Sam was a darkey and hired out to a farmer in Connecticut. Ono day, the farmer, who was not one of the most generous of men, was taken sick, and supposing that his end was approaching, sent for Sam to come to his bedside. The negro made his appearance, and with a joyful face, drew near, expecting something vastly to his benefit would occur. What it would be lie had not the remotest jdeafbut judging) from his own feelings, he thought that nothing less than a pretty good fiddle would bo at all appropriate fora death-bed present. "You know," said Ills employer, "you have been n faithful servant to me, Sam ?" "Yes, massa." (Sam's ebony features developed into a broad grin. He now hoped for a pair of cowhide boots in ad dition to the fiddle). "You know, Sam, I always treated you I.- !ml ! ij .. ,n ... .. "Yes, massa." ty tins lime fcanvs imagination had expanded Into some thing like activity, and his desires now embraced the fiddle, boots, a liaudfull of plug tobacco, and a bandanna hand- Kercmei, aim ne anxiously waneu io hear the next worth. His master then said in a solemn voice. ".Sam, in consideration oi your faithful services, I have directed In my will, that when you die, if you, in the itnftmn Ufa in tlltfl HOI trill Mirlinnd. IULUiik(ii; i.iu ... . j you shall be buried by my side." After waiting a few moments, as if expecting something else td'bo said, Sam asked : "Is dat all, massa?" "Yes, Sam, all." , "Then," said the disgusted African, "dis nigger don't like it! for maybe, some dark night, de debil come look for mtesa. an' make a Wake an' take poor . .

Jfomth jfomthe , Stars.. ,. , It would scarcely be thought by most persons (says our contemporary) uva the stars supply the earth with an ap preciable amount of heat. Even on the darkest and clearest night, when tlie whole heavens seem lit up by a multi tude of sparkling orbs, the idea of heat isinot suggested by. their spleudor. It willj.th'q'rqforepseeni surprising' to many mat men or science should assign no in considerable portion of our terrestrial heat supply to those distant twinkling lamps. It is not manv years since Pro fessor Hopkins, of Cambridge, went even further and expressed his belief that if the earth's atmosphere were but in creased some 13,000 yards in height, so as to have an increased power of retain ing the warmth poured upon it from outer space, wo might do without the sun altogether, so far as our heat supply is concerned. As a glass house collects the sun's heat and renders it available during the time that the sun is below the horizon, so he held that the addi tional layer of air would serve to garner the warmth of the stars in quantities sufficient for all our requirements. But until lately ail tnese views, uowever plausible they might have seemed, had not been founded upon facts actually observed. It has been reserved for these days in which discoveries of the most unexpected kind are daily rewarding the labors of our physicists to see that established as a certainty which had be fore been founded merely upon consider ations of probability. Mr. Higglns, the nlivsieist anil astronomer, has hist pub lished the results of a series of innuries addressed to tlie actual measurement of the heat which we receive from the leadinir brilliants of the nocturnal sky. The instrument called the galvanome ter, which lias been made more or less familiar to many of us by the researches and lectures of Mr. Tyndall, was made use of by Mr. HIggins in tnese invcsu Tim instrument was fixed by Mr. Higging large refractor, so that tlie mijiff nf a star formed by theelKlit-inch object-glass might fall upon the surface or tlie tuennopue. it win gnu aumu tokon of tho care required in researches r tiiie snri. in mention that the appar atus had to be left attached to the tele scope for hours, sometimes for days, un til the needle whose motion marks the action of heat had come to peneci rest.

Then the needle was wiiteliiHl to I cierilliue wnemer me change of position had produced any ef fect. If in four or five minutes no signs of change were shown, the telescope was moved over the small distance necessary to bring the image of the star directly ou the face of the pole. Almost always the needle began to move as soon as the image of the star fell upon it. The tele scope was then moved slightly away again from tho star; thouecdlo was then seen to return to its place, in tins way from ten to twenty observations would be made unon the same star, so that no doubt might remain as to the motion of tho needle being really due to the star's heat. In this way it was found flint 4lm lirlrvlt f A wi( tmt a liinVA1 iltrt needle three degrees in about a quarter or an hour, fco did Keguius, the leading brilliant of Leo. the constellation at preseutadorned bv the spleudor of ruddy Mars.

