the thoughtless and unkind reproaches that
may be cast upon you on your fathers ac-
count"
This lesson of my blessed mother, trust,
was not lost upon me- Nearly forty years
have gone since that day, and have passed
many trying scenes, but none ever made so
strong an impression on my feelings as that
heartless remark of G.'s. 1t was so unjust
and so uncalled for.
But there is another part to the story
The other day a gentleman called at my
place of business, and asked if did not re-
cognise him. [ told him | did not. "Do
YOU remember" said he, 'of being at a
spelling school at certain time, and a rude,
thoughtless boy twitting you of poverty and
being drunkards SOM" ''I do most dis
inctiy," said [. "Well," continued the gen,
tleman, 81 am that boy. There has not
probably a month of my life passed since
then. but have thought of that remark
with regret and shame, and as | am about
leaving for California, perhaps to end my
days there, [ could not 60 without first call
ing on you, and asking your forgiveness for
that act" Boys, gave him my hand as a
pledge of forgiveness. Did l do right
You all say yes. Well, then, let me close
as | began. Boys, never twit another for
what he cannot help. UNCLE JOSEPH.

At Smyrna, the burial ground of the Ar
menians, like that Of the Moslem, is short
distance from the town. 1t is planted with
green trees, and is favorite resort, not only
with the bereaved, but those whose feelings
are not darkly overcast. | met there one
morning little girl with halfplayful
countenance, busy blue eye, and sunny locks,
bearing in one hand a cup Of china, and in
the other a wreath of fresh flowers Feel
ing very natural curiosity to know what
she would do with these bright things in
such place, that seemed to partake so
much of sadness, [ watched her light mo-
tions. Reaching a retired grave, covered
with plain marble slab, she emptied the
seed-which, it appeared, the cup contained
into the slight cavities which had been
scooped out in the corners Of the level table,
and laid out the wreath on its pure face.
"And why" [ enquired, "my sweet girl,
do you put seed in those little bowls there?"
at is to bring the birds there she re-
piled, with a halfwondering look; "they will
light on this tree when they have eaten seed
and sing"
"To whom do they sing-to you Or each
other?"
ooh, no" she replied; to my sister-she
sleeps here"
"But your sister is dead"
ooh, yes, sir; but she hears the birds
sing"
"Well, if she does hear the birds sing, she
cannot see the wreath of flowers"
"But she knows put it there. l told
her before they took her away from our
house, I would come and see her every NOR

"You must" I continued, have loved that
sister very much; but you will never talk

look, Il shall see her in heaven"
But she has gone to heaven already, I

IMPORTANT DIsCovERY.-A late discov-
cry in electro-metalurgy, says the State
Journal, has recently been demonstrated in
this State, by means Of which an alloy of
two or more metals may be precipitated up
on another metallic surface. The object
sought was a method by which the gold
coins Of any country might be simulated in
color, and so perfectly has the experiment
succeeded, that the peculiar tint of the gold
coin of the United States was obtained.-
The principal object of the inventor was to
detect counterfeits, where these means have
been adopted, but as the experiments for
the above purpose are as yet Incompetence
shall say nothing farther on the subject, un-
til further matured. due time we shall
publish the result of the gentlemans labors,
with full directions for the manipulations.

Too Much Business.

This is a world of infexible commerce;
nothing is ever given away, but everything
is bought and paid for. If, by exclusive
and absolute surrender of ourselves to ma
terial pursuits, we materialize the mind, we
lose that class of satiSfactionS of which the
mind is the region and the resource. A
young man in business, for instance, begins
to feel the exhilirating glow Of success, and
deliberately determines to abandon itself to
its delicious whirl. He says to himself 81
will think of nothing but business until |
have made so much money, and then | will
begin a new life. will gather round me
books, and pictures, and friends | will
have knowledge, taste and cultivation, the
perfumes of scholarship, and winning speech
and graceful manners. | will see foreign
countries, and converse with accomplished
men. | will drink deep of the fountain of
classic lore. Philosophy shall guide me;
history shall instruct me, and poetry shall
charm me. Science shall open to me her
wonders. I shall then remember my pres
ent life of drudgery as one recalls a pleasant
dream when the morning has dawned."
He keeps his selfregistered VOW. He
bends his thoughts downwards and nails
them to the dust. Every power, every af
fection, every taste, except those which his
particular occupation calls into play, is left
to starye. Over the gates of his mind he
writes, in letters which he who runs may
read, "No admittance except on business" J"
In time he reaches the goal of his hopes;
but now insulted nature begins to claim her
revenge That which was once unnatural
is now natural to him. The enforced con-
straint has become rigid deformity The
spring of his mind is broken. He can no
longer lift his thoughts from the ground
Books and knowledge, and wise discourse,
and the amenities of art, and the cordial of
friendship, are like words in a strange
tongue. To the hard, smooth surface of his
soul nothing genial, graceful Or winning
will cling. He cannot even purge his voice
OF its fawning tone, or pluck from his face
the mean, money-getting mask which the
child does not look at without causing it to
smile, Amid the graces and ornaments of
wealth, he is like blind man in a picture
gallery. That which he has done he must
continue to do; he must accumulate riches
which he cannot enjoy, and contemplate the
dreary prospect of growing old without any
thing to make age venerable or attractive;
for age without wisdom and without know
ledge, is the winters cold without the Win
ter's fire. HilIlard.

