The black abyss, infinite in magnitude, and unfathomable to our conception as eternity; surrounding the Earth on all fdes: and 0CcaPvinS Q extent, hundreds of other systems more extensive than our own, is truly the most imposing, and the most bewildering subject, that the mind of mortals can dwell upon. The Sun is the center of our system. His average distance is about 95 millions of miles. .He has no orbit but revolves round a point on its axis. The Earth, and the other planets, revolve round the Sun with diflerent velocities. These nearest the Sun move quicker, and those at a greater distance, slower. The force of attraction is more intense on the plan ets which move nearest; while at the distance of Uranus, or Neptune, it is al most powerless: consequently their speed round the Sua is slower, which makes their year almost as long as 83 of ours; besides the plane of their orbits describes a distance almost inconceivable. If you look at the broad expanse of he heavens, on a clear niht. and watch leisurely, you will discover too, that the Etars ald0 revolve round their respective centers, on the same principle, that the Earth moves round the Sun. The aerial field like an iuimeuse banner studded I with innumerable stars, contains the thea tre of the universe, where each little world performs a part in the grand mech anism of gravitation. Each moves round its center, and has satellites according to their proportion of magnitude. The larger body, or center, has an attractive, or cohesive influence over the smaller 00 eJ and tl,is ufluence is limited by the round the Sun with greater velocity than the Earth; and the Earth travels with more velocity than Neptuue. 1 he fixed stars are irencrallv seen are irencrallv seen in groups. lhir distance from our system is immense. The most powerful optic cannot majuify them. They are only brightened, not enlarged to the observer, and it has been affirmed by astronemcrs, that, supposing a cannon-ball flying at its usual velocity for a million of years, it would not reach one of the fixed stars. Each is a sun or system, calculated to be many hundred times more extensive than our own. All planets, or bodies that re volve round in orbitual regularity, receive light, warmth, and agreeable diversity of climate, and local economy, from their respective centers. Some of the planets have satellites or moons, which describe different orbits round them. The Earth has only one, Jupiter four, and Saturn six. A broad belt, or ring of fire, or phosphoretic exhalation, circles the body of the latter planet horizontally. It is supposed to be atmospheric combustion, thatexhalcs from the surface of the placet, and expands by little particles, till it reaches the strata or luminous circles; but whether it disappears by atmospheric or chemical solution, is not known. The horizontal position of the ring might be caused by the centrifugal force. It has been the means of much useful research among scientific men. Uut the most sublime feature on the celestial scenery is the comet. What they arc, or how regulated, is not thoroughly known. The strange visitors appear at in definite periods, spreading consternation and alarm amongtLe nationsof the earth lingering as it were a little while, and disappearing. The immense tail, or train of fire diverging from the body of the comet, is said to extend many hundred millions of miles. The nature of the eomet is not universally understood; but astronomers can easily explain their phys ical properties, and predict with accuracy, the time of their appearance. They have very irregular orbits. Long before they appear in view, their effect is visible on the neighboring planets. An irregular and unsteady motion is observed among them, caused by the immense and powerful influence of attractive force. They are very large, and around what center, or through what extent ther or bits are situated, is a mystery. It seems very unlikely, that they belong to the Solar System. The Earth is a planet of the second magnitude. It revolves round the Sun on the same principle as the other plan ets. A single revolution occupies 305 days and some minutes. It travels in its orbit at the rate of 08,000 miles an hour, and takes 24 hours to turn round once upon its axis. A fluid, or atmosphere surrounds the Earth on all sides, which produces that bluish expanse which we term the skies. This atmosphere reaches to the height of .about 45 miles, and it - o- rf has been ascertained by competent cxperi mcnt, that the weiMn t of air around the body of a middle seized man is about 14 tons. This immense pressure is coun teracted by the air withiu our bodies, as it has the property of procuring equilib rium, no matter how d liferent in magni tude, two bodies, the atuiospltcro may be. It produces as we say that bluish cujor over head when illuminated by the light, either of the sun, moon, or stars. A ray of light passing from the sun to the Earth, does so in the space of eight minutes. The Earth has one atteodant, or satel lite, namely, the Moon. The lime it oc cupies in traveling round the Earth is 28 dajs, which comprise a lunar month, lunar signifying moon. The Moon is not inhabited. It has no rivers, or seas, or ocean, like the Earth. On observing