I was myself present at the trial, and witnessed the spectacle of the greatest criminal of the eentart being defended by the lirst couns I at the bar of Scotland." A rumor had gone abroad that no counsel could be tnond t appear for such a monster; and, aa . testimony to the duty of counsel 'üi.l.-raH circumstances, the most celebrat ed advocates of the day, without fee or 1 aril, defended Has gang of murderers Hi.. F.,w. " .. . I ne. iaLe i-i n I' Treat or nnr he nrc'lldice. The 1 I J afternoon of the dav on which Hurk i rke was execntcd was distinguished by ir-r r.,u- colleire row. The stmh-nts t. :i fir Ivlinburgh, like iis mob, have, when roaed, alwnji been a formidable an 1 dan gerona body; and on this nrraafce, the police hariag iatrnded hita the qnadrangle to pn serve ord r BSnong the crowd which hnrrkd to the dlssecung room, a bnttk r val had ensued, attended bjsosne sererc injuries, and resulting in a trinsn nhant and glorious defeat of the authorities. To celebrate this propitious event a supper party assembled that evening in a tavern called the "Rainbow." The chair waa occupied by the bard and satirist of the c liege, a fellow of infinite jest, who made his mark on the world afterwards, but who at thai time was mainly famed and feared for the sarcastic ;ind bitingp on r of his humor. Opposite him sat the prince ol students tall, handsome, reckless, Sashing with the exuberance of y ' iful spirit, and a flw of convivial that I have- never known equalled. Among the others were two, who figure in my story. One was a student name ! Johnstone, the Thersitcs of the circle a dis igrei able Bpecisnen of a stamp of man which is generalfv to be found in every circle, without chher wit or talent, excepting the Mit and talent to make ot hers C el uncomfortable. Hold, and unscrupulous, and quick to see and seize on Weaknesses of others, he was a tlyUum, atly -Mister; people fear eil to make him their friead, aiad atfll aaore to make him if enemy, and he extorted from iiate what he never would have obtained from love, and was admitted to the most select C iteTk of the University. TIm- other -was a stalwart, handsome y ml' Iri hm n, who had done mighty execution in the mtlee of the day'; caring bui lUUe, aft. r tl e temperament of kis nation, aoont tnc merits of the conflict, 1 at hitting right and left as hir, leader told him. He was an open-browed SpanishI -oking son of Erin, half rollicking, halt ad in expression, who w n winding up a happy night; he had had a fight in the morning, and had afrolick in the evening. Misname was Power, a fdirsl student who had been but n week or two in Edinburgh He was consequently aa entire stranger to the others, and had been invi:ed to snake one of the party solely on the strength of his risk The chairman, after many a gibe and anecdote had gone round, nose In psopoao Ihe toast of the evening 14 Confusion to the pnlieo, and bad dreams to Bailie Uin- ' ' (In ''' se days the town council " 1 the CfjOege, and the obnoxious liailie had given tlie orders to the police.) At to I he tirst part of the toast," he said, "M was tupertluous, a pleonasm, for the police were in surii ramfiieiim aluasly that nothing the company could drink coold I add to it. As to the Bailie, the senllmnlll eapiensed in the toast was suitable. His tiorm tl Itatt was slumber. He slept on the bench ol Justice, for lie saw him in I r -a'.e, on a solitary aud mclanchnlj episode in his, the chairman's, otherwise M uneh ss Gse. II slept in church, for he heard him on " "Another solitary and mfilinfhfJj episo le.M suggejted the vice. ' Met there ! He heard him snore, and front its vigor and constancy the occupalion was manifestly habitual. But if Homer sonssthmsa ssspt, the Bailie sosne1: n - a'.vake.- : as he did to shame the deto I v. Uo Is asleep again by this Ihne li t I dreams to him with all the honors." The vice thereon rose to propose a contract, as be called it: the Principal of the l'ni . ri' v and the LflSd Provost ofl the City ; and this he did in the style and b the a i eat of a very celebrate.; pro t nof of d vinity. It was a great Philip psc; and it words that burned could have withered and calcined a civic functionary, Ihe unhappy Pp.vo-t mut have cease 1 fror i his troubling. He thus concluded: 1 propone that we asmB dedicate this II wing fmwi toexecrntsrmsand exorcisaM ol titat malignant star, which, moving in firmament an id the worlds of Hght, throws the whole universe out of gear by its ill-omened aberrations, and propiti- .' and do homage to that bright particuuf himinary, around whose beneficent and mellow radiance revolve the planets of our hearts and hopes." Power, who had once heard the celebrated orator himself, was charmed and delighted