want was regaling her beau upon the cold
mutton of the larder, called Betty, and inqui-
red whether she did not hear some one
speaking with her down stairs ? 'Oh no,
ma'am," replied the girl, 'it was only me
singing psalm!" ''You may amuse your
self, Betty" replied The maiden, "with
psalms, but let's have no hims, Betty, have
a great objection to hims" Betty cour,seyed,
withdrew, and took the hint.

NUMBER 81,
Handers Of the TnIrerse.

What mere assertion will make any one be-
lieye that in one second Of time, In one beat Of
clock, ray of light travels over $4,000
miles; and would therefore perform the tour
Of the world in about the same time that il re-
quires to wink our eyelids. and in much less
than swift runner occupies in taking sim
gle stride? What mortal can be made to be-
lieye, without demonstration, thai the sun is al
most a million times larger than the earth, and
that. although so remote from US. cannon
ball shot directly towards it, and maintaining
its full speed, would be twenty years in reach
ing it; yet it affects the world by its attraction
10 an inappreciable instant Of time
Who would not ask for demonstration, when
told that gnas's wing, in it's ordinary light
beats many hundred times in a second or that
there exist animated and regular formed beings
many thousands of whose bodies laid togeih-
er weuld not extend an mchs But what are
these to the astonishing irllihs-1shinh- naoIazzl
optical inquiries have disclosed, which teach
that every point Of MEDIUM through which a
ray of light passes, is affected with succession
of periodical movement regular recurring at e
quail intervals, no less than Eve hundrsd mil
lions Of millions times in single second.
That it is by such movements eomrzanica-
ted to the nerves Of oureyes that ne see nay
more that is the difference iu the frequency
of their recurrence which affects us With The
sense Of the diversity Of color. That for IN
stance, in acquiring the sensation OF rsdnesa,
our eyes are affected four hundred and eighty
two millions Of times Of yslloWness. Eve hun
dred and fort5-two millions Of millions Of times
and of violet, SEVEN hundred and sever millions
Of millions of times per second. Do not such
things sound more like the rawlings of madnen
than the sober conclusion of people in their
waking senses? They are. nevertheless. con
clusion to which any one may most certainly
arrive, who will only be at the trouble Of ex-
amining the chain. of reasoning by which they
have been obtained. [Herschel

The Time to Die.
BY DAVID P. CABLE.


From GOdey's Lady's Book.
/ asked the child, whose Prattling tongue
With sweet and silvery accents wruug;
Who gamboed through the livelong day,
And careless whled the hours away
"Tcll me, sweet child, the time to die"
Thus did that careless boy reply:
"Oh! tits not time for one so young,
Whose race in life is just begun;
Whose hopes within the bud yet lie
Oh! 'tis not time for me to de!''
/ asked the youth, whose painting soul
Defed all bonds and spurned control;
Whose heart was filled with boyhood's fire,
And gushing o'er with chaste desire
"Tell me the time when you would die"
Thus did the ardent youth reply:
''When l have bravely batted life,
And conquered all and gained the strife;
When en- Fame's lists l've mounted high
Then, only then, tits time to dien'
asked the man whom fleeting time
Bespoke as one in manhood's prime;
Whose thoughtful look and knitted brow
Proclaimed him in life's warfare now
"Tell me the time when you would de-"
Thus did that hardy one reply:
''I would yet live, and have my health,
To grapple for the yellow wealth;
To guard my wife and family
No, Pm not yet prepared to die!"
asked the man whose careworn look
A weight of age and grief bespoke;
Whose slow and trembling accents gave
Tones borrowed from the silent grave
"TeH me the time when you would die"
Thus did the hoary one reply:
"Though am old, ye: life is sweet,
And | am not prepared to meet
The monster death; know not why
But still I'm not prepared to dis!"
All me! 'tis ever thus with man,
Who hugs the life that's but span;
Who fleeing from deaths rude alarms,
Is quickly hurried to his arms.
When asked the time when he would die,
'Tis ever thushe will reply:
81 am too young, too fair, too blessed;
Too weak, too old, too much oppressed;
Too rich, too poori too low. too high
And am not prepared TO die!'
