The bi-centenary of Benjamin Franklin's death is celebrated by a protrait of "Poor Richard'" on the cover of the magazine and by a paper on "Franklin's Trials as a Benefactor," by Emma Repplier. This makes us realize, at least a little, the difficulties endured by this great philanthropist. Wimer Bedford concludes his "Memories of Some Generals of the Civil War" by interesting recollections of General McPherson, Howard, Dennis and others.

The verse of the month is attuned to the spirit of "a sunbeam in a winter's day" and the "Walnuts and Wine" department makes its bow to its many friends, and a Happy New Year!

So far as experiment and ob servation can discover matter can neither be created nor destroyed. On the surface facts seem tu contradict this assertion, for any particular portion ol matter may be decomposed and resolved into its constituent parts so that it seems to have disappeared, because the form under which we knew it is nc longer present. In reality, however, no diminution in the quantity of existing matter has taken place. One proof of this is easily afforded by combustion. If we allow a piece of wood or coal 01 any combustible solid body to "bui'L awajV there will, as we all know, be. aslies remaining. If while the combustion is going on we take means to preserve not only the ashes, but also every part of the body which would ordinarj ly be dissipated, as smoke and steaic and then weigh all the different sub stances, solid, liquid or gaseous, that we have obtained, we shall land the combined weights equal to the original weight of the body itself.
