MALLOY, ROBERT HOOPER. 682-] y 652-tf In early times, the number ofknown metals were seven :â€"iron, copper, silver, gold, lead, tin and mercury. They were designated by the names of the seven planets then known, and a certain union was supposed to exist between each planet and its ‘correlaâ€" tive metal. Thus, gold was the sun; silver, the moon; mercury, its name- sake; copper, Venus; iron, Mars; tin, Jupiter; lead, Saturn. There is no doubt that besides these seven minerals the ancients were familiar with many others, such as sulphur, calsium, and other simple bodies which modern science has classified, as minerals, but they recognized as such only those which bore the out- ward appearance of metalie bodies, being found in nature in a native and pure statecscarcely wanting any other manipulation than fusionâ€"a very simple process, easily accomplished by the most inexperienced workmen. As to the chemical action of minerals and the part they act in vegetation, they had not the slightest notion. In the Middle Ages, when science had scarcely advanced beyond the stage where the Romans had left it, metals were the object of a strange and mys~ terious manipulation, which borrowod from its secrecy a degree of awe which exercised a remarkable influ- ence on society. The art of the alchemist, like the kindred one of the astrologer, generated an amount of superstition scarcely credible; but at the same time it must be acknow- ledged that these follies, ridiculous and contemptible though they may appear to us now, were attended by wholesome discoveries, both in metaL lurgy and astronomy, which greatly added to the stock of real science.

Proprietor, Ingersbll Nature won‘t be robbed ! How many times have you heard the old saying? Experienced fathers and mothers urge upon youthful sons and daughters that they should have a regular hour for going to rest at night, and. that hour be an early one, so that by an abundance of sweet sleep they may not fail of the best measures of physical and mental growth. Hours of sleep, not the sleep of exhaustion, are the hours of accumulation. Some one asserts that the greatest preach- ers haveinvariably been great sleepers. Does the fact that the pastor some- times finds himself’compelled to write late into Saturday night to finish his sermon, explain the lack of force in his pulpit efforts on the Sabbath? One of a minisier’e first duties istto‘ himself, by restand in allyays to: keep himself in as wholesome andl perfect a frame of body V nee 'of spirit, :15 it is‘pqw ' quire. ' " ‘ It is said that when John C. Calâ€" houn was in Yule College, he was ridiculed by his fellow-students for his intense application to study. “Why, sirs,” he replied, “I am forced to make the most of my time that I may acquit myself creditably when in Congress.” A laugh followed, when be ex- claimed,â€" “ Do you doubt it? I assure you ifI were not convinced of my ability to reach the national capitol as a re- presentative within the next three years, I would leave college this very day l” Let every young man thus have faith in himself, and take earnestly hold of life, scorning all props and buttresses, all crutches and lite-pre- servers. Let him believe, with Pes- tnlozzi, that no man in God’s earth is either willing or able to help any other. Let him strive to be a creator rather than an inheritorâ€"to bequeath rather than borrow. Instead of wielding the rusted sword of valorous forefathers, let him forget his own weapons, and, conscious of the God in him and the providence over him, let him fight his own battles with his own gocd lance. Instead of sighing for an education, capital, or friends, and declaring that, “ if he only had these, he would be somebody,” let him remember that, as Horace Gree- ley says, he is looking through the wrong end of the telescope; that if he only were somebody. he WOuld speedily have all the boons whose absence he is bewailing. Instead of being one of the foiled potentialities, of which the world is so fullâ€"one of the subjunctive heroes, who always might, could, would or should do great things, but whose not doing great things is what nobody can understand-1et him be in the imper- ative mood, and do that of which his talents are indicatix‘e. This lesson of self-reliance once learned and act- ed on, and every man will discover within himself, under God, the ele- ments and capacities of usefulness and honor. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTIONâ€"Facts furnish more lasting warnings than precepts. We have frequently found. occasion to speak of the danger of spontaneous combustion, and now seâ€" lect an item from the report of the fire marshal ot'New York city, which willsupport our idea on the subject. Sixteen recent examples of'fires caused by spontaneous combustion are re- cited in this report. During the year 1872 there were 1,380 fires in New York. How many were spontaneously caused there are no means ol'knowing. Ofthesixteen spontaneous cases above alluded to, nine originated among oily rags, cotton waste or rope materials, two in piles of coal, one in a mass of “eXcelsior” or fine wood shavings used for cheap upholstry purposes, one in salt hay, two in oily sawdust, one in rubbish. The owners of a large manufacturing ‘ jewelry establishment recently put , down new flooring in their workshops, ‘ and the gold they obtained by burning the old flooring not only paid for the , new one, but for putting two coats of paint on the entire factory. In an- ‘ other the hands all work on a sort of 1 bracket