Distonce of the Sm..-Imagine a railway
from here to the sum- How many hours is the
sun from US! Why, if we were to send a baby
in an express train, going incrssantly hundred
miles an hour, without making. any stoppages,
the baby would grow to he boy-.the boy
would grow to be a man-thc man would grow
old and die-without seeing the sun, for it is
distant more than hundred years from u.s.
But what is this compared to Neptuue's dis
tance! Had Adam and Eve started, by our
railway, at the creation, to go from Neptune
to the Sun, at the rate Of fifty miles an hour,
they would not have been there vet; Neptune
is more than six thousand years from the centre
of our system. Household Words.

Enough of love for one who needs protection,

Should e'er meet with such in my connection,
Let him propose, I'll offer no objection.

GtA young American gentlemen "a
Mr.. P--who is visiting Paris with
the "old iolks") went to u masked bali
to see the elephant, and to have some
fun. His great desire was TO meet an
angel of the iair sex. He 6rst looked
all around, waiting TO make II decision
the moment he should find fine waist
and small feet. These beauties he dis
covered in dominion of small figure,
who took his arm, and began to inlrl
que with INN. The lady told hin his
name, the city of the United States
from whcn he was, and, all these pre-
lin .narirs, she related to him many hrt-
iny excursions which he had made last
year at Saratoga, and Newport All
these things, whispered in good Eng
lish, were very puzzllng to Mr.. p;
and in order to fnd out who wac his
fair companion, he invited her to supper
in a private cabinet. The lady first re-
fused hut alter some time she consent
ed, and the couple started ina carriage
for the well known restaurant OF Vach-
cite, where all the Americans take their
meals. A cabinet was opened, the pc
m soup was ordered aud when they came
10 eat IL, the lady WAS obliged TO take
of her mask. Mr.. P--discovered
in her - whom Guess il. You give
il up1-Yes. She was his mother -
She was his mother! The romance
was over, and he took the joke the best
way he could. Mrs P---is one Of
the prettiest women in Paris and no one

b aury OF her charms would suppose
that she had u son twenty hree years

RoB N SToRY. We heard story Of
the performance of robin in the gar
den Of one Of our clizens on Friday
last, which interested US not little, in
asmuch as the little creature and his
mate exhibited "A sagacity, amounting
to human reason. The incident occurr-
ed IN the garden of Mr.. Joha Bromham,
which is large one, reaching from his
house IN Olive street over TO Warren
street. While he was attending 70 some
part Of it, near his house, a robin flew
about him apparently in great excite
ment. He took but little notice of il at
first; but the bird pcrsevered in ev-
cry effort TO attract his attention, and
was soon successful.
Mr.. d. remembered that there was a
robins nest in IL tree at the end of the
garden, and thought there might be
some trouble there, and started in that
direction. The bird accompanied him,
keeping close by hi. side, chattering vi
olently all the way. On approaching
the nest he found the female bird equal
ly agiiated, aud OH taking deliberate OBJ
servaton, discovered u very young rob.
in sitting on The high fence, and cat
below, intensIy watching it, aud ready
to pounce upon 1t on the failure Of lis
attempt to reach the tree. Mr.. b. drove
away the cat, when the two birds ill
stantly came to the assistance Of their
young one, encouraged ii to try it's new
hedgcd wings Tor the tree, which it did,
and safely reached It's nest to the great
apparent delight OF the whole icatlcred
family. The bird had seen enough OF
Mr.. Is. to know that he would not injure
it or its progeny 1t knew that he could
protect them, and knew how to attract
his attention and lead him 10 the scene
OF danger, and it knew that it would
not be safe for it to encourage its young
one to make any effort to reach the tre,, ,
while the dreaded enemy was below,
ready TO spring upon it in case of It's
failure. Is not all this very near akin
to human reason IN H. Palladium.

A SLAVE CAsr ~ CLrvELAsp.-The
Cleveland Herald Of May 3lsl, has the
following account Of slaves refusal TO
leave her mistress -
Yesterday Miss Minor, a lady from
Louisiana, who in company with her
uncle was stopping at the New Eng
land, was cited to appear before Judge
Atkins to show cause why she restrain
cd the liberty Of Mary Bryant, a slave
woman who was with her, Miss Min
or did no, appear but said Mary was at
liberty to go where she pleased. The
Judge declared Mary free, but she i'll
sisted on going back TO her mistress
whom che had attended from infancy
The coloreJ people who had been ac-
i've IN the matter were exceedingly
chagrined at this result.
We were no, present, but are inform
ed ,ha, the Judge wasted much breath
in expatiaring to the servant on the
blessings of that freedom which she did
not seem to desire, and in persuading
her to profit by his decision.
At evening the New England Omni-
hus conveyed Miss Minors family and
Mary Bryant, to the Empire State. -
A crowd Of negroes, some Of whom had
been heard TO say that the slave should
not leave the city, gathered about the
gangway, and, as she attempted to pass
on board one Of them caught her by
the dress. Mr.. Clark Warren, Deputy
Marshal, ordered him TO dcsst, and fear
ing the "cane" he did so, and she went
on board. A stout negro then stepped
forward and said, 'you are an officer OF
tho law, this is the law Of the land, but
there is law Of God" "Yes," replied
Clark, land if you don't leave this spot,
| you u feel the gra. e Of God over your
head from my cane" The advocate ol
"higher law" moved his boots speedily.
MIR. Minot rendered Mr. Warren an
eagle for The service rendered, which,
as he had only done what Cleveland Of
fcers always will do-protected stran-
\ gers from annoyance and insult, was
very properly declined. The Empire
State proceeded on her way with the
woman who had the good sense to pre-
fer the guardianship OF those who had
been always kind, to the col charities
of those whose professions would fur
nish but scanty raiment, food or comfort
