BURLINGTON VERMONT, FRIDAY, JANUARY ~, 1914

The meaning Of the hicroglyphics being en-
trusted to the memory was gradually and in
sensibly lost. They soon became the idle
spectators of the monumental records which
they no longer understood.
1t may even be suspected that the jeal-
ousy which must have arisen between the
college of the priests and the school of AL
1exandria efiectually prevented all literary in
tercourse and all diffusion of knowledge
The priests were an ancient royal establish
ment, and they mus, have regarded with dis
satisfaction the establishment Of the Museum
at Alexandria, where foreigners enjoyed the
avowed favor of the prince. The priests
redoubled their diligence TO conceal from the
strangers the little that they knew, and the
Greeks while they yet remained in igno-
rance, contrived to dispense with species Of
knowledge so inaccessible. Soon however
the genius and discoveries of Eratoshenes
and Timocharis gave them a reputation
which effaced that of the astronomical priests
The latter lost all public consideration and
failed not 10 be disguised with pursuit which
was 10 them no longer source of credit
They neglected 10 minister at the altar o
science and the torch of knowledge wa
soon extinguished among them.

OLD WINTER IL COMING.

Nv MISS HANNAH r. GOULD.
Old Winter is coming again, alack
How icy and cold is he!
He cares not pin for shlvenng hack,
He 'sa saucy old chap to white and black,
He whistles his rhills with wonderful knack,
For a jolly old GLOW is he
A witty old fellow this Winteris
mighty old fellow of glee!
He cracks his Jokes on the pretty sweet miss,
The wrnkly old maiden unfit to kiss,
And freezes the dew of their ps-for this
Is the way with such fellows as he
Old Winter is frolicsome blade, wot:
He is wild in his humor and free
He'll whistle along for the want OF thought
And set all the warmth of our furs at nought,
And ruffle the laces the pretty girls bought;
For frolicsome fellow is he!
old Winter is blowing his gusts along,
And merry shaking the tree!
From morning I'LL night he will sing his songi
Now moaning and short-now bowling and long :
His voice is loud, for his lungs are strong
A merry old fellow is he!
Old Winters merry old chap, ween-
As wicked as ever you'll sec!
He Nrithes the flowers SO fresh and green,
And bites the pert nose of the miss of SIXTEEN
As she hippanty walks in madenly sheen
wicked old fellow is he!
Old Winters tough old fellow for blows
As tough as ever you'll see
He'll trip up your trotters, and your CLONES,
He minds not the cry of his friends or his foes;
A driving old fellow is he!
A cunning old fellow is Winter they say
A cunning old fellow is he
He peeps in the crevces day by day,
To see how we are passing our time away,
And mark oil our dongs, from grave TO gay
I'm afraid he is peeping me!

EUROPE-HER DEBTS.

The debts OF Europe, is the subject of an
interesting article in late number of Hunts
Magazine. From this it appears that every
nation in Europe, without exception, is heav-
lily in debt. Each Of the petty German
States pays large amount of interest. The
aggregate of the debts of the ,hirty-nine SOW
ereigntles is 1O,499,7 100000 German dol
lars, equal 50 cents of our currency. The
English debt swallows up in interest, more
than one half of the revenue out of which il
is to be supporled.-Debt about $500, OOO,-
OOO-interest f2S,O00,0O0 a year. Ii
would require ten millions year for eighty
years to pay the principal of this immense
debt. We extract from the full table the fol-
lowing estimates Of the debts Of the larger
pOwers:
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1844-01-12
Average OF debt 10
each inhabltInt

How is it possible for the Government OF
Europe with such mass of debts upon their
shoulders to adopt system of free trade p
Ia addition to the payment of the annual in
terest on the above ten and half million of
dollars, the current expenses for the support
Of royalty and the armies and raves by
which it is everywhere upheld, call for much
larger revenue than can be raised by any
system of direct taxation alone. How abb
surd then to suppose that they will admit the
productions of American industry to be con-
sumed on The payment of less tax than what
is imposed upon the products of their own
home industry. Will they love foreigners
better than themselves.

THE ASTRONOMY OF THE EGYP
TIANS.
by PROF. EDWARD TURNER.

The Egyptians were acquainted with the
roundness of the earth, the cause of the pha-
ses and of the cclipses of the moon. 1t is
even asserted that they accurately predicted
those cclipses as well as oclipses of the sun.
Yet ThaIes, who acquired of them the art of
making such calculations, was not remarka-
bly, skilfu in this respect, so that We must
conclude, either that the teachers were igno.
rant or that The pupil has done them little
credit. A great number Of observations is
attributed to them, viz. 373 eclipses of the
sun, and 832 eclipses Of the moon. This is

| After long cessation in our correspondence,
am again induced to give you short sketch from
this fair land of flowers, sand, fever, and excite.
ments.
The public has been unusually "srred up" by
the trials OF various criminals before the Superior
Court Of Franklin County, now in session, Judge
Carmack on the bench. The most important has
been the case OF slave tor sabbing. The boy IN
Jured WAS Il valuable slave, and came near dying
from the effect of injuries received. true bill
was found against the agressor, and upon trial he
was sentenced 10 receive one hundred stripes
The owners OF the criminal entered arrest OF
judgment, and so the case stands at this moment.
He is to be tried upon another lndictmt for ear
rying secret arms the weapon used was dirk
knife.
Another case was the trial OF George Holmes,
indicted for embeZzement OF goods from the stores
OF B. s. Hawiey, and Whitmarsh u Richardson
guilty, and received the sentence, viz; to stand In
the pillory hour, and receive sixiy-our sifpes
on the bare back. was present AT the lnilicnop
of portion Of the whipping, but such mode Of
dealing out punishment 10 my mind appeared too
revolving.
Much excitement prevails even now, in conse
quence OF the stay oi proceedings IN the case OF The
negro, and such prompt punishment in the case Of
Holmes After the conclusion OF The punishment
sub scripiiou made up to delray Holmes pas
sage to New York, or some other northern city.
