/ York requires that all road-overseers should
cause these to be thrown from the road once
a month, but it is rarely observed 1t is be-
lieved that if this were strictly attended to,
and our roads kept smooth, wagons and car
riages wonld last double the time they now
do, to say nothing Of the discomfort Of being
thoroughly Jared thousand times day,and
the rack to horses, harness and merchandise.
A single stone, against which every passing
vehicle thumps Ikea sledge, may alone cost
hundred dollars year by broken or shat
tered wagons.
The property invested in wagons in the
state of New York alone, is probably not less
than ten million dollars. Ii by keeping the
roads smooth, by the removal Of stones, this
enormous sum would need renewing only
once in twenty-five years, instead Of once in
twelve years as now, would it not be an Geo.
nomical operation ?
If a hundred thousand farmers in the state
do fifty dollars worth of teaming on the road,
each, per annuin, the yearly aggregate would
be FIVE millions. II their loads could be
doubled, by making al the roads nearly lev
Ell, would not the clipping off Of few far
mcrs' fields for the passage OF the road, be a
matter Of strict economy to individuals,a we'll
aS a great public benefit?
If besides, by all these Improvements, bring
ing farms virtually nearer market and all 9TH
err places of business, the price Of land should
rise, as it certainly would at least to some ez-
tent, who would be the losers ?--Albdny Cul-

This charming lady author has recently
contributed to the Lady's Book some Of the
most brilliant and beautiful sketches which
that or any magazine, has brought before the
public. Among the benefits for which we
consider the community as beholden to us as
the principal we regard the introduction,
through our columns, Of this gifted and flsci-

of wit, and elegance, and taste. In the char
acter of regular contributor to the Ma

give expression to the high admiration which
we entertain for the talents and accomplish
ments of this remarkable young lady,
Sprghtliness of temper and the natural Vi
vacity of girlhood, will produce compositions
which may strike and amuse but tits impos-
sible to mistake for the results of such iniiu-
ences, that sustained fervor Of Imagination,
that glow Of poctical feeling, that quick and
ceaseless play of fancy with the forms Of
thought, which give force and richness and
golden lustre to the writings Of Grace Green

From the Scientific American.
The Distance TO the Sun.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is unquestionably the
generally received opinion that the distance
to the sun from our earth is 95,000,000 of
miles. This is one of the greatest errors
among the many in the Copernican system of
Astronomy. That the sun is 95,000,000 of
miles from US, and forms radius line Of that
immense distance, and we, as the inhabitants
Of this globe do revolve about the sun six
times as far, making 570,000,000 Of miles in
the time of365 Ia days, is most certainly one
of the greatest humbugs in this modern age.
Y ct this doctrine is taught in our schools, and
propagated by the most learned in the cole
ges 1t is estimated in DabolPs Arithmetic
that it would take cannon ball over thirty
two years to fly from our earth to the sun
moving at the rate of a mile in l-2 seconds.
Yet we to revolve round the sun, must 90 six
times as far IN one year; consequently more
TIM 1873 times as fast as cannon ball at It's
first discharge. As geometrician, surveyor,
NAVIGATOR and astronomer, with much practi-
cal life, and by many figures and lines, lven-
ture to proclaim that man cannot be found on
Gods globe who can determine, by figures
& lines, that the sun measures in distance any
more than So 900 miles from the center of our
earth to her center in the system. In meas
urng the distance to the sun, astronomers
have substituted the diameter of the supposed
circuit of our earth about the sun for base
line from which to measure the distance to the
sun. apprehend that it is upon this false
supposition the whole of the Copernican sys-
TEN rests. How, in reason can base line
100000 900 of miles be instituted from which
to measure the distance of the sun, when we
have, in reality, base line of only 1900 miles,
according to clock motions for the diameter of
our earth from which to measure the distance
of the sun as an inaccessible object ? We
have a base line of 1900 miles only, and lines
of observation made on the rising and setting
sun, $50 degrees apart on the equatorial line,
must decline to the centre of our earth miles
to every degree at sea, according to practical
navigation, thus guaging the lines Of observa-
ton to the tangent line of our earth on the
centre of the sun. Consequently when the
lines Of observation have been extended fare
nough to eXtinguish the base Of the earth, the
distance to the sun must be determined, which
is precisely $4,000 miles from the centre of
our earth to her centre in the system. Upon
this false supposition then, that we have 190,-
100000 of miles of base line by which to
measure the distance to the sun, the whole of
the Copernican system rests, This 100000
900 of miles is what the editor Of the Herald,
or one of his writers, calls the pocket rule, by
which to measure the distance Of the stars and
reduces it to apoint Of space. Will some one
among the Copernicans please solve, fairly and
irrefutably, the distance to the sun, and pub
lish the same in this paper.

