MISCELLANEOUS,
An Astronomers View of the Universe.

An Astronomers view OF the Universe.
In waiting ourselves in Imagination to
our own satellite, the moon-the nearest of
our celestial bodies we have passed over
a distance equal to thirty times the diane
ter of our globe. In advancing to the sun
we travel over a distance equ.l to thirty
that of the moon; and before we reach
Uranus, the remotest of the planets, we
have trayersed a space equal to twenty
times the earth's distance from the sum-
Thus placed at the limits of a system en-
closed in circle of eighteen hundred mil
lions of miles in radius, our appreciation of
distance would appear to be exhausted, and
we seem to be as on the margin of an un-
fathomable abyss. The telescope, however,
and the mural circle, enable us to span the
void, and the genius Of man, proud Of the
achievement-and justly, if humbly proud
has crossed the gulf twelve thousand
times the radius of his own system, that
we may study the nearest world in the fir
mament of heaven. Beyond the frontier
lies the whole universe of stars-their BIZ
nary systems, their clusters, and their neb-
ulous combinations. The Observed paral-
lax of one-fourth of a second in Lyra,
carries US four times as far into the bosom
of space; though beyond this, as we have
no positive measure Of distance, it would
be as unphilosophical to assign limits to crea-
ton, as to give an infinite range, In this
rapid flight into space, we have traversed it
in but one dimension, and the line which
we have traced is but unit in the scale
Of celestial distance Creation in its wide
panorama is still above us, beneath us and
around US. The oVer-arohing heavens still
enclose US, and innumerable worlds spar
kle in It's canopy.
If from this bourne, from which the as
Economical traveller alone returns, we look
upon our course, our own planetary system
ceases to be perceived. It's sun is dim
itself but an invisible point in the nGpu-
lous light that intervenes. Where, then,
is our terrestrial ball its ocean-its CONT
nents, its mountains, its empires, its dynas-
ties, its thrones? Where S our father
land its factions, its Christians, disunions;
its slave crimes, and .cs unholy wars p
Where is man, intelle ctual monad; the on
ly atom of organic life that can pierce the
depths and interpret the enigma of the
universe and yet the only spark of spir-
ltual nature, which disclaims the authority
and resiats the will of the universal King
They have all disappeared in the far-off
peIspective-the long vista of space, whose
apex, were it a sun, the hugest telescope
would fail to descry. No living thing here
meets the eye, and no sentiment associated
with life presses on the affections. The
tiny organisms of earth and ooean-every-
thing that moves and breathes-that
lives and dies-all are engulphed in the
great conception of the universe. The
straining mind cannot unite the immeasu-
rable extremes The infinite in space
the eternal in duration-the omnipotent in
power-the perfect in wisdom, alone fill
the expanded soul, and portray in theil
awful combination-the Creator of the
| Universe.-North British ReUiew

Triumph Over Evil.

We are rewarded for every triumph we
make over temptation. [ will suppose
there are many who have struggled against
the vanity of vain pleasure; many who
have put down evil thoughts with strong
will; many, who, after long, and it may
be an uncertain conflict with the seductions
of the world, at length have triumphed.-
[ will put it to them whether, when they
have combated and prevailed against evil,
their hearts have not softened and melted
and they have not felt within their bosoms
seraphic influence They have SC felt
and so it will ever be. No sooner shall
they have driven from them the temp.,no
demon of pride, of vanity, of ancer-ne
sooner shall the devil have left them. thar
angels will come and minister unto them

unconscious OF any superior gifts or attain
ments. lie now breaches regularly every
Sabbath at his fathers place near town.
His parents have refused to allow him to
enter the pulpit and supply the place of
the regular minister on Sabbath, although
he is often solicited to do so. lie does
nothing without permission from his pa
rents. lie attends school, and joins in all
the amusements of the boys of bis own
age; he is mere child everywhere, save
when preaching. On last Sabbath | sat
under his ministry, and have seldom been
more edited and delighted with sermon.
His style is chaste, his words ftly and hap
PLY chosen. The incest critic would not
detect grammatical error; his manner is
earnest, and his pathetic appeals reach all
hearts. Occasionally his feelings over
whelm him, and he gives way to floods of
tears,
The most gifted lawyers, doctors, and di-
vines have heard him with astonishment
and delight. | confess that it is most
wonderful, and to me incomprehensible.
When / heard him, he preached from the
text, How long halt ye between two opin-
ions?' He preached from notes, some
times seeming to forget that his notes were
before him. His subject was arranged
with perfect system and most logically
treated. When through with his sermon,
he closed the book, and gave brief and
touching exhortation, under which I could
with all others, but weep. His public ad-
dresses published have attracted much at
tention, and. should he live, he must, in
his upward course leave a broad wake on
the tide Of mortals. Such is the charac-
ter of the Boy Preacher whose wonder
full precocity is without parallel.--N Or

Cure For Cancer.

