On the whole, we must recognize that,
in all the discussions in defense of the
plurality of inhabited worlds, two ele-
ments have been overlooked, time and
space. The first is eternal, the latter in
finite; and if even only one inhabitable
world exists at time, and if each of their
great number has its turn to become the
scene of life, eternity is long enough to
give such an opportunity to every world

STARTLING TRuTH.-The New York Tr-
bune shows how the sins Of the fathers are
visited upon their children in the following
1.-THE punishment of vice and intemperance
does not'cnd with the vicious and intcmpcr-
ate, but the great human family is so consti-
tuted that ono member cannot sin without
pulling down others. Thus, in appalling de-
gree, are parents answerable for the weak
nesses and vices of their children.
A man drinks moderately and steadily all
his life, with no apparent harm to himself,
but his daughters become nervous wrecks, his
SONS epileptics, libertines, or incurable drunk
ards, the hereditary tendency to crime having
its path ,logy and unyaricd laws OF scrofula,
consumption, or any other physical disease
These are stale truths with medical men !; but
the majority of parents, even those of aver
age intelligence and culture, are apparently
either ignorant or wickedly regardless of
them. When our people arc brought to re-
move gin-shops and gin-scllers for the same
reason that they would stagnant ponds or un-
clean sewers there will be chance of Kidding
our jails and alms-houses of half their ten
ants. We have urged this point until it has
become hackneyed and tegious, but how can
we be silent so long as fresh murder or sui.

.BEAuTIFuL EXPERIMENT. ON SOUND
The following beautiful experiment, described
by Professor Tyndall, shows how music may
be transmitted by any ordinary wooden rod.
In room two floors beneath his lecture room,
there was piano upon which an artist was
playing, but the audience could not hear it,
A rod Of wood, with its lower end resting up-
on the sounding-board Of the piano, extending
upward through the two floors, its upper
end exposed before the lecture-table. But
still no sound was heard. a violin was then
placed upon the end of the rod, which
was thrown into resonance by the ascending
thrills, and instantly the music of the piano
was given out in the lccturc-room. A guitar
and harp were substituted for the violin,
and with the Same result. The vibrations of
the piono strings were communicated to the
sounding-board, they traversed the long rod,
were reproduced by the resonant bodies above,
the air was carved info waves and the whole
musical composition was delivered to the list
cmng audience.

COMFORT. &c Ah!" said John Bull to a

There is some truth in this reproacll. Per-
petually toiling for money, with the professed
object of being enabled to live comfortably,
We sacrifice every comfort in the acquisition
Of fortune, in order that when we have OBJ
tanned 1t, We may have an additional discom-
fort from our anxiety to preserve or increase
1t. Thus do we "loosc by seeking what we
shall find." On the other hand, we may find
comfort where we never looked for it ; as,
for instance, in q great affection, the very
magnitude Of which renders us insensible to
all smaller ones. Comfort, in onr national
acceptation of the word, has been stated to
consist in those little Injuries and convenien-
ces, the want of which makes us miserable,
while their possession does not make US
happy. VIE

HAPPINESS.

Plato declares happiness to consist in the
contemplation Of abstract ideas of beauty and
excellence. This may be good definition of
the word, as understood by men with such
minds as this great philosopher had, but it
would apply to but few persons. Indeed,
nine tenths of the race would be miserable
in any such pursuit, or mental oceupation.--
young lady defined happiness to consist in
the possession Of o true and beautiful lover,
and no doubt she spoke the truth 50 far as she
could speak it, but her grandmother at seven
ty would give quite another definition. 70
her it would consist in the completion of n
well-spent life, and the hope of joy in the
world to come. The truth is each individual
will define happiness in his own way. One
man finds it in the persuit of wealth, another
i'll the pursuit of culture, another in the pos
session of religion. The phanthropist finds
it in doing good. The hungry man seeks it
in food, the cold man in warmth and shelter,
willie the man of poverty seeks it in wealth.
Probably, however, perfect health is the foun-
tain source of more happiness than any other.
With good digestion, u tough skin and
sound mind in splendid body, who could not
be happy There is probably more happy |
men and women in the world than unhappy
ones, more joy than sorrow.
Many people think they are unhappy when
they are not. Real unhappiness cannot exist
without n cause. 1t is shame and disgrace
to complain of being unhappy when VIC are
only lazy and unoccupied. Such people are
like the fox who had deep wound somewhere
on his body, buthe could not tell where. Let
them be ashamed to own it, unless they can
show good reason. sa
Happiness consists in loving and being low
ed There is enough to love in the world,
but to be loved we must deserve it. We may
be admired for our beauty or talent, courted I
for our influence or wealth, but VIC can only
be loved as we are good. Therefore, happi- (
ness consists in goodness. The Bible writer /
had it right when he said the Kingdom of
Heaven is within you"
