"Pnt a week is so long!" he said With a toss of his curly head. '-One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! Seven whole days! Why, in six, you know (You said it yourself-you told me so), The great God in Heaven Made all the earth and the seas and skies, The trees and the birds and the butterflies! How can I wait for my seed to grow?" "But a month is so long!" he said, With a droop of his boyish head. "Hear me count-one, two, three, foar Four whole weeks, and three days more; Thirty-one days, and each will creep As the shadows crawl over yonder steep; Thirty-one nights and I shall lie Watching the stars climb up the sky! How can I wait till a month is o'er?" "But a year is so long !" he said, Uplifting his bright young head. "But there's much to win, there is much to lose; A man must labor, a man must choose, And he must be strong to wait! The years may be long; but who would wear The crown of honor, must do and dare! No time has he to toy with fate, Who would climb to manhood's high estate!" "Ah! life is not long!" he said, Bowing his grand white head, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven ! Seven times ten are seventy. Seventy years! As swift their flight As swallows cleaving the morning light, Or golden gleams at even, Life is short as a sungn!er nl=ht How long, 0 God! is eternity?' gIgtige t$r. A BURL OR I DEBDNGj I am an ardent admirer of fe male beauty, and ought to have been an artist or a sculptor, but I am neither. I was a book-keeper for Brown & Co., wholesale deal ers in hides and tallow. Henry Bower, a young man of very live ly disposition, was employed in .the same office. We boarded and rode together. One night Henry and I attend ed one of the lyceum lectures in W. We had hardly been in the hall flye minutes before my atten tion was fixed upon one of the ladies in the front seat. She was a lhttle to the right of me, but a'i she was talking ver y earnestly to the lady next to her, her face was turned towards us ; and suscepti ble as i am, I could not but be im pressed by the beauty of' it. indeed, I could not withdraw my gaze from the beautiful young lady before me. She had golden hair, and her bluest of eyes swam full of love and sweetness. Her nose was small and straight, and she had just the prettiest dimple among the blushes on either cheek. And then such a mouth I What.red lips, teeth of pearl flash ing between the roses. Her fore. head was smooth and broad, and her neck, .1 saw as the fur capo drooped low on ber shoulders, was as white as alabaster and smooth as marble. In brief, I did not bear a -word of the lcture. A -month passed without my seeing anything of my beautiful stranger. But about that time 1 received an invitation to visit my friend, Mrs. Sogard, in M. She is aiwidow of forty, and is the mo ther of a certain Miss Segard, familiarly called Clara. I knew that Mrs. Segard had tried to bring about a marriage between Clara and myself, and I believe I was not much opposed to- the match. Clara was a good girl, everybody said; a very pretty brunette, with flashing black hair and eyes, but her form was short, thick and dowdyish. I admire a handsome form quite as much as a handsome face. I might have married her-I really think I should, but for a little affair that happened at U. The morning I started for M, Bowers accompanied me to the depot. While I was buying my ticket, I noticed another gentle man come into the waiting'-roomn. My first thought was t hat it was my shadow that I saw before me. Ho was about my height, had a light complexion like mine, and eyes of grizzly-gray, and one of them turned in just like mine. He had on a tall silk hat, tipped Son one side of his sandy locks, and so did I; and furthermore, he car r ried in his band a carpet bag, with r a tag marked 'J. McD.' tied to the I 5Vap~.So dd I I looked at him and be returned the compliment. 'I say, sir,' said the stranger. looking dowi at the carpet bag I held, and examining the tag, 'are you John AeDougal or am I ?' 'My name is McDougal. I hope you are an honest man, for, you see, if you should happen to rob a bank, forge a nuote, pick a pocket or cut somebody's jugular, I might have to suffer, perhaps swing for it. I can give you reference as to my character,' I answered. 'Yes, th-it's very good. But, Mr. McDougal, which way are you going to go ?' 'Dowu. I have just bought my ticket.' 'Then I'm going up. I don't think we'd best travel together. There's the train starting now. Good-bye, Mr. McDougal. I wish you success, and for my sake don't spoil your character.' To get to M., which, by the way, is a rather out-of-the way place, a small, one horse town, with one tavern, two churches and a poor house, I had to leave the cars at T., and then take a private, conveyance to M., five miles distant. I could have gone by the stage, but that leaves U. once a day at five o'clock in the morning. So when the ears stopped at U I took my carpet bag in my hand, and got out upon the platform. There was quite a large number of people at the station, but I took no notice oi any of them except a tall, brawny man, in a brown overcoat and slouched bat, who started for me as soon as I stepped off the cars. I was about to move away when slouched hat laid his hand heavily on my shoulder. 