/. Hell.

The word "hell," a translation of the
Greek word, Gehenna, is term used to
designate the valley of Hinnom. This
valley bounds Jerusalem on the North, and
lies below Mount Zion-a scene of sacred
and imperishable association. In this val
ley Moloch, the national god of the Amo-
rites, who worshipped with the horrid and
inhuman rite of sacrificing children in the
fire. When Josiah, in his conquest, over
threw this idolatry, he poured contempt
upon the internal practice by casting into
the valley the bones of the departed. In
the estimation of the old Hebrews the bones
of the dead caused the greatest of all pol
lutions. Whatever person, place or things
they touched were forthwith considered
"unclean." Hence the valley of Hinnom,
this Gehenna, this hell,n having the re-
ceptacle of the human remains which
Josiah threw into it, was considered place
the most polluted and accursed. From
this circumstance it becomes common
receptacle for all the refuse of the city Of
Jerusalem. Here large quantities Of de-
composing vegetable and animal matter
were constantly thrown. This putrescent;
matter generated an abundance Of worms !;
the worrl here never died. To prevent the
noxious efiiuvia springing from this mass
Of corruption, poisoning the atmosphere
and breathing disease and death into the
heart Of the city, fires we're kept burning
day and night. This valley therefore, was
literally d place where the worm never
died, and where the fire VAS never quench-

WHAT GRAssHOPPERs ARE Coon FoR.--
L. w. sends communication to the Gin
cinnati Times in which he says In South
Africa, the grasshopper (ocust) is eaten by
every living thing, from lions down to
domestic cattle, and from the asvogel "a
species of eagle) down to the most diminu-
tive birds. Nor does man disdain this arti-
Gle Of food the natives win follow fight
of locusts for days, and become rolling fat,
if they can follow them long enough.
Some of the natives merely roast them in
the ashes of the camp fire, but those pos
sessing greater degree of intelligence
have more intricate nsodus operandi..
After the hoppers are killed they put them
in dry frying pan and parch them as We
we do pop corn, until they are crisp and
brown they are then ground to powder
in the ordinary mortar used in that country,
and made into very palatable and nutritious
cakes. For period of two months, during
which was detained by fever, in q native

The Prayer-Gauge.

Unbelievers will regard it as curious and
unfortunate coincidence, that the grasshop-
pers of the Missouri bottom-lands selected
Fast-day as the best time for grand hegira
to other States. Devout Christians, on the
other hand, will place the prayers and the
departure of the plague in the relation of
cause and effect Those who attempt to
hold the balance between the extremists of
both kinds must be prepared to contend
fearful perplexities. The believers say that
here at last is clear answer to a precise
petition; the people prayed earnestly that
the grasshoppers might take unto them
selves wings and fly away, and 10, the
grasshoppers flew. But the scoffers have a
ready answer. They assert that the growth
of the grasshoppers' wings was perfectly
natural process; and that Governor Hardin
was aware of these facts when he issued
his famous prayer proclamation. We are
prepared for long and tiresome discussion
in controversy through the columns of the
newspapers, and for final abandonment of
the whole subject as possessing only a
small degree of speculative interest. The
issue will show, no doubt, that any prayer
gauge trial, however extended and defined,
will utterly fail to convince anybody either
that prayer is heard or is not. It win al
ways be easy for either side to say that the
conditions of the trial were not observed,
or that the results were not correctly deter
mined. The present case in Missouri az
fords equal satisfaction and comfort to
skeptic and Christians, inasmuch as the
main desire Of both sides is accomplished
BY the hegira of the pests. Chicago 1rs-

A French Solomon to His Son.
From Paris Charivari

pfum EdTlS CU&IlYdTL
Women love but once-shun that once.
Woman's hate is in proportion to their
womanly love.
Most women retain their virtue, but many
like to risk it.
Not all women lie, but no woman ever
tells the whole truth.
Hatred is at the bottom of love, as death
is at the bottom of life.
One always thinks he is in love when
going up stairs coming down he is not SO
sure of it.
You cannot impede woman in her love;
you cannot recall the arrow shot into
space.
A woman is fortress which can al
ways be taken-by him who knows how to
make the assault.
Mans vanity is irritated by defeat and
consoled with rupture. Woman's vanity
acts in an inverse sense.
Ask not woman's heart she has but one,
and may give it. Of all fatal presents a
womsn's heart is the most deadly.
Do not love a romantic woman. She
will make an ideal of you which you can
not realize, and which it win grieve you to
destroy.

