About the Cats, It's a powerful shame to make fun of Victor Hugo, but this is the way it is done sometimes : FICTOIt Nooo.—London Punch is pub lishing a burlesque on Victor llugo's last story, in which the following amusing imi tation of his epigrammie style is given. The hero is supposed to be in the streets of London at night : " Antoneroly muttered to himself 'Heigh° !' and passed along the deserted streets. "He seemed to be treading on the silent tombs of the nameless and the forgotten. "llc heard the march of cats through the darkness. "They rushed to an attack with loud cries, springing up suddenly from every .quarter—areas, roofs, balconies, lamp posts, gutters, lutes, pasages, courts, alleys and thoroughfares. "They flew up the trees in the squares, and scurried madly round the crescent.. "All their habits were nocturnal. "The feline rule always is to appear un expectedly. "How many tragic sights have been witnessed by the statutes of the metropo lis ! "At Antoneroly's footstep the cats fled, filling mews after mews w:th their un earthly crier. "Quiet neighborhoods, back streets. These words sum up the whole of the Fe line War. "They live in purr-lieus. "It is a quarrel of localities; of Emily against family ; tabby against tortoise shell; pussy-cat against pussy-cat. "All our attempts, our movements in legislation and in education, our ency clopedias, our pbilosphers, our genius, our glories, all before the Cats. "Could its youth be trained ? "The Cat's cradle has ever been a puz zle. "They love blind-alleys. Strage blind ness ! "A collossal scuffle, a jangling of Tit tums, an immeasurable rebellion, without strategy, without plan, chivalric and sav age, appearing like fantastic black shadows, tails of the past, the devastation of glass, the destruction of flowerpots in back yards, the ruin of squares, the terror of invalids—such is the sleepless warfare, the unreasoning effort of the Puss-cat. "Antoneroly passed on among the van ishing shadows." An Indiana Romance. She could'nt see it in that light. She didn't want to marry him, but he was bound she should. They both lived a couple of miles from the city and were neighbors. She refused to listen to his courting, and he grew desperate. So he went off to the West, and while out there persuaded a friend to write a letter, saying that be was dead, and asking as his dying request, that she might, if she ever went out that way, stop for a moment and toss a weed or perhaps a flower on his lonely grave. This was tender, but it didn't take worth a cent, and she wrote back a letter to the friend saying that if he had any consideration for her feelings at all to send her the dead lover's watch and chain, his money and all his valuables. To carry out his plans the dead man sent home his brass jewelry and other effects, and she immediately proceeded to don the trinkets and start to singing -school with the chosen "feller" of her heart. On their way back home the pair were startled by the appari tion of the lost lover, clad in ghostly white, but with the old lineaments intact. The young man fled, but the girl stood still, and, putting up a paw which resem bled an elephant's foot, naively inquired if the ghost wanted to be kicked to death by a mule. To which his ghostship re plied thus : "Lord ! Lord ! Jerusha, hey I come all the way home to find you false ?" "You bet," replied the fair one, laughing heartily, for she had discovered that it was really the person of her dead lover. The fellow had played a nice game, and had followed his goods and chattels back to the land of his nativity very quick ly. The damsel was so disgusted with the other fellow for running at sight of the ghost that she immediately began prepara tions to marry the ghost. The Tongue. Nothing but the proboscis of an elephant compares in muscular flexibility with the tongue. It varies in length and size in reptiles, birds and mammalia, according to the peculiar organic circumstances of each. A giraffe's tongue has the functions of a finger. It is hooked over a high branch, its strength being equal to breaking off large, strong branches of trees, from which tender leaves are then stripped. An ant bear's tongue is long and round, like a whiplash. The animal tears open dry clay walls of ant hills, thrusts in its tongue, which sweeps around the apartments, and by its adhesive saliva brings out a yard of ants at a swoop. The mechanism by which it is produced so far is both complicated and beautiful. A dog's tongue in lapping water takes a form by mere act of volition that cannot he imitated by an ingenious mechanician. The human tongue in thQ articulation of language surpasses in va riety of motions the wildest imagination of a poet.. Even in swallowing food its office is so extraordinary that physiologists cannot explain the phenomena of degluti tion without employing the aid of several sciences. How SPRINGFIELD 60T HIS CARDS. —This story of a package of postal cards may seem to read like a romance, but the Springffeld (Mass.,) Union asserts that it is literally true : "Mr. Springfield is the postmaster at Tyner, Tenn., and Mr. Ty ner is the agent of the post office depart ment at the postal card factory in Spring field, Mass. Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, needing some postal-cards, ordered them from the post-office department. The order from Mr. Springfield, of Tyuer, was for warded to Mr. Tyner, of Springfield, and Mr. Tyner, of Springfield, sent • the cards to Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, but Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, not getting the cards from Mr. Tyner, of Springfield, Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, wrote to Mr. Tyner. of Springfield, making inquiry regarding the cards ordered to be sent by Mr. Tyner, of Springfield,:to Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, and this letter from Mr. Springfield, of Ty ner, to Mr. Tyner, of Springfield, inqui ring about the cards ordered to be sent to Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, by Mr. Tyner, of Springfield, Mr. Tyner, of Springfield, now keeps to show to his friends when telling the story of the postal cards order ed by Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, and sent to Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, by Mr. Ty ner, of Springfield, and finally received by Mr. Springfield, of Tyner. HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1875. The Human Heart. From a recent review of Dr. Houghton'e experiments regarding the muscular force exerted by the human heart, the following facts were taken : The heart is composed of innumerable inuseular fibres, arranged two balls of twine, each with a cavity in its centre, anal both completely enveloped in a third ball. These fibres arc, however, not, con tinuous, as in the case of twine wound on a ball, but work independently. By cal culation the force exerted by those fibres, when either contracted or extended, and expressing the result in "thot-tons"—that is, the three required to lift a ton to the height of one foot—it appears that the daily work of the left ventricle alone, which lifts, at each stroke, three ounces of blood through a heighth of 9,923 feet, is equal to about 80,706 foot-tons. Estimating the relative power of the right ventricle to that of the left, in the proportion of five b thirteen, the total daily work of both is equal to about 124,- 203 foot-tons. Although the average weight of the heart is about 9 36 ounces, the work done by it in a given time ex ceeds that accomplished by all other mus cles exercised in a boat race during the same period. Helmholtz, the German physician, proved that the heart could raise its own weight 20.280 feet in an hour, while the best locomotive engine could only raise its own weight, 2,700 feetin the same time. An active climber, with the full exercise of all needed muscles, could only accomplish 9,000 feet in nine hours, or one-twentieth the work done by the heart. ` l l - itier Dan." Heroes are not scarce in these modern days, says the Houston (Texas) Telegraph, that is, nice who were heroes but a few years back; but for all that a hero whose deeds are recent is still an object of atten tion and respect. NVe have one in our city who will go to Galveston to-day, en route for his friends. "Tiger Dan" is here. , Do you know who "Tiger Dan" is? We'll tell you. He is a young man twen ty-nine years of age; was a soldier in the Confederate army, serving in Virginia.— Was for two years a Government scout and Indian guide, and bAng captured by the Cheyenne Indians, qrs kept a prison er two years before he escaped from them. Seven months or more ago, he started across the plains as guide for a small emi grant train going to the Pacific coast, or thereaways, and was captured in a fight with the Apache Indians up in Arizona. The emigrants were killed and he received four wounds, from which he has not yet recovered, being in almost a helpless con dition. Wounded and prostrate as he was, he escaped from his Indian captors and made his way through the wilderness of' prairie on our frontiers, able only to drag himself along alone, without the means of protection or sustenance, starving and suffering with his wounds, until he reach ed the settlements, and found friends who believed him dead and mourned his loss. He is an Irishman by birth and his name is Daniel Lynam. There is no discount on his pluck, and the soul within him is as big as a continent. His parents live in Liverpool, but he has relatives in New Jersey to whom he is going. A Blush What is there more mysterious than a blush, that asingle word or look or thought should tend that inimitable carnation over the cheek like the salt tints of the summer sunset? Strange it is, also, that the face is capable of blushin , Y, that the hand or foot does not turn red with modesty or shame any more than the glove or sock that covers them. It is the face that is in heaven. The blush of modesty that illumined wo man's face when she awoke in Eden's sun ny land still lingers with her fair daugh ters. They caught it from the rose, for all roses were first white ; but when Eve plucked one, the bud seeing her own fair face—more fair than the flowers—blushed and cast its retied ion on her velvet cheeks. The nee is the tablet of the soul where in it writes its actions. There may be traced all the intellectual phenomena with a confidence amounting to a moral certain ty. If innocence and purity luok outward from within none the less do v,ice, intem perance, and debauchery make their in delible impressions upon it. Idiocy, rage, cowardice and passion leave deeper marks even than the virtues of modesty, truth, chastity and hope. Even beauty grows more beautiful from the pure thoughts that arise within it. The Wisdom of the Egyptians Philologists, astronomers, chemists, painters, architects and physicians, must return to Egypt to learn the origin of writing—a knowledge of the