A very Interesting experiment was
tried at Chicago, some time ago, TO asser.
tain the ammount Of oxygen necessary to
support life, Six hundred persons were
placed in hall in one of the hotels, all
the doors and windows were closed, and
The experiment began. During the first
half hour nothing was observed except
universal drowsiness, which was wardsd
of as long as possible by an ingenious
device of the experimenter, in the shape
of an eloquent lecture. During the second
half hour several sank into deep sleep,
from which it was impossible to rouse
them, and few tainted. At the end of
the third half hour it was deemed unsafe
TO continue the experiment longer, and the
fact was considered established that under
the circumstances life would become ex!

PLAyINo RoBINsoN CRUsoE.-The n
Detroit Free Press relates Robinson
Crusoe story of three young lads who ran
away from their anxious mammas in that
city, took to the lake in an old sklf, and
were hunted after by the police for some
time. 1t says:
1t being known that they were sometimes
in the hlbit of going 10 Belle Isle, two
miles above the city, to fish. Search was
instituted in that direction.
An old Frenehman on the Island
reported that colony of some mysterious
description was settled on the upper end
of the Island, but he was unable to say
who its members were composed f.-c
Further investigations, however, revealed
the fact that the new colony was made up {
of the romantic young runaways whose
rnammas were in search Of them. They
were snugly demicied in an old fishing
hut Of small dimensions, the cracks Of
which they had stopped with grass and
weeds. An old fire place in one corner,
with mud chimney, was well supplied
with driftwood from the beach, aud skill
let and tin kettle constituted their cooking
utensils. Three blankets and a bench
completed the outfit. On the walls we're
hung the fishing tackle. .....,. -.
l. When first surprised, the runaways
were engaged in the agreeable occupation
of demolishing large pike, which had
been cooked in the skillet, with no seas
oning but salt. They said they had had
lots of fun, and plenty of fish TO eat, and
were intending 10 rerisin all summer If
they had not been discovered The oldest
only about twelve years of age, said that
the idea had been put into his head by
reading Robinson Crusoe, and that he
| had persuaded the other, of. Their fel.
icily was complete, with the exception
that they wanted man Friday, to secure
whom they had contemplated crossing
over TO Canada and kidnapping small
Kanuck boy This was abandoned as tod
dangerous, considering the small avail
able force, and it was then planned that
one Of them should return TO The city and
coax his sweetheart, little girl, TO come
and live with them and cook the fish.
This plan would have been carried out
} had they not been found. They were
returned to their mammas with colds
| from sleeping on the floor. r-

A RArnpoAD lNcIDENT.---Conducto
WoodalI, of the Litde Miami (Ohio)
Railroad, noticed a young girl in his train
gong East, and came to collect her fare.
He observed that she had but ga, although
she was going 10 New York, but cume
West to work, and had been taken sick.
This story was told 30 candidly that the
conductor, who had watched the narrator
closely, could not doubt lis truth. ,. 49,
Elf lhat is the case, can not take
your money" he said, -..gr s
"hdeed, sir, il is true = '..1 ... VI
Then iukc your money back" was
his answer, and he passed along.
Through with his collections, he relat-
ed the circumstance to a couple of gentle
men passengers, and proposed to head a
subscription list if they would go through
the train and take up collection for the
girl. The gentlemen readily agreed to
this, and in few minutes had the pleas
ure of handing the girl $l7, enough &c
pay her way to New York. She knew
nothing of the movement Until she receiv
ed the meney, when her grateful feelings
gave vent TO coplous tears. No one
doubted her honesty, -
| But Woodall was not satisfied. Before
she left the train, he gave hera memoran
DUN setting forth the route she should
take. and card, which he requested her
Ito use instead Of tickets. On the care
was written the following:
TO ny Brother Conductors.--I hay'

lrain TO Columbus. A collection wa
taken up for her, and $l7 placed in he
hands by the passengers. For God
sake don't take a cent Of H.. WooDALL

This no doubt enabled her to reacl
home safely, and with money in he
purse.

Fifty Years Ago.
BY W. d. GALLAGHER.

A song of the early times out West,
And our green old forest home,
Whose pleasant memories freshly yet
Across the bosom come
A song for the fresh and gladstone life,
In those early days we led,
With teeming soil beneath our feet,
And smiling heaven ore our head!
Oh the waves of life danced merrily,
And had joyous howj
In the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
The hunt, the shot, the glotious chase,
The captured elk or deer:
The camp, the big bright fire, and then
The rich a nd wholesome cheer;
The sweet, sound sleep at dead of night,
BY our camp fire blazing high,
Unbroken by the VOLTS long howl, -
And the panther springins by.
Oh merrily passed the time, despite
Our willy Indian foe, f
In the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago. rr .... ....
We Stunned not labor; when twas done
We wrought with right good will:
And for the homes we wrought for them,
Our children bless us still.
We lived not hermit lives, but oft
In social converse met
And fires of love were kndled there,
That burn as warmly yet.
Oh pleasantly the stream of life
Pursued its constant flow,
In the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
We felt that we were fellow men;
We felt we were band, . .
Sustained here in the wilderness,
BY Heavens upholding hand. @
And when the solemn Sabbath came,
We gathered in the wood, 11 .G -
And lifted up our hearts in prayer
To God, the only good.
Our temples then were earth and sky;
None others did we know,
In the days when we were Pioneers,
Hf. Fifty years ago. .l
p Our forest life was rough and rude, ..
And dangers closed us round; @
But here amid the green old trees, 49,.
We freedom sought and found. .. ..
OFT through our dwellings, winIry blasts
Would rush with shrek and moan;
We cared not, though they were but frail,
We felt they were our own.
Oh! free and manly lives we led,
Mid yerdure or mid snow, cd. ID.
In the days when we were Pioneers,
|, Fifty years ago. .rr.- .d
But now our course Of life is short;
And as from day to day,
We're marching on with halting step,
And fainting by the way,
Another land, more bright than this,
To our dim sight appears, ,t..
And on our way to it We'll soon
Again be Pioneers. .... Il.
Yet while we linger we may all
A backward glance still throw,
To the days when we were Pioneers,
Fifty years ago. ..-.-t r4..-.,,

Young science lifts the curtain from
old theology, aud reveals all his hldeous
deformities at the judgement bar Of the
worlds intelligence. He gradually rolls
back the dark cloud of superstitious igno-
rance that has SO long enshrouded the re.
ligious elements of mans nature, and
ushers in the dawning of new day,
when his electric chains shall bear the
tidings of love from shore to shore, and
encircIe humanity in universal embrace.
If we review the blessings of physical
science, we see that il has delineotod the
motions of the heavenly bodies, ella ssiiied
the several geological stratums, analyzed
the component parts of animal and vege-
table matter, and rendered electricity,
steam, and atmosphere, subservientto our
will. But it has not stopped here. Ii
boldly knocks TO be admitted to seat in
the mind, and has mapped out many Of
the chronological developments, and is
still putting forth new energies II has

material world, reared its lofty pinnacles
toward tho sky, and now seeks udmitlanoe
into the spiritual universe, there to re-
veal the mysterious secrets Of the never
ending existence.
