SEEING THE ELePHANT.-A friend tells
us of rich incident that occurred tho
other day in the courtroom at Frank.

of the elephant are very forcibly illustra-
ted 1t seems that, on the day in ques.
tion, a menagerie was expected in tho
city. and the people wero naturally on the
quivive for tie approaching sights-an
interest in which as the sequal shows, his
Honor the Judge keenly participated.
Notwithstanding, the court was held on
that day though not exactly as usual.
In the progress of the mornings business
case Of continuance arose which tho
Judge was evidently not at all inclined
to favor. His counteuance, indeed, grew
absolutely stern with dlsfavor. Tho law.
yer in charge, having urged his plea with
all the ingenuity and ability at his com.
mand, was at length in the act Of yield
ing the point in despair. when a brother
lawyer, especially up to snuff roso and
whispered into bis ear that the menagerio
had arrivcd.a and the elephant would swim
the river! The suggestion was big with
relief. Frightening with hope, the willy
lawyer at once drew himsefu up deterrent.

The hit was palpabla. The intelligence

The Shortest Day.

The sun reaches the winter solstice on
the twcnty.sccond day of December.
which is Of course tho shortest day to the
people residing in the Northern TTemis.
phere. But why is it the shortest day ?
The inclination Of the ecliptic, or sun's
path in the heavens, to the equator causes
that luminary to pass twenty-three dc.
greGs and twenty.eight minucts alternate
ly north and south Of the equator. and it
is on the day above-named that the sun
reaches its extreme southern limit As
it is a law of mechanics that luminary
can light hut half a sphere at ono time,
of course the northern limit Of the suns
rays must fall just as many degrees short
of tho north pole as the sun itself is south
of the equator and the illuminator, at
the same time reaches an equal lumber
of degrees over and beyond the south
pole.
Tho Northern Hemisphere will there
fore have more shadows than light, and
the nights will be longer than the days
The further we proceed from the equator,
the greater the discrepancy will appear
until wo reach the north pole. which is
immersed in a six months uight. The
sun will not lift its disc above the hori.
SON to person standing at the pole { if
that were possible for three months to
come, or until the luminary again in its
northern progress reaches the equator
AT the precise moment its rays touch
both poles, but they are speedily with
drawn from the southern one as the cqui
noctial line is crossed.
There are several days at this season
when the variation in leugth will he very
little, if any the reason Of which is this.
When the sun reaches the extreme limit
Of its path. aud is about to return, there
Is IA considerable distance where the eclip.
tic is very nearly PARALLEL with tho cqua-
tor. and therefore the lumuary neither
approaches nor departs north CT south.
If the two circles We have named coiu
eide througbout-,hat is to say, it the
earths axis were perpendicular to the
plane Of the ecliptic the sun would al
ways be Oh the equator there would be
no changes of the seasons, the days and
nights would always be twelve hours each;
aud our daylight and darkness would be
such as we experience on the twentieth
of March and the twenty-iLird Of Sep
tember.

A wickedness 10 taste n drop Of wine;

And grapes and grain, cngcndering alcohol,

And shareholders become directors prey.

And is the tribe of swindlcrs, as = class,

Did Strahan psrtskc the spirit and the sin
Was Bates by balcful brandy overcome
Did Sadlicr fall by wbiskcy or by rum
And have the victims Of the British Bank,
The bottle for their robbery TO thank

And honesty imbibed in drinking tea,
Could honor be in ginger beer conveyed,
Integrity infused in lemonade;
Let Parliament of swipcs the sale restrain,
And Punch will below FOR the law OF Maine
