The Work and Fate Of tho Sun.


The following is an instructive and in
teresting extract from lecture of Rev.
W. Leitch, d. d., of Queens College,
Canada
Almost all the mechanical power on the
face of the earth is traced to the sum-
The force may change its form, but its
amount is always the same. This princi-
pie is known by the name of correlation of
physical force. When the river leaps over
the Niagara Falls and reaches the level
beneath, its mechanical force is lost as to
form, but it is transmitted into heat. The
water at the bottom Of the fall is increased
in temperature, and were this heat col
lected it would be converted into mechani-
cal power, exactly adequate to raise the
water to its former level. The heat of
explosion is converted into mechanical
power, when the ball is impeled from a
gun.
The mechanical power is reconverted
into heat when the ball is suddenly ar
rested in its fight. The ball will be found
to be hot exactly in proportion to its ve-
lOcity when arrested. Now this is the
case with the suns heat. All the me-
chanical power employed by man can be
traced to the sun. The water wheel is
turned by the sun. The heat raises the
water from the ocean and deposits it in
the form of rain on the mountains side.
The river collects the rain, fills the buck
cts Of the water wheel, and by this process
the sun indirectly works the machinery
of the mill.
The steam engine is not an exception.
Its power is derived from the heat of the
furnace, but the furnace depends for its
power on fuel. But how should fuel pos.
sess this power? 1t has derived it from
the sun.
The fuel as growing wood stored up the
power dispensed by the sun. The tree is

mers' heat, and, though it may lie fol
thousands of years as coal in the bowels
Of the earth, it retains the power till it il

that animal power is surely different

The Breath OF Life.

Whatever lives must breathe. What

health is but a pulmonary function, and
happiness castle in the air. The blood,
stifed with il-supplied or incapable lungs,
bIackens and curdles the hair, stifled be-
meath an impenetrable hat, dies and falls
away {; the skin, stitled by garments too
many and too close or smothered by its
own unremoved secretions, yields its du-
ty as guardian of the outposts of life aud
betrays the citadel to the enemy. ta
1t utters its mute protest agsinst rub
Der boots and air-proof coats, which, un-
less briefly and loosely worn, are portable

as garments. A breathlcss house is sui
eide made easy. The asthmatic complains
of his iabored breathing but forgets that
his house whcezcS worse than he, through
its listed windows and doors. He shuts
the easement because il admits cold he
shuts the stove damEer because it allows
the escape of heat How is his house to
catch its breath with mouth and nostrils
closed? Mamma folds her sleeping little
ones in blankets, and tucks them into
their close cribs with impenetrable Mar
seilles, of texture fit for balloon: If
the chicks are timid they draw the white
drapery over their heads, shutting out

poisonous air. Warmth is essential to
comfort, but pure air and rich blood are
the healthiest hcalers known. The earth
itself floats in an air bath forty.fVe miles
in length. The soil must. breathe or it
will not bear. Not only must the plow
let in the air fr, m above, but a porous
subsoil or frequent drains must give it an
exit from beneath, or you win only grudg-
ing gifts from the smothered soil. Choose

without an opening at the bottom, and
the rose folds its green calyx in despair
about its stifled buds. Nay, let the pores
In the stems and leaves become elfoked
with dust and the plant dwindles and
dies Of voiceless vegetable catarrh. The
ocean breathes in the trade winds and
laughs in. the shout of the tempest. Its
slow, beating pulses are the tides; noun
tain billows are the heavings of its lungs.
The kiss of the breeze gives it health and
purity ; both are strangled by the weight
of a breathless calm; and =.

Since, then, our life is but breath, let
it at least be strong and pure, and let US
not attempt the futile experiment of seek
ing it in exhausted receivers.

AN ExHUMED CITY.-A most singular
discovery has been made on the French
coast near the mouth of the Garonue. A
town has been discovered buried in the
sand, and church has already been ex-
tracted. Its original plan shows it to
have been built towards the close of the
Roman Empire, but changes made in it
had given it the appearance Of an edihce
Of mixed style, in which Gothic architec.
ture has usurped the place of the Roman.
It's original painting, its admirable sculp-
tured choir and Roman capitals are adorn.
ed with profouse ornaments, which are
attracting numbers of visitors. This
temple is all that remains Of those cities
described by Pliny and by Strabo; the
Gulf of GascOny abounds in ruins Of those
ancient cities. 1t has been 1900 years
since Novigamus. the old capital of Modoc
which was . celebrated city when the
Romans were masters of Gaul, was buried
under the ocean of all of that tract Of
territory, the Roche du COrdouan alone
is visible. The remains of Roman roads,
the site Of Jupiter's temple, the vestiges
of the Spanish MoOrs, and the road OF
Eleonore, have been rescued from the
sands in the neighborhoOd Of the long
buried city of SOulac. Nowhere have
the erosions Of the ocean been greater
than on the coast OF GaScony.

