Is the Sum Inhabitedf

Sir John Herschel concludes that the
sun Is a planet abundantly stored with
inhabitants; his differences being drawn
from the following arguments: On the
tops OF mountains of sufficient height, at
an altitude where clouds seldom reach to
shelter them from the direct rays of the
sun, are always found regions of ice and
snow. Now, if the solar rays themselves
convey all the heat TO this globe, it ought
to be the hottest where the course is
| least interrupted. Again, eronauts all
confirm the coldness of the upper regions
OF the atmosphere. Since, therefore.
even on our earth, the heat of any situa-
ton depends upon the aptness of the me-
dunn 10 yield to the impression of solar
rays, we have only to admit that on the
sun itself, the elastic fluids composing its
atmosphere and the matter on the sur
face are OF such nature as not to be ca
pable OF any affection from its own ravs.
Indeed, this seems TO be proved from
the copious emission of them; for if the
elastic fluids OF the atmosphere, or the
matter on the surface of the sun, were of
such a nature as TO admit of an easy
chemical combination with their rays-
their emission would be impeded. Anoth-
er well known fact is, that the solar focus
of the largest lens thrown into the cir
will occasion no sensible heat in the place
where it had been kept for considerable
time, although its power of exciting COM
bustion, when proper bodies are exposed,
should be sufficient to fuse the most re-
fractory substances.
Thus, remarks the Scientific American,
from arguments based solely upon the |
supposed physical constitution of that |
luminary, he deduces the somewhat as
tonishing idea that the sun is inhabited. |

Make way for his path OF glory through the dim
and shadowy room;
Go speak to him words Of comfort and teach
him the way to die,
With his eyes upraised from the starry nag 70

And tell him brave hearts are beating, with
pulses as noble as thine;
That We count them at home by tie thousand
thou sweetest sister OF mine
That they tail not and finch not from duty, while
the vials Of wrath are ontpoured,
And tell him to call it not grievous, but joyous
to fall by the sword.
When the hosts Of the foe are outnumbered, and
the day Of the Lord is at hand.
Shall we halt in the heat Of the battle, and fail
at the word Of command?
Oh no! through the trouble and anguish, by the
terrible pathway Of blood,
We must bear up the flag Of our reedom. on-on

Till the pulse in his strong arm be strengthened,
and the blood courses free in his veins.
Then take the good sword from its scabbar d
and front his pale face to the foe,
And bid him march onward, unconquered, tho,
stricken again, he lie low;
He shall see in the dream Of his slumber, he
shall know in his souls swift release,
That the herads afar on the mo antains come
bearing the lilies of peace.
When the blood Of the Old Dominion shall lie
trod in its pride to the dust,
When her swords and her traitorous banners
are consumed by the moth and the rust.
When the gold and the purple lie furnished, and
the light is gone out in her halls,
And she sees the last slave, freed from letters,
walk out by her pitiful walls.
Though late comes the signal Of promise, when
the horse and the rider shall reel,
And slow with the hope of the ages, comes the
roll Of Gods chariot wheel;
Yet sure as Gods heaven above us, on the gilt

"Ihe days of thy kingdom are numbered" and
our last armed foe shall be dead.

A Vessel Carried Over Niagara Fall!

vessel Carried over Niagara rails
An obliging correspondent at Chippe-
wa sends US an account of melan choly
occurrence which took place on the Nj
agara river on Monday last, which re-
suited 10 the death of one man BY being
carried over the falls, and caused immi.
nent peril to FIVE others, as we'll as the
l.ss Of small vessel. About IL o'clock
in the morning, the steam tug A. d.
Griffin, of Buffalo, reached Chippewa,
having in tow two scows, the Abby and
the A. Murray, of Port Robinson. The
Captain of the steamer not knowing the
depth of water, kept to far into the riv-
er, with not sufficient steam to keep
headway on the scows. One of the lat.
ter, the A. Murry, striking against the
spiies at the entrance of the har Dor swung
around with the current almost into the
jaws of the mighty cataract. The Cap
tain and four men who were On board,
seeing the helpless position into which
the vessel had got, and the great peril
with which they were eatened-being
within less than five minutes distance
of the great fall-leaped from the vessel,
aud boldly struck for shore. Four Of
them, the Captain included, succeeded
by great exertious in maintaining them
selves above the surface but, sad to re-
late, the fifth sank amid the leaping and
boiling waters, and was carried over the
cataract. In the meantime boat, mann
ed by two brave men, shot out from the
mouth Of Welland river to the assistance
Of the helpless beings in the scow. Tht
oarsmen pulled bravely out, rescued tht
men from their perilous position, ane
succeeded in reaching the shore jus
above the first rapid. One minute NOR,
and they would have been carried owe

much praise cannot be given to the mel

glided along the stream till it reached
