be very beneficial to those who suffer from .the above

spend a week with, some relations in
the Country. All his joy vanished at
once.- • It:Would take some time to com
municate with her—for 'hers 'to come
down to LeemOuth ; ifshe did not arrive
in time, and he were forced to go alone,
how sad a termination would this be
to all his bright hopes. However, all
was done that could be • suggested.
Letters were written to go by the morn
, ing's post IA; the families she was .to vis

off to find her, if possible, that no
chance migh be lost 'Then Edgar re
turned to ma to his preparations for the
voyage.
In the Mee time, Alice, little • know

at Leemouth was talking over her fu

relatives as tOherOutitt. She had'heard
that Edgar vi t as in hopes of soon obtain

unusual spirits, and was merrily laugh

arrived, and brought the news of Ed

confusiiin immediately.. Boxes were
corded, a hurried adieu was taken, and
she was away. All 'speed 'was made, ,

to go until the nexC day as - he lived at
some distance, so Edgar returned to his
sh ln i. 1,
p the course of the evening ho went
on board of a frigate at anchor there,
andsaiv' the chaplain, who promised to
perform the marriage service the next
morning evithoUt requiring a license—
it not being necessary on board a ship.
At length he thought all his treubles
were over, and he allowed his Hopes
free scope for action.
The next morning the bridal party
appeared, and every one was of oPin

been seen at Pitehton. Proud of , the
bride, ud exulting in his success, Ed
gar as ended to tO the deck CP 'the frig

the, t dispensing with i a license on
batirdship did not aptityllo the case of a
vessel lying in a roadstead. ; Thie was
insuperable difficulty, and the only re
mattng resource was for Edgar to make
mixt plieation for a license to the - reg
ister So-he borrowed a gig arid set od
f
inst•ntly.
Mitmwhile Alice was asked to stay
at tie rectory, where no means were
left untried .. to - alleViate her., anxiety.
But , . othing could induce her to' leave
the arge drawing : roam -window that
eve looks the sea.
T e houSe. stands within:, a stone's
thr.w of the water, and from it you
pa see the • whole sweep •of the bay.
On the other side ,the coast stretches

,and there
dotted with . white houses', - rits hills
flushed with rosy color, when the sun
shilts low, its hazy outline gradually
melting into thedistariee: Not far from
the house in the anchorage, and there,
within a mile of Alice, lay' the Vixen
transport, and still nearer the frigate.
To this it was that 'Alice looked more
'earnestly, for the master of the transport
bad promised not to sail while the other
remained in the bay.
Lower sank the sun ; the shadows
grew longer; the clouds became flushed
with rosy light; then their colors be
came fainter, and deadened into a som
bre-gray ; the ships were less distinctly
seen, but the songs-of the sailors as they
got up their anchors was heard on board
some of them ; a - few put to sea and
glided away into the thickning night.
Alice clenched her hands - still more
tightly, and her cheeks grew pale, and
whenever a step was heard in the ball
she would turn • suddenly to the door,
then quickly look seaward again. Thus
She sat when the shades of evening had
blotted out the Vixen from view, and
the tall masts of the frigate could scarce
ly he seen through the darkness.
- May we never -have to pass through
Such a trial as this! Like the musical

