ONE DROP OF RAIN.

A passage occurs in Lieut.. Maurey's
Physical Geography of the Sea- in
which he computes the effect of single
drop of rain falling upon the Atlantic
Ocean. The Atlantic includes an area
of twenty-five millions of square miles.
Suppose an inch of rain 10 fall upon only
one-ffth of this vast expanse. 1t would
weigh, says our author, three hundred
and sixty millions of tuns and the sail
which as water, it held in solution in the
sea, and which, when that water was ta-
ken up as vapur, was left behind to
disturb equilibrium, weighed sixteen
millions more of tuns, or nearly twice as
much as all the ships in the world would
carry at cargo each. 1t might fall in
an hour, OF might fall in day but, oc
cupy what time it might in falling. this
rain is calculated TO exert so much
force which is ineonceivably great-in
disturbing the equilibrium Of the ocean.
If all the water discharged by the Mis-
sissippi river during the past year we're
taken up in one mighty measure and
cast into the ocean at one mighty effort,
it would not make a greater disturbance
in the equilibrium of the sea, than the
fall of rain supposed. And yet, so gen
tie are the operations of nature, that
so vast are unperceived.

All the stuff alb, ut woman's love has
been said over and over again fifty thou
sand times tothe greatdetrimentofthe best
interest of humanity. There is no kind
of necessity for using the press to per-
suade silly girls that it is very romantic
and womanly to love scoundrel, to leave
her affections unguarded by reason or ex-
perience, and drift helplessly into sin,
shame and despair, as an evidence other
unsuspecting womanhood. 1t is not that
Woman's affections are stronger and more
durable than mans. We think the very
opposite is the case and two thirds of
the women who pine or die for love, do
so for want of something better to do.
Everything calculated to make lovesick-
ness a becoming feminine accomplish
ment, is great injury but to strew
the path of the suicide with the flowers
of poesy and romance, is in very great
degree reprehensible. The best motto
to guard a young girl through the ma
zes of love, is "Do right, and trust in
God" A girl who has done nothing
wrong has little cause to mourn over the
fckleness of a pretended lover. Better
he should change his mind before mar
rage than after.

CARRIER PIGEONS AND THE TELE-
GRAPH.

Many of the readers of newspapers
who wake up in the morning, and find a
column of European news, by telegraph,
ready for their persual, in the morning
paper, the steamer having arrived only
the midnight before. do not know the la
Dor and the enterprise which are invol-
we'd to procure this early transmission of
the steamers news. The " associated
press have an agent for the arrival of
New York steamers al the Sandy Hook
light house. He has fifty carrier pigeons,
which are trained for The pupose of con-
veying news from the steamers to the
shcre. A man in open boat, in all kinds
of weather, drops along side of the steam
er, as she bears directly up Sandy Hook.
The news is thrown over in a water tight
can, and the news being taken out a sin
gle sheet is affixed to a birds leo. The
man then gives the signal to the bird,
which raises his wings and away he goes,
with all his powers of locomotion, in a
straight line for the Office, going dis
tance of three or four miles in as MANY
minutes and, popping in at the window,
is received by the agent, who transmits
the intelligence over the wires to New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, and
thence to St. Louis, New Orleans, and
all other parts Of the country, so that the
news is frequently received over large
part of the United States, and published,
before the steamer leaves the quarantine.

A little boy, about five years of age,

just outside Of the door. In going out

TRUE BENEFAcToRs.-Channing says,
and with truth :-'' The day-laborer,
who earns, with horny hands and the
sweat of his brow, coarse food for wife
and children, whom he loves. is raised,
by his generous motive, to true dignity:
and, though wanting the refnements of
life, is nobler being than those who
think themselves a6solved by, wealth,
from serving others" 1t is worthy Of
note, that the men and women who think
most highly of themselves, and most
meanly of others, are those who render
back to society, for the good things they
enjoy, the smallest resurn ofpersonal eff
fort. The worlds true benefactors. and
therefore its true noblemen, are they
who serve it, humbly and earnestly, to
the best of the ability God has given
them. All others are but counterfeits
and preteaders.-Ez.

Mr.. EDITOR In looking over an old

a time, when King George was upon
the English throne, a graceless scamp
named George King, committed some
over act against the peace and dignity
of the crown, and was therefore convict

for such cases made and provided
George King was jugged up to await his
time to be hanged. He didn't like the
prospect before him, and so concluded
to send the King the following petition

PAPER DICKIES.

