Ireland.

Ireland is land of such antiquity that
puzzled historian, looking through the
records, laments, ITO give an account of
the first inhabitants of Ireland, am
obliged to begin at the creation of the
world" Naturally there clings about it
a wealth of legend and tradition rival
ing that of far Eastern countries.
Upon the authority of st. Fintan, a
convert of St. Patrick, it May be affirm
ed that Ireland was colonized before the
flood. Geraldus Cambrensis heard the
story during the twelfth century, and
duly noted it. The annals Of Ireland,
by James Grace, prepared in the reign
of Henry VIII, enlighten the reader
fully as to the fact. 'Cesarea, niece of
Noah" he writes, ''aware of the coming
of the flood, sailed for Ireland, and was
the first person who landed there. She
was accompanied by three men only,
and she hoped that this land alone, see
ing it uninhabited and waste, would be
saved from the Divine judgment which
the sons of men were bringing on the
rest of the world" Unfortunately we
have no further information, except that
the lady protector of these three men
came to Littus Navicularum, wherever
that may have been. 1t is conjectured,
however, that this quadruple alliance
was dissolved unpleasantly by the rising
of the water.

Once upon time says writer in the
Pail Mall Gazette, a young Englishman of
good birth and connections was reward
ed the attention of very pretty girl.
After they had mutually gone through
such preliminaries of courtship as are to
be performed by willing minds at dis
tance, they ultimately had speech of each
other. Then said the young lady, who
was tall and upright as wand, 81 gen.
orally come hither about halfpast one in
the afternoon" Having thus spoken, she
looked down with an unconcious grace
and wrote upon the ground with her um-
brella, for the weather was uncertain,
and Though in love she was not without
forethought. Hang it! that is unlucky, y
replied the young gentleman of good
birth and valuable connections: 1--WE
lunch at one o'clock" OF this brief epi-
sode in the career of two British lovers
the moral is that neither of them would
sacrifice their convenience or regular
habits to the vanities of amatory dis
course.

A CANTON TO Young Men.

A young medical student from Michi-
gan, who had been attending lectures in
New York for some time, and considered
himself very good looking and fascinat-
ing, made deadly onset on the heart
and fortune of blooming young lady
who was boarding in the same house with
him. After prolonged siege the lady
surrendered. The same afternoon the
young wife sent for and exhibited to the
astonished student beautiful little
daughter" three and half years of
age.
Good heavens! then you are wi
dow" exclaimed the astonished student.
Yes, my dear; and this is Amelia, my
youngest; tomorrow, Augustus, James
and Reuben will arrive from the country
and then l shall have all my children to-
gether once more"
The unhappy student replied not a
word; his feelings were too much for ut
terance. The next day the "darlings"
arrived. Reuben was six years old,
James nine, and Augustus saucy boy of
twelve. They were delighted to hear
they had new papa," because they
could now live at home and have all the
playthings they wanted. The new pa
pa, as soon as he could speak, remarked
that Augustus and James did not much
resemble Reuben and Amelia.
"Well, no." said the happy mother,
my first husband was quite different
style of man from my second-complex-
ion, temperament, color of hair and eyes
all different"
This was too much. He had not only
married a widow, but was her third hus-
band, ana. the astounded step-father of
four children.
The conceit was now quite taken out
of the Michigander, who, finding that he
had made complete goose of himself,
at once retired to farm in his native
state, where he could have chance to
render his "boys" useful, and make them
sweat for the deceit practiced upon him
by their mother.

The Migration Of Weeds.

Prof. Claypole of Montreal gives long
list of weeds which have migrated from
Europe to America, and become so thor
oughly naturalized as to prevail over
some of the plants native to the soil; {;
while only three or four American weeds
have crossed the Atlantic and become
natrualized in Euaepe. This marked
difference in the migrative power of the
two foras, as he showed, could not be
considered as fully accounted for by any
difference in climate between the two
continents, or by the conditions of their
mutual commerce. But he suggests that
that the American plants had not chang
ed much from the type existing in the
western hemisphere during the miocene
period, while those of Europe have been
vastly altered; the long persistence OF
type of the American plants might Eave
induced rigidity or indisposition to
change, as the Elasticity thus shown to
be characteristic of those of Europe
might make them better able than Others
to adapt themselves to strange climate
and conditions.

