MICROSCOPIC REvELArIoxs.-Bru lttio|
Of the fuzz from the wing Of a dead butterfly
and let it fall upon piece of glass. II will be|
seen on glass as fine golden dust. Slide the|
glass under the microscope, and each particle
of the dust will reveal itself as perfect sym1
metrical feather.
Give your arm slight prick. so as to drawl
a small drop Of blood; mix the blood with al
drop of vinegar aud water, and place it upon|
the glass slide under the microscope. You will
discover that the red matter of the blood isl
formed of innumerable globules or disks, which
though so small as TO be separately invsible|
to the naked eye, appear under the mieroscopel
each larger than letter o, of the print.
Take a drop of water from a Stagnant pool
or ditch, or sluggish brook, dipping it fron,|
among the green vegetable matter on the top.
On holding the water to the light it will look
a little milky: but on placing the smallest drop
under the microscope, you will find it swarm
ing with hcndreds of strange animals, that are
swimming about in it with the greatest vyaci-
ty. These animalcules exist in such multiiudes
that any effort 10 conceive of their numbers
bewilders the imagination.
The invisible universe Of created beings is
the most wonderful of all the revelations of the
microscope. During the whole of mans ex-
istence on the earth, while he has been fight
ing, tanning and studying the lower animals
which were visible to the sight, he has been
surrounded by these other multitudes of the
earth's inhabitants without any suspicion Of
their existence 10 endless variety of form and
structure, they are bursting through their ac-
tive lives pursuing their prey-defeDding
their persons their wars-prosecuting
their amours-multplying their Species aud
ending their careers; countless hosts at each
tick of the clock passing out of existence, and
making way for new hosts that are following
in endless succession. What other fields Of
creation may yet, by some inconceivable meth
DDS, be revealed to our knowledge?

passed through the opposite door. He natu-

med his reading, with wondering smile at his

hour, the very same thing occurred again; and
there was he countenance of the spectator an
imploring look which terrified him. He at
once resolved 10 return home; with some diff
Guilty he got boatman to take him across;
and when he reached his house be was struck
by tie ghaslly aud alarmed look of the maid

For the UNION RECORD.
EARTH TO EARTH"

Room for one more among the dead
We ask on earth, to-day
Now when the year Is crowning thee,
With garlands bright of May.
Make room for one so late released,
From weary months of pain;
No other boon OF thee oh, earth,
Will he e'er ask again.
Borne hither by no kindred friend,
He claims from Us tear
For We who fashion now his grave,
May sometime need it here.
Earrh's common sympathies and woes,
Our hearts together bind,
We stand here for the absent sire,
And friends and brother kind.
No more from Ell Dorado's shore,
His coming will they wait;
No white winged ship may bear him through
Paci6cs Golden Gate.
The cherished plans his youth had formed
The joys he ioiled TO win,
Have vanished and the unseen world
Through death he enters in.
Take him oh, earth, now when the hills
Are newly clothed BY Spring;
When all the air is filed with songs
Of wild birds on the wing.
For It's not Age with hoary head,
We give to thine embrace;
'Tis youth along whose future way,
Seemed many a shining place.
Watt to his fair Wisconsin home,
Ye balmy winds of May.
The tidngs to the sorrowing ones
The burial of to-day.
A dirge for others moldering forms,
The sheltering pines here sing;
Oh, may some kindly passing breeze,
An added note now bring,
For him who finds an early tomb,
Far from his kindred dead,
And earth. with all thy kindest care,
Pillow his youthful head. E.
