4 scieu,iflc view Of The Boomerang.


Everybody has heard of that wonderful
nplement of war, the Australian boone
lng. Its modus operandi has long been
terror to travellers and puzzle to civ
lied men generally. 1t is the most par
'loxical, eccentric and unaccountable OF
lman inventions in its action, which
eems to be violation Of all the estab-
bhed laws of motion and gravity.
The American Almanac for 1859, re-
Entlr issued, contains an article on the
Inject by Prof. Lowering, of Howard
University. who has undertaken to anal
he the laws that govern it and reduce
EN- to scientific principles. The article
exceedingly interesting and ingenious,
! hid gives the most complete and intelligi-
le account of this curious weapon thathas
ct been published.
The boomerang is a piece OF fiat, hard
eavy wood, variously described as from
tghteen to forty inches in length, two or
pree inches in width halfor three quar-
Brs Of an inch in thickness on one SIDE
diminishing on the other to an edge IKE
lat Of d knife. 1t is not straight, but
pnsists Of two equal arms, forming in the
Pntre an obtuse angle of 100 to 40 de-
rees, and both arms slightly curved IN,
ard. One side considered with regard
its longitude section) is fiat, and the
her slightly curved or convex, TO form
be edge. The convex side is held upper
post when it is thrown.
One would hardly suppose this very,
hngerous weapon but in the hands OF
b adept, and when welded against no.
ice in boomerang warfare, it becomes
fuly formidable. The Australian savage
Akes the boomerang by one end and hnrls
in certain direction--let us suppose
bwards the east. 1t flies. whirllng

around as it goes, straight forward anC
horizontally, for some forty or fifty yards
it then suddenly rises almost vertically
toa height OF from twenty TO sixty yards
then begins to descend again, at the same
time making curve to the northward
and coming back towards the west ap.
preaching The earth, it wheels around. to.
wards the south, passing close to the
right hand of the person that threw it
then behind him, bending around towards
the north again, rising second time into
the air and finally striking the earth con-
siderably in the rear and to the left of the
protector. This is only one specimen
among many OF its tortuous and fantastic
movements.
The consequences may be imagined.
The boomerang may strike an enemy, or
a kangaroo, lodging behind tree, as
well as if in full view. You may stand,
looking at the savage in front Of you and
calculating the chances of his hitting
some object away ahead ofhim, at which
YOU imagine him TO be throwing, when
your meditations are suddenly interrup-
ted by the descent OF the .reacherous mis-
slle plump into your own breadbasket.
II you are novice and undertake to
throw it, you are as likely to commit sui
eide as murder. Ii would be an awkward
thing to be second in Il boomerang duel.
In fact, We do not know but that It's in
PRODUCTION and recognition by the code
Of honor would be one of the most ef-
te"tual measures for the suppression CT
duelIing. ..
ii is the motion Of this unique and ex-
traordnary implement that Professor
Lowering has undertaken to explain by
mathematical laws. The application of
the symbols of cubes and square roots,
sines, consines and tangents, in such a
connection, has rather novel appear
ance.
We have given some attention to Pro-
fessor Coverings essay. tits ryingen-
ious, we mig int almost say satisfactory.
There is one consideration, however,
which rather staggers US and which may
he briefly, and to the careful reader of
the article in the Almanac perhaps intel
ligibly, expressed as follows:
The reasoning Of Mr.. Lowering, il cor
rect, would appear to be as appIcate TO
ii circular disk, with one fat and one
convex surface and sharp edge occu-
pying the space described by the boome-
rang in one Of its longtitu iinal rotations
-as to the boomerang itself. We may
he in error as to this point, or it may be
that such disk would present similar
phenomena to those Of the boomerang,
but this latter supposition at least, is
hardly probable Tribune.

IVyi, Mistress, and Lady.-This para
graph from the German most happily hits
the attributes of wife, mistress, and lady
1t is just as true as writ:
"Who marries for love, takes a wife !;
who marries for consideration, takes a
lady. You are loved by your wife re-
garded by your mistress, tolerated by
your lady. You have wife for yourself,
a mistress for your house and its friends,
a lady for the world Your wife will
agree with you, your mistress will ac-
commodate you, your lady will manage
you. Your wife will take care of your
household, your mistress of your house,
your lady Of appearances. If you are
sick, your wife will nurse you, your mis-
tress will visit you, your lady will inquire
after your health. You take walk with
your wife, ride with your mistress, and
join parties with your lady. Your wife
will share your grief, your mistress your
money, and your lady your debts. If
you are dead, your wife will shed tears,
your mistress lament, and your lady
wear mourning

TO HER WHO UNDERSTANDS.

