Some Simple Experiments.

Place tobacco pipe In such posi-
ton, on the edge OF the table, that if it
were left unsupported it would fall to
the ground. A poker may now be sus-
pended from the pipe in such man
ner that the weight of the poker will
be sustained by the pipe. The looped
ring on which the poker hangs should
be as close as possible to the bowl of
the pipe, and the end of the poker
must fall under the edge of the table.
The centre of gravity in this case is be-
low the centre OF suspension, and the
pipe consequently supports the poker.
If little thread be well soaked in q
strong solution of salt and water, and
then dried and tied to ring not much
larger than a weddingring, you may
apply the flame of candle to The
thread, which will burn il to ashes,
and yet it will sustain the ring. The
cohesion of the tibrous particles of
thread having been destroyed by the
action of the flame, the ring is now
suspended by the cohesion OF the par
ticles of salt.
Wrap 4 piece of clean writing paper
tightly about the cylindrical handle of
the poker, and the paper may be held
over the flame of a lamp or candle for
some time without being in the slight
est degree injured or burned; TOW wrap
similar piece of paper around the cyl
inder of wood, and hold it over the
flame, which will burn it almost i'm
mediately. This experiment shows
the difference between the conducting
powers Of metal and wood, the heat
being conducted away from the paper
by the iron almost as rapidly as COM
municat9d, while wood, being a bad
conductor Of heat, takes fire almost im-
mediately.
Suspend poker by two strings, and
insert the eXtremities of them into the
ears. a blow given to the poker will
now produce, through the medium of
the strings, sound equal to that of
great bell. This shows that the vibra-
tioD given to the metallic mass of the
poker by the blow are much more
readily communicated to the ear by
the strings than through the air. Thus.
on the same principle, the boiling of a
kettle, inaudible in the air, may be dis
tinctly heard, even from the begin
ming, by resting one end of the poker
ON the vessel and applying the other to
the ear.
So also the beating of watch placed
at one extremity of long beam of tim
Der may be heard through the timber
at the other end of the beam by per-
son who holds his ear to the wood, al
though it is totally inaudible in the
air.
Place in a small glass bottle hot wa
ter near the boiling point, colored a
deep carmine with cochineal; place the
same at the bottom of a glass jar of
cold water. Immediately the light hot
colored water in the phial will be dis
placed by the heavier cold water in the
jar, and will ascend in beautiful Grim
son clouds TO the top of the jar.

National Republican.
1t is being conceded that since the
advent of the new year the weather
has been more continuously cold than
during any preceding winter in many
years-it Is said, during the present
century. This assertion may be eX-
trayagant. We are very apt to say OF
AN extreme weather that it is the cold
est or hottest in q great plumber OF
years, when only our recollectiOns are
at fault. Still, this winter is an eXcep-
ton to the general routine of winter
weather, ana is not confined to this lat
itCde or to this continent. In the East,
however severe it may be, all classes OF
people are prepared for it, and we hear
Of no serious calamities, but on the
plains and prairies of the West reports
of severe or fatal freezing are OF daily
occurrence. Snow falls in ArizOua, the
land of flowers. In Southern Califor-
mia the combined reports that froSts
never inj jure the growing crops are dis
puted by the cold and rain. In the
sandwich Islands the natives are shiv-
ering, and when their king returns he
will probably be charged with taking
home with him not only the customs
of Washington, New York and Boston,
but too much OF their climate. The
Isnow-slides in Utah are almost un-
known before. In the Canadas univer-
sal complaint is heard.
The same comes across from the At
lantic; the cold in Europe is almost un-
heard of. The cold and icebergs in the
Atlantic, which delay or destroy every
thing afioat, add their frigid testimony,
and, altogether, we have chapter
which may be titled not "the testimony
of the rocks" but "the testimony of
the icebergs." The old Scotch couplet,
running something thus:
"If Candlemas day be fair and clear,
Therell be twa winters in the year,
is proving true with force. No doubt
this old Tradition, like all traditions,
had ius foundation in some observations
confirmed by years of experience in
that cold country, and we must con.
clude that tradition so long handed
down must have its origin in fact. In
this age of scientific research it remains
for science to ferret out the causes
whose effects have entered into history,
or to prove them untrue.

Cbristianits and Science.

