The following is given a the origin
of the little hymn, "Hold the Fort,'' as
sting by Mr. San key. and which lias
grown so popular: During the late war,
a party of Union soldiers w ere besieged
in a small fortification in the mountain#
of Tennessee. For many days they had
held out. bravely fighting, a bruve men
always fight, but at last, when their
supply of provisions had run out, when
their ammunition wits getting low. and
famine and suffering weep staring them
in the face, they began to 10.-e all hope
and seriously thought of surrendering,
•lust when their suffering had reached
its height, and human endurance was
well nigh worn out, Uie.v saw, on the
mountain top beyond, a soldier waving
v a signal flag. Kagerly they w -itched
ilie messenger ant/eagerly they read the
welcome message: "Jfrdd the fort; I
am coming. SHEKMUN." This commu
nication raised their drooping spirits—
hunger and fatigue were forgotten—
like men they did "hold the fort," and
the rescue came. If you were to hear
San key sing this song, and particularly
the last line, you would say that i* was
cheering, set to music.
Hitter Beer and Ale
Affluent, in one case ut leat, has
played an important part In fixing the
public taste, since the bitter beer of
Burton-on-Trent was at first, for medi
cinal purpose, brewed w holly for In

vessel outward bound with ale, and the
sale by auction of her cargo of pleasant
bitterness, brought about the introduc

rhymingly recorded as having been in

period. If acts of Parliament could
have prevented the innovation, the tall
stems and graceful tendrils of the hop
plant would never have been a distin

have presumed to mingle the infusion

THE USE or DYNAMITE IN CLEARING
LAND. —The value of tins explosive in
agricultural operations, has hern favor
ably shown in a recent clearing of land
in Ireland. The ]%nd was so covered
with boulders its to he useless on ac
count of thocost of removing thein, un
til dynamite was tried. Charges of two
oum es in a six-inch hole shattered im
mense sunken boulders, so that they
could be removed with ease, and the
pieces used in building walls without
dressing. I,oo*e boulders were broken
up by placing charges of dynamite
upon them, and covering these with
other boulders. The explosion broke
both boulders into fragments fit for
building stone. We have seen dyna
mite used u itb jerfect succeM in blow

