manifold are the bearings Of money up
on the lives and characters Of mankind,
that an insight which should search out
the life Of a man in his pecuniary rela-

Granny Of his nature. He who knows,
like St. Paul, both how to spare and
how to abound, has great knowledge

with which money is mixed up-hones-

THE DROPPED LETTER.

The New York Evening Mirror makes
beautiful application of an every day
circumstance in the following para
graph on "The Dropped Letter %
A peculiar sensation is felt in drop
ping letter, especially if it is one of
value, into the box of a mammoth post
., Office, like that of New York for exam
pie. One feels sort of teyulsion, as
: If part of himself as. it were, had fall
len into an unfathomable abyss, never
to be recovered. The act strikes the
heart like destiny irreverslble and for
ever. If any error has occurred in this
letter, it is entirely beyond correction !;
if anything happens at the instant, as
there sometimes does, which ought to
make change, there is no help for it.
What is done, and past redemption
No repentance will avail. You would
something otherwise, but it cannot be.
] 1t is too late. The missive has passed
away, and is no longer yours or subject
to your alienation or control.
So it is with every human action, is
it not? The consequences are beyond
recall. "The deed has been done and
there's an end Of it," is common ex-
preston, heard especially often from
the impulsive and the careless. But
there is not the end Of it. Happy
would it be for the doer if it were. But
large consequences flow from these acts
so recklessly done, SO lightly viewed af-
terwards. A considerate person on
responsible occasions will experience
something Of the feeling Of the letter
dropper. He will pause and reflect be-
fore dismissing his deed into the abyss
of time, lest some error may be wrap
ped up in it, that could then, and then
only, before the fatal plunge, be recti-
fed, and save the actor from remorse.
A few moments Of reflection at the
proper time may save life time of
compunctious visions.

SLAM ETIoUETTE.-When the Siamese am
bassadors were presented recently to Queen
Victoria they threw themselves on their
hands and knees. and went the whole length
of the room on all fours, and the principal
ambassador laid his chin on the step of the
throne and read his address in that position,
and after the formalties they all backed out
in the same awkward style. The royal grav-
ity was sorely tried by the ridiculous spec
tacle. When the distinguished foreigners
were invited to lunch in one of the state
apartments they all pulled out their pipes
and filled the hall with cloud Of smoke, to
the great horror of the court and disgust Of
the Queen, who abominates the weed.

The Cold OF SpACE.-For every
mile that we leave the surface Of the
earth, the temperature falls five degrees.
AT forty-fve miles distance from the
globe we get beyond the atmosphere,
and enter, strictly speaking, the regions
of space, whose temperature is 225 de-
grees below zero; and here cold reigns
in all its power. Some idea Of this
may be=formed by stating that the
greatest cold observed in the Arctic
circle is from forty to sixty below zero, :,
and here many surprising effects are
produced. In chemical labratory the
greatest cold that we can produce is
100 below zero. At this temperature
carbonic acid gas becomes solid sub
stance like snow. If touched it produ-
ces Just the same effect on the skin as
a red hot cinder; it blisters the finger
like burn.
Quicksilver and mercury freeze at
forty degrees below Zero; that is sew
enty degrees below the temperature at
which water freezes. The solid mer-
curry may then be treated as other met
ais, hammered into sheets, or made in
to spoons, however, would melt in water
as warm as ice. It is pretty certain
that every liquid and gas that we are
acquainted with would become solid if
exposed to the cold of the regions of
space. The gas We light our houses
with would appear like wax oil would
be in reality Gas hard as arock - pure
spirit which we have never yet solidifed
would appear like block Of transpar-
ent crystal. Hydrogen gas would be-
come quite solid, and resemble metal;
we should be able to turn butter in a
lathe like ivory, and the fragrant odors
of flowers would yield no perfume.-
These are a few of the astonishing ef-
fects of cold.-Cor. Scientific timer.

protection, and would form a line of guards
for the mail. The advantage to government
would be an immediate communication he.

paragraph:
Stephen A. Douglas has been, as | think,
alacted Senator from Illinois for the last
time. Should lie be brought forward by
the r publican party, the great portion OF
them would not vote tor him for fear that he
would tnrn traitor to them as he had done
to the Democratic party. As for his being

danger of that for as soon as they fully

Mrs. Sealy, of that vicinity, died under the
following extraordinary circumstances:
"About two weeks previous to her death,
a small garter snake made its way through
the floor of the residence, and wrapped itself
around the ankle of the unfortunate woman,
who was frightened into spasms. For two
weeks she was confined to her bed, in a state
of insensibility, and her actions partook Of
the snake nature-twisting her body into all
kinds of shapes, sticking her head up in
snake like manner, &c. At the expiration
of this period death interviewed, and reaiev-
ed the sufferer from earthly troubles .
