Measuring by the Eve.

Years AGO when we went to school
in the little wcathcr-bcatrn school house
on the corner, W. remember what exciting
contests there used to be over the teachers
tavoIite cN' rcise of having the scholars
try to estimate with the eve the size and
weight of different objects in the room.
He would hold up his cane. for instance,
and lave each one tell how long he
thought il Wa, and it WAS u lucky child
that could come within half Il foot of the
right length. He would tlke a boy straw
hat. and ask how much the crown would
hold. He would measure n urchin. and
then have the scholars try to reproduce the
measure on the wall He would mark off
an inch or Il foot or yard in some con
spicuous place, and then see how near any
body could come to chalking the same
length upon the blackboard. And it was
astonishing to see how wide astray one
could 90.
The fact is. our eyes deceive us most
ridlculou>ly, even about the commOnest
things. At first thought. which should YOU
say was the taller, Il three-year-old child
or a flour barrel? And could any thing
but actual measurement convince YOU that
the same child is half as high AS a six
footer? There is an old saying thai Il child
at two years old is half as tall as he ever
will be, and after few experiments in

A SINGING MOUSE.-The Rev. Samuel
Lockwood. Phi d.. contributes to the Sat-
urallSt Il detailed account of singing
mouse which was for some time in his
possession. 1t was species of the UcGp-
eronays cog,latus. which is popularity named
the wood mouse, umpng mouse and white
footed mouse. 1t is Il tiny. agile, graceful
little creature, gambolng and tumbling
about its cage for hours together; but it
suffered no approach to familiarity, always
biting the finger that tried to touch it. 1t
ate all sorts of food-meat, corn, nuts
sugar, bread, fish, &c.-with about the
same relish; but it especially delighted in
fresh grass and white clover. Whenever
an unlucky fly caught its eye, it would
spring and catch it with its mouth or its
hands, and devour it with great gusto. 1t
ate in Il sitting posture, holding its food
in its hands. and managing it with much
dexterity. Its song was varied, comprising
several melodies of considerable length
and intric;lcy. One was invariably warbled
while turning the revolving cage, and
hence was termed the " whecl-sOny" All
the melodies were in the major key, and so
regularly delivered that they were suscep-
tible of notation. and were indeed written
out bv DR.. Lockwood. There was no
monotonv in the strains; for, though the
theme was ever the same. it was diversified
by endless new and charming variations.
At one time the mouse sang unnterruptedlv
for nine minutes. and the muscles of the
abdomen were all the while in vigorous
action. The tones were soft and silvery,
vet very distinct Often, while the mouse
was taking violent exercise, flying about
tho cape or turning the Wheel it would
pour out an unint termitted torrent of song
Sometimes, while at it's meals, it would
literally eat and sing in the same breath
