gives much in little. All these thoughts
are comprised in but three or four linen
of Holy Writ.
Another lesson, and one of import
ance, to be learned is that men are led
to doubt and reject the Bible as divine
because they do not think, calculate
and well digest the word spoken.
Lastly, no man can exouse himself
from God’s salvation upon the ground
that there is no provision for him in
his Father’s house. For, said our Sa
viour, “In my Father’s house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place
fur you.” James A. Clement.

"Ami the city lieth foursquare, find
the length is ad large aB the breadth :
and he measured the city with the reed,
twelve thousand furlongs. T»>e leng h.
and the hreartih, and the height of it
are'equal.” R*v. xxi., 16.
Mr. Editor—With your permission,
we will, in order to vary somewhat the
inonotonouB routine of political reading,
essay a few thoughts upon the subject
suifgested at the head of this article.
The puerile and very limited ideas
that many persoi.s have of the size or
capacity of Heaven to hold the vast
numbers whom we may suppose will
ultimately be entitled to and be pre
pared to enter in and enjoy its beatifio
visions, have created infidel notions in
reference to the truth of its existence
altogether.
To explode any erroneous notions
that we may be, at first thought, dis
posed to entertain upon the question,
whether Heaven has a capacity for all
men, an appeal to arithmetic is here
made, and should we be in error in our
calculations we will be gratified to
stand corrected.
The text says the city is “foursquare,”
and that the length, breadth and height
are equal, and that it is “twelve thou
sand furlongs” in. each square and
height. The 12,000 furlongs are equal
to seven millions, nine huudred and
twenty thousand feet, wnich makes four
hundred aud ninety-six quintillione,
seven hundred aud ninety-three quad
rillions and eighty-eight trillions cubio
feet.
We will now reserve have of this for'
the throne of God, Court of Heaven,
and the balance for street, leaving a re
mainder of two hundred and- forty-
eight quiritillions, three hundred nine
ty-six quadrillions, five hundred and
forty-four trillions cubic feet. Now we
will divide this amount by 4,096, the
number of cubic feet in a room sixteen
feet square, the result will be sixty
quadrillions, six huudred and forty
three trillions, six hundred and eighty-
seven billions Hn ,| f, ve hundred mill
ions rooms sixteen feet square.*
Next, we will suppose that the world
will always contain uine hundred aud
ninety millions of inhabitants, *hat a
generation lasts thirty-threo and one-
ihird years, aggregating ninety-nine
nHions of human beings every centu-
rj; then suppose that tho world will
continue on the even tenor of its way
°ne hundred thousand years, or one
1 jonsand centuries, there would be
ninety-nine trillious of the descendants
of Adams,
^‘W, if the sixty quadrillions (and
oyer) rooms in our Father’s house be
iviiled by the amount in this last sup-
posi-ion of ninety-nine trillions there
would be over six hundred rooms to
each individual,
Again, the figures are beyond the
reach human count. To show which,
suppose a man to count one every sec-
on, allowing him to occupy thetwen-
i • nur hours a day, it would take one

