The setting aside of the will of the late
A. u. Ditmars Of Lancaster, who left $780,
600 ,.to ascertain what children were Gre
ated to do, leaves it for some one else to
try to develop his curious idea. One of
the features of the institution which he
hoped to found was q room containing
musical instruments, tools used in tire
various trades, and other appliances
When child was brought to be entered
into the institution it was to be taken into
this room and its actions Observed. II
the little ones inclination led it to the
musical instruments, it was to be educated
as a musician. If its desires tended to-
ward the plane and the saw, carpenters
trade would be taught it, and so on
through the list of occupations.

An EAGLE in the interior Of New York,
being Of unusual size, foolishly considered
that be was able TO carry off calf which
he discovered strayirg. The cali was too
heavy for removal but probably the eagle
would have killed il with the fierce strokes
OF his bCak aud talons had lot the calls
cries attracted help. The eagle was dis
abled with a shotgun and captured alive.
He measured upward of n'no and half
feet from tip to tip of his outspread wings
IL he had measured half as much he would
not have tried the impossible, and would
probably be a free eagle to-day. Great
power is frequently dangerous posses
sion. II is the small eagle that knows
enough not to try to fly away with calf.
Too many persons have q happy-go-
lucky way Of looking at life. If they de-
sire anything they pr0cui it without the
slightest regard to the eXpediency Of the
purchase or the state Of their exchequer.
Ii the thing is wanted, it must be had :;
something must be curtailsd later on to
make up for the money when il could i'll
be spared. The tower IS built before the
cost is counted, and the end is bitterness
of spirit and distress OF mind. There is
| no way Of living within umOderatc income
except by rigid account keeping. Some
| one says "OGl What is the use Of both
| ering about accounts? No r.ght-minded
person of, moderate means would buy
! things for which she can not pay, nor
wouM her housekeeping cost more than
she eau atToGd.". Granted, in some special
cases bat the great majority are not cafe
full to spend penny less than their in
come. An account book conscicntiously
kept is II bulwark of strength, showing as
it does every article needed for the proper
| maintenance of q family, with the cost
thereof. Young persons contemplating
housekeeping should apportion their in
come and live strictly within the limits of
the amount set apart for each subdivision
Of domestic expenditure This is the only
safe rule, and it should never be violated.
Peace if not happiness will be secured by
its observance. 1t is very certain that
unle. S the outGo be carefully watched it
will exceed the income. "but if the in
come be not adequate to the means of a
refined taste, how can one live within it?'
The answer to this is very simple: Prac.
tice seli-denial and leaIn to manage. The
family, if unable to bring up the income
to its requirements must live down to the
facts Of the case. Persons brought up il
luxury aud with tastes of the utmost re
finement are very frequently compelled
by reverses to change their mode of living
from affluence to comparative poverty
Although obliged to perform menia
offices, to live in humble houses, they
never give up the thousand and one grace'
that cost nothing and go so far TO beauty
life. Their meals, though plain, are daint
lily served, and their simple toilets art
tastefully made and becoming.

able, by subjectmg them 10 analysis, TO.
derive from them some precise facts re-.
specting the constitution of the bodies in
space. The first fact, which Genes QUIT
from hundreds Of analyses Is, that they
have not brought a single instance which
is foreign to our globe. About twenty
two elements, al known to the chemistry
Of the earth, have been recognized as
present in them. Among these, iron, sill
con, magnesium, nickel, sulphur phos-
phOrus ard carbon ale the most impOr-
tAnt. While they are all clad externally
in u common livery, meteo1ites, when ex-
amined in their fractured parts, along
with traits of similarity present cons iler-
able differences. They have been CLASH
fed according TO their typs into four
groups, according to tic proportion of
iron they contained. Those Of the first
gloup are composed almost wholly of
hon, which Is known as metcoric iron.
1t is always .lUyCd with nickel and few
other metals, and contains carbon free or
incCmbinatiUn, as in steel, with frequently
sulphuret and phosphurot of iron in scat
tered globules and grains. II is always
recognizable by single peculiarly in its
structure. If we mGisten polished sur

ately observe the appearance Of numl roUs

parallelism as if made with an engrayeI's
tool, and crossing one another in q net

| designs, called the figures Of Wiamanst act

| from the fact that the metal is not of a
| homogeneous constitution. II is compos2d
| of two alloys of iron and nickel in crys-
! tallinc condition, one of whi:h not being
| affected by the acid stands out in relief
from tho other, which is alta ked by it.
| The mateoIitcs of This group arc called
holosidcriLcs, or al iron, in distinction
| from thu Others, which contain also stOr Y
matters. They are vastly more rare than
those Of the other grouTs. The stony sub
stances of the other groups consist chiefly
of silica in combination with magnesia
and proXide OF lion, as pcridotc or pyrox-
enc. If these silicates are in small pro-
portion and thiLly scattered through the
iron, they arc syssideritcs; if ii is the iron
that is in relatively small proportion and
appearing only in isolated grains, they are
sporadosiderites. In other meteorit es,
comparatively few in numl or, no metallic
iron can be perceived, and they are called
asdCriies. The most interesting specimens
among them ale remarked by the dull
black color, and a general appearance like
that of peat or Ignite. Besides stony
matters, they contain carbon in combna-
ton with hydrogen and oXygen-a chem
y, zeal quality which has led to their being
