large shad, the juice of whole lemon.
Replace the bone, cover the dish with an

A Cubic Mile of Humanity.

The Scientific Amertcon says: A fanci-
full genius suggests that it is now time to
celebrate the completion of the first
cubic mile of humanity, and gives cal
culation to show that the bodies of all
mankind, from the first Adam down to
the Adam just born, if closely packed
without diminution of volume, would
exactly fill that space. Here are his fig
ures which our young mathematicians
who have nothing else to do may verify
if they can.
According to the orthodox chronology
the world has been inhabited about six
thousand years or one hundred and sew
enty generations. Its present popula-
ton is about fifteen hundred millions
but this density of population must
have been slowly reached, since all are
descended from an original. Conse-
quently he takes half the number of the
present seven hundred and fifty mil
lions, as the average population of the
world from the beginning until now, max
ing the aggregate of human bodies dur
ing the one hundred and seventy gener-
ations, one hundred and twenty seven
thousand five hundred millions Since
many die In infancy, and half are women,
the average weight of each body is taken
as seventy-four pounds. The aggregate
weight of all mankind to date must ac-
cordingly be four thousand two hundred
and twelve million tons, or little more
than the weight of a cubic mi e of sea
water Since the human body with the
lungs not inflated, is trifle heavier than
sea water, our calculator assumes that
his estimated four thousand two hundred
and twelve million tons OF humanity
would fill the same space as four thou
sand two hundred and five million tons
II sea water, or precisely one cubic mile
Taking the same figures and exercising
the same freedom in striking averages,
the automatically inclined may deduce
any number of amusing results. For
instance, assuming the average length of
humanity to be little under four feet
the bodies of all mankind, living and
dead placed end to end, would Just make
bridge from the earth to the SUM-

dreadful night that one evening John
came ashore from his barge to the cot
tage, where ] was staying with hi;
mother and had been ever since he had
brought me there, without seeing him to
speak to only to wave my hand to him
as he sailed by. That evening he came
and looked wis fully at me and said but
little, and at last his time was up and he
rose to go.
I walked down to his boat with him
and on the way he told me that he had
got leave to alter the name of his barge
and it was called the Prudence too; and
then, without word about the past, he
was saying goodbye, when | put my
hands IN hi and said quietly
q" John, dear, | haven't forgot my
promise"
"And you are alone now, Prudence
my lass" he cried eagerly.
"No, John, no." said softly, as the
tears ran down my cheeks; /" / never
shall be while you live"
Never, my lass, never" he cried
And you'll be my little wife?"
Yes, John, yes; | promised you"
when | come back from this voy-
age9
=" Yes, John, when you WILL" l said
and with one long hand pressure we
parted, and / went back to wait fol
another month, and then | was his happy
little wife,
And there seemed no change, for ]
was once more on the river or out at sea
leaning upon the tiller and gazing
straight before me, with the gulls wall
ing as they wheeled and dipped and
skinned or settled upon the water
while the soft wind gently stirred the
print hood that was lightly tied over my
wind-puffed hair Only bargeman's
young wife living on the tide, but very
happy; for John often points to the
great ships that pass us, with their cap
tains in their gold-laced caps, and as he
does so he whispers
=" Not with the best among them,
Prue, not with the best; wouldn't even
change places with king"
And if he is as happy as I, dear John
is right.

GLEANINGS FROM THE MUSE
THE VOICE OF THE PAST.

How sweet are those voices which speak from the
Past,
When the eyes Of affection are inwardly cast,
And we see as in vision the loved aud the missed,
The hands that we clasped and the lips that we
kssedi
How sweet were the voices that vibrated through
Our spirits, and answers of sympathy drew,
The voice Of the friend that once babe us aspire,
And played on our hearts, cen as on sweet Tyre,
With the words Of true counsel TO draw us from
grief
As the bud by the sunshine is turned to the leaf.
The voices of children now children no more,
Pale visions OF blossoms that fruit never Lore;
And often these voices will whispering come,
Not only when lone but mid lies busy hum.
Those voices remind us with pathos how real,
OF the days when in faith we undoubung could
knee,
Ere the tares of the world had entangled our way
And taught us to stammer where once we could
prayl
How touching these voices how tender, how dear;
How plai1ly they whisper, true peace is not herel
How fondly they lead to visions of peace,
How sweetly they tell LIES troubles will ceasel
Pay heed 10 these voices, the spirit they'd win,
OF syrens the true ones, from sorrow and sin;
OH heed them whenever they thrill through the
breast,
For the voice of the Past is the wisest and best

A Big Payment in Silver.

