THERE are many different ways of get
ting on in the world; it does not always
mean making great deal of money, or
being a great man for the people to look
up to with wonder Leaving off bad
habit for good one is getting on in
the world; to be careful and saving
instead of thoughtless and wasteful is
getting on: to be active and industrious
instead of idle and lazy is getting
on; to be kind and forbearing in
stead of ill-natured and quarrelsome is
getting on; to work as diligently in the
masters absence as in his presence is get
ting on in short, when we see any one
properly attending to his duties, persever-
ing through such difficulties to gain such
knowledge as shall be of use to himself
and others, and offering a good example
to his relatives and acquaintances, we may
be sure that he is getting on in the world.
Money is very useful article in this
way, but it is possible to get on with
snail means, for it is mistake to suppose
that we must wait for good deal of
money before we can do anything. Perse-
verance is often better than full purse.
There are more helps toward getting on
than is commonly supposed; many peo-
pie lag behind or miss the way altogether.
because they do not see the abundant and
simple means which surround them at all
sides, and so it happens that there are
aids which cannot be bought with money.
Those who wish to get on in the world
must have stock of patience, of hopeful
confidence, willingness to learn, and a
disposition not easily cast down by diff
culties and disappointments.-E -Erc6ange.

Size Of the Stars.

How LARGE are the stars, and are they
alike, or do they differ in size? 1t used to
be conjectured that they are of somewhat
similar magnitude, presumably about as
great as our sun, and that the differences
of apparent size are due to differences of
distance but W hen astronomers came to
discover that some of the smaller stars are
nearest to our system, this idea fell to the
ground. A German computor has now,
however, calculated the actual dimensions
of one particular star, and finds that its
mass is rather mors than three times that
of the sum- The star in question is less
than the fourth magnitude-a compare
lively small one What, then, must be
the size. of the Sirius and Aldebaran class !?
The reason of its selection for this det er-
mination'was, that it is one of the compo-
nents of what is called binary system-two
stars revolving about each other like the
sun and planet-and the motions of the
members of such system afford data for
the computation. The stars distance from
us is million and quarter times that of
the earth from the sun, so that light takes
twenty years to travel hither from it,

PHILADELPHIA, February -, 1856.
DEAR CHILD condsle with you. We
have lost q most dear and valuable rela-
ton, but it is the will of God and Nature
that these mortal bodies be laid aside
when the soul is to enter into real life. Ex-
isting here on earth Is scarcely to be called
life. 'Tis rather an embryo state-a prepar-
alton to living, and man is not completely
born until he is dead. Why, then, should
we grieve that new child is born among
the immortals-a new member added TO
their society? We are spirits. That
bodies should be lent to us while they can
afford US pleasure, assist us in acquiring
knowledge, or In doing good TO our fellow

creatures, is kind and benevolent act of
God. When they become unfit for their
purposes, and afford us pain instead
of pleasure, instead of an aid be-
come an incumbrance, and answer none
Of the Intentions for which they were
given, it is equally kind and benevolent
that way is provided by which we may
get rid of them, That way is death. We
ourselves. prudently in some cases. choose
a partial death. A mangled, painful limb,
which cannot be restored, we willingly cut
off. He that plucks out a tooth parts with
it freely, since the pain goes with it, and
he that quits the whole body parts with
all the pains and possibility of pains and
diseases it was liable to or capable of max
ing him suffer- Our friend and we are
invited abroad on party of pleasure that
is to last forever. His chairs was first
ready, and he has gone before us. We
could not conveniently all start together,
and why should you and be grieved at
this, since we are soon to follow, and we
know where to find him?
Adieu, my dear, good child, and believe
that shall be, in every state, your affec-
tionate papa. BENZ. FRANKLIN.