standing out from the bench in 1 front of them, so that the filings. of gold may fall on a tin plate below, and be returned to the melting room. The greatest care is exercised to .prevent waste. The floors, benches and seats are carefully swept every evening, and the sweepings put away to have the gold removed from them by chemical process. Every now and then aprons, benches, stools, and even the flooring, are burned to get the gold out of them. Even brushes, clothes, cotton, wool and rags, are burned. The average quan-‘ tity of gold saved annually in this may in the factory is about $50,000 worth. All the water in which the five hundred employes wash their hands is filtered four times, and the amount of gold re- covered from it averages about $15,000 a year. A barrel of sweepings will fetch four dollars and a half a pound; and even after they have, as they think, extracted all the gold from them they sell the refuse to the smelters at nine cents, and even as high as eleven cents, a pound. Gathering up {he Fragments. Believe in ’Yoursel t. Importance of Best. It is the aim that makes- the man. Without an aim a man is nothing, as far as the utter destination of force, weight, and even individuality among men can reduce him to nonentity. The strong gusts and currents of the world sweep him this way and that without steam or sails to impel, or helm to guide him. If he is not speedily wrecked or run aground, it is “more by good luck than good management. ’ We have never heard a more touching confession of utter weakness and misery than those words from one singularly blest with the endowment of nature and of proâ€" videnceâ€"â€"“ My life is aimless !” Take heed, too, ofa low and sordid aim. A well-ascertained and general purpose gives vigor, directness and persever- ance to all man’s efforts. A well dis- ciplined intellect, character, influence, tranquility ,and cheerfulness within, sueeess and honor Without, are its concomitants. \Vhatever a man’s talâ€" ents and advantages may be, with no aim, or a 10W one, he is weak and des- picable; and he cannot be otherwise than respectable and influential with a high one. .: Courtesy, which is the natural Outâ€" growth of inward gentleness, bmrs its characteristics by the artless child as by the grown man. Civility, therefore, to be effective in this quest, must have the sub-stratum of goodness. It must be pervading and uniform, not excep- tional and fitful. It is all very well to lay the blame of an unreliable and exâ€" plosive. temper upon weak digestion, or that “ rash humor ” inherited from others ; but its dismtrous effects are all the same, The worst tempers are made subservient to a well settled and persistent principle. of right-doing, and that is the only thing which can be reâ€" lied on. The EnglishVSpaI-rows of New York. The sparrows hep fearlessly about the streets and in the parks, and perch on the trees and fences, or wherever they list. Everybody welcomes and feeds the sparrows. Searcer a boy in the city is heartless enough to throw a stone at, or in any way molest them. And I doubt it' half a dozen are wantonly killed in New York in the course of a year. During the past winter the little fellows had a pretty rough time ofit, and quite a number were frozen to death by the extreme cold weather; butthey are busy, these mild spring days, mating, and building their nests; and, as they are not harassed with any of the minor cares ot'life,â€"having no house- rent to pay, or board-bills to settle,~â€" and can give their undivided time and attention to the fulfilmeth of the Scriptural injunction about replenish ing the earth, the few hundreds that perished will scaiccly be missed, or will soon have theirplaces filled. The English sparrow was introduced into this city, and 1 believeinto this coun- try, by Mr. Thomas Woodcock, of Brooklyn, at theinstance oftheBrook- lyn Institute, in 1856. In the fall of that year he brought over from Man- chester about a. dozen, and liberated them the following spring. They flew away, and nothing more was heard of them till the spring of 1858, when two pairs were observed among the ivy that clambers over Grace Church. During the summer several young ones were setn ; and, since then, they have gone on increasing at an enormâ€" ous rate, and most effectually clearing the city trees of' caterpillars and other insect pests, with which they were swarming at the time the little brown chirupers put in an appearance. Three hundred and sixty-five friends a year would certainly be an important auxiliary to the “productive resources” of an ambitious young man making his way in the world. But then comes the question: How are these friends to be made? It will be easy enough to re ‘tain a friend once earned, but how can this very excellent prescription of mak- ing friends he carried out ’2 There may be many ways in which progress may be had in this direction, even if the task should not be literally accom- plished. Let us look at the matter in a rational way. To commence with, civility is an excellent bait with which to catch friends ; and civility is cheap. Nothing is easier than to keep a sup- ply “ constantly on hand.” There are bogus articles sometimes attempted to be palmed ofl for the real thing, but they are all so base that they are easily detected. Ohsequiousness is one ; flat- tery another; mock modesty a third; cfliciousncss a fourth, and so on. These may have the “ genuine stamp,” but their spuriousness is easily detectedâ€"- True civility needs no false lights to show