LIEUT.. MAuRY. OF THE ODsERvAroRY.-
At Washington, it is, they say, in agitation
to place Lieut.. Maury, the illustrious d.
rector Of the National Observatory, in ac-
tive service, as without doing SO bis promo.
ton would, according to the regulation Of
the service, be impossible. To withdraw
such q man from bis scientific labors in the
present epoch seems to us more than fault
During the many years he has passed on
shore, Lieut.. Maury has rendered to his
country services which he could not have
performed in distant places, or in the most
famous naval combats. His labors, now
known to the whole world, have made an
immense step in naval science nor is there
either o sailor or a servant who. if he were
consulted, y7ould 40: award to him the high
est grades Of his corps. Maury, like Hum.
boldt, is one Of those men whose leisure
ought to be respected, because it IS inpor-
tant as we'll to science IS to humanity.
Let US hope. then, that the American
government, which counts 5, many good
captains in its navy, shall not find it nee
airy to take this ilIustrious man from his
noble labors TO cover him with donors,
which, whatever they may be, must always
bs inferior to the great services which be
has already rendered.

ENERGY Who ever became man of
influence BY sitting under the harrow of
dependency? What idle man ever bene-
fitted the world, his friends or himself?-
There is nothing like action coupled with
cheerfulness. We see it everywhere. Who
is he sitting on that empty barrel on the
wharf? A man with no energv-a prey
to grief He does not know what to do, or
how to start. Who is the man with folded
arms standing in the market place? A la
zy, do little sort Of vagabond who hardly
earns his bread and butter Do you wish
not to become such character? Then a.
rouse yourself! Away from the arm chair
Up from the gutter! Out of the downy
bed! Move your arms, kick your feet and
stir about, give the blood chance to cir
culate through your veins and the air of
heaven 70 enter your lungs. Seize the first
job presented, and dispatch it at once; up
for pay, and get another forthwith you will
soon earn enough to purchase whecl-bar
row and a hapd-cart and then you will be-
gin to live. Who knows what you may be-
come? Energy is half omnipotent Small
beginnings end in large gains; a penny
we'll turned brings fortune Resolve,
then to do something, and be something,
and you will bless US to your dying day for
preaching thus faithfully to yoa

FAMILY OF THE LATE Rev. DR.. ALExAN-
DER.-Concerning the family Of the late Dr.
Alexander, the New York correspondent 0!
the Boston Post, writes:
.'In former letter have referred to the
wealth Of the ecclesiastical society of which
the Rev. DR.. James w. Alexander was the
almost idolized pastor A few years ago
the financial managers Of the society voted
to advance the minister's salary from $4,000
to IS 900 per annum. Upon communica-
ting this resolution to Dr.. Alexander they
we're surprised to receive from the intended
beneficiary courteous but firm declination
of the proposed addition to his income, upon
the ground that his style Of living was al
ready more than fully met by his salary;
and bis preference was plainly expressed
that the money thus offered him should be
made more useful in some needy family
circle The money however, had been by
formal vote appropriated, and must be e1-
pended in accordance with the original de-
sign It was therefore, in part, put into
the shape Of policy upon the pastors life,
for $500. This amount consequently is
now, together with accumulated savings
from his income, in all amounting to about
$4,000, legacy to the widow and chill
dren who survive. The whole hearted,
whole-souled members Of the church, not
satisfied with this, have discussed ard are
perfecting plan to raise a sufficient sun,
in addition to that above named, to form a
fund Of $25, 1000 or $50, 900, for the indie
pendent support Of DR.. Alexander's family

