NOTHING LOST IN THE UNIvERsE.-What an econ
om!st is Nature, 50 made by Tod! She economies
the light that she so immensely possesses
catches it the candle, after the sun has
gene down. as We say, when he is but rising on other
lands, and sends it nconcevaby far to US from the
stars. She ECONOMICS heat eqnaizing it for the
life and health of the whole world by currents in
the air and ocean of the electric fluid. She econo-
mixes water to answer Thousand successive impo:-
tsnt purposes in thousand different places with
the same drop. How nicely and carefully she sits
out its minutest portions from the briny sea, to
cleanse the air and revive the plants at this season,
to fill the springs and paint the sky, and support
all human life How, with her elemental agencies,
she crumbes and bears down the barren rock from
the mountains and the hills to fertiize for bound
less crops the valley and the grain! How she
makes the ashes even of the dead spring into grass
and blossom into flowers! How applying the same
economy to crude mineral, from the very gravel in
the ground she distis curious delicate wash, to
protect the tender stalks of the growing grain,
though you may not think what perhaps cuts your
hand to bleeding is this varnish of flint.
How she saves every hair, particle, nail pairing
and exhalation, to turn it to some accountl How
she converts Frost and the snow that manures the
poor mans ground into harvests of corn and wheat
How she nourishes her vegetable offspring, so that
her animals may not hunger! The roots ola shrub,
thirsty for supply that bad been drawn aside by
an artificial channel have been known, in their re-
solution not to be defrauded tind their way to the
aqueduct under ground, and bore hole through its
soft wooded plug, that every fibre might drink its
fill, as was dvinely intended. To one who looks
with careless view nature, it seems as il every
thing with her was in extraragant excess We
quote the line about ''lnany flower born to b. ush
unseen" and We talk of the foods that are poured
away to no purpose. But close inspection cor
reefs that error, and shows how frugal her utility
and perfect her order, enough, but 'no room to in
sert a PARTICLE" however art may rearrange he,
forms to educate and give scope to human power.

BANK OF NoErn CARoL1NA.-This Bank has lust
declared asemi annual dividend of six per cent.
though we think it will prove very useless one to
the stockholders. The advertisement announcing
the dividend says:
"A dividend of six per cent on the capital stock
OF this Bank for the last six months has been de.
clared, payable in the four per cent Bonds of the
Confederate States at their face and all sums un-
der one hundred dollars payable in Confederate
Treasury Notes at deduction of one. third"
There are many persons dependent, to a great
extent, for support on their Bank dividends but
how can such dividend as this be of much benefit
to them? Most persons have paid their taxes and
the per cent. bonds are not now wanted for that
purpose and we think it will be found hard mat.
ter to exchange them for money. So. upon the
whole, the Bank might as we'll not have declared
any dividend at all, so far as benefttng the stock
holders is concerned, as to declare one in the way
it has done.-Charlotte Democrat.

The CANE OF CHEsS.-Chess is said to have been
invented by Brahmin, for the purpose ofreforming
an Indian king; but, instructed by those who had
gone before him, he was sensible that his lesson
would not prove of any service until the prince
should make the application of it to himself, and
think it was done by any other. With this view
he invented the game chess, where the king though
the most considerable of all the pieces, is impotent
toattacS as we'll as defend himself against his en-
emys, without the assistance of his subjects and
soldiers. The game became famous the king would
learn it the Brahmin was pitched upon to teach
it to him, and under the pretence of explaining to
him the rules Of the game, and showing him the
skill required to make of the other pieces for
the king. defence, he made him perceive truths
which he had hitherto refused to hear. He made
an application himself of the Brahmin's lessons
and now convinced that in the peoples love of their
king consisted all bis strength, he altered his con.
duct, and by that prevented the m,stortunes that
threatened him. The Brahmin was lett to the
choice of his reward and he desired that the num-
Der of grains of corn which the number of squares
on the chess board should produce might be given
him for the first two four for the third and so
on doubling always to sixty fourth. But when
the calculation was made, it was found that the
king bad engaged himself in a grant, for the
performance Of which neither all his treasures nor
his vast dominons were sufficient. The Brahmin
la;d hold of this opportunity to convince him of
what Importance it was fer kings to be on there
guard against those who are always about them
From India the game passed into Persia, where it
received the name schertengi, or game of the king
or shah. The piece now called the queen was the
vizer, which was afterwards corrupted to VERGE
virga and afterwards to lady and queen This piece
at first, could move only the pawns. The French
gaantry, it is said extended the prcrogatves of the
lady, and made her the most considerable piece in
the game The bishop in India was an elephant
The knight has the same name and figure every
which, The fifth piece, which we call the castle or
rock, was originally camel, which they used in
war. The pawn Tor common soldiers) has suffered

THE SMACK IN SCHOOL.

A district school not far away,
Mid Berkshire hills, one winters day
Was hunming with its wonted noise
OF threcs core mingled girls and boys:
Some few upon their task intent,
But more on furtiye mischief bent
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on copy book;
When suddenly behind his back,
Rose Sharp and clear rousing SNACK,
AS t'were a battery of bliss
Let off in one tremendous kiss!
"What's that ?" the startled master cries;
"That thir." little imp replies;
"Wath William Width, you pleathe-
thaw him kith Thuthannah Peathe J.
With frown to make statue thrill,
The master thundered-" Hither, Will"
Like wretch o'ertaken in his track,
With stolen chattels on his back,
Will hung his head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
"A great, green, bashful simpleton;
The butt of ali good natured fun
With smile suppressed, and birch appraised,
The threatener filtered: {" am amazed
That you, my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty of an act go rude
Before the whole set school to boot
What evil genius put you to ii"
"'Twas she, herself sir, sobbed the lad,
~ did Mt mean to be so bad
But when Susannah shock her curla,
And whispered was 'fraid of girls,
And durs'nt kiss baby's doll
