Parsons Monde riul Memory.

Richard P0rson had remarkable

the gentleman seemed q good deal
disappointed, Parson inquired if he
wanted to consult any particular
page. The gentleman mentioned

DOING at the other end of the coach,
awoke ut the familiar sounds and
drawing a copy Of Euripides from
the folds Of his cloak, politely asked
him to favor him with the passage.
The student could not and the
ladies began to litter. Reddening,
the youth said on second thoughts,
the passage, he YVES sure, was in
Sophocles. Porson thereupon pros

Woman In Sickness.

In no situation, and under no cir
| cumstances, does the female character
appear to such advantage as when
watching beside the bedside of sickness.
The chamber of disease may indeed be
said to be woman's home. We there
behold her in her loveliest. most attrac-
tive point of view-firm, without being
harsh; tender, not weak; active, not
quiet: gentle, patient, uncomplaining.
vigilant. Every sympathetic feeling
that 50 peculiarly graces the feminine
character, is there called forth while
the native strength of mind which has
hitherto slumbered in inactivity, is
aroused to its fullest energy. With
nOiseless steps she moves about the
chamber of the invalid; her listening
ear ever ready to catch the slightest
murmur; her quick, kind glance to i'll
terpret the unuttered wish, and supply
the half-formed want. She smoOths
with careful hand the uneasy pillow
which supports the aching head, or
with cool hand smooths the fevered
brow, or proffers to the glased and
parching lip the grateful draught, happy
if she meets one kind glance in pay
ment for her labor of love. Hers, too,
is the low-whispered voice, which
breathe of life and hope-of health in
store for happy days to come; or tells of
better and of heavenly rest, where
neither sorrow nor disease can come
where the dark power of death no more
shall have dominion over the frail,
suffering, perishing clay. Through the
dim, silent watches of the night, when
all around are hushed i'm sleep, it is hers
to keep lone vigils, and hold communion
with her God, and silently lift up her
heart in fervent pryer. for prolongment
of life for which she would cheerfully
sacrifice her own. And when, exhaus-
ted, she sinks to brief repose, forgetful-
ness is denied. Even in sleep she seems
awake 10 this one great subject of her
care. She starts and rises from her
slumbers, raises her dropping head, and
watches with dreamy eyes the face she
loves, then sinks again to rest, to start
with every chime of clock or distant
sound, which formerly had passed un-
heard, er only served as lullaby to her
sweet sleep.

Preservation of Books.

Books and papers, as they are now
printed, are very short-lived, and the
chances are that no existing print will
be preserved thousand years, if mat
tiers take their ordinary course. We are
indebted to the Scientific American for
pointing out this danger. This journal,
concerned lest our remote posterity,
five, ten, or fifty thousand years hence
should not retain anv literary record of
these days, suggested a short time ago
that an effort should be made to put into
imperishable form works of modern
civilization, and store them away in a
secure place for future ages. In answer
to this appeal of the inventive powers. a
correspondent of the Scientific American
proposes this plan: Varnish on both sides
the printed sheets to be preserved, and
then, by the application of heat and
pressure. mould them into solid blocks.
This done, the blocks might be placed
in earthen vessels, and covered with
melted copal (Which is proved to have
great durability Thus the ideas of the
present age might be fossilized, and lay
away in their integrity for the enter
tainment and delight of ages to come
Ii is proposed to bury these embalmed
and precious words under public build
ings. There is one objection to this
plan. No body of men could possibly
be made TO agree on what books it would
be desirable to preserve, and what
merited oblivion.

Divisions of Time.

~ i well known. the methods of di-
viding time vary i'm different parts of the
world. The Chinese. who begin their
day at midnight, aud end it on the mid
night following, divide the interval
into twelve hours. each equal to two of
ours. and known by name and par
ticular figure. In the Turkish empire
! time Is reckoned by certain portions of
the natural day, resembling the
watches" of the ancient Jews and Ro-
mans. Public clocks not being used
these divisions of time are now pro-
claimed from the minarets. The various
ancient divisions of the day differ widely
from the customs of our own time
Chaldeans, Syrians, Persians and
Indians begin the day at sunrise, and
divide the day into four parts. The
divisions of the day into quarters was
in use long before the divisions into
hours. 1t was only after the first sun
dial was brought from Catania, in Sicily,
TO Rome, that the Romans divided the
days into twenty-four hours. They
called the time between the rising and
setting sun the natural day; and the
time in the twenty-four hours. They
began and ended their civil day at mid
night, and took this practice from their
ancient laws, and customs, and rites of
religious use, long before they had any
idea of the divisions into hours. The
Greeks divided the day into twelve
hours-a practice derived from the
Babylonians, while in Egypt the day
was divided into equal intervals of
time.
