THE DIVISIONS OF TIME.

The division of time into periods of seven
days each was in use among the ancient Egyp-
tians and Hebrews, and is borrowed by the
latter from the Mosaic account OF creation.
If. according to some modern philosophers,
that account is of uncertain origin, mere
oriental myth, then every successive week as
it occurs is an unexplained historical phenom-
enon. Both Christians and Mahommedans a.
dopted this division from the Hebrews the
Greeks and Romans received it with the in
PRODUCTION of Christianity after the reign of
Theodosius. The names of the successive days
were those of the seven heavenly bodies with
familiar; the sun. the moon, and five planets,
which, however, they did not name as We do
in the order of their nearness to the sun, but
successively, as Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, We
nus, and Saturn. This institution of the week,
though originating in the Old Testament and
propagated by the New, spread much farther
and faster than the truths on which it was
built; the Roman names of the planets and of
the days over which they presided were those
of their own divinities, and the TeutoDic ma
tions from which we descend, while they re-
tanned the sun and the moon, substituted for
the other five days the corresponding names
of their own mythology. Hence our English
sees.is an early Jewish institution with pa
gan names: the SUMS day, the moons day,
Tuisec's day, W oden's day ,Tbor's day, Friga's
day, Seater's day. 1t is remarkable that the
week is recognized By the Brahminic astrono-
mers. the days being named from the same
planets and in the same order that of the
Egyptians, but beginning with Friday or the
day of Venus. The Egyptian week began on
Saturday. The people of China and Thibet
have week of five days, named from what
they consider the five elements, iron, wood,
water, feathers and earth. The name of the
first day of the last week, Easter Sunday, is
supposed to be derived from the feast of the
Tetonic OsteTa, the goddess of spring, which
name the early missionaries retained, while
supplanting-i, i, by the Christian festival; or it
may be derived from the Saxon word oster,
which signifed rising.

There's a little mischief maker,
That is stealing half our bliss.
. Sketehing pictures in dreamland,
Which never seen in this;
Dashing from our lips the pleasure
OF the present while we sigh
You may know this schief- maker,
For his name is by and by
He is sitting by our hearth stones
With his sly bewitching glance,
Whispering of the ecoming morrow.
As the social hours advance:
Lettering mid our calm reflections
Hiding forms Of beauty nigh
He's q sm Doth deceitful fellow,
This enchanter, BY and by "
You may know him by his mincing,
By his careless. sportiye air,
BY his sly obtrasiYe presence
That Is straying everywhere;
By the trophies which he gathers,
Where his cheated victims lie
For bold determined fellow,
Is the conqueror, by and BY
When the calls of duty haunt us.
And the present seems TO be
All of time that ever mortals
Snatch from long eternity
Then fairy hand seems painting
Pictures on distant sky,
For a cunning little artist,
Is the fairy, BY and by,
BY and by the wind is singing
by and by the heart replies,
But the phantom just before us,
Ere we grasp it, ever flies.
List not to the idle charmer,
Scorn the very specious lie;
Only in tho fancy liveth

Extraordinary Freak Of Lieh.ning.

The house John Walter, near Ceptrevilie,
Cumberland county, was struck by lightning
few days ago. and while nearly every article
of furniture was destroyed, the inmates es-
capped unharmed. The house was of logs and
consisted OF two rooms, in one OF which were
two beds. Mrs. Walter was in one bed, and a
girl ten years old in the other, while Mr.. Wal
ter sat on chair between the beds. gem
tlemsn who visited the house gives the follow
ing statement
The stove stood in the kitchen, the pipe
running out at the top of the roof. Appear
ances show that the lightning first ran down
the stove-pipe; after this there is no telling
where it ended The garrett floor is torn up /;
the lower floor in the kitchen is all torn up,
and some OF it split fine, and the floor under the
bed where the little girl was sleeping, is torn
up. There are but two boards in the whole
partition that are not torn down, or knocked
loose the door knocked off the hinges the
ends OF two OF the sleepers are actually split
fine enough for bake wood, aud some of the
flooring, &c, thrown out in the yard. Two
thirds of the plastering is knocked down /;
nearly all the glass in the house including the
looking glass, are broken and knocked entire
ly out. / noticed the solid bottom of a chair
that was broken in three pieces bucket, tin
ware and dishes, all on one pile, broken to
pieces, ,one tin can having the bottom knocked
out. Thehouse is not only s.gutted," /" but it
is likewise sskinned''-it having been plas-
tered on the outside. The dog pen, built full
ly fifteen feet from the house. is left just as II
was, whilst the dog in it was killed instantly
The old gentleman informed me that though
the floor was torn mp and the partition down,
upon and against which the bed was, where
the little girl was lying, yet she never waken-
ed till her father aroused her and told her they
must leave the house, and the three occupants
started out without having received the least
injury.

