1t is now (almost) demonstrated that
all the manifold objects which surround
us throughout the created Kingdoms, aie
composed of atoms-absolute, indiyis:-
bic particles of matter and that these
very minute atoms, or, as we might call
them, these starting points of magnitude,
arc variable in size and shape, correspon-
ding with the different substances which
they respectively compose.
Human life is composed of PARTICLES
linked together in continual round Of
little occurrences, occurrences, and con-
currences, and if we do not properly es-
innate the true mission of these little cir
cumstances, their attendant results, the
lessons they teach, the truths they en-
body--in short, if we do not understand
the moves, we shall continually find our
selves playing a losing game upon the
great chessboard of life. Many young
man who is waiting for some astonish-
ing development" to establish his future
course and place him upon the high road
to earthly distinction, is continually ne
glecting those little events which are
iranspirmg every day around him, and
which will, after ALL determine to great
extent his future destiny. i is needless
to recount the many important discover
les of science which owe their origin to
mere accident, and to n proper attention
to those minor circumstances which are
constantly arising in the course of aue
/ pertinent or investigation. The falling
of an apple may appear to most minds to
be trihng thing, yet it is a phenome-
non, and through the influence of mind
ready to catch at any passing event to
unfold the hidden truths Of philosophy,
it has proved the key to one of the most
beautiful and elaborate theories of med
ern science-the law Of universal gravi-
tation.
a proper education is but the applica-
ton of the microscope to the intellectual
eye, by which are magnified into actual,
tangible existence, the yelled mysteries
of the unseen world and how happy
the arrangement that no particle of mat
ter, even of the microscopic system, Is
ever lost The soltest whisper never dies.
but is waited increasingly throughout all
the mighty realms of space How much
more, then, will survive those little acts
of loye,--a smile, kind word, noble
deed they revol7e in a shining orbit of
their own, and are ever returning to bless

Sale of 1T. Smelling.

The report of the majority of the Sc
lect Committee on the facts and circum-
stances attending the sale of Ft. Smelling
was made on the eth ult., to the House
1t enters fnlly into history of the pro-
ceedings, and says that the sale was eff
fected with such privacy that outside OF
the Secretary of War, none but the com
bination Immediately interested, had any
knowledge of it; and that the facts oh
tanned publicity only after the confirma
ton of the sale by the Secretary of War
that no special authority was given him
to sell military posts or reservation until
they had aready become useless; that
this legal occasion for the sale of Fort
Smelling had not occurred and hence was
without legal authority and that the
preliminaries for the sale were being made
when there are actual and threatened
hostilites.
The Committee show the value of the For
as a depot and that the price paid for i
was below its intrinsic value, and say tha
publicity of the sale ought to have beer
sought, and the land subdivided in par.
cells to enable men Of small means tc
buy, and that the sale on contract was
not authorized by law The report is sign

a STRANGE DEMONSTRATION has her
marvellous heroes, but now and then
some plain creature of every day fac t sur
passes them in romentic adventure.
In 1855 young man was arrested in
Cleveland, on charge of passing coun-
terfeit money, and on evidence which
many thought insufficient, was convicted
and sentenced to the Penitentary. lie
was brought to Columbus and incarcer-
ated but it was not long before he eff
ected his escape, and successfully eluded
pursuit. He fled without daring 10 show
himself to any one, until about thirty
miles from the city, when spent and fam
ished, he ventured to apply at a house
rather remote from others for shelter and
food. Both were promptly afforded him.
The poor woman who dwelt there alone
with her two children, was true to the
generous instincts of her nature, and ad
mitted to hearth and board-not the es-
capped convict, but the weary, hunted
hungry wretch, who claimed from her
that boon
(Which all the happy to the unhappy ewe."
He rested and refreshed himself; and
when he again set forth upon his wan
derings, she gave him suit of citizens
clothes. Thus disguised, he Travelled
northward, until within short distance
of Cleveland, when he obtained work
and earned forty dollars, which he sen
to the woman who had saved him. Ii,
then went to New York, engaged in bust
ness, and prospered. Still he remember
ed his benefactress, md recently she re
ceived from him three hundred dollars.
The truth, meanwhile, came 10 light
1t became apparent that he was guillles:
of the crime with which he had beer
charged and had suffered for sin h,
had never committed.
A petition signed BY the Judge VIII,
ISsad passed sentence upon him. the jury
which had found him guilty, and sixty
six members of the Cuyahoga bar, anl
authenticated by the members of tn,
Legislature from that county, was sen
to the Governor, praying for the pardon
of the escaped convict.
Here n difficulty arose. He could no
be pardoned as long as he was not in tn
custody of the State. He was commu
nicated with I; and came to Columbus
within few days past, and gave himsel
up to the Warden of the Penitentiary =
He was once more placed in the prison
and the key turnod upon him.
There his pardon was handed him, an,
he came forth-not more guiltless thar
| before-but certain in his liberty and th
esteem of his fellow-men.

