A PRETTY INCIDENTAL very pretty in
cident Is related Of 4 canary bird BY d
Georgia paper. The door Of the birds
cage was occasionally left open that he
might enjoy the freedom ofthe room. One
day he happened to light on the mantle
shelf whcreupon was a mirror. Here was
a new discovery OF the most profound in
terest. He gazed long and curiously al
himself, and came to the conclusion, that
he had found a mate. Going back to his
cage he selected seed from its box and
brought it in his bin as an offering to the
stranger. In vain the canary exerted him.
self to make his new found friend partake,
and becoming weary of that tried another
tack. Stepping back few inches from
the glass, he poured forth his sweetest
notes, pausing now and then for a reply
None came, and moody and Disguised, he
flew back to his perch, hanging his head
in shame and silence for the rest ofthe day
and although the door was repeatedly
opened, he refused to come out again.

Great Poison Factory.

At Patna is one ofthe two great opium
factories of India. It is the greater of the
two, and may, therefore, be safely styled
the largest poisoning agency in the world.
The establishment faces the river Ganges,
whose bed is here four miles across-at this
season desert of caked mud, with the
river far away on the other side ofthe waste.
The opium is shipped to Calcutta in q
steamer, and it is good instance of the
fickleness of Indian rivers-those plaques
of engneers-that last year, and for many
years before, the sacred stream ran so close
to Patna, that wharves were erected from
which the chests could be put right on the
steamers, and on which the timber where
with to make the years chests could be
landed.
This year the Gangcs has retired, and
the chests have to be carried a mile or so
before being shipped, and that can only be
done by small boats, all at considerable ex-
pense.
This opium packing for 1867 was just
over at Christmas, and nearly $4,000 chests
of China opium had been sent down to
Calcutta, worth about e4,0o0,000. Each
chest contains forty cakes. The dark sticky
stuff, ingeniously enclosed in coating Of
dried poppy leaves, so that each cake
weighing about two pounds) presents the
appearance of Dutch cheese or cannon
ball 1t has given rise to the saying that
in war the British gave the Chinese cannon
balls of iron, and in peace cannon balls of
opium, thus giving them the choice of be-
ing shot or poisoned, and making them
pay smartly for either attention. In return
for this they feed us with tea and clothe us
in silk, which seems to show truly celes-
tial spirit London Paper.

AN EDITOR IN A NEW SuIT.-Mr. Clark,
editor of the Kendall Ql) Clarion, is man
who loves good joke, and never lets an
opportunity slip that promises dish of
fun. HeIe is one of his last:
Disguised-We have lately got new
suit of clothes, and no man could be more
effectually disguised. We look like gen.
tleman. Upon first putting it on we felt
like cat in strange garnet, and for
long time thought we were snapped off.
We went to the house and scared the
baby almost into fits; wife asked if we
wanted to see Mr.. Clark, and said he was
at the Office; went there and pretty soon
man came in with strip of paper in his
hand. He asked if the editor was in; told
him we thought not asked him if he wish
ed to see him particularly; said he wanted
him to pay that bill; told him we didn't
believe he'd be in;. business man left. We
started to the house again; met couple of
young ladies; one Of Them asked the other,
"what handsome stranger is that9" In our
dilemma we met a friend and told him who
we were, and got him to introduce us to
our wife, who is now as proud of us as she
can be. -''i-

THE Two VoIcEs.-When Gutenberg,
the first printer, was working in his cell in
the monastery Of st. Abersgot, he tells us
that he heard two voices address him.
The one bade him desist told him the
power his invention would put into the
hands of bad men to propagate their wick
edness; told him how men would profane
the art he had created, and how posterity
would have cause to curse the man who
gave it to the world. So impressed was
Gutenberg with what he heard, that he
took hammer and broke to pieces the types
he had so laboriously put together. His
work of destruction was only stayed by an
other voice, sweet and musical, that fell on
his ear, telling him to go on and rejoice in
his work: that all good might be made the
cause of evil, but that God would bless the
right in the end So to all of us still.come
those voices that came to Gutenberg; the
one calling US to work while it is called to-
day, to try to leave this world better than
we found it; and the other tempting us to
give over, and take our ease, to leave the
plough in mid-furrow, and to rest on our
oars when we should be pulling against the
stream.