with the copy ; and warming with the wine and the exeit -merit, added hi- full share to the evening's amusement. Every one was cordial and eosBTteons to him excepting Johnstone, wtio Kesned rather jealous of hid ppularitv, all the more that one or two shafts, levelled at Powvjl with uf the latter perceiving them, hoi been rathe- roughiy warded off by the vice. At last he also rose to propose a toast. " It was," he said, 44 the Sister Isle, and our gallant allies, among whom," said he, breaking into a racy brogue, of which he was quite a master, I need not particularize our lxieud over tho way. who he if I do ant profess to know. "He came to us suddenly, and like most of his countrymen wifl probably sc depart ; where be I lives I do not know, for his countrymen Idem disclose their habitat ; but if pug- ' aacKy and anmrJi the fruits of that Choice esculent of his native land will make a man famous, famous he will be. May his aal never be shabbier, be his eat never more threadbare. May Hie i its fly his garret, the mice leave his sausages in peace, and may his tick be nded to a week." The undisguised insolence of Johnlie's address did not detract from its vivacity, and the audience Hushed and applauded. I'ower row to riturn thanks with iinruilled mien, and spoke with lar more aocnt tnan before. " Hh waa prond I pleased, he was, at the kindness of h fhtreman.

Long Me to them, and the more shindies tie Setter, if 1 1 y always ended in a blowout, or whether they did or no. As to the worthy gössen who hid proposed his health, he had made his acquaintance tin der circumstance which bound tb"m together, for he ( Power) caught him in his arms when Berge ant Macbean (Cr mwell's curse upon him !), with one hand on collar and the other on croup, dropped him aver the balustrades like a half-quarter of corn." The shouts which greeted this allusion, which was literally true, stung Johnstone to the quick. Seizing his tumbler, he flung its contents in the speaker's face, and then rushed from the room. Great commotion of course ensued. Power was white and furious with rage, and in his first transports nearly vented it on those who tried to prevent bin from following his assailant. He calmed down utter a while, but took no more part in the evening's festivities, and was overheard na'urcctiy uiaue, 10 aci as meuiaiors as mediators in the matter, and left the party e.;rly and alone. The next news which the college circleheard was four days afterward. It was reported that Johnstone had been found dead in the "common stair." as the staircase to separate stories or flats is called in Edinburgh, in which Power's rooms were. The report turned out to be only too true. A policeman said, that a man had rushed hurriedly p. ist him about live o'clock (it was January), and exclaimed "There is a man dying in the stair No. 27," and passed on. He went to the entry, and on ; the lauding close to Power's lodgings he found a man stretched on the Stone Boor. 1 He raised him, and found that he was quite dead. He had a severe cut over the eye. His collar was thrown open, and he bad faint marks of pressure round his neck. On conveying him to the police office he was recognised as the. unhappy stndent. He was toiind to have died, as the medical men thought, from concussion of the brain, assisted by strangulation. Their opinion was that the deceased had been seized by the throat, and thrown violently down. His watch aud money were un-di-turbed. Little as Johnstone was liked, this sad and tragic end made a deep and melancholy improsion on his circle; and thoughts naturally turned to his altercation with Power, and its probable result On inquiring, it appeared that Power had not Uecn seen at college since the supperparty; he had not been seen at his lodgings since Johnstone had been found. Things looked so suspicious that a warrant was issued for his apprehension. The second night after the murder was discovered, l'owci was apprehended walking quietly along the South Bridge in the direction of his lodgings. When seised, he at first resisted, and demanded to know what the officefS meant by their violence, but, on being shov n the warrant, at once submitted, simply saying that they were wrong and would find out that they were so. He was detained in the police cells all night, and in the morning was taken before the shc-iil. The officials were proceeding to take what in Scotland Is called his declaration that is, any statement the accused may think :it to make when the prisoner said, " It may safe you all trouble, gentlemen, if you understand for oust that I do not intend to answer any questions." In vain they pressed him to explain Where he had spent the two plecedmg days; he remained absolutely silent. lie