A MtcRoscop1c WoRLD.-The city of
Berlin, in Prussia, is situated in the midst
Of broad, fat plain, and is built upon both
sides of the sluggish river Spree. Beneath
the city there is deep bog Of black peat.
through which borings for water have fire.
qucntIy been carried. Professor Ehren-
berg, gentleman whose explorations in
to the mysteries of the microscopic life
have attained for him high position a.
mong the scientific men of the age, says
that this peat, at the depth of fifty feet,
swarms with infusoral life; that countless
myriads of microscopic animals live there
and wriggle and die. The perpetual mo-
ton Of these little animals causes the whole
mass of peaty matter TO be in state Of
constant though generally imperceptible
movement. In Berlin the houses, howev-
er, are wont to crack and yawn sometimes,
in an exceedingly curious manner, even
though built on apparently staple founda-
tions; and Professor Ehrenberg believes
this to be owing to the changes and mo.
tions Of this invisible world-to the com.
bined efforts of millions of tiny forms
which, consprng in the same direction
produce sensible, and oftentimes disastrous
movements of the surface, resulting in thu
injury or ruin of the buildings above.

A CALL TO THANKSGIVING.

Bedford .usresrs, which did not arrive until this
morning.
CALL TO THANKSGIVING.
Come home to rHAxxsoivlsol dear children, come
Fsom the north and the south, from the west and
the east,
where'er ye are resting, wherever yo roam,
Come back to this sacred and annual feast.
What though the wild wind of November doth roar,
Like trumpet blast loud DER the country drear,
And the cold rain Of Autumn increasingly pour,
In the eloudiest, gloomiest month Of the year.
We heed not, nor hear 1t, with nres burning bright
On the ample old hsarths where ye sperted OF yore,
Ye will know tho glad faces revealed by their light,
Andloud hearts will welcome you, c'cn at the door
Your father Is here, and your mother, whose love,
Though homely and plain, is more precious than
gold;
And your shy little sister, with eyes like dove,
And your brother, so tall and so sturdy aud bold.
Aud when YOU shall miss from your circle face,
which for many year was like light to your view
DO not mourn for the agedl for oh! in her place
glorined angel is waiting for you.
Come home to Thanksgiving! We pray ye come
home;
From tho north and the south, from the wost and
the east;
where'er ye are resting, whereverye roam,
Come back to your sacred and annual feast.
Our ripe fruits gathered, our corn in the barn,
All ready for "huskings" aud brisk "apple bees"
And Mary is knitting her snowiest yarn
Into mttens fear that your fingers should freeze
The chestnats, alas! are all gone from the lea,
But our walnuts and butternuts always are fine;
They were carefully culled from each fIyore tree;
And our cider t,pcak sonly)i is sparkling as wine.
The turkies, entirely resigned their fate,
Stalk quietly round with a gObblo or So
And the chickens in silence their doomsday await,
Asking nothing but plenty to EAT ere they go
Our pumpkins golden as golden can be,
All ready to melt into delicate pie,
With tempting crust white the foam OF the sea,
And lIgh: as the snowy flake wandering by.
Come home to Thanksgiving But, oh ifyou come,
Bring back the warm heart OF your earlier youth;
let 1t shed its old lights on the alter at home,
Untanted in feeling-undimmed In Its TRUTH
Cast away from your soul all the dross OF tho world
And worship with us you did when child,
In our solemn old dchurch with your golden lock
curl'd,
And your rogncish eye glanced demurely and mild
Let thank God together, for homo and for health
For the friends He hath left US, and those that nr
gone,
For his faiherly bounty in giving us wealth,
his merclful justice when wealth Is withdrawn.
And oh, let pray, that when lfo shall bo o'er,
And the last earthly rites unto us have been glyeI
We may meet those We love on Eternity's shore,
And keep a moro Joyful Thanksgiving in Heaven!

THE HONEY MooN.-Why is the first
month after marriage called the "honey-
moon?' Doubtless on account of the
sweet !unaco which controls the heads of
the parties during that brief delightful Pc
riod. What pity that they should ever
get quite rational again! that sentimentali-
ty should give place to sentiment, senli-
ment to sense, love yield to logic, and fic-
ton to fact, till the "happy pair are reduc-
ed from the Eden of romance to the Sahara
Of realiy-from Heaven to earth-and per-
haps peg lower. Strange as it may seem,
there have been couples who have quar-
relied in the first month of matrimony, and
have got back to their astonished parents
before the good mother had fairly done
weeping (and rejoicing too) at her daugh-
ter's departure. Their "honey- moon"
soured at the full of her horn, and became
moon of vinegar instead. A sad omen
that! There was much sense and propriety
in the text which an ancient Clergyman
chose for wedding sermon. 1t was taken
from the Psalms of David, and read thus
"And let there be peace while the moon en-
dureth"

ETAn amusing incident occurred in
one of our down-east churches, some years
ago. The clergyman gave on on pleas
ant Sabbath afternoon in July:
"I love to steal awhile away,
From every numbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day,
In humble, grateful prayer"
The regular choristor being absent, the
duty devolved upon tho good old deacon
M. who commenced;
love to steal"
and then bagged down-and raising his
voice to a still higher pitch he sung,
| love to steal" ....-.
and rs before, he concluded he had got the
wrong pitch and deploring that he had not
his "pitch tuner" he determined to sue
ceed if he died in the attempt
By this time, all the old ladies were tit
tering behind their fans, whilst the faces
ofthe "young 'uns" were all in broad
grin. At length, after u desperate cough,
he made final demonstration and roared
out,
| Hove to steal"
This effort was too much; every other but
the godly and eccentric parson were laugh
ing, whoarose, and with the utmost GOODNESS
said:
Seeing our brothers propensities, lot us
prayp'
1t is needless to say that few of that con
gregaton heard the prayer.