it through a good telescope, it is nppi'fantly a mass of rock, bold and rugged; intersected by deep gorges, and ravines, scarcely perceptible. It is the attractive influence of the moon upon the Earth, which produces the ebb and flow of the tide. We have two tides in the space of 24 hours, and this ebb and flow of the tides, increases as the moon ad vances to the full. The attractive force of the moon upon the water, increases as she nears or is directly on our meridian. The waters continue to flow for nearly two hours after she passes, because being once set in motion they proceed onward, until they pass around with the attractive force. On the very same principle, he heat of the weather in July and August, is more intense than on the 21st of June, when the sun was decidedly over our heads. The heat iucreascs for nearly two months after the rays fell perpen dicularly on the tropic of Cancer. The Earth is not round literally. It is a little flattened at the poles, probably caused by the cohesive pressure when it was in a liquid state. Geologist affirm, that the interior of the globe is composed of liquid, or boiling fire hence its shape. All liquids when in motion, form into rounded particles, from the cohesive in fluence of attractive force. It is clearly demonstrated in a shower of rain. As the drops desceud to the Earth, they grow in maguitude, proportionable to the distance they tail; each tiny drop unitin as it comes down. If you examine a hail stone, you will see clearly the little par ticles all united together as th'ey were falling, and in that state were frozen. If three rain guages are placed at different elevations, it will be found that the lower one contains nearly three times the quan tity that is in the higher. This follows from the union of particles as they de scend. Leaden shot are formed by thesame process, merely by passing through the atmosphere, where the material is in a liquid state. The Earth was thus formed. It is globulous or nearly round. The quick revolution on the axis, produced the proturburant immensity at the Equator. Many, and simple are the demonstrations of the Earth's rotundity. If you stajjd on the sea shore, and look out over tne wide expanse of the waters, where the horizon bounds the view; and wait till a ship appears, you will find that thetop of the mast will be the first visible. The hull of the vessel is buried -down deep, between the sky and the water, or it would have been descried first, but it is not. It is on the surface, ouly on a low er level. The sea rises between the eye and the ship; and the land also, no matter how level, seems, or is actually risen, be tween the eye, and any object that you look upon at a distauce. If yoa rest your head upon the pillow, and watch a star intently that is uear, or appears to be near the edge of the sash in your chamber, and mark its relative position with regard to the other stars, you will in a little time discover, that it slowly moved either side. Stars move every way, according to their position with the center, east or west, 44 progressive, retrograde, or standing still." If the Earth did not move round on its axis, one-half of it would have always day, and the other half night. If the Sun moved round the Earth, it would pro duce day and night, to unendurable ex tremity. The theory of gravitation in bodies is simple, until you begin to prob lemize it. Gravitation and Cohesion generally, or always go hand in hand. Cohesion is thus described with Gravitation: "The very law that moulds a tear. And bids it trickle from its source; That law preserves the Earth a sphere. And guides the planets in their course." Men have actually sailed round the world at different times, which is the plainest proof, that we have of its rotund ity : Columbus first determined to explore, A western passage to the Indian -hore; Spain gave him aid, the enterprise begun ; The daring chief pursued the setting sun. And found another world. Magellen, Drake, Cook, Anson, others, followed in his wake; Traversed the boundless oceans o'er and o'er, Where never breeze had filled a sail before; Returned again by India, and the Cape, And left no doubt as to our planet's shape." And now how awfully conclusive, must be the design in the creation of this won dcrful machinery? Nothing but an All Wise Omnipotence, could ever conceive the intense sublimity, displayed in the firmanent! Myriads of worlds travel in harmonious economy, through tho dim, dun atmosphere of infinitude; each kept in regular and due confinement, by a power almost akin to Deity itself! The stars of night shed their still, cold light on the fiery-flying chariot of their Ruler; and the orbs of day gladden in their glory, as they manifest the wonders ot His hand! All is harmony, grandeur, and sublimity; all traverse the fields of the Celestial, now glorified by the execssivo scenery of di vine light, and then plunged onward, through the chaotic blindness, into the dark abyss of the eternal I Truly we look up to the bright home of the starlight wonder at its immensity, and marvel at its architrave of its desigu and workmanship: and cannot help ex claiming: that the heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmanent showeth his handiwork!"