evinced neither indignation nor sorrow, anJ was not apprehensive or excited in the slightest degree; but speak he would not, and the authorities did not know What to make of him. Several of his friends visited him; but, although he received tbem courteously, he showed no desire for their society, at least for the firt two or three days. As time went on his natural gaiety seemed to return, and he would chat away in his cell as if no such charge as one oi muruei nung over him. The Crown inquiry was completed ; ha was committed for tri.d, end served with an indictment, and Iiis friend, the vie 3, who was studying 1 r the law, urged him to employ a solicitor fr his defence. To this he eonsonted, and a very w ort hy and well-known practitioner paid him a visit in prison. "A rery Btelanckcl business this, Mr. Power." " Faith it is, Mr. Stuart. I am very sony for the poor deTiTi mother." " But it is very serious lor yourself," " So they tell me; but somehow 1 can not look grave enough on it. They say I may be hanged; but for the life OI me I cannot see it." "This levity is hardly suitable, sir, in your position, nor is i; wise. Y u srould not speak to the sheriff, I understand, and you were rigid, Lut your own Safety rei pures that you should have no reserve w Ith me." " Well, sir. I shall have no reserve. That paper (pointing to the indictment) is a bag full Of he V " Ol course I understand. You mV you did not murder the man." " Not ;in hncb of me." " But pray explain your-elf fully, Mr Power; tell ine all about the supper, and the quarrel, and what you did next day, and where you wer' the night befiirehsst; and whether you and t!.i poor fellow met. It Is needless to conceal things from me : otherwise I eanaot serve you." "Well, Mr. Stuart, bnl you can asrvi me, although I have nothing to tell you." " In what way f" Ily putting these two advertisements in the Irish and Glago.v newspapers," stid the prisoner. The advertisements were as follows If ADMIRAL SKY at OUR RBfXMXBCTS THE VMiini.' mail to whom lr- it - i bed UW volCSBOM in ih: Fiji l-; i.il- on 1) i.ir.l the MaM of Lorn MaSMf, h- will wiadat him 'i in sf "i''ni! m-rvlceif be irulaenu hi allre.- to Mr. .J-,lin Mtuart.

You will also subpoma the parsons whose names end sddrcsaCS are here," binding bin a paper, "and hold no communlcation with either. And I have no other msftructiona." The solhätor shook his head, plainly believing the m m to be mad. He left him, however, taking the advertisements along with him, in perpfexitV how to a-t, and instead of going bonsa, went straight to the house ol Mr. C, the Celebrated advocate in Charlotte BqUATe, and to him he stated histroiildes. " Anl now, wt.nt would you advisr- me to dot" "Do what the laddie bids ycu, John." " It is very irregular not to examine the Witnesses " " Yon are little better than a cfwf, John.

He is a fine young fellow, and all the gentleman, and my mind mis gives nie he does not know his danger." 44 1 never call on my clients, even in more fashionable residences. 44 But you might make an excuse, sir, to co and see him. I am sur-' vour heart would warm to him ot once." So the kind-hearted and eccentric bar rister promised to lo uk in on the prisoner next afternoon. He found him sitting with the chairman and the vice ri the supper-party, in a perfect torrent of merriment, little appropriate either to the circumstances or the place. The young men knew the distinguished counsel, and rose and bacame si lent when he entered. Power, however, although he bowed courteously, did not seem la recognize his visitor's name, even when it was announced. 44 1 have come to pay an afternoon visit to my trieml here," said the barrister. " I am glad to find him with two such supporters salvage men. But my friends the savages, you had better withdraw. 1 wish to have your prey all to myself." The two accordingly departed, and Mr. C. was left alone with the prisoner. 44 1 suppose I should make an apology for my intrusion," said the lawyer, 44 but all the strange nooks of this city are famil iar to me ; and, laddie, I thought s friend in need might not be unwelcome.'' In the homely kindliness of his address, and the Doric plainness of his speech, there was a dignity and elegance about the demeanor of the visitor that bespoke the well-bred gentleman. Power was at first startled, and then subdued by his manner. 41 1 am sure I am much beholden," be said. " Might I ask to what I am indebted for this honor?" 