strictly Protestant in religious views, and it has
for many generations been included in the CON

such prospect is its great defect. 1t is built on

a parchment inscribed in Dutch, but the writing
is clearly legible. Another very curious relic is
the weathercock which once stood on the old
church. This church occupied the junction OF
State street and Broadway, and was torn down
near seventy years ago. The weathercOck
shows how rude was the taste Of that dav.

A Polish funeral strikes an English eye as
being very diSordery affair. In England all
IS done "decently aud IN ORDER" the coffin with
its flowing pail, the mourners walking "with
solemn step and slow" behind the corpse Here,
on the contrary, the bare coffin is placed on an
open hearse, on each side of which walk the I'M
dertaseTs men, dressed in a long black coat
0ordered with white cord (the sign OF mourn
iug,) and hats Of an iDdescribable shape, neither
round nor square, neither straight nor crooked,
unique of their kird The funeral procession
| speak OF Catholic funerals opened by
BOY hearing large crucitiX; he is followed by
the priest or priests; then such male friends as
choose to bear taDers; then the heaTse, followed
By the female mOurners and a miscellaneous
crowd, pushing and lOStling, praying or quar-
relin@, according TO their disposition, all rush
inc and striving to be nearest the body. Ar
rived at the grave (the corpse is rarely taken to
church, the office for the dead is said or sung,
and then the nearest relative present throws the
first handful of mould on the cCffin, saying,
May the earth rest lightly on thee" Ii will
be easily imagined that when performed sol
emly and reyerently this action is profoundly
touching.
That the FIRST earth which falls on the coffin
of a parent should he placed there by the
trembling hand of a son, and with that earth
should fall the tear OF ial grief, is a custom so
full of real feeling that we could wish it were
adopted by ourselves. But alas! no sooner mas
this first handful been thrown in than the crowd
push forward, eacn scratching up handful of
earth and throwing it pell-pell in the grave.
The scene is too disgusting TO describe. The
last time | assisted at funeral | saw men, WO-
men and children, beggars by the score, all
pushing and screaming around the open grave
The grave digger, tired of waiting until these
had done jostling and fighting, at last jumped
into the grave, and stamped down with his feet
the superintendent earth. This curious mix
lure of reverence and disorder is not confined to
funeral solemnities. Tospit on the church floor

A LIVING MICROsCOPE.-ln a recent copy Of
the birmingham tEngland) Register there is an
interesting account OF lad whose powers OF
vision entirely eclipse anything of the kind ever
heard Of before. He is no less than Il living
microscope, and possesses the faculty of see
ing minute objects magnifed TO marvellous
degree When quite young he was afflicted
with a disease peculiar TO the eyes, and fears
were entertained that he would lose his sight
He recovered gradually, but it was noticed than
the disease had materially affected the organiza-
ton Of the eye-in fact, changed its internal
structure, the cornea being greatly enlarged
the crystalline lens being divided into three dit
tefent parts, each part being surrounded with
light blue circle, and in the center of each ap-
pears the iris, but greatly diminished IN size
beng about the circumference Of small pin
head. He can not distinguish objects at a dis
lance, they appearing to him rs distinct Objects
do TO ordinary eyes when viewed through a tel
eScOpe drawn out CT focus, blurred and mis-
shapen, HIS case is exciting great interest
among semitic men, who have formed various
opinions as TO the causes thar have wrought
such change.
Added to this wonderful talent of microscopic
sight, the lad exhibits that of being able to
sketch the objects he examines, and by an ad.
mirable finish Of water colOrs can give TO the
world the result of his studies He has within
the last year examined and sketched quite
number of beautiful specimens of DatOmaCea

Immediately read the lines and pronounced the
words, which, however, he did not understand,
not being yersed in French.
Scientists who have paid attention to this
case state, as the result of their experiments,
that the magnify ing power Of his vision is about
five hundred dlameteIs. One curious fact con-
nected with his vision is, that he will never ex-
anime water. having once, soon after his recov-
cry, discovered the vast number of infusoria
contained in some he was in the act of drinking,
which bad the effect to thoroughly lrighten him,
since which event no lnducement can make him
repeat the experiment.
Sir Charles Madden, +. r. S., has paid much
attention to this singular case, and has brought
It prominently before that body, by a res Of
interesting papers. 1t is said that DR.. Crowder,
an eminent oculist, is preparing an elaborate

PROGRESS IN VIRGINIA The Virginia iour-
nails think that that state is moving on rapidly
toward wealth and power The Lynchblrg Vir-
ginian says: sit was only on Saturday last that
we met with northern gentleman who, having
seen much Of the world, is disposed to engage i'm
an enterprise here that, we believe, would prove
lucrative to himself and confer q benefit npon
the city aud vicinity. His object is TO be near
water navigation, and at the same time be with.
in reach ola web timbered region. He perceiyes
the advantage which the canal affords, in con-
nccton with our new railroad now being con-
structed through one ofthe best wooded sections
of the state, Aud this is only one case in many
that might be cited. The internal improvements
that are now projected or IN progress are attract
lng the attention OF enterprsing men outside
our own communities, and these, with our nat
ural advantages, VIII give an immense impetus
to immigration within the next few years
"As we said the other day: Virginia is going
ahead, making wOndrous strides Tor an old
state that had lain dormant so long. The new
Virginia will, III very few years, be marvel
of progress in the work OF material development
TO those who have not dreamed that il was pos.
sible TO bring her TO the point Of recuperation.

they were in former times-ol which every Vir-
gnian was justly proud-we can scarcely hope,

"All Hands Below"

A story is told of parrot who had
always lived on board ship, but who
escaped at one Of the Southern ports and
took refuge in church. Soon afterwards
the congregation assembled aad the
minister began preaching 20 them in
regular red hot fashion, saying that there
was no virtue In them; that every one of
them would go to hell unless thew speedily
repented. Just as he spoke the sentence,
spoke the parrot from his hiding place.
"All hands below %
To say that Gail hands" were startled
would be but mild way of putting it
The peculiar voice, from It's unknown
source, had much more effect upon them
than the parsons voice ever had. He
waited moment, and then, shade or
two paler, he repeated the warning.
"'All hands below p' again rang ont
from somewhere.
The preacher started from his pulpit,
aud looked anxiously around, inquired if
anybody had spoken.
"All hands below !'' was the only reply,
at which the entire panic-stricken coDgre-
CATION got up, and moment after they
all bolted for the doors, the preacher try
ing his best to be first, and during all the
time the mischievous bird kept up his
yelling
"All hands below ~
There was an old woman there who
was lame, and could not get out so fast
as the rest, and in very short time was
left entirely alone. just as she was about
to hobble out the parrot few down, aud
alighting on her shoulder again yelled in
her ear:
Call hands below ~

old woman, ''you can't mean me- | don't
