DYINe WoRDs or MELAxcrHoS.-It IL re-
lated that Melancthon, just, before he died,
expressed . wish to hear read some choice
passages Of scripture; and this desire having
been met, hewas asked by his SON. n-law,
Sabinus, whether he would have anything
else; to which he replied in these emphatic
words; "AHnde nihil, nisi, eels4n, . MOTH
ING ELSE, But HEAVEN; and shortly after this,
he gradually brsathed his last. Well did one
who sought to embalm bis memory in verse,
say: -
"His sun went down in clou lle4s skies,
Assured upon the morn to rise,
In 1oveles array.
But not like earth 3 declining light,
To vanish hack again 10 night
No bound, no setting ban can know,
Without cloud shade Of wee
In that eternal day."

GREAT OPERArIoN.-The most magnificent
speculation recorded in modern times, II one
recently made by Emile Pcriere, President Of
the Credit Mobilier, of Paris. This distin-
guished fnancier entered recently into a ne
gociation with the gas companies now sup
plying Paris with light, purchasing the whole
Of them for IS ,000, 600 francs, or about *1,-
O00,000 He then procured from tho Empe-
rer concession or charter of consolidation,
converting the whole into one company
This charter and property he afterwards dis
posed of to his company Credit Mobilier) for
the sum of 10000, 900 francs, thea rsakaing
profit of Is 100000 francs, or $3,000, 900.
Just think of it, We operators in Wall street,
three millions Of dollars realized ct one grab
How much Louis Napoleon made out of it is
not known, but it is believed the government
officials, participated handsomely In this nice
little affair. The Credit Mobilier is q great
ing institution, chartered since the reign
OF the present Emperor, having car. tai Of

stocks, merchandise, paper, property and

MODERN CfvILIzAroN.-The Railroad Re-
cord mentions the following as q few of the
employments which have grown up within u
century, and were unknown in any previous
age of the world: 81
Steam Engine makers, Boiler makers,
Chemists, Gas-makers, Lightning-ro max
ers, Saleratus makers, Type-cutters, Type
founders, Telsgraphers, Dagusrrsotypists,
Railroad men, Tobacconists, Editovs, Pen
makers, Map makers, Paper rulers, .Pencil
makers, Philosophical Instrument makers,
Stencillers and Stereotpists.
1t may be said that Chemists, Editors and
Tobacco were known prior to the last eentu-
~. Thus 10 literally, bus not ssbstAAtialy
true. Astrologers and dealers in maggie, poi
soners, &C., had smattering Of chemistry,
but the science of chemistry grew up by tho
discoveries of Black, Gay, Lussae, Leyoissr
and Sir Humphrey Davy. AS = science, it q
not century old. So of Editors. Printing
Was discovered four centuries since, but Ed
ltors, either as to newspapers or books, are
not, rs profession, near century old, and
aud now they are the fourth estate Ut the
realm; one Of the controlling elements Of
society. So Tobacco was known, perhaps,
three centuries since, but it is native Of
America and was not an article of regular
commerce Till within a century. As to staAm,
Ielegraphing, Daguorrsotyping,. Rsi4wAys,
Gas and Stereotyping, they weres-nnknown
mysteries.

WIZ SHorLp GIVE Where God is for
gotten, it is pitiful to see how riches hardens
the heart of him who gains them. Some
times the man who was liberal while he was
poor, becomes niggardly as he becomes
wealthy. The tendency of gain is to nour-
ish seifshness if the hand that bestows it is
overlooked, and the thirst of selGshness can
never be slaked. The reservoir of the COW
etous never overAows. Recognising no OBJ
legation, he yields to no claim. A man Of
this sort once said, "Others never give to me,
why should | give to otherss" infatuated
man is there none that ever gives to thee
What hast thou that thou hast not received ?
Who gave thee reason, life, success? Who
prospered thy plans? Who gave, thee power
to get wealth? Who has kept thy dwelling
safe? Who has warded OF from thse Q
Thousand calamities which have overtaken
thy fellows? And art thou indebted to none
has none q right to thy bountyY Wilt
thou rob God9 Shall he have no share Of
what is his own?

| PROHIBITION WANTED BIT THE DauNKARD.
The Wilmington Statesman, (Delaware)
publishes the following:
"The most convincing argument in favor
| OF prohibition thatwe have ever heard is said
TO have been made to member oil the State
Senate Of Delaware, during the pending OF
the prohibitory bill before that body.
A Iaan Of VIGOROUSLY Incorporate habits,
said to the honorable member (who, it was
thought, held the lite or death OF the bill at
his wild suppose, Mr.. ---, vessel was
out IN the Bay, in sinking condition with
! large number Of persons on board, with
out boats or any other means Of escape, and
you had the ONLY BOAT, and the ONLY means
Of escape, and without your assistance they
must perish. aud you could save them with
out endangering your own life, would you
do it ~
"Certainly would should be lnhuman
to do otherwise 70
"Well," said he, 81. and there are hum
dreds Of others like M, have become
such creatures by habit that we have not
the heart to save ourselves--you can, by
your vote in the Senate, help US Will
you do 1t !
This appeal was said to be more con-
vincing than dozen such lectures would
have been from tetnpcran men-and the
honorable gentleman's m nd was more firm
~ fixed IN favor OF the bill than it had ever
b en- before.
The gentleman did vote for the bill, and
it has become a law. In few months that
poor inebriate, with hundreds OF others,
their wives and children, will have the shield
Of Law for their protection.
May God protect the right.
