From the Scientific American!
THE FINAL FATE OF THE UNIVERSE.

If two bodies were placed in
space without any force acting
upon each other than their own
gravity, they would Immediately
start toward each other, and would
rush together. The sun and
planets, which constitute the stel-
lar system, to which our solar
system belongs, are prevented
from running together into one
mass by their revolutions about
each other. The revolutions Of
the planets around our sun, and
of the satellites about their prlma
ries, have been asccrtaincd, with
that Wonderful precision which is
the just pride Of astronomical
science. and astronomers are now
engaged in the sublime problem Of
unravcIling the revolutions Of the
countless suns that make up our
stellar system. Already the cluster
of the Plciadcs is indicated as the
proximatc locality Of the centre
around which our sun, with his
attendant planets, is sweeping his
vast orbit; and it is suggested
that it is probably the common
centre of the orbits Of all the suns
of our stellar system.
If the force Of gravity extends
across the inconceivabIe spaces
which separate the several stellar
systems Of the universe, those
systems must rush together unless
they are held apart by revolutions
around each other.

BENEFITS OF SUNsHINE.-Seclu-
clusion from sunshine is one ofthe
misfortuncs, Of our civilized life.
The same cause which makes po-
tatoe vines white and sickly, when
grown in the dark cellars, operates
to produce the pale, sickly girls
that are reared in our parlers.-
Expose either to the rays Of the
sun, and they begin to show col

the ables, lawyers in our country,
victim Of long and hard brain
labor, came to me year ago suf-
tcring from partial paralysis. The
right leg and hip were reduced in
size, with constant pain in the
loins. He was Obliged, in coming
up stairs, to raise the left foot
first dragging the right one after
it. Pale, feeble, miserable, he told
me he had been failing for several
years and closed with, Ny work
is done. At sixty I find myself
worn out" I directed him to lie
down under a large window, and
allow the sun to fall upon every
part Of his body; first ten minutes
a day, increasing the time until
he could expose himself to the di-
rect rays Of the sun a full hour,
His habits were not essentially
altered in any other particular.
In six months he came running
up stairs like a vigorous man of
forty, and declared, with spark

years work in me-" Ihave assis-

VINO CAN ANSWER Ir.-Th6
following novel question, has been
submitted to us for publication:
Suppose man and a girl were to
get married ); the man thirty-ive
years old and the girl five years;
this makes the man seven times
as old as the girl, and they live
together until the girl is ten years
old, this makes. the man forty
years old: and four times as old
as the girl and if they still live to-
gether until she is fifteen, the man
would be forty-fve; this makes
the man three times as old, and if
they still live On till the girl IS
thirty years old, this makes the
man sixty, only twice as old, and
so on. Now, how long would
they have to live to make the
girl as old as the man, at the same
rate of reasoning ?-At!anta MteM.

Here, then, was most unplcas-
ant state Of affairs. There were
two parties united for life, who
seemed destined to live at vari-
ance. There was to be contention,
and yet very prccarious support.
The "dinncr Of herbs' was proba-
bly, to be there; but the "love," E"
which alone could render it palata-
bic, was to be absent. There was,
however, 10 help for it, and how
socver disagrccable, it must be en-
durcd. They thought Of separa-
ration, but soon abandoned the
idea; for, although unhappy TO-
gcther, they had, strange to say,
no earnest desire to part. At
length, after many disappoint-
ments, employment was procured
for Edward Spencer through the
fundamentally Of his friends, and
they entered upon a new life.
many priyations they had to en-
dure; and many struggles to under
90. The tempter which could not
brook ontradiction, was now sub
iectcd to restraint ; and the pride
that forbade the admission Of er-
ror. Of the acknowledgment of a
pang, sank under the weight of
comparative poverty; and tie con-
sequent neglect Of friends. The
result was, Caroline and Edward
Spencer were both humbled; and
when their humility became an
active Quality-which it did so
soon as the novelty Of their Stu
alton wore off-they led a happier
life. Industry and frugality at
length crowned their efforts, and
they were enabled once mere to
move in a respectable sphere offs
ciety. 1t was in the same room,
and about the same spot, that some
short time after this favorable re-
verse Of their fortunes, they were
again found indulging in reminis-
cence Of the past.
"Does it not seem strange" said
Edward. "that so trifing a circum-
stance as your supposing that I
was once jealous Of young Morris
should have led to our misfor-
tune ?"
"No, my DEAR" replied his wife,
1T was not that circumstance, but
my foolishly insisting upon the
matter after I saw that you were
annoyed at it,"
"But then, how silly ofme to be
annoyed at such q trihe."
"Oh, how I wcpt the first even
ing you quilted me-"
"And I to have supposed that
YOU cared not whether l were Of
Tended ornot."

line, Il had then too much pride"

THE CASE OF KENTUCKY.

