of Partridge, the celebrated r alinknac maker.
In traveling on horseback into the country he stop

tor Ins horse that he might reach the next town, '
here he intended to sleep. "'lf you would take
my advice, sir," said the ostler, as he AS about to
mount his horse, " you will stay where you are for
he night, as you will surely be overtaken by a
pelting min." " Nonsense, nonsense," said the al
manac maker, " there is a sixpence for you, my
honest fellow, and a good afternoon to you." He
proceeded on his journey, and sure enough be was
%%sell drenched in a heavy iirower. Partridge was
muck with the man's prediction, and being always
'lntent on, the interest of his almanac, he rode back
tinlhe instant, arid was received by the ostler with
a broad grin. "Well, sir, you see I was tight after
" Yes, ray lad, you have been so, and here
ti a crown for yon, but I give' ifyou on condition
that you tell me bow you knew of this rain." "To
be sure sire' replied the Ilan; "why the truth is
we have an almanac in our home called " Pad.
mige's Almanac," and the fellow is such a notori
ous liar, that whenever he promises us a £m° day
w e always know that it will be the direct contrary:
Now, your honor, this diy, the 21st of June, is Ott
down in our almanac in-doors as' Settled fine
weather, no rain." I looked at that before I bro't
your honor's - ho'ise out, and so was enabled to'put

Well-founded apprehensions itsist, tbat-Europ!an
countries are about to be re visit6d with the plague
0f.1832. Already, the choler* has made fearful
progress among the Russian people, add in i,ts course.
toward fontinental Europe, it is said to be working
its dreadful ravages. .In the former visitation of the'
pestilence, science, which in many ills, supplies an
effective antidote, stood appalled. The experience
however, r of 1832 ? has enabled medical inquirers
to determine the nature and causes of the disease,
and wig/etch forth their helping hands to save from
death. Whatever may be. the conduct of the legis
lature, or of local powers, with reference to the 'an
ticipated scourge, it becomes the people to look to
their. own preservation, and; at once to conquer
whatever habits or circumstances may_be likely to ,
invite the pestilence into their abodes. The laws
of health should be regarded with scrapulous care
—the lighting, ventilation, and cl• arming of homes
—purifying linen by repeated changes ; cleanliness
and exercise of the body; the temperate use Of pro.
per food—these are matters of the utmost moment,
which !should never be disregarded, bnt which now
become doubly important.
Mr. Wm. Herapath, of Bristol, a very high authority
in matters of chemistry, has published is the runes
a 'Etter, the essence of which we deem it our duty
to give. He says--- •
" In 1832, as tcheniist,. I laid myself out for a
close examination into the cause, mode of propaga
tion, and check for the cholera. For this purpose
.1 obtained information .of, and visited in person, all
the earliest cases which showed themselves in this
city generally, and in each great public establish-
ment in particular. For some time I attended al
most daily at the cholera hospitals, and experiment- •
ed in,every way, I could think of, upon the dead
and living subjects, their contents and ejfita, the at
mosphere surmunding them and their articles of
clothing. The conclusions I arrived at, I forward
for the information of those who have not the same
opportunities. •
1 ‘ that the cause of cholera is a putrid animal
poison, capable of being recognised by the smell
by some, emanating from and surrounding the dead
or living cholera subject or articles of clothing.
,4 That it is only received into the living body
through the lungs, and cannot be propagated by in
noculation.
"That infection can be conveyed by articles of
clothing, bedding, &c.; and that washerwomen are
more subject to, infection than ordinary peasons from
that cause.
That all persons are equally liable to infection
from equal exposure, and even the same individu
al becomes more sensitive under certain circmh-
stances.
That the poison is destroyed by chiorime gas,
and - a heat of 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
" The two most popular disonfectants of the day
—the chloride of zinc and thp nitrate of lead, known
as Sir W. Bumet's and Letloyen's—uill be of no
avail, although therwill promptly remove ordinary
putrid effluvia. The only chemical prerentitive I
depended upon in my numerous exposures to the
virus was chlorine gal, and this I believe to be a
perfect - one, Af the fumigation is complete. I inva
riably passea through an atnaosphere'bf it on my
return heme, and kept it escaping in my iesidence
during the continuance of the disease in the city.
Ulso placed large 'quantities of ibe substance ne
cessary for the evolution of this gas in the hands
of a Bristol druggist, who was , kind enough to dis
tribute 1,200 quantities of it gratuitously to applicants
during three days, with instructions for the use, and
I am happy to say that during that time the deaths
fell from ten to one per day; and I have but little
doubt that if every ship arriving in England from
an infected place should be exposed to a perfect
fumigation with chlorine, we shall be preserved
from the infecton. If the disease should pass this
cordon, by arty-accident, then every house in the
infected district should be simultaneously fumigated
with it—say'three times a day ; unless done in all
houles at the same time, it would be useless or
nearly so ; end to do it ellectiudly, a mixture of
three parts common salt, and one ("black oxide of man
ganese, should he placed just inside the outer or street
door, of the duelling house, and a /ink common eitri-.
