The Last DAYS of Palmerston.

The London Daily Mews says of Palm
erston's last days:
Latterly the gout had sadly troubled
him, but he was not suffering from that
when the fatal week began. It was from
an infiammatory attack of the bladder that
the Premier died. He was driving out on
Thursday. last, near Brocket Hall,--he
had been warned TO take great care Of
himself, but, feeling over warm with the
precautions adopted, he imprudsntIy ex-
posed himself to chill, and returned to
the house in such state that collapse en-.
sued, and but for the presence of the phy-
sician it is possible that he would have
died within two hours. He recovered,
however, from that; but lay in his bed
very weak, and very much changed, for
the affection mounted to the ducts and
kidneys, and. the secretions being sus.
pended. the blood was becoming poisoned. =.
Still his superb constitution gave hopes,
especially when the difficulty of respira.
ration became less, and on Tuesday af-
ternoon favorable bulletin was issued /;
but at night his condition saddenly grew
much worse, and it was soon apparent
that the end approached.

execution. and. l should judge that at least
six hundaed persons Witnessed it. s
The prisoner walked from his cell to tho

acquaiDtances on the way; mounted the
scaffold with as much apparent composure.
and looking moro like a statesman than a
condemned man, as he was and, when Col.
Shafter was reading the charges and specifi-

THE EARLY DEAD.
Have you heard the voice Of monrnir

Have you heard the voice Of mourning,
As the winds goby:
Have you heard the fitful sigbipg,
Heard tho faint and wailing crying
or the night winds in their trying
Hurrying shadows to ou,fly?
They have flontod o'or tho bier
Silently with loving fear;
Ger hor brow the golden hair
They have tossed;
Kissed the hands upon her breast,
Stirred the rosebuds there at rest.
When che opened not her eyes,
Then they started iu surprise,
Aud they shuddering fled away, ..
Signing, murmuring on their way,
OF the carly lost. ..- =. .,
Have you seen how bright the stars
Shine in the sky, ... P.
Heeding not tho winds low moaning
Hurrying by : .-t, ....,
On the gom. paved path TO Heaven
Went an angel up tonight,
To country whero no even
Softly steals away tho light;
And her robe of wondrous whitcnoss
Scattered glory DER the way,
Till il shone with dazzling brightness,
Aud the shadows fled away.
Now tho fitfu! Winds are moaning,
Moaning for the dead, -
And the stars arc shining brightly
For o vision f1ed.

The Egg, a Miniature Universe.

The following remarkable passage oc-
ours in Prof. Agazziz' Methods of Study
in Natural History
One can hardly conceive The beauty OF
the egg as seen through the microscope
at this period Of its growth, when the en-.
tire yolk is divided, with he dark gran
ules on one side; while the other side, in
which the transparent halo of the vesci.
Gle is seen, is brilliant with light. With
the growth of the egg these granules en-
large, become more distinct, and under
the microscope some Of them appear TO be
hollow. They are not round in form, but
rather irregular, and under the effect oil
light they are exceeding brilliant. Pres.
entity. instead Of being scattered equally
over the space they occupy, they form
clusters--constellatio as it were-aud
between these clusters are clear spaces,
produced by the separation of the albu.
men from the oil. AT this period OF its
growth there is a wonderful resemblance
between the appearance of the egg when
seen under the microscope, and the firm
ament with the heavenly bodies. The
little clusters or considerations are equally
divided. Here and there are two aud two
like double stars, or sometimes in threes,
fives or sevens, recalling the Pleiades;-
and the clear slbumlnous tracts between
are like the empty spaces separating the
stars. This is simply true, that such is
the actual appearance Of the yolk at this
time; and the idea cannot but suggest it.
sell to the mind, that the thoughts which
have been embodied In the universe are
recalled here within the little egg, pre-.
senting miniature diagram of the firm.
ament. This is one Of the first changes
OF the yolk, ending by forming regular
clusters with sort OF network of albu.
men between. and then this phase OF the
growth is complete

EXTRAORDINARY DINNER PARTY.-A

They had long and animated converse.
tion about the war, reconstruction, and the
future Of the country, and seemed to agree
admirably in their conclusions. .
The rebellion threw men into strange
positions, but ! cannot think q greater va
riety OF discordan. elements could have
been assembled together. than was in that
coterie. The most ultra and life.l long

Sudden Wealth.

A new class Of prosperous If not wealthy
citizens, have grown up in our midst. In
certain circles they would be termed par.

great conflict began. AS contractors, of.
ticials, agents, &c., they have suddenly
become rich. With growing affluence q
desire for display in dress. equipage, Jew.
elry, furniture and the like, arises. dear

rule in such cases. No liquors taste 60
agreeably as those produced somewhere
near the antipodes, and so with every ar
ticle OF luxury when display is the great
object. We are assured that never before
was there q greater demand for certain
descriptions of jewelry than at the present
time. A demand of that seems to arise
from class denominated 'upstarts' by the
older families, but which thinks il has as

If every link in the family chain. for two
centuries at least, had been stamped with
the unmistakable F. F. What applies TO
liquors and jewelry will also apply to ev-