A report of the recent meeting of the
Maine Historical Society, in the Port
land Press, contains the following. "The
third paper of. the session, by Mr.. William
Goold, was an account of William Vaug-
han, of Piscataqua, Martinicus, and Dam
ariscotta Vaughan was the protector
of the Louisburg expedition of 1854, and
notable man in his day, having much
to do with Government and mercantile
affairs. The paper was awell-considered
article, clearing up some doubtful points
in colonial history, and bringing to
memory once more Others that had been
nearly forgotten. The unwieldly bulk
OF silver currency was shown by the
manner of reimbursement to the colonies
for their outlay in the Louisburg expedi-
ton. After three years delay the money
was paid, amounting to 91S3,700 1t
was landed from a ship-of-war at Long
Wharf, Boston, in the fall of 1749. in
the form of six hundred and ffty-four
ounces, or over twenty tons of silver,
and ten tons of copper coin. Silver then,
and up to the middle of the present CEN
fury, was the common standard and regu-
lator of values, but it was required to be
of honest weight. Although the amount
of the payment was only eight hundred
thousand dollars, it was contained in
two hundred and fifteen chests, and pro-
badly it required twenty-five two-horse
wagons to transport the silver alone from
the ship to the Province House. Except
$4,000, which belonged to New Hamp-
shire, the people of Massachusetts, APP
propriated this money, with further
sum from the Province Treasury, to re-
deem their deprecated paper currency
at its market value.

People generally desire long life ald good
health. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violations of the laws
that govern our physical being, and of which
the masses are ignorant II men knew bet
ter they would do better; but how can they
avoid an evil that they know not of? While
efforts are made through the public schools
to give each child so-called common Eng
lish education, yet the children are per-
mitted to grow up and enter upon the re-
sponsible duties of active life, profoundly
ignorant of the structure of their own
bodies, and the laws of physical being upon
which their health and lives depend. They
are sent to school and crammed with arith-
metic, grammar, and geography, by teachers
who, in many instances, have never studied
physiology and hygiene. They are taught to
locate the mountains and trace the rivers of
foreign countries, but are never taught to
locate the vital organs and glands of their
own bodies, or trace the veins, arteries and
nerves, in their various ramifications. They
are instructed in the flow of tides, and the
course of the ocean currents and the phi
losophy of winds and storms but they have
no correct conception of the relative effects
upon their health of breathing pure or i'm
pure air, nor has their attention ever been
called to the importance of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing.
The crminal1ty of such neglect in teaching
becomes apparent when we consider that
the masses, ignorantly violating the laws of
health, bring upon themselves sickness, suf-
fering, and death, that might otherwise be
avoided. In this condition of things we
welcome into being any work that is ca
culated to impart to the masses knowledge
of the structure of their own bodies, the
laws of health, and the importance of OBJ
serving those laws. We find DIR. Pierces
Common Sense Medical Adviser to be just
such work. tits physiological and patho-
logical, and the major part of it should be
converted into a textbook for the use of
common schools. Its careful study will en-
able the healthy to preserve their health,
and the sickly to regain hea tn. Every
parent should read it, and as their children
become of proper age instruct them in the
all-important truths it contains. Were
this done. much suffering and premature
death would be prevented, and many youth
saved from life of shame and licentious-
ness. The book contains nearly one thou.

EVERY good act is charity. Giving
water to the thirsty is charity. Remov-
ing stones and thorns from the road is
charity. Exhorting your fellow men to
virtuous deeds is charity. Putting a
wanderer in the right path is charity.
Smiling in your brothers face is charity.
A mans true wealth is the good he does
in this world. When he dies, mortals
will ask what property has he left behind
him; but angels will inquire, "What
good deeds hast thou sent BEFORE?

Birds of a Feather.
IFrcm .othern s New Book /

You remember" said Sothern,
that in one act | have a by-play on
my fingers, on which / count from one
to ten, and then reversing, begin with
the right thumb and count ten, nine,
eight, seven, six and five are eleven.
This has frequently been denounced by
critics as utterly out of place in the
character, but / took the incident from
actual life, having seen VIGOROUSLY
clever man on the English turf as
quick as lightning in calculating odds
completely puzzled by his ridiculous
problem. My distortion of the old
aphorism has likewise been frequently
caviled at as too nonsensical for an edu-
Gated man. Now see how easily this
thought was suggested. A number of
us some years ago were taking supper in
Halifax at performance, when a gem
tleman who had now retired from the
stage, but who is living in New York,
suddenly entered the room and said,
oh, yes, | see; birds of feather etc.
The thought instantly struck me on the
weak side, and, winking at my brother
actors, and assuming utter ignorance, |
said, What do you mean by birds of a
feather| He looked rather staggered,
and replied, What, have you never
heard of the old English proverb, "Birds
of a feather flock together ?' Every
one shook his head. He then sa d, i
never met such lot of ignoramuses in
my life That was my cue, and | began
to turn the proverb inside out. said
to him, There never could have been
snch proverb-birds of feather the
idea of whole flock of birds having
only one feather! The thing is utterly
ridiculous. Besides, the poor bird that
had that feather must have flown on one
side; consequently, as the other birds
couldn't fly at all, they couldn't flock
together. But even accepting the alb
surdity, if they hocked at all they must
flock togt ther and no bird could posi-
bly, be such a fool as to go into a corner
and try and flock by himself Our Wis
itor began to see the point of the logic,
and was greeted with roars of laughter
| made memorandum of tie incident,
and years afterward elaborated the idea
in writing Dundreary.' | have quires
upon quires of memoranda of similar
character, but whenever play the part
the public seem SO disappointed at not
hearing the old lines, that fear | shall

them to accept what would really be
