TEE OLD TURNPIKE.

We hear no more the Changing hoor,
And the stage-c0ach rattling BY,
For the steam King rules the travelled world,
Aud the old pixies left to die
The grass ercep4 DER the linty path
And the stcalthy daisies steal
Whore unce the ftagc-hOrse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
30 more the weary stlg0r breads
The toll Of the coming morn;
20 more the hustling landlord runs
a the sound OF the cchoing horn
For the dust lies still upon the road,
And bright-cyed children play
Where once the Gathering houf and wheel
Ratified along tho way.
No moro we hear the cracking whip.
And the strong wheels rambling sound;
But ala the water drives US On,
And an irou-horse is found
The coach stands ruslng Va the yard
The horse has sought the plough;
We have spanncd the world with an iron rail
And tic steam king rule us now
Tho old turnpike is pike no more,
Wide open stands the gate
We have made a road for our horse to stride
And we ride at flying rate.
We have filled the valleys and levellcd the hills,
And tunnelled the mountains side,
Aud round the rough crag's dizzy verge
Frarlcssly now We ride.
un-an-on-with naughty front
A pul, shrek aud bound
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To echo back the sound
And the old pike road is left alone,
Aud the stagcrs seek tho plough,

And the steam king rules US now

All the celestial bodies have an appar-
ent motion from east to west, arising
from the rotation Of the earth; but
bodies belonging to the earth, including
the atmosphere and the clouds which
float IN IL, partake of the earth's rota-
tion, so that their relative position is
not Effected by it, The same is true Of
auroral exhibitions Whenever an au-
roral corona is formed, it maintains
sensibly the same position in the heav-
ems during the whole period of its CON
tinuance, although the stars meanwhile
revolvc at the rate Of Is degrees per
hour.
The grossar part Of the earth atmos-
phore Is limited TO moderate distance
from the earth At the height of a
little over four miles, the density of the
air is only one half what il is at the
earth : surface At the height Of 80
miles the atmosphere is well-nigh inap.
preciable in its effect upon twilight
The phenomena OF lunar eclipses iudi-
cate an uppreciable atmosphere at the
height Of &c miles The phenomena of
shooting stars indicate an atmosphere
at the height Of 200 or 800 miles, while
the aurora indicates that the atmosphere
does not entirely cease at the height of
$40 miles Auroral exhibitions take
place, therefore, in an atmosphere Of
extreme rarity; so rare indeed that if, in
experiments with an air-pump, We could
exhaust the air as completely, We should
say that we had obtained a perfect
/ vacuum.
The auroral beams are simply spaces
which are illumined by the flow Of
electricity through the upper regions OF
the atmosphere During the auroras
Of 1883 these beams were nearly sou
miles in length, aud their lower cxtrc
mites were elevated about 40 miles
above the earth's surface. Their tops
inclined toward the south, about II
degrees ia the ncighborhood Of New
York, this being the position which
the dipping needle there assumes.

Never make your appearance in the
morning without having first bathed. il
only with sponge aud aquart of water,
brushed and arranged your hair, and
dressed yourself neatly and completely
Keep your clothing, especially your
under clothing, in perfect order Never
let pins do duty as buttons, or strings
take the place o! proper bands.
Examine every garment when it comes
from the wash, and, it necessary, mend
it with neatness and precision. Do not
sew up the holes in your stockings, as
We have seen some careless, untidy girls
do, but take in broad margin around
the hole, be it small or large, with a
fine darning needle aud darning cotton,
aud cover the fracture with an iuterlaced
stitch, so close as to be strong as the
body of the stocking, and fine enough
to be ornamental.
Stockings meuded in this way need
darning but a very few times in the
course Of their existence,