Pins.
A correspondent of the New York Post
thus describes pin making Hli

A correspondent of the New York Po,
thus describes pin making:
The pin machine is one of the closest or
proaches that machines have made to til
dexterity of the human hand. A sma
machine about the height and size of 10
dys sewing machine, only stronger, stand
before you. On the back side a light bel
descends from the long shaft at the ceilin,
that drives all the machines, ranged il
rows, on the floor. On the left side of GU
machine hangs on peg small reel o
wire, that has been Strengthened by runnin,
through compound system of small roll
ers
This wire descends and the end of it en-
tiers the machine. This is the food con
sumed by this snappish, voracious little
dwarf. He pulls it la and bites it off b,
inches, necessarily, one hundred and forty
bites to minute Just as he seizes each
bite, saucy little hammer with concaye
face, hits the end of the wire three taps and
''upsets' it to head, while he grips in il
a counter sunk hole between his teeth
With an outward thrust of his tongue he
then lays the pin sideways in little groove
across the rim of small wheel that slowly
revolves just under his nose. BY the ex-
ternal pressure ola stationary hoop these
pins roll in their places, as they are car
ried Under two series of small files, three in
each. These files grow finer towards the
end of the series. They lie at a slight in
clination on the point of the pins, and by
series of cams, levers and springs, are made
to play "like lightning" Thus the pins
are pointed and dropped in little shower
into little box. Twenty-eipht noi,nds of
pins is days work for one of these jerk
ing little automatons Forty machines on
this floor make five hundred and sixty
pounds daily. These are then polished
Two very intelligent machines reject eve
ry crooked pin, even the slightest irregu-
larity of form being detected.
Another automaton asserts half dozen
lengths in as many different boxes, all at
once and unerringly, when careless ope-
rator has mixed the contents of boxes from
various machines Lastly perfect genius
of a machine hangs the pins by the head in
an inclined platform through as many
"slots" as there are pins in a row on the
the papers. These slots converge into the
exact space spanning the length of row.
Under them runs the strip of thin paper
A handlike part ofthe machine catches
one pin from each of the slots as it falls,
and by one movement sticks them all
through two corrugated ridges in the pa
per, from which they are to be picked by
fingers in boudoirs, and all sorts of human
fingers in all sorts of human circumstances.
Thus you have its genesis
"Tall and slender. straight and thin.
Pretty, little, useful pin"

The Use or the sareat Py,. =,

For several thousand years the object for
which the Great Pyramid was construc-
ted was mystery to the whole world. and
most of the learned savans have exhausted
surmise and speculation in their fruitless
efforts to solve the riddle. A few years ago
a gentleman in London, a Mr. Thomas
Maylor, conceived the idea that the struc-
ture was inspired by Divine Proyiderce to
afford the Egyptians standard for their
weights and measures. This theory found
but few preselytes among the scientific
men In Europe; but fancied and far fetched
as tits, has found an advocate on this side
of the water in the person of Prof Eaton,
of New York. rs,7J 7i55t ys7 1.ss3 Il
In support Of this view he said that the
Pyramid was perfectly symmetrical, with
five sides and five angles. 1t was original
Iy 762 feet on each side, and is now the
highest and largest building erected BY
man. Sir Isaac Newton had devoted his
time in Analysing the ancient cubit, and
came to the conclusion that it was rs inches
and little more. The circle which forms
the correlative to the Pyramid consists of
S659 Of these cubits. thus corresponding to
the year. s.oasa ;rgs y -hna Bo2lbe
The Pyramid was made plane to the
meridian, without hieroglyhies or secret in
scriptions, as all burial places of antiquity
did have, which are found everywhere else.
The box which was found in the centre of
the body has been commonly supposed to
be sarcophagus, but there is no appear
ance to bear this theory out. No process.

found near at hand, and indeed not closer
than Mount Sinai. The structure seems to
be built on the most correct principles of
geometry. It concludes in pointing with
the north star, or that star which, in the
procession Of the equinoxes,4 900 years ago,
was the north star. Prof Eaton then pro-
ceeded to show that the temperatures of
the central room was uniform throughout,
thus affording place for keeping weights
and measures; that the box affords an ex-.
act liquid measure; that water was found
in the Pyramid itself thus giving pure ma
terial for careful examination; that the
opening in the Pyramid looked out on the
lower elimination of the north star ut the
time of its erection, and not the upper, be- !,
cause the Pleiades would interfere with this
view; and that it is on the exact spot for
the purpose of taking astronomical obser-
yations. asi14 G.ff.T gI j.

eB- Bayard Taylor says: Some of the
finest church choirs in Berlin, Dresden,
Potsdam and Halle, consisted chiefly of
boys. One thing is little peculiar--I
have not yet seen lady in church choir.
The mystery is how the music master
manages to get so much and such variety
OF music out of such unmusical looking
heads, yet he does, and it is not all sound
simply, but harmony of the sweetest kind,
thrilling, rapturous music. And what is
more marvellous those boys voices initiate
the most cultivated tonss of the female
voice, giving all parts in sweet unison. ]
have seen choirs from forty to one hundred
boys and behind them huge organ, and
when the singing service is commenced
one is nearly lifted from his feet, as that
hundred-voiced youthful choir, accompan.
led by organ and congregation send forth
the anthem of praise.