settled to make some excursion; as
the time for starting approaches, how
restless we move about—looking every
moment at the clock—asking again and
again how much more time there is—
eagerly scanning every new comer, and
all for some trifling cause, which will
be forgotten a month hence.; Then
think what would be the agony of ex
citement Hall our prospects of happiness
and success in his depended upon that
expected arrival.
' Meantime Edgar had driven as fast
as possible to the town where the regis
ter resided, full of fears that he might
be away from home; but he found him,
obtained thelicense,and now all diflicul
ties.seemed again to clear away. He
had come depressed with anxiety ; he
returned buoyant with hope. The gray
read and shadowy hedges disappeared,
and in their stead the wide meadow
lands of 'Australia seemed to spread
around him, and in the 'distance rose
his future home bathed in the moon
light. A loud shout awoke him from
his reverie, and ho heard some one call
to.bitn, "your ship is going round the
head."
The Vixen had sailed, though the
„frigate still lay at . anchor. Edgar, al
most frantic, ruslicid to the rectory for
Alice; and then bask toPitchton—There
the people were all in excitement, they
had not yet iearnet s to appreciate the
polish of sellishne ; conventionalism
had not yet petriffed all their sympa
thies, there was as much bustle as if the
two strangers had been their oldest
friends. A boat was got out of harbor,
sails were . bent, provisions enough to
stock a' fleet were volunteered" on all
sides, sailors enough to manage a frigate
offered their services and Edgar having
hurried on board with Alice ) they set
sail, amid the tears of the woman and
the good wishes of the men.
For a night and a day they pursued
'the hopeless•chase, nor did they return
to Pitchton until every chance had van
ished. Edgar was a ruined mite ; his
appointment was lost, and with it all
his hopes of succeSSein life. The little
property which had belonged to him
he had sold, and invested althismoney,
in his outfit, or on stock which was now
on his way to the other side of the
world. But, at all events, he had not
lost his bride. So,, instead of sitting
down to lament his misfOrtunes, he
determined to bear them - as best he
might, and be Married forthwith. So
the next day, the ceremony was per
formed, and half the town attended ;
and the rector gave a wedding break
fast, and the banker's wife made Alice
a handsome Present, and everybody did
what they could to dissipate the air of
'melancholy which would have attended
the marriage. Edgar then left-for Lon
don, carrying away from Pitchtlon
many good wishes, but; having little
hopes for himself.
hut the J-leetor wrote to the Home
Office, mentioning the peculiarit of
~„
the circumstances, .and represent g
that Edgar had been ashore on lea e,.
and that the transport sailed before the'
frigate, contrary to the express promise
of tho master. In a few days au an
swer, was received, stating that in con
sequence of the c:reumstances, and of
Edgar's good character, a situation
equivalent in value had been provided
for him, with compensation for his
losses. . .
SO, in due time, the young couple
were Yeaping the fruits of their energy
and perseverance, and' realizing in
Australia the picture of happiness they
had often Conjured up at home. To
those who despond under difficulties,
and are ready to yield' to, the suggestion
of despair,This true history may per
haps speak words of encouragement.
Moderation is the silken string runn
ing through the chain, of all the virtues.
IL WARD BEECHER CATECHISED.
Many - Who heard Henry Ward Beech
er at the. late National Christian Con
vention held at Now-York, say that
they listened to the happiest ofibre.of
his life; - It is dtlubtfol Whether he
himself would so regard Wee it was
unstudied and touched none of the
magnitudes, and hence called for no
extraordinary display of mental poWer.
The subject itself was trite enough—
." How to conduct prayer-meeting"
and showed to they full the woliderful
power of the man in that for one hour,
upon this subject, ho held his audience
under a spell of entrancement. It was a
mingling of fun and pathos and senti
ment and wisdom such as one but sel
dom enjoys. The experience of years—
an experience which commenced with
a very, poverty of numbers, 'and has
culminated In - bestirs an average
prayer-meeting. attendance of nine
hundred—was condensed into sixty
Perhaps the beet thing that
can be said' of it is, that it awakened in
many an appetite for more, as impera-
Give as-that or Oliver Twist. After the
adjournment of the, morning session
about fifty men, mostly young all iden
tified with the hardest of Chrhitian
work in the most unpromising fields,
gathered. about him in order to wrest,
from him some of the secrets of his
success. 'The results were toe valuable
to pass without enduring record. The
questioning lasted nearly, and hour and
a half. During that:time, Xt . . Beecher
was in' the centre of a densely 'packed
ernwd, and not given a moment's'rest.
The questions were .sometimes .ramb
ling, but nearly.all tended to uncover
an inward experience that others beilde
those then present would be glad to see.
Omitting, of course, many things, the
questions and answers were very near
ly as follows :
" Mr; Beecher, what do you do with
bores in your prayer-meeting ?"
-" Well, I try to be patient with them.
Christ when he was living was troubled
with hOres, and I say to myself, Why
should Inot be ?. I try to educate them,
and make something out of them. The
man who is a boxi, now, may become- an
effective worker, Hone Is only a patient.'
" Well, but Mr. - Beecher"—it was
Mr. Moody that interupted, as one
might almost know from the character
of the question—" there are some that
are confirmed bores, and if you let
them go on they kill smash a ,prayer
meeting all to pieces—what do you do
with them?"
- "I never have, and never will allow
any oite to ' smash' a prayer-meeting.—
If I eannotc,brino• abouo a reformation
