Protective COlOrs and Resemblances
among Animals.

SOME very curious examples are given
by Mr.. Wallace, in his essays on 'Natural
Selection" of protective colors and re-
semblances among animals. He says
ain the tropics there are thousands of
species Of insects which rest during the
day clinging TO the bark of dead or fallen
trees; aud the greater portion of these
are delicately mottled with gray and
brown tints, which, though symmetrically
disposed and infinitely varied, yet blend
so completely with the usual coiors of the
bark, that at two or three feet distance
they are quite undistinguishable. In come
cases a species Is known to frequent only
one species of tree. This is the case with
the common South American long-horned
beetle, which is found only on rough
barked tree, called Tapiriba, on the ANA
zon. 1t is very abundant, but so exactly
does II resemble the bark in color and
rugosity, and so closely does il cling to
the branches, that until il moves il is alb
solutely invisible.
"Most of the tropical MantIde and Lo-
custide are OF the exact tint of the leaves
on which they habitually repose, and

Democratic Multiplication.

II has been charged that the State of
New York is now in the hands of the
Democratic party, by reason of gross
frauds upon the ballot-box in the chief
city of that State. There has been no
doubt, indeed, in the minds of intelligent
men, that the political crimes of the rul-
ing party in the greatest city of our coun-
try have been fearfully and wonderfully
gross and outrageous. That they have
been endured by the honest citizens of
the city, that Vigilance Committee has
not long since been formed by an indig-
nant populace, and the rascals sent whirl-
ing through neighboring Hell Gate to
where they belong, is wonder passing
strange to men of spirit in all other parts
of the country.
who think all that is said about New York
political sWindling and misgoVernment is
an abolition lie." Fortunately, there are
facts and figures which demonstrate the
truth of the charges made against De.
mocTacy with absolute conclusiveness.
Every one knows there are not so many
voters in any community as there are in
habftants. Women and children and un-
naturalized foreigners have no right to
vote. Many citizens having the right do
not exercise it. Hence the generally &C.
cepted rule is that in rural districts the
inhabitants exceed the voters bys about
five to one, and in large cities, where
there are many foreigners, about seven to
one.
If we apply this rule to New York city
we shall discover the singular nature of
Democratic multiplication. There was
a city election in New York, it will be
recollected, last May, which resulted in
greaYDemooratic triumph. Since then, the
census has been taken in many of the
districts, and it appears that in the strong
Democratic precincts there are more
voters than people, and in some four
times as many. The following table for
a number of the strong Democratic
districts shows the:vote in May, and the
total nOnnlaiinn al the nresnnf firnn :.

Laws of Muscular ExertiOn.

1t is found by Mr.. Stanley Jevons, from
actual experiment, that the most nsefu
effects of any exertion of the human frame
are obtained by what we at first view con
slider the least useful; and it is well that
these valuable facts should be made widely
known, because employers of labor desire
and use means to obtain an opposite result
For instance, master lighterman contracts
to unload vessel; he will tax the laborel
to carry to the utmost of his muscular pow
en- The result is, that more time is taken
II unloading the ship than would be taken
were the laborer permitted to carry less
weight. Experiment shows that a man
can carry OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES six times in
a given interval; but that the same person
can carry one-half of hundred-weight
twenty -four times nearly in the same in,
t.rval. 1t is thus proved that by reducing
the weight carried one-half, four times as
much work can be done. Experiments
were also tried with regard to throwing a
given weight certain distance, and NOV
ing weight in given time, and they boil
proved that the most profit was to be gain
ed by the use of the lighter weights. This
accords with what we ourselves have long
observed, that the "slow and steady win.
the race" just as the fable indicated 1000
years ago.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1870-10-15

