DISCOVERIES OF THE MICROSCOPE.
Lewen Beck tells us of insects, seen
with the microscope, of which TWEEN
ty-seven millions would only equal a
mite Insects of various kinds may
be seen in the cavities of common
grain of sand. Mold is a forest of
beautiful trees, with the branches,
leaves, flowers and fruit. Butterflies
are fully feathered Hairs are holl-
ow tubes The surface of our bodies
is covered with scales like fish
single grain of sand would cover one
hundred and fifty OF these scales, and
single scale covers five hundred
pores; yet through these narrow OPP
enings the sweat forces itself out
like water through a sieve. Each
drop of stagnant water contains a
world of animated beings, swimming
with as much liberty as whales in
the sea Each leaf has colony OF
insects grazing on it like oxen in a
meadow.

WISE PERSONAL CHARITY Besides
the Orphanage of George Muller at
Bristol, England has another remark
able philanthropist. Josiah Mason.
of Birmingham, esta blished an or
phanage in 1853 for the reception Of
fifty children, maintained wholly at
his own expense. He subsequently
assigned these premises for aims
houses for twenty-six widows or
single women, and built larger or
phanage to contain two hundred boys
and one hundred girls. After ex-
pending ego, 1000, above a million Of
our money, he has turned the whole
over to trustees. The children are
to be carefully instructed in the
knowledge Of the Holy Scriptures,
and to be trained up as simple and
sincere followers Of the Lord Jesus
Christ, but all sectarian teaching is
prohibited. When they leave the or
phanage each receives Bible and an
outfit of clothing.

How Wealth is Acquired.

The Manchester Guardian of Oct.
80, 1869, says: How wealth is ac-
CURED will probably be an interest
ing study to the majority of mankind
to the end of the chapter. In the o..
5. the inquiry is not deemed incom-
patlble with the keenest pursuit of
politics. We gather from the New
York journals that in an election
campaign such as is now in progress
IN the Union, candidates are afforded
an opportunity of informing their
teilow-country men how they have
managed TO amass their piles of gold
and silver. The veteran Vanderbilt
we perceive, does not shy at the sub
ject, as, indeed, why should he P
There is no secret about 1t, he OBJ
serves "all you have to do is to at
tend to your business and go ahead
except one thing, and that is, new
er tell what you are going to do till
you have done it," Then we are in
PRODUCED withawt ceremony to "Geo.
Law" "who is tolerably rich man,
though not, we suppose, quite as
rich as Vanderbilt or Asa Parker"
MIR. Law says emphatically, "There
is nothing so easy as making money
when you have money to make it
with; the only thing is to see the
crisis and take it at the flood" AS
Shakespeare was of the same opinion
we may accept the thing as settled.
Side by side with these deliverances
we have that of "a. L. Stewart, who
is richer than either, and consequent
~ Il greater authority. He inform
ed IAN anxious inquirer" that he
considered honesty and truth great
aids in gaining of tortane" As so
many people nowadays seem to for
get this maxim, it would be we'll if
they could always carry it about
with them-and act upon it. The
same journal in which these pithy
utterances appear gives an account
OF two brothers who went into re
mote part vi Iowa fifteen years ago
taking. with them "less than five dol
lars each" They went, however,
to work, and they have "made" a
quarter of a million of dollars. This
leads the writer to remark that the
man who tells you be "can't"hew a
farm out Of the wild West because
he has no money lis not the man to
do it with ever so good start. -
What would suit him is an office in
which there is much to get and little
to do. This is exactly what would
suit a good many osher people.
