Fond of Statistics.

Some persons have q partially for

with German gentleman, who died at
Berlin at the age of "a years, As of
which had been passed as q clerk
in a government Office. Before quitting
the world he amused himself with cal
culatirg the amount he had. written
during nearly half q century, and this
was the result of his gigantic sum His
daily task consisted Of forty pages,
each containing twenty-four lines. Dur

functionary he had written 600, 600
pages, or more than 1900, 900 lines.
making about half a milliard of let
tiers, which, placed one after the other,
would have gone 800 times round Ber-
lin. The deceased, who was a very
methodical man, had, moreover, kept a
strict account of the amount
OF ink he had used. He cal
culated that, in tracing forty pages
per diem for forty-eight years, he had
consumed but large-sized pail Of ink.
He further estimated the exact amount
Of time spent in moving his hand to dip
his pen in the ink-stand, which, on his
own reckoning, made in all two months
out OF his life. One is inclined to
think, however, that with respect to
this last item in his calculations. he
could only have formed rough guess,
unless he always took just the same dip
OF ink, never wrote one word thicker
than the other-always, in short,

The Sun and the Moon.

In the German language, as is well
known, the genders of the sun and
moon are respectively feminine and
masculine, contrary to the rule of the
Roman languages, where, as in Latin,
The sun is masculine and the moon fem
mine. In our own language Shake
speare speaks of the moon as ''she :"
and in Egypt and Peru the sun and
moon were regarded both as brother
and sister and as husband and wife.
In Arabic, Mexican, Lithuanian, Slavon-
&c and Greenlandish, the moon and sun,
according to Grimm, are related as in
German. The variation of gender i'm
plies, of course, difference of thought,
but the fundamental conception that
gave them genders at all in language or
IN legend is clearly the same in either
case, namely, that the sun and moon
were actual human beings like our
selves. This thought still fingers in the
Upper Palatinate of Bavaria, where it
is still common, or was recently, to
hear the sun spoken of of Frau Some
and the moon as Herr Mo7ld. But yet
more strange than this is the fact that
In the same district the tale should still
survive, which accounts in the following
suggestive way for the genders of the
luminaries in question: The moon and
sun were man and wife, but the moon
proving too cold lover and too much
addicted to sleep, his wife one day laid
him wager, by virtue of which the
right OF shining by day should belong
in future to whichever of them should
be the first to awake. The moon
laughed, but accepted the wager, and
awoke next day to find that the sun had
for two hours already been lighting up
the world. As it was also a condition
and consequence Of their agreement
that unless they awoke at the same
fine they should shine at differeut
tines, the effect Of the wager vas asa, a
permanent separation--mueh to the
affection of the triGmphant sun, who,
still retaining a spouse-Iike love for
her husband, was and always is try
ing 10 repair the matrimonial breach.

Saith the white owl to the martin folk,
In the belfry tower so grim and gray:
Why do they deafen US with these bells?
Is any one dead or born to-day?'

And answered Grossly; "Why, amt you
