/ they have pursued almost tic same career,
and, though resident in different States, seem
| to have gone together, filing nearly the same
public positions, and winning all hearts by the
gentle suay!ty and steady consistency of their
character and conduct. Both are stiII very
young men; and Jet il Is more than probable
| that both will, In 8 few months, rise TO the
Gube1natorial chairs of Pennsylvania, the
California ofthc Atlantic, and California, the
Pennsylvania of the Pacific The brothers al
luded to, are William and John Bigler, now
the conceded favorites for the highest honors
Of their respective States, and the admitted
choice Of the Democratic party in each. The
parallel will no doubt be completed when
each is, rs each will be, chosen to till the posts
for which they are candidates. Their past his
tory is guarantee that they will so on, with
equal march, and unfalterlng devotion, IN the
fulilment of their high duties.
There is in this picture much OF encourage
ment to the poor young man. Both OF these
Brothers Bigler started life without money,
and almost without trends. NO academic no.
nors crowned their earlier manhood-no luxu-
rious habits enervated their frames-no
wealthy friends encouraged their first essays
in life In the battle of the world they fought
with no weapons but those furnished by their
own indomitabe energies. In the struggles
for subsistence, they CLEANED more knowledge
from men than from books; while in the acqul-
son of money, came also the golden opinions
of troops of friends. Let the young man who
would despond over his own future, take heart
from this example, and try TO initiate the two
brothers-Pennsyluanian.
We would here remark, that it is not essen-
tia' to initiate them entirely to be prosperous
and great. We opine that being Wings would
not prevent them from rising equally as fast
1t is, however, encouraging to the poor youth,
no matter what his politics.

An EVIDENCE OF Ill BREEplSG-There is
no greater breach Of good manners-or, rather.
no better evidence of i'll breeding than that of
interrupting another in conversation phils
speaking-or commencing \ remark before
another has fully closed. No we'll bred person
ever does it, or continues a conversation
long with one who does. The latter often
finds an interesting conversation abruptly
closed or declined, by the former, without even
suspecting the cause. 1t is criterion which
never fails TO show the breeding Of tho indi-
yidual. A wel-bred person will not oven in
terrupt one who is in all respects greatly his
inferior. Ifyou wish to judge the good breed.
ing of a person with whom you are but slight
ly acquainted, mark such persons strictly in
this respect, and you will assuredly not be
deceived. However intelligent, fluent, easy,
or even graceful, person may appear for a
short time, if you find such individual guilty
of this practice, you will find him or her soon
prove uninteresting, inspid and coarse.

A KISS FOR BLow-George, in moment
Of passion, struck his sister in the face, but the
sister, instead of flying into a fit of anger.
threw her arms around his neck and kissed him,
saying, "Oh, brother, how could you do so!'
The poor boy was wholly unprepared for
such kind return for his blow. He could not
stand before the generous affection of his sis.
ter. His feelings were touched, and he burst
out crying.
His gentle sister took the corner of her apron
and wiped away the tears and sought to com.
fort him by saying, with endearing sweetness
and generous affection, "Don't cry, George, you
did not hurt me much" But he only wept the
more. No wonder, it was enough to max: any
body weep.
But why did George weep Poor little fe';;
low Would he have wept if his sister had
struck him as he had struck her! Not he.
But, by kissing him as she did, she made him
feel more acutely than if she had beaten him
black and blue.
Here was kiss for blow, love for anger,
and this is what is meant by overcoming evil
with good.

The EARTH's DlURsAL REvoLu11oN.-For
the first time, we yesterday, had an opportu-
nifty of witnessing the testing of the new me-
thod of proving the diurnal revolution of the
earth. The experiment can be tried at a tri-
fling outlay, and is certainly one of interest.
A gentleman in this city has suspended an or
binary clock weight BY means of a small wire,
reaching from the garret ceiling TO the en-
trance Of the passage on the first floor. IT is
thirty feet in length, and makes about twenty
one vibrations per minute. With view that
it might move with as little friction as possi-
blesa turn freely in a horizontal direction, a
steel ring with an indentated inner surface was
provided, on which plays a hardened steel
point 70 this the wire of the pendulum was
fastened. Directly under he weight, and on
the floor, is placed a circle, drawn on paper,
divided in degrees, minutes and seconds. The
pendulum was started in a straight line, appa-
rentIy, but, in the course of two hours, there
was very perceptible departure from it, for
the reason that the earth was turning round.

THE SALT LAKE.-Lieutenant Gunnson, :of
the Typographical Engineers, who has been
employed for a long time past in the survey
of the Great Basin, I'D which the Salt Lake is
situated, speaks Of, the Lake as an object Of the
greatest curiosity. The water is about one
third salt yielding that amount on boiling:
Its density is considerably greater than that Of
the Dead Sea. One can hardly get his whole
body below the surface. In sitting position
the head and shoulders will remain above the
water, such is the strength Of the brine; and
on coming to the shore the body is covered
over with an incrustation of salt in fine crys-
tails. The most surprising thing about it is the
fact that during the summer season the lake
throws on shore abundance Of salt, while in
the winter season it throws up glauber satt in
large quantities. The reason of this is left to
the scientific to judge, and also what becomes
ofthe enormous amount Of fresh water poured
into It by three or four riyers-Jordan, Bear,
and Weber-as there is no visible outlet

u The late Major Davezac stated that on
the morning after the battle Of New Orleans,
twelve broled robins were placed on the break
fast table, prepared for General Jackson and his
suite, which had been shot with rifle, through
the head, by one of the Kentucky Rif1emep,
who had been in the conflict; he had fred thir-.
teen times and missed hitting his bird in the
head only once! This circumstance being soon
known in the neighborhood, a certificate of the
fact was requested and obtained from GENERAL
Jackson and his aids, by the British Officers,
that, by such evidence, on their return to Eng
land, they might exhibit to their Government
the character of the enemy at New Orleans.

ones are ready. Then, disengaged from the
old shell, they climb up the nearest shrub. and
expand their gilded aud jeweled robes, gaze
about with admiring eyes, and are especially
and evidently wrapped up in admiration of
themselves. Theseare not the devouring To-

birds, hogs, and evenin former times at least,
by some communities of men. They are very
