A pretty good story is going the rounds
Inv word of mouth. 1t is said thata trio
n members Of the Illinois Legislature
vent On a iamboree the other day, and,
having decorated the town with pigment
AZ eanruinary hue, concluded late In the
evening that they would have some oys-
tara '|here ia no oyster-house4 on the
south side Of Old Capitol square, pnT tne
lawgivers were not aware Of TINS. lney
were not fully posted, and seeing asign, as
they supposed, OF an oyster.hoase, lney
went up stairs and sat down TO around
table in a beautifully-furnished room: : a
gentleman very neatly dressed came inand
inquired: RAJ "a, ,,or qn
"Oysters for three, please" one Of the
triumyirate replied. "fii take a Dozen
%Gimme a half-dozen fried counts, " said
V "I'l ii take a dry stew, please" chimed IN
the third. The proprietor looked dazed
and worried, aud began:
"But, gent!emen-.- sue.
"Oh, we've got the dust. Needn't iret
about that!" exclaimed the man who was
standing treat. I'VE will pay in advance,
il you 50 desire,n and ,he laid a handful OF
silver on the table.
"But, gentlemen-"
"Cone. comeW cried the man impa-
tiently. ave are in hurry. "
HBlt, gentlemen, thisis no oyster-house.
t1 No Q oyster. hoasel" exclaimed the trio.
"Then Won had better taketin your sign OF
a biz oyster at the foot Of the ssairs."
Gsipn OF a big oyster! Why, gentlemen,
YOU are mistaken. This is the Office Of an
aurist. Ifyou want your ears doctored, l
am at your service. That sign IS an ear
mot an oyster" Then three members
ofthe Legislature looked sick and went
out to drink something strong.

celebrating the said two-hundredth anniver-
sary in manner worthy of the occasion. 1t
was an exec edingly appropriate time to bring
out a carefully written biography of "the
father of microscopic SCIENCE" whose repu-
.tation, great as it is, does not appear to be
quite equal to his merits. Though the mi
croscope cennot be said to have been invent
ed by Leuwenhoek, it was scarcely known In
his day in it's most rudimentary form, con-
sisting of single lens of very small dimen-
sions, and it appears certain that he made
all his own instruments. When we reject
upon the truly prodigious number OF these
tiny instruments thus manufactured in his
own house, the perfection he attained in the
then totally new art of preparing objects Tor
them, and the sagacity with which he stud
led those infinitely minute organisms, we can
hardly help admiring man who, by his own
unaided perseverance and the natural re-
esources of his keen intellect, rose to such
eminence as an observer of nature The cat
alogue of Leuwenhoek's instruments is still
in existence. At the time of his death there
were no less than 527 of these tiny micro
scopes, mounted in gold, IA in silver and
$50 in copper. They were sold by public
auction, realizing considerable sums OF mon
ey, and thus got dispersed over the world.
The weH-known microscope Gaudin, which
sells in Paris at the present day for the SUM
of about 3s 3D. to 5s., according to the
quality, and which magnifes the diameter OF
an object from 80 to 100 times, will give
| some idea of the simple instruments used by
| the old Dutch microscopist. Many OF Leu
wenhoeks little microscopes were presented
| by him to the Royal society of London, OF
which he was member, and a constant cor
respondent. In order to account for this ex-
| traordinary number of instruments, 1t must
be stated that when he made new d1scove-
nv, Leuwenhoek fixed the object to micro
| scope and shut it up in his collection; SC
| that every object of interest possessed its
| own microscope, from which it was never
| afterward separated. The marvellous dexter
| ity which he acquired in the manufacture OF
| his lenses could alone enable him to do this
| One of the said instruments sold by auction
| bears in the catalogue the number 1876, and
| the inscription states that ''the lens is made
| of a grain of sand and the object seen is also
| a grain of sand.' It is especially the his
| tological preparations-that is, the specl,
/ mems illustrating the structure Of animal and
vegetable tissues-that give US some notion
| of the wonderful perfection which the orlg1-
nal diseoverer of these structures had at
| tanned in microscopic analysis Thus, in the
| catalogue Just alluded to we find the hDllow-
| ing curious and interesting objects: "Blood
| corpuscles of man, - muscular fbres OF fish,
s'the fibres of the heart of Bird" ''t1ans-
versal section of the bladder in man and IN
| the bullock f" structure of the liver IN the
| hog" crystalline lens of the OK, ''paplst
| of the tongue" &c.

The last clause of St. John K, 10, 81 am
come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly," was the
text of clear, interesting and teaehing ser
mon from Professor Llewellyn Pratt, of
Hartford, at the morning service of the
United church The seventeenth chapter of
the same gospel was read the morning
scripture reading, being our Saviours last
PRAYER Just before his betrayal, mock trial,
and crucifxion. Most of it conveys the
same lesson as the text, and very fifty intro
duced the subject of the sermon, Eternal
Life" Human life, said the speaker, has the
qualities of first, vegetable life, such as
trees have; second, of animal, and third,
spiritual life The body derives nourishment
from the earth. 1t has power to grow by
such nourishment and to be sustained as
long as the proper food can be taken and
dieested for the support of life. If it be un-
able to take, appropriate and derive support,
death ensues But Christ so loved the human
race that he came from heaven that we
might have the new, the better, the divine,
eternal life of God, his creator, his father
eternal Herein mans life differs from, and
is superior to, other forms Of life. Net
renewed by Gods Holy Spirit, man
is spiritually dead. The whole race is like
the beasts which perish" The New Testa-
ment comes to us a revelation OF immortal
life Its constant teaching IS that While Nv
ing only such life we have in common
with trees and animals, we are spiritually
dead The gospel comes that we may have
life" Power and gladness come by the
gospel The life we lead, unrenewed
BY Gods holy spirit, is sort OF
dead life. Incontrast with spiritual life it is
death The professor related the transform
ing power of conversion in the case OF two
students in college whom he had known as
Young men of very ordinary and even less
than ordinary ability, dull and of no repute,
who were converted and Immediately became
good scholars, full of religious life and zeal
for GOOD work One became foreign mis-
sionary, devoting his life to the cause; the
other man of learning, of literary and civil
fame, honored and efficient in good work for
mankind. The power Christ's disciples had
to lay the foundations of Christianity, though
most of them unlearned and ignorant men,
and the characters of Peter and
IF Paul especially before and after
their conversion were adduced in illustration
of the renewing and life giving power of the
Holy Spirit Sabbath school, usual, was
held at the close of the service, the orphans
and their teachers adding to the full atten-
dance in the church and the school. The
singing of the full choir and congregation
was animated and excellent