its points. It is the embodiment of Truth, the mere opening out of the inner self. The arts and artifices of a polished exterior are Well enough ; but if they are anything less or more than a fair exponent of inward rectitude, their hollowness cannot long escape detection. Shakspcare has said, “ A man may smile, and smile, and he a villain ;” but all the world knows that there i a. wide difl‘erence between the smile of a villain and that of a honest man. “ I will give you an unfailing key to success,” said an experienced man to his young friend : “ Make one new friend every day, and retain all you make." Make I riends. Aim High Art journals are eloquent in praise ofa material recently produced, and called by the Arabic-sounding name of Zopissa, which is neither paint, varnish or glue, but. a substance com- bining the special qualities of each of these bodies with others peculiar to itself. It can be employed with the facility of paint. It is as preservar tive of surface and lustre as the most successful varnish. It holds with a tenacity equal to the best marine glue, not only wood, paper and cloth, but stone, glass and iron. [t is imperti- ous to water. It is incembustible by fire. It is almost an absolute non- eouductor of heat. While qualities such as these are enough to give a very high commercial value to a chemical product the t - ' _ tion 0 every low. Its value for maritime and military purposes appear to be extraordinary. Again, for pipes, cisterns, reservoirs of water not only can these be made of this material at athird of the price ofiron, but the chemical action that is always going on in metal containingwater} would be obviated. and the greatl trouble of the winter frosts in alllargcl towns, the fracture of the water-pipes, would be rendered a thing ot'the past, 1 owing not so much to the great: strength as to the non-conductingl quality of pipes made of this cheap} material. Space would fail to tell of} the uses to which it may be satisfacd torily applied. For vessels it may be made to combine the lightness of‘ timber with the resistance of' ironj armor. For shoes it is at once light“ and durable. For cartridge cases ill presents to the manufacturer of small arms, and indeed to the artillerists in any branch, exactly that of which he is in search. All things considered, the discovery of Zopissa may be said to commence a new era in the manu- facturing world. Inlensely cold, stormy and ice- bound, as all nature is at the Arctic circle, there are evidences in multi- plied forms to prove that the climate data to reckon from, are abundant. These grew luxuriantly where itis now almost impossible to sustain either plants or animal: with all the appliances of art, and from their struc- ture are particularly fitth for a tre- pic 1 climate. This statement re- quires no proof, since the archives of geology verify it by preserved speci- mens in the rocks, the land and eav- erns 0f the frozen North. What forces produced the change from a mild to a terrific region 01' storms in their most fitful exhibitions of restâ€" less fury? The polarity of the earth must have been suddenly changed. marks upon the" subject of the slave trade in Egypt. He did not attempt to deny its existence, though it was only carried on by contraband and with great difficulty, and he asserted that the numbeyof slaves annually sold in Egypt did not exceed 400. He remarked that a distinction should be drawn between slave dealing and the possession of domestic servants; that the former might be entirely supâ€" pressed by striking the evil at its sources, but that as the institution of dt,r1'iestio slavery had been in exist» enee in those countries for centuries, even before lslamism, it was iinpOsâ€" sible for him, a Mussulman Prince, to stop it immediately. But If he had the moral support of Great Britain, he was prepared to engage that he could put an end to the slave trade in Central Africa. Every occupation in life requires a mechanically trained eye. No me- chanic can ever attain distinction un- less he is able to detect ordinary im- perfection at si ht, so that he can see if things are out of plumb, out of'level, out of square and out of proper shape ; ‘and unless he can also detect dispro- portion er ill-shaped patterns. This ‘is a'great mechanical attainment. We say attainment, because it can be gained by any ordinary person. Of course there are defective eyes as there are other defective organs ; the speech, for instance, is sometimes de- fective; but the eye is susceptible of the same training as any other organ. A very good way to discipline the mechanical eye is to first measure an inch with the eye, then prove it with the rule then measure a half inch, then an eighth, and so on, and you, will soon be able to discover at a glance the difference between a twelfth and sixteenth of an inch; then go to three inches, six, twelve and so on. Some call this guessing; there is no guess work about it; it is measuring with the eye and mind. Acquire the habit of criticising for imperfections every piece of work that you see ; do everything as nearly as you can with- out measuring (or spoiling it,) or as nearly as you can trust the eye with its present training. If you cannot see things mechanically do not blame the eye for it; the fact is, the eye is not half as much at fault as a heedless mind, and a little training and care is all that is necessary for suceess. in these hospitable abodes of the white bear and walrus was once as mild, warm and delightful as the island of Cuba.

