supers1ltiOM lm GERMANY.

= A letter from Berlin, (Prussia) thus speaks
Of the superstition which prevails among the
peasantry Of Germany
"The German peasantry, by the way, al.
ways huddle together as close as possible
I have rarely seen an isolated farm house in
Prussia. Intelligent men inform me that
this custom is not wholly, or in great
part owing. as at first supposed, to so.
cial feeling, but mainly to superstitious
childish dread of being alone. 1t seems to
ME incredible but further observation com.
pels me to believe that at present the COM
mon people Of Germany are as superstitious
and credulous as negroes themselves
Witches and ghosts still play their part in
the popular belief, and half the doorsills in
Berlin are protected against their machine
tions by the tOlismanc powers of potent iron
horseshoes And yet Prussia is land Of
common schools. where every child is oblig-
ed to learn how to read and write, and is
supposed to grow up into an intelligent man
or woman but somehow they contrive to
mix an amazing portion of superstition with
all they learn. A few days since was
present at a pleasant social gathering OF
Americans and Germans, where just as we

ative, the Hon. William Bolton. The man
was not religious man, but was gentle.
man, and invited the minister to have family
worship every evening. While he was visit
ing there, Judge Cone and his wife, from
Nashville, arrived to pass the night, and Mr..
Bolton being little embarrassed, said to
the old minister, as he brought out the Bible,
thathe had better be short, as the Judge
was probably not accustomed to such things.
Every well, very well," said he, and read
ing single verse, he knelt down and pray
ed 40 Lord, we are very poor and needy
creatures, and we know that Thou art able
to supply all our wants, but Cousin William
says that Judge Cone and his wife from
Nashville are here, and are not used to fam.
lily worship, and however needy we are
there is no time to spare in telling Thee oul

the old gentleman to, conduct the services
in his own way, which he did, to their grea

Mr.. B----, young gentlemhn Of liHe tai.
ents, was years ago chief clerk In bank In
Virginia. He was a good scholar. and q
courageous and an honest young man, bus
was the leader OF an infdel club, and had,
uearly succeeded in throwing from hla mind
the last shsckles of what he used to call the
nursery superstition" which was the reli..
gion his pious mother had taught him.
On one occasion upwards Of one hundred
thous and dollars in bank bills had to be car.
ried to Kentucky, and he was selected 70
carry it. AS he was obliged to pass through
part Of the country where highway robbe..,
les were said to be frequent he arranged to
pass it in the daytime. But he took the wrong
road, and having lost himself, was glad to
find shelter anywhere. He rode about long
time in the forest, amid the darkDess and
chilIiness Of q starless October night.
At length he saw dim light, and pushed
his horse forward until he came to poor
wretched looking log cabin. Il was near ten
O'clock. He knocked and was admitted by
a woman, who told him sho and her children

thus easily to fuIl into the hands of robbers.
He took out his pistols, examined the prim.
ly and determined to sell his life as dear
as he could. In the meantime the man Of the
house returned he was rather fierce, un-

did not wish to retire he would sit by the
fire all night. The man of the house urged
him. But no, he could not think of such
thing. He was terribly alarmed, and expect.
' ed this would be his last night on earth.--
His infdel principles gave him little comfort.
His fears grew into perfect agony. What
was to be done!
At length the rough backwoodsman rose
up, and reached over the strangers head to
little shelf, took down an old book, and

The Future Mapped Out.

Agreeably to the calculations OF Mr..
Bruhn, of Berlin, the comet, which has CIV
en- us SO favorable and gratuitous exhibitions
Of his proportions, has long way to 60. 1t
will take him little over 2,l00 years to
reach his present point of destination, and
return.
What changes will take place during his
absence! remarks the Albany Knickerbocksr.
In 9,loo years, England, France, Prussia
and Austria, will probably be blotted from
the map of Europe Russia extending from
the Arctic Ocean to the Mediterranean. In
twenty-one hundred years, even the sites o.
London and Paris may be matter of dis
pute, like the use of. the Pyramids. In 2,
100 years from now the Model Republic
should contain one thousand millions OF in
habitants, and extend from the North Pol,
10 Cape Horn. The comet, in September
saw the Capitol of the nation at Washing
ton. When it returns it will probably SEE
the Capitol Of the nation at the City Of Mex
leo. 2,l0o years will allow the world to d
up great deal Of work. In that time W
expect to see the Atlantic pumped dry, an
the water poured down Vesuvius for the pur
pose of extinguishing the central fires Of tn
earth. The Atlantic having been dried up
we expect to see the bottom used for "sas
gardings." the products being carried to al
parts Of the Universe by means of balloon
running weekly trips to Saturn ~ stop
ping at all intermediate stars" The wor
moves. @