'You are a villain 1' 'Sir !' 'I repeat it. You're villain 'A miserable scamp,' said a cor pulent gentleman, coming forward and scowling fiercely. 'Now, I felt that II was a match for the latter, but as to the other one, I did not doubt but he might work me up into shoestrings in less than three minutes. 'Will you please explain your selves, gentlemen,' I asked, try ing to smile. 'Yes, I will,' answered the big one, putting great stress on the 'will.' 'Certainly,' growled the corpu lent gentleman with a smile. 'Come this way, you rascal,' said the tall one, drawing me along with him. His companion followed us out back of the station, where we were out of ight and hearing of the rest of U. 'Now,' said the tall gentleman, turning and confronting me, 'I'll introduce myself. I am Captain Augustus Boynton. This gentle man is my father, John Boynton. Do you know us now ?' 'Well, really,' I :-eplied, wvonder ing in my own mind what the deuce was coming, treally I don't know anything more about you than what you've just told.' 'Hush !' said the captain, and he bent down and hissed in my ear: '1 am Carrie Boyn ton 's brother.' "And I am her father,' growled John Boynton. 'Ah, really, do you say so ?' I could not help smiling, the whole affair seemed so ludicrous. 'Give my regards to Carrie.' 'Ha! you laugh at us, do you, villain ?' cried thbe captain. 'Look 'ere,' said he lowering his voice to a hor rid whisper ; 'look at these.' I did look, for just then he drew from the pocket of his brown overcoat a handsome case, and, opening it, displayed a pair of splendid silver-mounted duel ling pistols. 'Take y our chboice.' A cold tremor.ran through my frame. Was I to be murdered ? 'Choose quick,' urged the cap tan. 'Sir,' said I, in a t.remulous voice, while the cold drops of per spiration stood out on my brow 'there must be some mistake. I'm bookkeeper for Brown & Co. dealers in hides and tallow. My father was Yorton McDougal, my mother was Mary McDougal, my 'Confound yonr grandfather. Either marry my sister, as you promised to do a month ago, or take one of these pistols and-' 'O, help !' 'Dry up, you whelp !' and the captain chipped his hand over my mouth. 'Choose,' said the captain, giv. iug me a kick with his boot. 'I'll mar-marry her.' 'All right.' And the captain smiled grimly as he returned the pistol to the case. The elder Mr. Boynton went after the carriage, but before I had ceased to tremble he re turned. The captain helped we in. and. then seated between the chivalric fauther =nd son, I rode away. There were plenty of people on the street, but I was warned not to sbout, if I knew wbat was healthy for me. We rode at a smart trot fbr about two miles, I should think, and then the captain drew rei n before a large, two-story white house, that stood near the road, surrounded by a high white fence There was a gravel walk up to the front door, and everal large cherry trees stood in the front yard. 'Here we are,' said the captain, getting down, and 'motioning me to follow. The door opened just as we reached it, and who should fall in to my arms but the identical young lady who bad made such an impression upon my heart the night of the lecture in W. 'Oh. John! 1 knew you would be true,' she cried ; and the cap tain snickered as he led the way into the parlor. But once there I succeeded in convincing Miss Boynton that I was not McDougal. Her father apologized, so did the captain, and the upshot of it all was that I consented to stop over night with them, and I am h appy to state that I passed a very pleasan t even ing indeed. 'I learned, too, that this J. Mc Dougal, for whom I had been taken, aas a gentleman of wealth and leisure, with only one fault, and that was promising to marry every pretty woman be became acquainted with. Then I told my story, anel both Mr. Boynton and the captain seemed pleased, and so did Carrie, especially when I offered to stand in McDougal's shoes. And-well, my dear read er, I did about a month after wards. We bad a great wedding, and Clara Segard was one of the' bridesmaids, and Henry Bower was groomsman. And I am well satisfied that McDougal took the up train instead of the down. LEAVE OF ABsENCE.-On Mon day morning (says a Paris cor respondent) a clerk applied to his superior for permission to be ab sent forty-eight hours on some family affairs and received an affirmative answer. However, he did not appear during the whole of the week, and no one knew to Nhat cause to attribute his ab sence. On the following Monday morning he re-appeared at the regular hour. 'Well, monsieur,' demanded his superior, 'why have you stayed away all the week ?' 'You, sir,' replied the clerk, 'gave ime permission.' '1 gave you leave for forty-eight hours only, and not for six days.' '1 beg your pardon, sir,' an swered the young man, '1 have only taken the exact time which you granted me. We work here eight hours a day, and six times eight are forty-eight. I certainly had no occasion to ask your per mission for the night, any more than for the hours which 1 do not owe to the administration.' *This was logical ; but since that day the chief specifies by admin istrative hours the duration of the leave he grants.

