preparation, but was agreeably surpris-

glass Of soda water. Having drank il

DISCOVERY or Al NEW EARTH

minerals gadolinite and samarskite,
found in America.
DISCOVERY OF NEW EARTH.
To one Of these, discovered by NJ.
Marc Delafontaine, he has given the
name philippium, and has shown that,
although closely allied 10 the already
Known metals yttrium and terbium, Il
still possesses characteristic properties
separating IL from these two bodies.
From the mineral gadolinlte M. Marig-
nae reports that he has extracted an
earth which at first he considered as err
bia, but which in reality is a mixture Of
two oxides. For this new earth he pro-
poses the name Of ytterbia, not only on
account OF its resemblance to yttria by
being colorless. but also 10 erbia by its
high equivalent, AS well rs its resenl-
blance TO those earths in most Of its
properties. The latest addition to the
metals belonging to this group OF earths
ID the extraction Of one by the chemist
already mentioned, nj. Delafontainc. To
which he assigns the name decipium.
In the department Of organic chemis-
try tho year 1873 will ever be remarka-
Bile for the discovery by Prof. Bayer, of
Munich, of what is termed among
chemists the synthetical preparation Of
indigo, the blue coloring matter con-
tanned in the plant isatis tinctoris found
in India. Although the chemical trans
formations by which this most interest
ing synthetical formation is brought
about are at present too costly 10 per.
init OF their mercantile application, they
still present, like the reactions of Graebe
and Lieberman, one Of the best exam
pies OF The powers placed in the hands
q The organic chemist by modern syn
lhetical research.

RICH MAN ON RICHES.

The following story, says the Hay-
side, is told Jacob Ridgway.a wealthy
citizen.ot Philadelphia who died many
years ago, leaving a fortune OF five or
six million dollars:
"Mr. Ridgway," said young man
with whom the millionaire was conver-
sing, "You are more 10 be envied than
any gentleman know"
"Why so T. responded Mr.. Ridgway.
II am not aware of any cause for which
| should be particularly envicd."
"What SIR exclaimed the young
man in astonishment. "Why, are you
not a millionaire Think OF the thou
sands your income brings you every
month y
"Well, what of that ?" replied Mr..
Ridgway. "All | get out OF it is my
yictuals and clothes and | cant eat moro
! than one mans allowance, or wear moro
than one suit at time. Pray; cant you
do rs much 2
"Ah, but" said tho youth, "thiuk OF
the hundreds of fine houses you own,
and the rental they bring you !
What better am | Oft Tor that" re-
Piled the rich man. %. can only live III
one house ut a time, as for the money
| receive for rents, why, cant eat or
wear it, can only use it to buy other
houses for other people to live in; they
are the beneticiaries, not |.
"But you can buy splendid furniture,
and costly pictures, and fine carriages
and horses-in fact, anything you de-
sire"
"And after | have bought them" re-
sponded Mr.. Hidgway, "what then :

is large amount of material besides
iron that enters into tie construction Of
steamship, and the duty on this, under
our protective tariff gives to the Clyde
shipbuilder an enormous advantage. 1t
is obvious that if the Clyde builders can
turn out an ocean steamship of the larg
est class for three hundred thousand dol
lars, whilst Mr.. Roach cannot build one
of similar tonnage and appointments Cor
less than half a million OF dollars, the
foreign shipowner starts with reserve
of capital which, in the saving of inter-
est and insurance, constitutes larger
item in his favor. As the tariff prevents
us from building cheaper ships, and as
we are prohibited by law from buying
ships abroad, we cannot enter into com.
petition tor the ocean-carrying trade, be-
cause in both ways we are haudi capped.

WHAT BOYS SHOULD HE.

First: BE truc-bo genuine. No ed
ucation is worth any thing that does not
include this. a man had better not
know how TO read, he had better new.
er learn letter OF the alphabet, and be
true and genuine in intention and in ac-
ton, rather than being learned in all
sciences aud in all languages, TO be at
the same time false in heart aud couu-
teririt in life.
Second: BE purein thought, language.
---pure in mind and body. An impure
man, young or old, poisoning the socie-
ty where he moves with smutty stories
aud impure examples, is a moral ulccr,a
plague spot, a leper who ought TO be
treated as were the lcpers of old.
Third: BE unsefsh. TO care for tho
feelings aud comforts Of others. To bo
polite. To be just in all dealings with
others. To be generous, noble, and
manly.
Fourth BE sclfreliant and SELF help
ful even from early childhood. To be
industrious always, and seli.supporting
at The earliest possible age. Teach them
that all honest work is honorable, aud
that all idle, useless life Of dependence
on others is disgraccful.
When a boy has learned these four
things, when he has made these ideas q
part Of bis being,-howoyer young be
may be, however poor, or however rlcb,
he has learned some OF the most ip,.
portant things he ought to know when
lac becomes a man.