by privately talkie to„ him,—if 'no
other means will at swer, I can say to
such a man, SIT 'D WN. But then,
there are many way to be tried first.—
if I see that man is apt to talk in set
phrase and continually repeat, I inter
rupt him with a queStion. A question
is an obstruction in his track. He will
have to get over it, or go aroundit, or
come to a stand still. I ask Wm about
his own experience in relation to what
he is a- talking about, and in such a
conversation there Fi no chance to be
formal. I question the timid ones also.
Whet: I •see That one that is deserving
'of aid is halting and stumbling, I help
hint with a question. There are a good
many that cannot make a speech in
prayer meeting, that can answer ques
tio;ns."
"Do you Make special preparation
for a prayer-meeting',"
"Yes. That is I always have a sub-
StVniii tint s :3 91, 6 }4' i llthi t'l??1"'M - ;Ty " (strfa.4 - ,
and Ziotnetinies it is not. When it is
not, I never try to bring it back, but, I
try to develop the thought that comes
out tit': most prominently. I- try' to
find out as quick as possible the lea(l
-ings of the. Holy Spirit, and then fol
low them."
" Did you ever have to exercise any
authority in prayer-meeting of • the na
ture you alluded to 2"
"I had one man that used to. trouble
me a great deal. He used"—and here
Mr. Beecher impersonated him to the
life—" he used to drug his words out ni
the most tediously slow process that you
can imagine: One evening he com
menced as usual " I—hope—that—my
young—friends— will—not—like—me—
put—ofr— their consideration—of the
interests of eternity," and Just
then I interrupted him, by saying: Mr.
—, if you go on that way much long
er, Eternity will he hero and half
through before you lint!'
" What aro your theories for develop
ing tho , e that attcfnd yourprayer-meetr
ing and managing men ?"
" I have no theories. One is to de
velop in one way and anotherin anoth
er, One man lack in Ihisand another
in that: It must be a minister's con
stant study to cultivate that which is
feeble in men and to prune that over
growth. As to managing men : I never
see a man unless 1 think, Now how
could I manage this man? lam like
an engineer that can never pass a fort
without thinking, How could I take
that fort?"
• "Do you 'make special preparation
for, your pulpit ministrations,—that
do you aim to make what you ee dur
ing the week of special service to you
on the Sabbath ?"
" Well, no. I don't ask my, read or
beef-what it is going to do for e when
I cat it. They go into the stom en and
arnmade into muscle ' add nel_ve and
blood without my watching the process.
So I read and see, without asking what
my reading and seeing are going spec
ially to do. I make my sermons in this
way: When in the course of reading
or thinking some subject outlines itself
before me, specilly adapted to pulpit
use; make memoranda of it, and put
them in a drawer that I have. Then on
Sabbath morning, about half an hour
before service, I open this drawer and
Cake them ail out and spread them all
out and spread tlieui before me,:and
choose the one for whichl am in the best
mood to preach. At '6 o'clock in the
afternoon, I do the same for my even
ing sermon. This is not the bdst way,
for a great many, but I have found it
best suited for me, and every man must'
determine for himself the modes
through which he Can obtain the high
est success."
Subequently, i happened that Mr.
Moody MIS prese! t at an examination,
of candidates for admission to the Ply
mouth Church of Brooklyn. Not being
entirely - satisfied with it, and wishing
to ascertain fully What were Mr. Beech
er's views as to the requisites for admis
sion to the church, he again catechised
him.. Those who are interested in the
two men will iind , occasion for at least
it smile at ;the happy repartees of the
Plymouth pastor.
" Mr. Beecher;suPposo that I should
conic here, a timid young man, scared
nearly to death with the idea of being
publicly examined before all the pro
pie, what would yoino with me?"
" I cannot conceive that you could
possibly come here under the. circum
stances." [Laughter.]
" Well, it 1. should present myself for
admission to your church, what would
you do mlith tile 9"
" I think we should have to take you
ou probation for about six months."—
[Luughtier.]
It would take too much space to give
the Con versa lion in detail; but It die;:
ted .8,0 facts: that in the examiva-,
ton of candidates, Mr. _Beecher is
eminently tender w"h the timid, and
MN
ribt apt to spare those who are- formal;
that his great purpose is to ascertain
whether love to Christ has really ger.'
t
urinated; that h. does not approve of
theater-going., wile drinking; etc.; but
does not .alWayS reject those who in
dulge in them, if he be satisfied that
they are reallyjovers of Christ i trust
ing that as his. 11)ve grows ancLstrength
ens there may tome witlklt desires for .
better things; fiat " if a - and of the
church, whose antecedents were known,
was born again, and laid • upon its
threshhold on. the evening of its birth.
we Would take it in without l waiting to
see whether it, had vitality enough to
keep from . being frozen to death if it
remained out until morning-I,ml exper
iment, iMwever, we should not like to
try unleis Wo thoroughlYknow all the
antecedents."
Mr, Beecher closed by humorously
saying : " After I get through, therc.is
brother F. over there who has a set of
questions lie always asks, and then
there is another of. my deacons that
has another Fet that he asks, and so on,
and after we get alithrough, the chur h
doers just what it, has a mind to,"
1.:1
Better than the best of his serrno IS
was this informal talk, which exhibit d
in it no much of tender ess and anxiety
ever that Christ 5,,0 hl bo found in
men, and which pr.rAented. also, so
strongly the desire ti at in Him all
might bo saved. However loosely at
times, he. may, in his platform utter
ances, state his beliefs, of this We made
sure, that Christ, and Christ only, was
the central point of Mr. Beecher's the
ology; and-when we 'left, we left wls4-

