sI WILL GALL AROUND AND PAY."-There
Is nothing more trying to the patience of q
mechanic, when hc presents his claim for set
Element, than the eternal repetition Of .he
stsreo tyled phrase "I will call round and
payp Some persons may utter it with an
honest Intention, but others do 1t as q mere
dodge, an excuse, to defer the day of payment.
A great Injustice in this way is done. A mo :
chanic rarely asks for his money unless he has
use for II, and then 1t is q serious disappoint-
ment not to get 1t. Those having the means
to pay their bills should never promise to call
round and pay, but should at once liquidate
the claim, remembering that the laborer is
worthy Of his hire, "that hope deferred maxi
eth the heart SICK" On the opposite page is
Q story which should be read by all those who
arc in the habit of promising to "call around
and pay" as its counterpart may be found in
almost every village Of our country. Too often
Che shoemaker, tailor and blacksmith are put
off in country, as well as town, by the promise
'a will call around and pay !" and kept in an
embarrassed and unpleasant position, merely
because they can not get that which Is their
own.

Mr.. EDITOR; AT the hour appointed for
the lecture last evening, DR.. B. +. Chatham oil
Odessa, Formerly of your city,) appeared at
the school house in this village where large
| audience, constituting the most intelligent part
of the people had assembled. His subject
'The Laws Of Nature arrested universal at
tention, not only by its appropriate and mas
summing Introduction, but by the general in
terest manifested throughout Its attractive and
varied divisions, viewed as a successful literary
performances. He entered into lucid expla-
nation of the laws and effects OF light and
heat.
The former he said originated by solar in
nuence, conclusion, friction, combustion, fer
mentation, collision and various other means
coming under the head Of chemical action.-
He then explained the influence of this agent
witnessed upon the material world, upon the
animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms, show
ing what temperatures mad been endured by
the human organism in the polar regions; re-
marking that DIR. Kane had survived in lati-
tudes where the mercury had fallen 10 degrees
below zero. (Fah.) Many other examples
were cited to prove the remarkable power of
the system In retaining caloric. Numerous
ILLUSTRATIONS were given in order to exemplily
the fact that the body can undergo a cores
ponding elevation OF temperature. Mention
ing young ladies who had withstood with APP
parent IMMUNITY sufficient heat to boil eggs,
roast beef and sundry other culinary operations.
In one instance if We mistake not, the mercury
stood at. He thought that the absence Of
heat Cor cold) was more fatal to life than its
excessive presence, for in the former the blood
recedes from the surface of the body circulat-
ing rapidly through the vital organs deranging
tbsir functions, particularly those Of the brain,
causing stupor and sleepiness, similar to the
effects of alcohol. It was with the greatest
difficulty that some Of DR.. Kane's men were
kept awake, wishing to sleep and die as they
remarked with pleasant resignation. After a
lengthy, anu comprehensive exposition OF
every practical principle of caloric, he intro
dnced light and threw many new lights upon
subjects previously unknown to many
his auditors. Time will not permit us even
to intimate the leading division of this theme
so eopious and replete of truth, chemical aud
philosophical, was every field he surveyed.
The lecture occupied nearly two hours time;
and at its close member of the society, in be-
half Of which it was delivered, arose and after
speaking in applauding terms Of the merits of
the DOCTOR, as a lecturer, business man and
christian, moved that a vote of thanks be-
rendered to him by the Association. This
motion received the unanimous adoption.
