Longchild pufft d out his chest, ant stretched himeeif generally, as it in ful enjoyment of the posthumous renown on which he loved to dwell. The excitement, however, was but tran sient. Dicks spirits were evideidly de presses, and aware that at such times he preferred to take refuge in bis owureflee t'ons, I bade him farewell, reminded, as I did so, of my promise to visit him at Gaunthope tue-Towers (a place that had descended to Lim in Cornwall) the follow ing week. " Tnen, my dear Hal " he concluded, as, with a sigh, he pressed my hand, "you, who are already notiwd oi one sad grief of mv life, shall learn a second fear ful secret, one which, I am persuaded. will, independent of our men ship, have a certain romantic inter st tor you, and on which I earnestly desire your counsel." I have recorded the foregoing conver sation in order to exhibit my friend astride of his favorite hobby, the gradual dete rioration of our species from the hale and healthy eiant, considered as cut off prematurely at seven huudred and fifty years, to the puny little contrivance now, by the combined operation of luck and care and skill, kept going fjr threescore and ten. Nor was Dick colossal only in his theories. Everything about him had a gigantic flavor and twang. He spoke, when he thought of it, hoarsely and hugely. He used the most tremendous words and phrases. He surrounded himself with weighty and ex expansive accessories. His bed might have been the consort of that of Ware. In the calm waters of his bath the university match might almost (at a pineh) uaeucti have been rowed. He wrote ttiC smallest note with a quill furnished by the eaule or the swan. His walaing-stick mighi h ve been wielded by the drum major of t h a Guards. His favorite ri ling haci was over seventeen han Is in height. Gaunthope the Towers hung, like a gloomy frown, upon the lace of a dense and loity wood. It might easily have been tne residence of one of those tremendous persons who, b.dore the days of t'ucir destroyer. Jack, regarded Cornwall with peculiar favor. Theie was a smaller m uis'on, Gaunthope Lodge, lurking in the skirts of the wood, which, when tound, proved to be somewhat like its gloomy neighbor, min i i t!u towers, and reminded you ot an iil -favored dwarf in attendance on a giant. Mr. Longciiild affecUd to regard tint appanage as of about the dimensions of a hen coop, and magni ci ntly Jelt it to tne oc'i cupation ot hU sub-loreslcr. A carriage drive about the wiHh of Regent atreet, London, gave convenient : aeee to Gaunthope-lhe-Towers, the reut porhils of which were some fifteen feet 1 high. The hall displayed a complete ma j teuui of tiuculent weapon-1 : clubs, inaC'.s, j txvo-handed swords, and the iike, suea as I might have been wi l ie 1 by Titans I was met at the station by Mr. Long I child's mail pnaeton,a machine, or rather, ; moving edifice, of alarming si to which were yoked two steeds or corresponding magnitude. The vary widp placed in my 1 hmds was of such preposterous length as to assist the illusion tnat crept over me, as we thundered heavily along, of going on a visit to Boms trienOlv giaut, and Ii hing, as I weat, in a Mick and hear ing sea.

Nevertheless, the bird of parage mnat have found sutflcier.t t int rest him, for he remained glued to l is perch in a man ner that awakened eont-raerable general interest, and a special c uiosity as to wa tt on earth he did with hiras- lf. DLk exulted in this. There was something gloomy, menaclona, gigantic (so to spoik), in this itandtng myateri maty aloof. The domestic habits ot the Cornish giant fa at a never been acertiined wit h precisian, and Mr. Longchild, r. solving thai nolij lit should be cat on th(; matter through a degenerate descendant of that hnw nted thcq, Itormh rt pilled utturnpts to allure him from his solitude.

