WHAT IS TO BE DONE IN HEA7ES,-The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher rdieues the popular idea that the in
mates Of heaven do nothing bat stand around grea
white throne, with harps in their hands, and sing
psalms hr Beecher it seems to US, has the right Of
the matter. There is scriptaml ground for limit
ing the activities and empoynents of immortal beings
to monotonous physical exercise; and 1t is a wonder
that the absurdty of doing so had not been perceived
long ago 1t is much more sensible TO suppose that
people in the other lille enjoy social aid intellectual
delights, and have varying occupations, according
their respective capacities, similar to these which are
enjoyed by the good on earth, only more perfect in
quality and degree Death takes from us nothing but
the body of flesh and blood leaving the co sttuton
and requirements Of soul without radical change
Whatever therefore, above mere torporea! pleasures
rightfuy renders us happy here, will render US like
wise happy there; and TO man, however pious,
would like to spend his whole life on earth in singing,
it is not likely he will be compelled to do hereafter

THE RAINFALL. DURING THE

THE RAINFALL. DURING THE
GREAT STORM.-On the Sabbath
after the recent food, Rev. 7. X.
Clark of Mittenague preached II
sermon on the subject, In Which he
made the following estimate Of the
amount of rain which fell :7JHJfu
in this vicinity it was tribe over
eight inches (S.50) on a level. This
would make II, $50, 600 cubic feet OH
every square mile Of surface. A
cnbic foot of distilled water (ansl
rain water must be the same)weigils
62I pounds. Hence the weight Of
water that fell on every square milc
was l,16l, 900 pounds, or 5S0,SOO
tons! There are in New England IA
little over sixty five thousand t65,-
O3S) square miles. If now we allow
eight inches for onehalf of this,
and four for the remaining half, we
have the enormous amount Of 2S,
800, ,552, 800 tons for New England
alone. In order to get something
like correct idea of this immense
weight-for the figures alone will
not give it-suppose we divide 1t
into parts and compare it with some
smaller amounts with which we arr
familiar. y single railroad car
carries when fully loaded with any
heavy material,as coal, iron or grain,
ten tons. This is IA full load. To
move this amount of water by rail,
then, would require no less than
2,S3S,O S,O5J,2S0 cars. and these, close
~ Joined together, with no breaks
I for crossings, would cover track
17,170,032 miles in length that is,
IA single track extending more than
six times. or a road with six tracks,
completely around the globe. And
allowing twenty loaded cars to an
engine, it would require l4l ,G62, ,76l
engines to transport them.
Or, let this mass of waters be col
lected into a single channel, and We
should have n mighty river, one
quarter of a mile wide and twenty
feet deep, with perpendicular banks
(most rivers have very slopng
banks), six thousand and five hun
dred miles long; a river that would
extend more than a quarter round
the earth. II to this we add the
water that fell out of New England,
in all the eastern portion of the
middle States s-sa, four inches on d
level over New Jersey, Delaware,
ouo half of New Yorl, and Penn
sylvauia, and a part of Maryland
we should have another river OF the
same width and depth, ,four, Thousand
miles long; and the two together,
ten nthousandand five hundred miles
Were you to stand on the bank and
watch this vast flood as it rushed
past you, at the rate Of eight miles
an hour, YOU would have to stand
there more than fifty days watching
day and night, before all would have
passed ?

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured

hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free

injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
