The material heavens, the plurality of
worlds, the marvellous unity and diversi
ty of the heavenly bodies, have been ob
jects of study from the beginning of the
world. David says. M ’onsidcr the heav
ens,” because there is no word in any
language so deeply fraught with endless
meaning cs Heaven. The word is de
rived from tho Saxon fuo/au, which
bine, mellowed through the cloud, j signifies an arch, and is • used for the ex-
jpanse above the earth, which appears
i like an immense arch in which are seen
j the sun, moon, and stars. It is so ex-
j tensive, but little U seen at once, aud no
mind cau understand one-half of what
is visible. Scientific knowledge is re
quisite to the understanding of the nat
ural heavens, and without it there is a
great dread of a fearful calamity; with
it, there is no dread whatever. The sta
bility of the heavens is based upon the
immortality ol‘ Him who made them.
The moral heavens is the spiritual ele
vation of tho soul above the level of
seusuriul life; unless heaven be within,
the external cyuuut fully be received and
enjoyed as the handy work of Clod.—
Truth, without f»rr, is dead and soulless.
I f God be revealed by his Spirit, the or
der ol life that reigns above is {more glo
rious ; as man has the copy below, in the
pure inbreathing God, the primal source
of the light of heaven. It is the law of
the human mind, to believe what it secs l

THE SOUTH—TESTIMONY OF A CAB-
PET-BAG SENATOR.
Mr. Sawyer, tho Mossachuvetta Senator
from the State o/ South Carolina, had
thcjboldness to utter the following senti
ments on the floor of the Senate, Wednes
day lust. :
“Ho hold that the South had been in-
doctrinod with the brilliant sophistries of
tho Southern stateemen for generations,
ami that they went into tho war for se
cession and principle. Ho abhorred se
cession as much as any one, bnt knowing
now that they were conquered and t
political heresies utterly obliterated, he
conhl not follow tho examplo of others
and llipantly hurl at them the epithets of
rebel and traitor. Ho could not de
nounce them because they would not r»*-
pent. W.vwe, as they believed they were
right, they hod nothing to repent of.-
They fought for the principles which they
had liven educated from iufaney to im
plicitly accept, and there were as brave
aud honorable men in the Confederate
-urtnv as over drew ft sword or lifted a
mnsket.”
Further ou iu his speech Mr. Hawyer
sets at rest a •‘brflliam** lie of the Radical
faction, invented to frighten their white
livered constituents.
“Much hod l*een said, hero and else

Bnt ho would tell Senators there
not ono word of truth in it. In the
face of their maimed sons, their desolated
hearthstones, their ruined homes, their
devastated fields, no snch foolish idea
coulu bo entertained by them for a mo
ment. He did not think that any of the
disttit bailees in the South originated from
hostility to tho general government, bnt
that they were inspired by disaffection to
tho local governments. And why? Be
cause, the men who wero most fitted by
education and position to take part in tho
affairs of state were excluded from all
participation. Through this cause it
could not be denied that men of an infe
rior moral and intellectual stamp bad
been elected into public positions.”
A Goon Story.—A Parkersburg (West
Virginia) paper says that several mem
bers of tlio Legislature took cars at Graf
ton, late on the evening of tho fith ult,,
for Wheeling, and among tho number
was a Mr. G., of somewhat largo propor
tions, physically, and a Mr. D., of pro
portional undersize. These two—the
stalwart G. and the smooth-faced little
D.—took a berth together, it seems, in a
sloepiug-ear. The little man laid behind,
and the good-natured, waggish Mr. G.
before.
Mr. D. was sleeping and snoring furi
ously. Mr. G., more restless under leg
islative burdens, soou rose, and was sit
ting by tho stove, when an elderly lady
came on board and desired a berth.
“All right, madam,” Raid G., “I took
a berth with my son, and you can occupy
my place in that berth where my litUe boy
is sleeping.”
Taking Mr. G. at his word, the lady,
disrobed and lay down with the hoy.
After a quiet repose of some time, the
boy, Mr. D., became restless from some
cause, and began to kick around, to the
annoy auce of thc old lady; so in a mater
nal manner ?he patted him on the back,
and sail:
“Lie still, sonny; pa said I might sleep
along with you.” _ ^
Thunder and lightning!” criefT the
legislator. 4 ‘Who arc you V I’m no boy;
I am a member of thc West Virginia Leg
islature 2”
It is said that the old lady swooned,
and could not l»o brought to till P. prom
ised G. should be impeached.
D. swears that the thing shall not rest
there. What action tho Legislature will
take for tho protection of its dignity, re
mains t o be seen.
A Secret of Youth.
Thri-u are women who cauuot grew
old; women who, without any. special
effort, remain always yonng and al
ways nttrsotire. Their number is smaller
than it should be, bnt there is a sufficient
number to mark the vridis difference be
tween tliis class and the other. The se
cret of this perpetual youth lies not in
beauty, for some women possess it who
are not at all handsome; nor in dress, for
they are frequently careless in that re
spect, so far as the mere arbitrary dic
tates of fashion are concerned; nor in
having nothing to do, for theec ever
young women are always as busy as bees,
and it is vary well known that idleness
will fret people into old nga and ugliness
faster than overwork. Tho charm, we
imagine, lies in tho sunuy temper—neither
more nor less—the blessed gifbofahmys
looking on the bright side of life, and
stretching the mantle of charity over
everybody’s faults and failings. It is not
much of a secret, but it is oil that WO
have seen, and wo have watched such
with great interest and a determination to
report tmthfully for the benefit of tho
sex. It is very provoking that it ia some
thing which cannot be corked op and
sold for fifty cents a bottle. Bat this is
impossible, and is why the moat of us will
have to keep on growing old and ugly and
disagreeable as usual.
Never anticipate wealth from any other

duct obtained, by 512; then cut off two
figures to the. right; those oh the left
will be so many barrels, and those ou the
right so many hundredths of'barrels.
3. For grain, fruit, herbs, in house or

multiply them together; then annex two
■iphers and divide thc product by
one hundred and twenty-four. Answer