44 To your going to be hanged," said the other, bluntly 44 But there go two words to that," said Power. " They will not hang an innocent man in this blessed country of yours." "Won't they though? They hanged Burke, alter my friend the Dean had proved him to be a saint." A panse ensued, for Power had little to reply to the flattering parallel. "In plain words, my lad, I am sorry for you. There is a secret which you do not wish to disclose. I do not know who you are, or where you come from, bot I am sure you area stranger, and I believe thai you are innocent. Friends are not so easily found by the stranger and the wrongfully accused that you should reject an honest offer. Confide in me I shall be secret as the grave." I'ower looked at him for a minute, and then, a sodden revulsion seizing hiuo, burst Into a Hood of tears. 44 1 am ashamed," he said at last, " to give way thus, but I am quite alone how much you do not know the most unfortunate of men, and, in this, wholly innocent." ' Tell me the tale plainly, my boy, and may be I may find a remedy." The prisoner told his tale. What it was the sequel must disclose. The day of trial had come. Tlie prisoner was placed at the bar, the judges, in scarlet and white, defiled into court, and the clerk called, in a loud voice : " Charles Power, stand up, and listen to the indictment against you." The appearance of the prisoner excited great interest in court, which was crowded with students and the public. Tiie Lord Advocate, ns public prosecutor, sat on one si le of the table within the bar, assisted by other counsel. On the other side sat Mr. C. asd a junior counsel. A strange smile came over the face of the prisons r when his name was called. He rosa, however, with a glance at his COUSel, aud pleaded " Not guilty " with a firm voice. The case made by the Crown authorities was one which startled the students by its strength and compactness. 'I "hey called the students who were at the "Rainbow" to prove the quarrel. They proved that Power d id not go to College on Monday, the 35th of January, that Johnstone was seen to go up the common stair on the afternoon of that day ; that persons who lived next door heard a violent altercation in Power's room about four oclo k ; that the person who passed the policeman and gave the alarm was Power; and that I'ower left by the Glasgow OOacfa at six o'clock, and returned to Edinburgh that night, remaining until Wednesday at a hotel. The metltcal men proved that the Cause ol death was-concussion of the brain, accompanied by strangulation. In all inataneei Ihe prisoner was distinctly identified. The notion of an olibi was appar ently hopeless. Mr. C. made but little attempt at CTOSQ examination. He extracted some merriment out of an irascible stage-coach, and succeeded In creating some confusion as to where and when Power left the (ilas gow coach. But the proof of his return was quite clear. Of the doctors the counsel only asked a few questions. " You spoke about strangulation. How wa I it produced ?" " I cannot tell." 44 Pressure on the throat produces strangulation ?" It does." 44 Any sort of pressure V" 44 Any which is sufficiently close and tight." " Hanging produces strangulation?" " Yes." ' Was this man hanged, doctor?" 44 No, of course not." 44 Why, 4 of course not?' " 44 Because there is bo reason to think he was." 44 Any other reason for 4 of course not?' " "No" 44 Too may go," and go he did, after say ing more, and implying much more than he meant. The cae looked very black, and was closed by ha Crown reading the njtmtawsi made when Power refused to answer the sherilfs questions. The audience were greatly excited, but the prisoner himself maintained a demeanor perfectly tranquil. He was rather moved Whan the witnesses described the grie! of Johnstone's family, but except at this stage of the trial he evinced no emo tion whatever. "Call Admiral Seymour," said Mr. C. A tall, weather-beaten man, somewhat stately, stepped into tho witness-box, and was sworn 44 Admiral, do you know why you have been aaked to come here?" 44 No, sir, I do not, and I think it would have he n more civil to have told me. I know nothing about Mr. Power, or any one of that name." 44 No one has had the civility to ask you what you were going to say?" 41 Yes ; a gentleman came from the Crown office; I told him he kie was much as I did." 44 1 believe you left Belfast by the steamer which sailed on the night of Sunday the 84th of January?" 44 1 did." 44 Do you recollect a conversation you h ul with a young gentleman about voli noes ?" 44 1 remember it and uim very well. was a very intelligent follow, and talked together most all the night." "Were you fellow travelers up He the Clyde to Glasgow ?' 44 We were. " When did you arrive in Glasgow " 44 Abovt otke o'clock in Ihe afternoon." " Where did you part with him r" " I took him to the Western Club, of which I am a member, and gave him lunch, and we parted there." (To the prisoner ) " Stand up if you please. Is that the man ?"

