ULTIMATE DISSOLUTION OF THE
SOLAR SYSTEM.

The idea of the ultimate dissolution of
solar system has usually been felt as pain
ful, and forcibly resisted by philosophers
When Newton saw no end to the derang-
ing effect of the common planetary pertur-
bations, he called for the special interfer-
Ience of the Almighty to avert the catastro-
phe ;sand great was the rejoicing when that
recent analysis described a memorable
power of conservation in our systems con-
stituent phenomena but, after all, why
should it be painful? Absolute permanence
is visible nowhere around US; and the fact
of change, merely intimales that, in the ex-
haustless womb Of the future, unenvolved
wonders are in store. The phenomena re-
ferred to, would simply point to The close
of one mighty circle nthe history OF the
solar orb-the passing away of arrange
ments which have fulfilled their objects,
that they might be transformed into new.
Thus is the periodic data of plant per-
haps the essential to its prolonged life;
and when the individual dies and disap-
pears, fresh and vigorous forms spring
from theeelements which composed It,
Mark the chrysalis 1t is the grave of the
worm, but the cradle of the unborn insect.
The broken bowl will yet be healed and
beauiifed by the potter, and voice of
joyful note will awaken one day even the ST.
lence ofthe urn! Nay what though ALL shall
pass1 What tho the close of this epoch IN
the history of the solar orb, should be ac-
companicd, as-seme by a strange fondness
have imagined, by the dissolution and dis
appearing Of all those shining spheres.
Then would our universe not have failed
in its function, but only been gathered up
and rolled away, these functions being
complete. That gorgeous material frame
work whcrewith the Eternal hath adorned
and varied the abysses OF space, Is only an
instrument by which the myriads of spirits
borne upon its orbs, may be told Of its orr
yin, and educated for more exalted being;
and time may come when the veil can be
drawn asidewhen spirit shall converse
directly with spirit; and the creature gaze
without hindrance, on the effulgent face
of its CREATOR; but even then-no, not in
that manhood of full maturity Of being, will
our fretted vault be forgotten, or its pure
inhabitants permitted to drop away. Their
reality may have passed, but their remem-
brance will live forever. The tenderer
and more hall owed, that the grave has,en-
closed and embalmed their objects; and no
height OF excellence; no extent OF future
greatness, will obscure the vividness of
that frail but loved fancy, in which,as now,
we walked upon this beauteous earth, and
fondly gazed upon these far-of orbs, deem
ing that they whisper from their bright
abodes, the tidings of mans immortal des-
tiny.

LAWS OF HONOR.

A duel was some years since fought at
Starsbourg between two ladies, one French
and the other German, on quarrel about
miniature painter. The combatants met,
pistol in hand, and each attended bysa female
second. The German was furious, and
insisted on fighting muzzle to muzzle; but
the French woman, regulating her conduct
by the advice of her second, stood out for
25 PAGES. They fired together, and miss
ed. The German then insisted on their
approaching, and firing until either fell.
The seconds, however, now interposed,
and declaring that the laws of honor were
satisfied, took away the pistols, and the al
fair ended; but without any apology. The
fair French woman, before leaving the
ground, handsomely professed herself not
actuated by any personal hostility; s'she
had thought it due to her honor to take a
shot with the German, but now that the af-
fair was at an end, the lady was welcome
to the miniature painter, whom she had
forbidden her presence that very NOR
mng."

"HIeu LIVING AND MEAN rHINKINc.-

." -
''HIGH LIVING AND MEAN THINKING
How much nicer some men are in their
persons than in their minds. How anx-
ious to wear the appearance of wealth and
taste in the things of outward show, while
their minds and hearts are poverty and
meanness. See one of the apes Of fashion,
with his coxcombries and ostentation Of
luxury. His clothes must be made BY the
best tailor, bis wines of the finest flavor,
bis cookeries of the highest zest; but his
reading is of the poorest frivolities, or Of
the lowets vulgarity. In the qualification
of his moral sense, he is an epicnre; but
a pig is clean feeder, compared with his
mind. A pig would eat good and bad.
sweet and foul alike, but his mind has no
taste except for the most filthy garbage.
The pig has no discrimination, and and a
great appetite; but the mind which we
describe is satisfied with little, and that
must be ofthe worst kind.
If we could see mems minds as we see
their bodies,what spectacle Of make edness,
destitution and deformity we should be-
hold How fallen--how degraded.

SCRAPS FOR THE CURIOUS.

The PooI.s OF SOLOMON These large,
strong and noble structures, in land
where every work Of art has been hurried
to destruction, remain now almost as per-
feet as when they were built. There are
thre of them, about 4S0 600, and 600
feet in length, and 208 in breadth, and OF
different attitudes; the water from the first
running into the second, and from the Sec
ond into the third. AT about one hundred
yards distance is the spring which supplies
the reservoirs. as the monks say the SCALED
fountain referred to in the cantcles Iv.12.
The water from these reservoirs is convey
ed to Jerusalem by small aqueduct a
round earthen pipe about 10 inches in dI-
ameter, which follow all the sinuosities of
the ground, being sometimes under It's
easily broken; and while was in Jerusa-
lem, an accident happened which entirely
cut off the water from these pools. There
is every reason to believe that these pools
have existed from the date assigned to
to them and that this was the site OF one OF
king Solomon's houses of pleasure, where
he made himself s'gardens and orchards,
and pools of water" The rain here ceased
for few moments, and enabled me to
view them at my leisure and as | walked
along the bank or stood ON the rnargin,for
descended the steps to the waters edge, It
seemed almost the wild suggestion OF a
dream, TO imagine that the wisest of men
had looked into the same pool, and strolled
along the same bank, and stood on the very
same steps. 1t was like annihilating all
the intervals of time and space. Solomon

Mourn VERNON. Mount Vernon, the
celebrated seat of President Washington,
is pie asantly situated on the Virginia bank
of the river Potomac, where it is nearly two
miles wide, and is about 2S0 miles from the
sea, and 1877 from Point Look Out, at the
mouth ofthe river, 1t is nine miles below
Alexandra. The area Of the mount is 200
feet above the surface of the river. On
either wing, is thick grove of different
Towering forest trees. Parallel with them,
on the land side, are two spacious gardens,
into which one is led by the serpentine
gravel walks, planted with weeping willows
and shady shrubs. The mansion house
itself appears venerable and convenient.
A lofty portico, 96 feet in length, support
ed by eight pillars, has pleasing effect
when viewed from the water, the whole as
'semblage of the green house, school house,
offices, servants, aud halls, when seen from
the land side bears resemblance to a rural
village; especially as the lands on that side
are laid out somewhat in the form of Eng
lish gardens, i'm me adows and grass grounds,
ornamented with little copses, circular
clumps, and single trees. A small park on
the margin of the river, where the English
fallow deer and the Americanwild deer are
seen through the thickets, alternately with
the vessels as they are sailing along, add a
romantic and picturesque appearance to
the whole scenery. Such are the philo-
sophie shades, to which the late command
er in chief ofthe American armies and the
first President of the United States retired,
from the tumutuous scenes OF busy
world.
