Der of the church had died recently and previous
to his dissolution he appeared to recognize

during the lecttre-room talk and the question
was put whether it would be fair to accept it
as proof that in heaven we recognize our
friends. Mr.. Bcecher said that the way he
looked upon it was, that just before death it

THE Suns HEAT.--The heat of the sun
nowhere penetrates the ocean more than six
hundred feet. Alta depth from one to two
miles the temperature is everywhere about
four degrees below the freezing point. caused
probably by the leo water poured into the
ocean by the arctic regions, northern and
southern. This being heavier than the sur
face water, sinks to the bottom and forms cur
rents eyer flowing towards the equator, to
take the place of the water which, there heat
ed and rendered lighter rises, and forms the
Gulf and other warm streams. As these flow
again towards tho arctic regions, it viii be
seen that perpetual circuit is kept up, the
arctic waters continually lessening the heat Of
the tropical waters, and these, in turn, giving
out their heat as they flow away from tho
tropics. England is warmer than Greenland
only because Of the warmth derived from the
Gulf stream. .ae,s s, ala

MISCELLANY.

Rogue's River, the base OF Becky's future
operations was damned at three points. The
lower dam was at the foreside, the middle
just above the school house, and the up
per dam at the corner. Here was located
smalrs paper-milL nota veryextensive affair,
but which employed adozen men and as many
girls In the middlc. of the river, about a
quarter of mile above this mill, was a small
island, scarcely twenty feet in circumference,
on which flourished a wild growth Of unpro-
ductiye bushes, with one solitary sentinel Of
a tree in their centre aud above this was the
Basin. Into this basin, aftera winding flow
of ten or twelve miles, increased by several
minor streams, the water poured with consid-
cradle power. 1t lay in the form of a heart,
so often depicted on valentines, or moulded in
sugar for the sweet-toothed. 1t was about
thirty feet from bank to bank, and about the
same distance from the point Of entrance to
the island, which, shooting into it, gave it a
resemblance to the emblem of affection. Di-
vided by this island, the water swept along on
either side in strong, swift currents. When
Harry Thompson, as leader Of the boys Of
Caeyerly, had exhausted all the known means

difficult feat, calculating to carry dismay to
the hearts of his followers, and cause uneasi-
ness to those parents who had an interest in
the safety of their children. He not only
suggested it, but himself performed it, aud
succeeded in inducing few Of the boldest to
follow his example. This feat was known as

asked n How's thee? = and made the usual

every head was bowed In deep silence, which
alone would have showed tho Qnater element
in the n,ovement there; then leaning on the
bar, with eyes rcyerently turned toward
Heaven, and hands clasped upon her bosom,
the lady offered the following prayer;

again in sense of our weakness, needing
great help from Thee to do what little Is In

in the name of Jesus, asking Thee to put
words in our mouths and wisdom in our hearts
when we try to talk to this our dear brother.
We implore thee to bless this dear family;
we ask again, as we have often asked before,
that Thou wouldst send Thy word with power
into the heart of this dear brother, that he

DETERMINED Boy.--A youth of ten years,
residing in Binghampton, played so long on a
recent afternoon that he did not get home I'M
til supper was over, and consequently was
told that he could have nothing to eat. Cast
ing one look behind, he started for the door,
at the same time remarking:
"Mother I'm going to die, and when I'm
dead, want the doctor to cut me open and
look at my stomach"
The mother, greatly alarmed, inquired what
he meant, when he replied
II want them to know that died of star
walton" f
A q stay of proceedings" was ordered
and the boy turned from his evil intentions tc

WHAT WILL CAN De.--A friend in the IN
terror of the State writes as follows -
There is an old gray-headed man in our
neighborhood who had for more than three
score years been slave to the alcoholic de-
mon. One day friend who was addicted to
the use of tobacco, said to him
"Uncle John, you are too near the grave to
be indulging SO in Intoxicating drink !"
"You leave off your tobacco" said the old
man, "and will quit drinking"
They shook hands upon it, and that old
man to whom many supposed the sudden
withdrawal of the accustomed stimulant
would be death, and in whose ability to alb
stain from liquor scarcely any one had conf
dence has for years kept inviolate the pledge
that he gave half-banteringly to his friend

WHAT WE WANTING want an atmos-
phere of pure, solid truth. We want preach
ers who will tell what they think without re-
serve. We want physicians who will disclose
the laws of health in the simplest words. We
want lawyers, who will execute law with a
leaning all the time to justice and morality
We want politicians who love our republican
institutions, and sincerely desire to preserve
and improve them who will not falsify, or al
low others to do so in their behalf, without in
slant correction. If we can have these things,
our liberties are ensured for ever. If we can
not, they are endangered every day.
