The Thrifty Spirit.-It seems easier
to be deacon or elder nowadays than
it was in our fathers time. The por-
tentous solemnity Of countenance has
gone out with the blacks" that used
to be essential for the duty Of stand
ing at the plate" Only last Sunday,
says a correspondent in the Glasgow
News, | laid down my mite under the
gaze Of quite a sprightly deacon wear
ing a soft gray hat and a suit Of light
tweeds! When daddy stands at the
plate a certain small boy finds it diff
ficult to observe due decorum as he
passes into worship. In fact, he shows
a desire to take his parents hand and
stand at the receipt Of collection too
On Sunday, as l sat waiting for the
service to begin, listening to the chink
of the coin in the plate" in the vesti
bule, heard a young voice uplifted in
argument with fond mamma: But
mummy, it's daddy! He'll let us in
for nothing Cant L keep my penny

WHY STARS SHOOT
Meteors Falling Toward Sun are Burn
ed by Earth's Friction.

Each So called shooting star is mere
ly cold little meteor which is moving
around the sun in its own path, just as
the immensely larger comets and plan
cts are doing, says st. Nicholas.
On the average these particles are
moving about 26 miles second when
they are at the distance from the sun
that the earth is, and, as the earth it
self is moving 1S1 miles a second, the
two bodies are sure to collide with a
high velocity.
II the earth runs into the particle in
such a way as to overtake it, 1t will
strike out air with speed Of only about
eight miles a second; II they meet
head on" so to speak, they may come
together with a speed Of A miles sec
ond
In either case, the friction Of the air
on the cold particle, as this ploWs
through the air, instantly heats it up
to a heat so great that it is vaporized
and appears to us as a shooting star.
The reason why the little meteoric
particles are moving so very swiftly In
the first place is simply because they
are falling toward the sun.
II you could carry stone many mil
lions Of miles away from the earth and
there let it drop, 1t would begin to fall
toward the earth very slowly, but as 1t
fell it would continually move faster
and faster, until when it finally struck
the earth it would be moving no less
than seven miles in each second.
In exactly the same way each Of the
little meteoric particles away off in
space began long ago to feel the pull.
or "gravitation" Of our sun and to fall
toward that body.
If the meteorite and the sun had
both been at rest at first, the metecrite
would have simply fallen into our
sun; but as our sun is moving through
space at the rate Of II miles in each
second the meteorite will not hit 1t eX-
actly, but will miss 1t and begin to
swing around 1t in curved path.
AS the sun is so much larger than the
earth. its pull is very much greater. il
you could visit the sun, you would find
when there that you weighed more than
q times as much as you weigh on the
earth.
This great pull Of the sun on each
side Of the meteorites makes them fall
very swiftly, indeed; it is because the
pull is so strong that when they have
fallen toward the sun to the place where
the earth is we find them moving some
&c miles in a single second.

FORTY-FIFTH lNSTAllMENT
Thursday Morning, November 10

1860.
(The Sentiment in charIeston).
The events which have transpired in
Charleston within the past ten days,
or fortnight, are destined to fill a
stirring chapter in the pages Of future
chronicles of our history. Such ex-
citement as exists there now has
scarcely been known before within the
memory of the living men. The vast
majority of the citizens seem to be In
favor Of the immediate withdrawal
from the Union. Upon the announce
ment of Lincoln's election, the officers
of the United States army attempted
to remove the Federal arms from the
Arsenal in the city to Fort Moultrie
on Sullivans island, and for this pur-
pose a sloop was sent to the pier; but
the sloop was compelled to return
without the arms-the citizens resist
ed the movement. On the evening OF
the 9th they had a grand secession
rally" in Institute Hall, with warm
speeches and enthusiastic cheering;
appointed a president and fifty vice
presidents and sent a committee Of
three on a special train to Columbia
to interest their delegation to urge
immediate resistance. On the same
day, in commemoration Of the re-
opening Of the Charleston and SaVan-
nah railroad, the military turned out;
visitors from Savannah were received,
and speeches were made In faVor OF
disunion. Everything there has the
ring of Southern Confederacy about
it, Banners float from the windows
of the newspaper offices. bank offices,
business houses and across the streets
and drives, expressing the prevailing
feeling Of resistance. greet the eye at
every turn. Ten thousand cheers for
glorious old Charleston!

st. Petersburg and the Neva.-When
the river Neva rises St Petersburg is
always in danger Of inundation. The
city was built upon a swamp. and the
land has been laboriously reclaimed
and is liable to overflow by the Neva.
That river divides and forms a delta
and this delta is embraced within the
city limits. Although the main portion
of St. Petersburg is situated on the
mainland Ga peninsula washed on the
east by the Neva and on the north
west by the Great Neva). parts of the
city stand on islands formed by the
arms of the river. The islands, with
their gardens and villas. are a pretty
feature of the capital. The various
parts of the city are connected by
over 100 bridges. the longest being the
TrOitSky bridge, about third Of a
mile in length.-Westmins Gazette.

The Dark and Bloody Ground.-Be-
fore the white man began to explore
Kentucky, about the middle of the
eighteenth century, the region was
a vast hunting ground for many large
tribes of the south, north and east
and between these tribes there was
continuous conflict for the possession
of the rich game privileges. Later on
when the white people settled in the
territory, their struggle with the red
men was more bitter and persistent
than in almost any other section OF
the continent: hence the sanguinary
name that was given to the territory