While you are gazing on the sun which is plung- ing under the vault of the west, an- other observer admires him emerging from the gilded gates of the east. By whatincouceivable magic does that aged star, which is sinking fatigued and burning in the shade ofthe even- ing, reappear at the same time, fresh and humid with the rosy dews of morning? At every instant of the day the glorious orb is at once rising, resplendent at noonday, and setting in the west; or rather our sense deâ€" ceive us, and there is, properly speak- ing, no east, west, north or south in the world. Everything reduces itself to a single point, from whence the king of day sends forth at once a. triple light in one substance. The bright splendor is perhaps that which nature can present that is most beau- tiful ; for while it gives us an idea of of the perpetual magnificence and re- sistless power of God, it exhibits at the same time a shining image of the glo- rious trinity! A new remedy consists in the em- ploymentofinjections introduced into the gum near the diseased tooth. Dr. Dop has tried these injections in about one hundred cases. In twenty he made use of morphia, which succeeded very Well, but onlyfor "a ti me. Chlorof’orm was far more suc- cessful, and is now exclusively used by Dr. Dop. It was eminently7 suc- cessful in sixty-two cases out ofcighty. The injection is made with the small syringe commonly used in France for subcutaneous injections. Only two drops are put in ata time. The needle is introduced gradually, and must re- main msitu a few seconds. On with- drawing it, pressure must; be exercised on the gum with the .finger. In by far the greater number of cases, one injection is quite enough to stop the toothache.

' SMOKED OUT.-â€"-“ Another poor girl has died in Virginia from the use of tobacco, at the age 01‘ we hundred. Sue was an wl-lJlmlz.’ counts with their customers. They had a stickâ€"called the nick-stickâ€" for each one, and for every loaf of bread he bought, a notch was cut in it; so that instead of presenting a bill, this stick was brought forward, and the amount reckoned u by the “ nicks” in it. Sir Walter cott re- fers to this usagein “The Antiquary." This method of keeping account seems very crude to our enlightened ensc. But will the time ever come when our own descendants will speak of our business habits with indulgent pity ? The world moves, and forward always. We live and act, and'do great deeds in mortal eyes. Then we pass away and the world progresses With- out us, and our greater triumphs pale in the light of the greater ones achiev- ed by our sons. It is hard for us to realize that there ever was a time when the yard-stick and pound-weight had no existence. But there certainly was a time when lour far-off ancestors had no definite ‘way of weighing or measuring. To meet the first difficulty, they began to reckon by grains of wheat or bar- ley. So many grains, twenty-four, equalled the wei ht ofa silver penny in the reign of dwerd 1.; and the table new in use started from this very simple method. Again, that mystery to little children first lesrng ing arithmetic, “Three barleycorns make one inch,’vv is solved in the same Way. Three "’grains, laid in order lengthwise, expressed the shortest distance. The standard ot‘lineelmca sure was early fixed upon in England; and as the crown had the right to de- cide about it, King Henry 1., one day, stre ching out his stalwart right arm, ordained that what we call the yard should be established asjust the length of it. The measure ‘known as the “nail” represents a certain distance from the thumb-nail, and the “foot” corresponded to the length of a human foot. A curious custom was observed by the bakers in keeping acâ€" counts with their customers.
