The CHANCE OF BEING STRUCK BY LIGHT
N1NG.-The Hartford Courant has been hg-
uring up the chances of being struck by light
ming, and arrives at the following re-assuring
results:
taking the figures of the last census re-
port for our facts, we find that during the
year 1870 there were in the whole country
2O2 deaths from lightning stroke. Let wo:
mankind take notice that out of these l40 OF
the deaths were males, and only ID females.
The total number of deaths from all causes
were nearly 100000. There were 2437 deaths
from other causes to one death from lightning,
and there were 19O,SS3 persons living to eve
ry one killed by this cause. 1t is somewhat
singular that the lightning was decidedly
more destructive with both males and females
between the ages Of ten and thirty years than
with any others. Between ten and fifteen
years is the. most fatal time, but even then the
number is very small. Much comfort for
those still inclined to be tmorous is to be
found in going back still further on the record.
The deaths by lightning in 1870 were only
eleven more than in 1860, while the popula-
ton had increased more than 100000, and
the rate is declining in spite of the hasty con-
clusions formed by reading the news OF the
day. In 1860 there were forty-eight deaths
by lightning out of every 100000 deaths from
all other causes in 1870 the rate was only
forty-two. But now, while only 2O2 persons
died from lightning strokein 1870, there were
397 deaths from sunstroke, or nearly twice as
many. Yet the number ofpersons who shud-
der when they see the sun rise would bear
very small ratio to those who shudder 1T the
rising of the thunder cloud. The rate of
deaths by sun.stroke has declined during the
decade from niuety-onc to eighty.one in 1oO,-
900 from all causes and with the Increase
in care and information on the subject is like
ly to decrease still but it will probably al
ways be largely in excess of the lightning
rate. 1t is also noticeable that there were

LITTLE THINGS.

LITTLE THINGS.
One step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mended;
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One flake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
So the little coral-workers,
By their slow but constant motion,
Have built up those pretty islands,
In the distant dark-blue ocean;
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
By oft-repeated effort,
Have been patiently achieved.
A little-'tis little word,
But much may in it dwell;
Then let warning voice be heard,
And learn the lesson well.
The way to ruin thus begins,
Down, down, like easy stairs;
IF conscience suffers little sins,
Soon larger ones it bears.
A little theft, small deceit,
Too often leads to more;
IT'S hard at first, but tempts the feet,
AS through an open door.
Just as the broadest rivers run
From small and distant springs,
The greatest crimes that men have done
Have grown from little things.