• How THERMOMETERS ARE MADE. , -
From ail article i a 'Our Young FOlks
for February, we select the following:
"What is this ?" said. Lawrence,
picking up a, piece of glass' from the
floor. "'lt looks like a broken ther
mometer tube."
" It is blown for one," Raid the gaffer.
"Blown ?—so small ?" exclaimed
Lawrence. " I can't lind• the holein it."
" It has a holo=oebore, as we call it—
of the usual size; but it is fiat.. That
is to mahe a very little mercury look to
.be a good deal.
• Would 3ou like to see such,a tube
made? Come here. Watch this man."
With delight and curiosity, Lawrence
watched. The MLitt was gathering a
lump of.metal from one of the pots.—
Ile blew it gently, and . shaped it on a
marver, flattening it until it resembled
in born and size th , fit nart of a sword-

" In flattening it," said the gaffer,

Two little lumps were held by 'the

command, the boy shouldered his lion
tee, like a very large staff - with a very
small bundle on the end of it, and set
out to travel. As lie ran in one direc

off into the other, the glowing lump
stretching between them like some
,miraculous kind of spruce gum. In a
'minute they were seventy or eighty feet
apart, with a gleaming cord of glass,

Itween them. This was presently low

of the lump at the ends, when. a man
cattle along, and stopping ; commenced
cutting the long tube into twifoun
lengths of about iive feet, and packing
them together. into a narrow., long box.
"'These," said the gaffer, "he-. sends

is one that might perhaps be "more hon

Th !incident that follows shows that
there are times when something may
be said on both sides. An old fashioned
minister was attending the last rites of
one of the members of his church,
when, after praising the virtues of the
deceased, he turned to the afflicted
husband and said :
"My beloved bother, :von have been
called to part with one of the best nud
loveliest of wives." •
tip rose the sorrow stricken husband
interrupting the minister with :
"Oh, no, pargon, not the best, bu