"It is." 44 Have you any douW of that ?" "None whatever." The Crown rose to cross-examine. u There must be some mistake, admiral. Look at him again." " There is no mistake. That is the man. I should know him anywhere. 44 lid you sL.c. MI,y om o him?" 4' Nbt that I remember. But, since you are so pressing, I should like to hear him speak." The judge said thero could be no objection to that, and told the prisoner to ad dress a remark to the witness. 44 An, admiral, do you recollect what happened to irermol ltooney s cow on her birthday ?" said the prisoner. The reminiscence was plainly a diverting one, for the admiral laughed outright, and said it was the same funny fellow beyond all doubt And, strange as it was, the jury Boomed to think so too. And the admiral was allowed to retire without further question. " Call Miss Bridget Maloue," said Mr. C. And a very pretty, ladylike young woman stepped into court, accompanied by her mother. 41 You are the daughter of Mr. Malone, the banker of Belfast?" said Mr. C. M Yes, I am." 41 Do you remember traveling to Belfast by the coach from Wateribrd on the d of January?" " Yes, sir." 44 You traveled inside?" 44 Yes, sir." 41 Had you any fellow-travelers?" 44 Yes, said Bridget, with a smile, "that gentleman," pointing to Power, 44 was with me." "All the way ?" " Yes." " Was he agreeable?" 41 Very pleasant, sir." u Have you ever seen or heard of him since ? " No, sir. I saw an advertisement in the Belfast newspaper, which I knew must be from him, and so 1 am here to day." 11 VV hen did you arrive? 41 Only a few hours ago." " Did you know why you were want ed ? " "Not in the least." " You have ne doubt it is lie?" "He is not easily forgotten, sir," said the girl, Innocently, but with a blush. " Di l he make love to you then? in terposed the opposite counsel. ".No sir, unless with his eves. ou know how. sir." ' I wish I did," said that functionary. "There was nothing more tender between you?" " h you mistake altogether we were very Danny. 1 hat was all, and 1 was sorry when the journey was over." " And so was 1," interposed the pris oner. Yes, that is bis voice. If you make him say, 'Ott in the stilly nigut, my lord. dd the girl, turning to the bench, "ynu would understand." "Shall 1 ask him to sing it?" said Mr. c. "Really," said the Lord Advocate, 44 this is ouite unusual and irregular." He was rather nettled with the evidence. "No," said Mr. ('. j "it is a case of identity. Identity of voice may be as important as that of feature Do you wish" (turning to the wi ness) 44 to be continued in your opinion by hearing his voice ? 44 1 have no doubt about Lini; but he Says it very sweetly." "rrisoner, said the judge, "you have heard wbal has passed. Can you say any ol t be verses? Thus adjured, Power recited the second erse ol that sweetest ot ah .Moores melodies, with great taste and expression. The witness listened with delight, and at the end exclaimed 44 1 was sure of it. Nobody ever said all 4 but me departed1 but himself." He had said so, and the evidence was irresistible. Tin- waiter at the Western Club, the clerk at the coach office, and the guard ol the mail all spoke of his having been in Glasgow on Monday until four o'clock, and having left it by the coach that evening. He arrived in Edinburgh, as the Crown witness had said, at nine o'cloc k at night. The chain was complete, and all idea of concert was excluded by the fact that none of the witnesses knew wdien they came Into court the reason of their being summoned. The case looked like one of mistaken identity; but the strange- thing was that the accused had never denied that he was the student in question, and seemed from the first to be familiar with all around him. The Crow n had no choice but to abandon the prosecution, and the prisoner was acquitted; but the mystery which the trial had thrown over the whole affair created an unpleasant impression, and he left Hdinburgh next day. cry shortly atterwards a fact transpired which rendered it at least doubtful whether the crime had been committed at all. Two medical students, who were friends of Johnstone, resided at the topol the same staircase. Both of these students had left Ivlinburgh rather suddenly immediately alter this event, and it was not known where they had gone. But it transpired that they had been in the habit of making experiments in strangulation on themselves not an unusual thing at that time: and it came to be believed that Power's counsel at the time of the trial had information that Johnstone came by his death in thai way, and that the others In their terror had hud down his body at Power's door. The nine days' wonder soon subsided, and gave place to new topics ; and it was many years afterwards that I heard the true version of this singular tale. It leemi there were two brothers, twins, of the name of Power, who were left orphans, and alm0Stfwith0Ut relatives or