WAGGERY.-Some time ago, on the
Sabbath day, we wended our way to one
of our churches, and instead of a sermon
heard an address upon some missionary
or other benevolent subject. After the
address was concluded, two brethren were
sent around with the baskets for contri-
buttons. Parson L., who was one of the
basket-bearers, taking the side where we
sat. Immediately in our front and upon
the next seat negligently reclined our
friend Bill H., gentleman of infinite
humor and full of dry jokes. Parson l..
extended the basket and Bill slowly shook
his head.
Come, William, give us something
said the parson.
" Can't do it replied Bill.
"Why not 3? Is not the cause a good
one 20
Yes but am not able to give any
thing"
" Poh poh l know better; yo,
must give better reason than that"
Well, | owe too much money /;

But, William, you owe God larger
debt than you owe any one else
That's true, parson but then he ain
a pushing me like the balace of my cred
itors.
The parsons face got into rather Gu
rious condition as he passed on.

Teasing up q "Purty'' Look.

About a fortnight since, as we gather
the facts from one who knows exactly
how to picter out funny variations, a
couple of "lovyers, anxious to secure
each others shadow ere the substance
faded, stepped into an ambrotype estab-
lishment in our place for the purpose of
getting propAiles. The lady gave pre-
cedence to her swain, who, she said,
" had to be tuck fust and raal naturl"
He brushed up his towhead of hair,
gave a twist or two to his neckerchief,
knocked the " dew from off his turnip
nose, asked his g'h.si If his shirt collar
stood about o X, and planted himself in
the operators chair, where he soon as
sumed the physiognomical characteris-
tics of a poor mortal in dentists hands
about to part with an eye-tooth.

begged the loves sick nymph, casting al
her intended spouse one of her languish-
ing glances.
The picture was taken, and when pro-
duced, it reminded the girl, as she ex-
pressed it, !" jist how Steve looked artel
gittin over the measles - and as this
was not an era in her suitor's history
particularly worthy Of their commemo

him to the chair.
"Steve," said she, "just look like

The poor fellow tried to follow the in
definite injunction.

with as little success. AT last growing

A CHESS STORY.
ILLrsTRATivE OF a PICTURE.

"A mate mate !" maiden cried,
One pleasant summers day,
When, with her lover by her side,
They joined in rival play
In rival play at glorious chess,
The nebIest of all games,
Whose ivory images possess
Such very royal names.
"A mate mate" she wildly said,
As with impetuous haste
Her queen across the board she sped,
And by his monarch placed.
So confident she seemed to be,
Such boldness in her mein,
He did not for moment see
His king could take her queen!
"A mate mate ~ at last he cried;
"Yes, It's mate see,
But only such, my darling pride,
As l would have from thee J"
He said, and round her lovely form
His manly arm he pressed,
Till she, unto his passion warm,
An answering love confessed.
" a filate mate !" young Cupid sang ;,
As through the room he flew,
This may be chess, but yet / guess
'Tis nothing very new
The oldon game, whate its name,
Is still the same see;
When woman sweet, and man compete
There's sure a mate to be
