KITTY M'CREE O'TOSSELL. MERRILY, merrily pipes the merle, Merrily lilts the throatle. Merrily sings the milking girl, Kitty M'Cree o'Tossell. Singing down by the madow gate, Gay as a golden-gladdie. Little hen-birds will call for their mate; Kitty is calling her laddle. Merrily, merrily pipes the merle, Merrily lilts the throatle. Merrily sings the milking girl, Kitty M'Cree o'Tossell. Over the lea, as blithe as a bee. Trampling new-blown daisies; Over the stile, with love in his smile, See he comes singing her praises. Merrily, merrily pipes the merle, Merrily lilts the throatle, Merrily sings the milking girl, Kitty M'Cree o'Tossell. Singing still by the madow gate, Why doth the maiden tarry? Little hen birds will wait for their mate; Kitty is waiting for Larry. Merrily, merrily pipes the merle, Merrily lilts the throatle. Merrily sings the milking girl, Kitty M'Cree o'Tossell. "Kitty M'Cree!" "Larry Magee, Who would have thought o' thus meeting!" "Kiss, and I'll carry your pail," said he; And the lark sang aloud at the greeting. Merrily, merrily pipes the merle, Merrily lilts the throatle; But merrier siggs the milking-girl, Kitty M'Cree o'Tossell. EDWARD CAPERN. STUDY AND LONGEVITY. Because brain work promotes consumption of nutrition quite much as bodily labor, a hard stint will get ravenously hungry. The that keeps a man in health is the instant renewal of the particles of body; labor uses up the new part of nutriment, and wears off the old eating supplies the new ones in it at stand, and in this way the body kept new and vigorous and thrifty a man does not work at all, sits at a great part of his time, the old, out particles of the system remain and clog it up, and before long the becomes torpid and the mind dull time approaching to idiocy. The like the body, appropriates the men of food to its uses, and works the old, effete matter. Kant, on the most profound thinkers of his era, living beyond three scores ten, gave it as the result of his observation that "Intellectual pursuits tend prolong life;" and President Humphrey of Amherst College, said at the age eighty-two, "I have not to see those who died from the effects of hard study Newton, the greatest thinker of time, lived to the age of seventy-third and Herschel, the greatest astronomer of his age lived beyond ninety, and did Humboldt, the immortal author." Cosmos If ever a student dies you it is because he has not lived right. How New Jersey Got Out of the United States. The origin of the allusions to New Jersey as a foreign country is said to be as follows: After the downfall of the first Napoleon, his brother Joseph, who had been king of Spain, and his nephew, Prince Murat, son of the king of Italy, sought refuge in this country and brought much wealth with them Joseph Bonaparte wished to build a palatial residence here, but he did not desire to become a citizen, as he hoped to return to Europe. To enable him as an alien to hold real estate required a special legislative act. He tried to get one passed for his benefit in several States, but failed. He was much chagrined, especially because Pennsylvania refused After this he applied to the New Jersey legislature, which body granted both him and Marat the privilege of purchasing land. They bought a tract at Bordentown, and built magnificent dwellings, and fitted them up in the most costly manner. Rare paintings, statuary, etc., were profuse and selected with care, and the grounds laid out with exquisite taste. Joseph Bonaparte's residence was perhaps the finest in America. Thousands of people visited it from all parts of the country, and were always treated courteously. He was profuse with his money, and gave a great impetus to business in the little town. The Philadelphiaans finding that he had apparently no end of money, and that he used it to benefit business generally, regretted when it was too late, that they had refused to let him locate among themselves; to keep up their mortification, would always taunt Jerseymen with having a king—with importing the king of Spain to rule over them; they were called Spaniards and foreigners on this account. But these taunts harmed no one, as the Jerseymen lost nothing by their alluring him to settle among them, and the term "foreigner" jokingly applied to Jerseymen, has come down to us long after its origin has been forgotten, except by a few men of the past generation. Many years ago—during ten, gave it as the result of his observation that "Intellectual pursuits tend prolong life," and President Humphrey of Amherst College, said at the age eighty-two, "I have yet to see those who died from the effects of hard stress Newton, the greatest thinker of time, lived to the age of seventy-three and Herschel the greatest astronomer of his age lived beyond ninety, and did Humboldt, the immortal author "Cosmos." If ever a student dies you it is because he has not lived right Dr W. W. Hall. Where Flowers Came From Some of our flowers came from lands of perpetual summer, some from coastries all ice and snow, some from islands in the ocean. Three of our sweet exotics originally came from Peru; camelia was brought to England in 1804 and a few years afterward the monette and heliotrope. Several cata from the Cape of Good Hope; a large calla was found there in ditches, and some of the most brilliant geraniums, or pelargoniums, which are a spurious geranium. The verbena grows wild in Brazil. The marigold a native African flower. A great number came also from China and Japan. The little daphne was taken to England by Captain Ross from almost the farthest land he visited toward the North Polo. Bessemer Steel. A rival to the Bessemer process is making steel is to be found, says the Mechanic's Magazine, in Bernard system, adopted at the steel works in Givors, France. The principle feature of the system are said to be: First The employment of gas, acting again in improving the quality of the iron by a partin purification, before throwing off such injurious bodies as sulphur arsenic, phosphorus, etc. Second: The ability to employ iron of a secondary quality to obtain steel for certain special purposes, as rails, tires, etc. Third: By the combined action of air and gas in being able to act alternately by keeping the waste at a minimum and decarbonizing and recarbonizing, to regulate at will, and with certainty, the nature of the product is obtained. What is Thine Age?—"Father," said SOME ANTIQUITIES. Ninovob was 15 miles long and 40 round, with walls 100 feet high, and thick enough for three chariots to pass over. Babylon was 60 miles within the walls, which were 75 feet thick, and 30 high; with 100 brazen gates. The Temple of Diana, at Ephesus, was 425 feet high. It was 200 years in building. The largest of the pyramids is 481 feet high, and 763 feet on the sides; its base covers 18 acres. The stones are about 30 feet in length, and the layers are 208; 100,000 men were employed in its erection. About 1,590th part of the great pyramid of Egypt is occupied by chambers and passages; all the rest is solid masonry. The labyrinth of Egypt contains 3,000 chambers and 12 hall. Thebes presents ruins 27 miles round, and had 100 gates. Carthage was 25 miles round. Athens was 25 miles round and contained 25,000 citizens, and 400,000 slaves. The Temple of Delphos was so rich in donations that it was once plundered of £10,000 sterling, and Nero carried from it 500 statues. The walls of Rome were 13 miles in extent. Rome was founded according to Varro, Plutarch, Dionysius, and Hallicarnassus about the year of the world $228, which was 776 years before the Christian era. There are other dates mentioned, but they differ very slightly from these. What is Thine Age—"Father," said a Persian monarch to the old man who according to the Oriental usage, bowed before the sovereign's throne, "pray be seated; I cannot receive homage from one bout with years, whose head in white with the frosts of age. And now, Father," said the monarch when the old man had taken the profiled seat, "tell me thine age; how many of the sun's revolutions hast thou counted?" "Sire," answered the old man, "I am but four years." "What! interrupted the king: 'fearest then not to answer me falsely, or dost thou jeat on the very brink of the tomb?' "I speak not falsely, Sire" replied the old man, neither would I offer a foolish jest on a subject so solemn. Eighty long years have I waited in folly and sinful pleasures, and in amassing wealth, none of which can I take with me when I leave this world. Four only have I spent in doing good to my fellow monarch. And shall I count these years that have been utterly wasted? Are they not worse than blank, and is not that portion only worthy to be reckoned as a part of my life which has answered life's beat end? To Sal del Rey, the great salt lake of Texas, is an immense bed of salt about five miles in circumference, which is believed to be maxhaustible, and the process of production is still going on. The present income derived from this great natural salt manufactory is reported to be only $20,000 annually; but it is said that the Mexican government formerly collected a revenue of $400,000 in taxes on the product of the lake.

