DAYS without Nights.

DR.. Baird, in lecture recently, CAV,
some interesting facts. There is nothing
that strikes stranger more forcibly, i
he visits Sweden at the season of the year
when the days are the longest, the absenst
of the night. DIR. Baird had no concep
tion of it before his arrival He arrived
at Stockholm from Gottenburg, four hun
dred miles distant, in the morning, and
In the afternoon went to see some friends

turned about midnight; it was as light as
! is here half an hour before sundown.-
You could see distinctly. But all was
quiet in the street; it seemed as if the in-
habitants were gone away, or were dead.
No signs 70 lfie-stores closed.
The sun COOS down at Stockholm lit
tie before 10 o'clock. There is great IL
Illumination all night; as the sun passes a.
round the earth toward the north pole,
the refraction of its rays is such that you
can see to read at midnight DR.. Baird
read letter in the forest near Stockholm
at midnight, without artificial light
There is mountain at the Bothnia, where.
on the 2lst of June, the sun does not 90
down at all. Travellers 60 there to see
it. A steamboat goes up from Stock
holm for the purpose of carrying those
who are curious to witness the phenomo-
non. 1t occurs only one night. The sun
goes down to the horizon, you can see the
whole face of it, and in FIVE minutes it be-
gins to rise.
At the North Cape, latitude - degrees,
the sun does not set in several days. In
June it would be about % degrees above
the horizon at midnight. The way the
people know it is midnight, they see the
sun rise. The changes in these high lat
itudes from summer to winter are so great
that We can have no conception of them
at all. In the winter time the sun disap-
pears, and it is not seen for several weeks.
Then it comes and shows its face. Af-
terwards, it remains ten, fifteen, or twen-
ty minutes, and then descends, and finally
it does not set at all, but makes circle
aound the heavens. DR.. Baird was asked
how they managed in regard to hired
persons and what they considered day.
He could not say, but supposed they
worked by the hour, and twelve hours
would be considered days work.
Birds and animals take their accus-
toned rest at the usual hours. The Doc
tor did not know they learnt the time,
but they had, and 60 to rest whether the
sun goes down or not. The hens take to
the trees about seven o'clock, p. m, and
stay there until the sun is we'll up in the
morning, and the people get into the habit
of rising late too. The first morning DR..
Baird awoke in Stockholm, he was sur
prised to find the sun shining into his
room. He looked at his watch and found
it was only three o'clock; the next time
be aweke, it was FIVE o'clock; but there
was nobody in the street. The Swedes
in the cities are not very industrious, ow-
ing probably to the climate.

Pretty Good Lecture.

Young men, do you suppose the physical
frame is made Of iron, or gutta percha, or
india rubber, or some other tough. impossi-
ble.to-usc.up substance, that you knock and
tumble it around in such an unconsciona5le
manner, deprive it Of rest, scorch il .nvardly
with vile, alcoholic concoctions, distend it
with untimely and indigestIble feeds T! Do
you suppose it is going to last $40 and 10
years il you use it thus badly? You allow
it no time to recuperate its exhausted cher-
gIes you make it work so hard doing moth
ing that it has no more chance than bob.tail
calf in fly time. You are foolish, for you
are young; but because you are young, Is no
reason why you should be fools--only a little
excuse. The young life-blood, vigorous and
fresh is coursing through your veins with
mill-stream power, and your being overflow
ing with the poetry Of motion. adventure,
excitement; small space to retrospect, de-
spising actualities. you fasten on hope; and
catching that comet by the tail, it snakes
you through immensity. till it scorches your
fingers and you drop into the mirc Of sober
reality, and draw in your horns like garden
snail in snow-storn.
Our young men are too fond Of being with
the young men for when they gather, the
Old Scratch is in their midst as certain as il
it was democratic caucus, and there's more
devilty concocted in half an hour than a ten
dollar subscription to the Washington Monu-
ment Fund. or face a yard long at dis
tracted meeting, would atone for. The ex.
periences Of our youth strengthens the i'm
preston that there's more real enjoyment in
one quiet evening with nine yards Of calico.
than in three ten-strikes, eleven gin-slings,
four plates Of oysters, five gates taken of the
hinges. seven signs pulled down, two hours
sleep and headache the next forenoon. Ex.
elements Of different nature are equally
pleasurabie according to temperament We
prefer kissing pretty girl in the entry to
knocking down a watchman, for the present
and transitory bliss Of the thing--on the
score Of consequences they being equally de-
lectable; assault and battery vs.. breach Of
promise but there's no accounting for tastes,
as the cookery-man said when customer
called for sassingers" The girls are right
in the road to heaven. and one can't look
heavenward without looking at them. and you
can't travel heayenward without following
after them, and the fellows that are not fast
oyertake them soonest and enjoy them the
longest.-FIorila (lNiLton) Courier.
The Port Gibson reveille. (Port Gibson, Miss.) 185?-1857, 1854-02-22
The Printer.

The night grows late; the streets are
hushed moon beams deck the deserted pave.
ment, aud sleep strews his slumberous pop
pies over the inhabitants Of the silent city.
An are at rest save the printer, who is busy
at his case.
Dreams lovely as winged cherubs hover
about the repOse Of man and maiden visions
as pure as first lilies and beautiful as the ma
tron and child but to the printer all is reality,
toll and WEAKNESS.
How nimbly and cheerfully does he adjust
the faithful types, as if he took mo note OF
time. ? as If the duties that we're wearing out
his life. were more diversion than labori-
Gus avocation. But amid their monotonous
discharge, believe us, the printer thinks OF
home aud sweet rest, and sighs within himself
for the better lot Of which others are possess.
ed and yet there is no repose for him, though
the night tramps on and the jocund dawn
will soen appear
Why do his motions grow less rapid, why
move bis fingers in so deliberate and mechanl-
cal a way. When is the smile that fingers
at his lip. like the first sunbeam at the gates
Of morning There is gentle presence Of
his side-an eye blue as violets, glancing IN
to his own-an accent sweet as music, entran-
cling his ear and reaching his very heart.
Il is but moment-it is only recovery
it did not even win him from his occupation
it only caused his hand to falter, not to cease
the printer awakens to busy toll again.
Ye who receive your sunrise favorite, and
wander, perhaps listly. over its wages, remem.
Der that It is the fruit Of toll which was active
and untiring, while you were quietly sleep
ing-that your convenience and comfort are
brought with the price of WEAKNESS.
There is an " eclectic cord " which being
charged with sympathy will carry the gentle
burthea even to the most distant hearts. We
bespeak its agency in behalf Of the faithful
printer.
