At the head of the Gulf of Bothnia there
is a mountain on the summit of which the
sun shines perpetually during the five
days of June 10, 90, 81, % and %. Every
six hours during this season of continual
sunshine a steamer leaves Stockholm
crowded with visitors anxious to witness
the phenomenon. At the same place dur
ing winter the sun disappears and is not
seen for weeks; then it comes in sight agiSn
for ten, fifteen or twenty minutes, grad
ually lengthening it's stay until finally it
stays in sight continuously for upward Of
100 hours.-St. Louis Republic.

Injurious EmpIoyments.

Nitric acid is employed as a solvent for
tin in making dyes; by engrayers to etch
copper; in the manufacture of gun cotton;
in the gliding trades, and in preparing the
felt for hats. The fumes of it are more ir-
ritating to human Threats and lungs than
is red rag to a bull, and they cause no
end of bronchial and catarrhal affections
The workers in various branches of trade
suffer from the fumes of ammonia. They
cause inflammation Of the eyes and pc
culiar skin disease, which it has been sug-
gested may be due to the formation Of a
soap by the union of the ammonia with the
liquid of the lubricating skin glands. If
that be true every man could be a per-
ambulating soap factory. Men employed
in guano works become deaf, and the skin
of their noses and foreheads is peculiarly
discolored by the ammonia. Their strength
fails, and they suffer from anemia New

If we are to judge of the foot coverings
handed down to US as relics from the
courts of France, Spain, England and Ger
many we can but conclude that for an eX'
tremey long period Of time, probably eight
or ten centuries, the dressing of the human
foot has been, even in the 50 called civil
LIKED countries but slightly different, and
only in degree from the customs of the fol
lowers of Confucus for thousands of years
Fortunately for art, unfortunately for the
history of civilization, so called, the artist
of olden as well as modern times has not
copied, except in portraiture, the cramped
foot, the narrow toe, the elevated heel and
the pinched instep, which have long &C
companied the human foot. 1t seems
reasonable to suppose, however, that the
Roman artist aud critic, and the Grecian
as we'll, fully attempted to give us the per
feet foot as found in the well developed
Grecian woman of the day
The sandals worn at the time when
Rome was in her splendor were undoubt-
eddy so constructed as to afford ample OPP
portunity for the development Of the foot
and exhibit the beauty of its conformation.

To arrive at any conclusion as to the
weight of the sea would be difficult in the
absence of sufficiently accurate and exact
figures as to area. Mr.. Schooling, writer
in Longman's Magazine, has confronted
and dealt with the problem. He has been
measuring and weighing the sea, and ac
cording to his calculations 1.-THE number of
gallons in the whole sea is $40, 900, 600, 600
00O,000,0O0, which, if it could be poured
away at the rate of 1000 gallons a second
would take nearly 1900, 600 900 years to get
rid Of. If we could sell it even at SO low
price as shilling for 10000 gallons, the bill
would come to 81, $50, 000, 000, 100000
Surprising the sea to be formed into a
round column reaching to the sun, the di-
ameter of the column would be nearly 2I6
miles, The Pacific would form 50, 600 600
miles of its total length of $4,000, 600, and
the Atlantic 100000 If it were column
of ice, and the entire heat of the sun could
be concentrated upon it, it would all be
melted in one second and converted into
gas in eight seconds, which illustrates thu
heat of the sun rather than the size of the
sea- The weight of the sea is 1865, 900, 600,
100000, 900 tons, and il u contractor took the
job to move it at even so moderate a price
as a thousand tons for penny he would
require to be paid the amount of the ma
tional debt 10000 times over in reward for
his labOrs.

Soon after Sumter was fired upon in
1861, Colonel Lee resigned his commission
in the United States army, vowing that he
would never again bear arms except in de-
Tense of his native state of Virginia. He
was instantly chosen leader of the seces-
sion forces of that state, and the sword OF
command was presented to him in terms
of highest tlattery. Speaking for Virginia,
the orator said: I'VE stand animated by
one impulse, governed by one desire and
one determination, and that is that she
shall be defended, and that no spot on her
soil shall be polluted by the foot of an in
vader. When the necessity of having a
leader for our forces became apparent, all
hearts and all eyes by the impulse of in
stinct which is surer guide than reason
turned to the old county Of Westmoreland.
We knew how prolific she had been III
other days of heroes and statesmen; we
knew she had given birth TO the father OF
his country TO Richard Henry Lee, to Mon
roe and last, though not least, to your own
gallant father, and we knew well by youI
deeds that her productive power was not
exhausted.
Lee did not take the field at or &c, but
staid in Richmond throughout the sum
mer of 1861. Meanwhile Joseph T. John
ston and Beauregard captured the prize oi
success by their victory at Bull Rnn.
About that time the office of full general
was created in the Confederate army, and
Johnston, Beauregard and Lee were given
equal rank. The department of West Viz
ginia was assigned to Lee, and his cam

II thou dost bid thy friend farewell
But for one night though that farewell may
be-
Press thou his palm with thine. How canst
thou tell
How far from thee
Fate OF caprice may lead his feet
Ere the tomorrow come? Men have been
known
To lightly turn the corner of the street,
And days have grown
To months, and months to tagging years
Before they looked in loving eyes again,
Parting at best is underlaid with tears.
With tears and pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should come be-
tween,
Or time or distance, clasp with pressure true
The hand Of him that goeth forth unseen.
Fate goelh tool
Yea, find then always time TO say
Some earnest word between the idle talk,
Lest with thee, henceforth, night and day,
Regret should walk.

upon the following account given by South

a fiddler boosted that he could destroy in a
week what it had taken many months TO
build. The people scoffed at him, but he
played until he found the keynote of the
keystone of the bridge, and when the lat

A Tale with a Moral.

A dog, who had lost his tail, one day
Sat signing under tree;
The pleasure of living had passed away;
:" IT'S a weary world" said he.
"rhe loss of my caudal appendage dear
Has wrought me much annoy;
have naught TO droop TO exhibit fear
Or to wag to show my Joy"
Just then another dog rushed past
Down the road with the speed of the wind,
With an old tin can to his tail tied fast
And dozen boys behind.
Said the tailless dog, There's lesson here
That is worth consideration;
There is no evil in life, tits clear,
Without its compensation"
