WONDERS. .-Lewinbeck tells
US of an insect seen with a micro
scope, of which twenty-seven mil
lions would only equal mile.
Insects of various kinds may be
seen in the cavities of a grain of
sand.
Mold is II forest of beautiful
trees, with branches, leaves and
fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodiss is
covered with scales like fish; a
single grain of sand would cover
one hundred and fifty of these
scales, and yet a scale covers five
hundred pores. Through these
narrow openings the sweat forces
itself like water through a sieve.
The mites make five hundred
steps a second.
Each drop of stagnant water
contains a world Of animated be-
ings, swimming with as much lib
erty as whales in the sea.
Each leaf has a colony of insects
grazing on it, like cows in mead.

Prof. Agassiz told the Tea
chers' Convention in Boston
last week that he tbo't in pub
lie education "too much was
made of the memory and too
little of the mind" "There
were," in his opinion, toe few
teachers and too large classes
or shoots. These large schools
reminded him of barricks for
soldiers ratherthan friendly pla-
ces where children should be
taught. Other evils are that
one man is required to teach
too many branches, in all OF
which be cannot be proficient
that textbooks are too much

from their knowledge, but as a

story, perhaps forgotten by all
but men who were students at

years ago, of an enthusiastic
professor of entomology, not
celebrated for his exercise of
hospitality, who was so delight
ed at the arrival of an eminent
pursuer of insects that he invi-
ted him to board and bed in
bis chambers. Next morning
DR.. Macfly greeted his guest,
"And how did We sleep the

"Not very well. A strange
bed, perhaps. But"

Decidedly Good.

Will Carleton, the rising young
poet, in an editorial poem, thus
tells how a farmer took a young
ster of his to a printing-ofie to be
made into an editor, being fit for
nothing else.
TIE editor sat in his sanctum,
and looked the old man in the eye.
Then glanced at the grinning
young hopeful, and mournfully
made this reply:
as Jour son a small unbound

meeEness, and strangle a natural
oath!
Can he leave all his wrongs to

Can he do an hours work in a
minute, and live on si1pence a
weekf
Can he courteously talk to an
equal, and browbeat an impudent

Can he keep things in apple pie
order, and do half-a-dozen at

Can he press all the springs OF

THE DISTRESS IN PERSIA
Says the London Times of the
Goth nit: "There is no longer
any doubt respecting the hor-
rors of the famine in Persia.
A population of four millions,
scattered over an arid country
about as large as Great Britain
and France together, is being
swept away by thousands and
tens of thousand. 1t appears
that a large number of the in
habitants of Persia belong to
wandering tribes whose sus-
tenance is provided by their
f1ocks and herds, and who are
therefore entirely dependent
on pasturages. Three years of
drouth have almost totally de-
stroyed the grass Oh the noun
tain sides and in the valleys,
and the people and the cattle
are perishibg together. The
suffering may have been less
severe in the cultivated dis
tricts, but even there it has
been terrible, and the accounts
from the cities alone are suff-
ciently appalling. At Ispahan,
the capital, 10000 people have
died of want, and more than
double that number in the pro-
vince. Out of a population OF
10000 at KazerooD, as many
as 1000 have starved to death,
1000 more have fed the placer
and children have been tram
pied to death under foot in the
scramble for relief. 1t is im-
possible to look foc any natural
recovery until next spring, and
the country possesses none OF
the ordinary means of trans,
port and supply"

He who thinks better of his
neighbors than they deserve
cannot be a bad man, for the
standard by which his judg-
ment is formed is the goodness
of his own heart. 1t is the
base only who believe all men
base or, i'm other words, like
themselves. Few, however,
are all evil. Even Nero did a
good turn to somebody, for
when Rome was rejoicing over
his death, some loving hand
covered his grave with flowers
Puplic men are seldom or ever
fairly judged, at least while
living. However pure, they
cannot escape calumny; how.
ever correct, they are sure to
find eulogists. History may
do them Justice, but they rare,
ly get it while alive, either frou
friend or foe.

who Ate Roger Williams.


Ninety years alters his death, in I'LL
steps were taken to erect some suitable
monument, but the storms of the RevO-
luton came on, and the work was for
gotten. But recently the question has
been agitated anew, and Williams may
yet at least have some outward signs to
mark his greatness and petpetuate bis
name. During a period of one hundred
and eightY-three yeas not even rough
stone has been set up to mark the grave
of the founder of Rhode Island, till the
precise locality of his grave had been al
most forgotten, and could only be ascer-
tanned by the most careful investigation.
Suffice it to say however, that the spot
was found and the eXhumatiOn made u
while ago, although there was little to eX-
hume, On sOraping off the turf from
the ground, the dim outlines of seven
graves contained within less than one
square rod, revealed the burial ground Of
Roger Williams. In Colonial times each
family had its own burial ground, which
was usually near the family residence.
Three of these seven graves were those
Of children, the remaining four were
adults. The easterly grave was identi-
fed as that of Mr.. Wi liams.
In digging down into the "chamel
house," it was found that every thing
had passed into oblivion. The shapes
at the coffins could only be traced by Il
black line of carbonaceous matter, the
thickness Of the edges of the sides Of the
coffins, with their euds distinctly defin-
cd. Ine rusted remains of the hinges
and nails, with few fragments of wood
and single round knot was all that
could be gathered from his grave. In
the grave of his wife there was not
trace Ofany thing save a single lock OF
braided hair, that had survived the
