backward my memory wanders to night,
Into the shadows OF bygone years,
Parting the curtains, and bringing to light
The past, with its gladness and tears.
Things long forgotten, memories hushed,
Dreams had tenderly buried from sight
Longings Observation-Disclosures hopes crushed
OF sunshine and gladness-of shadow and
blight,
OF a sister g tears, and mothers prayers
Ut trials, temptations, and victories won
OF days OF brightness, and freedom from cares,
Or Of striving to utter "Thy will he done. "
And marvel much at the tangled skein
The parted curtains have lett in sight,
With threads OF gIadness and threads of pain
All mingled and twisted, the dark with the
light.
All strangely woven, these lives of ours,
With warp of gladness, anda wool Of pain =,
Yet the flowers would droop in the sunny
Were they never refreshed by the cooling
rain.
We wonder oft-times at the broken threads,
And nurmer at trials, and crosses we meet
He'er thinking it needeth each fragment and
shred
To render the pattern of life complete.
o, careful weaver is watching the loom
And though the web may seem jagged and
rough
Whether threads of glory or threads OF gloom
He knoweth the reason, and that is enough.

A. magnetic clock, invented by
Daniel Draw baugh of Midtown, Cum
berland county. Pennsylvania, is
sufficiently remarkable to be worth
description. The magnetism of the
earth, an inexhaustible source Of
power, is made to o. cillate the pen
dulum; and the simplicity of all the
works gives an assurance of the least
possible friction. At a certain point
the movements of the pendulum itself
shut off magnetic connection with the
earth, and at another point restore the
connection. thus securing the con-
ditions necessary to produce its
oscillations. The works are SO
ingenious and simple, that it is no
wild assertion to make that, were it
not for the unavoidable wearing out
caused by even the smallest amount
of friction, the clock would run as
long as the solid earth endures. This
clock is hung against board partition.

the Earrings of machinery and OBJ
structions from dust settling upon it.

change Of the salts Of iron in the
SEED to a sulphuret Of that metal; a
dark colored matter forming with the
ammonia turns the vegetable coloring
matter yellow, and the two c0lors
combined produce an olive. Again,
by taking split specimens of corn, or
other grains, and soaking them in a
tlncture of iodine, the limits of the
starch and dextrine will be distinctly
defined-the iodine striking an intense
blue with the starch, and deep port
wine red with the dextrine; so that,
from, this test. q rich violet (being
the combination of the blue and red
colors) will indicate the presence of
both the starch and the dextrine in
the grain. If the oil be extracted
from the trans parent horny part of
the corn by means of alcohol or ether,
the tincture of iodine will show the
presence of starch in that part of the
grain. associated with the gluten.
BY these means we may easily cause
any of our cereal grains to represent
to US the extent and precise limits of
its phosphates, iron, dextrine. starch,
and oil; and thus. by the eye alone, we
may form an approximate estimate of
the relative proportions of these in
gradients.
Among other curious results of some
experiments made by DR.. Jackson is
the proof that the relative proper
tons of the phosphates in grain de-
pend on the appropriating power of
each species of variety; for, an ea- of
corn having been selected which had
on it two different kinds. namely, the
Tuscarora and variety of sweet
corn, and these seeds having been
split and immersed in the same cop.
per solution, soon gave evidence that
there was more than double the
amount of phosphates in the sweet
than there was in the Tuscarora va.
riety. Now since the kernals came
from the same ear, and grew side by
side. they obtained unequal amounts
of phosphates from the same sap, de-
rived from the same soil. A crop of
sweet com will take twice as much of
the phOsphateS rs the other variety.
and consequently will sooner exhaust
the soil Of them.
Some interesting facts were observ-
ed, too, in the variable proportions of
phosphates in different varieties of
the same species of other grains.
The fact that the smaller grains, such
rs wheat, oats ana barley, contain SO
much less than Indian corn would
seem to explain their peculiar proper
ties as food for animals; the more
highly phosphate grain being more
likely to surcharge the system of
adult animals with the elements Of
bony matter. producing concretions of
phosphate of lime, like those result
ing from govt. Perhaps that Stiffness
of the joints and lameness of the feet
common in horses fed too freely with
corn may he accounted for by this
prepOnderance of the phosphates.
Young animals cannot fail to derive
more Osseous matter from corn than
from other food.

So the party rude back to the breth-
ren's house. but none Of the party would
enter: nor would they stop At all. Before
Monday had drawn to close, it was
generally known that Parson Rldewell
raced his horse on the Sabbath, and a
meeting of the church was appointed for
Thursday.
Poor Ridewell was almost crazy with
vexation; but before Thursday came,
Pompey found out how matters stood. and
he assured his master that he would
clear the matter up; and after DAVIS
search, he discovered the astounding fact
that some of those wicked men had been
in the habit Of stealing old Morgan from
the pasture, and racing him on Sabbath
afternoons! Pomp found out this much
but he could not find who did it!''
As soon as this became known to the
church, the members conferred together.
and they soon concluded that under these
circumstances a high melted horse
would be very apt to run away with his
rider when he found himself directly
! upon the track.
So ParsOn Ridewell was cleared, but it
was long time before he got over the
blow, for many were the wicked wags
who delighted to poster MIN by Offering
to "ride race" with him, to " bet on
his head" or to put him against the
world on q race" But Ridewell grew
older, his heart grew warmer, and finally
he could laugh with right good will
when he spoke of his unexpected race. Be
sure there Vas no more Sabbath racing in
that town.

mucilage. starch, and sugar, for the
sustenance of bulbs and buds. An
exception, however. may be found in
their secretion of honey, in the nec-
tdrinm or honey gland, which is of
great Importance in the vegetable
economy. In 1854, Tournefort recog-
nized its existence in the passion
flower and some other plants; and
Valiant. in 17l8, regarded it as q part
depending on the pc tails. Its name is
due to Linn@us, derived from nectar,
the tabled drink of the gods. In many
flowers the necfariuns is shaped like 3
spur or horn; in others, forms part
of the corOlla. lying within the sub
stance of the petals (lily); again, in
series or row within the petals, vet

sus; situated upon, or making a part

or tops of the stamina; placed upon

with others of so singular a construc-
tion. they do not properly fall under
any of the above descriptions. In the
PeLdrg0niun1, or African geranium,
the nectar is tube running down one
side of the flower stalk. In this honey
cup the secretion is exposed to the
open air previously to its absorption
into the vegetable vessels. A French
philosopher has endeavored to show
that the oxygen, or base of vital air,
is the constituent principle of our
power of sensibility. The sugar
making process carried on in vegeta-
BILE vessels is great source of life to
all organized beings. and cannot be
made from aerial mater without the
assistance of vegetation.
To return. this process of honey
making results in an accumulation Of
carbon or sugar in the nutritive
organs of the plant, which is con-
sumed by it's reproductive ones. The
Cucalia suareoisns produces honey in
such abundance that it may some
times be smelt at II great distance
from the plant. DR.. Darwin re-
marked that he had at one time
counted on one of these plants, mot
number, but above two hundred
painted butterflies, which gave it the
appearance of having so many adj
ditiOnal flowers" This honey forms
the food of the male and female parts
of plants. and the nectary begins and
ceases it's production with the birth
death Of those animated beings, the
st0nen's and pistils. or the parts of the
plants in which seems to be concen-
trated what may be termed the in
dividuality Of plant life.
The similitudes of vegetable and
animal anatomy will occupy our at
tention from this point. Il. c. X.
