ORIGIN OF THE WoRD HELL.-Loki, son Of
Farbaute, the Giant, one Of the prominent
personages in n orse or Scandinavian mytholo-
gy, fair of face, but i'll in temper and tickle in
mood-known as the backbiter of the gods and
spokesmen of evil counsel-begat three children,
according to the Edda-the scripture Of that
mythology witch in Jotuheim, the Land
of Giants The first was Fcnris Wolf, fated
TO be the bane of Odin at the day of DOOM
Jormungrandr. the huge snake encircling the
world in its coil, was the second. The third
was the daughter Hel, thus referred to in the
Edda g Now when the gods heard that this
kindred was being bred up in Jotenheim, and
found out by soothsaying and spaedom, that
much mischief would arise from them, knowing,
too, that from such stock evil was to be ex-
pected on both father and mothers side. All
fader had the children brought to him, and the
worm or snake he cast into the sea that lay
round all lands, where he grew So that it coll
ed itself round all the earth, and bit its tail
with its teeth. Hel, the daughter, he cast in
to Nfheim, and gave power over niue worlds,
to share them among the men that were sent
to her. Those were all who died Of sickness
or age. She hath great dominion, (says the
Edda) and her yard walls are very high
Hunger is her dish, starvation her knife, care is
her bed, beating cliff is tie threshold Of her
hall, which is hung with grief. She is half
blue and half the hue Of flesh, easy to know,
and her face is stern and grim" Such was
the derivation of the word Hell, the name of a
place applied to goddess, where all is cold
and darkness, but our notions of He'll have had
quite another source, in quite another quarter
of the globe in the east, where cold Is regard
ed as delightful and agreeable, as FIRE was in
the northern Imagination.

The EYE.-Yain and forgotten are all the
fine offers of hospitality, if there is no holiday
in the eye. How many inclinations are ayow-
ed by the eye, though the lips dissemble !
How often does one come from a company in
which it may easily happen he has said nothing;
that no important remark has been addressed
to him, and yet, in bis sympathy with the
company, he seems not to have a sense of this
fact, for a stream of light has been flowing into
him and out of him through his eyes. As
soon as men are off their centerS the eyes show
it. There are eyes, to be sure, that give no
more admission into the man than blue berries.
There are liquid and deep wells that man
may fall into there are asking eyes, and as
serting eyes, and prowling eyes, and eyes full
of faith, and some Of good and some of sinister
omen. The power of eyes to charm down in
sanity or beasts, IS power behind the eyes,
that must be victory achieved in the will
before it can be suggested to the organ but
the man at peace or unity with himself would
move through men aud nature, commanding
all things by the eye alone. The reason men
do not obey Us is, that they see the mud at the
bottom of our eyes. Whoever looked on the
hero would consent to his will being served ;
be would be obeyed-Eners0l.

The Universe Of Stars.

In waiting ourselves in Imagination 10 our
own satellite the moon-the nearest of our eel.
estial bodies we have passed over a distance
equal 10 thirty times the diameter of our globe.
In advancing to the sun we travel over dis
tance equal to three hundred times that of the
neon before we reach Uranus, the remotest
of the planets, we have Travelled a space equal
to twenty times the earths distance from the
sun. Thus placed at the limits of a system
enclosed in a circle of eighteen hundred mil
lions of miles in radius our appreciation oil
distance would appear to be exhausted, and
We seem to be on the margin of an unfathom
able abyss. The telescope, and the mural cir
Gle, however, 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 armament of heaven Beyond
this frontier lies the whole universe OF stars
their binary systems, their clusters, and theil
nebulous combinations. The observed parala1
of one-fourth of second in a Lyra carries u:
four times as far into the bosom of space
though beyond this, as we have no positive
measure Of distance, it would be as unphioso
phical to assign limits to creation as to give i
an infinite range. In this rapid flight into
space we have traversed it but in one direction
and the line which we have traced is but
unit in the scale of celestial distance Crea
tion in its wide panorama is still above us, be
meath US and around us, and innumerabl,
worlds sparkle in its canopy.
If from this bourne, from which the astro
nomical traveller alone returns, we look upol
our course, our own planetary system ceases tt
be perceived. It's sun is dim, itself but an in
visible point in the nebulous light that inter
venes. Where, then. is our terrestrial ball
its oceans, its continents, its mountains, it
empires, its dynasties. its thrones? Where i
our fatherland, its factions its Christians, dis
| unions, its crimes, and its unholy wars ?

IFS hopes, and its fears? Where is man, in
tellectual mona9, the only atom of organic lif
that can pierce the depths and interpret th,
enigma of the universe-and yet the only sparl
of a spiritual nature which discaims the au
thority and resists the will of the universe
King? They have all disappeared in the far
off perspective, the long vista Of space who's
apex, were it sun, the hugest telescope woulC
fail to descry. No living thing here meets th
eye, and no sentiment associated with lif
presses on the affections. The tiny organism
of earth and ocean, everything that moves ant
breathes that lives and dies all are engufet
in the great conception Of the universe. 1h
straining mind cannot unite the immeasurabl
extremes. The Infinite in space, the Eterna
in DURATION the Omnipotent in power, tn
Perfect in wisdom, alone fill the expaude,
soul and portray in their awful combination
the Creator of the universe.