connections, when they were mere children. They were so wonderfully alike that those who knew them best could rarely distinguish them, and the old maternal grandfather who brought them up took care that they should be educated separately. Reynold, the eldest, assumed the name of Reginalds, .as he succeded to a small property through his mother. The brothers, after the death ot their grandfather, being alone in the world, bad the most devoted, even romantic affection for each other, although at the time of this story tiny had not met for several years. Reginald had received wrlterahfp to India, and when the events I have spoken of occurred was on his way to pay his brother a farewell visit. Johnstone and I'ower had nu t that altcruoon and Power had knot keti him down, and was horrified an hour or two afterwards to And John Stone lying dead at his door. In his alarm he Immediately started off by the coach which left for Glasgow at six o'clock, to meet his brother, and consult what was to be done. The coach stopped at a stage where it met the other, and there the brothers resolved on the romantic course of changing their identity Power going to London aa Itcynolds.and Reynolds going to Edinburgh as Power. The rest Is easily con oved; but Reynolds remained Pow er to the end of his life, and never would hear of resuming either his name or hk estate.

" Will there be any children, I wonder, among us a generation or two hence?" sighed Hotnen tfethe othf rnight.up sa the f casion of his last juvenile parly for the nassen ; and realty, when 1 looked alout Ii. e. I could scarcely feel astonished at his inquiry. The room, indeed, was full of children in one sense, but in another there was not a child to be seen. It was an assemblage of little men and women. The dancing was as stately as a minuet ; and euch duodecimo dame had a card in which to set down her engagements. I heard one of them refuse a most gallant cavalier (in puce velvet ami lace) her hand for the lancers, np n the ground that it had been previously promised to another; and yet she did not dance that set. 44 And why," said I, "my little lady, did you not dance with that gentleman? I am sure he looked very good-natured t 14 Good-natured ? yes," returned she, shrugging her small shoulders; "but how unfortunately plain!" This young person was about eight years old. Mrs. Housewife bad empowered me to act as one of the masters of the ceremonies she termed it 44 helping to keep order;" but any post of that kind would have been a perfect sinecure. 44 Romping " was as little likely to take place among these decorous Lilliputians as scalping or the actual cautery. The least approach to it was regarded with ineffable disdain. Eren awkwardness was visited with the utmost severity of remark by these small ladies. 41 He hangs upon one so," was the vcrdkt passed on fine young beau, w ho had just taken to 44 stickups," and looked like a clergyman in miniature. Another was rejected by a sweet little maiden of eleven, upon the ground that he had danced with her twice already. 44 Ami are you so inconsistent us all that?" inquired I, deferentially. 44 No," said she frankly ; "I like him as well as any in the room. But I don't like being laughed at: and people do laugh If one dances more than twice with the same person." She was actually afraid of "being talked about?" 1 overheard two little female dots of six or seven making conversation. They had got very friendly, and one expressed her hope that they should see more of one another. " My sister yonder," (pointing to a damsel of eleven) 44 is at home- Wednesday from three to seven. We should be so glad to see you." Instead of the indiscriminate rush w hich used to follow the announcement of supper when we were young, these dignified juveniles went down In couples and talked the same twaddle on the stairs which their seniors us.- Inquiring sedately of one another whether they had been lately to the theatre, or were going out of town. At the repast itself, it, was thought vulgar to admire; as for bursting Into applause at the sight of any gorgeous dainty, as youth was surely wont to do to have given away to such impulse would have been considered barbaric. ( Mi the other hand, depreciatory criticism was as Ireely exchanged as among the most fashionable grown-up society. Professor Puzleton's son and heir, aged 7, happened to be my neighbor, lie was prosecuting his attentions to a little golden-haired fairy on the other side of him in a moat characteristic manner. Having inherited the faculty of analytic investigation from his parent, he was taking the gilt off tho conjurer's tricks which had hi at been performed upstairs, and preaching to his beloved object upon the text of the hollowness of things In general. Presently he took up a highly ornamental cracker, and in a loud and distinct, voice 'Tie very echo of his father's lecture-room tone