Very Fine Writing,

Among the Assyrians, the common
mode of keeping records of national and
historical events, was by stamping the
words upon bricks, tiles, or cylinders of
clay baked after the impression was pro-
duced. Mr. Layard, the celebrated ex-
plorer, in digging among ruins of ancient
Ninevah, found many specimens of these
records, most of which were written in
such small characters, that their forms
could only be made out with the use Of
microscope. A rude maguifying glass,
made of the Of rock crystal, was found,
which had probably been used for such
purpose. At the present day, irstru-
ments are used for producing microscop.
ic writing, exceeding anything the an
clients could execute, and aim, st surpass.
ing belief. By an apparatus called the
pentagraph, the Lords Prayer has been
written in space looking to the eye like
minute dot, and covering only the 1885,
OO0th part of an incn Under a good
microscope the letters are beautifully clear
and legible." 1t has been calculated that
in this way the whole Bible might be
written in less than the 22d part of
square inch. In using the machine, the
operator writes with pencil attached to
the end of long lever, and the marks
thus made are reduced almost infintesi-
mally by series of levers properly ar
ranged, and engraved on glass plate,
which is made to move over a diamond
point. By means of photography, re-
ducing the size of letters with suitable
lenses, equally astonishing writing has
been produced. We do not know of any
especially useful application made of such
writing, but it might serve q good pur-
pose in preserving secret dispatches in
the time of war which would escape no.
tice if the messengers were captured.

A ROMANCE IN REAL L1FE.-About
four years ago young married man, re =
siding in the vicinity of Hampstead, Nd,
about fifteen miles from this place enlist
ed in the Union army and left his wife
and home to try the hardships of the war
The division to which he belonged being
attached to McClellan's command, he be-
came engaged in the severely contested
battle of Antietam. Among the reported
as having been killed, his wife found the
name of her husband. True to her
plighted love, she repaired to the battle
ground, and as she thought, found the
corpse of her husband. She had his re-
mains brought home and buried. Time
rolling on, she laid aside the widow
weeds and contracted another mairimoni-
al alliance, laboring under the impression
that she had really buried her first hus-
band. Strange to say, few weeks ago,
he returned hale and hearty. What was
now to be done-two husbands to whom
she was legally married stood before her.
What could or should she do? Like a
true and devoted woman, she chung to her
first love and resolved to live with her
first husband. This war has really brought
forth many singular incidents. An &C.
currence of the same character took place
some time since in Ohio, where the wo-
man made similar decision, but not be-
fore two husbands had very severe fsti.

THE MOUNTAINS OF LIFE.

There land far away, mid stars, we are told,
Where they know not the sorrows of Time;
Where the pure waters wander through valleys
ofgold,
And life is treasure sublime:
IT'S the land of our God tits the home of our
Where the ages of splendor alternately roll,
Where the weary traveller reaches his goal,
On the evergreen mountains of life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land,
But our visions have told of its bliss
And our songs by the gates of its garden are
famed,
When we faint in the desert at this;
And we sometimes have longed for this holy re-
pose,
When our spirits are torn with temptation and
woes,
And we've drunk from the tide of the river that
From the evergreen mountains of life.
Oh the stars never tread the blue mountains at
night,
But we think where the ransomed trod,
And the day never smiles from his palace of light
But we feel the bright smiles of our God;
We are travelling homeward through changes
and gloom,
To kingdom where pleasures unchangingly
bloom,
And our Guide is the Glory that shines through
the tomb
From the evergreen mountains of life.

"Thcu thinkest," said he to Fazelli

"Dost thou think thyself wiser than

"Then how" resumed Fazelli, "canst
thou prove that each succeeding genera

"The aggregate of knowledge is GER

"True, o my king replied Fazelli,
"but knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom
points out the road to happiness and vir-

with a mass of facts, which are not neces.

tue or happiness, the only objects worthy
the pursuit of a wise man. The kuowl.
edge of things has certainly increased,
but, o king remember that wisdom is
always the same as much so as the great
power by whom it is dispensed. Thou
mayst perhaps know more of the moon,
the stars, tho earth, and the sea, than
thy father; but of thy organization, thy
soul, thy passions, appetites, the power te
direct them, and the Being who bestowed
them upon thee, thou knowest no more
than the meanest of thy fathers slaves
"Ihou sayest true,' replied the calf

not comprehend furnishes proof of the

Alexandria, and its Ruins.

The Eastern correspondent of the Bos-

Egypt, compares the present condition of
that ancient city with its former magnif.
cence:
All its monuments are in an almost
complete state Of ruin. Who, to look up
on the city in its present Conditional
most entirely devoid of structures with
any pretense to elegance-would imagine
this ground to have been once occupied
by the stately collection of proud domes
and obellsks, glittering crescents, endless
colonnades, the luxuriant baths, and cost
ly palaces of its early grandeur? These
are precipltated into shapeless heaps of
marble, 'labaster, porphyry, and granite,
and for some time formed quarry from
which the rapacious hand of thu Turk,
Genoese, and Venetian cleaned abundant
supplies of building material.
The descriptions of Alexandra, record
ed in history as it existed in Its first es-
tate are almost fabulous. Four thousand
palaces reared their proud forms here, and
among other public edifices was the tenn.
pie OF Scraps, with its grand ascent of
400 steps. But still more wonderful was
that vast collection of manuscripts COM
posing the library, amounting to 700, 900
volumes. By the barbarous decree of
Omar; these were converted into fuel for
the 1000 baths of the city, which were