" I don't positively insist upon your do iug either. It was only a hope, rather let me say, an expectation; for I see that your mind is made up." " To the first, yes," said Dick, refilling his immense pipe, and sending forth a volume of smoke that almost obscured him, blushes and all. " But fill your goblet It was towards the clese of a sultry Aucust

day, that a solitary horseman might have been noticed, issuing from the pictur esque defile created by the diggings of the Corburam & Treddidlem Railway, in close proximity to the sequestered and intensely Cornish village of Trecorphen. The ani mal he bestrode, though not less than seventeen and a half hands hi üb, was almost concealed by the folds of the enormous traveling-cloak worn iu deference to the inclemency oi a British summerby the rider. "An apparition so unwonted attracted to the c-iseraents more than one comely rusic face, usually on the broad grin; but to none of these did that pensive traveler vouchsafe the slightest heed, until he had arrived opposite the last dwelling: an edifice halt hid 1 en in trees, and singulir enough in struc'ure, having rather the appearance of a couple of tall dovecots, placed one upon another, with an observ atory topping Ml.

" Kno ing, as you say, my good friend, both yourself and what you style your sad history, I affirm that you have every chance and hope. You shall marry the object of your singular passion." "Harry!" exclaimed Dick, his really noble face lighting up in every massive lineament. " You good fellow ! You give me new life! Complete the wölk. Lend me your assistance." " Command it in everj thing. If taking you on my back in the momentous crisis of proposal, would give you a sufficient advantage in point of " " No je8tiug, if you love me," interrupted Dick.

" I may have permitted myself aliusons, tending vaguely in the most in tirect manner, to foster that supposition ; and herein lies the difficulty from which 1 relv upon your tried friendship, Harry, to extricate me." "Speak P " I am due, said Dick, gravely, " at Trecorphen to-morrow ; and sure I am that the whole colossal fraternity entertain the liveliest expectation that I shall then formally demand my Susan's extensive hand.

Succeed in this, and," concluded Dick, wilh quiet exultation, " I will answer for the rest." The next afternoon found me at Trecorphen. The residence of the Pettidolls was eay to die over. Everybody in the sequestered village knew, and appeared to hold in high respect, that giant family, whose anctsters, I found, had been sub stantial farmers in that vi iuity. My Sümmerns at the lofty poital was an vexed by the young laiy herself, in whose fair lar.iie face I fancied I could detect a slight shade of disappointment at the ippearancc of love's ambassador instead of love himsel She was decidedly handsome, and despite her amszinff stature, which fully confirmed Dick's computation, was, nevertheless, as brisk and graceful in her movements as a fairy ! A human mountain, designated as " Brother Will," who appeared to have been playing with the four foot nursling, presently vanished wi'h his charge; and I was leit alone with Britannia to execute my delicate mission. Space forbids me to repeat at length the conversation that, tnsued. Three things became clear. First, that the singular attachittent was rec procated ; second!y, that Miss P:-ttidoll was fully prepared for the proposal 1 was empowered to imke ; thirdly, that a persuasion that her lover was of height commensurate with her own had full possession of her mind. By way of preparation, I drew a raov ing piciure of my poor friend's present mental condition, not to sp ak of that to which he woul i infallibly b;; reduced, should mv mission, when fully declared, prove int ffectnaL Britannia was tout lud. She even shed a mighty te ;r, avowing, with qniet simplcity, that her happiness (as far as she con id judge of it), was involved in this aflelr. Uut then, ala-, her fa'her Still lying indisposed within, had peculiar tiewi with regard to his daughter's marriage, and to him she must, of necessity, reier me. Would I see him? Of course, with pleasure. And we entered. Mr. PettidoU, reclining on a conch that might have served for Og, was still in a rheumatic state ol curve, hat might (at u rough calculation) have reached, when elongated, to about ten fret and h halt II had a fiue old reverend head, and would have made an Imposing study of an ancient patriarch in his decay. To him I repeated the particular! of my mission, and expressed my hope of a favorable reply. Mr. PettidoU cleared his throat, and with language and manner somewhat above his apparent station, replied as follows: " Young gentleman, my y-ung friend, if I may call you so, I am now an aged man; and, though I hone at all times a resigned, I have not been a happy one. The remarkable proportions which Providence has allotted to my race have been the cause of much mortification, much separation from the general community of man, and, by cons- quence. much hW and curtailment of things appertaining to materia cemfblt My resolution was long 8;nc ; taken, ud hai acquired the focee of an absolute vow, never to permit one of my daughter! to marry an individual of Unusual stature.