A MYSTERY.
BY JOHN g WHITTIER,

The river hemmed with leaning trees
Wound through its meadows green:
A low, blue line ot mountains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp, tall peak above hem all
Clear into sunlight sprang;
saw the river of my dreams,
The mountain that sang.
No clue of memory led me on,
But well the ways knew;
A feeling of familiar things
With every foot-t ep grew.
Not otherwise above its crag
Could lean the blasted pine;
Not otherwise the maple hold
Aloft its red ensign.
So up the long and shorn foothills
The mountain road should creep;
So. green and low. the meadow fold
Its red-hailed kline asleep.
The river wound as it should wind;
Their place the mountains took;
The white torn frfnges of their clouds
Wore no unwonted look.
AZ
Yet ne'er before that rivers RIM
Was pressed by feet OF mine;
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
A presence strange at once and known,
Walked with me as my guide: .
The skirts of some forgotten life
Trailed noiseless at my side.
Was it dim remembered dream?
Or glimpse through @ons old?
The secret which the mountains kept,
The rivel never told.
But from the vision ere it passed
A tender hope drew;
And, pleasant az dawn of spring,
The thought within me grew.
That love would tmper every change.
And soften al surprise;
And, misty with the dcws of earth,
The hills of heaven arise.

Size and Heat of the Sun.
Lnrdnn Onarferlx


The diameter of the sun is S53, $50 miles,
A train which travels the earth 8 circumfer-
ence in a month, would require nine years
to do so on the sun. Let a cannon ball re-
present the earth, and it will take /, 400, ,000
such balls to represent the sun ); but it
would require only 100000 earths to equal
the sun in weight. This gives it an excess
Of the mass over all of the known planets
OF the system, taken together, of GA times !;
and, therefore, it is the great controlling
center of every attendant world. The in
tensity Of the solar light cannot be adequate
" grasped LAG balls of lime, as large as
the sun, intensly luminous as the lime light,
would only equal its brilliancy, while a
calculation of it's heat. as represented by
terrestrial combustion, in a given time, may
be computed, but cannot be understood.
OF the intense activities thus begotten, this
earth, despite the ENORMOUS energies which
animate it, receives but the two hundred
and seventy-seven millionth part.

The amount of money expended for religion
in all the christian churches in the United

Ans.-1. We can only answer these ques-
tions approximately, as we know of none
except general statistics. The amount of
the war debt, which represents as nearly as
possible the cost of the war to the govern
ment, was about at 81. 800, 600, 900 to which
should be added the amount paid for pen
sions, which to the first of the present

is probable the cost of the war to the South
WAS quite as much more. taking into con-
81 |erltion the destruction of property
which the North did not suffer: so that the

Ans.-1. What may be called the ex-
pended vibrations always exist in air where
various sounds are occurring. These trem-
blings of the air are received upon the inner
covering of the shell, and thus, being col
lected into focus, and transmitted to the
ear. 2. Sugars are refined by a mixture of
lime-water, boiling with animal charcoal
and liberation through twilled cotton. In
some establishments buileck's blood is
used in clarifying. The albumen of the
serum becomes coagulated ON the applica-
tion of heat, forming network, which
rises to the top of the liquor, carrying with
it a greater part of impurities. The red
dish syrups obtained by the first liberation
is next passed through filters into large
watts, upon which are placed coarse ticking,
coarsely- ground charcoal and a second
layer of ticking. Tho syrup is allowed to
flow over the surface of this filter, and runs
through, coming out perfectly colorless.
It is then boiled iB oGcao until it becomes
thick and granular, and it is cast in molds.
3. From $25, to $40.
