THE LAST PRAYER.-Dr. Backns,
president of Hamilton College, was
upon his death bed. His physician
called upon him, and after approach
ing his bed side and examining his
symptoms with interest and sOlemni-
ty, left the room without speaking,
but, as he opened the door to go out,
was observed to whisper something 10
the servant in attendance. what
did the physician say to you" said
MI. Baekus. He said, sir, that you
cannot live to exceed half an hour
sis it so9" said the great and good
man. Then take me out Of my bed
and place me upon my knees let me
spend that time in calling on God for
the salvation of the world" His re-
quest was complied with, and his last
I breath was spent in praying for the
/ salvation Of his 1ellow-men. He died
upon his knees, and entered heaven
l with prayer"

G0LDFN ~0PP6RfTNITIES.

As wealth is for the most part ae-
cumulated by the constant saving OF
small sums, so knowledge is acquired
by constant though it may be almust
imperceptible, acquisitions. Line
upOn linen is the one sure way of COB
quering the difficulties that lie in the
students path. The saving of time,
even its moments, is an important
element. Some wait for great oppOr-
tunities, suffering the days, months
and even years, to pass away in mere
resolves TO become learned. The
choice Of q profession, q calling, or an
object Of attainment in the pursuit OF
knowledge, and, not a resolution tc
work, merely, but a working right on
in season and out of season, saving
the moments, is the surest way tC
reach the goal.

Like the historian Prescott, Mr..
Bryant has three residences town
house and two country houses. One
Of these is in the picturesque village
Of Roslyn. l.. l., and commands a
view which in its varied aspect takes
in a mingled scene of Outspreading
land and water. His residence is an
ancient mansion, embOsomed in trees
and vines-a great, ample dwelling
place in the lap Of the hills-built by
Richard Kirk, in 1889. This place
has been the resort Of many distin-
guished men Ofletters and Of men Of
art-Oi travellers and Of statesmen who
have gone thither TO pay their re-
spects to the sage philosopher aud
poet. They have always received a
cordial welcome and enjoyed the
purity Of taste and simplicity of man
ner which pTesides over the hOspita-
bic mansion. Here the venerable
host enjoys the society Of his chosen
friends, and retire5 for a season from
the exacting duties and turmOils ola
daily editorial life.
Walking on a sunny October after
noon with the poet, owe his beloved
domain, he pointed out 4 young
Spanish chestnut tree laden down
with nuts, and, springing Iithely on
the fence despite his seveuty-ive
summers, caught an open burr hang
ing from OF the lower branches,
opened it, and jumping down with
the agility ola youth, handed his city
guests the contents. Of two As larg,
and beautiful chestnuts as we have
ever seen in Europe. Why this nu.
is not more generally grown in thii
country is a mystery which Mr.Bry
ant could not explain. The MaderiaI
2 nut and pecan are also successfully
cultivated at Cedar Mear.-AbOut
. quarter Of a mile distant from tn
mansion, the poet pointed out
. black walnut, which first made IL
. appearance above ground in l7l3, ant
has attained a giTth of p feet and al
immense breadth Of branches. Ever,
, year il strews the ground around it
gigantic streams with an abundance
of nuts of the finest kind. II
one of Bryant's poems, this blacl
walnut tree-the poets especial pridl

e when beside them
Drops the heavy fruit Of the tall blac

I The taste displayed by the poet il
: the selection of his residence at ROs
! Ign is more than equaled by the affeC
4 ton and veneratiOn which hay
+ prompted him to purchase the hOm
/ of his family at CummingtOn, Mas
n saehusetts. This is a venerable man
sion, situated in the region of tn
Hampshire Hills, and is a spot whic.
! nature has surrounded with scenes Il
to awaken the early dreams of tn
poet, and to fill his soul with the pun
est inspiration. In the midst Of sue
scenes the young singer received hi
4 earliest impressions, and descriptiv
CT them he has embodied some Of hi

The
Jewellers, Gold.

From very ancient times il has been
the practice to divide the ounce troy
Of gold into tWenty-four imaginary
parts. An ounce of pure gold, there
fore, and what is called twenty-fOur
carat gold, are identical terms Any
thing less than twenty-four carat gold
indicates that in an ounce weight OF
that substance there are so many
twenty-fourth parts of pure gold, and
that the remaining portion Of an
ounce Of it is made up of an alloy Of
some inferior intellectually copper.
Except for wedding rings, which are,
or should be, made of standard gold,
consisting Of twenty-five parts OF car
ats Of pure gold, and two Of copper
alloy, jewellers seldom use gold OF a
higher rate Of purity than eighteen
carat. How often they use il Of a
much lower degree of fineness they
know best. There is no doubt that II
Is possible to give almost any color to
gold, by the addition OF particular
alloys, and Of late ingenuity has been
at work to give the sixteen-earat gold
the appearance Of pure gold. This is
done by the aid, partly, of what is
technically knowna as the coloring pot,
in which the metal is treated to an
acid bath Of a certain amount OF
strength. BY the judicious use OF
this continuance, twenty-two-cara!
/ gold may be made to resemble very
closely native gold, as found in the
shape OF nuggets in California or Aus
tralia. Nuggets are never. however.
found to be pure gold; they consist
for the most part Of twenty-three o.
twenty-three and a half carat gold
the fraction being made up Of ar
alloy Of some inferior metal. In Ordel
20 test the purity Of gold the appllca
ton of heat is perhaps one Of tbs
simplest means. Pure gold will mo-
be in the least discOlored by it, while
Northumberland gold will take
slightly red tint. There is this dis
advantage about the mode of testing
suggested: it will certainly discolo
very materially all gold of degrees o
fineness inferior to that Of twenty
three-carat, and nothing but the aciI
bath will restore it to its original hue
In order to effect this latter operation
on q small scale, nothing more is nee
essary than to obtain an eartherI
pipkfn, or gallipot, place the articl
in it, cover it with nitric acid, AM
hold it over a spirit or gas lamp, o
even a candle, until the acid boils
The result will be that the metal vii
be restored to its original brightness
