POLAND. There have been so many parti-
tions, and re.partitions of Poland within the
last four ye ars, that it requires some attention
to biography and history to understand what is
meant by the term. We presume, therefore,
that the following brief sketch of the modern
history and present state of this Inflated coun.
try will at this moment prove acceptable to
our readers.
Ancient Poland was large country of Eu.
rope, lying between Germany, Russia, Turkey,
l 'n, Hsags square nsI %s: and hhI l5 600
habitants. The partition of Poland between
Russia, Austria, and Prussia, took place at
three distinct epocs, l772, 1893, and 1885 !;
and the result Of the whole was as follows

SMoKINC. Tho saliva serves the important
purpose Of mixing and preparing the food for
the stomach; hence it ought not 10 be unncc-
essarily squandered by frequent splitting. The
strange custom of smoking tobacco is on that
account extremely hurtful, as it weakons the
organs OF digestion, dcprives the body of many
useful hnids, and has direct tendency TO ema.
clate H. particularly in young persons and those
detrimental, that it promotes not only the spit.
ting Of saliva, but likewise other excavations.
The practice not only vitia,es the digestion, but
impairs the understanding, and Supplies the
powers os the mind,-Dy. Witlick.

From the Boston A4dies Maya zine.

liz Ii WI
NV Boy, as gently on my breast,
From infant sport thou sink'st to rest,
And on my hand feel thee put
In playful dreams, thy little foot.
The thrilling touch sets every string
OF my full heart quiVering;
For, All! think. what chart can show,
The ways through which this foot may go?
Its print will be- in childhood's hours,
Traced in the garden, round the flowers;
But youth will bid it leap the rills-
Battle in the dews Of distant hills
Roam DER the wales, and venture out,
When ripper years would pause and doubt,
Nor brave the pass, nor try the brink
Where youths unguarded foot may sink.
But what, when manhood tnts thy cheek,
Will be the ways this foot may seek
Is it to lightly pace the deck
To, helpless, slip from off the wreck9
Or wander DER foreign shore,
Returning to thy home no more,
Until the bosom, now thy pillow,
Is low and cold beneath the willow?
Or is it for the battles plain
Beside the slayer and the slain
Till there its final step be taken?
There, sleep thine eye, no more to waken
Is 1t to glory, or to shame
To sully, or to gild thy name
Is it to happiness or wo,
This little foot Is made to go?
But wheresoe'er its lines may fall,
Whether in cottage, or IN hall,
o, may it ever shun the ground
Where er His foot had not been found,
Who on his path below hath shed
A living light, that all may tread
Upon his earthly steps; and none
Fer dash the foot against the stone!
Yet if thy way is mark'd by fate,
AS guilty, dark and desolate,-
If thou must float, by wee and crime,
wreck, upon the stream of time,
oh rather than behold that day,
I'd know this foot, in lightsome play,
Would bound with guitless, infant glee,
Upon the sod that shelters me.

WONDERS OF PHYsIcs. What mere assertion
VIII make any man believe, that in one second Of
time, in one beat of the pendulum of clock, a
ray OF light travels over, 1872, 900 miles, and
would, therefore, perform the tour ofthe world
IN about the same time that it requires 10 wink
with our eyeds, and in much less than swift
runner occupies in taking single stride What
mortal can be made to believe, without demon.
stration, that the sun is almost million times
larger than the earth and that although so re.
mote from us, that cannon ba II. shot directly
towards it and maintaining its full speed would
be twenty years in reaching it, it yet affects the
earth by its attraction, in an inappreciable in
slant oil time? Who would not ask for demon
stratlon, when told that gnat's wing, in its or.
binary flight, beats many hundred times in a
second or that there exists animated and reg
ularly organized beings, many thousands of
whose bodies, laid close together, would rot ex-
tend an inch? But what are these to the aston
lshing truths which modern optical inquiries
have disclosed, which teaches, that every point
OF medium through which ray of light pas.
ses is affected with a succession of periodical
movements, regularly recurring, az equal inter.
walls, no less than 500 millions of millions of
times In single second that it is by such
movements, communicated to the nerves of the
eyes, that we see; nay, more, that it is the diff.
terence, IN the frequency of their recurrence,
which affects us with the sense OF the diversity
oil color that, for instance, in acquiring the
sensation of redness, our eyes are affected 462
millions OF millions Of times; of yclowishness,
Dag millions of millions of times and of violet,
1o7 millions Of millions of times per second.
DO not such things sound more like the rawlings
OF madmen than the sober conclusions Of men
IN their waking senses? They nre, nevertheless,
conclusions to which any may most certainly
arrive, who will only be at tho trouble of exam
lining the chain Of reasoning by which they have
been Obtained.-HerscheLrs Discourse.

