Urcfk Fire.—In recent Northern aooounts of
the siege ol Charleston, we find frequent mention
made ol throwing shells into the city charged
with the destructive and abominable c«mpo1ind
called “Greek Fire.” It is doubtless an imitation
of this famou.s composition, the receipt of which
has been lost to mankind for hundreds of years.
Scientific men of modern times are by no means
agreed as to the ingredients used in the manufac
ture of this u'ikl tire, and while some announce
one thing arfd some another, as forming a con
stituent part, all are at a loss to form a grand ag
gregate, and are left to conjecture:
Wild Fire, or Gfeek’s lire as it is called, was
the invention of u Syrian engineer named Calla-
nicM.'^, who first applied it in the «oa fight nder
Constantine, a :a:nst the Saracens, in the Helles
pont, and with such effect that he burnt tho whole
fleet, in which were thirty thousand men. It ia
a kind of artificial or factitious fire, which burns
under water, and that, it ia said, with a greater
5 violence than out of it. Its composition is sup
posed to be of sulphur, naptha, gum and bitumen,
and is only extinguishable by vinegar, mixed with
sand and urine, or by covering it with rawhides.
Its motion or tendency is said to be contrary tJ that
of natural fire, always following the direction in
which it is thrown, whether downwards, sideways
or otherwise. For the annoyance of the enemy
the Greeks employed it with equal effect by sea and
land, in batteries or in sieges. It was either pour
ed from the ramparts in large boilers, or launched
in red hot balls of iron, or darted in arrows or
javelins, twisted round with flax and tow which
‘had deeply imbibed the intlaxable oil; sometimes
it was deposited in fire shins and was most com
monly tlowi> through long tubes of copper, which
were placed on the bow of a galley, and fanci
fully shaped into the mouths of savage and hide
ous monsters that seemed to vomit streams ot
liquid and consuming fire. Subsequently to the
year 000, about which time it was first used, it
was oa divers occa,sions applied with signal ad
vantage; and what is remarkable is, that the
Greeks were so happy as to keep the secret qf the
composition ta themselves, though their galleys
and artillery were sometimes loaned to the Ro
mans. Up to the year 9G0, no other nation knew
the secret. Kven at the end of tbe llth century,
t'iiO Pisans, to whom every science and every art
were familiar; suffered the effects without under
standing the secret of the Greek fire.
A Happy Illustration.—In a group in front of
a well known hotel a few days ago, a gentleman
who has been a zealous and prominent laborer in
the Southern cause, remarked: “Having seen the
horrors of this war, when it is ended I will be
for hanging the first man that ever counsels re
volution again.”
“Then why don’t you submit to the abolition
despotasm?” gruffly queried an impulsive patriot.
“Never, bo help me God!” was the emphatic
rejoinder.
“Strange inconsistency!” commented one of his
hearers.
“Not at all,” said Col. B—, a gebtleman whose
patriotism and whose eloquence are both of re
cord. “lie is not more inconsistent than a wo
man in her first travail, who in the hour of her
agony denoxinces and renounces all mankind, but
who, after she has kissed the beautiful lips of the
smiling cherub which cost her so much.pain,
would endure a thousand times more, rather than
be separated from it.”
' In the convulsive throes of this revolution—
wJiich will surely end ia a happy deliverance—
many petulant expressions escape the iips ot true
men which should be kindly consigned to obli
vion.—Atlanta Ke(jister.
The Sfcret of Hnppiness.—The most common
error of men atid women, is that of looking for
happiness somewhere outside of useful work. It
has never yet been found when thus sought; and
never will bo, while the world stands; and tha
sooner this truth is learned the better for every
one. If you doubt th« proposition, glance around
among your friends and acquaintances, and select
those who appear to have the most enjoyment in
life. Are they the idlers, and pleasure-seekers,
or the earnest workers':' We know what your
answer will be.
Of all the miserable human beings it has been
our fortune, or mi.sfortune, to know, they were-
the njst wretched who had retired from useful
employments, in order to enjoy themselves. Why
the slave at his enforced labor, or theJiungry toil
er for bread, was supremely happy in comparison.
Earnestly would we press upon young minds
the truth we have stated. It lie.s ai the founda
tion of all well-dwing and well being. It gives
trantjuility and pleasure to the youth just stepping
across-the threshold ot rational life, as well as to
the man whose years are beginning tO rest upon
his stooping shoulders. Be over engaged in use
ful work, if you would be happy This is a great
secret.