nable to do, because his neck was held

unable to do, because his neck was held
as with vice.
But the gladiator became gradually
weaker from fatigue and loss of blood
He knew the longer the combat lasted the
more danger he was in. He determined
then quickly to terminate it. He pressed
all his weight against the tiger, bending
him backwards as far as he could. He
heard the animals ribs breaking beneath
him, stream of blood issued from his
mouth.
He tried to free himself from the con.
vulsve grasp of the tiger, which grasped
[ MS neck in dying agony.
Feeling himself gradually sinking. the
I poor Jew summoneG ar 1Is powers, and
bore the tiger to the earth, where be plant
ed his knee on its painting sides, and still
pressing with all his power on its neck,
he saw the animals limbs stiffening in
death. 1t raised its head in vain endea-
vors to inhale air; its mouth was covered
With foam; its teeth we're convuisfvely
clasped together; it struggled desperately
for several moments, and then fell back
wards without tho least motion. It was
dead!
The victorious gladiator rose to his feet,
looked proudly around him, kicked the
PROSTATE body of his foe, and left the
arena amidst tumultuous applause. The
people looked on with surprise, astonished
at seeing the majestic tiger which so lately
was animated with anger. now no longer
moved.
There it lay in the midst of blood, with
stretched limbs and fireless eye, without
the slightest signs of life. And they
could not help admirng the young jew,
who had evinced so much firmness, cour-
age and mantincss and they all left the
amphitheatre satisfied with their days
amusement.
1t only remains for US to say, that the
brave Jews faults were pardoned, and he
was freed from future slavery, his master
giving him enough money to set himself
up in business.
He was afterwards killed in battle
where he exhibited great bravery, fighting
for the liberty Of Roms and the Romans.
1t is only necessary to observe, that the
account is strictly true, aS any one may
verify by consulting any we'll writtenShis.
tory Of Rome, under Trojan's reign. He
will see that after Trojan's triumph, more
than ten thousand gladiators were exh-
bited, and animals were slaughtered by
the thousands.
And this was in honor of a. man who
had slain more human beings than his less
bloodthirSty companions.
The gladiator life depended on the will
Of the audience, who pressed down their
thumbs if they wished him to be saved,
but turned them up if they wished him to
be killed, and ordered him to receive the
sword, which gladiators usually did with
the greatest tirmness.

power not derived from the sun is that o.
T 1be rise and fall Of the tide, as far as thil
is due to the moon. The trade winds may
also be regarded as an exception. This
power is derived from the rotation of the
earth, though the heat of the sun is ne
cessary to develop the power.
But the suns fuel is limited, and the
combustion must at last cease. The re-
searches of the German chemist lead tC
the conclusion that the photosphere is
fluid not gaseous. 1t cannot be conceived
a continuous solid.
l! is also probable that the region oi
the incandescent metals in the state oi
vapor is the rose-colored stratum seen in
total eclipses. Science has distinctly
traced the doom written on the solar syS.
tenn. 1t is destined to pass away. The
machine is running down. The central
fire will at last be exhausted The plan
cts and satellites in their spiral courses
will come to a standstill. But are we to
arrive at the conclusion that Gods glory
shall no longer be manifested in the heav-
ems ? or that this system is 10 rush into
annihilation ? No, there is no ground in
science for the belief that single particle
of matter will ever be annihilated, but
there is every ground for the belief that
the passing away Of the solar system is
only one. phase of some grander revolu.
ton, and that from the ashes Of the pres
ent system more glorious worlds and sys-
tens may arise. All this is in perfect,
almost literal, accordance with the Scrip
lures, which represent the heavens pass
ing away as scroll. "They shall wax
old as a garment; as vesture shalt thou
change them, and they shall be changed y
1t represents the phenomenal world as
ever changing-in a state Of unceasing
iuctuation-while the great absolute l
AM remains ever the same.

What is coneentment? The philoso-

very low price it can be obtained for.',,
What is happiness? A butterfly, that
roves from flower to flower, in the vast
garden Of existence, and which is eagerly
pursued by the multitude, in the vain
hope of winning the prize; yet 1t contin.

What is ambition? A. fierce and un.
controllable steed, that bears its rider
onward in the high road to perferment
but it oftentimes throws him such fall
that he rarely ever recovers.
What is crime? A wretched vaga-
bond, travelling from place to place in
fruitless endeavor to escape from justice,
who is constantly engaged in hot pursuit
A foe to virtue and happiness, though at
times the companion of poor innocence,
which is too often made to sufcS 4ot ne

What is justice? A pair of scales, in
which the actions Of mankind are often
weighed, the true weights being some
times bought mp by power and wealth,
whilst others that are incorrect are sub.

What is idleness? A public mint,
where various kinds of mischief is coined
and extensively ciculated amongst the
most despicable of the human race.
What is fear? A frightful and dan.
gerous substance to the really guilty, but
a vain and harmless shadow to the con.

What is fortune? A capricious dame,
who often rejects those who are most
anxious to solicit her favors; whilst 9th.

What is fashion? beautiful envel-

and polished exterior, the appearance of
which gives no certain indication of the
real value Of what is contained therein.
What is wit? A sparkling beverage,
that is highly exhi!eratinG and agreeable
when taken at the expense Of others, but
when taken at our own cost it becomes
unpleasant and bitter.
What is knowledge? A key that un-
ravels all mysteries, and which unlocks
the entrance and discovers new. unseen
and untrodden paths in the hitherto un-
