A TEMPER ANCE SroRY.-Deacon Johnson is great
temperance man, and sets good example Of total alb
stnence As far as he is seen. Not long ago he en-
ployed carpenter to make some alterations in his
paror and in repairing the corner, near the fire place,
it was found necessary to relieve the wainscotng,
when 10 discovery was made that astonished every
body. brace of decanters, tumbler, and pitcher
were costly reposing there as if they had stood there
from the beginning. The deacon was summoned, and
as he behcd the blushing bottles he exclaimed
"Wall, I declare, that is curious, sure enough. 1t
must be that old Baines left them things there when
he went out of this ere house thirty years ago.
Perhaps he did" returned the carpenter, 60 but
deacon, the ice in the pitcher must have been triz
mighty hard to stay so till this time"
1t afterwards appeared that there was secret door
in the cupboard on the other side.

CoLD.-For every mile that we leave the surface of
our EARTH the temperature falls degrees. At forty
five miles distance from the globe get beyond the
atmosphere and enter strictly speaking, into the
gions of space, whose temperature is 225 degrees
below zero, and here cold reigns in all its power
Some idea Of this intense cold may be formed by
stating that the greatest cold observed from the arctic
circle is from 40 to 60 degrees below zero, and here
many surprising effects produced In the chemi.
cal laboratory the greatest cold that we can produce
is about $50 degrees below At this temperature
carbonic gas becomes solid substance like snow. If
touched, it produces just the effect the skin
as n red,hot cinder it bsters the fingers like burn
Quicksilver Or mercury freezes at 40 degrees below
zero that is, II degrees below the temperature at
which water freezes. The solid mercury may then
be treated as other metals hammered into Sheets
made into spoons such spoons would, however, melt
in water as warm as ice. 1t is pretty certain that
every liquid and gas that acquainted with
would become solid if exposed to the cold of the re-
gons of space. The gas we light our streets with
would appear like wax oil would be in reality " as
hard as rock y pure spirit which we have never
yet solidifed would appear like a block of transpa-
rent crystal hydrogen gas would become quite solid,
and resemble metal we should be able to turn but
ter in lathe like piece of ivory and the fragment
odors of flowers would have to be made hot before
they would yield perfume. These are few of the
astonishing effects of cold. ESeptimus Presse.

not particle of aristocratic exclnsiveness about
them, The Governor knew that man was man,
provided his character and conduct were good, and
was no subscriber to the doctrine that fine feathers
make fine birds" Homespun or velvet, he cared not
what the garb was, provided the Wearer carried MS
heart in the right place.
One day man who had some business with the
Governor arrived at his house on horseback. Seeing
roughly dressed man at work near the door he pull
ed IN and called out say you, sir, does Governor
Chittenden live here?n The man nodded. Very
well, old fellow, said the rider, dismounting you

AsTRoNoM1cAL.-It is now commended that every
member of the solar system had Originally very high
temperature but has been gradually cooling from
radiation. II this to proceed as is believed it
does, without interruption, it will descend to point
at which all vitality is impossible and must of neces
sty cease The earth occupies the temperate of
our system. AS to the moon, the changes which the
earth's surface, charged with atmospheric clouds,
would continually present to lunaran, are never
moon. The moon has neither atmosphere such as
ours nor twilight. The equatorial temperature of the
moon must therefore be lower than that of the EARTH
The length of her day and night too other added
conditions equally unfavorabe either to animal or
vegetable life The surface of the most distant planet
may possibly it is argued have once been the theater
of active life that is at period and during such
remaining at the temperature suitable for such cir
cumstances. The gradual process of cooling from
radiation, which is going on even now, in time WILL
stop the wheels of vital existence
