Getting into the Pictures.

Yesterday, 4 tall stout good looking

having under one arm n bundle of ory-
goods, and tucked under the other apparent
ly, a young wife, walked up from the Hi
nois ferry boat and came to halt opposite

The pictures strung along the walls attract
ed the attention of both. The girl had a
bran, span new white muslin on: string
of blue beads encircled her 1--WE wont say

by the kiss of sol 1--WE don't mean our cold

features; feather fan hung suspended by
q red ribbon from her arm, and from be-
meath her dress peeped opt a shoe of white
kid, which, to all appearances, had foot in
it, and as to finish the tout assemble, pair
Of pantaletts hung gracefully around her
ankles. The arm and hand to which the
fan was suspended, ever and anon convey
ed to the bride S mouth-we insist that she
was bride-an apple! She handled the
fruit naturally, and as her pretty little pleas
ed mouth took it in, she chuckled at the
pictures!"
'Jake," said she after examining the
'hull on 'em," ''here's two pictures jest
like US when you got so mad about Charley
Delsy comm to see me.'
"Where is they?" enquired Jake.
"Why them," replied his spouse; "then7
as is got the lovers quarrel written under
one, and the reconciliation under the other

MISCELLANEOUS.
PARsoy ANDERSON AND His SON,
OR PREACHING AGAINST PRACTICE.

OK, RREACHlNu AudAA>oA Ia AAA3'
Il was a clear, frosty Thanksgiving day,
The clock upon certain 2vlilage church
.ol,ed forth the hour Of eleven as the Rev.
Jacob Anderson glanced into pocket mir
ror to assure himself that his person and
face were in prayerful trlm--slowly ele-
waited his portly figure from behind the
crimson velvet hangings of a high and
somewhat antique pulpit-took one solemn
and deliberate view of the thinly scattered
out his long sharp fea-
lures to still greater length-raised his
eyes imploringly to Heaven-spread out
his thin, soft white hands, us if to embrace
n the arms of his paternal love the few
representatives Of his numerous fold, and IN
adeep and thrilling tone, uttered the words,
"Let US pray" t
With q simultaneous movement the con-
rr.ratien arose and bent their heads rever-
ently to unite with their pastor IN that
PRAYER which Immediately precedes the
sernnon-a sermon in which it was suPpo-
sed that he would exert the utmost power
of his eloquence in his fervent pleading
with the Almighty.
Parson Anderson commenced: his deep
bass voice resounded through his almost
vacant church like the subdued peals oi
distant thunder. In long accustomed and
well-measured terms he describes the high
nndsholy object of their adoration; expires
sed the most unbounded gratitude for the
privilege Of again offering up their hearts
sincere devotions-imploring the DIVINE
blessing upon christians throughout th'
world, but especially upon those OF his owl
.aoek--invoked wisdom and strength to-
-ahe. rulers OF -four beloved and highly en-
.lishtenea and"-desired that the. gosPe
t,aewseof salvsaion might be spread amonl
= .siae aslares of this free and noble country
-andqmost earnestly besought the Lor'
TO visit with mercy and retributIye justice
The haunts Of poverty, degradation ana vice
with which our cities abound.
Here the Reverend gentleman pause
from pure necessity; his voice in the eS
citement Of the hour had forgotten its sol
ann and legitimate bass, and ascendin
atep by step-as if, during the prayer, tn
Ilmiehty Ear had receded farther and fa
.her from the mouth of the pleader-h
Ind mt length terminated beautiful rount
ID ,aantence in sharp shrill scream. Her
os we remarked, he paused, inhaled OF
long, full breath, and with canorle
1potless purity, removed the perspirnsie
from his wrinkled brow. And ne procee
ed:.. zr - z.
awe bless thy name, Q Lord, that am
The. numerous bounties of thy Provldenc
ne are. not forgotten; upon this day espet
,llu nnen our hearts to feel for the sufe
ings Of the poor, the sick and the forsakt
incline. US to seek them in their ov
homes, to relieve their distress, to conso
the mourner,e TO clothe the naked, to te
the hungry, to smile upon the effects
thy compassion, Q Lcrd, and to share eq',t
+: Ia Nth them The lururies ,Ohich th's a.

ImmenSity of the Universe.

The following is abridged from report
furnished to Paris Institute by Mr.. Arago.
1t shows in brief space, the wonderful
immensity of the Universe.
In the northern hemisphere, 3,400 stars
are visible to the naked eye. Tho num-
ber ofstars of the second magnitude are
triple those Of tho third, the first triple
those of the second, and so on to the four
teenth magnitude, which the most powerful
instrument renders visible.
1.-THE number of stars at the first magni-
tude, is l3, and of the 14th, 20 millions,
and if we add to these the IL and l3 mag
nitude, it makes 43 millions Of stars Her
schell in the knee Of Orion, band of Is
degrees long degrees wide. counted 5O,-
900 stars, anG as that band is only the
376.h part Of the heavens; so the entire
surface contains 6s,755,OOO visible with
the telescope; but our class only reach the
least remote, there must be above 145, ,572,-
200 stars; and our sun is only one of them;
the mass Of our earth is but the 355th
million part of that one sun, and we are
but an atom in relation to our earth.
Stars of the first magnitude. in both hem
ispheres are 1S, the 9th order were the
last visible to the ancients by the naked
+eye-in our day it is the 7th.
| There are stars whose distance is 600
times greater than those visile to the nakec
eye.
Light with the velocity of II, 900 leagues
a second, takes three years to reach us froa
the nearest stars, and the farthest 900 time
more, so their light does not reach US unit
after 2,700 years. .------- ID
The number Of stars visible by means
of telescope of 20 feet, focal distance
may be more than 800 millions.

Friendship.

True friendships is the soul of bliss,
The wealth of man below; -
How worthless gold, compar'd with this,
To buy relief from woe. ~f
It fingers round the bed of death
With sympathizing care,
And when our partners lose their breath
It still will linger there.
Ger the dark graveit spreads its wings
: Is tn the last day shalt come '.'Ss ?
Welcome to life, again she sings,
And bears us from the tomb.
IT'S her unearthly voice [ hear
Like angel music sweet
" "Thy crown is come-there is no fear,
Be robed like Christ complete