Give me back my Husband !!
BY ELIHU BURRITT.

Not many years since young married
couple from the far, 'far fast anchored isle, ,
sought our shores with the most sanguine al
ticipations Of prosperity and happiness. They
had begun to realize more than they had seen
| in the visions Of hope, when in an evil hour,
the husband was tempted g to look upon the
wine when it was red" and to taste of il
" when it gives its color in the cup" The
charmer fastened around its victim all the
serpent spells of his sorcery, and he fell and
at every step of his raSld degradation, from
man to the brute, and downward, a heart
string broke in the bosom Of his compan.
( ion
Finally with the last spark Of hope flick
crlng on the altar of her heart, she threaded
! her wayinto one Of those shambles whe re
man is made such thing as the beasts of the
field would below at. She pressed her way
through the bacchanalian crowd who were
4 revealing in their own ruin. With her bosom
full of that that perilous stuff that prcys up
on the heart" she stood before the panderer Of
her husbands destiny, and exclaimed in tones
ofstartling anguish, Give me back my hus-
6and~
There's your husband" said the man as he
pointed towards the PROSTATE wretch
That my husband! What have you done
to him ? That mn husband! What have you
done to that noble form, thatonce, like a gi-
ant oak, held its protecting shade over the
fragile form that chung to it for support and
shelter That my husband With what
torpedo chill have you touched the sinews of
that manly arm? THAT ny husband -
What have you done to that noble brow,
which he once wore high among his fellows
as if he bore the superscription of the God
head THAT mig husband! What have you
done to that eye, with which he was wont
" to look erect on heaven" and see in his
mirror the image of his god ? What Egyp-
ian drug have you poured into his VEINS, and
turned the ambling fountains of his heart in
to black, bitter and burning pitch? Give me
back my husband Undo your baslisk
spells, and give me back the man that stood
with me at the altar
The ears of the rumseller, ever since the
first demijohn fthat burning liquid was open
ed upon our shores, have been saluted at ev-
cry stage ofhis traffic, with such appeals as
this. Such wives such widows, and mothers,
such fathers, and fatherless as never mourn
ed in Israel at the massacre of Bethlehem, or
at the burning of the Temple, have cried in
his ears morning, night, and evening, Gire
me bach my husband GiUe me back my
,fthler Gice me back my boy! Gioe me
back my brother p'
But has the rumseller been COMPOUNDED or
spcechless at these appeals? No not he.
He could show his credentials at moments
notice, with proud defiance. He always car
ried in his pocket awritten absolution for all
that he had DONE and could do, in, his work
ofdestruction He had bought letter Of IN
dill1ence--T mean a license la precious in
strument signed and sealed by an author

And ape tie vice we disestcenl.
Thank God for toll, for hardship, whence
Come courage, patience, hardlhood,
And for that sad experience
Which leaves our bosom5 flesh and blood
Which leaves us tears for others woe!
Brother in toll respect myself;
And let thy stcadfast virtues show
That man is noblsr far than polf
Thanl, God for toll; nor fear the face
OF wealth and rank: fear only sin,
That blight which mars ali outward grace,
And dims the light of peace within!
Give me thy hand, my brother, give
Thy hard and toll stained hand to me;
We are no dreamers, we shall live
A brighter better day to see
