AMERICAN JOURNAL OF
SCIENCE AND ARTS.

CONDUCTED BY
PROF. B. SI1.LIMAN & B. SILLIMAN, JR,
YALE COLLEGE,.
II ME Editors of this Journal, wish to call pub
Il lie attention to the fact that they will hereaf-
ter the conditions stated below frank the Nos to
all of their subscribers who receive the work direct
y from them by mail. Their object in making this
offer, is to place those persons who are so situated
that they cannot take the work through an agent,
and therefore free of charge of transportation on
the footing in this respect with city subscribers
Subscribers by mail have heretofore paid from 81 to
Sl.37 per annum for postage, which has been a SUI
cient consideration to induce many to decline taking
the work. Now that this objection is removed upon
the simple condition of punctual remittances, the
Editors confidently hope that the number of their
mail subscribers will be much increased; and they
make apology to their present supporters and con-
ribuors, for asking their assistance in aiding them
to sustain this experiment. by making this notice
more public, and by inducing their friends to sub
scribe.
Experience has proved that the mail is by far the
best means of conveyance to distant subscribers the
most sure and most speedy; and all attempts to es-
tablish agencies at distance and away from the
great lines of transportation have utterly faed-de-
lay and dissatisfaction and often abandonment of the
work being the result.
The American Journal of Science and Arts is
published at New Haven Connecticut Each num-
her contains at least 200 pages, closely and hand
somcly printed good paper, and fully illustrated
by engravings The subscription is Sc in advance,
by mail The extra dollar beyond the usual price
Of the literary quarterlies is indispensable, on ac-
count of more limited patronage, and the great,
expense of engravings.
Renittances should be made if possible in Eastern
money, but if that cannot be obtained the best bills
which can be had may be substituted, and no dis
count will be charged upon them.
Subscribers will remember the regulation of the
Post Office Department, by which Postmasters are
authorized to remit payments for periodicals free of
postage. If the letter containing the remittance is
written by themselves $500.
All letters and remittances directed to the Editors
of the American Journal of Science and Arts, New
Haven, Ct, will receive prompt attention.
N. B.-Subscribers who wish to avail themselves
Of the free postage must that their accounts are
not in arrears; when such is the fact the Editors
cannot pay the postage.
UT Advertisements are inserted OH the customary
rates. and the European circulation of the work rem
deYs it desirable vehicle for the advertisements OF
American publishers; the usual publication day is
the last Of every quarter.

INTENSITY OF CREATION. Some as
tronomers have computed that there are
not less than seventy-fve Millions of suns
in the universe. The fixed stars are all
suns, having, like our sun, numerous plan
cts revolving around them. The solar
system. or that to which we belong, has
about thirty planets, primary and second
airy belonging to it. The circular field of
space which it occupies is in diameter
5000 millions of miles, and that which it
controls much greater. The sur which is
nearest to ours is called Sirius, distant from
it about 852 millions of miles. Now, all
the fixed stars are as distant from each
other as Sirius is from our sun; or if our
solar system be the average magnitude of
all the IS millions Of suns, what imagina>
ton can grasp the immensely of creation !?
Who can survey plantation of IS mill
ions of circular fields, Zach 10 millions Of
miles in diameter !-Such, however, is
one of the plantations of Tim who has
measured the waters in the hollow of his
hand-meted out heaven with span
comprehended the duet in measure-and
weighed the mountains in scales, and hills
in balance. He who, " sitting upon the
orb. of the earth. stretches out as tent
to dwell ill.," Nations to HIM are IS as
drop of bucket, and are counted as the
small dust of balance ;" and yet. over
whelning thought He says, ..rhough
dwell in the high and holy place, with him
also will dwell who is of an humble and
acontri,e spirit, and trembles at my word!"

THE FlSMER-BOAE
bY ELIZA F. COOK.

BY ELIZA F. COOK.
No REFER struts upon her deck
No boatswain pipes her crew,
Whose rough and tarry jackets are
As often black as blue.
Her sails are torn, her timbers worn,
She's but a crazy craft,
Yet luck betides her in the gale,
And plenty crowns her draught.
Let but foe insult the land
That holds their cottage home,
And English hearts will spring from out
The merry little foam.
What, no! what, no! away they 60,
The moon is high and bright,
God speed the little fisher-boat,
And grant starry-night.
No pennant flutters at her mas,
No portfolios range her side,
A dusky spcck-she takes her place
Upon the midnight tide.
While gaily sings some happy boy,
"A life upon the sea,
With jolly mates, whiskey can,
And trusty nets for me"
But many hour Of fearful risk,
She meets upon the wave,
The ships of stout and giant form,
Would scarcely care to brave;
And many one with trembling hand
Will trim the beacon light,
And cry " Good speed the fisher-boat,
Upon stormy night"
We proudly laud the daring ones
Who cross the painless main,
The shining gems and yellow dust
Of other chimes to gain;
We honor those whose blood is with
The mingled waters found,
Who fight till death to guard the cliffs
Those waters circle round.
IT'S well: but let US not forget
The poor and gallant set,
Who toll and watch when others sleep,
To cast the heavy net.
Their perils are not paid by fame
So trim the beacon light,
And cry "God speed the fisher-boat,
And grant starry night"