01, poured upon it. The inward current of air will
convey the chlorine gas to every ?art of the interi
or, arid wherever it can be smelt the effect is pro
' duced—the miasma is destroyed. If ,articles of
clothing are infected, and the colors likely to be in
jured by the gas, they may be heated irif an oven
of on a kiln, to 250 . 0 t 34400 degrees (about the beat
of baking bread), when they might be handled 0?
used with perfect impuntty."
The public are greatly indebted to Mr. Horvath
for these timely instructions, which are undoubted•
ly founded. pon good basis. It would be well if
persons in suitable circumstances were to procure
quantities of the black oxide of manganese and.
common vitriol, tuul retail them among the public
at prime cost. The manganese and vitriol might
thus be rendered each at about Wee haV-pence per
road, and a cheap and certain preventive of con•
tagiou would be supplied. And at intervats the
disenfccting fluid might be employed with much

ST PROTESSOIL MITCHELL
Prof. Mitchell commenced by considered wheth
er the law of motion in our system is the only one
there could have been. He said helelieredin the
beginning God created the heavens, and the earth,
and that he selected the laws by which he would
govern the impose, and selected them unchangea
bly; but the question is asked, said he, whether it
could have been differebt in view 9f the grand ob
ject& in the mind of the creator. This depends on
what were those graiul objects. The first grand
, design was to constitute the system with regard to
perpetuity, so that it should not have the elements
of decay in itself. Could this have, been attained
in any other wq Yes, in a much simpler way, the
same stability could have been attained. If we bad
had planets not affected by all others, but tui it is
they are full of perturbations. There was a higher
objeciio' be attained than mere stability--a Jason
of instruction was to be given to lead us forward
and upward to him who is wisdom and power.--
Hence it is the means of inciting the intellect to its
highest possible attainments.
A brief synopsis was then given of the close of
the last lecture. Newton bad found in calculating
the orbits of the planets, that the equation of the
curve in wh ch they moved, was a general one em
bracing the circle, the . elipse, the parabola, the hy
perbola. He looks and finds an object coming in
from the outskirts of our system and sweeping
through space describing a parabola; all under the
line of gravitation, as well as those moving in clip
ses because the equation applies to all:
Is it true then that every particle of matter attracts
any other particle He applies this law on the
supposition that it does, as if the earth ws -- isphere.
Calculation tills that it must be another figure; and
Newton told what must be the figure of the earth
before it was known by examination and experi
ment. The equatorial diameter was 26 miles long
er than the polar. Prof. Mitchell then explained
how this was occasioned by the centrifugal motion
of the earth stipposing it to have been originally
plastic, which would have produced the present
form an oblate spheroid. The attraciin of a globe
would be the same as if all the motion wbre at the
centre, but the fact of a spluroidal from renders all
these movements complicated.
It was then shown how the protuberant form of
the globe on the equator accounts for the gradual
but imperceptible motion of the north star; that the
attraction on this protuberance had the effect of
drawing the globe down, so that the ecliptic would
more nearly coincide with the equator. The pre
cession of the equinoies was then explained as de
pending on this minatory movement of the north
pole, completing its revolution in a period of 25,600
years. The Egyptians haeptarked the equinox by
the heliacal (with the sun) rising of a certain star,
at which time the Nile overflowed its banks; alter
ages had passed, this rising did not accompany the
equinoxes and the floods of the Nile ; it was occa
sioned by the precession of the equinoxes, or of
that point in the hear ns where the ecliptic or son's
path crosses the eqn rof the earth ; without the
spheroidal form of the a rt h this had not taken place.
[The effect of the su and moon in producing this
was then explained i detail ; as it is all found in 1
the books, we omit i here ]
The earth is not solid, but partly fluid. May not
the ocean leave its bounds, and submerge the globe .
and its inhabitants! No; here are exhibitions of
stability, which were explained in connection with
the received theory of the tides. .
The water on , the side next 'the moon was ea.
third nearer the moon than that on the opposite side,
hence more strongly attracted than the earth, caus
ing high tide on the sides next the moon, the earth
being drawn away from the water on the opposite
side causes, high water on the most distant side at
the same time. The calculations concerning the
tides was considered among the most difficult pro
positions of mathematics.
Prof Mitchell, then proceeded to the changes ef
fected on the moon by the earths attraction, the rap
id revolution of the line of - Apogee and Perigee of
the moon (the line which unites the points of the
moon's orbit nearest the earth with that most dist
ant) absorbed all the powers of Newton, and even
he died without solving the question. It was left I
to a distinguished French /uitronemer and Mathe
matician (—) who arrived at the same point
where Newton was, and then derived the law of
gravity : but a man stepped up to dektid the law
of gravity, and the Astronomer discovered aherror
on re examining his work Which then demonstrat
ed the problem and then confirmed the theory of
gravity.