calender and solar motion—of the art of cutting granite with a copper chisel, and of giving elasti city to a copper sword—of making glass of the varied hues of the rainbow—of moving single blocks of polished sienite nine hun dred tons in weight for any distance by land or water—of' building arches round and pointed, with masonic precision un surpassed at the present day, and antece dent by two thousand years to the Cloaca Magna of Rome—of sculpturing a Doric column one thousand years before the for ians are kncwn in history—of fresco paint ing in imperishable colcrs—and of practi cal knowledge in masonry. And it is no less clear that every craftsman can behold on Egyptian monuments the progress of his art for a thousand yeats ago, whether it is a wheel-right building his chariot, a shoemaker drawing his twine, a leather cutter using the self same form of knife which is considered the best form now, or a weaver throwing the saute hand shuttle. Business is Business. I will never forget the surprise and pain I felt once when urginc , a prominent member of a very respectable church to throw his influence in with the temperance cause, to hear him say : "I cannot do it. Business is businees. In order to (7.0 bus iness I often find it necessary to treat others." An official member of a church,. a superintendent of a Sabbath School, yet with such practice and sentiments. lam glad to believe that such is an exception. Alas for teligion and piety, if we had in our churches many such as that. A man will do what conscience and the Bible tells him is wrong, for the slke of a little gain. God has pronounced a woe against the man who gives his neighbor drink. We cannot be guiltless, and do that which God condemns. Oh that our churches would arise in their might, and shaking them selves from the dust of selfishness and sin, declare that alcohol shall be dethroned. A Bible Canvasser's Talk with a Fid dler. A Bible canvasser called into a house on Macomb street yesterday to see it he couldn't sell a book. A small lame girl opened the door in answer to his knock, and just as he entered, a man sitting on the edge of a forlorn looking bed raised a fiddle to his shoulder, and commenced scraping out a tune. "Have you a Bible in the house ?" asked the canvasser as he crossed the room. "Nary Bible," answered the man ; "and— Old Dan Tucker Drenmpt a Dream!" `Or a hwyn•book ?" continued the can vasser. "No, nary ; and— If .you love me, Mollie darling, Let your answer be a kiss." "I ani agent for the sale of this Bible," said the canvasser, taking the volume. out of his satchel. "Couldn't buy one cover, and— Oh ilarkevs, how my heart grows weary, Sighing for the old folks at home." "I can sell you the book for a small amount down, and the balance in weekly payments. A great many—" "Bibles are all right, but I've got a slre foot, and— 'twas a calm, still nizlit. And the noon's pale light, "If you do not care to read the book yourself, you should not, refuse your child permission," remarked the canvasser. "And the old woman's up stairs, sick with fever, and— They took her off to Georgia To wear her life away." "But it seems hard to think that you arc permitting yourself and family to live in ignorance of religious—" "Bibles is all right, and I'►.l encouruge 'em if times wasn't so blasted— MO ha! ha! You and tr,e, Little laown jug don't I love thee." “I have a smaller edition like this.— You can have that by paying' , 5) cents down and 25 cents per week until paid up. ” "No use, stranger," replied the man ; "There hint nulling to do, money is tight, and— "I've wandered this wide world • A❑ over." "I wish you would cease that fiddling and singing, fir a moment, and let me talk to you," said the :rent. "Bibles is all right, you is ail right, and Oh! This world is sal and dre ar y, Everywhere I roam." "Won't you stop for just one moment ?" "I'd like to oblige, but now's my regu -I:►r time for fiddling and singing, and— ITp in a balloon. boys, tp in a balloon." "Then I can't sell you a Bible?" Don't- look as if you could, for— I've wandered through the village, Tom. I've sat beneath the tree." And the canvasser left the home in do spair.—Detroit Free Pres.s. ho Effects of a Sunbeam. If the curious things in science were communicated rather than the materialis tic, as presented by Prof. Tyndall and others, both prost and great pleasure would be the result. Take in its contrast the effects of a sunbeam, for example, and one sees the grand result of the most gen tle and powerful, and yet variable and ver satile forces. As painted by an „rtist pan, we sec that the most delicate slip of gold leaf exposed as a target to the sun's shafts. is not stirred to the extent of a hair, though an infant's faintest breath would set it in tremulous motion. The tenderest of hu. man organs—the apple of the cyc— though pierced and buffeted each day by thousands of sunbeams, suffers no pain during the process, but rejoices in their sweetness, a:d blesses the useful light. Vet a few of thof,e rays, insinuating themselves into a mass of iron, like the Britannia tubular bridge, will compel the closely knit. particulars to separate, and will move the whole enormous fabric with as much ease as a giant would a straw. The play of beinis upon our sheets of water lifts up layer :Sur layer into tha atny.sphere, and boi“s whole rivers from their beds. only to drop thew again in snows upon the hills, or in fattening showers upon the plants. Let but the air drink in a little