The sun, in June, goes down at Stock holm a little before ten o'clock. There is a great illumination all night, as the sun pass es round the earth towards the north pole, and the "refraction of its ruys is such that you can see to read at midnight. Dr. Baird read a letter in the forest. near Stockholm,- at midnight, without artificial light. There is a mountain at the head of Bothnia, whore, on the 21st of 'June, the sun dues not go down at ;tll. Travelers go there to see it. A steamboat goes up front Stockholm for the pity:lslof carrying those who are curi ous to witness the phenomenon. It occurs only one night. The sun goes down to the horizon, you can see the whole face of it, and in five minutes it begins to rise. • At the North Cape, latitude 72 degrees, the sun does not go down fer several days. In June it would be about 25 degrees above. the horizon at midnight. The way the peo ple know it is midnight, they see the sun rise. The changes iu these high latitudes, from sumtnei• to winter, are so great that we can have no conception of them at all. In the winter time, the sun disappears, and is not seen for weeks. Then it comes and shows its lice. Afterwards, it remains ten,. fifteen. ..)r twent . , minutes, and thee descends, and finally it does net set at all, but makes almost a circle around the heavens.

(I obtained the following legend from the lips of an Indian trader tvhorn I net at the lshtiulof La Pointe, in Lake Superior. Ha said it was related to hint by a hunter of the Chippowyan nation, and that he had heard a similar story R 1110110: theChippeways f) L. There was once a gum rel among the stars, when one of them was driven away frota its home in the heavens, and den : ended to the earth. it wondered front one tribe of Indi ans to another, and had been hovering over the camp-fires, of a thousand Indians when they were preparing themselves !Or sleep. It always attracted attention, and : inspired wonder ittid ndwiration. It often liyhtcd upon the heads of little children, as if for' the ptirpose of playing ‘‘ ith them, but they were invariably frightened, and drove it away by their loud crying. A mong all the people in the world only nue could be found who was not afraid of this beautiful star, and this was a little the Minghter of a Uhippewyan warrior. She was not afraid of the star, but rather than this site loved it with her whole heart, and was very happy in her love. That she was loved by the star in return there could h no doubt, fir wher ever she traveled with her father through the wilderness, there a: th e ni g ht c ame did the :atr foll-w, but it was never seer: in the day time. \Then the girl awoke at flotted just above her head, and itsl,?ep it Iva , so constant in is walehlidness that Y? iwver ~p ined her eyes, ey..'n tit Inidni;!ht with , ”it b,•11.31,16 . 1 , its briiti:uat liLdit.

She did so, and in the tangled thickest' of the swamp she lost her way. She became frightened, and cried aloud for her father to come to her help. The wily creatures that answered her cries were the fro:. , s and the lonely bittern. The night was rapi lly corn imr, sad the further she wandered the mere icate became her pith.

It ever seemed to be hiking for sotnethiug that it could nut find, and the peoplt; knew that it was un happy.on account of the LI 11 timely death of the girl it had loved. Additional years pass ed on, and with the leaves of autumn it , finally disappeared. A cold and long winter seen followed, and the hottest summer that had ever been known. During this season • it so happened that a hunter chanced at night to foliuw a bear into one of the. largest switmlis of the hula, when MiiT astonish ii•nt he discovered a small light hanging over the water. It was so beautiful that he ledlowed it for a lung distance, but it led in to such dangerous places that he gave up the pursuit, and returned to tell his people what he had seen. And then it was that the oldest men of the tribe told him that the light hediad seen was the star that had been driven from heaven, and that it was now wandering over the earth for the purpose of finding the beautiful girl it had loved.— And tharstar is still upon the earth, and is often seen by the humors as they journey at night through the wilderness.—Stdion rrl Intelligcncer. WeLL AsswEnED.---A Quaker whn was examined before a court, for not using-any other language than, "thee," , thou." and "friend," wcs asked by the presiding.Tudge. "Pray, sir, do you know what we sit here for ?" "Yes, verily do I," said the Quaker, "three of ye for two dollars each a day, and the fat one in the middle for one thousand dollars a,year." • IN POLITICS. A correspondent of the Washington Re publican says : -Dr. Parkman was one of our wealthiest citizens. His property was estimated at about half a million. Ile was in the habit of carrying large sums of money about his person. A gen' l nan who once went to him I. •;*r bl,ooo tells me that Dr. 1 3 , answer.: ed him by thritsting toll his forefinger, and remarking "there is just the sum." On ex eelination, the gentleman found that the doc tor had a thousand dollar bill wound round his finger. The doctor was a large owner of real 'estaT, and had numerous poor ten auts,-fr?nn whom ho made his collections himself. Ito was punctilious in his busi.: . tress habits, but bestowed much charity in. an unosteutious way. A politician once stopped hint in the street, and asked him to subscribe to a fund for firing a salute in hon or of some party victory. "Just step with me round the corner," said the doctor.— Mg. him up a dirty alley, through a dark doorway, and up three flights of rickety stairs, the doctor tapped at a door which was opened by a wretched pale-faced A poor woman. apparently in the last stage of cot stiM ption, was sitting proped up id bed, and feebly attempting to sew up a shirt "Now;" said the doctor, turning to the polb: being, "here are ten dollars; you may eith.: or fire it away in powder, or give it to thii poJr woman. I won't attempt to bias you." The doctor darted out of the room and down stairs, leavinu the nonplussed politician stand.; ing by th e bedside of the invalid. Hu did not hesitate long as to his disposition of the money.