One of the Eulogies on Julian
Haritiage.
The Ifemarks ot Hon. w. p. Frye, or
Maine— epubiica i Tiitt.tn.iiiy to
Ucmoora.lr. Worth.
The House of Representatives having
under consideration resolutions of re
spect to the uittnory of IIou. Julian
Hartridge, of Georgia, Hon. W.P. Frye,
of M tine, spoke os follows:
Mr Speaker—i intended and ought
to have made a fitting preparation for
epeuktng of the character of Juliau
H.trindge, but an enforced absence in
the city of Now York ou an investigat
ing committee bos absolutely prevent
ed. I regret this, sir, exceedingly, and
yet 1 do not feel willing to allow the
occasion to pass in utter eilenoe, for Mr.
Hartridge aud I were warm personal
friends, altnough all the circumstances
of our lives would seem to have been
antagonistic to any such friendship.
He represented a consiituency living
down in one of the Gulf States, and I
am living in the extreme north; he
was formerly a slave-owner, and I was
educated to believe Biavery to be a
crime against man and an offense
gainst God ; h>< sympathized with the
rebellion, I with its foes; he was a
Democrat, I a Republican. And yet I
have iu my life learned to love few
men better than I did him. It was
only an accident that revealed the
beauty of Julian Hartridge’s character
to me. Oh, how many flowers of
friendship tail to blossom in this world
simply because men do not know each
other; and how much our nation bus
nuflered from this same strangeness!
\Vhy, Bir, I am convinced, and have al
ways been, that rebellion itself was the
child of this same strangtfness. If the
North hud known the South and the
duuth bad known the North before the
war, as they knaw each other at its
close, there would have been no war.
vVhy, sir, b ing brougnt together aud
held together for four long yea.'S, even
in a terrible, bloody conflict ouly made
us better friends than we ever were be
fore, aud revealed to each other a re
spect and a title to respect wnich we
never had dreamed of.
Aud in this House is it not precisely
the same? Here we come from differ
ent aud remote sections of the coun
try; we come with prejudices of section
aud of party upon us, we remain to
gether tor a session or two; we separate
md those same prejudices still ding to
us. And why ? because we have had
no opportunity to knew each other. Iu
this House there is always "the other
-•ide;” outside this House our constitu
ents deun nd every single moment of
our time; so that only now aud then is
a mail of the one side revealed to ibe
other. A notable instance occurs to
tne at this very moment. There is a
gentleman from Alabama who has
served with me in this House four or
six years, and until recently I never
knew him. I knew he had been u Ma
jor General in the Confederate army.
He had his prejudices, aud I undoubt
edly had mine. Yet the accident of
sending me to the city of New York
with him on u committee and putting
us side by side, bringing us in close
contact for two weeks, only revealed
tho gentleman to me aud brought into
life, on my part at least, a friendship
for him which I never shall forgot. So,
sir, accident disclosed Julian Hartridge
aud his character to me. Had it not
been for accident he and I would have
been parted by death, each to the other
comparatively unknown; if wn had
prejudices they would have remained
to the end. It was the accident of our
serving on the same committee that
brought us together. He was placed
upon the Judiciary Committee, of
which I was a member, and prejudic-s
disappeared, while in its place friend
ship sprung into life.
During the long session in the Forty-
fifth Cougress, matters of great impor
tance, questions involving legal pro po
sitions that were abstruse and difficult
to understand, were constantly before
that committee; and each man thsre
was compelled to exhibit what powers
there were in him. My impression is
that Mr. Hartridge made but one or
two speeches in the House upon this
floor during tho time he was here, f
know that he attracted general atton-
, ron; hut I am satUfied from my own
knowledge of him that it was his mod
esty ihat prevented him trom taking
the position and holding it in this
House to which his pre-eminent ability
entitled him; a modesty which would
net allow him to stand here by the
hour and demand, the Speakers eye
and ihe Speaker's ear; a modestv whtoh
would not permit him to put his name
SiraijetaiB' (guide.
which would not allow him to ask
time from the gentleman who had con
trol of the floor. I am satisfied that it
seemed to him to be an assumption.
But when we were in the committee j AN and after Tuesday,
room, where, as I have said, every man 1 0D 11,0 Ron
was compelled to exhibit himself, thou
Julian Hartridge came at once where
he belonged—into the fore rank. Wo
had not met together for three monthB
before I was satisfied that he was a
lawyer of pre-eminent ability; not a
special pleader, not a technical lawyer,
but a lawyer in the broadest sense in
which the word may be used. He had
convictions, and never feared to en
force them; he had opinions, and was
ever ready to maintain them.

Tel> graph stock sold at the New York
Stock Exchange for 96 1.8, per share;
October 14th, 1878, it sold at 86 3 4 a
fluctuation of 9 3 8 per cent, in seven
days ; 13,500 shares sold on anmargin
of one per cent, required an actual
capital of 812 500. The same stock
delivered at 86.3 4 gave profit of 9.3 8
per cent, on the slock or 8937.50 per
100 shares. On the whole 12 500 the
actual profit was 8117 187 50 er 9.3 8
times the capital used, in one week.
This is a single case taken from the
official record of the Stock Exchange,
aud shows how money is made rapidly
in stocks. Few people, however, have
the necessary cash to put up iu order to
realize buch immense profits as these,
but capital iu any amount from 810 to
850,000 can be used with equal sucoess
by the new combination system of
operating in stocks which Messrs. Law
rence <fc Co , Bankers, New York, have
established. By this method of pool
ing thousands of orders in various r.u ms
and operating them as one immense
capital, shareholders realize large profits
which are divided pro rata monthly.

rules for success, and full information,

remarkably quick. He commanded
the respect of his colleagues on that
committee. He was not a par-isan
there; he was a lawyer testing and try

party. In his bearing he was dignified, Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad-

we8 exceedingly slow to give offn ise ! 5
and equally slow to feel that uny offense
whatever was intended him. I, sir,
came from that committee with the
judgment, and I believe my colleagues
upou it will concur with me, using the
words with their full and complete
meaning, that Juliau Hartridge was a
good la wyer. But one other thing, in
my judgment, can be added to that to
make up the verdict that he was a man
of perfect eharacter bo far as humanity
and perfection can exist together; ana
I feel that I can justly add that word.
I met him, as I have said, daily; I saw
him continually; I associated with him
more than, perhaps, with any other
f entlemau on the other side of thiB
louse, and I never knew him tn utter
one word I never knew him to do an
act. I never know him to give expres
sion to a thought that did not indicate
to me that he was a good man as well.
Have I not said it all? A good lawyer
and a good man; I ask that nothing
more, when I am dead, shall be said of
me, and I pray that that may be said
truthfully. That he was a tender fath
er, a gentle husband, a noble, generous
neighbor and friend I cannot doubt.
Why God should have taken him right
iu the prime of beautiful life when the
brilliant promises, of which the gentle
man from New York (Mr. Cox) has
spoken, of hia early manhood were day
by day uud hour by hour being re
deemed; when his country, hia State,
his party, his friends, his wife and his
little children needed him more than
they ever did before—oh, why God
should have taken him then is to me
and to us a mystery. Its solution can
and shall only come in the great here
after. May Heaven grant that the ad-
motions and warnings of these deaths
which have come to this House so fre
quently and so suddeuly tea.cn us that
we too should prepare to meet our God.

husband reluctantly made the sale.
He could not help shedding tears when