Long Life. From time to time notices appear mentioning briefly or in detail instances of extraordinary longevity. The oldest person of whom we have any recollection in modern times, was Peter Zortan, a Hungarian, who died at tho age of ISO years. Parr and Jenkins were notable eases of Innrr life amoncr tho Entdish the former being about 150 antl the latter about 1G0 years of age at the time of death. Most persons liuc to live long. and many dread the approach of that moment when tne uiiat summons suaii come. ' Bacon states somewhere in his works that a certain great Lord had a clod of freshly dug earth brought into his room every morning and laid on a napkin under his nose, so that he might smell it, supposing that this rcqimcn would promote his health. Addison, in the Spectator, mentions briefly the case of .uewis uornaro, a Venetian gentleman who lived to a good old age, and who wrote an account of his own experience in tlie art or recovering and prescrviiij health. The book, which is a curiosity was written in the sixteenth century. the author or it having died at I'aiiua April 2G, 15G0. aged.lOO years. It was translated Into English by W. Jones, A B.. and an edition of it was published in Edinburgh in 17G8. The title of the work is, "Sure methods of attaining a long and healthful life." Cornaro wrote when liewns ne.irlv a hundred Vears old and his book is pervaded with practical ifood sense, cheerfulness and unaffected piety. In chapter one ho treats upon "a sober and regular life;" in chapter two nnon the "method of correcting a uau iHitlnn." The third chanter con sists of a letter to a distinguished man "concerning tho method of enjoying a complete happiness in old age," and the fourth of a treatise on the "birth and deatli of man." This curious book Is worth rcadldg. The following is a short extract from page o: r nm assured that I shall still liv tomml vears in health, and that I shall long enjoy tho pleasure of being In the world, WHICH is-cenaiiuy vitjctiihuii .iiile. when a man knows how to make : i i . -r i ngni. use right Use Ol ll.

A young man who wa3 paying his special attention to a young lady met with the following incident during one of his visits: Helng invited into the par lor to await the lady's appearance, lie entertained himself as best ho might for fsome time, and was heconiing very weary, when a little girl about five years old entered the room and began conver sation witli him. "I can always tell," said she, "when you are coming to our I house." "You can?" ho replied ; "and ! how can you tell it?" "Why, when I . .M (Mini. 4n l.n tl.Mi If 1 .1. linfrllW fn uu uiun w w oiaw. get good; and she gives me cake and i pie, and anything I want, and she sings i so sweetly when I speak to her she smiles so pleasautly. 1 wish you would stav here all the while: then I would have a cood time. But when you go off she is not so good. She gets mad, and if I ask her for any thing, she slaps and bangs me about." This was a poser to tlie young mau.

He is a man, and gone now. There is no more child hood for mm. or lor us. Life lias claimed him. When a beginning is made it is like raveling a stocking, stitch bv stitch rives way till it's all crone. Tlie house has not a child in it; there is no more noise in tne nan, boys rushing pell-mell: it is very orderly now. There are no more skates", alexia, balls or strings left scattered about. Things are quiet enough now. There is no delay for sleepy folks; there is no longer any tasir, beiore you lie uown, ol looking af ter anybody, or lucking up the bed clothes. There are no disputes to settle, nobody to get off to school, no com plaints, no importunities lor impossible things, no rips to mend, no lingers to tie up, no faces to lie washed, or collars to be arranged. There was never such a peace in tlie House: it would sound nice music to nave some leet. clatter down the front stair! Oh for some chil dren's noise! "What used to all us, that wo were hushinfr their loud laueh. checking their noisy frolic, and reprov ing tneir siamming ami oanging tlie doors?

It is like a lantern and no candle; a garden and no flowers; a brooK ami no water gurgling anu gusu- ing through its cuauuei. We want to be tried, to be vexed, to be run over; to hear children at work with all its varieties. During the sec ular days this is enough marked. But it is the Sabbath that puts our homes to proof.

There is a low and melodious thrill of children in it. But the Sab bath comes too still now. There is a silence that aches in the car. There Is too much room at the table, too much at the hearth. The bed-rooms are a world too orderly. There is too much leisure and too little noise. Alas! what mean these things? Is somebody grow ing old? Are these signs and tokens? is lire waning? II. w.
