Past and Present.

A good many years ago one of the toughest and hardest riders that crossed Leicesiarshre un- dertook to perform a feat which. just for the mo- ment attracted the general attention not only of the country but of the sporting world. His bet was, that if he might choose his own turf, and if he might select as many thorough bred horses as he liked. he would undertake 10 ride 900 miles in ten hours. r.+.. .-....
 The newspapers of the day described exactly how "the squire was dressed-what he had been living on-how he ooked--how, at the word " .4,cay IS he started like arrow from a bow--how ealianily Tranby his favorite racer, stretched himself in his gallop--how, on arriving at his second horse, he vaulted from one saddle to another-how he then
 few over the surface of the earth if possible faster than before--and how. to the astonishment and amidst the acclamations of thousands of spectators he at last came ina winner!
 Now, if al this moment of his victory, while with dust and precipitation on his brow--hs exhausted arms dangling just above the paniing Hanks Of his horse. which his friends at each side of the bridle were slowly leading in triumph-a decrept old woman had hobbied forward, and. in the name of Science, had told the assembled multitude that, be- fore sbe became skeleton, she and her husband would undertake, instead of 200 miles in ten hours to go 500that is to say, that for every mile the squire I" had just ridden, she and her old man would go two miles ana a half-that she would moreover knit all the way, and that he should take his medi- cine every hour and read to her just as if they were at home; lastly, that they would undertake to per. form their feat either in darkness or n daylight in sunshine in storm, in thunder lightning, or in rain"-who, we ask, would have listened 10 the poor maniac Land yet how wonderfully would her prediction have been fulfilled! f

 Worn and brown; ...--.. Aud the types unceasing click, As they drop within his stick, Seems of Life's old clock the tick
 Running down. .at Years, years away have flown, af And the printer long I've known, s.-,
 Boy and man; Time was when step elate Distinguished his gait, And his form was tall and straight
 We now scan. ..,. You could see him every day, .ase As he passed on his way .....
 To his toil; He laborcd might and main, A living scant to gain. rrr And some interest small attain l..
 In the soil. And hope was high at first, And the golden cheat he nursed
 Till he found That hope was but glare In cold and frosty air, And the promise, pictured fair,
 Barren ground. He ne'er was reckon bad. But I've seen him smile right. glad
 At leadef " woes, While a cOrrespo nding frown Would spread his features round, .-zg Where virtues praise did sound,
 If 'twere close" Long years he's labored on, The morning hues are gone
 From his sky; For others are his hours, ...- For others are his powers, And his days, like passing showers, ''e Fitting by. You can see him. night by night, By the lamps duli, dreary light,
 Standing there, t7a With cobwsb curtains spread ,... In festooDs OCT his head, That sooty showers shed
 In his hair. And when the waning moon Proclaims of night the noon,
 If you roam, You may see him, weak and frail, As his weary steps do fail, ln motion like the snail,
 Vending home. His form by years is bent, To his hair tinge is lent
 Sadly grey; e And his teeth are sore decayed, And his eyes their trust betrayed Great havoc Time has made
 With his clay. But soon will come the day When his form will pass away
 From your view And the spot shall know no more The sorrows that he bore, Or the disappointments sore
 That he knew. Path Finder.

 Some modern philosophers, it will be seen by the following extract. believe that there is great prs ciple Of reproduction, or, in oihei words, that by undergoing certain operations objects whith have yielded to decay nay be made to their orig inal form.
