| teacher in blind school once oave this sum
to one of the boys. He was to work it ont in his
mind a pile of sand is ten feet high, ten feet
vide, and seventy feet long. Each square solid
inch contains ten thousand grains. A bird comes
every thousand years and takes away one grain
| at time How long would il take to carry away
all the s.nd?' The little blind boy soon gave the
| answer, which was, that it would take 12O, $780,
h0n,d0o,000 years. What a long row or figures.
You can not form an idea of such a sum-. Now
put all the sand on the sea-shore into one heap,
and let bird take away one grain every thou
sand years till all is gone and yet that would not
be the end OF eternity. Eternity has no end.
Some of the ancients tried to give some idea of
eternity by drawing circle. A circle has no end.
In that tits like eternity. But inno otherresp
We can measure all circles But We can not meas
ure eternity. None but God knows what it is.
Mems bodies may die, but shall live again.
But their souls live on on, and on forever. Nor
do angels ever cease to live. All angels and all
men shall live as long as Godliyes.

WOMEN SHOULD SHuN Men OF BAD CHARAc-
TEg.-Did women feel the responsibility of the
station she holds in society-did she feel how
much she is the arbtress of mans destinies on
earth, nay, even beyond it, how different would
she act! Instead Of dispensing her smiles equal
y on the worthy and unworthy she would show
by her discountenancc of vice, how hatefplit was
to her; no matter how talented man was, how
graceful in his manners, or pleasing in person,
unless virtue was the guiding star Of his conduct
she should Danish him from her presence, as be-
ing unworthy of breathing the same air with her;
she would shrink from his society as she would
shun a.noxious reptile Is such the case? No.
No matter what mans vices,if he is handsome,
brilliant in conversation, and versed in arts of
attery, all the smiles and attentions are avished
on him that ought ODE bestowed only on the
virtuous; while the man who is endowed with
every good quality that can render him estimable
if wanting in the Snowy requirements of society, |
is treated with the utmost indifference this |
gives rise to the too generally received opinion F!
that, the worse man is, the more ageeable he
is to women. Can it then be wondered at, that, |
to meet her in society, win her affection by q |
thousand namclcss attentions; and slight them |
when won is the pastimc Of an hour to those hon |
eyed lattercrs, those destroyers ofwonlan's hap
piness, who like gilded serpent, captivates but
to ann!hilate. Were they regarded as the pests |
of society, instead ofbeing treated as its orna-
mcnts, the race would disappear.
A CunIoslrY.-We saw on Wednesday, with a
great deal Of wonder, at the store Of Mr.. W. T.
Cannon, a couple OF bottles each of which would |
hold over quart, and in one of which
saw mill in operation, and in the other IA -four
mill also in operation Both mills were moved |
by a crank in the neck of each bottle. The bot
ties and machinery are in possession ofMr. A II.
Buckingham, who is in the employ OF Mr.. Cannon.
Mr. Il. says the machinery were built within t!,eiS /
covering about thirty-five years ago, by person
then a resident of New York State, but now de-
ceased, lie did it on wager of 5000, which
he won in less than three years which was the
time allowed for the work. has been suggested
that the slass must have been blown over the
machinery; but il is also said that such a thing
would be impo ssiblc with such kind of bottles.-
They are full Of the machinery. which is braced
and pinned, and otherwise made strong. The
neck otc1ch bottle is filled with plug, which is
keyed close up to the neck. The mystery Of /
getting in the key, when there is hardly iaom
tetwecn the plug and the aeok ef the bottle to
get in ta9 as barge sh:ngle nail, is great
Us any other wendcr about the ingenious affair.
These c'iriosities may be seen by any body, for
Il few days, without any charge, OF course.-[N.
