1t is common TO speak of the oppressed
debtof, but in most cases debt is volun-
tary thing. Few men incur it from neces-
sity. In the great majority of cases, men
who cannot pay their debts, especially
young men, might have been able to do SO
If they had not wasted their means. A
very small percentage Of debtors habitual-
ly cut down their expenditures to the low
est possible point. Indeed, they would
generally be considered "mean" if they
did so. The economies necessary for
man of small means to keep out of debt are
very petty in amount and in character.
They are inevitably annoying and irk-
some, and the strain on the will is con-
stant. 1t is quite easy to regard them as
contemplate. But they are in reality the
reverse of that. They are essentially noble,
and they add to, instead Of detracting FROM,
the dignity of the man who is capable of
them. The old law was based ON this fact,
and punished and degraded the man who
would not deny himself to pay his debts.-

what She Thought.
.George Eliot.

foolish little maiden bought foolish little bonnet,
with ribbon and feather and bit OF lace upon it
And that the other maidcns OF the little town might
know it,
She thought she'd go to meeting the next Sunday just
to show 1t.
But though the little bonnet scarcely larger than
dime,
The getting Of it settled proved 10 be the work Of
time;
So when twas fairly tied all the bells had stopped
their ringing,
And when she came to meeting, enough the folks
were singing.
So this foolish little maiden stood and waited st the
door,
And she shook her rufiss cut behind aud smoothcd

"HallelujAh Hallelujahv y sang the choir above her
head
"Hardly knew you! Hardly knew you!" were the
words she thought they said.
This made the little maiden feel so very very cross
That she gave her little mouth twist her little head
Atots;
For she thought the very hymn they sung was all
about her bonnet,
upon it.
And she would not wait to listen to the sermon the

But pattered down the slcut street and hurried up

Till she reached her little bureau, and in a bandbo1

The Connecticut river must have been
an immense stream during the melting of
the great glacier which formerly over
spread Southern New England. Accord
ing TO Professor Dana's latest investiga-
tions on the geology and physical history
of this region, the Connecticut was at that
period, river one hundred and fifty feet
or upwards in depth between Middletown,
Conn.,, and Springfield, Mass, with an av-
erage breadth of ffleen miles from Hart
ford 10 Turner's Falls. In the supplement
tary number of Sllliman's Journal for De-
cember, Professor Dana says that the causes
of this almost lake-like condition over this
region, can be explained only by assump-
tions, and he will not undertake their ex-
planation at present.

ST. PATRICK, the Apostle and Patron
Saint of ireland, was originally named
SLccath, until Pope Celestine bestowed on
him the name of Patricius. 1t is not def
nitely known where he was born, one an
cient history affirming his birthplace 10 be
France, and another claiming that Kilpat-
rick, Scotland, had the honor of giving him
to the world; but it is known that he died
in Ulster county, Ireland in the fifth CEN
tury. He early became a Christian mis-
sionary, and is generally credited with the
conversion of Ireland 10 the faith. He was
consecrated Bishop, aud his metropolitan
see was at Armagh, where he appointed
several other bishops, with whom he con-
suited as TO church discipline. Common
tradition in Ireland ascribes TO him many
superhuman attributes, and it is said that
he drove all the loads and snakes from the
country by curse. Certain it is that th ere
are very few toads and snakes left in Ire
land. He devoted the lands bestowed on
him to the foundation of churches, of clois-
ters, and of numerous monastic schools,
which hourished during The next three
centuries. He was jealous opponent OF
slavery, and was widely known for his be-
nevolence and charity. He baptized the
Kings OF Dublin and Munster, and the
seven sons of the king of Connaught, to-
gether with the greater part OF the people.
Before his death he had converted almost
all the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle 10
the Christian faith. By the patriotic sons
of old ireland, as well as by tho Catholics
ofall countries, bis memory is cherished
and his name honored. The 18th of March,
the day on which the Church keeps his fes-
tival, is set apart as day of rejoicing, and
celebrated in manner betting the men,
ory of so revered an apostle and SO worthy
a man.

AsTRoNoMIcAL.-On the 25th there will
be an annular eclipse OF the sun, which
will be visible in New England as par
tial eclipse. 1t will commence at flly-six
minutes after three in the afternoon, and
end at forty-seven minutes after Eve.
The planet Venus will be a conspicuous
object iD the western sky, increasing in
brightness and continuing longer above
the horizon throughout the month. She
passes the meridian between two and three
O'Clock in the afternoon, and is bright
enough to he seen at that time in the iull
daylight. On the 29th, she will be in con-
junction with the planet Mars.
The approach OF these two planets may
be easily traced, although the light Of Mars
is comparatively faint on account of his
great distance. This will be the third note
worthy conjunction between the planets
that has occurred within few months
the brilliant conjunction between Mars
and Saturn that took place in November,
and attracted so much attention; that be-
tween Venus and Saturn in January; and
the third will take place between Venus
and Mars on the 29lh.
Jupiter continues to be leading object
in the morning sky, slowly vending his
tortuous way through the constellation
Scorpio, and coming to the meridian about
four o'clock. He is still near the star Beta
Scorpii, but will recede from it till The l7th,
when he will again approach the star, be-
ing very near it on The 3ls,. There is now
fine opportunity for contrasting the plan
ct and the red star Antares in its vicinity,
while the whole cluster with its bright
planetary guest is sight we'll worth anti
cipating the dawn 10 behold. Mercury is
under favorable conditions for observation
from the 10th TO the 18th as the morning
star, and on the 18th is in conjunction with
Saturn, now also morning star. On the
Goth will occur the vernal equinox, when
equal day and night reigns over the globe,
and the season of spring in reality makes
its welcome adyent.-Prouidence Journal.