The moon, dming . 26oo years, had advanced in
its orbit four times its diameter j some have denied
the ancient date on which this fact rested, others
thought there mpg be a resisting medium, others
again that the moon was winding opwarcls through
a spiral circle,., which should finally destroy the
planet. But La Plate comes in and proves that the
longer axis of the moon changes not, that through
almost infinite periods oftime the orbit of the moon's
changes varies from an ellipse to a circle, and back
again,; oan ellipse. Professor Mitchell said he had
hardly entered upon what be •intended to show—
that only one side of the moon was Posit:lied to
our earth, that the moon literally weighs the sun,
telling bow many times it exceeds the weight of
the eartk; fink the bust of the earth is not less than
1000 miles in thiclmess. He then detained the au
dience a few moments to explain the calculation of
the height of the mountains in the moon, and the
depth of its valleys, by the shadow of the former.
The next lecture is on Friday, when the subject
will be the greater planets, the asteroids and Nep
tut, accompanied by some teleacopia representa
tions.

Dona lemietta : ♦ Tale of
ST PROF/MU 3. IL incinuinAx
[ooscumne
That evening the humble guest recited before the
maiden a tale of love and chivalry, the hero and
heroine of which were a cavalier and a lady of Se
ville. The Duke was a listener, and so heavily
approved of the story, that he gave the youth a gol
den sequin, and ordered him a cup of the best
wine, and then bade him think of other romances
for the entertainment of himself and his daughter,
for the youth was of such humble exterior and low
degree that Don Diego thought nomore of danger
to his daughter's heart front him than from his
daughter's page, or his own serving man, who
were in and out of her presence, But love knows
neither degree nor estate of rank. Nay, he de
lights in showing his power over such distinctions
and to manifest his power over the heart. As Dona
Inezetta listened to the rich ( voice and gentle words
of the reciter, and Sharked the depth of expression
in his fine eyes, which seemed afraid of her glance,
as they ever drooped modestly before it while his
cheek reddened, a sentiment ot tender interest per
vaded her soul. She listened with eager attention,
and when he discoursed of the loire the knight had
for the maiden, and how she-loved him in return,
and told of the deeds he achieved in her behalf,
her cheek glowed and her heart throbbed violently.
Insensibly the young troubadour, through the medi
um of his romaunt, stole into her heart, though she
knew it not.
"Come, sir troubadour," said the Duke, " we
will now hear you sing. Dona Inezetta, let him
have the guitar I"
" What shall I sing!" asked the youth, fizinghis
deeply impassioned, yet well covered gaze upon
the face of the maiden.
" Sing what thou wilt, sir stranger," answered
the maiden, casting down her eyes; "for I know
thou canst sin 7 nothin , * that will not be well worth
the listeningl"
" Thanks noble lady for this praiso ! I will sing
thee a French ballad I learned in Gascony."
" My , father knows no French. Sing a Spanish
one."
"Nay, daughter, let him on with his French, as
thou understaudest it. I have heard French ballads
before, and thought I got not much wit otit of the
-words, there was a right pleasant jingling (if music.
I liked it much. Let him sing his French ballad,
and after that you can translate it to me."
The troubadour then taking up the polar, began
a song Which he called . "The Knight of France
and the Maiden of Castile." It recounted how a
yourig knight having heard of the beauty of a mai?
den whom no one was permitted to s, disguised
himself as a forester or hunter, and pl*ni himself
in her way, when at times she went forth to hunt
with her, father, joined the party, and so aided in
swing the maiden from the attack of a band of
robbers who would have carried 'her oft But the
disguised knight sleW the chief, and 'ibore her un
harmed to the cast! There he was graciously en
tertained with the re ainers for many days, and his
degree not being he had oppotttmities
for winning her heart, which was his objecttespe.
cially as he found her beauty, great as it was, sup
by the charms of her mind. At length he
won her heart, and by and by he took his leave of
her saying he would soon see her again. The mai
den wept at his departure and kept the secret of
his lore from her father, who she knew would cot
rest if he discovered it, until he had slain her lover.
At length there a tournament given and the baron
and is diseghtar were prow:rut, by the commander
the emperor. One , knight in green armer, with his
visor down, carried oft the palm in every achiev4
meat of the day. At length, the emperor told him
that such valor as be had shown, was ill rewarded
by crowns and wreaths and gold rings, and he
would therefore, bestow upon him the hand of the
fairest maiden in the land =de* the daughters of
the throne. The knight then riding around the lists
alighted from his horse, and kneeling before the
maiden whose heart he had woo, and who loved
him, said in a low voice,
" Here, then, oh emperor, do 1 take my reward !"
