a sermon on the injustice of obliging
men to work on Sunday. The next
day while riding down to Fulton

did not think some plan might be
adopted to dispense with the need
of running the cars all day Sunday.
The car driver, in ignorance Of his

4 LUMP OF Brown SuGAR.-Do you
eat Brown sugar because it is cheaper!
II you do, buy microscope, and exam
inc a lump OF the next you take home.
"Astonisnment," will hardly be the
word to express the feelings YOU will have
at the result. Lest you may not get
microscope, allow US to describe what you
can see. Unuer a powerful glass there
will be seen myriads of horrible monsters
as large as beetles and having the ap-
pearance OF crabs. Four dreadful legs,
with claw p:ncers at the ends of them,
jointed IN four parts as with armor, and
bristling with sharp pointed spears, are
in front of the monster, and his head has
Il ryramidal form IN two joints, with FIVE
finger tips at the terminus where the
mouth should be- The body is oval
shaped, and exactly like that of a crab.
only upon the rims OF an inner circle
upon the back there are twelve more OF
! those long, sharp spears, with two at the
tail, and four snake like tenacular, ex
ceedingiy fine in the articulation, aud no
doubt intended, like pusss whiskers, to
be feelers, to warp the animal of danger.
| The reverse side shows the ueliness of
the beast more than the diverse but it
also shows the wondfous mechanical
genius of the mixer of it, Each limb is
padded with muscle at the base Of it,
which gives the impression of immense
strength, aud over the muscle there is a
case of armor through which it shows.
These creatures are eager, restive and
ravenous always falling toul of each
other, or attacking great Jumps OF sugar,
as large in reality as mathematical point
With the pincers attached to the end of
each proboscis they take hold and tear
each other, repeating in their small way
the enormous tragedies Of Tennyson's
primal monsters. \ spoonful OF this
raw, coarse sugar was dissolved in about
three times the quantity of water, when,
as with coniurers rod, animalcules
sprang to the surface and hoa.ed there,
swimming abou, and up and down, like
the beasts that wriegle in soft water tubs
and finally turn into mosquitoes They
can be seen by the naked eye, but not in
their hidiousness. 1t has been clearly
proven that in every pound of unrefned,
raw sugar, there are one hundred thous-
and of these acari.

The recent displays Of the Aurora
Borealis, so general throughout tie land
and so unusually brilliant, have reused
speculation as to the cause of this attrae-
tive phenomenon. Numerous plausible
theories have beea advanced upon the
subject, but that of Professor Olmstead
seems to meet with the most considera-
ton from scientific men. lie supposes
'sthe aurora to be due to nebluous matter,
like that which furnishes material or
meteoric shower, the zodiacal light" The
light. he thinks is caused bv the friction
of the earth in plunging with its atmos-
phere through this matter, which, being
partly metallic, thus gives rise to the con-
current magnetic phenomena.