NO. I.
t : We all 'know that the falUng of, any
hody•frona any distancQ above the earth
to the earth is eauwed by a power that
philosophers have united In calling
Gravitation—and. the rooks, the sons,
the waters, and even ourselves are held
to the earth by this power, whatever
this power may he.
It is clearly shown that the sun and
- - - -
all the planets, and fixed stars also pos
sess this 'power, and that their power
of gravitation acts upon the earth and
tends to attract it towards them, the
moon on account at' its greater proximi
ty exercising the greatest, attraction.
The law of this attraction, or gravita
tion, is that .one body attracts another
directly -in proportion to the mass of
the ,attractinr , body and inversely in
of
to the) square ofthe distance
of the two bodies froth each other or In
,other words—" Every particle of mat
(ter attracts every other particle by a
force proportional to the mass, and In
versely as the square of the dlstauce."
Without attempting to explain how
the earth retains its place, or rather its
cycle and resists as a body the attempts
of other heavenly, bodies to draw it to
themselves, wo can see that were this
force of attraction which the earth fra a
body exercises upon the various smaller
bodies on its surface, removed or de
stroyed, or were the - attraction of ' the
heavenly bodies so increased as to op;
erate on the stn.:ll'6e of the earth with
greater force than that which the
body of the earth itself exercises over
those surface objects, they would bp at
tracted from the earth to some • other
planet or planets exorcising such great
er attraction, or in other words, 'would
falloff the earth.'
Let me illustrate this force of gravi
ation.
I hold in my hand a horse-shoe mag
net, and in one cup of these delicate
brass scales, I place a needle weighing
just three grains. In. the other cup I
place two one grain weights, Tnow hold
over the needle my - Magnet and no of
ect is produced do the needle. I lower
my magnet a little towards the 'needle
and that end of the scales comes up so
as just to balance the two grains, show
ing the then weight of tho,-needie to be,
two grains. Still holding the magnet
in the same position, I take out one of,
the grain weights, and the needle 'end
of the scales , immediately goes 'doivn.
I again lowe my magnet, and the nee
dle end co es up, showing -that the
needle now weighs one grain. I take
out the one,._ rain and the needle end
goes dewn,': I now lower my magnet
.still further; the needle end of the scales
domes up to a balance, showing that the
needle nov weighs nothing. I lower
the magnet still further when the nee
dle leaves the scale cup and attaches It
self to the magnet.
This is a very neat experiment, which
any one can repeat who has a magnet
and the small brass scales with appro
priate weights. Ido not mean 'to say
by this that the attraction of gravita
tion and the attraction of the magnet
are identical. Another illustrative ex
periment. I
_take from the stove on
this tin paper cutter some of_the light
delicate 'wnite - ashes clinging still to
the partly burnt coal. I turn over my
tin, and the white ashes by the - force of
gravitation fall to the table. I take
this half - sheet of clean white note pa-
Pr ,1 lay it on; the stove 'for a Moment
tiff ' it - is warn,, then rub my wool

briskly, then 'bring It within about on-

mediately, tease the table and attach
themselves to the note paper, the eleb
trical att .etion of the paper overcom
ing the at raction of gravitation of the
earth. I
Again, lIal:e the same half' sheet of
note Pape , warm it and rub It with my
coat sleeve as before; the taking it by
the corner between/the thumb and fete-
Linger of ray left hand, I bring it with- -
io two or three inches of.my right hand,
when the lowest end of the paper im
mediately advances and clings quite
tenaciously to my right.band. •
The paper need I not necessarily be a
half sheet of note.
In front of my ()face is a large Balm
of Gilead tree which was set out thirty
seven years ago when it was a small
twig, and its bark is as smooth as the
check of a young girl of twelve. It
has gradually grown to be a very large
tree, its bark is rough and grooved in
to ranges of hill and valley and covered
with moss and fungi and minute. 'ani
malculte. Daily for thirty-seven yeart
it has been crowding out its outer cov
ering, growing rougher and rougher cp.--
cry year,
and the debris of dead bark
has been falling down to •the earth, till
it has probably cast off . five - times its
present bulk. As each *particle is forced
out and dies, the attraction of cohesion
gradually loss its grasp. pon it; it
falls down by' the force of gravitation
and beconaes t a part of the dead sub
stance of the nin'th's outer covering:
. The same May be said of all animal
and vegetable life. It is continually
casting off from its surface dead parti
cles that were once alive, and formed
part of the living body. It has been
even said by physiohigists, that the hu
man body entirely Sheds itself every
seven years—that the skin, the flesh
anti bones of the young boy will in sev
en years be apart of the dead natter
of the earth and for every particle t-cast
off a newer anti firmer particle will be
supplied. He has lost every particle of
substance he had seven years ago and
yet his identityis preserved.
~
Let us imagine that each animal and
vegetable body is removed from all at
tracting influences:other than its own.
All these Particles that now fall to the
earth under the influene6 of the earth's
attraction,, would be retained on each
body respectively, and form, like the
broken up and comminuted rocks and
soil on the surface of the earth, a secon
dary covering proportionately ; RS deep
as the secondary formations` of the
globe we inhabit.. Human ingenuity,
under such- circumstances , could not n
vent'any plan to divest thq body of its
dead exuvilt. It would cling to it ever
like the shirt of Nessus.
The earth having a. greater attract
ing power within itself than any other
planet has upon it, - or its surface, it
necessarily retain upon itself all hod
ie:s living or de:o.l. though otherwise
unattached.
I wish the reader to retain in his
oleinory these illustrations and* 'princi
ples for future use during this WECUS
