AN ANCIENT PUzzLE.-Thc cele-
brated and well known puzzle Of Ach-
lilies and the tortoise was invented by
Zeno of Flea some centuries before
Christ, and furnishes good example
of this philosophical play. If Achilles
and tortoise were to run race, and
Achilles we're to run ten times as fast
as the tortoise, if the latter had the
start, Achilles would never overtake the
tortoise, as can be thus shown: Sup
pose them at the starting Of Achilles to
be separated by space of thousand
feet; when Achilles has run this thou
sand, the tortoise would have run
hundred, and when Achilles had run
this hundred the tortoise would have
run ten, and so on forever. This soph-
ism has been considered insoluble by
many philosophers, and among others
by DIR. Thomas Brown, since it actually
leads to an absurd conclusion by sound
argument. The fallacy lies in the con-
cealed assumption what that is infinitely
divisible is also infinite.

The Stranger of the Sill.
BY T. BUCHANAN REApg.

Between the bread fields of wheat and corn
Is the lovely home where | was born:
The peach tree leans against the wall,
And the woedhine wanderS over all:
There is the shaded doorway still
Bat strangers foot has crossed the sill.
There is the bsrn-snd. as of we're
can smell the hay from the open door;
And see the busy swallows thrpng
And hear the pewee's mournial song:
But the stranger c0mes-O. painful proof
His sheayes are piled 10 the heated roof.
There is the orehsrd-the very trees
That knew my childhood 50 we'll to please
Where | watched the shaiowy moments run.
Til life imbibed more OF shade than sun:
The swing from the bough still sweeps the air,
But the strangers children are swinging fhers
1t bubbles, the shady spring below.
With its bulrush brook where the hazels grow;
Twas there found the calamus root,
And watched the minnows poise and shoot,
And heard the robin lave his wing
But the strangers bucket is at the spring.
0 We who daily cross the sill,
Step lightly, for | love it still;
And when you crown the old barn caves.
Then think what countless harvest sheaves
Have passed within that scented door,
To gladden. eyes that are no more.

A REMARKABLE FAMILY GATHER
1NG.-A remarkable Thanksgiving
gathering took place in York, Maine,
at the residence of Daniel Mcintyre.
Four generations were present. The
venerable grandfather is eighty
years of age, and, what is remarkable,
weighs but seventy pounds, with not
even gray hair intermixed with his
black locks or whiskers. He carries on
his farm in person; last Summer, worked
with the hands moving in the field, and
now performs all the duties connected
with the care of two yoke of oxen, FIVE
COWS, one hundred sheep, etc., etc.,
assisted only by a young lad. He reads
his newspaper regularly without specta-
cles. His bigger and better half is
hale and hearty, weighing two hundred
and twenty-five pounds. They have
had twelve children, eleven of them
being alive ten of whom were present
at the Thanksgiving feast, one, not
having quite reached his growth, meas
uring six feet three inches while standing
in his stockings, with lots of grandchil-
dren to make grandmother's goodies
disappear somewhat rapidly.

WONDERS OF A WATcH.-very few
who carry watch ever think Of the
delicate cOmplexity of its mechanism,
or of the extraordinary and unceasing
labor it performs, and how astonishingly
well it bears up and does its duty under
what would be considered very shabby
treatment of any other piece Of ma
chinery. There are many who think
watch ought to run for years withoutA
drop Of oil, who would not think of run
ming common machine day without
oiling, the wheels of which do but frac-
ton of the service. We were very
forcibly. struck with this thought the
other day, on hearing person remark,
that, by way Of gratifying his curiosity,
he had made calculation of the num-
Der of revolutions which the wheels Of
an American watch make in a day and
year. The result Of this calculation
is as suggestive as it is interesting. For
example; the main wheel makes four
revolutions in twenty-four hours, or
fourteen hundred and sixty in year;
the second or centre wheel, twenty -four
revolutions in twentysfours, or eight
'ns"sand seven hundred and sixty in o
year 'iie third wheel, a hundred and
ninety-two in two.-v-four hours or f;ftv-
nine thousand and eighty :, a wear
the fourth wheel (which carries .Ao
second hand,) twenty-four hundred and
forty in twenty four hours, ors6se bun
dred and twenty FIVE thousand six hun
dred in year the fifth or 'scape wheel,
twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty
in twenty four hours, or four million
seven hundred and twenty-eight thou
sand four hundred revolutions IN year;
while the beats or vibrations made in
twenty -four hours are three hundred
and eighty eight thousand eight hun
dred, or hundred and forty one mil
lion eight hundred and twelve thousand
IN year.
