wonder Of the Heavens.

Sir John Herschell, in his Essay on the
power of the telescope to penetrate into
space, says there are stars so infinitely re-
mote, as to be situated at the distance OF
l2 millions of millions of millions of miles
from our earth; so that light, which travels
with the velocity Of twelve millions of miles
in a minute, would require two millions of
years for its transit from those distant orbs
to our own; while the astronomer, who
should record the aspect Of mutations Of
such star, would be relating, not its his
tory at the present day, but that which
took place two millions Of years gone by.
What is our earth in space so almost in
finitel and still more, what is man, that he
should be the special object for regard to
the Infinite Author Of this system Of worldsl

Temperanee and Politics.

The Saturday Express, published at Lam
caster city, Pa, says:
Our reform is turning politics upside
down. No party knows any more where it
stands. When it thinks itself right side up,
it finds itself in a contrary predicament.
Party leaders who will not attend to the
indications of the times, and in their Romi.
nations run counter to public sentiment,
must expect to be defeated. The day is
past when liquOr-sellers, drunkards, or men
totally destitute of moral principles could
be elected to Office of trust and power.
Which ever party nominates the best men
will henceforward be In the ascendant.
There is no use Of fretting and fuining
about it, for intempcrance is being driven
out of politics, if drunkard making does

GREAT REDUCTION IN CANAL ToLLs.--The
Board of Public Works have reduced the tolls
on all articles from Cincinnati to Dayton to the
uniform rate Of two mills per mile and to one
half mill from Dayton tO. Cincinnati. The tolls
were previously six to ten mills per miles from
this city to Dayton, and three to four mills from
Dayton down. This change will make df-
ference in the freight on barrel of flour from
Dayton to e ncinnati Of fourteen cents per
barrel, aud in equal proportion on other arti.
cles. The change in the price Of freight on
Groceries, Iron, Manufactures, &c, going up is
also great and the benefit to the trade Of Gin
Cinnati will be immense.

Ma. EDITOR did you ever see the pic
ture Of Don Quixotte armed cap a pie for an
attack on windmill : If so you may have
feint conception of the appearance of one
of our Legislators as represented above.
The Honorable gentleman had left his con-
stituents for the Capitol city before the
fountain of the great deep" of the peO-
Ple's sympathies had been agitated by ap-
peals for the Maine Law, and knowing that
his county'abOunded in corn and whisky" !"
he had no hesitation in defining his posi-
tion on tbe measure As soon as It was intro
duced.
His constituents needed no one to dictate
to them what they should eat or drink.
No petitions for the Maine Law had dis
turbed his repose he was sure he should
avoid both the Scylla and Charybdis of this
"vexed question" But the serenest sky
is often the precursor of the most terrible
storm.
The peoples gathering on the memorable
2jth of February came, and score Of the
Honorable gentlemans constituents present
ed themselves to their representative with
petitions signed by large majority of the
voters of his county, asking for the Maine
Law. The Honorable presented the peti
tions, but in the midst of so much noise
and confusion" that his previous calm rea.
son was greatly disturbed.
It was soon noticed that his seat was
vacated, but for what purpose conjecture
was at fault. An hour afterwards, the scene
represented above was observed in the
Main street, of Columbus, which could not
be fully appreciated without being wit
messed. The Honorable member, aforesaid,
was mounted on horse most ridiculously
caparisoned, with his own outer garments
in admirable keeping his countenance ex-
pressive of the deep anxiety within, and
in answer to the inquiry as to whittier he
was bound, and what the object of his sud
den departare from the post of duty, hastily
replied that he was "going home to look
after his constituents, for they had all got
turned upside down since he had left them, /"
Mr.. Editor, this is not the first time that
the agitation of great truths-too great to
be cOmprehended BY political aspirants-
have turned people upside down."
On one occasion, such agitation was said
to have "turned the world upside down" !"
But the mistake, in both cases, was like
that of the lunatic, who declared that he
was "put in the asylum because he differed
in opinion from the rest Of mankind J" they
insisting that he was crazy, and he charging
them with insanity, and as they had the
power they enforced their decision.
l have not heard whether the Honorable
gentleman succeeded in convincing his con-
stituents that they were "turned upside
down." or whether they obstinatelY insist
ed upon their own sanity, and sent him to
the lunatic asylum instead of the halls of
Legislation But one thingiis certain, until
his moral faculties shall be so improved
that he can distinguish the noble impulses
of the soul from mental alteration, he might
be much benefited by course of training
in that benevolent institution. E. 7.

p Professor Rainey, in introducing to the
audience last evening, Mr.. Hosmer in his lee
ture on "Indian Traditions" made the follow
ing happy historic illusions:
Mr.. Hosmer is himself Chief Of the Five
Nations" acknowledged brave in their COun-
ellis; is entitled to wear their costume; speaks
five different Indian languages nearly as flu
emily as his own, aud indeed uttered his first
infant syllables in the sonorous and poetic
tongue Of the Senecas. His mother speaks
three Of ther languages fluently. Mr.. Hos
mer has, as poet, drank deep at the fountain Of
their Legendary inspiration; wandered long
years with them through the sweet valleys Of
their beloved Genessee; bathed his imagination
in their beautiful, enchanted lakes, and sung
again and again the mOarnful dirge Of their
lOng-lOst braves and angelic maidens.
Mr.. H., unlike most Of the poets Of modern
days, instead Of copying over thousand times
the old, fsmiliaF scenes of Europe, has bFeathed
the fresh ait q his own mountain heights, and
sipped at the sparkling fountains Of AmericGH
inspiration, immoFtalizing thus the familiar
scenes Of his own dear native land.
