WEDNESDAY MORNING:, JANUARY 23,1S'J7. [ron THE NEWS.] THE: MISSING BELLS. We miss the bella, with their tones sublime, And the mellow notes of St. Michael's chime, For tho Sabbaths como aa they came of yore, But the Sabbath bella aro heard no more. A stillness rel<roB o'er the city now, And tho prayerful throngs in silence bow, "Whan tne holy light of tho Sabbath morn Is ushered in with a rosy dawn. . No music floats on tho passing gale, But the missing beUs tell a sad, sad talc For their strains were lost in the cannon'* roar. And the Sabbath bella are bells no more. Thev muttered loud, with a anioky br?: ''h. On the battle-field, 'mid the scenes of i^ath, The same soft boils that had sounded praise From the ateeplo tops, in our peaceful days. Oh ! soon may the solemn silence cease", And the belli re-echo tho notes of peace : May our hearts once mere with their music thrill. And beat responsivo to Love, and " Good Will." CACTUS. Taking tho Nineteentn Century Down a Peg. TheBev. Huon STOWELL BBOWN, of Liverpool, gave a lecture in Dumfries last month on "The Good Old Times." We extract the following pas? sage: Men did os wonderful intellectual feats 2000 and 8000 years ago as are dono in the present time. If it be true that man was only an improved gorilla, wo don't find that he allowed a greater resemblance to it then than now; for his own part, he believed there were more monkeys now than then, and pos? sibly the gorilla might not so much represent the race from which we sprang as the destiny to which we are hastening. Abraham he believed to be as thoroughbred ? gentleman as any in the nine? teenth century; Jacob as good a man of business as thev would" find on the liverpool Exchange; while Joseph was a statesman and Moses a legis? lator, worth a great deal more in their timo than all our Lords, CommonB and Town Councils put together. In our own country, in the 16th and 17th centu? ries, there were hundreds of men who, for brains and the use of them, wonld stund comparison ?with anv that adorned tins century. We had some splendid remains of architecture in this country, and we vainly attempted to equal the edifices of which thev are tho ruins. The very best WJ have are only bits taken from edifices erected hundreds of years ago. Our mechanical appliances for build? ing are tar superior co what couia have been known ? to the people of the olden times, but they reared up buildings that are the just aatOLisrnent of tue civilized world- and which we cannot equal. W may copy theni, bnt wo may copy a painting of an old master, but, till we - strike out something of our own as good as the Parthenon or Strasburg Cathedral, we must knock down to the old times. We flunk we do all things on a grund scale, and a Cockney will boast-that ibe largest th eat ein London will hold 4000 people; 30,000 would scarce? ly have filled the Colossienmof Borne. St. George's Hall, Liverpool, is justly regarded as a very mag? nificent building, but it "was only a reproduction of a very little bit of the Baths of Diocletian, which wore nearly a quarter of a mile square, the -whole structure being a very great d al larger than our Houses of Parliament. Some moderns said if the pcopb of the ancient times could rovisit the earth, they would be ven- much astonished. He had no doubt they wo-ld, but he would Be sorry if they die in aise they should only laugh at us. Possibly our great-fathers who lived in that stupidest of all centuries-the 18th-would be . astonished, bat not tho mon of 2000 yeirsngo. . u o thought we had made great progress in sani? tary science, but he behoved we wero at a disad? vantage compared with tho ancients. In Borne alone tl tero were 800 public baths, and it never liad more than halt the population of London. They had hot. cold and vapor baths,-and something like our Turkish bath, and, what was better still, the people constantly used them. We bous ted of our civil engineering, bnt it was questionable if it had advanced much since the time when the Bo mans built their aqueducts, which were carried over .alleys, supported on thousands of arches, or tunnelled for miles through the -solid rock, while tue greatest scientific skill was required to give the Bupply a proper grade. There was a great deal of talk about that won? derful triumph of genius, bringing the water of Loch Katrine to Glasgow, but the quantity of wat:* delivered to every inhabitant of Bomo'was ten times the water supply of London. Au abun? dant supply of wator was a special character stic of ancient cities. Wo often i ead of tho inhabit? ants of a besieged city suffering from hunger, but rarely, il ever, from thirst. And there was no overcrowding. Nineveh contained 6OO,0CO inhab? itants, hut the population of London was, for its area, five times as dense as that of Nineveh. The ancients did not allow the dead to bo buried within the walls of their cities-a practice only beginning to be abolished with us. in uoint of cleanliness, also, they were more careful than we are. He read theoUr?r day of some people taking cholera from wasbL'- the clothes of persons who had died of thatmoL.dy. According to the Mosaic law these clothes should have been buried. Moses wonld not allow people to live in houses that were un? healthy, but it was no use turning the people ont and allowing the house to stand; he kuew people would live in it if it remained, and so he said . ..Down with every stick and stone of it." In the matter of sewerage, the Romans were su? perior to us. The city was built on arches for the purpose of completo sewerage, and there yet re? mains a sewer in Borne so wide that a cart loaded with hay might pass through it. Excellent and well contrived d am s had been discovered in Nine? veh and other towns. The refuge of the cities was bumed in the open plains. Tho hand-looms of thirty-thousand