But under the branches brown and bare

The bloom was white on the chestnut tree

Turn flower to fruit sweet chestnut tree,
And turn my lover again to me.
The ripe pods fell from the chestnut tree
When he came again, but not for me-
For my false, false rival was at his side
And the church-bells rang for the worthy brid

age. The dress of the women was not
less primitive than that of the men.
They wore homespun linsey-woolsey
petticoats and long-tailed bedgowns, a
blue linen apron completing their attire.
The statesman's daughter who first COM
municated to her native dale a knowl-
edge Of the glories Of printed calico, is
said to have created tremendous sensa-
ton, and more than nine days wonder.
The clogs worn by the women differed
from those of the men in being pointed
at the toes, and having brass instead of
iron clasps. Their bonnets were made
of pasteboard covered with black silk,
and in shape somewhat resembling a
coal-scuttle, the front projecting nearly
a foot beyond the face of the wearer.
Bonnets were bonnets in those days,
and served to protect the head and face
from sunshine or rain.

Dust Not All Alike.

We are all OF us dust and ashes. True /:
but i'm some We recognize the dust of
gold and the ashes of the Phoenix; I'm
others, the dust of the gateway and the
ashes of turf and stubble. With the
greatest rulers upon earth, head and
crown drop together and are overlooked.
1t is true We read of them in history ;
but We also read in history of crocodiles
and hyenas. With great writers whether
in poetry or prose, what falls away is
scarcely more or other than a vesture.
The features OF man are imprinted on
his works; and more lamps burn over
them, and more religiously, than are
lighted in temples or churches. Milton
and men like him, bring their own in
cense, kindled with their own fire, and
leave it unconsumed and understandable
and their music by day and night swells
along a space commensurate with the
vault of heaven.

Dyspepsiai dyspepsia!
DvSnpnSias

Dyspepsia is the most perplexIDg OF
all human ailments. Its symptoms are
almost infinite in their variety, and the
forlorn and despondent victims of the
disease often fancy themselves the
prey, in turn, of every known malady.
This is due, in part, to the close SYM
pathy which exists between the stom
acI and the brain, and in part also to
the fact that any disturbance of the
digestive function necessarily disorders
the liver, the bowels and the nervous
system. and effects. to some extent, the

Electric Fall Mdchiaes.-These are
for demonstrating the laws of falling
bodies. In one arrangement. brass
ball is hung by a thread some height
above the ground. Under it, at dis
tance=1, are two metallic balls con-
nected with the poles of an electric
machine; they are so far apart that a
spark cannot pass between them, but
if the suspended ball drops between
them a spark will pass. Further'dOwn,
at distance, then=9, etc., are simi-
lar pairs of balls. The thread of the
suspended ball being burnt, the latter
falls between the successive pairs,
giving passage at each pair to the cur
rent, and simultaneously the spark in
another part of the circuit strikes re
volving SCOT blackened drum, making a
mark. The distance between success
sive marks are found to be equal. In a
second arrangement, there are two cyl
indrical conductors, insulated and YER
tical, with a metallic ball suspended
between them at the top, hardly filling
the interval, and sufficient to enable o
spark to pass between the cylinders,
which are connected with the poles of
an induction secondary coil. One of
the cylinders has coating of SCOT
blackened paper. The thread is burnt,
and the ball falls: sparks are made to
pass at regular intervals of time. by
means of clOckwOrk. interrupting the
battery current. Each spark leaves its
mark on the blackened surface; and
thus are shown the spaces passed over
in equal times.-M. Wdtdner.

The body operated upon weighed 1854
lbs. He exhibited upon the platform
23.1 lbs. carbon, 80 lbs. lime, 22.3 Ozs.
phosphorus. and about OF. each of So
dium. iron and potassium, magnesium,
and silicon. He apoligized for not ex-

weighing 121 lbs, 105,9OO cubic feet of
hydrogen, weighing 15.4 lbs. and 52
cubic feet of nitrogen, like likewise OBJ
tanned from the body, on account of
their great bulk. All of these elements
combine into the following: l21 lbs.
water, 16.5 lbs. gelatin, 13a lbs. fat. SIS

Progress of Flying Machinery.-A new
steering balloon by Smitter is being
exhibited, suspended in the middle of
the Alcazar in Paris. The measure
ment is only 5000 cubic feet, but the
balloon is SO light that, when filled with
pure hydrogen, it must float. A con-
siderable sum of money has been in
vested in it, and great ability has been
displayedin the construction. Although
no practicable result in open air may
may be hoped for, it is a wonderful
piece of clOckwOrk. In connection with
this subject, it is stated that, for sew
eral months past, firm of engineers
have been experimenting privately at
the Crystal Palace with an aerial
steamer of novel and promising char
acter, weighing 1G0 los. Experiments
are stated to have proved the capabili-
ty of two vertical screws, each 12 feet
diameter, 10 raise a weight of 100 lbs. !;

SCIENTIFIC.

Original Nicroscopical Researches
To such of our readers as propose de-
voting the coming summer vacation to
micrOscopical work, We can suggest
the following Investigations as offer
ing excellent fields for original re-
search: First, examine the theory sug-
gested by DIR. Bastian as to occasional
transformations taking place between
the lowest forms Of animal and vege-
table life. Confine some minute vege-
table tissue-if showing prOtOplastic
circulation, so much the better-in a
live box, and watch with care. Notice
if, in process of time, nuclei or any
other parts should undergo any such
transformations. A / inch or inch
objective is suited for the purpose.
There is abundant opportunity for
new work in relation to fungi. Cookies
recently published book on that sub
ject should be well studied. and col
lectiOns made in the field, enough to
go over. if fpossible, the authors ground.
The limits of present discovery will be
soon recognized, and line of further
progress can readily be mapped out.
There is yet plenty to he discovered
about the insects. The foot of fly.
for example, its structure, method of
use, properties. exudatiOn. ETC., would
form an excellent subject of study fora
long time. The student, if he faith
fully perseveres. is pretty certain to
hit upon something new. The micro
scOpic changes of the tissues and fluids
of the human body, in health and dis
ease, also invite research. This re-
quires vast patience, an excellent in
strument, and no small degree of skill;
but it offers results which, if gained,
will well repay expenditure of time
and energy.

Water and its Inhdbifdnts.-Th e
quality of water in relation to its fau-
ma and flora has been the subject of
investigation by some French Aca-
demicians. In substance. the results
seem to prove that water in which ami
mails and plants of higher organization
will thrive is fit TO drink and on the
other hand, water in which only the
infusOria and lower cryptOgams will
grow is unhealthy. IL the water be-
comes stagnant and impure, aquatic
plants OF the higher order will languish
and disappear, and the haif-suffOcated
fish will rise near the surface and crowd
together i'm parts where there may still
be little of the purer element trick
ling in, and il driven from these places
they soon die. Physd tontindiis will
only live in very pure water; rdfrdfd
piscindlis in clear water; limnGa Ordta
and stdgndlis and ptdROrbis mdrgindtns
in ordinary water; and finally, cycids
cOrnea and bithyRid impurd in water
of middlipg quality but no mOllusk
will live in corrupt water, Plants al
SO exercise reactive influence on the
quality of water. The most delicate
appears TO be the common water cress,
the presence of which indicates excel
lent quality. Veronicas and the float
ing water weeds flourish only in water
of good quality. The water plantain,
mints, loOsestrife, sedges, rushes, water
lilies, and many others grow perfectly
well i'm water of moderately good
quality. Some of the sedges and ar
rOwheads will thrive in water of very
poor quality. The most hardy or least
exacting in this repect is the common
reed.