Susan shall never wed a giant-husb mil." " Thanks to you, my dear Mr. PettidoU !" I exclaimed, starling up, and grasping as much of the hind of the good old man as mine would hold. " My friend Loo child is not, as you appre tended, gigantic, save in luart," I aode 1 ; for I caught sight of fcliasSnsan hovering within ear-shot. "Not gigantic? That is weU.

The Value of Science. Many persons have been deterred from pursuing scientific studies on a count of the cry of utilitarianism and the reproach that attends upon anything practical. There is something quite unwortöy of the age in which we live, in any such notion, as the progress of society and the ad vance of civilization in modern times depend chiefly upon the application of the discoveries of fcientific men. We never know what use mav ultimately bs made of a discovery. What appears to us at the time as a trivial and insignificant fact, may become one of the links in a great chain of practical application. When Oersted observed the deflection of the needle produced by Ihe givanic current, he could not have anticipated that a telegraph would crow out ol to slight a circumstance. Faraday's d'scovrry ot induction gave us the present form of the telegraph, and also electro plating ard electro-chemietry. The black powder in the alkali manufacturers vats in Paris, to which the name of iodine was given, was of no consequence when first discovered, but now we know that the grand application of photography depends upon it. A few years ago a German chemist announced the discovery of sugar in the beet. The account was received, like a vast number of other announcements, as a useless fict, and rather disgraceful to the man who wasted his time in such insignificant labors. Now we know that the beet sugar industry is one of the most important on the continent of Europe, involving millions of capital, and giving occupation to thousands of men. The illustrious philosopher, Faraday, succeeded in condensing a number of gases. It was an interesting experiment, but certainly no one could have predicted that some day the question ot furnishing cheap food to large cities would depend upon the application of this discovery, but such appears likely tobe the fact. The best refrigerating macnines, and the most practical method, of producing artificial cold, are founded upon the condensation of gases, especially of ammonia, by means of which we shall be enabled to transport frozen meat any distance. But not only in the production of cold is Faraday'a discovery available; we have in it the germ of a valuable motive power that id capable of extensive application. Paraday aldo discovered benzol, and for many years no me could be devised for it; we low know that the whole aniline industry, with itß msgnificent array of colors, rests upon what appeared to be a useless discoverj' ; and vet Faraday, who gave us our present form of telegraph, u ho enabled us to produce the richest colors, who put chep food within our reach, anil gave us a motive power available at all times, himself worked in poverty aud died a poor man. Professor TyndaU has just aroused the attention of the world to the great ques tion of haze and dust., and out of the agitation of th s subject will eventually grow true methods of ventilation, the SUppreS sion of cholera and tevtrs, the proper care of the poor in tenement houses, and many improvements in the sanitary con dition of mankind. Da la Hive, of Geneva, while experi menting in electricity, found that a bit of zinc would prevent the oxidation of iron, and he at once suggested its employment for this purpose. Out of tins limple fact has grown the immense industry of gal vanizing won : but that is not all, tor in the same battery De la Hive observed that the ute scratching! on one of the cups was accurately copied on the copper de posited upon it. lie mentioned the cir-cum-siance ; Jacobi took