Mr.. Thomas Anderson gives the follow
ing recipe for cancer, which, he says, has
been OF great service in several dangerous
cases: Boil fine Turkey figs in new milk,
which they will thicken; when they are
tender, split and apply them as warm as
they can be borne to the part affected,
whether broken or not; the part must be
washed every time the poultice is changed
with some OF the milk use poultice night
and morning, or at least once during the
day, and drink quarter of pint of this
milk the figs are boiled twice in twenty
four hours. If the stomach will bear it
this must be persevered in for three or
four months at least A man aged 105
was cured about six years before his death,
with only six pounds of figs. The cancer
which began at the corner of his mouth,
had eaten through his jaw, cheek, and half
way down his throat; yet he was SO per-
fectly cured as never to show any tendency
to return. Should it ever do so, the figs
should be again applied. The first appli-
cation gives great deal of pain, but af-
terwards each dressing gives relief. a
woman cured by this remedy had been af-
ficted for ten years; her breasts bled eS-
cessiyely; ten pounds cured her ''-''

Death of e.. p r. ,hmes-Tbe Epro

DEATH Of G. p. X. James.-The Euro
pa brings the brief announcement of the
death of Mr.. c. p r. james, the we'll
known novelist Mr.. James was born in
London at the commencement of the pres
ent century, and commenced his career by
early contributions to the magazines and
newspapers. Mr.. WASHINGTON Irving was
literary godfather, for some youthful etfu-
sions exhibited merit sufficient to elicit his
praise and the advice to adventure in d
larger field. From the year 1922 till the
day of his death, Mr.. James pen has new
er been idle The mere list of his wri
tings is beyond most mems power to re-
member as the writings themselves have
been beyond most mems power to read
His last work, if we remember correctly,
was Lady Montague's Page, which was the
lS9th volume of his composition
The private life of Mr. James was full
of kindly deeds and unobtrusivc virtues
Those who knew him most intimately were
warmcst in his praise, and he nowhere had
closer friends than those whom he acquired
during the few years, from 1850 to 1858,
in this country.

Set Thine Housc IN Order.-Alasl for
him who grows old without growing wise,
and to whom the future world does not set
open her gates, when he is excluded by the
present. The Lord deals so graciously
with us in the decline of life, that it is a
shame to turn a deaf ear TO the lessons
which he gives. The eye becomes dim,
the ear dull, the tongue falters, the feet
totter, all the senses refuse to do their Of
fee, and from every side resounds the call,
Set thine house in order, for the term of
thy pilgrimage is at hand The play
mates of youth, the fellow laborers of man
hood die away, and take the road before
US. Old age is like some quiet chamber,
in which, disconnected from the visible
world, we can prepare in silence for the
world that is unseen.-T THoIock.

The Boy Preacher of Louisiana.

Mark Boatner Chapman is now in his
fourteenth year. He was born in Clinton,
Louisiana, where mis- parents still reside.
About two years ago he was received into
the church, Very soon after this he COM
menced instructing his fathers servants on
the afternoon of every Sabbath. His Gus
tom was to read chapter and comment up
on It, having first closely studied the chap
ter, consulting Benson, Cllrk and Wesley
on every passage.
He at length began, says a writer to the
Memphis Advocate, to speak in the love
feasts and class-meetings; then to pray in
the public congregation. His appearance
is that of mere boy, and he seems who'll,

N"sic.-Thcre is something very won
derful in music. Words are wonderful
enough, but music is even more wonderful.
1t speaks not to our thoughts as words do
it speaks straight to our hearts and spirits
to the very chore and root of our soul.
Music soothes US, stirs US up; it melts US
to tears, we know not how it is language
by itself just as perfect in its way as speech,
as words; just as divine, just as blessed.
Music, ! say, without words, is wonderful
and blcssed-one of Gods best gifts to
man. But in singing you have both the
wonders together-music and words
Singing speaks at once to the head and
to the heart, to our understanding and our
feelings, and therefore, perhaps the most
beautiful way in which the reasonable soul
Of man can show itself Except of course,
doing right, which always is aud always
will be, the same beautiful thing is sing
ing.

1t is now just two hundred year

B4~It is now just two hundred years
since phosphorus was first obtained by
Brand, of Hamburg. So wonderful was
the discovery then considered that Kraft,
an eminent philosopher of the day, gave
Brand $500 for the secret Of his prepara.
ton. Kraft then travelled, and visited
nearly all the courts Of Europe, exhibiting
it. Phosphorus resembles beeswax, but is
more transparent, approaching to the colot
of amber. Its name, which is derived
from the Greek, signifies eight bearer
and is indicative Of its most distinguished
quality, being selfluminous. Phosphorus, ,.
when exposed to the air, shines like star,
giving out beautiful lambent, greenish
light Phosphorus dissolves in warm
sweet OIL If this phosphorized oil be rub