FOR THE HERALD. SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. ---- { Late investigations of German scientists have shown that the elec tric light is not only healthier than other methods of illumination in leav ing the air purer, but that it increases t the power of vision in some respects es pecially in distinguishing colors. Red, blue, green and yellow are much 1 wore distinct under this light than by daylight. Two Leipsic chemists have devised t a process for obtaining sugar in a per mannently liquid form. This result is ti said to be effected by adding to a pur- 1 rified sugar solution a small quantity J of citric acid, which combines with ] the sugar arid deprives it of its ten dency to crystalize. Some experiments by M. Gautier appear to prove that human saliva i possesses, in a milder degree, the same poisonous property as that of I serpents. The human saliva injected ] under the skiu of a bird caused death, with symptoms very closely resein bling those resulting from serpent b1tPS. < new theory of the so-called faa. t cination of birds by snakes is that 1 the bird mistakes the snake's tongue. t which the reptile keeps in rapid and t constant motion, for a lively wormu, and watches it intently with the an. ticipation of devouring it. M. Pasteur has resolved to extend his studies in vaccination to yellow fever, with a view of determining whether or not the disease is due to parasites and can be guarded against by iaoculation. A broad field of in vestigation is open to Pasteur, as it is suggested by his discoveries thus far t that all contagious maladies may be ( due to parasitic growths the virulence of which may be so reduced by his method of inoculation as to render this class of diseases no longer a mat. ter of dread. A Neapolitan gardener, after years of experiment, has produced a camielia with a delicate perfume, and he thinks it probable that these flowers may. in the near future be so culti vated as ite rival the rose in the fra grance of its odor. Mr. C. Shaler Smith has given the results of extensive obervations in re lation to the pressure exerted by the wind. The most violent gale re i corded by him was at East St. Louis, in 1871, when the wind over turned a locomotive, the force devel oped in so doing being no less than 93 pounds per square foot. At St. Charles a jail was destroyed in 1877, the pressure required being 84 pounds per square foct. At Marshfield, in hI880, a brick mansion was leveled, the force necessary being 58 -pounds per square foot. Below these extraordinary pressures, Mr. Smith instances numerous eases of trains blown off rails, and bridges, etc., blown down by gales of 24 to 31 pounds pe. square foot. In all the examples the lowest force required to do the observed damage has been taken as the maximum power of the wind, although, of course, it may have been higher. Enthusiasts who make a special sudy of sun-spots and attendant phe nomena believe that the corner-stoPe of a new science is being laid by dis coveries pointing to an intimate con nection between solar and terrestrial meteorology. Juat what the connec tion is they are not yet able to clearly define, although electricity is sus pected of' being the agent through which the effects are manifested upon our planet. It is known that the gaseous envelope of the sun is affected by eruptions of such prodigious mag nitude as to be utterly beyond our' power of conception, these disturb ances appearing to us in the form of, rapidly changing spots and protuber anes. The eras of the spots-or sun-storms-occur at remarkably reg ular intervals, a complete cycle of the various stages of activity from maxi mum to minimumu and again to miax imum being performed in about eleven years-the so-called 'sun-spot period.' Tne sun-spot physicists clajim a coincidence of the periods of maxi mum spots and years of great at mospheric and physical disturbance1 in the earth. The present has been a year of great solar disturbances, while it has been marked upon our globe. Further than this, by ilent sorms and earthqnakes the ADVERTISINGi RATES.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS.--In Sbaks eare's time carols were sung in the treets at night during Christmas by he waits, or watches, who expected o receive gifts for their singing. Gu1ay a writer of old times and cus--~ ows refers to the 'wakeful ketches of .;hristmas Eve.' It was after the teformation that they ceased to sing .dtin hymns in the churches, and ubstituted the sweet Christmascarols. ?'or there were two kiids of carols in rogue-those of a devotional natur , vbich were sung not only in the ~hurohes, but also through the streets rom house to house upon Christmas