A New Discovery.


A discovery in chemistry has just been
published which bids fair to influence
agriculture in a manner that may well
be described as revolutionary. 1t must
soon compel the attention of farmers and
manufacturers of artificial manures all
over the world. The essential part which
ammonia plays in vegetation need not
be dwelt upon, and no one will question
the desirability of securing it cheaply
and in quantity. The Importance of the
recent feat of Messrs. Hickman and
Thompson of England, disclosing a plan
by which ammonium sulphate can be
made and sold with profit at two cents
pound, will not, therefore, be liable to
be under estimated. The following ac-
count of the process is taken from the
Chemical NeaCS: within the last twen-
ty years the manufacture of ammonia
synthetically has been several times
attempted, and though in every attempt
it is probable that ammonia has been
made, it has never been paoduced on
commercial scale. In all these attempts
the process has been to combine the nitro
gen and hydrogen directly at low tenn
perature, and receive the ammonia in
solution in water, or by substitution,
first forming cyanide at a higher heat,
and then indirectly producing ammonia
by the decomposition of the cyanide, the
result in both cases being ammonia in
solution with water. Hickman and
Thompson's procedure is altogether
different; they produce ammonium chic
ride direct, either in dry powder or in
solution, and this by the simplest and
most inexpensive means. Instead of
employing retorts, as in all other cases,
rhey merely use a closed brick furnace,
the ash-pan of which regulates the sup
ply of air, and they cause the vapor of
water to be produced by the waste heat
of the furnace itself. With the excep-
tion of about a bushel of coke for starting
the furnace, the deodorizing material and
only fuel used is coal-dust. The great
difficulty in making ammonia from the
nascent hydrogen of water and the nitro
gen of the air is the restricted limits of
temperature between generation and de-
composition, 1t being necessary that
carbon, however used, should be at full
red heat to decompose the vapor of water,
and at bright red heat to decompose
ammonia. Now, ammonium chloride
under the same conditions is simply
volatilized and not decomposed. As
chloride of sodium OF of calcium is de-
composed at full red heat in presence
of nascent ammonia, therefore one of
these chlorides is mixed with the coal
that ammonium chloride may be formed !;
so that if by chance the heat should be
raised to a bright red, no loss will be sus-
tained-the ammonium chloride is simply
volatilized. By these means greater
range of working temperature is obtained.
At the present time, with the consump-
ton of from twenty to twenty-eight
pounds of coal-dust and salt mixed,
from two to three pounds OF ammonium
chloride is formed"

The Earth's Day Increasing.

In recent lecture on ECLIPSE Prob
lems," Prof. Chas. A. Young, of Prince
ton, said, with reference to the observed
increase in the rapidity of the moons
motion, that the discovery led at first to
the opinion that the moons orbit was
growing shorter, and that ultimately the
moon would come down upon us. More
accurate calculation, however, shows
that there is no danger of SO disastrous a
result. The moon is not coming nearer,
but our day is growing longer, owing to
the friction of the tides upon the earth's
surface. The tides act like break, and
slowly diminish the speed of the earth's
rotation.

RiZpah's Lullaby.

Sleep, sleep-the south wind blows,
Rocking the bee in the thornless rose;
The baby birds have gone to bed
The drowsy blue-bell hangs her head
Blue-bell and baby-bee and rose,
.Sleep-the south wind softly blows;
The tide ebbs-the tide flows
Night comes-night goes;
While the stars their still watch keep
Lullaby, baby-sleep-sleep!
Hush, hush, thy restless cries,
Close the drowsy, blue-bell eyes;
On thy mothers love-warm breast
Fold thy hidden wings and rest;
Till the blossom eyes unclose-
Sleep; the south wind softly blows
In the mother-heart, my rose,
Love comes, but never goes
Mother-love has tides so deep
Lullaby, baby-sleep-sleep!
