The Old Pod Anger Days.

[Josiah D. Charming in the Bangor Whig.I
/ saw an aged man at work,
He turned an auger round.
And ever and anon he'd pause,
GOOD morning. friend. qnoth to him
Art thinking when to rdtSe!
ION no. said he. I'm thinking on
The old pod anger days
''True, by the hardest then, we wrought.
With little extra aid;
On honor were the things we bought,
On honor those We made;
And now invention stalks abroad,
DECEPTION dogs her ways;
Things different are from what they were
In old pod anger days.
"Then homely was the fare we had
And homespun what We wore;
Then scarce niggard pulled the string
Inside his cabin door.
Then humbugs didn't fly 30 thick
AS half the world to haze;
That sort of bug was scarcely known
In old pod auger days.
Then men were strong and woman fair
Was hearty as the doe:
Then few 30 dreadful feeble were,
They couldn't knit and sew.
Then girls could sing and they could work
And thrum gridiron lays;
That sort Of music took the palm
In old pod anger days.
"Then men were patriots-rare indeed
An Arnold or Burr;
They loved their country, and in turn
We're loved and blest by her.
Then Franklin, Sherman, Rittenhousa
Earned well the Eation's praise
We've not the Congress that we had
In old pod auger days
"Then slow and certain was the word:
Now devil the hindernost take;
Then buyers rattle down the tin;
Now words must payn ent make;
Then murder doing ylIIaiuS soon
We're Cecked in hempen bays;
We didn't murder in our sleep
In old ped anger days.
$50 wags the world; It's well enough,
If wisdom went by steam,
But in my day she used to drive
plain old fashioned team;
And justice with her banda9e on
Can now see choice in ways;
She used to sit blindfo1d and stern
In old pod auger days"

An Approaching Glacial Period.

Prof. Paige, of Illinois, has in a late lecture
declared that the belief is rapidly growing that
the great ice period which had ground the
remote in the planets history. The almost
universally accepted opinion had been, he
said, that the great Ice caps had been formed
by climate rendered extremely cold through
changed cosmic relations. 1t was known that
the eccentricity OF the earth's path around the
sun was subject at long periods to considerable
change, resulting in removal, at times, OF the
planet some 15000.000 miles further than il
now is from the sun. The earth's eXtraordi-
nary apheliOn, added to such alterations as are
attributable TO the possession of the equinox
was thought to have produced the great ice
been held by divers savants that man has ill.,
habited the globe about 20oO,0 600 years, an
opinion from which Paige dlSsentS as not liz
harmony with the drift CT contemporaneous
Hemisphere. We are %, 000, coo miles nearer thc
sun than during summer, which tends to
equal'Ze our climate, rendering Winter much
milder and Summer less intense than they
would be were the conditions reversed. In the
Southern Hemisphere the opposite is true.
There people. being nearer the sun in Summer
and urther off in Winter, have cold Winters
and hot Summers. At the South Pole the ice
Is vastly in excess OF the ice at the North Pole.
and attracts, therefore, the waters of the ocean,
changing the equilibrium OF the earth'S centre,
moving the Equator southwark and drawing
the waters Of the North Pole toward the South
Pole This explains the evident subsidence of
waters in the Northern, and the comparative
absence of dry land In the Southern Hemis-
pheIe. Ii the ice ages can be traced TO such
causes. a glacial period is approaching the
Southern Hemisphere and Will, 1t is estimated
reach its maximum ABOUT $500 years hence.
The last ice era in the Northern Hemisphere
was probably not far from $50 centuries ago.
Paige maintains that, if these views be correct,
the ice period will recur In about 10000 years In
the Northern Hemisphere. Granting the hypo-
thesis the time OF mans existence on the globe
mUSt he conceded TO have been far shorter
than has been supposed-not more, in all like
lihood. than from $4,000 to 100, 900 years. While
the question is OF great Importance scientih-
caIly, the human family has greater interest In
knowing how long 1t is to remain on the planet:
but even this is OF small concern to individ-

A BURGLAR SHOT BY A PAPER BAG.-A man
who called at DR.. Thomas Ii. Andrews house,
HI Spruce street, on Tuesday afternoon, On
pretence OF consulting the physician, con-
cealed himself In the parlor until O'Clock
yesterday morning. when he began pedes
uian tour OF the apartment In search of
plumber. He made noise which awakened
DR.. Andrews, who discovered that he had loaned
his revolver. Taking an empty paper bag and
inflated it from his lungs and creeping down
stairs overlook the intruder as he came from
the parlor. With a shout the doctor exploded
the paper bag upon the stair railing making
terrific report and frightening the stranger so
that he tumbled upon the floor, thinking he
had been fired at. He appealed for mercy. DR..
Andrews sent one of the servants after po-
liceman and demanded from the captive his
name and the object OF his visit He said his
was George Campbell. book agent, and De-
longed in Camden. He asked for mercy On ac-
count Of his wife and children. Suddenly he
sprang from DR.. Andrews grasp and ran down
Twelfth street, pursuit by the physician being
unadvisable on account OF his raiment. The
fugitive left behind him book, containing the
names OF number Of prominent persons as
subscribers to an edition OF Shakespeare, OF
which a sample copy was enclosed In the book.

One of the most curious objects IN
Edison's laboratory is an electric Light
that has been completely submerged in
bath of water for several weeks. 1t Is
designed for submarine work, and as
an assistance to divers in prosecuting
! their work in recovering sunken treas
ures, and in patching up sunken ships
so that they may be raised.
So constantly is Mr.. Edison abb
sorbed in his electric problems that
his assistants say that he would forget
to eat his meals and 60 to bed II he
were not reminded of those things.
The other day, while returning from
New York, he alighted from the train
at Mcnlo Park, forgetting that he had
left his little daughter aboard. As the
train was about to start on its way to
Philadelphia, the conductor recognized
the child. care you not Mr.. Edi5on's
little girl ?" said he. Yes, sir J" she
answered. The conductor led her TO
the platform. Some distance ahead her
father was seen fastening to his labora-
tory, entirely forgetful of bis negli-
gence.

The Light in Menlo Park.

New York Sum- Jan. IL
e'There's Edison's light!' exclaimed
a passenger in train that stopped at
Menlo Park last evening, and rush to
one side of the car resulted Two
bright lights glowed upon lamp-posts
standing on the elevation opposite the
railway station, and these were re-
garded with much interest and curiOs-
ity by the travellers. The Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad conductors say that this
is a nightly occurrence on the road. In
fact, passengers bound to Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington are often
unable to withstand the temptation to
see the electric apparatus in the bril-
liantly illuminated laboratory in the
distance, and remain for the next
train.
Mr.. Edison says that all the lights
are as brilliant as when first set up,
and certainly they show no less of in
tersity to the ordinary observer. So
pleased is he with what he considers
his almost phenomenal success in the
carbon principal. with incandescence
instead of the voltaic arc, that he pro-
poses soon to establish at least one
station in this city-that is to say, a
station that will supply the buildings
on radius of onc-third of mile. Just
how soon this will be he is unable to
say, but he says he believes that he
has great surprise in store for those
who do not believe in his light. Either
the ground floor, cellar, or sub-cellar of
an ordinary building will, he says, be
sufficient for his purpose. In this he
will set up powerful steam engine, a
dynamo machine, and several genera
ators. Thence insulated wires will be
let out to Q uuuber Of buildings, spd
