How the World May be Destroyed.

ASTRONOMY, in conjunction with optics,
has been making some extraordinary dis
coveries in the last few months. The
| spectrOscOpe is a wonderful aid to the
| telescope, and as the latter brings to view
distant worlds, the former indicates the
materials of which they are made. The
late eclipse of the sun demonstrated that
| immense volumes Of hydrogen gas stretch
ed upwards hundreds of miles above its
surface, making reality the oceans of
flame which have often figured in hyper
bOle.
a thought has occurred to us in this
connection, which we venture to CON-
mend to the attention OF our astrOnOmi-
cal and geological friends. 1t is we'll
known fact in geology that in past periods
vastly greater heat has pervaded the
earth than at the present time. The fora
and fauna of a tropical climate flourished
at the poles. Scientific men have been
ingenious in speculation about the cause
OF the change Some have ascribed il to
the internal heat Of the earth, which has
been gradually evolved in successive ages.
Others have attributed it to a different
relation Of the axis of the earth to the
plane of the elliptic. Possibly others
may have suggested a change in the in
ternal constitution of the sun, though we
do not remember to have seen it in our
limited reading. But the phenomenon
finds an easy solution on this hypothesis.
During the last year small star in the
constellation of the Northern Crown sud-
denly became bright as a star of the first
magnitude. Astronomers at once re-
sorted to the telescope to explain the mys-
tery, but could find only confirmation of
the fact, with no hint of its cause. Opti-
clans applied the spec;roscope, and at once
the mystery was revealed. A vast ocean
of hydrogen was in fame, and its cOmbuS-
ton melted the small star, one of the most
brilliant in the armament. The mathe-
maticians took up the data given them in
the increase Of light, and proved that for
any worlds of which this star may be the
| central sun, there must have been an in
crease of heat to seven hundred and eighty
times the. normal standard. If these
worlds are made of similar materials with
our earth, they must have dissolved under
this intense heat, as in the final catastro-
phe of our globe predicted by Peter.
Our thought, then, is simply this. If by
| internal changes, or conclusions in the
central sun, the condition of all the planets
must be sensihly affected; and, if our sun
is liable to such changes as this star in the
northern crown 1--WE know it has untold
volumes of hydrogen above its surface)
why may not the former extreme heat OF
the earth have been due simply to atmos-
| pheric changes III the sun? And why
may they not occur on a larger scale in the
| future, ncraiding the final judgment p

instances prosecuted; if, on the contrary
they prove themselves honest, the objects
are handed over TO them at the end of a
twelvemonth, as is done in cases where
the owners of property found and depos-
tied are not forthcoming.
The same system is pursued in theatres
and museums, and with singularly happy
results, for cabmen, box-openers, and po-
licemen are afraid to be dishonest, and it
is very rare indeed that thing picked up
by them does not find its way back into

THE Wayne county (Penn.) Hrald says
" AT or near Beech Pond, this county,
there lives German who may safely lay
claim to being the champion wretch OF
this vicinity. His wife died some time
since, and he made her coffin himself, ol
rough hemlock boards, in which he placed
some straw, upon which he placed the
corpse, entirely naked, then dug grave
and buried his dead wife with as little
ceremony as one would dog. A few
weeks ago, a little son of his, or years
old, died, and he inferred him in the same
manner. Some days after he was buried
pair of shears was missed from the house
and could not be found Finally, this
monster remembered dropping them in
the straw of his little boys coffin while
he was working at il, and he forthwith
exhumed it, opened it, found the shears
and coolly reinterred the box and its de
caying contents"

A Short Rule for Fretters.

ALrTTLE girl has been visiting me, and
has caused me no little anxiety she
fretted when il rained, because she couiu
not 90 out, and fretted when the sun shohe,
because of the heat. She fretted when
little girls came 10 see her, and lre,'eu
when they did not. 1t is dreadful To be
fretter A fretter is troublesome to her
self and troublesome to her friends.
"But we have our trials" the children
say. Yes, you have, and your little trials
are as hard to bear as our great ones. But
trettiRg don't help them, nor wishing We
were somewhere else or somebody else, or
dwelling upon them till they look great
deal bigger than they really are.
The only right way OF getting along Is
contentedly to bear our lot, and De sa'isiieu
with what God has given us.-Hcho.

TIE Muncie, Ind, Times has this to say
of female fiend in that county: BY
her cruelty she literally drove two of her
daughters from her To seek home among
strangers. She beat and bruised them un-
til they were forced to fly from her pres
encc. The last thing she did to them was
to take as many pins as she could in one
hand and rake up and down their arms
with the points, She also took the orphan
enid, living with her, and put it in pen
where. several hogs were fattening, and
tried to make the brutes tear the flesh from
the childs body"

Box Factory. Wednesday Morning,
June 22nd.
Yesterday morning about two o'clock,
when al the inhabitants were In quiet
slumber, save the night Waterman, the
alarm of fire was given by the quiet
ringing of the fire bell. The people
turned ont en- mdsse. anxious 10 know
where the fire Was. which they were not
long in finding out. as the barning Of The
mammoth building made the town as
light as day. The fire department were
promptly on hand and rendered efficient

advanced TO save anv portion Of the
building. they directed their attention
to saving The property adjacent, and
several frame dwelling houses near hy. all
or which must have been lost, had il rot

The amount of property saved at this
fire will more than pay all the expenses

Col o. II. p. Bailey was occupying the