Among the attractions of a ihow loca ted some time since in Market street, near Ninth, was an ape of unusual size and proportions. The animal was -stricken with tubercular consumption. He had cost his owner three hundred and fifty dollars. The owner brought the animal to Mr. Nash, the anatomist of the medical department of the University of Pennsyl vania, promising a fee of eighty dollars in case of cure. The treatment, however was begun too late. The animal died, and Mr. Nash was presented with the body. lie prepared the skeleton in an admirable manner, and mounted it erect, with spectacles on the eyes, an hour-glass in one hand, and a scythe, made for the purpose, iu the other. The whole was extremely grotesque. A tavern keeper near by saw the skele ton, and asked the privilege of exhibiting it behind his bar. Mr. Nash assented. It had been upon the toddy mixer's shelf a few minutes, when four men entering called for "whisky cocktails." The tavern keeper rushed for his bottle, when the eyes of the men caught thestrangespectacle be fore them.' They didn't abruptly leave, but. the order for whisky cocktails was summarily changed into a request for "pony ales." Dar tender thought this rather queer, but could't yet see the point. 1 he next customer, who was about half tipsy, called for "brandy straight." when, glancing at the skeleton before him, he started out at the door, leaving the liquor untasted in the tumbler. It took the taverukeeper half a day to ascertain that the exhibition which he designed as an attraction to his bar was operating coot rarity, and about (our o'clock iu the afteruon he rushed back with the ape to Mr. Nash, very greateful for the kindness, but fully determined that a skeleton behind a whisky couuter pos sesses an amount of suggestiveeess emin ently prcjudical to the filling of the money drawer. Taverukeepers who get up mu seums in their bar-rooms should act upon this suggestion, and avoid anything point ing to the inevitable results of imbibing the poisoned liquor of the present era Daily Keucs. The Man of Integrity. We love to gaze upon some beautiful planet in the beaveus, and watch its course night after night as it travels its majestic path among the stars. We are filled with admiration; and, like ourself, thousands are gazing on the same planet, filled with inexpressible emotions. Like the planet in a dark sky is the man of unbending integrity. We look upon him with the same feeling of love and admiration, as we watch his daily course among his fellow-men. In troub lous times his light goes not out, though it may burn feebly, lie still exerts the same glorious influence, and hundreds gaze upon him with delight. No seats of honor dazzle him; no wealth seduces him. He pushes straight on in the path of duty. The fear of God is continually before him, and he feels the importance of Cvery moment's work to lead mankind to the fountain of truth aud purity. De hold the man thus fired with true love to God and his fellow-creatures! Every act tells nobly for the cause of justice aud humanity. Every deed is a living epistle to the truth. Would you share in his glory? Labor in the satjie field. Would you lessen the ills of humanity and assist immortal be ings to reach the skies? Imitate his ex ample, and walk in the same virtuous paths. Taking a Receipt The Hartford Times vouches for the truth of the following story : "Fat Malone, you are fined five dollars for assault and battery on Mike Sweeney." "I have the money in my pocket and I'll pay the fine, if your honor will give me a rcsatt." "We give no receipts here. We Just take the money. You will not be called on a second time for your fine." "But your honor, I'll not be wanting to pay the same till after I get the resate." -What do you want to do with it ?" "If your honor will write one and give it' to me. I'll tell you." "Well, there's your receipt. Now what do you want to do with it?" "I'll tell your honor. You see, one of those days I'll be after dyin, and when I go to the gate of heaven, I'll rap, and St. Peter will say, "Who's there V and I'll say, "It's me, Pat Malone," and he'll say "What do you want ?" and I'll say, "I want to come in," and he'll say, "Did you behave likeadaccntboy in theothcrworl I. and pay all your Cues and such things ?" and I'll say "Yes, your holiucss, and then he'll want to see my resate, and I'll put my hand in my pocket and take out my resale and givo it to him, and I'll not have to go plodding all over hell t find your honor to get oue " A tree worth lookiug at was recently sent to the saw mill at Krene, N.

One of our exchanges is responsible for the following story relative to this po pular and pernicious vice : Not many evenings since, it is recorded that a sinner who has escaped hanging, for lo ! these many years, was in company with several ladies. The subject of for tune telling was introduced. Several cf the "angels" pleaded guilty to the soft impeachment of having written to Madam? This and Madam That to furnish thenr leaves from their future history. In stances were mentioned of some remark able developments in a certain case here abouts, Old It was asked for his- opinion. He replied, "So far as I am con cerned I know more myself than I wish to. I don't think any good comes from these things. I had a friend who dressed himself in lady's clothes and called upon a celebrated prophetess. He did not be lieve she would discover the disguise, but he heard what made him exceedingly unhappy." Here the old reprobate ceas ed A lady who was much interested asked, "What did she tell him !" "She told him he was to marry soon, and be come the mother of ten children I" Early Disadvantages, "I learned grammar," says William Cobbet, "when 1 was a private soldier on the pay of six pence a day. The edge of my berth, or that of my guard bed, was my seat to study, and my lap was my writ ing table. I had no money to purchase candles or oil ; in winter time it was rarely that I could get any light but that of the fire, and only my turn even of that. To buy a pen, or a sheet of paper, I was compelled to forego some partioa of my lood, though in a state of half starvation. I had no moment of time that I could call my own, and I had to read and write amidst the talking, laughing, singing,, whistling and bawling of at least b-alf a. score of the most thoughtless of men ;. and that, too, in hours of their freedom from all control. And I say, if I, under circumstances like, these, could encounter and overcome the task, is there one who can find an excuse for the non-perform ance." A clcrgymau who was in the habit of preaching to different parts of the coun try, was not long since in an inn, when he observed a horse jockey trying to take in a simple countryman, by imposing-up-on him a brokenwinded horse for a sound one. The parson knew the bad character. of the jockey, and taking the man aside,, told him to be cautious of the man he was dealinz with. The man finaly decline 1 i the purchase, and the jockey quite ne: j tied, observed : "Parson, I had much rather hear you preach than see you privately interfere in bargains between man and man, in this way." 44 Well," replied the parson, "if you h id been where you ought to have been last Sunday you might have heard me preach." "Where was that?" inquired thejock- cy. "In the state prison !" retorted tho clergyman. The United States Senate adjoanfedx sine die on Saturday evening, after v special session of nearly a month.