The SINGING STUDENT Boy. Many year:
ago. student boy was seen in the street:
of an ancient town singing. He was :
stout, plainly dressed boy, but his face was
pale, and his eyes were sad and fearful =
His voice was most musical and the
songs he sang were beautiful words and
about sacred things. Every time he finish
ed song, he stepped to house and gave
a gentle tap. When it was opened, he said
in gentle tones:
please give poor student boy morsel
of bread"
"Begone with thee. thou beggar's child y
was the rough reply that met his ear as the
| poor child shrank from the steps.
| Thus driven from door to door, he sang
his sweet songs until his body was weary
and his heart sad Scarcely able to stand,
he a. last turned bis steps homeward.-
Striking his noble forehead with Bis. hand
he said:
81 must 60 home to my fathers house
and be content to live by he sweat of my
brow. Providence has no loftier destiny
for me. have trodden out Of its paths by
aiming higher"
Just at this moment, Ursula Gotta, a
burgher's wife, who had heard his songs
and seen him driven from neighbor's door,
felt her heart yearn With pity towards a
helpless boy. She opened her door, beck
oned to the youngster, smiled sweetly upon
him, and in tones that sounded like heav-
euly melodies to his ears, said:
Come in. poor boy, and refresh myself
at my table'' II
Happy little singer How he enjoyed
that delicious meal And when the good
dame and her husband told him to make
their house his home, bis heart melted. -
With eyes half blined with tears, he looked
in the face Of his friend and said
II shall now pursue my studies without
being obliged to beg my bread from grudg-
ing hands. ! shall have you, sir, for a
father, and You, sweet Ursula, for mother.
My heart will once more learn to love.
shall be happier than l can express"
After that day the singing boy studied
hard and we'll. Years afterNard the world
heard Of him, for it was he who uttered bis
voice against Popery, and became the chief
Of that reformation which gave az open Bi-
bic to the world,
His name was Martin Luther.

THE FOREST TREE.


Old tree, proud monarch Of the wood,
Though desolate and lonely now,
STILL. still, love to stand beneath
The shadow Of thy leaf So bough.
How often meath thy tranquil shades
4 sported in my childless glee;
And now again musing stand
Beneath this bending forest tree.
Twas here in life's nnconded spriIg
sported, happv, wild and free,
Like the soft summer winds at play,
With the bright pillows Of the sea.
But now sadly linger here.
And muse upon the days of yore
And long, if but for one short hour.
To be happy child once more.
Twas here beneath this forest tree,
pictured splendid dreams Of fame,
And thought "'twere better not to be
Than wear an undistinguished name"
And here. one rosy summer eve, @
watched the bright stars shine above,
While softly on my ear therefel
The low, sweet whispering voice of love.
And now again ljnger here,
But everything is changed to me;
scarce would know nv childhood's home,
Bnt for this brave old forest tree.
|, too. have changed-mv once light heart
Has felt the burning hand of pain; .ses
And childhood's wild and wildering dream
Can never, never, be mine again.
Oh it is sweet to lnger here, S&
And muse upon the days gone by.
And weep, alas! that life wild dream,
Is but smile. tear, sigh.
Sweet spot, thou'lt be remembered we'll,
Where'er on earth my footsteps roam;
Still, still my heart will fondly cling
To childhood free aad happy home.

The RoTHscHnDs. The retirement Of
these eminent bankers announced in an ex-
tract from the London Star as certainly a.
bout to take place, is one of the most re-
markable incidents of this remarkable wear.
Various causes have been imagined to ac-
count for it. One Of them is, that as the
age Of government loans is over, their oc-
cupation may be considered gone. But this
appears to US to be very unsatisfactory
way of accounting for it. Loans to gov
ernments form but very small part Of e.
normous transactions of the firm.
We suspect the true reason is to be found
in the increase Of the family. As long an
at consisted only Of five brothers, there was
no difficulty in keeping the united wealth
together. But each of these brothers had
several children, and the firm was everyday
growing larger in that way. Doubtless
they find it necessary to settle business
liable, in few more generations, to be d.
vided among an incalculable large number
of persons. ALI

/ EXPERIMENTS ON CURING THE BITE OF
THE BATTLEsNAKE. The snakes brought
by Pro essor Christy from the South, SAYS
the Cincinnati Gazette, have been used at
the Ohio Medical College, in series of ex-
periments to ascertain an antidote for the
poison.
A few days since dog was introduced
to the snakes cage, and was Immediately
bitten. Professor Foote administered to
him brandy containing FIVE arachms brom-
inc, four grains of iodide of potassium, and
two grains Of corrosive sublimate. He re-
covered in short time. To test the ques-
ion whether his recovery was uue to the
brandy or to the ingredients it contained in
solution, another dog was suffered to bs
bitten on the 9Th ult, and the bromine.
iodide of potassium and the corrosive sub
Innate administered alone. An hour after
he seemed to be recovering slowly The
next experiment will be to administer the
brandy alone, which is claimed to be an
efectual remedy.
