A Million and a Billion.

We. are perpetually hearing of millions,
and of how many millions 1t will require to
do this or that We have q good idea what
million of dollars will do, but we very
much doubt whether one person in thou
sand has correct idea of the quantity Of
number contsined in a million. For in
stance, if you would ask person how long
it would occupy him to put down million
dots with pen upon piece of paper, he
will generallyltell you something SO far from
the fact as to be laughable. Permit us,
therefore, to say-for we have tried the ex-
pertinent more than once-that it would
occupy an expert penman about fourteen
days, supposing him to work bank hours
(that is six } necessarily, doing nothing but
putting down dots upon the paper or dip
ping his pen in the ink. This will give
our readers some idea of the quantity Of
number contained in a million. Let one
try it, by laying his watch on the table,
close to the paper, and work for ten or TWEEN
ty minutes, then add and multiply.
Butxhat is a million compared to bill
ion? 1t is mere nothing. What then is a
billion ?. A very short answer win suffice
for very long story. 1t is million times
a million. But who could count it a? Nc
man ! A quick bank teller can count one
hundred and sixty and seventy a minute
but let US suppose he could go as far as goo
Then one hour would produce 12 900. day
$4,000, and year or 365 days 105, $780,.
900. Let us suppose, now, that Adam, al
the beginning of his existence, had begun
to count, had continued to do SO, and was
counting still he would not now, accord.
ing to the usually supposed age of oul
globe, have counted near enough. For, tc
count billion, he would require $3.50
years, "a days, 5 hours and 90 minutes
Now suppose we were to allow poor Adam
19 hours daily for rest, eating and sleeping
heyould need 1904 years, so days, &c
hours and 40 minutes. We believe com
mon WATERFALL would hold a billion grains
of sand from the sea-shore. This sand is
the debris of stones. How many millions
of years, then, were these rocks and stones
rolling in the ocean to produce them
What, then, is the age of the globe thai
we inhabit 2 1t is as much beyond human
comprehension as is the speed of comets
through. immeasurable space.-BoSton H.

Forgotten Fame.

HH--
A great library is like great graveyard.
The titles Of the books are so many inscrip-
tiOns in memory of Che dead. That desire
of fame must be intense which is not quench-
ed by reading a catalogue of authors, or by
turning the leaves Of dictionary of books
The poets that feurished before Homer, the
heroes before Agamemnou, are not mole ut
terly forgotten than nine-tenths of the names
in Allibone's lists In vain do individuals
hope for immortality or any patent from OBJ
livion, by the writing of book. How many
regulations that seemed to their cotempora-
ries to be for all time, persisted In the burn
ing of the Alexandrian library! The poet
promises Immortality of fame Ia his endur-
ing verses to the here who has wasted his
enemies lands amid war, glory and tri-
umph; but the world has but short mem
DRY, and does not redeem, the poets prom
Uses. "Alas, poor world, what treasure
hast thou lost - u
Will the authors who are famous now, be
famous thousand years hence Outof a
thousand names, one lives SO long. But
what of the nine hundred and ninety nine
others ? The surest. bonds of fame are
written on paper; but paper is easily torn
and blotted.
"Who was Sir Thomas Browne 90 1 was