Seventeen Hundred Years in Our Oven. One house in Pompeii had evidently been in a state of repair when the volcano storm buried it. Painters and decorators and cleaners were masters of the situation. The household goods were all in disorder, and the family if not out of town must have been undergoing that condition of misery which springs from cleanings and other like nuisances inevitably entailed. Painters pots and brushes and workman's tools were scattered about. Telltale spots of waitwash starred wall and floor—Such domestic implements as pots and kettles had been bundled up in a corner all by themselves, and the cook was nowhere. Dinner however had not been forgotten. A solitary pot stood simmering (if it ever did simmer) on the stove. And (start not for it is true.) there was a bronzed dish in waiting before the oven, and on the dish a suckling pig all ready to be baked. But the oven was already engaged with its full complement of bread. So the suckling pig had to wait. And it soon entered the oven, and the loaves were never taken out, till after a noon of seventeen hundred years! They had been cooking ever since November 20, A p. 79. M.

But the oven was already engaged with its full complement of bread. So the suckling pig had to wait.

Fiorelli has them in his museum at Pompeii, twenty-one of them, rather hard, of course, and black, but in a perfect state of preservation. The Bright Side. The publisher of the childrens paper Bright Side at Chicago thus touchingly announces its permanent suspension: In answer to many of the nineteen thousand subscribers of the Bright Side who are writing to inquire the fate of that pretty little favorite, which we were editing and managing at the time of the fire, we say that it will not be resumed. The names—scattered from Canada to Australia and from the Atlantic to the Pacific were all burned. The cost of re-obtaining them would be too much, and it will be left where the fire put it. Multitudes are writing to us among them children, who are sincere mourners of its fate. It had the best name ever worn by papers. It taught its reader to look on the right side of life. May they now—as does its editor—illustrate the lessons it inculcated, by being reconciled to its fate. The Wyoming men have a rough time with their women magistrates, and deserve it, too. A man was brought before his wife, the judge, accused of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty, but merely out of consideration for the feelings of the judge, recommended him to mercy. When the Court heard the recommendation she glared at the foreman for a moment through her spatcles, and said: "Mercy? Mercy for William Henry Miller, the prisoner at the bar? Mercy for a man who for the past fifteen years has come home intoxicated every night, and smashed the plates, kicked over the cradle, upset the soothing syrup, and tracked mud over the parlor carpet? If the Court has mercy upon such offenders as this justice will become a mockery and nuisce. No, sir; the Court knows him too well, and sentences him to fifteen years hardlabor in the penitentiary, and may Heaven give him a change of heart. Remove the prisoner from the dock." Probably of all the beautiful and eloquent passages written by George D. Prentice the following is the finest: It cannot be that earth is man's only abiding place. It cannot be that earth is a bubble cast by eternity to float a moment upon its waves and sink into nothingness. Also why is it that the high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts are forever wandering unsatisfied And why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affection to flow back in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts? There is a realm where the rainbow never fades; where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful being, who pass before us like shadows will stay forever in our presence.
