TRUE AS PREAcHING.-The PhiIadel-
phia Evening Argus, says:-"No man
can borrow himself out of debt. If you
wish for relief you must work for it.
You must make more and spend less
than while you were running in debt.
You must wear homespun instead of
broadcloth, drink water instead of cham
pagne, and rise at four instead of seven.
Industry, frugality, economy-these are
the handmaids of wealth, and the sourc-
es of reliaf. A dollar earned is worth
ten borrowed, and dollar saved is bet
ter than forty times its amount in use
less gewgaw. Try our scheme, and see

Minute Dirisi0n ofthe Animal and Veg
eta5le Kingdom.-The blood of animals
is not uniform red liquid, as it appears
to the naked eye. but consists of a trans
parent colorless fluid, in which float an
innumerable multitude IF red corpuscles,
| which in animals that suckle their young
are fat circular discs, doubly concave,
like the spectacle glasses of near-sight-
ed persons. In man, the diameter of
these CO: puscles is the 35OOth of an
inch, and in the musk deer, only the
2.OOO:h of anincl, and therefore drop
of human blood such as would remain
suspended from the point of cambric
needle, will contain about 100000 of
corpuscles. and about 10000, 900 might
Aoat in similar drop drawn from the
musk deer.
But these instances Of the divisibility
of matter are far surpassed by the mi
nuteness of animalcules, for whose nat
ural history we are Indebted chiefly to
the researches Of the renowned Pruss-
ian naturalist, Ehrenberg. He has
shown that there are many species of
these creature so sIeallthat millions to-
gether would not equal the bulk of a
grain of sand, and thousands might swim
at once through the eye of needle
These infinitesimal animals are as we'll
adapted to life as the largest beasts, and
their motions betray the phenomena of
life, sense and instinct. Their actions
are not fluid and fortuitous, but are evil
IDENTITY governed by choice, and directed
to crafty their appetites and avoid the
dangers of their mimic world. The wa
ters of the globe (and sometimes of the
atmosphere) everywhere are populous
with them, to an extent beyond the pow
er of figures to express, or the magma
ton to conceive their mum bers.
Their silicious skeletons are found in
fossil state, forming the entire mass of
rocky strata, many feet in thickness
and hundreds Of square miles in extent
The smooth slate near Bilin, in Bohemia,
contains in every cubic inch about AL
900 millions of these animals Since 4
cubic inch Of this slate weighs 220 grains
there must be in a single grain 1S7 mil
lions of skeletons, and one Of them
would therefore weigh about the one
1877 miIlionth ofa grain. The city Of
Richmond, Va, has been shown by Pre-
fesSor Bailey to rest Oh a similar deposit
of silicious auimalculcs Of exquisite form.
Like larger animals, these animalcules
are furnished with organs Of digestion
and reproduction, and a complex circu-
lating system, whose blood corpuscles
are proportioned to the vessels through
which they flow. 1t is impossible to
form conception Of these organic struct-
ures, and yet each separate organ of
every animalculc is compound of sew
eral organic substances, each in its turn
comprising numberless atoms of carbon,
oxygen and hydrogen. 1t is plain from
these examples. that the actual magni-
tude of tie ultimate molecules of auv
body is something completely beyond
the reach equally of our senses to per-
ceivc. or our intellects to comprchend.-

the like reason for gratitude. To the