no individual could be habitual drinker
of intoxicants without becoming physically
impaired and diseased.
The rum power seems to destroy every
vestige Of honor in the human breast.
The most gigantic frauds the world ever
knew are daily perpetrated by the liquor
traffic, by wicked authorizations, fraudulent
returns, elicit trade, and almost every
aDOmlnatlon known to modern diabolism
on earth. Some most fearful illustrations of
this point were presented. The whiskey
influence naturally damages our civil pros
perity. 1t withholds truthful returns of
its lawless gains, and refuses to pay right
eous taxation. The total present value of
the railroads of this country is 81 1854, ESQ.,
799, exceeding the annual cost of liquor
drank by less than the worth of the rail-
roads i'll the single State of Pennsylvania.
1t affects deleteriously every important
civil interest of the country, productions,
expenditure, taxation, pauperism, prosti-
tuition, peace of the streets, repression Of
crime, protection of person and property,
interests of labor, purity of the ballot, and
the success, if not the very existence, of
republican government. This wicked in
f1uence is made more potent by the Excess
sive gains of the cruel traders, who ''toil
not neither do they spin, and yet Solomon,
in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of
these"
The system of ruin ignores mans respon-
sibility to God, and annihilates his hopes
of salvation. This point was sufficiently
demonstrated by two passages of Scripture,
viz: "No drunkard shall inherit eternal
life," and "Woe to him who putteth the
bottle to his brothers lips
Total abstinence was exhibited as the
most important plank in the platform of
reform. No one can be safe if he INDUCES
at all, and none can hope to be rescued
from drunkenness by any other process.
The per Sc sin of a single glass of wine was
presented, showing that the first step toaoards
ruin is as guilty as the last one, that lands
us where hope and mercy can never come.
The use of mild wines in social circles
was shown to be the prolific primary
department of the grade Of vicious school
ing which leads to downright dissipation
and drunkenness.

Rowing Against the Tide.

1t is easy to glide with its ripples,
Adown the stream of Time,
10 flow with the course of the river,
Like music to some old rhyme
But ali. it takes courage and patience
Against the current to ride,
And we must have strength from Heaven
When rowing against the tide.
We may float on the rivers surface,
While our oars scarce touch the stream
And visions of earthly glory
On our dazzled sight may CLEAN;
We forget that on before us
The dashing torrents roar,
And while we are idly dreaming,
Its waters will carry us DER.
But few-ah. would they were many
Row up the "Stream of Life"
They struggle against it's surges,
And mind neither toll nor strife;
Though weary and faint with labor,
Singing triumphant they ride,
For Christ is the hero's captain
When rowing against the tide.
For on through the hazy distance,
Like mist on distant shore,
They see the walls of the city,
With its banners floating Ger
Seen through glass so darkly,
They almost mistake their way,
But Faith throws light on their labor,
When darkness shuts out their way.
And shall we be one of that number
Who mind not toll Or pain?
Shall we moan the loss of earthly Joys
When we have crown to gain?
Or shall we glide on with the river
With DEATH at the end of our ride,
While our brother, with Heaven before him
Is rowing aginst the tide

A HOUSE BUILT BY ONE MAN.-The
South London Press tells story Of perse-
verence. About four years ago an eccen-
trio parsonage, who follows the pursuit of
bird-catching, purchased small plot of
land on the eastern side of Nunbed Gene
terry. Here he resolved to build good
sized, six-roomed brick house with his own
hands. He at once set to work, and,
strange to say, has nearly finished his task.
He has been his own architect, his own
bricklayer, his own laborer, his own joiner,
his own plumber and glazier, and, what is
more strange, has built the house without
one particle of scaffolding, and even car
ried his own bricks from the maker by the
armful as he was able to afford them. The
work is said to appear very substantial,
and to do him great credit. During the op-
erations he has been living in small brick
hut, built by himself ON the plot at the out
set, in company with a little son and a
loquacious parrot. He probably thought
himself second Crusoe on an uninhabited
island, and behaved as snch.

And will not let the bitterness of life
Blind me with burning tears, but look beyond
Its tumult and its strife:
Because lift my head above the mist,
Where the sun shines and the broad hrceZcs blow

That Gods love doth bcstow;
Think You find no bitterness ut all.
No burden TO lie borne. like Christians pack?
Think You there ready tears to fall
Because l keep them back
Why should hug lif.''s ills with cold reserve,
To myself and all who love me: Nay,
A Thousand times more good than deserve
God gives me every day.
And in each one of these rebcllious tears,
Kept hrar"ly back, He makes Rainbow shine.
Grateful! take His slightest gift fears,
Nor any doubts mine
Dark skies must clear: and when the clouds are past
One golden day redeems weary year.
