THE ORPHANS FESTIVAL. = Last
evening, the second night of the Fair
and Festival for tho benefit OF the or
phans under the care of the Sisters of
st. Joseph, was even more profitable
than the first. The attendance was
much larger, and the machinery was
in better working order. Tho tempera-
ture was better suited for the consump-
ton of the cooling ices and delicious
fruit which were SO abundant. On
account of most OF the articles
which were purchased last evening be-
ing allowed to remain upon the tables,
the variety appears but little dimin~
ished. The lotteries were in full oper~
pensive ones are rapidly being taken.
A quantity of beautiful flowers, the
donation of Mr.. HornbrOok, were the
subject of much notice. All who were
present seemed to enjoy the entertain
ment highly, rs we'll for its in
trinsic merit as for tho pleasure
of contributing to the object for
which it was originated. This evening
will close the Fair. Let everyone en-
brace this opportunity OF assisting in
the cause which is SO sacred to the
heart OF every christian in the land, by
being present on the closing night.
Come prepared and leave not single
article unpurchased, upon the tables.

CIRCUIT CoURT.-Both sessions of tho
Court, yesterday, were taken up with
the transaction of civil business. Moth
ing of special Importance to the public
was done. We hear that the Court will
probably adjourn tomorrow as Judge
Stua.t's engagements elsewhere are
such as to prevent him remaining here
longer period. We hear him spoken
ofhiEhly, notonly US citizen, but as a
Judge, and he has made himself warm
friends among his brethren OF the pro-
Gession. We believe this is the first
time he has ever presided in this Court.

BICYCLES ON THE FAIR GROUNDS
Some half dozen gentlemen, the own
ers of as many fleet and gallant bicy-
cles are having any amount of fun and
exercise these pleasant evenings, in
training their fiery steeds over the
course on the Fair Grounds. Some fast
time is made, although the track is not
yet in prime condition. When it be-
comes thoroughly compact it is thought
that even Dexter would have to stir
himself coming down the home stretch
to outstrip this latest invention for To-
comoIion. To lovers of sport and adj
mirrors OF these Heshless horses, a trip
to the Fair Grounds would be amply
compensated by witnessing their per-
formances on the track.

Location OF Heaven.

We clip the following from the New York
Scientific AmericGn, Of the 11th instant:
Theological writers have always been pug
zled to fix upon any very definite idea in
regard to the geOgraPhical-sO to speak
location Of heaven. The Christian faith as
sociates it as o final resting place for redeem
ed souls, and preachers have drawn from it
the lesson that revelation, for wise reasons,
had veied it in obscuriry. But science is
progressive. 1t digs deep into the bowels
Of the Garth, and scars away into the re-
gions o; infinite space, so that at last we
have philosopher sufficiently bold who un-
dertakes to remove the perplexity, and solve
all our doubts upon this most sublime sub
ject.
Instead OF being matter Of philisophic
and Christian speculation, we are now pro-
vided with q, scientific solution of the whole
difficulty by ID. Mortimer, NJ. d. (not d. d J
According TO his theory there is a vast globe
or world, far within, from the surrounding
photosphere Of ethereal fire, which all demo-
inmate the sun, which globe is estimated
TO be to be at leas, five hundred thousand
miles in diameter DR.. Mortimer states that
he has brought divine revelation to bear up
on this vast ceittral gioOe, "nu iS pialnly cOu-
WINGED that the globe thus discerned IS the
Heavenly Empire wherein the righteous from
this earth find their future home." Not con
tent TO have made the discovery Of the ex-
act locality Of " cur Heaven" the Doctor
has gone into q mathematical calculation OF
the number Of minutes it requires for the
spirits flight from earth to this celestial
abode, for all Of which Information doubling
and believing souls will forever thank the
learned doctor.

The Origin of Words.

