The Heavens BEFORE AND AFTER
DAwN.-l had occasion, few weeks
since, to take the early train from Prov
idence to Boston, and for this purpose
rose at two o'clock in the morning
Everything around was wrapt in dark.
ness and hushed in silence, broken only
by what seemed at that hour the un.
earthly clark and rush of the train. 1t
was a mild, serene, midSummer's night:
the sky was without a cloud, the winds
were whist. The moon, then in the last
quarter, had just risen, and the stars
shone with spectral lustre but little
affected by her presence. Jupiter, two
hours high, was the herald of the day;
the Pleiades, Just above the h,rizon.
shed their sweet influence in the east /;
Lyra sparkled near the zenith; andre
media yelled her newly discovered glo.
ries from the naked eye in the south !;
the steady pointers far beneath the pole,
looked meekly up from the depths of
the north to their sovereign. Such was
the glorious spectacle as entered the
train. As we proceeded, the timid ap
proach Of twilight became more per-
ceptible; the intense blue of the sky
began to soften the smaller stars, like
little children, went first to rest; the
sister beams of the Pleades soon melt
ed together; but the bright constelIa-
tions Of the west and the north remain
ed unchanged. Steadily the wondrous
TRANSFORMATION went on. Hands of an
gels hidden from mortal eyes shifted
the scenery of the heavens; the glories
Of night dissolved into the glories of
the dawn. The blue sky now turned
more softly gray; the great watch stars
shut up their holy eyes the east began
to kindle. Faint streaks of purple soon
blushed along the sky; the whole celes-
tial concave was filled with the inflow
ing tides of the morning light, which
came pouring down from above in one
great ocean Of radiance; till at length,
as we reached the Blue Hills, flash Of
purple fire blazed out from above the
horizon, ana turned the dcwy tear drops
Of flower and leaf into rubies and da-
monds. In few seconds, the everla3i-
ing gates Of the morning were thrown
wide open, and the lord of day, array
ed in glories too severe for the gaze of
man, began his state.--Edw. E'vereH.

n.zze The hand is found to BE- 81

ry@ The hand is found to be ano-
ther hand, when guided by an intelli-
gent mind. Individuals, who, without
the aid of knowledge, would have been
condemned to perpetual inferiority of
condition, and subjected to all the evils
Of want and poverty, rise to compc-
tence and independence by the uplifting
power Of education. In great estab-
lishnents, and among large bodies of
laboring men, when all services are
rated according to their pecuniary value
where there are no eXtrinsc circum-
stances to bind man down to a fixed
position, after he has shown q capacity
to rise above it-where, indeed, men
pass by each other, ascending or de.
scending in their grades of labor, just
as easily and certainly as particles of
water of different degrees of tempera-
ture glide by each other-under such
circumstances it is found as an almost
invariable fact, other things being
equal, that those who have been blessed
with a good common school education,
rise to higher and a higher point in
the kinds Of labor performed, and also
in the rate of wages received, while the
Ignorant sink like dregs, and are always
found at the bottom.-Prof MayheV.

A LITERAL JoKE.-The Parisians are
laughing over the last good story from
the German watering places. 1t appears
that the Princess n, who resides in a
sumptuous chateau, near the Baths of
Feuwied, sent dinner invitation, ac-
cording to her hospitable custom, to the
Major p, and officer on service at the
garrison near by. The major Glanced
to be on duty, and was obliged to de,
cline; but, ON sending his excuse by his
faithful sergeant, he told him to bring
his dinner as he came back-meaning,
Of course, that he should go for it to the
neighboring restaurant The subaltern
chanced to be very literal in his habit
Of mind, and he delivered the Mo
errandS al once, to the servant at the
gate of the chateau.
Very much astonishcd, at first, that
her proposed guest should send for his
dinner, the Princess soon entered into
the joke; and, ordering huge tray to be
sumptously laden from her kitchen, she
dispatched by the hands of the sergeant
and her own footman.
Astounded at the magnifcence of the
dinner for one,' the Major summoned
up his messenger, and soon came to an
explanation; but, quite too spiritual to
lose the enjoyment of the luxury, he IN
yited in couple of brother officers, and
they made capital feast Only before
sitting down, he gave the servant five
dollars, and instructed him to go to the
confectioner, and procure splendid cas-
tie of sweetmeats, taking it with his
compliments to the Princess.
All dutitully done-but her High
ness, in consideration Of the subaltcrn's
so well performing his duty, sent him
out dollar, for his perquisite as mes
senger.
Excuse mel, said the literal sergeant,
as he looked at the one dollar, and sup
posed that, of course, it was to pay for
the Confectionery he had bought, " Ex-
cusc me, but it cost .fUe! -Four dollars
more, if you pleasa!"
The Princess by this time understood
the character of the man, and she grave
ly sent out the other four dollars.
The major was still at dinner with
his feastlng brother officers, when the
faithful sergeant entered, with the mil
itary touch to his cap, and laid down the
five dollars on the table.
How many of his military buttons
the gallant offer burst off, in containing
his rage while the return of those five
dollars was explained, is not told in the
story.

COMMON SENSE US. SoIENcE.-A few
days since an old topper died rather sud
denly. The coroner, in consequence,
held an inquest, listened to the testimo-
ny Of a phisician, and was about giving
the verdict, Water on the brain, when
Mr.. Slocum 'riz' to object.
Mr.. Coroner, have known the de-
ceased for ten mortal years, and know
he had never seed a sober moment all
that time. TO say that such man can
die with water on the brain is therefore
blamed nonsense. 1t can'tbe did! Cause
why-he nevertook any into his system.
The true verdict, Mr.. Coroner, should
be, Gin, rum, or brandy on the brain :
but as we cannot getsuch verdict, am
willing to split the difference-compro-
mise-and bring in verdict as follows
-, Died from the effects Of brandy-anG
water on the brain The verdict was so
rendered.

GALLANT TO THE LAsr.-A correspnd-
ent writing on the "Woman Question"
says: Il confess, in all sincerity, that l
have not yet seec an ugly woman. This
may appear paradoxical, and still it is
the pure truth. Inever | find any wo-
man entirely ugly. | enlarged upon this
idea once before an audience of women.
One who was extremely fat-nosed, said
to me, Sir, | defy you not to find me
ugly You, madam, said |, 'are an an
gel fallen from heaven, only you have
fallen upon your nose
