• MER."
T r" is a late acqui
sition t. ge. NeitherWeb
sterinor W. cester, in their respective
lexicons, have noticed the term. Nev
ertheless, it, is one of much significance
and is comprehensive in its meaning.
It is used by those who are adapts in
slang terms to denote a wretched, for
saken, dissipated man. Whenever a
man ms become lost to a sense of
shame, destitute of the means of liv
ing, is an object of derision to the
thoughtless, and of pity to the com
passionate, he is styled a "Bummer."
While the "Bummer" may occasion-•
ally be found in the Country . village,
he is peculiarly indigenous to the
city, where be and his confreres abound
in great variety and perfection. His
haunts are the lowest and vilest local
ities, whore his bestial appetites are
gratified to •exCess, and where the
lowest - d - eptbs 'Of degredatiOn are re
called in the easiest possible manner.
Handrede infest this city, and :can be
daily seen -Creeping along the streets,
pleading for alma in the most impor•
tunate manne - r,, or stealthily on the
lookotttlor servo article which they
may steal Without the' probability of
arrest. The Bummer thrives best
near a Market house, and there are
several localities near the Centre mar
ket where numbers of them rendez
voila. No deSoription can adequately
convey a correct idea of the Bummer.
It is necessary to visit his haunt, to
fully 'appreciate him. Mrs. C. keeps
a groggery in

MURDER WILL OUT-A DEATH

In the spring of 1837, a woman of
some property named Hannah Brown,
residing in London,• was found mur

adopted'every precaution to avoid de
tection ; but the police collected e
nough circumstantial evidence to form.
a clue, and arrested a man named
James Greenacre and . a woman nam
ed Sarah Gale, who had, at one time,
been in the employ of deceased, and
Were found in possession of some of
her property. When the trial of the
accused commenced, it appeared as
though there would not be sufficient
evidence to- secure a conviction ; but,
influenced by mortal fear; the woman,
Sarah Gale, suddenly volunteered to
turn king's evidence, and her story
conclusively established the guilt of
Greenaere. The miserable man was
hung. on the 2d of May—the woman's
treachery saving her from alike.fate.
The Londoners, however,' beliey,ed her
to be the more guilty of the two, and
so furious was the popular rage a
gainst her, that she found it conveni
ent to disappear suddenly from the,
city, and was believed to have com
mitted suicide.- At the time *Of the
trial the weapons with which the
murder was committed emild not be
found; and it was only about three
weeks ago that they were discovered.
In laying a railroad from Dalwitch to
the Elephant and Castle, last math,
the workmen had occasiofn to empty
the cesspool of the house, occupied
in. 1837 by Greenacre, and at the bot
tom they found a butcher's knife and
a two foot crowbar—evidently the in
struments of the murderous crime.—
A still greater revelation, however,.
was left for the lapse of a quarter of
a,century to make. One of the phy
sicians deputed by the court to exam
ine the body of Mrs. Brown, subse
quently emigrated to Sydney, i n ls.Tew
South Wales, where he established a
good practicepand, in course of years,
became a prominent doctor. In a pa
per called Empire, published at Syd
ney, and brought to us by the last
English steamer, we find a letter
from him, wherein he gives the se
quel of the Greenacre murder. Some
months ago he was summoned to at
tend a woman who had received se•
rious injuries by a fall from a wagon.
The messenger stated that the lady
was very rich, and would richly re
ward him Sf he made haste. The
physician needed no further incentive,
hut hastily prepared hinieelf for a
journey to Big River. Six hours
hard riding across arid plains brought
him to a well built house near the riv
er, and, after running tho gauntlet of
half a dozen kangaroo dogs, he found
himself in the presence of the patient
and her. husband. The former was a
good-looking, middle aged woman,
and appeared to be near berend, her
injuries being of a fatal character.—
On seeing the doctor,
.she requested
her husband to leave the room for a
few moments, and then assuming an
expression of mingled fear and hor
ror, besmight the physician -never •to
reveal what she was about to tell him.
Unsuspicious of v4hat was to come,
he gave the promise,.and the dying
woman confessed herself a murder
ess 1 More than twenty years- ago,
she said, she murdered a lady in Lon
don, and was induced by fear to give
such evidence against her lover that
he was hung at the Old Bailey for
the crime. After the,Axecution she
left the metropolis, and:went to live
as a servant in the countay„ where

She then called for her hnshpnd to

to the horrified physician, she asked :