Words have q natural, and derived or
secondary meaning, and often several mean
ing, each further from the natural meaning
than the preceding, until, finally, the true
! eral meaning of the word is entirely
lost.
One OF the most amusing and instructive
recreations may be found in tracing words
to their origin, and learning how they came
to mean what they do. OF course these is
scarcely any limit t. the number Of exam
pies that might be given. Bua, in order that
the pursuit shall be permanently interesting.
the reader must have some idea of few
fundamental principles of the language. No
great amount Of linguistic knowledge is ne
ceseary for this.
Nearly all the words have a natural mean
ing, derived from the meaning of the letters
that compose il. Those few that have en-
tirely lost their literal meaning may be
treated as curiosIties. Such are the fol-
lowing:
Meander-From the river Meander, in
Phrygia, which is noted from its winding
course.
Millinery SO called because FIST
imported from Milan.
Mesmerism-From Mesmer, German
physical, who originated the theory of ami
NAL magnetism.
Tantalze-From Tantalus, a king of an
cient Lydia, punished, according to Roman
mythology, Dy perpetuol hunger and thirst,
though boughs laden NTH delicious fruit
over bis head, and he stood water up to his
chin. Both the fruit and water receding
from his lips when he attempted to taste
them.
Bayonet-From Bay onne, the name Of the
city where they were first made.
Academy-From Academus, a public
grove where Plato taught. The grove is
said to have been named after a man of that
name, who gave 1t to the people of Athens as
a place for gymnastic exercises.
Hurra-This word is said to have origi-
mated among the Eastern nations, where it
was used a war-cry. Lhey believed that
ever6 man who died IN battle for his country
went to heaven. 1t is derived from the Scla
vonic word :" Hurrab,' which means I" To
Paradise"
Other words. have proper Specification
derived from so foreign language, as
Maxim-From the Latin word, maximum,
signifying the "greatest." A maxim is
something Of the greatest importance-worth
remembering.
Nail-(A measare.) The distance from
the second joint Of the finger to the end of
the nail.
Nails-(Six- penny, eight-penny, ten pen
ny, etc., At Sheffield, England, where i'm
mehse Quantities of nails were made, it was
formerly abe custom to sell 100 Of one kind
for fourpence, another for sixpence, etc.
Another class, like the last example, were
recently expressive In our language, but have
become less 80 BY change Of custom:
Mold Board-The part of the plow which

The Winter Of the Heart.

Let 1t never come upon you. Live so that
good angels may protect you from that
most terrible Of evIls-the " winter Of the
heart"
Let no chilling influences freeze up the
fountains OF sympathy and happiness in its
depths; no cold burden settle over its with
cred hopes like snow on the faded flowers,
no rude blasts Of discomfort moan and shrek
through Its desolated chambers.
Your path may lead you through trials
which for a time utterly impede yonr pro-
gress and shut out the very light Of heaYen
from your anxious gaze.
Penury may take the place of ease and
plenty your luxurious room NAV be ex-
changed for n single lowly home-the soft
couch for the lowly bed Of the poor. Sum
mer friends may forsake you, and the un-
plying world pass you without a word or
look of compassion.
You may be compelled to toll wearily
and steadily on, to en- rn a livelihood you
may encounter fraud and the base avarice
that would extort the last farthing, till you
well nigh turn in disgust from your fellow
men.
you to earth, and leave you in fearful dark
ness.
The noble manly boy, the sole hope of
your declining years may be taken from you
while your spirit ciings to him with tena-
city which even the shadow Of the tomb can
not wholly subdue.
But amid all these sorrows, do not come
to the conclusion that nobody was ever so
deeply afflicted as you are, and abandon ev-
cry anticipation Of pleasant days in the un-
known future.
Do not lose your faith in human excel
lence because your confidence has been
sometimes betrayed, nor believe that friend
ship Is only a delusion, and love a bright
phantom which gldes awOy from your
grasp.
Do not mink that YOU ass fated to be mis-
erable because you are disappointed in your
reasonable expectations, and bafied in your
pursuit.
Do hot declare that God has forsaxen
you when your way is hejged about with
thorns, or repine sinfully, when he calls
your dear ones to that land beyond the
grave.
Keep . holy trust in heaven through
every trial, and bear adversely with lorIi-
tade.

Comfort for Smokers.

To the familiar question, How does your
meerschaum color y ouI smoking friends
can now answer, sHealthfullv. In the
North american DIR. w. A Hammond, has
an elaborate article upon The Sanitary and
Physiological Relations Of Tobacco, lin which
be claims to consider the nicotine question
in the light Of both scientific principles and
Of personal experience. He takes the ground
that the moderate use of tobacco does not
cause any serious derangement Of the phisi-
cal organization, and that on the contrary,
such use does retard the destructive metam-
orphoiss of the titsues,' and enables an in-
dividual to save his bodily capital We
quote from the statements Of the result Of his
experiments, as follows
/. That tobacco does Dot materially affect
the excretion of carboDic acid through the
lungs.
2. That it less ems the amount Of adeque-
Gus vapor given 10 respiration.
8. That it diminishes the amount OF the
int estinal excretion.
A. That it lessons she quantity OF me
venal excretion, and the amount q lts urea
and chlorides.
5. That it increases Ihs amount OF Tree
acid, uric acid, and sulphuric and phos-
phoric acids eliminated through the kidneys
