Christian associations and unions and

There is no greater want in these days,
in all the households ofNcw England, than
evenings ut home. Wehaye lamented the
loss Of the old fashioned fireplace, with
its cheerful wood fire roaring up the CHM

A Western paper says that at one Of the
churches, night or two since, after q
season of prayer, the parson diversified
the exercises with an exhortation, in the
course of which he waxed eloquent, and
drew tears from the eyes of some of the
members by the earnestness of his re-
marks. Finally he eliminated with the
sentence, "Methinks hear an angel whis-
per-" The preacher would probably have
communicated to the audience the subject
of the angels whisper, but at this moment
a strong-lunged jackass in the immediate
neighborhoOd opened out with n musical
hee-haw, the rising and falling infection,
of which might have been heard within a
radius of ten squares. The congregation
snieckred audibly, and the ghost Of a
smile played over the amiable counte-
nance Of the preacher. All seemed to
unite in the opinion that for whisper, II

LIGHTNING RoDs.-A paper was read
Mt the late convention of scientific gentle
men, in Salem, which took tho ground
that lightning rods were utterly useless
rs preventive Of lightning stroke, and
that in fact they often serve to attract the
fluid and thus increase the risk. Our cit
liens generally agree with this opinion,
for tho reason that In some twenty cases
where buildings have been damaged by
lightning in Danielsonville in the last
ten years, only one building was unpro-
vided with these tightening rods. We
think the lightning rod companies better

An event will occur in 1872 which
will be of nearly as much scientific
importance, as well as OF interest to
astronomers, as the great eclipse Of
Saturday last. We shall then see the
transit of the planet Venus across the
SUMS disc. This event occurs period
ically, at alternating intervals of re-
markable irreeulaiity, the periods be-
ing eight and one half and 1921 years.
After 1872 the transit will be again
visible in 1880, POOP, 20II and 2I33,
and so on, beyond the ken OF even the
youngest inhabitant now on ee.th.-
This transit will be observed with
peculiar interest, since its conditions
will aid in the clucidation OF several
questions, among others that of the
exact distance OF our earth from the
sun. The last transit was seen in
1850.
