The idiot boy had remained out of bed
in expectation of some catastrophe, and
when he saw the two vivid flashes and
heard the heavy reports he danced around
the village street, crying: Hoorah!
hoorah! for Hannah Griffiths and me,
Who's got black eye nowg Hooraht'
By this demonstration of crazy Dick
Hannah was suspected, and she made an
open confession of the terrible crime to
Coroner Peter Williams, stating, at the
same time, that she had been melted to the
deed by the double dream and the certain
ty that Samuel Grifliths had murdered her
twin brother. She was lodged in Flint
Castle to await her trial, but eyaded her
probable fate by neutrality-suspicious. Jour

An ingenious method of filtration has
recently been devised, by means of which
it is claimed liquid may be filtered in
one-fourth of the time which the operation
as usually performed requires. At the
bottom of an open glass tube about an
inch in diameter is placed piece of filter
muslin, secured round the tube by a
rubber ring. The tube is filled with the
liquid to be filtered and is closed at the
top with a rubber stopper through which
runs piece of rubber piping The tube
is connected with two bottles SO arranged
that the water in the upper one flows
down into the lower, forcing out the air,
which in turn runs through the rubber
pipe, forcing the liquid through the filter
ing material.
Immense quantities Of buttons, man
ufacturcd from pebbles, are produced in
Paris and,sent to almost every part of the
globe. These pebbles which are of crys-
tallized ielspar, containing as little clay
and lime or lime salts as possible, are re-
duced TO powder by heating them to
cherry red and then plunging them into
cold water. The powder is separated from
its impurities by being passed through a
wire gauze sieve, and is next well stirred
in water The residuum is treated with a
quantity Of hydrochloric acid, varying
from 3 to 10 per cent, to free il from
the oxide Of iron, which would give the
buttons reddish tnge in the baking
process. One hundred pounds of powder
are mixed with two Of chloride OF sodium
and four Of flour paste, dissolved in five
quarts Of water the whole IS then passed
through sieve and dried TO u proper con
sistency for molding
"A writer in Engineering contends that
for train signaling there has nothing yet
been brought forward that is superior to
the Binney electrical system. Briefly, it
consists OF a communication fixed in each
compartment of the Car, and battery and
bell IN the front and rear guards vans.
On pressing "a stud in the car, the guards
bells are rung electrically, and two disks
are mechanically projected outside the car
on either side-from which the signal
was made. A portion of the communi-
eating mechanism is brought into view by
the act Of signaling, and acts as an indi-
Gator OF the compartment whence the sig
nal was sent The special feature Of this
system, beyond the simplicity OF the ar
rangement, Is that the two conductors are
connected, one with both positive poles
and the other with both negative poles OF
the batteries, and until contact is made no
current can pass, and consequently no
waste is going on in the batteries.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

The faculty of Yale College have for
hidden the Sophomore secret societies on
the ground that they are productive Of in
subordination and other evils.
The American Sunday School Union
labors for the children and youth in the
needy and neglected places. During the
month OF May it organized and aided $50
Sunday schools in the Northwest, which
had membership of 5S1 teachers and
1851 scholars.
An ecclesiastical question of some i'm
pOrtance has been settled In Russia by the
elevation of secular priest--who had
been married-to the episcopate. BY an
Imperial decree the Arch-priest Marcel
Popiel, of the United Greek Church, was
made Orthodox Bishop of Lublin upon hi,
entry into the Russian Church.
The condition of the expelled nuns
in Italy is described as most pitiable.
Many of them, in their old age, are totally
without means or resource, and their
number adds to the calamity Charity
fails to relieve their distress, and those
whose lives were devoted to the succor of
the poor, the sick and the ignorant are
now without home or shelter.
An Ohio Superintendent sends this
circular to Sunday school absentees:
" We have missed you from your place
for several weeks. We are sorry to have
you stay away Won't you come as reg.
ularly as you can hereafter, beginning
next Sunday Don't let anything but
sickness or absence from town kecr YOU
from Sunday school, will you? Atlectio on

Bishop Cummins has letter from
clergyman in the island of Tobago, Brit

formation: Il am authorized by the
Leeward parishes of this island, namely,

Church, placing ourselves under your

been sent.
From the Association Notes" of the
Young Mems Christian Association it ap-

plOyment for S,721 persons SO hold daily

prayer meetings; ia conduct 1856 open

THE SCHOLAR AND THE WORLD.

In medieval Rome, know not where,
There stood an image with its arm In air,
And on it's lifted finger, shining clear,
golden ring with the device, "Strike
here"
Greatly the people wondered, though none
guessed
The meaning that these words but half ex-
Until a learned clerk, who at MONDAY
With downcast eyes was passing on his way,
Paused, and observed the spot, and marked
it WELL
Wherein the shadow of the finger fell;
And, coming back at midnight, delved, and
found
A secret stairway leading under ground.
Down this he passed into spacious hall.
Lit BY flaming jewel on the wall;
And opposite a brazen statue stood
With bow and shaft in threatening attitude.
Upon its forehead, like coronet,
Were these mysterious words of menace set:
"That which am, l am; my fatal aim
None can escape, not even yon luminous
fanlew
Midway the hall was fair table placed,
With cloth Of gold, and golden cups en-.
v tn rubies, and the plates and knives were
gold,
nd gold the bread and viands manifold.
Around it, silent, motionless and sad
We're seated gallant knights in armor clad,
AID ladies beautiful with plume and zone,
But they were stone, their hearts within were
stone;
And the vast hall was filed in every part
With silent crowds, stony in face and heart.
Long at the scene, bewildered and amazed,
The trembling clerk in speechless wonder
gazed;
Then from the table, by his greed made bold,
l1aA@ a l.r< r - IL
And suddenly from their seats the guests up
sprang,
The vaulted ceiling with loud clamors rang,
The archer sped his arrow, at their call,
SCATTERING the lambent jewel on the wall,
And all was dark around and overhead;
Stark on the floor the luckless clerk lay dead!
Its ghostly application in these words:
The image Is the Adversary old,
Whose beckoning finger points to realms of
gold;
Our lusts and passions are the downward
That leads the soul from diviner air;
The archer, Death; the flaming jewel, Life;
Terrestrial goods, the goblet and the knife;
The knights and ladies, all whose flesh and
BY avarice have been hardened into stone;
The clerk, the scholar whom the love of pelf
Tempts from his books and from his nobler
self.
The scholar and the world! The endless
strife,
The dscord in the harmonies OF life!
The love OF learning, the sequestered hooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books;
The market-place, the eager love of gain,
Whose aim is vanity, and whose end is pain!