GETTING BoLpER.

The Copperheads are growing more bold
than heretofore, aud are beginning TO avow
undisgusedy their real sentiments. Hence
We find that, at meeting held in New York
city on the Sd June, they adopted, amongst
others, the following resolution
.sResolged, That under the Constitution there
is no polcer in the Federal Gorsrnmeaf 10 coerce
the States, or any number of them By military
force Ii the power of coercion exists at all,
ii is legal power, and not military That
the Democratic party, IL true to its own time
honored principles, cannot sustain war a.
gairst sovereign States; that we believe il to
be the duty OF the party TO proclaim these
sentiments boldly, that the people may feel
that there is at least one political organiza-
tion which will deal honestly, Independently.
and truihfully with them''
II, as is here asserted, s.tse Federal Govern
ment has no power 10 coerce the States or any
number of them.'' then we should like to
know what the Government amounts tot IL
might just as properly be contended that there
was no power in the Government to punish q
traitor, murderer, a thief; and If the a.
bominable and dangerous sophistries, which
these New York Ccpperheads emaciated as
the creed of their party, are to be carried into
effect. any one State can dissolve the Union
whenever it feels disposed to do so. We
should think that the resolution we have quo
ted above, would be amply sufficient, to open
the eyes of all true men to the real purpose of
| those who are attempting to lead the Demo-
cratic masses into an attitude of open hostili-
ty to the Federal Government.

In a recent interview with the Secretary of
War, Mr.. Arnold, Member of Congress from
Illinois, learned the following particulars of
the new draft The action under the Law will
be first to return to the army all the absentees
and deserters; second, the draft will be made
first in those States and districts which have
failed to furnish their quota under calls here
tofore made /; third, such of the States as have
furnished more than their proportion Of vol
unteers heretofore called for will be credited
with such excess, and no draft will probably
be ordered in such States until the number of
troops furnished BY the several States shall
have been equalized by drafts in those States
which are behind. -

ExcIrIsG INCIDENT on THE CARs.-Last Fri
day an exciting occurrence took place on the
pa ssenger train from Toledo to this city. On
one of the cars was party of soldiers return
ing from Dixie on furlough- When the con-
ducfor approached them to collect the fare,
one of them rendered five dollar green back,
saying, stake yonr change out OF that old fell
low, the best currency in the world. sir. /"
..You may think so,'' responded the butternnt
conductor. 81 don't consider it worth any
more than so much brown paper" The sol
dier's eyes flashed fire. ssYou id Copper
head, he exclaimed. show dare you speak
that way before us ? How dare you impeach
the credit of our Government which we have
been periiling our lives to uphold You are
not fit to live ~ and drawing pistol he poin-
ted it at the trembling conductor, and was a.
bout to fire, when officer, who had been
watching the proceedings, seized his arm and
restrained him. Then addressing the butter
nut knave,the officer told him that il he wish
ed to avoid trouble, he had better leave the
train at the next station, which he did, and
the cars came on without him.
The above incident may serve as warning
to all Copperheads of the treatment they may
expect when our brave boys in the army hav-
ing conquered the rebels in the South. shall

and yet there is no class of men who have
been its more violent opposers and who still

tion held in New York to denounce the ar
rest of Yallandigham and assert the right Of
free speech, an old gentleman was introduced
on the platform, who said: +. IA 8ss

FUS AT HoME.- Don't be AFRAID OF little
fun at home, good people. Don't shut up
your houses lest the sun should fade your car
pets: and your hearts, lest hearty laugh
should shake down some of the old cobwebs
there. If you want to ruin your son, let him
think that all mirth and social enioyments
must be left on the Threshold when he
comes at night. When once at home is regar-
ded as only place to eat drink and sleep in,
the work is began that ends in the gambling
houses and reckless degradation. Young peo-
pie must have fun and relaxation somewhere !;
if they do not find it at their own hearthstones
it will be sought at other and less profitable
places. Therefore let the fire burn brightly
at night, and make the home nest delightful
with all those little arts that parents are caps-
BILE of inventing to smuse the buoyant spirits
of their cbildren half an hour of merriment
round the lamp and freight of home, biots
ont the remembrance of many care and an
noyance during tho day, and the best safe
guard they can take with them into the world
is the unseen influence of the bright little do
mestic circle.