more sunshine at one point than another, and it desolates a whole region in its luna tic wrath. The marvel is that a power which is capable of assuming such a di versity of firms, and of producing such stupendous results, should came to us in so gentle, so peaceful, and so unpretentious a manner. - Sold Again. There was much excitement not long sine.; on the train bound south from Char lottesville, Va. • In the palace cir was a gentleman who had stepped aboard at Charlottesville with a child muffed from head to foot in shawls. Before the train had gone far, the occupants of the other compartments heard a child's cry, then another. Then came the angry tones of a man's voice : "You are not Charlie ; you are Tommie ; and if you make any more noise I'll th.ow you out of the win dow." '•1 want togo to mamma ; I'm her own little Charlie," the child was heard to say. Then blows were heard, and screams, and a passenger said, "It is little Chariie Ross," and a rush was made The man was dragged from his compart• ment, and the ladies sprang forward and put their arms about the child. They re• moved the covering from his face and found that instead of Charlie Ross they had in their embrace the wooden automa ton with which the ventriloquist Wyman is want to amuse the public. The practi cal joker was Wyman himself A.

He had been an invalid for twelve years past. The new church of the United Bretbre:). at East Conemaugh, will be dedicated on Bunday, the 21st or March, 1875. Bishop Edwards will conduct the dedicatory serv• ices, assisted by a large number of distin guished ministers. How Eclipses Occur. I have said that the sun pursues a cer tain definite path among the stars, about half a degree wide, which you could see if he left any trace there; MI, also, if you could mark the position o' the moon to night among the stars, and mark its posi tion at every hour during her whole tours•, you would find that she also has pursued a definite path among the stars, but you would not find this path to he the same as the sun's path. If it were the same, we should have an eclipse of the moon every time that the moon passed on the ether side of the earth from the sun. But tha two panthl are inclined to each other about 5 degrees. They cross each other at a point which, in the month of Octo ber, 1874, is very near the sun. The moon's path is south of the sun's in nearly all that part of the heaven. which we can se in the evenings of that month; but it approaches the sun's path, and crosses it near the eastern horizon, and in most of the invisible\ half of the sphere, or that part below the horizon, the moon's path is farther north. All this will be clear on examining the star maps, where the dotted line shows the path of the moon during 1,74, crossing the sun's path in the eon stellations Aries and Libra. These two opposing points in which the moon's pat:l creases the path of the sun are calle.d the nodes. It is very clear that unless the sun is near one of the or:on's nodes when the moon herself passes by. the moon will pass above or below the sun. according as her path is above or below that of the sun at this point, and some quently there will be no eclipse. But if the sun happens to be near the node, then the moon will necessarily pass over ',Ai,t face and eclipse some portion of him. Now. as I have just explained, there are two op posite nodes ; the one set a few boor= ago, and the other has just risen. Since the sun makes the whole circuit of the heavens in the course of a year. he crosses the moon's nodes twice in that time. In 1874 he crossed one node in May, and will cross the other node in November; eonse quently it is only about these two times that any eclipse can take place during this year. If the nic,on always followed the same path in the heaven', we could never have any eclipse but at those two seasons. But ii .wewatch the motions of the moon for several years in succession, we shall find that her path is continually changing. At the present time she passes /wren degrees north of Aldebaran ; a month hence she will seem to pass the star at almost exactly the same distance ; but if yen continue your observations for four or five months, you will find that she passes it percepti bly farther north, and in three years you will see that she crosses it at the distance of about ten degrees. After that she would be gin to cross farther south, passing near Al debaran at every revolution for eight years, until in ISBS and 1886 she will pass right over it. If the moon's path were painted on the heavens, you would see that every time the men cime round to the rime point in her path, which takes place about every twenty-seven days, she would cross the sun's path about three of her own diameters sooner than the month before. In the course of a year, there. fore, she will have crossed about thirty- ' six diameters sooner, or farther to the west. In the course of twenty years you will find that this motion has been kept up until she crosses at the same point she dues now, and thus the nodes have made a complete circuit of the heavens. The seasons of eclipses vary, therefora, in the same manner. This year they are in May and October; in five years from now they will occurr three months earlier, and we shall have 0 - . em in February and August; five years more, and they will be in Octo ber and May; five years more. is Augamt and February ; five years more, and they will correspond once more to what they are now.—ffurper's Magazixe.