The maiden trembled, for she bad no heart for any
one but her young forester. Her surprise, there,
fore, was only equalled by her joy, when the knight,
lifting his visor, displayed the face that was en
shrined upon her heart.
Such was the subject of the ballad which the
young troubadour sang with muchezpression, feel
ing, and romantic sentiment. His.-voice was me
lody itself, as its cadences were enriched by the
thrilling emotions of love for • Dona Inezetta, she
could not but listen with the most lively feelings.
"Itis a are tune, daughter, a right many and
sad tune," said the Duke. "'New for the Spanish
of it."
will tell thee some other day, father! It is
late !"
Marry so it is ! Come, sir troubadour, hie thee
to thy bed ! Sleep sound and breakfast roundly ;
for by the rood, I Would have of thee another bal
lad
and a rouumnt or two ere thou depart !"
Three weeks the young stranger lingered in the
castle, entertaining them every, evening with his
tales and ballads, and making himself by day so
*useful to the Duke by his various talents, that the
laner could not well let him go.. Them was noltt•
ing about horses and hounds, or hawking, fishing,
or . knightly feats of arms, that the young troubadour
was not skillerfin. The Duke swore seven times
a day, he had never met such a clever rogue as that
story-telling ballad singer. He oared him the
place of his chief fslooner, but Ilk young man
gratefully refused it,. sajing that his time wastinsit
ed and that hesmustbe on his way ; yet he linger
ed day by day, so long that it was nearly a month
ere be took his leave; and when he did go he bore
away the heart of Dona Inezetta, which he had
, come, like Garcon Knight in the ballad, to try to
win: He had been gone some weeks, when the
command came from the ring for the Duke in
bring his daughter to court.
The reception of the kn - ely maiden at the bill
iant Spanish court wals such as might have been
anticipated. She burst upon them like a newly
arisen star. There was a constellation of beauty
at the palace; bat Dena Inezeita shone among
them like the evening planet. Her beauty, as she
moved through the hall of festivity, called forth the
admiration and homage of the cavalier;,
.and the
astonishment and envy of the ladies. The reign
ing beauties were neglected, that men might wor
ship at the new shrine. Yet all this made no im
pression upon her. Her heart was not in it. flex
thoughts were with the troubadour !
The residence of the Duke and his dinghter was
at the pala.us. The Queen charmed as mach with
the graces of her mind as by her matchless loveli
ness, took her under her patronage, and this in
connection with her rank and wealth, made her the
most distinguished person at court But ull this
homage was received by her with indifference.—
Dien wondered at her coolness and imperturbility.
She seemed to move among them as if she had
been accustomed always to a world's admiring eye
and worshipping knee.
She had been three weeks at court, when one
evening as she was standing upon the balcony,
which looked towards the mountains, at the Mot of
which her castle stood, and was thinking upon
home, and of hita whom there she had first met
and last parted with, a foot fall arrested her ear !
She looked and beheld, within a. step of her, the
young troubadour! He was habited jost as she had
first seen him, and his hand carried his bundle and
staff. She would have yielded to the impulse of
her loving true heart and rushed into his arms
But he knelt before her, and looked so sadly upon
her, that she drew back her face suddenly, reflect
ing the sorrow of his.
" Lady, pardon my presence here ! I have
heard of your fame at court, and that the best
knights in Spain do homage to you.. Among them
you will find a lover worthy of you. I have come
therefore, to restore you your troth generously
plighted to me! Yea shall not be bound to one so
humblC as Lam, when nobles are rivals for your
hand! ' 4 Farewell ! You are free I shall ever
carry with me, wheresoever I wander, the sweet
recollection of the hourS we have loved together,
and my heart will be always grateful for your con
descension to a poor and nameless stranger .
" Stay, Feliz, stay !" she cried with emotion.—
"This language of yours maks me wild ! Am Ito
believe that you then cast my head away, as worth
less! that you can forget me thus lightly !that you
can coolly surrender me to others ! am I not loved
then $ Have I not been loved ? Have I' been de-
ceived ! Cruel, cruel, Feliz "
The young troubadour cast hituself at her feet
His face expressed tho most joyful surprise—the
most animated delight.
," No, Inezetta, no !" he cried taking her hand,
" you have not been deceived, nor have I !—I did
but kw that you would forget me in the splendor"
and temptations of a cant ! I see that I have
wronged you. Forgive me. I will no more doubt! '
But I can hardly realise that you are willing tafor
get all else for one like me !"
"One like you, Fella!" she cried with warmth.
"You are Fella, and I ask no more. I love you
for yourself, not for rank, or title, or name ! I
know that you are worthy of me, or I never should I
have loved you! The instincts of my heart are the
