The GLOBE AND TExAs.-The Washington
Globe comes out with bold and fearless article in
favor of the annexation of Texas. This indicates
that the democratic party in Congress sre going for
Texas Indeed, from the position which Mr.. Cal
houn has taken, there is little doubt that he will
corner both parties, and compel them to show their
hands in a way little dreamed of. Things begin to
open up. What does the Evming Post, as the
organ OF the democratic party, think of its position
now?

through comets. A star of the sixth magnitude
was seen through the centre of the head of the
comet of 1898. by Sir William Hcrschcl: and in
September 1892, Sir John Herschcl, when OBJ
serving l'lcla's comet, that body pass directly
between his eye and a small cluster or knot of mi
mute tc!escopic stars of the sixteenth or seven
tecnth magnitude. This little constellation occu-
pied space in the heavens the breadth of which
did not exceed the twentieth part of the brcaitl,
OF the moon; yet the whole of the cluster was dis
t'nctly visible through the comet. "a more strik-

IMPORTANT DIsCovERY.-Our attention has been

England, which find detailed in professor
Wrlght's letters from London Wood it seems is
now converted into stone and rendered equally as
indIrate. The process is extremely simple. The
professor observes that "the pieces, after having
been htted' by the carpenter or joiner, for their
places, arc introduced into immense iron cylin-
der, which is then exhausted by an air pump. A
solution OF sulphate of iron is then injected which
immediately enters into the exhausted pores of the
wood. The wood is then withdrawn and again
placed in a similar vacuum in solution of muriate
OF lime, which, coming into contact with the sui
phate OF iron within the wood, decomposes it. and
forr"s an insolublc sulphate of lime, or gypsum.

ImE ADVANTAGES OF PoETRy.-The Rev. John
Todd has the annexed observation upon the results
OF taste for poetry. They are, we think, as
true as beautiful. A love of poesy is like the love
OF every thing that is pure and elevatng-it refnes
the character, and adds sweetness to the PASSAGE
OF life: There is in the life of almost every man. a.
period when he reads and lovesan quotes poetry.
AT first all that within his reach is food, but
as he advances his taste leads him to select with
greater care and admit but little worthy his last
ing admiration. 1t is to be regretted that poetry
is not read more through life, especially by pro-
iessonal men. Poetry is child of the skies
No" tchSn q~od non orma01. The appropriate
quotation is not the only thing that is beautiful
The mind through which poetry passes like the
clear channel in which the mountain brook runs,
seems to be beautifed by the waters that pass
through it. The young then in admitting and cul-
nvanng taste for poetry are becoming their own
benetactors, and they are putting the soul under
the guidance Of a teacher, whose voice will evo,
be as sweet as the silver trumpet and whose robes
like those of the angel and will reae.t the nnr;tv
and drop the odors Of heaven. fJ

DETERMINATION.

We never knew n man who determined TO he
something, who did not prosper in whatever he
engaged. Those who feel the almost omnipotent
power within them, and as if they felt it, never
stop by the way-ncvcr linger to doubt in fear
and dismay. With an energy that knows no
abatement and zeal which nothing qucrch,
they push on and up, until they sec the full ac-
complishment of their hopes. There are many
minds, equally gifted as Ncwton's or Lockc;s s
or Franklin's, but they neglect the means to bring
out their powers; are too lazy to exert themselves,
and therefore die, beneftting the world as little as
the brutcs
There y every thing to encourage young men to
he studiops, industrious, energetic, and pcrsever-
ing. The world is before you. There is much
to do for yourself and for others You can be-
come useful and distinguished, and secure name
that will never die. You lack nothing but a de-
termined spirit and wcll-ra;ned mind If half
the time that many squandcr in idlcness were an.
piled to the real objects of life, VIC would behold
an entirely different state of society. Upward
and onward would be the march of mind and its
healthy action would be felt i'll every department
of life.
Instead Of the growing inclination for exciting
scenes and grovcing pursuits, mankind would
study the real objects of life and each individual
would strive to make his neighbor BETTER happier,
and more intelligent.
Commence thcn young men, to lire as we'll as
stdy-to work and not lounge-to study your own
character and elevate your mind, instead of de-
baslng them in the dust. A little perseve nce--