Coins oftlie New Testament
'And when be had agreed with the laborers for
a penny a day, he Bent them into his vineyard.;
-MATT. xx, 24.
A penny a day seems a small com
pensation for a laborer: but the coin
in question was not the penny of the
present day, but was a denarious,
silver coin, the intrinsic value of which
was fifteen cents.. This gives one a
better idea of the value of labor at
that time. And it shows that the
good Samaritan was more liberal and
generous than the usual reading of the
text would indicate. Luke x. He
gave the poor man tha,t, fell among
thieves two silver coins of the value
of thirty emits. We have reason to
believe that silver was at that period
ten times as valuable as it is at pres
ent; in other words, thirty cents wo'd
buy as much as three dollars •would
now. It Op appears that the Se,
maritan, besides the other valuable
things, wine and - oil, which he bestow
ed upon the injured* man, gave the
'host' money enough to pay the board
ing 'of his guest for some time, per
haps of several weeks, because this
interesting event happened in the hill
country of Judea, between Jerusalem
and Jericho, where the charges at the
inn were probably quite moderate--
Thus a liberal provision was made for
the intervening time which would e
lapse before the benevolent man wo'd
return from Jerusalem. And in case
he should be delayed in his return,
he said to the inn keeper, 'Take care
of this man, when I come again I will
repay thee.' This generous and neigh
borly conduct of the good Samaritan
our Lord commends, with the injunc
tion, ‘Go thou and do likewise.'—v. 37.
• The ointment with which Mary a
nointed our Saviour, is 'said to have
been 'very costly,' John xll. 3, and
'very precious,' Mark xiv. 3. Some
had indignation within themselves,
and .'murmured against her,' because
her ointment might have been sold for
more than three hundred pence, and the
money given to the poor—Mark xiv.
4, 5. - The propriety of saying that it
was very costly and very preciousrap
pears very clearly' when we ascertain
that the price at . which it was
said it might have been sold was equal
to forty-five dollars of our own mon
ey. Mary's offering was therefore a
valuable one intrinsically; but much
more so as she wrought a 'good work,
which is spoken of throughout the
whole world as a memorial' of her love
and devotion to the Saviour.—v. 9.
Again, when the five thousand per-
sons were miraculously fed, we are
told that the disciples asked, 'shall we
go and buy two hundred penny worth
of bread, and give them to eat?'—
Mark vi. 37. The present value of a
penny is about two cents. It would
seem to be very unreasonable to talk
of feeding such a multitude with four
hundred cents of bread. But when
we know that two hundred pence
were' equalto thirty dollars of our
money, we can readily understand
how, with. that sum, bread enough
might have. been purchased not only
to enable 'every one of them to take
a little'--John vi. 7; bet if the propor
tionate vale° is considered, the mon
ey would have bought a loaf of bread
for each one of the great multitude
that were assembled. The great Mas
ter of the feast, however, preferred to
feed them by his creative power, and
thus the five barley loves and the two
small fishes were. miraculously in
creased; "and Alley did all eat and
.were filled, and they took up twelve
baskets of. the fragments.'—Mark vi.
42, 43.
It is difficult to deterinite with ac
curacy the relative value of money In
different periods of the, world. The
_pieces. of the same denomination, coin
ed at different times, greatly varied
in *eight and in fineness, or in the
proportion of pure silver to the alloy
of base nietal used in the coinage.—
The denarius of Tiberius weighed a
bent sixty grains, and contained a
bout 60 per cent. of silver, and ten
per cent. of alloy, and was worth, as
we have seen, about fifteen cents ; but
as the Roman Empire declined dena.
rius was deminished in 'weight and
-fineness, until at length it fell to a
bout the value Of six cents,. It was
perhaps on the model of thisreduced
denarius that the English penny was
established. The pound sterling, as
originally constituted ifi‘Eriglaud, and
up to about A.D. 1800, was compos
ed of a troy weight of.. Silver. As

Astronomical Discovery.
A very remarkable discovery has
been made by eminent astronomers
during the past year. ThisdiScovery
establishes the new and startling fea
ture of the solar system, that there is
at least. one ring of meteoric forma
tions, surrounding the sun, which has
a regular• revolution. The recurrence
of the meteoric display in August of
each year, is explained by the fact
that the earth passes, at that
through the ring, and the contact of
its formations with our atmosphere
renders them visible in combustion.
Professor Newton presents the fact
that the inclination of the ring to the
ecliptic has been measured, and So far
fixed as to render it certain that the
meteors of other known annual oc
currence, cannot belong to the same
ring. Whether other rings exist, or
not, remains to be shown, but this for
the present may be regarded as as
certained, that a meteoric ring; with
an inclination of 84 to 96 degrees to
the ecliptic, and with a periodic time
0f.281 days, actually forms an impor
tant part of the solar system, andthe
world passes through this ring annu
ally in August, and is several days in
passing from side to side, so that its
thickness is five
.to ten millions of
miles.
Nearly every one knows that me
teors or shooting . stars, as they ate
often called, are annually visible in
great quantities during the month of
August on certain nights. On any
one of those nights, two or three per••
sons, watching the sky, may count
from one to two hundred of them in
an hour or two. It may nowipifit
ken as an ascertained fact i,p4t, 4 . 7 p-
omy, that these meteors, Whin,h;Onti.
&Ist of various minerals, are few ;
out of many millions of millions,
whiell'are located in a great ring
that surrounds the sun, and is as reg
ular in its revolution as the earth, or
any planet. Prof. Newton, taking
one morning's observation—makes
rough calculation that there are more
than 300,000,000,000,000 of these bod
ies in the ring.
Thus it would seem that the track
of a former orb of the solar system,
years ago, rent by some terrific con
vulsion to fragments, bas been' discov
ered—its very orbit having been
changed so that our planet passes
through it. And thus a vision 113 giv