observed: 44 These crackers were made at home." I saw the c dor come into Mrs. Housewife's face when on finding it did not explode, he added, 44 Ah, I thought so." Another young gentleman of somewhat less tender age, who, it seemed to me, had had quite as much champagne as was good for him, was ceaseless In his importunities for port. 44 Port wine, I say !" " Port wine, will you F" were the observations he addressed to every waiter, wilii increasing Irritation. Now, in his ignorance of the tastes oi' the rising generation, their host provided BO port wine, and the indignation of his very respectable butler at its being demanded in this public manner was a charming srjectacte. I saw him growing redder and redder w ith each reiteration of the request, which he nevertheless affected to ignore. When the little ladies retired from the table, some of the little gentlemen remained to discuss matters of general interest, with their little legs as wdde apart as they would go, and their little thumbs in the armholcs of their waistcoats, and among o'hers was my bacchanalian friend, as importunate as ever. "They have got no port tX this house; think of that!" cried he. Then Housewife, wishing to discover the young gentleman's reason for wanting port, as. well perhaps as to remove this stigma from his character for hospitality, caused a bottle of the desired liquor to be brought. 44 Now, why were you 'so anxious for that w ine, my young friend ?" inquired he 44 Well, you sec, I've had I great deal of dancing; and though your Fizz' (by w hich he meant champagne) is well enough, there's nothing like port wine to pick I fellow up." From Nbsaqneut inquiries, I discovered that this gentleman had just arrived at his teens; in hud seen, as the novelists say, only thirteen summers! Surely Housewife's remark upon the probable extinction of the genus inan oßeüudis the common child as it used to be was not without, good grounds I am bound to add, however, that the rising generation are as sharp as needles ; perhaps, their brain, forced into premature activity, will soffen at the period when it w as wont to become well seasoned and mature; but at present their intelligence is acute. During the course of thai evening Professor Puzzleton entertained us with pne of the very bestconundrumsthat lever heard in my life. It was one of that complicated kind, it is true, which excited the wrath of Sydney Smith, who deemed that a man should be hurried to execution w ithout heing permitted to explain the relation ol his " third " t(, his "fourth;" but it was excellent for all that: In mv flrsi my MCOttd cat ; My third and fourth 1 ate; The answer to which is like Columbus' egg problem very easy when wo have la mied what it is. fjMwsata (Mir juveniles applauded it exceedingly, and quite appreciated it; but what was still more curious, when the Professor ! added as a pendant to the above, Under my InS my reeoad mi I think you" 11 own thtc QaM M gOOd I these waa quite a roar of juvenile voices , that had all guessed ight.

24, 1870. Magnificent Distances. Astronomkus estimate that some of the mosi distant stars, seen by Lord Rosses telescope, give to the earth thu rays of light which left them .V),000 years ago h iving taken all that time, at the rate ol J0Ü.0C0 miles, or tight times round our earth, In one second, to reach us ; that the r;tys emitted now will not reach our solar system until another 50,009 years has passed away. Take our earth foraccntral point, and one of these distant stars being due east aud another due west, their distance from each other would be double this distance from the earth, or, 100,000 years would be consumed in the passage of rays of light from one to the other more time than is allotted to three thou sand generations of the human race. If the time so occupied is inconceivably vast, how can we form any conception ot the distance? Multiply the 100,000 years, reduced to seconds, by 200,000, and you get the distance, between two such stars, in miles ; but the number is absolutely overwhelming. But we have only begun to look a com paratively small distance out, iuto inlinite space, or perhaps, into, to us, the Ulimited creation. We may imagine a million of stars placed in a straight line, each as far distant from its next as the two we have above supposed,-and yet the distance between the two last extremes would be too Short, for a measure to measure across the vast creation, though extended over new space once in each minute, lor a million years. How vast infinite that Eternal Mind which filled these vast spaces with the creations we are able to see and contemplate, and whose presence intelligently tills the entire bounds of infinite space ! whose knowledge and power are not exhausted on the grand, the sublime system of the universe, but also employed in giving and sustaining life to the myriads of the microscopic insects in all the