why Americans Die,

"When we learn that in the year 1880
the death rate in New York was &c. As to
1000 inhabitants, that in the year 1881
the rate was 81. 0S per 1000, while in
London for the same period the average
death rate was %. IA, and that FORTY
eight cities in the United States during
the same time exceeded the death rate
of New York, it becomes us to ask.
Why are Americans dying out?' In
1881, in this city. there were II. 494 more
deaths than births, and in the months of
January and February, 1882, the deaths
exceeded the births by 2,446. In Lon
don, during the year 1880, there were
81, 12S deaths and 49,, 12S births. or 81 :
047 more births than deaths. / have
considered these facts worthy of close
attention. One reason why Americans
are dying out is because they eat too
much and too fast A person studying
closely the habits Of Americans would
think that their object In life was to eat
Americans can't converse five minutes
without something to eat. Another rea-
son why Americans are dying out is be-
cause they drink too much. The curse
of our nation is intemperance. A third
reason why Americans are diving out Is
because they gamble too fast. We are
becoming q nation of gamblers. This
spirit of gambling Is undermining all
honest industries. Another reason is
disappointed ambition. We are nation
of rivals. Each man desires to lead his
fellows. A Republic has many bless
ings, but it possesses one disadvantage
the failure to satisfy the grasping ambi-
ton of its teeming millions. The last
reason for Americans dying out is their
false standard of success, money. If
man In Europe fails In business, or loses
his money by some unexpected calamity,
his friends will still remain true to him,
as rule. But in this country let man
lose his fortune by adversely, and he is
quickly forgotten. We should not gauge
the amenities and duties of life upon
persons bank book. for in doing SO we
introducethose causesof Encouragement,
inaction and national death which will
not only make Americans die out, but
every nation under the sun. "-Rev.
George w Gatlager, of Net0 York.

Distance Of the Sur and Moon.

There are several methods of determ-
ming the suns distance from the earth,
some of which it would be difficult to
explain satisfactorily to the reader not
already familiar with the subject of the
terms used. The refined Investigations
of modern science, says Professor New
comb, have brought to light other
methods, by at least two of which we
may hope, ultimately, to attain greater
degree of accuracy than we can by
measuring parallaxes. OF these two.
one depends on the gravitating force Of
the sun upon the moon, and the other
upon the velocity of light. And the
same author says, in regard to measur-
ing the distance of the sun by the veloc-
lty of light: "There is an extraordinary
beauty in this method of measuring the
suns distance, arising from the contrast
between the simplicity of the principle
and the profoundness of the methods by
which alone the principle can be applied.
Suppose we had messenger whom we
could send to and fro between the sun
. and the earth, and who could tell on his
return, exactly how long it took him to
perform his journey suppose also we
knew.the exact rate of speed at which
he travelled. Then, if we multiply his
SHSS0 ~ liz eAAAc AZ tOOh llIu 10 &c 10
the sun, and we shall at once have the
suns distance. just as we could determ-
inc the distance of twocities, when we
knew that train running thirty miles
an hour required seven hours to pass
between them. Such messenger is
light. 1t has been found practicable to
determine, experimentally, about how
fast light travels, and to find from astro-
nomlcal phenomena how long it takes to
come from the sun to the earth. In
1862 Foucault found by experiment that
light travelled about 29S, 900 kilimeters.
or lS5, 200 miles per second. In 1874
Cornu found by different series of ex-
periments velocity of 300. 400 kilome-
ters per second In 1879 Ensign A. A.
Nicholson, q. S. Navy, found the veloc-
lty to be 299, $40 kilometers per second.
The result of Michelson's is far more
reliable than either of the proceeding
ones. Combining them all, Professor
ID. p. Todd, In 1880, concluded the most
probable value of the velocity to be
299, 900 kilometers, or 1S6, 800 miles per
second. Now, we know from the phe-
nomena of alteration that light passes
from the sun to the earth in about 49S
seconds. The product of these two
numbers gives the distance of the sun
In miles. These two methods of
determining the distance of the sun NAV
fairly be regarded as equal in accuracy
to that by transits of Venus when they
are employed in the best manner.

The pcspondcnt Girl.

rather singular marriage occurred
in this village a short time ago, and one,
too, which promises to be happy one,
Notwithstanding the fact that it was not
even dreamed of by the parties interested
an hour before it occurred. A young
gentleman met a young lady OF his ac-
quaintance, who is employed in one of
the hat shops on the street, and in con-
versation the young lady stated that
everything had gone wrong with her at
the shop that day and that she had the
' blues" terribly; in fact, she was about
ready to give up the fight for existence.
The young man responded that she could
triumph over all her difficulties by NOR
rying him, and this meeting her views
the young couple started for the nearest
minister and were married. They are
now keeping house and living as happily
as though they had spent years in love
making and trying to find out whether
they were adapted to each other.-Aid-