it up, and we now have electro pitting and galvano plasty c ried to CGinph te success. rastcur has been devoting yearn to the study of fermentation, and as a result oi his experiments, we are taught to know the true causes ot disease ami decay, and to inventjthe proper remedy. The workers in copper were round to be exempt from euolera, and on examination it was found that they breathed considerable sulphurous acid, aud it was at once teen that this gas, which prevents fermentation and destroys the cholera j germs, was what had all uded protection to the c ippersmiths, and the same remedy was applied with sucoes in cholera districts and in hospitals. Öir Isaac Newton discovered the solar spectrum, it was an insignificant thing to throw a beam of light onto a screen through a holj iu th-; shatter, and his neighbors thought he ought to be better employed; but what a wealth of invention has grown out of this one fact. We now dissect our light and apply each part as we want it. We can sliut uut the light and a I mil the heat. VV e can concentrate the chemical raya and take a picture. We can examine the spectrum and determine the composition of the tun, moon, and star.-, and we shall, before lou, separate the light and chemical rays from the heat, and shall btore up the heat of the ran as j our great motive power, after our coal j uud tuel have been exhausted. We cannot tell to what vast uses this discovery is destined to be applied. Professor Schroiter, of Vienna, found th tt he could convert phosphorus into a red powue-r, which had many peculiar properties: It was not so poisonus to the workmen in the match factory; it did not ignite on friction, and could be easily transported from one place to another; it was not Soluble in the same re agents as the ordinary phosphorus; and it had powerful reducing properties. It was I trifling mat ter at lirot, but has since saved the lives of many a poor person in match factories, and served an important use in the ax tor inii atloa of vermin. The catalogue of trifling discoverb s is almost endless, and we have mentioned enough to show the importance of appreclating the labors of those whoee whole life ia devoted to the good d their fellow seen. In ancient times it was said, "The proper study Of nunkiad is man,'' and acting upon that, the world stood sdill for Centuries. The study of mankind led to metaphysical mysteries and raperstiiiona. and it is only since science has dispelled these clouds and let in the light of observation, perception, and judgment, that man bas begun to enjoy freedom from such thralldom as our early phihM iphers imposed upon him. One superstition af ter another passes away betöre the clear light ol scientific inquiry, and it is not the man of science, but the metaphysician and inductive philosopher, who throws doubt and distrust and nnbell f into our r.mks The. value of scieiiUfu- study is therefore twofold; it gives us the com bt Is of civilised life, and overturns all doubt and superstition ; " it proves 11 Ibifigf and holds last that which is good." ,Scitnti jk American. Don't be in Too Mur Hurry. ÜKMF.M iiF.u this, and you will avoid many pittalls. Too many, Ksan like, f II their best hopes of success for mere trill,nf present gratification, and destroy the opportunities which would naturally eosae to them in their pathway. The aspirant for riches, the ambltloUl for honor, the uneasy :eek'T for pleasures, may find their goal, but never in their truest sense, if procured through dishonesty, intrigue, treacherous and unprincipled action, in tercourse and companionship with ti e gay and festive. Such are iu too much hurry, ar d th- ir conscience and sense are sacrificed to thil unnatural feeling ol im patience and unrest. None should bo ontitfled with what they are, but every eftort toward advancement in any direc tion should be by the strn- bane of sound Judgement and right.