Learn, learn to bear, thy need of care,
The hope Of joy retaining;
Though woe and strife, may cloud thy life,
Still bear without complaining.
Meier turn from earth, nor queH thy mirth,
Though heart from heart may sever;
IT'S vain to sigh, when broke the tie,
Though looscd the bond forever.
Though word and smile, may prove but guile,
So end our blissful dreamngs;
They withcr all, and fade aud fall,
Fen as the mcteors gleamlnes.
Tho greis are thine, and thorns may twlnc,
Amid Hopes fairest roses;
Though earth may clcy, know care aud JOY,
Lies bubbling draught composes.
Though fierce the might, of sorrows blight
Learn, It's our mortal doom;
That each should share, his world OF care,
Fer shuts the gaping tomb.
Still meet thy part, with cheerful heart
Nor pine in hapless sadness
Some ray may CLEAN, to gid life's stream,
And wake thy soul to gladness.

Anecdote ofthe British Queea.--lt is
reported that her Majesty has a sweet
little temper of her own, and that her
cara sposa, like prudent man, generally
reires before the storm, and locks him
self in his private cabinet until the sky
is clear, and sunshine again illumines the
classic shades of st. James or Windsor.
After one of these little ebulltions, the
Queen gave a "Mundering knock" at the
door of the room where Prince Albert
had taken refuge, and upon being asked
/" Who's there :" responded, "the Queen.
:" The Queen cannot enter here" respon-
ded the hen-pecked. After the lapse of
half an hour, a geaHe tap was heard upon
the door. Who's there r. asked Prince
Albert. !" Yow rife" responded Victo-
ria My wife is always welcome" was
the gallant reply.

Rcfections.- Through the long vista
of past years my thoughts are wandering.
Ghosts of long ago rise dimly in the far
off distance in quick succession. First
there are the forms of those united to me
by the nearest and dearest of kindred ties.
Then the images of beloved friends as |
saw them last, are placed before mind
Life is fral but death is certain. Only in
the morning of life thousands upon thous-
ands are consigned to the grave. We see
numberless human beings cut down in the
bloom of health and prime of manhood.
When old age with his hOary locks arrives
it is nothing more than the laws OF the
human body that death should soon claim
them. We are all living creatures who
are liable at any time to be called upon to
render an account ofour evil doings here.
Our lives are suspended upon single
thread, which, however, lightly touched,
will sever and our existence come to a
close. Just so uncertain are the enjoy
ments of this life. Those who have be-
lieved the pleasures derived from mingling
with the May crowd of fashion TO be real
and permanent, have found them false.
1t is way of killing time and withdraw
ing it from all that is truly noble in life
and burying in utter forgetfulness-
never while the world continues to turn
upon its axis and reyolve around the sun
will it be found to be real and lasting
happiness. EUPHEMIA.

SOMEBODY'S COMING.
FROM TIE GERMAN.

The flowers are blooming on the lawn,
The birds e singing free,
Aud everything is full Of life
And happiness but me-
The clouds look strangely dull to-day.
They ire shadowy as my dreams,
And very lonely seem to me
The sunlight's golden CLEANS;
A for the birds, heed them not
They had as well be dumb;
/. They cannot charm my heart to-day
wish somebody'd come
I've tried my books-my music, too,
I've looked it o'er aud Ger
But, pshaw cannot see my notes,
My eyes keep wandering far
Unanswered notes boiore fpe lie,
I'll count them--one, two, three;
Aud here's my letters waiting, too,
But what are they to me f?
Ny books are stale--lny music Is
Discordant as drum,
My voice is very bad to-day--
/ wish somcbodyd come
The sun is setting in the west,
Aud twilight deepens now,
Aud night comes forth an ebon queen,
With jewels on her brow
The cat is sleeping on the hearth,
The bell has rung for tea
And not one living soul has come
What can the matter be
The day is gone, the night comes on
And | will look no more
There, Betty don't you hear the bell
