Many remedies have been offered TO the pub

wholly improper to answer the purposes for
which they are recommended.
A jndieious and really useful composition,

MISCELLANEOUS JOTTING.S.


DR.. H. Vogel has made an actometer
which he is confident will reduce the main
difficulty of carbon printing to child's play.
The negative is placed in the light simultane-
ously with the instrument, which is graduated
like a Thermometer, and left there until the
instrument indicates a certain degree; this
degree of printing has to be previously estab-
lished by experiment. strip of carbon
paper is placed under the negative and eX
posed, and gradually as the instrument indi-
Gates four six, or eight degrees, covered up.
The strip is afterwards developed, and it is
easy to see which degree of the act meter cor
responds with the best development. When
the necessary degree of several negatives has
once been ascertained, it becomes an easy
matter to judge, by comparison, the requisite
time for new negative.
The Gazette du MIDI publishes the follow
ing order of MenOtti Garibaldi:-
IA corps of twenty men, selected and com
manded by sub-lieutenant Oreste Zannetti,
will be formed to seize all those who abandon
their company, so that they may be tried by a
court-martial and severely punished, or even
shot. Those who succeed in eluding the vigi-
lance of their superiors will be publicly covered
with infamy, and declared before Italy vile
and traitors"
The Pdtrie mentions little circumstance
which lately occurred at the Arenes Athle-
tiques. During pause in the performance,
an individual suddenly sang the "Marsel-
laise." He was expelled, in spite of the wish
expressed by the public to leave him undis-
turbed.
"A statue has been unveiled at Rotterdam
of the statesman who, after the death of Napo-
leon, undertook the organization of the Dutch
Acknowledgment Karel Graaf van Hogen-
dorp. The King and royal family were present
at the ceremony.
The thirty-sixth birthday of the Prince
Royal of Prussia was celebrated recently at
Baden, where the Grand Duke and Duchess,
Prince Louis of Hesse, and the Princess Alice
of England, had arrived to join the King and
Queen of Prussia.

like fiery snakes, ran hither and thither down
the slopes of the mountain, soorching and con-
suming everything in their pathway, while
the mountain hurled high in air the red-hot
lava and sulphurous ashes, with noise that
shook the very armament. The entire oonti-
nent, throughout its northern and southern
range. felt the vigorous awakening of the vol
cano. Imperial Rome, hundreds of miles
away, was covered with ashes, of which
Northern Africa Egypt, and Asia Minor re
eeiyed their full share; the sun was turned
into blood, and the people very naturally
thought that the end of the world had come
Well might Pliny the younger say in his letter
to the historian Tacitus, "Nothing here was to
be heard but the shrielxs of women, the
screams of children, and the cries of men.
Some calling for their children others for
their parents, others for their husbands-one
lameRting his own fate, another that of his
family-some lifting their hands to the gods;
but the greater part imagining that the last,
the eternal night was come, which was to
destroy the gods and the world together"
At the close of this first fearful eruption

their beauty, was covered many feet deep

years old. He entered the Masonic fraternity
just early in life as the rules of the Order would
admit him, and has been a regular member of

1.-THE OLD BOOK KEEPER" >"

BY GEORGE COOPER.
It was an ancient book-keeper,
And he was tall and slim,
Though his face was mild, he rarely smiled,
His clothes were dark and prim;
And everything about his desk
He kept exceeding trim.
He always hung his hat and coat
Upon the selfsame hooks,
And laid his ruler, pen, and nE
In their respective noOks
And the only exercise he had
Was footing up his books.
Each day, upon the selfsame hour,
He took his lofty seat,
And bent his body and his mind
His labOrs to complete;
And blots were neither on his fame
Nor on his ledger sheet
The music of his pen was heard
From morn till eventide;
I'm columns vast his eyes were cast,
Then down again with pride;
Quite pleased was he, though he saw his work
Increased and multiplied.
The cash that o'er his fingers came
Each day was something grand;
And yet no schemes to bear it Off
By him were ever planned;
Although you saw with half an eye
That he wrote a "sloping' hand.
He had no wife, he made no friends,
His Joys and cares were few
And his dearest hope from day to day
Was to keep his balance true;
good world this, if every man
The latter thing would do.
He never sighed when little ills
His way of life would cross;
And o'er the errors of his youth
He showed no vain remorse;
But set down all that came along
To profit or to loss.
One day the creditor of all
Dropped in for his amount;
He found the old man at his post,
Though low ran Natures fount;
The books were closed, and he was borne
Up to his last account.
