The Story of an Atom.

The atom of charcoal which floated
in the corrupt atmosphere of old vol.
canic ages was absorbed into the leaf Of
a fern when the valleys became green
and luxurant; and there in its proper
place it received the sunlight and the
dew, aiding to fling back to heaven a
reflection Of heavens gold; and at the
same time to build the tough fibre of
the plant. The atom was consigned to
the tomb when the waters submerged
the jungled valley. 1t bad lain there
thousands of years, aud month since
was brought into light again, imbcdded
in block of coal. 1t shall be consum-
ed to warm our dwellings,, cook our
food, and make more ruddy and cheer
full the hearth whereon our children
play; it shall combine with portion Of
the invisible atmosphere, ascend upward
as curling wreath to revel in a Macy
dance high up in tho blue ether; shall
reach the earth again, and be entrappod
into the embrace of flow or; shall live
in velvet beauty on the cheek OF
the apricot; shall pass into the human
body, giving enjoyment to the palate,
and health to the blood; shall circulate
in the delicate tissues Of the brain,
and aid, by entering into some new
com bination, in cducing the thoughts
which are now being recorded by the
pen. tits but an atom of charcoal; il
may dwell one moment in stagnaut
ditch, and the next be flushing on the
lip of beauty; may now be component
of limestone rock, and next an ingre
dient in a field of potatoes; it may slum
bcr for a thousand years without un
dergoing single change, and the mex
hour pass through a thousand muta
tions; and after all it is only an atom
of charcoal and occupies its own plac'
wherever it may be.

The III 0dal Merchant.

A very staid and worthy old gentle
man residing in New Haven, whom
successful merchantile career of thirty
years had placed in Independent if not
affluent circumstances; but through Gus
tom or desire to add to his already
princely store, he still continued his
business and his ante prandial visits to
the counting room. One morning the
good wife had postponed the matutinal
meal in consequence of his absence,
until that rare aud valuable thing in wo
man, her patience, was exhausted, At
last, however, he made his appearance,
and without making any apology for
his tardiness, but looking glum and out
of humor he sat down to eat. A cup of
coffee restored him, and opening his
mouth he spakc-
"a most extraordinary circumstance
most extraordinary, indeed !"
"What do you mean, my dear p de
manded the lady.
"Mean? Here I have been to open
the store with my own hands; and after
sitting in the door a full hour, waiting
for my boys, not one of them made his
appearance, and was forced to close
the store again and come home to break
fast"
"Good heavens !" exclaimed the lady
with horror, "you have not been to the
store? Why, it's Sunday !"
Sunday returned he: "Snnday? i'm
possible, madam? We did not have cod
fish for dinner yesterday"

PACKING APPLES IN OATs.-A cor
respondent of an Eastern paper says
that apples packed in oats will not rot
or freeze through the winter, if perfectly
sound when packed. They should be
kept in close, dry room, without fire,
The close room and the still closer en.
velope of the barrel and the oats, guard
against the sudden changes of tempora-
ture common in our winters. With the
thermometer at zero out of doors, the
apples will not freeze; but even if they
should be frosted little, it is drawn out
so gradually by the oats that they are
not injured.

The State Journal presents some facts
and statements connected with the re.
cent draft in Ohio of general interest.
The magnitude and execution of the
work may be understood from the fol
Loving statement:
The number of troops assessed upon
Ohio by the Presidents two calls, each
of 100000, was $4,000. This number
was duly apportionod among the sever
al townships and districts of the State,
numbering 1,479, assigning to each its
due proportion to be raised after giving
each its proper credit for the volunteers
heretofore furnished.
Every preparation for the draft was
made ready by the 10Th of September,
but in view of the fact that the loyal peo
pie Of the State had to great extent
been occupied for several days in resis-
ting the rebel raid made upon our
Southern border, it was considered but
an act ofjustice to them to postpone the
draft until the 1st of October, which was
done.
At the date of September 18th, the
number subject to draft was 9,427.
Between that date and the first day OF
October, about 5000 of this number
volunteered into the three years service
thus leaving about twelve thousand
| $4,000 to be drafted. Ofthe So coun.
ties, about one fourth of them escaped d
draft entirely. In the remainder the
work Of drafting commenced, and was
cheerfully acquiesced in until compile
ted. OF the number thus drafted, more
than one-half, either in person or by
substitute, have since volunteered il
the three years service, and tho good
work still continues. So that it is nov
thought that we shall have but three o.
four regiments of the whole seventy
four thousand demanded of us, to or
ganize into nine months regiments.
Ofthe recruits, about 10000 have en-
listed into new regiments, and the re
mainder, being about 20, 900, into tht
old regiments.

DEBATING Societies.

The long winter evenings are at hand,
and the hours should be spent in some
pursuit or employment that shall make
the time so passed useful and profitable,
In most of our villages and towns there
are literary societies, formed of young
men who meet together for mutual i'm
provement; some miscellaneous exer.
cises are gone through with, poetry and
essays read and the proceedings gener.
ally wound up with studied debate up.
on some fixed question. Now, the or
atorical part Of these entertainments is
good feature, but it too frequently
happens that the subjects propounded
are foolish and silly to the last degree.
The public are not Immediately interest.

Antony and Andrew Jackson, nor do
they care about discussing the query as
to whether women are entitled to the c.
lective franchise or not. Debate, to be
useful, must involve tho diecusson Of
some new doctrine, question or theory,
and must clucidate knotty points, either
of science, art or law, in such a manner
that it shall add to the stock of popu.
lar knowledge In this way debating
societies disseminate useful instruc tior
and are the means of substantial good
Why not then discard all trito and d hack

relating to social economy, toinvention

to the saving of human muscle; all o
any of these things offer a great field 70

Io~k UP.

We are told that Sir Edward Parry
and his party, in one Of their Arctic
expeditions, were going straight toward
the North Pole, travelling at the rate of
ten miles a day. Bat the ice over
which they travelled was drifting toward
the equator at the rate of twelve miles
day; and yet no man among them
would have known that they were max.
ing two Z lies day Jachpard unless he
had raised his eyes from the track in
which he was plo odding.
Just so in human life; men start off
in a Christian course with firm step
and high resolve. The prospect of
new discoveries of truth stimulates their
exertion, and they move on with
thoughts fixed on heaven. But they
forget that the currents of earth are all
