The Sneriean Title of ‘Slister.” One of the New York papers having uttered a serious protest against the American fashion of prefixing the title (if “Honorable” to the names of men in public positions, the sharp edged Richmond Enquirer cries “ditto to Jilr. Burke," and discourses thus, with ah anecdote thrown in: We lias e had a Strangelove for that simple but manly title of’ mister ever since we were able to distinguish be tween true worth and mere preten sion. We cannot say it was innate or inuitive, but it came to us through our devotion to our boyhood’s hero. A gallant, alas’, fell by his own hand in a lii of hereditary insanity, at Fortress Monroe, long before he was forced to decide between his State and his coun try'. It was at the close of the Mexi can war, when most of the officers, were receiving brevet titles. We hap pened to be present, and were tolera ted by them as a mere boy, when a discussion arose among them as to tijles. Our favorite and Mentor, whose words were then our oracles, (Vid who had received a brevet for gallant and meritorious services, said: “The true title of an American gentle man is Mister. It is, when worthily worn, above any that can be conferred by prince or potenate, or won by mili tary or civil services; and while I shall deserve the respect of men so far as to merit that title, equi-distant from disgusting familiarity and servile flat tery, lam content.” From that time we have set a high value upon our only American title of nobility—the simple but expressive little word Mis ter. ASTRONOMICAL. An eminent European astronomist lias announced a curious theory con ccreing the nature of Saturn’s rings— Iris theory being nothing more nor less than that these rings are composed of numbers of small satellites revolving round the planet, which satellites arc, in fact, meteors arrested by the planet as they descended toward the sun. The conclusion is arrived at that the energy of the sun’s light and heat has been derived from meteors falling into »I —a theory, however, long since pro pounded and discussed in scientific circles, but which it met by still an other hypothesis, namely, that the so li r corona consists of meteors ejected by the sun; though it is difficult to understand how the ejecting force can be perpetuated. That tlm solar light and heat are maintained by meteors being generated into the realms of .space by the action of light upon the «;»ipm»dorablo ether, producing - such motions in it as generate gravity and 1 ad to aggregation. The revival work continues unabat ed in many places, and although it is not a wide-spread and general move i.»ent, many interesting facts are re corded in connection with it. Rev. E. I'.

One day a young man entered a merchants office in Boston, and, with a pale and careworn face, said: “Sir, lam in need of help. I have been unable to meet certair. payments because certain parties have not done by me as they agreed to, and I would like to have two thousand dollars. I come to you because you were, a friend to my father, and might be a friend to me.” “Come in,” said the old merchant; “come in ami have a glass of wine.” “No,” said the young man, “I do not drink.” “Have a cigar, then." “No; I never smoke. ’ “Well,” said the old gentleman, “I would like to accommodate you, but I don’t think I can.” Very well, said the young man, as he was about to leave the room; I thought, perhaps, you might. Good day, sir. Hold on, said the merchant. You don’t drink? No, sir. Nor gamble, nor anvthing of that kind? No, sir; lam superintendent of the Sunday School. Well, said the merchant, you shall have it. and three times the amount, if you wish. Your father let me have rive thousand dollars once, and asked me the same questions. He trusted me, and I will trust you. No thanks —I owe it to you for your lather’s trust Success Makes Enemies.— They who are eminently' successful in business, who achieve greatness, notoriety in any pursuit, must expect to make enemies. So prone to petty jealousy and sordid envy is poor human nature, that who ever becomes successful is a mark for the malicious spite of those who, not deserving success themselves, are envi ous of the merited triumph of the more worthy. Moreover the opposi tion which originates in such despica ble motives, is sure to be of the most unscrupulous character; hesitating at no iniquity, descending to the shabbi est littleness. Opposition, if it be hon est and manly’, is not in itself undesira ble. The competitor in life’s struggles who is of true mettle, deprecates not opposition of an honorable character, hut rather rejoices in it It is only in justice or meanness that he deprecates; and it is this which the successful must meet to the measure of success which excites it. Th'.t a large proportion of the pre vailing intemperance hu>. its origin in our social drinking usages is probably true; and it is gratifying to know that the friends of Temperance in this city at their meeting last week, laid special stress on this phase of the question. Rev. Dr. John Hall, in his address, made the point that there is very little to be gained by endeavoring to con vert the sellers of intoxicating liquors so long as the habit or fashion of drinking wines ami strong beverages on social and festive occasions is so wide-spread. He believes also that many who now adhere to this custom would abandon it if their attention were called to the importance of doing so. Good speeches followed from Hon. W illiam E. Dodge, Rev. Messrs. Foss, Frothingham, Steele, Page and others. One oi the resolutions which the meet ing ’ oted appeals especially to “those whose education or position gives them a commanding sway over the opinions and practices others, to teach both by example and precept the fun damental lesson of the temperance re form - total abstinence from all intoxi cating liq’.u is. ” Advice..
