PHospHeRUs.-It is now just two hundred
years since phosphorus was first obtained by
Brand, of Hamburg. So wonderful was the
discovery then considered, that Kraft, an emil
nent philosopher of the day, gave Brand $500
for the secret Of its preparation. Kraft then
travelled, and visited nearly all the Courts of
Europe, exhibiting phosphorus to kings and
nobles In appearance, phosphorus resembles
bees-wax; butt is more transparent, approach
ing to the color of amber It's name, which is
derived from the Greek, signifies s'light- %
and is indicative of its most distinguished
quality, being self-luminous. Phosphorus
when exposed to the air, shines like star,
giving out beautiful lambent, greenish light
Phosphorus dissolves in warm sweet OIL If
this phosphorised oil be rubbed over the face in
the dark, the features assume CHASTITY ap-
pearance, and the experimentalist looks like
veritable living Will-o -the-Wisp
The origin of phosphorus is the most remark
able thing concerning it. Every other sub
stance with which we are acquainted can be
traced either to the earth or air; but phospho-
rus seems to be Of animal origin. Of all the
animals, man contains the most and Of the
various parts of the body, the brain yields, by
analysis, more phosphorus than any other.
This factis Of no little moment Every thought
has, perhaps, a phosphoric source. It is certain
that the most intellectual beings contain the
most phosphorus. It generally happens that
when singular discovery is made, many years
elapse before any application Of it is made to
the welfare and happiness of man. This remark
applies to phosphorus. It is only the other day
that it was sold at FIVE shillings an onnce; now
it is so cheap that the penniless portion Of our
population hawk it about in the form Of matches.
But what noble, life, light and fre-giving
office does it fill For commercial purposes
matchmaking phosphorus is extracted from
burnt bones. The demand for it is now SO
great that many tons are annually prepared.
When Kraft Travelled, he had not more than
half an ounce "to set before the king!"

| the outer man, or crafty the inner individual.
How consistent in thy devotion to music and the
drama; always attending the opera or theatre
whenever generous friends would buy the
tickets. What an intense appreciation hadts
thou of literature, always going fast asleep over
anything more substantial than the morning
paper. How fashionably sincere in all thy
professions of piety, attending church on
Sunday, reading the responses when they could
be easily found, and sleeping through the
sermon with as much respectability as any
church member of them all truly, most esti-
mable Damphool, shall greatly miss thy in
termittaut religion.
How lovely vert thou in disposition, how
amiable, in manners; with an affectionate air
couldst thou kick the match boy out of doors,
box the ears of the little candy girl, and tell
the more sturdy apple-woman to go to the devil.
With what charitable look couldst thou listen
to the tale of the shivering beggar child, could
see the bare blue feet, and view the scanty-dress
while thy generous hand closed with tiger
grasp upon the cherished pennies in thy pocket.
Anatomically speaking, friend Damphool, l
suppose thou hadst heart; emotionally not a
trace Of one; the feeble article which served
thee in that capacity knew no more of generous
thoughts and noble impulses than Shanghai
pullet knows of the opera of Norma.
Go immerse thyself in that town where, like
the rest who dwell therein, thy abilities will be
undeveloped, thy talents will be vailed, thy
energies rust out, and thou wilt become, like
them, perambulating, passive, perpetual
sacrifice to the lazy gods of Sloth and Sanctity.

shall sorrow for thy unctious hair, and grieve
for thy perfumed whiskers; | shall look in vain
for thy polished boots and jeweled hand
shall miss thy intellectual countenance, radiant
with innocent imbecility; and shall lose my
daily meditation upon the precarious frailty of
those intangible legs.
But ancient friend, when hereafter all the
rustic maidens have yielded their. hearts before
thy captivating charms: when thy manly beauty
is fully appreciated, and thy intellectual en-
dowments acknowledged by the world, deign to
cast one condescending glance downward TO-
ward thy former friend and perpetual admirer,
and give one gracious thought of kind remem-
brance to sorrowing, disconsolate me, Doesticks.
Damphooll, thou art superlative-there is
none greater. Farewell? Henceforth, friend
ship is but name, and survive my bereave-
ment only to concentrate my affections upon my
embryonic whiskers. Sympathize with me, Mr..