At the peace Of Tilsit July 1902 Bona
parte stripped Prussia Of the greatest part of
her Polish possessions. OF these he gave a
small portion to Russia, and erected the rest
INTO new State called the grand dutchy Of
Warsaw, which he assigned to the King of Sax
ony. In 1909, after vanqushng Austria in the
field, he compelled her 10 cede part of Galicia
to Russia, and another part 20 his new grand
Dutchy. But all the arrangements of Bona
parte was overturned by the disastrous cam.
paign of 1912; the Russians re-occupied Pc.
land and the Congress of Vienna, while it de-
creed 10 Austria and Prussia partial restitution
of their late cession, confirmed to Russia all
the foilsh and Lithuanian provinces acquired
before 1895, comforting on her. in addition. the
sovereignty of the central provinces, which
constitute the present kingdom of Poland. Each
of the three powers was enjoined by the Con-
gress to give to its respective portion Of Poland
as free constitution as circumstances should
permit.

A HoGsTY DIsGRAcEb. The following an
ecdote is extracted from an address delivered
before the Temperance Society, in Bristol,
Comm A certain person, whose reiatiue ga We
me the information. retur ming home one even
ing intoxicated, mstook his hogsty for his dwell
ling house; and on attempting to enter it, a
little error in calculating the comparative
height of the door sill and his toes, caused him
to make speedy fall at full length within.
Instantly relieved from the burden of carrying
his head highest, he gave himself up to the full
enjoyment Of drunken inaction Startled at
his abrupt intrusion, the inmates of the sty had
made precipitate retreat to the remolest part
Of 1t; but seeing no further movement, they
began to reconnoitre the animal which had
surprised them by conduct so much more grow
elllng than their own; and, by degrees, ven-
turing to approach him, they came up around
at length, and commenced closer examination
by gently roofing him up, alternately on each
side This hosting by the swine, at length be-
came so violent as rather to disturb him: at
which time the comfortable condition in which
he imagined himself, may be conceived from
the exclamation that he sluggshIy uttered

BoTANY. There has hourished for ages i'm.
memorial in Toluca, city of Mexico, singu-
lar tree of peculiar species, the only one ever
known or heard of, and is an object Of regard
1t not OF reverence, to the natives who, impell-
ed by sort Of affection, come from considera-
BILE distances to procure its flowers which re.
semble band. The history Of this singular
tree has recently been given in work printed
at Mexico, in the Spanish language, a transla-
ton OF which has been published at Paris. The
flowers OF this unique tree, before they extend
themselves, resemble the hand Shut and after.
wards they resemble the hand open. They are
OF deep red, extremely brilliant The avidity
OF the inhabitants to procure them suffers few
to arrive ut maturity, and produce fruit. For
thus reason, sentinels are posted round the tree
in order that some of the seeds may be obtained.
Some time ago tho English Botanists sent into
Spain, visited Toluca for the purpose Of obssrv.
ing and describing this curious tree from which
they took several slips, and there is reason to
hope that it may be multiplied, and that it will
not be impossible to rear it in Europe, where it
would add to the wonders of nature which it
contains. The Mexican name Of this tree is
.NacpaleOchicquaRhih, a name perfectly de-.
scriptive, importing, "The tree whose flowers
resemble hand"