GooD HUMoR.-Keep in good humor. 1t

ence; it is the petty yexations, the small

No man does his best except when he is
cheerful. A light heart makes nimble
hands, and keeps the mind free ard alert
No misfortune is so great as one that sours
the temper. Till cheerfulness is lost, moth
ing is lost. Keep in good humor.
The company of good humored man is a
perpetual feast. He is welcomed every
where. Eyes glisten at his approach, and
difficulties vanish in his cheering presence.
Franklin's indomitable good humor did as
much for his country in Congress as Ad-
ans fire or Jefferson s wisdom. He clothed
wisdom with smiles, and softened conten-
tiOus minds into acquiescence. Keep in
good humor.
A good conscience, a sound stomach and
clean skin are the clements of good hui

Professor had assembled his class at the
commencement Of the term, and was read

ply.

out of his chair at the supposed imperti-
nence, but not quite sure that he had un-
derstood him correctly, "Sir, [ did not ex-
actly understand your answer"
"You are BRICK" was again the com
posed reply.
This is intolerable !" said the Professor,
his face reddening. Beware, young man,
how you attempt to insult me-"
Insult you! !" said the student, in turn
astonished. "How have l done it,"
did you not say l was a brick?" re-
turned the Professor with stifed indigna-
ton.

The proceedings of the Russian American
Company appear to be guided by political
as well as by commercial motives. In 1909
the Russian Minister informed the United
States Government that the "Russian Fur
Company claimed the whole coast of Amer
lea, on the Pacific and the adjacent Islands,
from Behring's Straits southwark to and
beyond the mouth of the Columbia river"
An endeavor was also made to occupy the
Sandwich Islands. The Hudson Bay Com
pany materially aided Mr.. Canning, in
1925, in the restriction of the Russians to
their present northern territories.

The Lawyer.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

An attorney was taking a turn"
In shabby habiliments drest,
His coat was shOckingIy worn,
And the rust had invested his vest.
His breeches had suffered breach,
His linen and Worsted were worse,
He had scarce a whole crown in his hat,
And not half a crown in his purse.
And thus as he wandered along,
A cheerless and comfortless elf,
He sought for relief in song,
Or cOmplainingly talked to himself.
"MOst unfortunate man that [ am
For my only client is grief;
The case is, I've no case at all,
And in brief, [ meier had brief
The profession already so full
Of,lawyers, so full of profession,
That modest young man like myself
Can't make the slightest impression.
"They grant I'm acquainted with grants
Can devise devise or a plea,
Can make a good plea in fee simple
Rut cant get the simplest feel
"Tve waited and waited in vain,
Expecting an opening to find,
Where an honest young lawyer might gain
Some reward for the toll of his mind"
While thus he wandered along,
His eye accidentally fell
On a very deep hole in the ground,
And he sighed to himself, 'it is we'll"
To curb his emotions he sat
On the curbstone the space of minute,
Then cried, Here's an opening at last
And in less than jiffy was in it.
Next day, twelve citizens came,
The cOrOner's quest to attend,
To the end that it might be determined
How the man had determined his end.
"The man was a lawyer, it tseems,'
Said the foreman, who Opened of course,
"a lawyer, alas" cried another,
"He undoubtedly died of remorse."
A third said he knew the deceased,
An attorney well versed in the laws,
And as to the cause Of his death,
Twas no doubt for want of a "cause!"
The ''crowners" at length gave verdict,
Which finally settled the matter,
That the young man was drown-ded, because
He could not keep his head above water.

A NEW THEORY OF HEAT FROM THE Sun

A NEW THEORY OF HEAT FROM THE Sun.
"A writer in the Washington Intelligen-
Ger, referring to the various theories of the
generation of heat by the sun, proposes the
following, which appears to be as rational
as any which has preceded it:
We know that when that portion of the
earth on which we happen to be is turned
towards the sun, we have heat; and that its
intensity is in proportion to the directness
Of its rays; that is to say, to their striking
at an angle, more approaching to right
angle, the general surface of the place where
we are; and that this heat is felt in less de-
gree If we ascend high above the general
surface. From this it is manifest, | think.
that the heat we derive from the sun is con-
sequent upon some mysterious action of its
rays upon the matter of our atmosphere,
(call it chemical action for want of more
appropriate name,) and that intensity de-
pendS not only upon the angle at which
these rays pass through our atmosphere,
but also upon the density or depth of at
moSphere. At the level of the sea, where
the depth and consequent density of the at
mosphere are greatest, the heat Is greatest;
on mountain, where these are diminished,
the heat is less.
Now if we suppose each of the planets of
our system to have an atmosphere like our
own, and of a depth proportionate to their
magnitude, we can suppose all of them to be
lnhabltable. The asteroids and moons by
this theory can have but little depth OF at
mosphere, and consequently very little gen
eral heat.
The Georgetown news., 1855-11-15

BP Commodore Wilkes has come out
with new explanation of the phenomena
of winds, as fOllows:-That the atmosphere,
when Of equal temperature and dryness will
remain at rest. That if the atmosphere is
disturbed by any change of temperature,
the denser and colder portion seeks the
warmer, from every direction, to restore the
equilibrium. That currents of air may pass
in opposite directions without mixing, pro-
viding they lie according to their specific
gravities, but they can never pass through
or across each other without cOmmingliDg,
Also, that currents of air are influenced and
disturbed by electricity.