AN INCIDENT AT WAsHINGToN-An eye
witness relates that a few days since, in pub
lie parlor of one of the principal hotels in that
city, a crowd of excited Southernors were dis
cussing the merits of the various modes of
compromise, and among others that of Vir-
ginas method of sending Commissioners to
Washington, and to the seeding States, when
a gentleman who had till then qnietly listened
to the discussion, stepped forward and urged
that there was one State which had superior
claim to settle all disputes among sister States
That State was Kentucky. Three cheers for
Kentucky, were given with will. The
speaker continued" She has also the material
which will ultimately and forever settle this
matter, never again to occur" He was again
applauded, and continued "The material l
allude to, gentlemen, is Kentucky hemp
There was an ominous silence those present
felt the full force and probably the justice of
the remarks and instead of threats, quietly
dispersed.-N. Y. Com. Adrertiser.

The Golden Gate.

Far away TO the bright Southwest,
Where the sunset clasps the sea,
Where the broad paeific's billowy breast
Heaves and surges in wild unrest,
| turn, bright land, to thee,
And dream of thy skies, and thy melodies,
Comes to my soul, with the cheer
That soft winds bring in the early spring,
Saying that summer is near.
So, Golden Gate
turn to thee with a heart elate.
Twas thought poet heart might claim,
Southwest land of ours!
To give thy rock-bound shores a name,
To live alike in song and fame,
With glowing skies and flowers.
To thy bilowy bay is royal way,
That leads to land of gold;
And the sea-lions guard with watch and ward,
Thy shining stores untold,
o, Golden Gate!
Oped to a land in promise great
Ships more precious than argosies
OF orient climes have gone,
Freighted with life and its mysteries,
To breast the storms of Southern seas,
And the blast of fierce Cape Horn.
By the desolate shore of the Land of Fire,
Till the broad Pacifc's swell
Bore them away to the sparkling bay
OF the land love so we'll
The Golden Gate,
Where the myriad ships of the nations wait.
Oh hath not every soul dream
Ola Southwest land that lies
In light more pure than a golden CLEAN
That out of the gates of the west may stream,
Or the mornings Orient dyes?
These silvery chimes are tuneful rhymes,
Which poets sung of old
And the sparkling sand of whose distant strant
Is bright with sunset gold
The Golden Gate,
Where dreams, like ships at anchor, wait.
Such, Land of Song art thou to me;
From a Northland bleak and cold
I send my barque and its freight shall be
All blessed hopes and the melody
That minstrel lips have told.
0, beautiful land. with thy golden strand,
Shining for evermore--
Sweet Land Of Song have loved so long.
I shall yet regain thy shore
At thy Golden Gate,
Like an anchored barque, my soul shall wait.

LIVE CATTLE WEIGHED BY MEAsURE-1he
only instrument necessary is a measure with
feet and inches marked upon it. The girth is
the circumference Of the animal just below the
shoulder blade. The following table contains
the rules to ascertain tie weight of the ami
mall
Ifless than one foot in girth. multiply super
fetal feet by eight.
If less than three feet and more than onc
multiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more than three, multi
ply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than nine and more than seven multi
ply superficial feet by twenty three.
If less than eleven and more than nine, null
tiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Example; Suppose the girth of a bullock
to be six feet three inches length, five feet six
inches the superficial area viii be thirty-four;
and, in accordance with the preceding table,
the weight will be seven hundred and eighty
two pound.
Example: Suppose a pig to measure 10
girth two feet, and length one foot nine inches.
There would be three and half feet, which
multiplied by eleven, gives thirty-eight and a
half pounds as the weight of the animal when
dressed. In this way the weight of the four
quarters can be substantially ascertained du-

REMARKABLE FOUNTAIN IN FLoRIDA.-A
traveller thus describes spring in Florida -
Taking narrow path we crossed through
some dense underwood, and all at once stood
on the banks of Wakulla Spring, There was
basin of water one hundred yards in diameter,
almost circular. The thick bushes were grow
ing almost to the waters edge, and bowing
their heads to the unrippled suiace. We step
ped into skiff, and pushed off. Some immense
fishes attracted my attention, and | seized
spear to strike them. The boatman laughed,
and asked me how far beneath the surface |
supposed they were. / answered about four
feet. He assured me that they were at least
twenty feet from me; and it was so. Tho
water is of the most wonderful transparency.
Dropping an ordinary pin in the water, forty
feet deep, we saw It's head with perfect dis
tinctness as it lay on the bottom. As we ap-
preached the centre | noticed Jagged, grayish
limestone rock beneath us, pierced with holes
one seemed to look into unfathomable depths
The boat moved slowly on and we hung trem-
blingy over the edge of the sunken cliff, and
far below ii lay dark, yawning, unfathomable
abyss"

POVERTY THE PARENT OF FUx.-Poverty
runs strongly to fun. A man is never so full
of jokes as when he is reduced to one shirt and
two potatoes. Wealth is taciturn and fretful.
Stockholders would no sooner indulge in a
hearty laugh than they would lend money on a
second mortgage. Nature is great believer
in compensations Those to whom she send
wealth she saddles with lawsuits and dyspep-
sia. The poor never indulge in woodcocks, but
then they have a style of appetite that con-
verts number three mackerel into salmon,
and that is quite as well.

one of his patty lamenting bis hardships since
coming TO America drawing, for contrast, a
bright sketch Of his life in the could counthry."
"Oh," said the complainer with a sigh, "av

DE- Oh she was an angel. Looking back
over our shoulder, We watched the lovely being
as she fioated down the street, feasting our
eyes on her beauty. All at once we heard
splash and a groan, and all was dark. About
an hour after this. we learned that a gentleman
while looking back at lady, had walked into
cellar, and was severely hurt.