.4 tmosphrrf of Planetary ftotlirs.—
Telescopic oheervatious appear to leave
no reasonable doubt tiiat the planets,
liestde* our own, have an encircling
atmosphere . indeed, the atmosphere*
around the plauele are thus made as
palpable to sight a-s the clouds which
boat on our own. Venus and Mercury
are enveloped in thick atmospheres ;
in the former, the phenomenon i* es
pecially conspicuous, so that the morn
ing ana eveniug twilight may almost
le seen iu that distant world. The at
mosphere also of Mar* is in like man
ner made apparvtd. the clotul* m-eii
floating on it ullow iugof no uncertainty
a* to the fact.
Hut the ascertained existence of
clouds in the planet* prove* more than
the mere presence* of atmosphere upon
them. An atmcaphere is necessary to
support cloud*, but it is not to be in
deutitied with them. Water.as i* well
known, is converted into va|H>r by the
agency of the sun and wind. This va
por, when it escapes from the surface
of the liquid, is generally lighter, bulk
for buik, than that portion of the at
mosphere contiguous to it—it rise# iuto
more elevated regions, where, hv the
agency of cold and by electricity, it is
made to resume it* liquid state, nut in
such minute particle* that it tloat* and
form* those semi-opaque masses called
cloud*. (Ireat ditlicultie*. however,
obstruct inquiries of this nature, with
respect to most of the planets; and
the very presence of those atmosphere*
and the clouds with which they are
loaded, offers a serious impediment to
ascertaining the character of their sur
face.
Ilydroyenu*! Iron. —M. Caillotet. in
a paper presented to the French Acad
emy, contributed the following inter
esnug points to the literature of thin
somewhat obscure subject. It a solu
tion composed of mixtaie of the
chlorides ot iron ami ammonium i* de
composed witli the battery, there will
lie found at the negative pole an ac
cumulation of metallic iron iu masse*
of brilliant luster, great brittlenesa,
and hardness. From tbia iron after
being washed, either under water or
any other liquid, bubble* up a gaa
which is pure hydrogen. In the air
the iron only lose* a part of the bydro
geu which it contains. A specimen
weighing 0.9 grm., kept for 15 day* in
an open tube, gave when heated 1* v.
of gas* or more than half of w hat it
contained atthemonnntof preparation.
A fragment of iron placed under a test
tul>e tilled with watef heated to dOdeg.
or 70 deg. (C.) cause* a tutnultnoua
disengagement of gas. One volume
of iron contain* on an average 340 vol
ume* of gas. If a piece of liydrogen
ir.ed iron is approaches! to a burning
body, the disengaged hydrogen burns,
and the metal is surrounded with a
light tiame. If a piece of this galvanic
iron, previously heated, is employed as
the negative pole of a voltameter, the
hydrogen of the decomposed water es
cape* in abundance ftom the surface
of the metal, but none of it appears to
be occluded. Ilalvanic iron may read
ily be powdered, but after heating it
acquire* a certain degree of ductility.
Gat Hurnrrt. —A considerable amount
of the illuminating power of gas is
known to be lost in using an ordinary
burner. lieeause the temperature of the
interior of the tiame is too low to ef
fect the complete combustion of the
carbon, aud without which no perfect
result can be expected.
One of the most simple arrange
ments designed to meet tiiis difficulty
—a Belgian device—consist* in intro
ducing a strip of platinum lietween
tbe openings of a common fish-tail bur
ner, against which the gas plays, and
which, when heated, is claimed to
cause the complete combustion of the
gas. at the same time also diminishing
its flow. The various photometric ex
periments made in this connection, fix
the illuminating power at double that
of the same auiouut of gas consumed
with some of the ordinary burners. The
acccideutal bending of the platinum is
prevented by four copper wires at
tached to the burner.
A similar object has been anccoss
fuliy accomplished with the ordinary
tiah-tail burner, by slipping or screw
ing a cap, with a slit in the top, over
it; the gas is discharged into the very
small cavity tliua formed, and, as is
well understood, is ignited after pass
ing through the slit.
A Gat Shodoir. —A striking and cu
rious experiment, allowing the supe
rior weight of carbonic acid gas over
air, may be made by projecting the
shadow of the gas, as it is poured from
its containing vessel, upon a screen.
The latter should IK; of white paper
and bright sunlight should fall oil the
stream of gas, which should bo poured
from the spout of a pitcher held within
10 inches of the screen. The curious
result, of a shadow produced by appar
ently nothing, will lie seen, the former
resembling descending smoke, quite
black at fiie spout of the vessel, but
brightly illuminatiMl whenever the sun
light isconcentrated by passing through
the gas.
To Prevent Glue from Cracking.—
Glue frequently cracks berauae of the
dryness of the air in room* warmed by
stoves. An Austrian contemporary
recommends the addition of a little
chloride of calcium to glue to prevent
this disagrM-ahle property of cracking.
Chloride of calcium is such a deliques
cent salt that it attracts enough mois
ture to prevent the glue from cracking, j
Glue thus prepared will adhere to glass,
metal, etc., and can be used for putting
on !al**ls without danger of their drop
ping ofl.

A FrKMft'lE POLISH. —Put half an
ounce of ahellac, th* NUM quantity of
gum-lac, and a quarter of an noma* of
guin-satidarac into a pint of spirit* of
wine, all in a atom 1 bottle, near the fire,
shaking It very often. As soon as the
gums are dissolved it is ready for use.
Then take a roller of woolen rag* — soft
old broadeloth w ill do nleely—put a
little of the polish on it, also a few
drops of litis* ed-oil. Hub the surface
to be jtoli-hed with this, going round
ami round, over a small space at a tiiue,
until it begins to be quite smooth. Then
finish by a second rubbing with spirits
ofcw Ine and more of the polish. Furni

luster, equnl to new.
Ftsit CARES. —f>ne pint how] of salt
codfish picked very fine, two pint Iwwls

night, will make In every respect a more
desirable lining than the fire brick
bought in the stores.
HOT-WATER OINOKRHKEAP.—A cupful

two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a