The Louisville Courier says; The
question of the propriety and the neces-
sity of putting Kentucky under military
rule and bringing her under the opera
ton of the reconstruction scheme of the
Radicals is exciting considerable discus
sion, and the extremists of the Radical
party are very unanimous on the SUBJ
iect. They regard it as a necessity, and
insist that it shall be done. The only
difficulty in the way is the apprehension
that the Northern masses might take the
alarm and abandon the Radical party in
disgust and indignation. For if one sover-
eign State, which has never been out ofthe
Union, which was true to it through the
long and bloody struggle for Southern
independence, and which furnished as
many troops for the Federal cause in
proportion to its population as any other
State, can be THUS outraged, what safety
is there in the other States Of the Union
The absurd plea that the people of Ken
lucky are still disloyal ard rebellious
will not satisfy public sentiment, and the
Jacobins know it. They will therefore
hesitate before they attempt to demolish
a State of the Union and reduce it to q
military dependency Their fears, not
their wishes. will control them.

so, from what point they come. Writing
in the dark, we can afford to say that we

THE LEAGUERs LAsHED.

The Albany EUening Journal thus
gives it to the John Jays, George Blounts,
and other "blockheads" of Union Square:
"This pompous and arrogant club has
constituted itself the High Critic, whose
Office it is assumed to be to pronounce
upon the character and motives of pub.
lie men. Its career has been signalized
by most remarkable series of oficious
intermeddling, grstuitOus advice, and
impudent denunciations. Senators and
Assemblymen, Governors and Congress
men, public orators and political men Of
every degree have by turns been passed
through the crucible Of its infallible
judgment. And it was never SO AFRO
CANT, never so unjust never so ridicu-
lous, that it found in the Tribune q
ready advocate for its great assumptions,
and a bitter assailant of all whom it
denounced. It'is, withal, a little salts
factory, therefore, to find that Horace
Greeley has himself come within the ban
of suspects, and that the Committee
of Safety has been directed to hold in.

WHAT is OUR RRcoRDl

Ifany one has inferred from anything
that we have written that we do not
approve the objects for which all our
recent fairs we're held, they have read us
TO little purpose. We are an advocate
for, not one, but every charity, from
oruaInenting a church with Brussel
CARPETS and velvet cushioned pews, to
feeding and clothing the hungry and
naked people of the South. That is our
platform; and we have further to say
that this paper, if called upon to select
either of these objects as most Christian
and most civilized to the exclusion of
the other, it would plead with whatever
potentially of voice it could command,
for the latter. We have said that we
have contributed many thousands to
objects of benevolence and charity. We
have said that we have contributed little
TO the greatest charity that ever appealed,
or can ever appeal to humanity. We
have said, and say again, that we have
neglected to do that for our furnishing
neighbors, which we have the ability to
do. The inference is irresistible that,
having the ability, we lacked the dispo-
sition.
And here, we wish to make solitary
inquiry, and request an answer. Has
any clergyman of this city, of any de-
nomination, preached sermon on the
duty Of our people and of the church to
send succor to the starving people of the
Southern States We do not charge
that no such sermon has been preached.
We only ask for information. The very
foundation stone of every church is
charity. That organization which is not
based upon this principle, and does not
practice it, is unfit to be named church,
aud is unworthy of the confidence Of the
people. Abstract theology is all right
and proper Elegant sermons, with all
the is dotted and all the is crossed, are
highly captivating, feed the mind and
ooduette with the fancy but they do not
invade the sorrowfnl haunts of poverty,
nor bring tinge of returning vitality to
the cheeks made pale and hollow by
famine. We do not wish TO be under
stood to attack the church for anything
it has done. We only ask it to do that
which il has neglected. We do not ask
it to sacrifice a solitary article of its
creed. We only ask It to exhibit the
fruits of the tree watered and nurtured
here by the generous contributions of
liberal public. We ask the great public,
the money holders, the men who have
grown rich on the trade of the pale,
gaunt forms of the South, to review the
past, recognize the present, and then
say, each one from the fullness of a heart
that God has given him. if he has done
his duty. Finally: unless the city Of
Memphis shall bestir herself in this mat
ter, she will deserve to shrink and
shrivel into the dimensions of lean and
hungry village.

Indifference prevails among the masses
of the people on the subject of politics /;
aud from all accounts, similar apathy
prevails throughout the State. While,
on the one hand, we might depreeate
anything like political excitement under

there is danger to be apprehended from
a complete insensibility to political af-
fairs. Registration has already com
