Hardly day passes but we are consulted by one

was surprised at the difference between sc;en-

to in the backwoods. He brought specimen
OF the style, which is copied from the original

Which rendered into English reads as fol-

Welcome, sweet day of rest,

Welcome to this reviving breast
And these rejoicing eyes.

enough to think it necessary for good singing
that the words OF the hymn should be sung

The Weight and Length Of the Ma.
tiOnal Debt.
Prom the Cincinnati Times.

Prom the Cincinnati Times. .
Mr.. James Fair, the calculating prodigy, has
made the following calculation of the weight
and measure of the national debt, taking as o
premise that Its amount is, in round numbers,
1000 millions dollars:
A silver dollar measures l. inches in diam
eter. Hence eight dollars, laid side by side,
make one foot, tWenty-four one yard, and
"a, $40 an English mile The circumference of
the globe is 81 900 miles, and therefore $9l2,-
384, 900 laid in one line would gird!e 1t. But
even this enormous sum. being less than Q
quarter part of our debt. the whole amount of
the latter would encircle it -four Zines and over.
lap by 8, $40 miles. rn. ..g
Now estimating the weight of silver dollar
al one ounce. sixteen of them would make q
pound, and reckoning 2, 900 pounds to the tun,
the entire debt would weigh 225, 900 TONS and
therefore 125 ships of 1000 tuns each, would be
required to forward it by water.
Again, allowing two tuns for the burthen of
heavy baggage wagon, 81, 500 wagons would
be needed 70 convey this monstrous mass OF
Indebtedness In silver Now an elliptical circle
formed Of these wagons alone ranged length
wise with their teams, would encircle the three
cities of New York, Albany and Troy.
Still another interesting guage of this huge
amount Were it possible for man to count
$66 per minute and continue to work steadily
without intermission tor ten hours of each day
for six days In the week, it would cost him 3SS
years and 40 days to complete the computation
by SINGLE silver dollars. Thns, it would en-
ploy 365 men more than one year, 1850 men
one month lib $50 men one day for ten hours,
and 1, 138. 800 one of those hours to finish the
Job

The True Man.

He Is above a mean thing. He invades
no secrets in his keeping of another. He
betrays no secrets cOn6ded to his keeping.
He never struts in borrowed plumage.
He never takes selfish advantages of our
mistakes. He never stabs in the dark.
He is ashamed OF inuendoes. He is not
one thing to q mans face and another be-
hind his back. If by accident he comes
in possession of his neighbor's oounsels,
he passes upon them an act OF instant OBJ
Hvion. He bears sealed packages without
tampering with the wax. Papers not
meant for his eye, whether they f1utter at
the window or lie open before him in m
guarded exposure, are sacred to him. he
enoroaches on no privacy of others, how
ever the sentry sleeps. Bolts and bars,
locks and keys, hedges and pickets, bonds
and securities, notices to trespassers, are
none of them for him. He may be trusted
himself out of sight-nesr the thinnest
partition-anywhere. He buys no office,
he sells none, he intrigues tor no one. He
would rather fail of his rights than win by
dishonor. He will eat honest bread. He
insults no man.. He tramples on no sens
tive feeling. If he have rebuke for an
other, he is straight forward, openly,
manly. In whatever he judges honorable
he practices toward every man.

A BiiIiom.

Until within the last few years there
was very little "demsnd" for the term
billion now We very frequently sec it
used. In the following from the Chicago
Repabttcas, our youthful readers may End
something to interest them: 2 ~ .4
A subscriber writes us that considerable dis.
cussion has arisen In the lumber market of this
city as to the correct method of expr. esing the
following figures, viz I'll 987 573, 81 IS, and
requests our published opinion on the same.
According 10 Webster the word billion signi.
des twice . million. and the French numer.
alton for billion Is one Thousand mi lena or
In figures. 1.000, 0OG, 900; and according to the
Engish method It Is q million Of millions. or
1 900 QUO 0Oo, O00 In tb English CSesoped;a,
on the subject OF enumern ION, Il sayss = Our
present numerative system Is stated by writers
70 employ the words uni ten, hundred, thou
sand million, billion, tr ,",,. quadriiiion. ouin.
tillion sextlion, septillio octillion, nouiliion,
&c. But the greater part Of this b pure state
ment; for the terms billion, triton, &c,
though defined BY arithmetical writer's, have
never found their way into common use. the
want of such large numbers, never havii 2 been
experienced. TOnstal expressly SAYS that. In bis
time (Henry VIII the common reckoning from
millions was made b. millions Of millions. &C..
anu HSccOtu6 uScD uOuiuk @Otc tDoO millions
repeated; 50 that II seems that the billions
and higher denominations were never any
thing but . fancy Of arilhuetical writer's,
The prt.b ,bllity of this IL increased bv their
meant, different things in different countries;
with u lin Euglsndl the billion is o million
OF millions = tri.lion. million of billions, and
each denomination Is million times the one
preceding. With the French and other CONT.
mental nations Except sumo Of the Oldest writ.
ers, at least among the Italians, and also in
the United Stat,sl ths billion is q thousand
millions. and each denomination il thousand
times the preceding" Trr.
The question as 10 the method of enumera-
ton bes ond the expression of 8 million has
ouIy occurred or been brought prom-
uent'y to the public noice nee the con-
clu>ion Of the la,e war, when the correct
method of expressing the figures repre-
ssnI,ng Tho public debt arose Il has
been argued pro and con, bat the weight Ct
argum, ut il seems to Us, has favored the Eng
ylish method OF expression. II Is in order to
AVOID the repetition of the word million, when
