The WORLD OF WoNDER.-This world
of ours is filled with wonders. The micro

In the insect creation particularly, there is
SO much to know that has never been
dreamed of-wheels within wheels without
computation of number. Let US take a
rapid glance at the proofs Of this statement.
The polypus, it is said, like tabled hydra,
receives, new life from the knife which is
lifted to destroy'it. The fly spider lays an
egg as large as itself. There are four
thousand and fortY-one muscles in the
caterpllIer. Hooke discovered fourteen
thousand mirrors in the eye ola drone and
to effect the respiration Of carp, thirteen
thousand three hundred arteries, vessels,
veins, bones, &C., are necessary. The body
of every spider contains four little masses
pierced with a multitude of imperceptible
holes, each hole permitting the passage of
a single thread; all the threads, to the
amount of thousand to each mass, join
together when they came out, and make
the single thread with Which the spider
spins its web so that what we call a
spiders thread consists Of more than four
Thousand united. Leuwhenock, by meaus.

death lies upon her like an untimely
frost upon the sweetest flower of the
field"
Tie subject Of this notice was as
sweet a bud of promise as was ever
gathered by a Saviour's hands from
this terrestrial garden. Loaned by her
Heavenly Father for short time to
eathly harvests, she was such q
source of joy to them, and so ehtwincd
herself around their affections; that the
sunderfng of the tie by death; has we'll
nigh broken their hearts.
All who knew her, loved little "Su-
gar" To her parents she was ever
dutiful and obedient; to her younger
sister she was ever gentle, oonsiderate
and kind, guiding her by precept and
examples. Her care and attention to
all younger than herself was truly re-
markablo, and in her conduct and in
tercourse with them. she displayed q
thoughtfulness beyond her years. Her
reverence and respect for her elders,
commanded even q return of sentiment
from those who came in contact witl
her. ''' -
She was totally destitute Of selfish
ness, and was ever ready and willing
to make any sacrifice Of personal
pleasure or comfortfto secure the same
happinessto others. ~. ~ s.tif sis.isf
Young as she was, she was devoted
little christian, and loved to dwell III
her thoughts, on Heaven, always cheer
fully contemplating its happiness.
She was too pure for this world and
God wisely took her home. Truly our
loss was her gain.
May this thought carry consolation
to the hearts of the bereased parents
and those who loved her here. &C..

| The BEST OF THE AReUMENTs.-AsI wa,
travelling in the East, the other day,
heard dispute going on between two mel
in the railroad car. One Of them had /,
big, burly, voice. I was little modest
and When I heard the dispute going on
did not look back bat do not see on th,
stand man big enough to own such
voice. He wasla Republican, and had los
his temper. The. other man had wea
zened, squeaking voice that might have be
longed to girl. The subject of the con
vention at New York came under discus
sion. I heard the big voice say-if the
ladies will excuse me, I will use the very
language that he did, though it is not very
fit for ears polite, and was shocked that
a Puritan New Englander should use such
language in public:
"Every rebel at the South will vote 70,
Seymour and Blair" 4 jIsg
"Well." says the little fellow, 81 wish
they would it is the first sensible thing
know of their doing in ten years." = .:
That only made our Republican friends
q little more angry, and he said:
Every d--d thief In the country
will vote for Seymour and Blair" Laugh.
ter; and cries of Butler" There is no
telling what Butler will do ifhe sees we are
going to win: Laughter.l The little fel.
low answered: ~ -
x hope they will (; it will only show
that they have stolen enough while they
were members of the Republican party
and that shey are now come TO repentance
and o better heart"
Says the other: "South Carolina will
vote for Seymour and Blair"
"Well," says the little fellow, "South
Carolina is getting along very well if you
will only let her alone. My experience in
life has always been that. it is easier to
coax dog with a beef steak than to en-
tice him with stick" Z
I concluded that my little Democratic
friend had got the better Of that argument,
and had answered satisfactorily alT the
talk we hear about war. and about the
rebels we have in the Democratic patty
Instead Of being sorry that they are there,

The Moon and the Weather.

At the meeting Of the Scientific Con.
gress in Chicago. Prof. Looms presented
paper on this subject. He stated that
from comparison of tweDty-eight years
Of observation in Germany, Schdbler de-
duced a sensible influence of the moon,
the number of rainy days at the time OF
the second octaht being twenty FIVE per
cent. greater than at the time of the fourth
octant. From d comparison OF observa-
ton, made ut Paris, Orange, and Carlsruhe,
Gasparin arrived at results not differing
greatly from those Of Schubler. By a
comparison of sixteen years of observation
at Greenwich, nine years at Oxford, and
sixteen years at Berlin, Mr.. Harrison of
England, hos obtained results which are
remarkably consistent with each other, and
which indicate that the moon exerts an ap-
appreciable influence upon terrestrial tenn
peratare, the maximum occurring six or
seven days after new moon, and the mini
mum about four days after full. The diff
ference between the maximum near the
last quarter is two and half degrees of
Fahrenheit.
These results, which are 80 different
from what might be anticipated, Mr.. Har-
rison explains by supposing that the moon
really attains its greatest heat the last
quarter, but that the heat which the moon
radiates to the earth 10 entirely dark heat,
and therefore absorbed by our atmosphere.
The heat raises the temperature of the air
above the clouds, causing increased evapo.
ration from their surface, by which they
are dispersed, and thus there is 40 ;ncreas-
ed radiation Of terrestrial heat to the sky,
and consequently diminution 10 the TEN.
perature Of the air near the ground He
supposes that opposite results must occur
at the period Of minimum heat in the noon.
In order to compare the influence of the
moon with that of the sun, he had taken
the average cloudiness of Greenwich, a. in.
dlcated by observations made every two
hours for period Of seven years, and the
table shows-the greatest cloudiness due
to the moons influence occurs about the
time of the greatest heat that is, near the
third quarter, and the minimum follows
about week after the maximum, or about
one-fourth the time Of the moons rotation
This disturbance Of the vapor of our at.
mosphere gives rise to storms, during
which vapor is precipitated, and vast
amoont Of latent heat is liberated. The
motion Of these storms over the earth'i
surface is Influenced by local causes, such
as latitude, proximity to mountains or the
ocean. 't'eo1 - 35''
The result The Professor found in the
statement that the moon does influence
the atmospheric phenomena in an appreci
able manner; but, in ordinary parlance
the influence being 50 small, it may be said
that there is no influence of the moor
upon the weather.-(Prairie Farmer.
