WONDERS OF THE STARRY HEAVENS.

That profound astronomer Professor
Mitchell, has been delivering lectures in
New York the present winter. In his
last lecture, after speaking Of the unfath-
enable distances which no telescope can
penetrate, laying far beyond the system
in which the earth revolves, and yet fill
ed with independent systems of worlds
Of infinite numbers, he said:
Light traverses space at the rate of
a million miles a minute, yet the light
from the nearest star requires ten years
to reach the earth, and Herschers tele-
scope revealed stars two thousand three
hundred times further distant. The great
telescope of Lord Ross pursued these
creations Of God still deeper into space,
and having resolved the nebuln Of the
Milky Way into stars, discovered other
systems Of stars--beautifuI diamond

MATRIMONIAL BROKERAGE

The following sketch from the New
York Evening Post, sufficiently discIos-
es the scoundrelism and knavery of ad-
vertising husbands. Women should
avoid all such snares -
After having made our readers acquaint-
ed with so many virtuous and honest
characters, It is with great reluctance
that we introduce a rascal. The truth of
history, however, requires US to say that
the individual whose character will be
traced in this chapter, was an unmitiga-
ted scoundrel, who lived by the constant
practice Of fraud, and hated nothing so
much as honesty and justice. This indi-
vidual figured under so many different
aliases with which he concealed his iden-
tity, strange he did not actually forget
the original, derived from his father. He
must be known to our readers as James
Montgomery, since he assumed the cog
nomen Of that pious poet in the rascally
transaction to be related.
Mr.. Montgomery for some time made
it n regular profession to advertise for
wife, and to answer the advertisements o
others. He did not, of course, use tn
same name, or give the same description
Of himself, in al bis advertisements: bur
on the contrary, when he had made abou
as much as be could ont Of one name an
description, he would insert another.
This led him into awkward straits i
some cases for his correspondence wa
so extensive that he could not recoguiz
the handwriting Of each corresponds
after letters were cold and in three {
four instances his new advertisement
brought him in contact with old a
quaintances whom he had known und.
different names, and whom he had
cheated that they were ready to pull ev
ry hair from his head--a feat which
woman eGeciually performed on one
the occasions referred to.
The circumstances were these: 1

in New York, and wanted to take a brit

ners and good standing to correspond

rowing three hundred dollars, under {
pretext thar his remittance from the Sor

For grandmother's eyes are dim.

REAL EsTATE.-The year opened with
very duh market. Towards spring there
was a better feeling, but the breaking out Of
the Fraser river excitement soon put a stop 20
all inquiries for opportunities to invest. As
the excitement grew more intense many
small property holders became infected with
TIE fever, and real estate was forced on
| dull market, in small lots, and sold at what
ever sacrifice, y parties determined to cmi
CRATE to the new gold mines. During the
spring and summer there were large numbers
Of vacant buildings in the city, and rents
continued TO decline
In August and September the city began
to fill up rapidly by the return of thousands
Of the Fraser rivcrtes, and by the largely
increased immigration from the Atlantic
States. All the vacant buildings were soon
occupied, rents improved, and dwelling hou-
ses began to 90 up in considerable numbers
in all parts of the city There was also an
unusual number Of costly brick edifces com
menced, and thenceforth city improvements
have been going forward on an extensive
scale, involving an expenditure during the
year Of from n million and half to two mill
ions of dollars.
The successful opening of the overland
mail routes soon after the city began to fill
up, with the prospect of new lines of ocean
steamers going into successful operation,
Thereby furnishing facilities for an increased
immigration, with other causes, combined to
renew confidence i'll real estate investments.
| There has since been better feeling in re-
| gard to the permanent prospects of this city,
! than for years before. Several capitalists
have been making quite heavy investments.
One monied man, resident of the city since
! 1850 invested in the course Of a few weeks,
about 100000 purchasing several choice
pieces of property. Instances have been
! quite numerous of the purchase Of lots at ten
thousand, twenty thousand and thirty thou
sand dollars each. During September, Oc-
toher and November it is stated that more
capital has been invested in real property
than during any similar period since 1853
All kinds of desirable property, centrally To-
Gated has improved in value in the neigh
| borhood Of 80 per cent since the movement
| commenced.
The present prosperity and cheering indi-
cations for the future the plcntitude of mon
| ey, together with the overthrow Of that in
cubus Limantour title" and the death blow
that our Supreme Court has given squatter-
| ism, are the main causes which have induced
capitalists to invest in real estate. While
good paying property meets with a ready
sale, the demand has not been speculative,
and it is to be hoped it will not become So
| The growth of our city is gradual and healthy
and if we would prosper, it must not be fore
ed beyond this natural tendency.-S. f.