vast universe, without diverting his attention at any time from either the greatest or smallest object within the range of our conceptions ! Hw appropriate, to turn our eyes from all this vastness, and look at ourselves, inhabitants of this little 44 dirty speck, men call earth!" How diminutive the size of man's body compared with these vast distances ! How short his earthly duration, when measured by the vast ages and periods involved in the creation of the universe! How contracted the capacities of his mind, compared with the all-embracing intelligence of that powerful mind who originated, preserves and regulates the boundless creation ! How proper to repress the swellings of pride, to thus discover our own nothingness, and how appropriate to humble ourselves before that Being, who gave and preserves our existence ! yifional. How to Judge Books. Would you know whether the tendency of a book is good or evil, examine in what state of mind you lay it down, lias it induced you to suspect that what you have been accustomed to think unlawful may, after all, be innocent, and that that may be harmless which you hav hitherto been taught to think dangerous? Has it tended to make you dissatisfied and impatient under the control of others; and disposed you to relax in that sell-government, without whieh both the laws of God and man tell us there can be no virtue, and consequently no happiness? Has it attempted to abate your admiration and reverence for what is great and good, and to diminish in you the love ol your country and your fellow creatures? Has it addressed iic"lt to your vanity, your selfishness, or any other of your evil propensities? Has it defiled the imagination with what is loathsome, or shocked the heart with what is monstrous! Has it disturbed the sense off right and wrong which the Creator has implanted in the human soul? If so if you are conscious of all or any of these effects or if, having escaped from all, you have felt that such were the effects it was intended to produce, throw the book into the fire, whatever name it may bear in the title page! Throw it into the fire, young man, though it be the gift of a friend ; young lady, away with the whole set, though it should lathe prominent furniture of a rosewood bookcase. So uthy. Curious Fads in Began! to Sound. The following curious observations in regard to the transmission of Bound have ben carefully verified by an extended series of experiments : The whisile of a locomotive is heard 3,300 yards through theair; the noise of a railroad train, 3,800 yards; the report of a musket and the bark Of a dog, 1,800 yards; an orchestra or the roll of a drum, 1,600 yards ; the human voice reaches to the distance of 1,000 yards; the croaking ot frogs, IHJO yards; the chirping of crickets, 800 yards. Distinct speaking is heard in the air from below up to a distance of 600 yard; from above, it is only understood to a range of 100 yards downward. It has been ascertained that an echo is well reflected from the surface of smooth water only when the voice comes from an elevation. Other similar phenomena connected With the transmission of sound have been observed, but the results disagree either from inacenrrey in the observations or from the varying nature of the circumstances atlcctn.g the numbers obtained. Such variations oeeur to an extent of 10 or 'JO per cent, and even more. The weather's being cold and dry, or warm ami wet, are the chief influencing causes. In Ine lirst tvise, the sound goes to a greater, and, in the second, to a lesser distance. AVr York TeehnaloguL What Has He suhawl The Albany fff thus sensibly replies to a statement made in the New York Ueraid that during the last twenty years William B. Astor lias an managed a fortune of twenty millions as to roll it into sixty millions : 44 "Suppose he has, what then?

The happiness increases with their earnings up to a certain point the point necessary to secure them , the comforts of Hie, say $2,000 a year. All beyond this is super tluous. Heing mperfluous, it is productive Of no good whatever. The richer the man, the greater is the probability that his sons will live on billiards and die in the inebriate Ssylum. With contentment and 2,000 a year a man may be as happy as a prince. Without contentment you will be' miserable, even if your wealth equal the rent rolls of Cruseus."

Some young folks laugh at these sntiq lated Saures, but those better bred tr.-at them with respect, and find some-thing touching in the faded old suits, the withered old faces, and the knowledge that those 1 mely old ladles have lost youth, friends and often fortune, and are patiently waiting to be called away from a world that seesns to have passed by aud forgottea them. Well, ac I slipped and seuftb! along, I watched the little black bonnet in front, xpecting every minute to MM it go down, " 1 trjrhtg to hurry, that I might olier my help.