Ifvoudonot want to meet with disappointments, don't be in too much hurry. If you want to keep conscience clear, and be free from anv sore temptatioas, don't be in too much hurry. Tf you covet tbe respect of others and wish their confidence, don't be in too much hurry. If you desire to be considered a man of sense and judgment, don't be in too much hurry. Ifyou hope for success, for pleasure, fame and competency, and this at no sac riflce of principle, don't be in too mi ch hurry. If you do not wish to hate yourself because of failure in any attempt to overdo a thug, thereby brineiug you into a poition before others most uncomfortable to yourself, don't be in too much hurry. And again- If von do n t wnnt to be called a fool, don't be in too much hurry to be consider' d a Solomon Exchange. ' Japanese iviMzation. The London 8-iturdfl Tferinr, :n a notice of anew work. "Li Japan Illustre, par Aim'4 Humbert," says of Japanese civilization : The purely Japanese civilization, nnhelped by European ideas, surpassed in many points the civilization of cert tin portions of Europe itself. For instance, if we compare the highlands of Bootland in the eeventeroth century with Japan at the same period, it cannot be denied that in ninny of the arts of rehnemet the Japanese very far surpassed our Gaelicspeaking neighbors, and to this dav there arc islnnds in the British Archipelago where material civilisation is incomparably inferior in the viriMy and quality of its products to the civilization of the Japanese islands. The difference is prob ably due more to climate thin to raep, f :r our Oa'-ls are naturalrjr both Intelligent and polished, yet thv have produced nothine so tonir as they have remained in their own land The Japanese civil Lea tion, as wc know it, is a combination of Parisian ingeniousness with feudalism. The Highlanders had the feudalism, under the clan f-ystcm, without the ingenvuistics. How- ver, since everv civib'zvtion Is a thing of itself, comparisons nre apt to lead us astray if wc attempt to draw inferences and tro even the shortest Per boyond the ascertained fact. For example, in one respect, that of popular elementary education, the Japanese are very superior to the French, and even to the English There is no compulsory education, the frovcrnment never interferes between parent and chil I, yet every mm and woman in Japan cm read ?nd write and keep an scconnt. BiU on the other hai;d, if we ask how f ir the Japanese have gone in the pursuit of knowledge bow far, for example, a special study, puch as medicine, has been carried we find th. m infinitely behind the most backward of the Euro pean nations. Again, in the line nrts. they carry ce rtain work ; to point of i x qnisiteness hardly known in Europe; their artistic furniture, for example, i in ifs way simply a perfect product of art i'iven tion, and their drawings aud wood cut-: are often the work of mot genuine and even great artists, who would do honor to any country But when we inquire how nur they have gone in architecture we find that in this, the earliest of the arts, the mother of the arts they have scarcely gone beyond a conveniently arranged hut fwr habitation, and s heavy overhanging root on a very insignificant edifice for reueious purposes. M Humlxrt attributes the backwardness i ft beds paneee in architecture to their peculiarly strong sense of the Iransitoriness of existence, so i!at they encamp on the earth, as il were, b r do not Bettle upon it Uh ideas of permanence. But one cannot help asking why any belief or disbt lief in th OtaCTMH unrik&iOfl lf rrwfnti om lv-ynud the grave should affect the manner of our SCI tlement on this particular planet, where man stays no longer ter having a belief in the immortality of the soul, nor s year the lesfl for looking forward to its annihilation. The Japanese are not, m die early Christians were, and as certain iater praters of prophesj appear to be in the present day, in cnily expectation of the end of all things. They see generation succeed to generation, yet v.-y build only for thepres nt. All that canbessid is, thai certain peoples have a passion for leaving great permanent iu numenta, and others have not; and further, that where thipassien does not eist, archil i , in tiegreat sense, has no chance ol a vigorous ute. The passion is very languid in England itselt at the present day; certain buiidinga are erected which will Ins', but mainly because immense strength is necessary to tbeir present utility. The if .uses of Parliament were heilt with B view to permanence, and io is the Thaoses embankment, hue the ordinary' London House is almost a3 much an encampment a? the Japanese. Oilier points to be noted about the Japanese are the simplicity of their sys tern of furnishing, in point of quality, and the compatibility of Uus simplicity with the highest and most elaborate finish in the things themselves. In England wv have usually greal quantities of furniture before we reach artistic quality, and then we reach it only in some obj. cts which areregarded as curiosities. The Japanese understand the advai t ige of having te things, and they have a knsckof doing everything in the mest convenient manner. For example, what a thoroughly practical idea it ia to have all the mats in Japan exactly of the same rise! As the mal is the most important thing in the house, and as the rooms are altered a! trill by partitions, always with reference to the mats, it is obvious that an amount of trouble is tavedin all alterations and removals by having the mat Invariable. They have a love of order and regularity, shown not only in the systematic srrangt nsentof the social hierarchy, but even In the building of their cnies For example, the Osaka is almost bs regular as a cht ss bond. They appear to ba a cl anly people. The inhabitants of certain ESojropean couetriea night imitate them in th:s reaped with advantage Phe hot bath h a daily necessary oi lrie in Japan, but it is natarsable that the Japanese never bathe lor their pleasure, in the s -a, though nature baa done cv ry thing to tempt them Ooethr was in company with a mother and daughter, when tae litter, beiag ic proved for something, blushed aud tmral into tu an Be said to the mothi r .- "How b autiful your reproach lias made your daughter I The crimson hue and th sUrery n in becomt hi r much better f an any ornament of gold or pi ails; t! ay ha bong on th" n k ol any noaiai ; these are never seen ut;eonn-rd with mesnl purity.
