The PRoGREss or LIFE.-Men rejoice
when the sun has risen; they rejoice also
when it goes down; while they are uncon-
scious of the decay Of their own lives. Men
rejoice on seeing the face of new season,
as at the arrival Of one greatly desired.
Nevcrlh less the revolution Of one season
is the decay of man. Fragments of Drift
wood meeting in the wide ocean continue
together little space thus. parents, wives,
children, friends and riches, remain with US
a short time, then scparate-ths separation
is inevitable. No mortal can escape tho
common lot he who mourns for departed
relatives, has no power to cause them to re-
turn. One standing on the road would
readily say 10 number Of persons passing
by, " will FLOW you;" why, then, should
n person grieve when jourpeying the same
road which has been assuredly travelled by
all our forefa,hers 2 Life resembles cata.
ract rushing down with irresistible impetu-
osity. Knowing that the end of life is death,
every right minded man ought to pursue
that which is connected with happiness and
ultimate bliss.

A Marvellous Copiurer.

The Russians have long exhibited re-
markabfe taste for Juggling and all that
smacks of the marvellous. Conjurers, pro-
fessors OF natural magic, ventriloquists, and
the entire race of mountebanks, who in
France and England astonish the gaping
crowds at races and country fairs, ever find
q ready welcome and liberal encouragement
among the higher classes in the Russian ci-
ties About the beginning of the present
century, species of Cagliostro, or rather a
superior kind Of Wizard of the North, made
his appearance at St. Petersburg. and aston
ishcd the natives by his marvellous perform
ances. His Eame was Pirnetti, and his
fame is yet retained in the memory of those
who witnessed his unrivalIed talents.
The Gar, Alexander, having heard Pr.
netti much spoken of, was desirous of see.
ing him, and one day it was announced to
the conjurer that lie would have the honor
of giving a representation of his magical
powers at court, the hour fixed for him to
n "6'1,tairs amN" frnmerohs Assembly of radie1s
and eourtlers, presided over by the Car,
had met, bu; tie conjurer was absent. Sur.
Pr'sed and displeasel, the Car pulled out
his watch, which indicated five minutes of.
ter seven. Pirnetti had not only failed in
being in waning, but he had caused ,be
court 10 wait. and Alexander was not more
patient than Louis XIV A quarter of an
hou, passed, half an hour, and no P;rnetti
Messengers who had been sent IN search for
him, returned, unsuccessful. The anger of
the Car, with difficulty restrained, display.
ed itself in threatening exclamations. At
length, after the lapse of an hour, the door
OF the saloon opened, and the gentleman of
the chamber announced Pirnetti, who pre.
sented himself with calm front and the Sc.
renity of one who had nothing to reproacb
himself with. The Car, however. was
greatly displeased but Pirnetti assumed an
air Of astonishment, aud replied with the
greatest coolness, "Did MT your majesty
command my presence at seven o'clock pre-.
ciselyl' T.
"Just sol" exclaimed the Gar at the
height Of evaporation.
Well, then," said Pirnet.i, "let your
majesty deign to look at your watch, and
you will perceive that am exact, and that
it is just seven"

HEAVY DAMAGES FOR INJURIES on TIE

HEAVY DAMAGES FOR INJURIES on TIE
HIGHwAY.-ln the Supreme Court, now in
session in Salem, Judge Merrick presiding,
the case of William Peabody, of Top<feld,
vs.. the Town of Middleton, was tried, the
case occupying four days. The plaintiff al
lodged that, rs he was riding with his son
over bridge in Middleton, his horse put
his hoof in n crevice between the last plank
of the ridge and the land, in consequence
of which the horse fell, breaking his legs,
and the conclusion throwing Mr.. Peabody
against the top Of the carriage, slightly in
jured him. The accident occurred in Au-
gust, 1863. The defendants alledged that
the horse, carriage and harness, cost but
thirty five dollars year before the accident,
and that tie harness was by all odds the
most valuable part of the establishment but
notwithstanding this, the jury returned a
verdict of 1925, being fraction over one
dollar head for every man, woman and
child residing in the town which was de.
fendant in the suit.-Boston Journal.

a CURE FOR SrIcIDE.-The number of
deaths from suicide in New York last year
was sixty-two. During the year previous,
the number was siXty-three, so there has
been no remarkable increase. Throughout
England the crime of suicide has recently
been much on the increase, and in London
it has lattcrly assumed frightful proportions.
So serious has the matter become, that the
city magistrates propose an appeal to Par
lament next session, based on returns lust
made by the Police Commissioners, which
shows that the suicides and attempted sui
cidcs in the city have been doubled or quad
rupled within the last few years. AS re-
medy. the Christian Advocate, of New York,
proposes the enactment Of law consignino
to the schools of anatomy the body of every
individual, Of whatever rank in life, whom
a coroner's jury should declare to have conf
mite! .teIo de sc. Such Il remedy might
prove effective.

Dream of Home.
| only see through binding tears
The wild vines round the doorway cling.
And ever in my wea"y ears ling,
The wild-birds' songs are ringing.
In the stil watches of the night
Soft sleep to my sealed eyes discloses
The Eden of my young delight
Embowered amid its roses.
Once more in the oldhome stand
And see those dear familiar faces,
The pressure on my mothers hand,
feel her warm embraces.
Beside the softly flowing ril
l see my little brothers playing,
And oer the green and sloping hill
My sweet-voiced sisters straying.
With those dear loved ones, hand in hand
| wander through the mountain passes,
Or pausing, twine with careless hand
A wreath of flowers and grasses.
I muse beside the flowing rill
Upon its violet banks reclining.
Or climb at twilight's hush the hill
To watch the Suns declining
Beside my vine-clad easement set
touch the harp with skilIful fingers,
Or watch the western hills where yet
The fading sunlight fingers.
The verdant lawns, the tranquil lake
see in softest moonlight sleeping,
The vision vani>hes-I wake
TO pass the night in weeping.

THE EYE.-While the human eve has
been admired by ordinary observers for the
beauty of its form, the range and quickness
OF It's movements, and the variety of its ex-
preston, 1t has excited the wonder Of phi
Iosophers by the exquisite mechanism OF its
interior, and the singular adaptation to the
number of purposes which it has to serve.
The eyebal is nearly globular, being of a
spheroidal form like an orange, its smallest
diameter being that which we direct to ob
Jects when we wish to see them most dis.
tinctly. 1t moves in socket elegantly pre-
pared for its reception, and fabricated by a
peculiar secretion, which entirely removes
the friction, and consequently, the irritation
with which its motions would have been
otherwise accompanied. BY means Of six
muscles attached TO il, IL can direct itself,
without moving the head, to almost every
point of hemisphere; but when the motion
OF the head or body is combined with that
OF The eyeball, it can command almost a
continuous picture-a panorama Of everything
around it.