Have usually been thought an appur-
tenance of that peculiar dandyism known
as shabby gentility, but the OH Colonial
Memorial tells us that the article is about
to become the height of comfort and fash
ion. The editor has recently examined
lot of collars that pleased him great
ly, anil which he describes thus This
invention was made by one HALL, who
has obtained a patent for the same, and
whose mandatory is at No. 4O8 Broad
way, New York. The dickey is made
of paper, and one thousand per hour are
turned OF by machinery. They bear a
stamp on which the patent and owners
name are observable, and are cut, creas-
ed and dented after the manner of our
common linen collars. A slit runs the
entire length on either side, by which
breakage or bending is prevented they
are highly polished, and no amount OF
perSpiration can disturb their equllibri-
um. They VII be found peculiarly ad-
vantageous in the warm days Of sum-
mer, and in the heated ballroom and
theatre. They bear such striking re-
semblance to the linen collars We are in
the habit of wearing, that we coul- not
credit the statement made about them,
until, by permission, we tore one. They
are strong, durable, and the very cheap
est invention of the kind we have ever
seen, the wholesale price being three
and half cents each.

RELIGION, in a general sense, is prop
erly the comprehension and acknowl-

and the souls allegiance to it; and Chris

sonal character Of Christ, and the hearts
allegiance to that.

Gone, like the Summer shower,
Passed like the Summer dayl
I see your bright eye glancing
By the brook and in the glen;
Ye beautiful hopes Of BoYHoOD,
Come ye not back again
Ye beautiful hopes of MANHOOD,

And oh its thrilling power
And hear your angel footballs
In the breeze that fans me now;
And the touch Of your gentle fingers
Is the GOODNESS on my brow.
All sun light are your pinions,
All golden is your track;
And the silver of your whisper
Says, ye are coming hack:
Here, take this crysal tear-drop.
From purest joy distilled;
o beautiful hopes of MANHOOD,
Ny fond heart We have filed
You're singing your organ anthem
In the chambers Of my soul,
And the musical-waves come rolling
As the waves of the ocean roll;
With snowy wings now folded,
On with the syren-song

THERE'S NO DEARTE OF KINDNESS

There's no dearth Of kindness
In this world of ours
0nly in our blindness
We gather thorns for flowers
Outward we are spurning,
Trampling one anotherl
While We are inl, yearning
Atthe name OF Brother :"
There's no dearth Of kindness
Or love among mankind,
But in darkling loneness
Hooded hearts grow blind
Full Of kindness tingling,
Soul is shut from soul,
When they might be mingling
In one kindred wholel
There's no dearth Of kindness,
Tho it be unspoken
From the heart that buildeth
Rainbow suiles in token
That there be none so lowly,
But have some angel touch;
Yet, Sursing loves unholy,
We live for self too much
As the wild rose bloweth,
As runs the happy river,
Kindness freely floweth
In the heart forever.
But if men will banker
Ever for golden dust,
Kindliest hearts will canker,
Brightest spirits rust.
There's no dearth of kindness
In this world of ours
Only in our blindness
We gather tborns for flowersi
o, cherish Gods best giving,
Falling from aboxei
Life were not worth living,
Were it not for Love.

SMELLs.--In an article in the Electic
Magazine for March, ON the Chemistry
of Common Life, is the following para
graph :
" There is probability of compound
ing smells infinitely more terrific than
any which nature produces, and of en-
ploying them in warfare either for pur-
poses of defence or annoyance. Some
substances are sufficiently atrocious in
themselves. Swallow pellet of powder
ed sulphur, and it will diffuse noisome
atmosphere around the individual for
L-any days. Take a quarter of grain of
preparation of tellurium, and though
in itself inodorous it will impart such a
disgusting fetor to the breath and perspi-
ration, that the dearest friend of the vic
tim will be ready to indict him for pub
lie nuisance. If bubble of selenluret-
ted hydrogen gas be permitted to escape
into a room, it will attack the company

chial affections which will last many

Maine, who had a great aptitude for
serving as juror. When thus serving,
he had very great anxiety that his opin-

while upon case, after many hours tri-
al to agree. but failing, he marshalled
the delinquent jury from the room to
their seats in the court, where the impa-
tent crowd awaited the result of the
trial.
