The Fuel of the Sun.

The matter from which the worlds
were formed came from the hands of
Omnipotence in it's most alternate state.
Throughout space there rolls a vast ocean
of this material, which science calls CO.'S
mical matter-star dust. It is to a con-
slant rain of this star dust and meteoral
ties into the sun that this heat is due. 1t
is law of matter that retarded motion
shall evolve heat. When we shoot ball
against rock It's surface VIII become
heated in proportion to the velocity of
the missile. So does the rain of matter
develop heat by its being retarded by the
suns surface. A fine example of the way
in which the fires Of the sun are fed,
may be seen in the fall of the meteoral-
ties upon the earth. These Migrants are
caused to emit light and heat by friction
during their passage through the air,
and by striking the earth. It is sad to
contemplate the end to which the de-
mand of the suns greed must inevitably
lead, for when the supply of star dust is
exhausted, and comets and meteors are
no more the planets will obey the stern
summons, and one after another fall into
the funeral pile of the worlds. Those
nearest the sun Will first respond, until
the most distant courtier will come at his
call to feed the last Pickering flame.
Then will he grow cold and hang in space
dead, cherries thing, the ashes of
great confagratiOn.

A BALTIMORE paper contains the fol-
lowing announce ent: :" Died, at the
residence of DR.. Samuel A. Mudd, near
Bryantown, Md, on the Dist day of
February, Edward Spangler, aged IS
years, native of Pennsylvania" The
reader need scarcely be told that Span
gler was one of the parties who was ar
rested for completely in the assassination
of President Lincoln. It will be remem-
bered that, at the time of the murder, he
was stage-carpenter at Ford's Theater.
Il was alleged against him that he took
charge of Booths horses, and arranged
to have way kept open for him in the
theater to escape. Spangler, in company
with DR.. Mudd and Arnold, was par
doned and released from his imprison-
ment at the Dry Tortugas about the
close of President Johnson's administra-
ton. About two years ago he took up
his residence with DR.. Mudd, with whom
he was on terms Of very close friendship.
OF the other parties, Booth was killed;
Harold, Atzerott, Payne, and Mrs. Sur
ratt were executed, and O'Laughlin died
at the Dry Tortugas.
