a
day. But one brick at a time, day
after day, continuous toil will at
last construct a large building. So
it is with mental work. A little
learned day after day will at last
give one a well filled mind.

Whe n Hannibal had made up
his mind to cross the Alps, he did
not begin to waver, and halt his
ar my, and give vent to feelings of
depression. He marched right on!
Those rugged heights of the snow
capped Alps had no terror for him.
The almost perpendicular ascent,
the yawning abyss, the howling
snow-storm did not cause his head
to swim, or chill ^his ardor in his
determination to win success. He
knew that beyond that mighty
barrier lay the grand object which
he was striving to reach--the sun
ny laud of Italy.
The great thing in this world is
not so much where we are, as iu
what direction we are moving. To
reach the port of Heaven, we must
sail sometimes with the wind, and
then against it; but we must sail,
and not drift or lie at anchor.
The believer lifted by the power
of the Holy Spirit out of the attrac
tion of Christ gravitates upward.
He no longer needs a whip or spurs
to urge him, but the magnetism of
love draws him sweetly, yet
mightily, onward toward the King
in his beauty.
It is said, " There is no royal
road to learning.’’ This is true,
but we go a step further and say
there is no royal road to success iu
anything. Every man must be
guided by certain great principles
in order to achieve his desired ob
ject.
Dr. Lyman Beecher was
frequently absentminded- On
one occasion, after an eve**
ning’s service, he started for
home in a brown study. The
houses of his block were of
tlie same pattern, he entered
the wrong door. The house
he mistook for his was occu>
pied by a well known hatter
by the name of Rhodes, a
Unitarian. The doctor put
his baton the stand in the
hall, went into a back parlor
where Mrs. Rhodes and her
family were gathered, drew a
chair to the fire, put his feet
to warm on a mantle over
the grate, tipping back his
chair and his head—simply
thinking. Jnst then he hap
pened to notice a French
clock under glass, upon the
mantle, and exclaimed:
“Wife, wherein the world
did you get that clock?”
No answer. No one
could answer, for they were
ready, to burst with merriment
at their neighbor’s absence of
mind.
‘I say, Wife! \^here did
you get that clock?”
Mrs. Rhodes was a lady.
Putting her hands gently on
his shoulder, in the sweetest
tone she said.-
“Dr. Beecher, you have
made a mistake and got into
the wrong house.”
He cast a quick glance
around upon the family circle
sprang from his chair, and,
with a bound, was out of the
house without a word of ex
planation or excuse.
