Exhaustion of Talk

How long the lamp of conversa-
tion holds out to burn between two
persons only, is curiously set down
in the following passage from Count
Gonfalionier's account of his i'm
prisonment:
"Fiftcen years Iexisted in dun
geon ten feet square. During six
years | had a companion; during
nine | was alone. l never could
rightly distinguish the face of him
who shared my captivity, in the
eternal twilight of our cell. The
first year we talked incessantly to-
gathers related our past lives,
our Joys forever gone, over and
over again. The next year we
communicated to each other our
thoughts and ideas on all subjects.
The third year we had nothing to
communicate; we were beginning
to lose the power of reelection.
The fourth, at the interval of a
month Or 50, we would open our
lips to ask each other if it were pos
sible that the world went on as
gay and bustling as when we form
ed u portion Of mankind. The
fifth we were silent. The sixth he
was taken away-I never knew
where, to execution or liberty.
But | was glad when he was gone;
even solitude was better than the
pale, vacant face. One day-it
must have been year or two after
my companion left me-the dun
geon door was open, whence pro-
cceding | know not, the following
words were uttered: 'By order Of
his Imperial Majesty, l intimate to
you that your wife died a week
ago Then the door was shut, and
| heard no more; they had flung
this great agony upon me, and left
me alone with ii"

Insect Music.

+. All that we read is not gospel.
Button, Goldsmith, and others, tell
us that flying insects, like muske-
toes, locusts, and so on, make the
humming noise they do by beating
the air with their wings. It's all a
mistake. They sing, just like our
selves, only their vocal organs are
deposited, not in their throats, but
along the sides of their bodies.
They use $50 the microscope assures
us) a wind-pipe, the outlet to which
is furnished with a vibrating valve,
like that employed on the accorde-
on; but then a man has only one
of these arrangements, while most
insects have at least dozen, and
through each of the dozen, as they
fly, the air is made to rush with
prodigious effect, and some degree
of melody.

Modern Discoveries,

Bayard Taylor, the celebrated
traveller, thus sums up the results
Of modern discoveries:
"Within the last twenty-five years
all the principal features Of the ge-
ography Of our own vast interior
regions, have been accurately de-
termined; the great fields of Cen
tral Asia have been traversed in
various directions, from BoGhara
and Oxus to the Chinese wall; the
half-known river systems Of South
America have been explored and
surveyed; the icy continent around
the Southern Pole las been discov-
cred; the Northwest passage-the
ignis fdtuuS of nearly two centuries
is at last found; the Dead Sea is
stripped of its fabulous terrors; the
course of the Niger is no longer a
myth, and the sublime secret of the
Nile is almost wrested from his
keeping; the Mountains of the
Moon, sought for two thousand
years, have been seen by a Caucas-
sian eye; an English steamer has
assembled the Chabba to the from
tiers of the great kingdom of Bor-
neo; Leichardt and Stuart have
penetrated the wilderness of Aus
tralia; the Russians have descended
from Irkoutsk to the mouth of the
Amoor: the antiquated walls of
Chinese prejudice have been crack
ed, and are fast tumbling down,
and the canvas screens which sur
round Japan have been cut by the
sharp edge of American enterprise.
Such are the principal results Of
modern exploration. What quar-
ter since the form of the earth and
the boundaries of its land and wa.
ter were known, can exhibit such a
list of achievements"

Greatness,

All greatness consists in this I'm
being alive to what is going on
around them; in living actually;
in giving voice to the thought of
humanity; in saying to ones fell
lows what they want to hear, or
need to hear, at that moment in
being the concretion, the result of
the influences of the present world.
In no other way can one affect the
world than in responding thus to
its needs, in embodying thus its
ideas. You will see, in looking to
history, that all great men have
been piece of their time; take
them out and set them elsewhere,
they will not fit so well ; they were
made for their day and generation.
The literature which has left any
mark which has been worthy of
the name, has always mirrored
what was doing around it; not
necessarily a daguerreotyping the
mere outside, but at leait rejecting
the inside-the thoughts if not the
actions of men-their feelings and
sentiments, even if it treated Of
apparently far-off themes.

A Slight Mistake.

When Sir Isaac Newton changed
his residence, and went to live in
Leicester Place, his next-door
neighbor was a widow lady, who
was much puzzled by the little she
observed of the habits of the phi
losopher. One of the Fellows of
the Royal Society called on her one
day, when, among other domestic
news, she mentioned that some one
had come to reside in the adjoin-
ing house who, she felt sure, was
a..poor, mad gentleman, because
she continued, 'he diverts himself
in the oldest way imaginable. Ev-
cry morning, when the sun shines
so brightly that we are obliged to
draw the window-blinds, he takes
his seat before a tub of soap-suds,
and occupies himself for hours
blowing soop-bubbles through o
common clay pipe, which he intent
ly watches floating about until they
burst. He is, doubtless, now at his
tavorite amusement, for it is a fine
day. Do come and look at him.
The gentleman smiled, and they
went up stairs, when, after looking
through the staircase window into
the adjoining courtyard, he turned
and said; My dear Madam, the
person whom you suppose to be a
poor lunatic is no other than the
great Sir Isaac Newton, studying
the rcfraction Of light upon thin
plates, a phenomenon which is
beautifully exhibited upon the sur
face of common soap-bubble.'

A Boy WITH A MANS COURAGE
A little fellow. eight years old,
who was without a relative in the
whole world, was asked by a lady
if he did not have any fears as to
whether he would get along in life
The child looked up with a per-
picked and inquiring eye, as if un-
certain of her meaning, and troub-
led with new doubt. why said
he, don't you think God will take
care of boy as well of a man, If
he puts his trust in Him, and does
the best he can?

Rothschild was a man of imagi-
native positiveness. lie foresaw
that the fate of Europe hung on
the battle of Waterloo, and took
his measures to have intelligence of
the result twenty-four hours in ad-
vance of the British nation. A
carrier-pigeon brought him the
eventfuI cypher. He united the
minute legend hid beneath its wing.
He fastened to the stock exchange
and boldly purchasing consols when
everybody thought him crazy, he
'bagged' million sterling on the
morrow.