In the current discussions OF the re-
Iations of Christianity to science, there
is one fact that seems TO have dropped
out of notice; yet it is full of meaning,
and deserves, for Christianity's sake,
to be raised and kept before the public.
Who, or what, has raised science to its
present commanding position ? What
influence Is it that has trained the in
vestigator, educated the people, and
made il possible for the scientific man
to exist, and the people to comprehend
him q? Who built Harvard College?
What motives form the very fonnda-
tion-stones of Yale? To whom, and to
what, are the great institutions of
learning, scattered all over this coun-
try, indebted for their existence?
There is hardly one of these that did
its growth from, Christianity. The
founders of all these institutions, more
particularly those of greatest influence
and largest facilities, were Christian
men, who worked simply in the inter
est of their Master. The special scien-
tifc schools that have been grated
upon these institutions are children of
the same parents, reared and endowed
for the same work. Christianity is the
undoubted and indisputable mother OF
the scientific culture of the country.
But for her, our colleges would never
have been built-our common schools
would never have been instituted.
Wherever a free Christianity has gone,
it has carried with it education and
culture.
The public, or considerable portion
of il, seems to forget this, or has come
to regard Christianity as opposed to
science in its nature and aims. 1t is al
most regarded, by many minds, as the
friend Of darkness, as the opponent of
free inquiry and the enslaver OF
thought. The very men who have
been reared by her in some instances
turn against her, disowning their
mother and denying their sources of
their attainments, and to-day she has
herself all the temples of learning,
framed the educational policy of the
nation, and, with wide sacrifice of treas
ure, reared the very men who are now
defaning her.-Dr. j. q. Holland, in
Scribner for March.

toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache. Jaundice Green sickness, Bill
iOus Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should

For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required
For Rheumarism. GOuts Gravel, Pal
pitafiOn of the Heart, Pain i'm the
Side, Back and LOins, they should be cOntin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For DrOpsy and Dropsical sWeliings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge

taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
As Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels restores the appetite, and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that dose Of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their

OVER THE WAY.
BY N. NJ. D.

Over the way, over the way,
I've seen head that's fair and gray;
I've seen kind eyes not new to tears,
A form of grace, though full of years
Her fifty summers have left no flaw
And l, a youth of twenty-three'
So love this lady, fair to see,
| want her for my mother-in-law.
Over the way, over the way,
Pye seen her with the children play;
I've seen her with a royal grace
Before the mirror adjust her lace;
A kinder woman none ever saw;
God bless and cheer her onward path,
And bless all treasures that she hath,
And let her be my mother-in-law.
Over the way, over the way,
l think I'll venture, dear, some day
Of you will lend helping hand.
And sanctify the scheme I've planned),
Ill kneel in loving, reverent awe,
Down at the lady's feet, and say:
'.Pve loved your daughter many a day
Please, won't you be my mother-in-law'

THE OLD FOGY MAN.

He was queer old fOgy man,
And loved old fogy ways;
And rallied against the reckless speed
Of those fast modern days:
He once could travel leasuraly,
And stop his friends to hail:
But now they rushed him through by steam
And rode him on rail
The good old coach was fast enough
For prudent folks to go;
Imprudent men now laugh at it,
and say twas rather slow;
And so they rushed upon the train,
And speed like thought away,
Until a smash-up breaks their bones;
He thinks it doesn't pay.
He loved old housewives spinning wheels;
The music of their hum
Was far more dear to his old ear
Than grand-piano thrum.
But, all! he sighs-thOse wheels are gone
Since Whitney made his gin;
No more we hear their thrifty lum-
No more the sisters spin.
The rosy girls of old time,
Sunburnt, were firmer made
Than these, the late and tender shoots,
That grow up in the shade;
They did their mothers heavy work,
And eased their weary hands;
And sometimes, too, if brothers failed,
Could help to 10 mans.
Their dresses were made with easy fit,
Gave not a pain beneath;
Their hearts have ample time to beat,
Their lungs had room to breathe
Unlike our present girls with waists
Too much compressed and slight,
Who, if they do not dissipate,
Are very often TIGHT.
They let no fashion dwarf their forms,
But grow to comely size,
And health shone ever on their brows
And sparkled from their eyes;
They thanked kind heaven for its gifts,
And thought with secret pride,
That they were beautiful enough,
And they were satisfied.
But now our modern girls, alas,
Think Providence unkind;
For putting too much in the midst,
And not enough behind:
And so they hustle round and lace,
To mend such clumsy ways,
And think they far outshine the girls
OF good old fogy days.
He wished, he said, for their sweet sakes,
That fashions torturing vice
Would ease them up little, and
Less pinching would suffice;
That they might feel the bounding health,
Around the heart that plays,
When all unfettered as it was
In good old fogy days.
