A Lump of Brown Sugar.

Do you ever eat brown sugar because it
IS cheaper II you do, buy a microscope
and examine a lump Of tue next you tako
home. 'Astonisbment' will be hardly tho
word to express the feeling you will have
as the result Lest you may not get tho
microscope, allow us TO describe what you
will see. Under powerful glass there will
be seen myriads Of horrible monsters az
large as beetles, and having the appearance
of crabs. -Four dreadful legs, with claw
pncers at the ends Of them, jointed 10 four
parts as with armor and bristling with sharp
pointed spears are in front of the monster,
and bis head has long pyramdol form iu
two joints with five fogertips at the termi-
nus where the mouth should be. The DO
dy Is oyal-Shape, and marked almost exact
ly like that Of a crab, only upon the rims
Of an inner circle upon the back there are
twelve more Of those long, shorp spears,
with two at the tail, and four snake like te-
nacular, exceedingly foe in the articula-
ton, and no doubt intended, like pusss
whskers, 10 be feelers, 20 warn Il Of danger
The reverse side shows the ugliness Of the
beast even worse than the diverse, but 10
also shows the wonderful mechanical genius
Of the maker Of t. Each limb is padded
IN with mass 81 muscles at the base Of IL
which gives the impression Of immense pow
er, and over the muscle there Il a case Of
armor through which il shows These crea-
lures are eager aud ravenous, always fall
ing foul Of each other, or attacking great
clumps Of sugar as large 10 reality as a ma
thematic-point. With the pincers attached
70 the cod Of each proboscis they take hold
OF and tear each other, repeating in their
small way the enormous tragedies Of Ten
nyaon's primal monsters a spoonful Of
this raw, coarse sugar was dissolved ia a.
bout three times lie quantity Of water, as
with coDjuror's rod, auinaIcules sprang
% the surface and hoated there, swimming
about and up and down, like the beasts
that wriggle ia soft water tubs, and finally
turn into mosquitoes. They can be seen
with the naked eye, but not 10 their entire
hideousness. IL has been proved that ia
every pound Of unreGned raw sugar there
are 100000 Of these acri.--Bee Reepey's

The Late Judge VIM. Leigh.

A correspondent Of the Louisville Cow-
rier Journal gives the following remiuiscen-
ces Of the late Judge WM LEIGH, OF Viz
GINA, one of the purest and best of the
Virginians of the old school
Among the countless cases brought be-
fore Judge Leigh, was one of doctor
whose bill against poor patient was exor-
bitant. The bill was Jumping ouc-'med-
ical attendance, so much The Judge re.
qulred the doctor to make out the items
This the doctor refused positively to do,
anl the Judge threw the case out of court
After adjournment, when the Judge was
slowly vending bisyway to the tavern, the
doctor sided up to him aud said
Judge, that was a fair and correct ac-
count.
Il know nothing about it, sir--nothing
about it, replied the Judge
The doctor was silent for some time
Like everybody else, he was afraid of the
Judge; but at last lac mustered up courage
to say, very solemnly:
Judge, we shall all be required to give
an account hereafter of the deeds done in
the body
L know 1t, sir | know it retorted the
Judge, sharply; but, sir, it will be an item
accountant item account
The doctor had no more to say.
Unwilling to Singer superhuous,' as so
many men have done, he resigned his seat
on the bench long before his mental powers
exhibited the first sym ptoms of decay In
deed, his intellect retained, almost to the
end, It's native strength and clearness He
was succeeded by Judge Hunter Marshall,
aud for many years was not seen in any
courthouse. When, at length, he reap
peared, Judge Marshall promptly invited
him to a seat beside his own. The old
Judge accepted, took his scat, and instant
ly became interested in the case then peud-
ing. As the argument progressed, be nod
ded and even expressed approval. Judge
Marshall kept perfectly quiet. The case
went on and the old Judge, quite forget
ting himself, felt called on to set the law
ger then speaking, right upon some impor-
tant point of law, and was proceeding to do
so, when certain queerness of expression
on the faces of his auditors (who respected
him too much to laugh) recalled to his me-
mory the true state of the case. He was
no longer Judge Without word, he
arose, placed his hat upon his head and
walked silently out of the courthouse, ne
yer to enter one again. There was touch
of dignity and sadness in this, which who'll
ly destroyed the ludicrous element in the
scene.

If WE WOULD.

If we would check the speaker,
When he spoils neighbours fame;
II we would but help the erring,
Ere we utter words Of blame;
If we would, how many might we
Turn from paths of sin and shame?
All ! the wrongs that might be riehted,
II we would but see the way
All! the pains that might be frightened,
Every hour and every day
If we would but hear the pleadings
OF the hearts that go astray.
Let us step outside the stronghold
OF our selfshness and pride;
Let us lift our fainting brothers,
Let us strengthen ere we chide
Let us, ere we blame the fallen,
Hold light to cheer and guide.
All how blessed-ah how blessed
Earth would be if we would try
Thus to aid and right the weaker,
Thus to check each brothers sigh;
Thus to walk in dutys pathway
To our better life on high.
In each life, however lowly,
There are seeds Of mighty good
Still, we shrink from souls appealing
With timid, 'Tf we could -
But God, who judgeth all things,
Knows the truth is, ''if we would"

HOME AND FRIENDS.

o, there's power to make each hour
As sweet rs Heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found us
For life hath here no charms so dear
AS home and friends around us.
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hopes-and praise them,
While flowers as sweet, bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stop TO raise them
For things afar still sweeter are,
When youth bright spell hath bound us
But soon we're taught the earth hath naught
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
Do show us still that, come what will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
From Friendships altar crowned us,
Twould prove the bliss of earth was this:
Our home and friends around us.

The Funding Bill-Letter from Hon. 4. Y
Conrad

Hon. Robert Y. Conrad, of Winchester, has
written letter in reply to a number OF proml-
nent citizens of Virginia, in relation to the ex-
pediency of that feature of the funding bill OF
the State which practically enables the holders
of the coupon bonds to intercept the taxes be-
fore they reach the treasury to the extent OF
the entire amount of the interest on the debt,
by making the coupons receivable tor all taxes
and also as to the ability of the people to bear
any increased burthen, and what remedy can
relieve them from any necessity to increase the
present taxes. Mr.. Conrad fully approves OF
the general feature in the bill which frankly
admits the legal obligation of the State to pay
the whole debt, but he agrees with his cores
pondents that the people are in no condition
at this time to stand such taxation as will be
sufficient to pay the interest on the debt, and
at the same time the current expenses OF the
State government. This provision, therefore,
he considers inexpedent, and he makes the
following suggestion
1.-THE remedy, then, which l would suggest,
in order to make this law practicable, and con-
sistent with the safety of our Commonwealth,
is an act repeating or modifying this feature,
so that the revenue arising from the present
rate of taxation should be sufficient to carry on
the government, the current expenses of which
should be reduced to proper maximum, and
the surplus paid equally to the public credi-
tors; the knot must be cut, without stopping
to unite it, if we are right in supposing that it
threatens destruction to ourselves; and [ be-
lieve that in SO doing the Legislature will be
acting within the scope of its legitimate power,
and consistently with the honor and good faith

In ancient times there stood in the citadel of
Athens three statues of Minerva. The first
was of olive wood, and, according to the pop
ular tradition, had fallen from heaven. The
second was of bronze, commemorating the VIC
tory of Marathon and the third of gold and
ivory-a great miracle of art in the age of Per
icles. And thus in the citadel Of time stands
man himself. In childhood, shaped of soft
and delicate wood, just fallen from Heaven in

the proper preliminary steps. Many OF the