years ago produced cloth of as flue a quality, in point of texture, color, and style, as we can produce, and the Hindoos, and some of the Africans, knew the process of manufacturing irdtl 'and steel, which led them to look with con? tempt, and to reject as rotten, tho Bpecimons of these metals which we sont them. In all these points the past oompared favorably with the pie: ent. No doubt the present had its achievements. It had the printing press and railroads, telegraphs, and extensive manufactories. He believed that its superiority consisted more in tho greater power of production, and in the wider diffusion of woalth ana knowledge than obtained in the past, rathol than in the intrinsic excellence, or beauty, or bril? liancy, or deptttof what it did or achieved. Ic ex celled, iu the ex.ont to which tt had investigated the laws and operations of nature, and applied them to the increase of human power over matter. Before, however, they boasted themselves too *Tnnoh of modern progress, they ought to inquire whether the progress made was comnionsurato with their opportunities. Ho very much doubted if thero wero auy. room for boasting. Looking at the wretchedness, profligacy, drunkenness, and general degradation, winch characterized our large cities, he could seo nothing worse in the davs of the past; and, instead of boasting, it behooved this age to confess with shame that it had advanced so little, and that in some things it had not advanced at all. it was said that the upper clisses did not drink now so much as they need to do, which might be trae, but he was afraid the great bulk of the people were quite as in temp?r?t o as ever thov were, if they ever were worse than they are now, which he ooold hardly imagine. Old and New Style. HOW THE ELEVEN DATS CASIE TO BE DROPPED. Many persons know that there is a difference of eleven day? between Old and New Style-that is, that what three hundred years ago would havo been tho Ast of Tanunry, is now the 12th-but how . this was bi ought about is not BO generally known, The following from the Cincinnati Cbroniir/tfaZwill explain tho matter : How it was managed before the Christian Era, to bring the year round to its proper beginning, and square tho diff?rence of time, is not clear. Probably they fixed upon a certain lunar revolution in connection with the seasons, and did not mind the fractions of hours and minutes that afflicted the astronomers about tho time of Julius Cosar. That imperial Boman decreed, on tho strength of computations made by an Alexandrian philosopher, that every fourth year should consist of 366 days, to make up for the odd hours of the other throe years, and by his arrangement the additional day wasoonferred on February, probablv because it had the fewest days of any month in tho year. But the calculation of tho Alexandrian was found to be at fault. A day every fourth year wat too much by. eleven min?tes, ten seconds, and three-tenths of a second-a small matter, you may think, but of considerable account in the long run. The natural time fell behind the reckoning, ar.d how mach the differenco amounted to after the lapse of centimes is shown bv a single fact. From the time of the Council of Nico, in 325, when the venial equinox fell on the 21st of March, Pope Gregory, m 1582: discovered that tho over-reckon? ing, according to thc Julian arrangement, amoimted to ten days, and brought the vernal oquiuox ou the 11th of March. And so the error-had to be corrected to harmonize dates with the equinox. The Pope decreed that the 5th of October that year should be reckoned as the 15ih, and to keep the year " O K" for tho future (the surplus, beiug eighteen hours, thirty-seven minutes und ten seconds hi a century) every centennial year that could not be divided by four should not bo bissex? tile, thus dropping tho extra day threo times'evory sally accepted. But tho Protestants in those davs had as strong prejudices against the Boman Pontiff as they have now, and did not take his suggestion kindly. What business had the Pope to ineddlo with the year anv how ? But the regulation wai founded upon sound as? tronomical calculations, and is now prevalent in all civilized countries except Russia. Great Brit? ain, however, did not adopt it till 1752, and still re? tains the old style in the accounts of hor Majestv's Treasury. Tn 1752 the difference in reckoning which Pop, Gregory had discovered amounted to eleven days, and so an act of Parliament wan pass? ed by virtue of which the 3d of September of that year was reckoned as tho 14th. It isoutof+hoso changes in reckoning that what are called theN -w Style and tho Old Style have ari6on-a difference that we still have to observe if wo have correspon dence at St. Petersburg, or dealings with tho Treasury of Great Britain. It is, however, a satisfactory reflection that the years are now so arranged that no further changes will bo necessary for thousands of years io come. The 1st of January of each year will find the sun and stars in their phecs and ''on time" with so trivial a variation that the reckoning will not havo to be changed for a period so distant that we need not bother our heads no moro about it than about the theory of the French savan, who assumes that the tiu-6 "wi 1 come when tho moon will fall into the ea th, the earth into the sun, and finally all tho Btellar universo into one compact globe of mat? ter, leaving space literally void and darkness. ? These years, whose duration is calculated to the fraction of a second, go fast enough with the most of us, and bring with them all tho issues of life and death. Each one brings us nearer to the silent land, from whoso mysterious shores neither tho yoiee of warning, nor entreaty, nor love, nor affec 00 Pa mi Ul th. ed ge an fifi lid inf of I rec thc dis anc tro pos pro adv po J: apr. ?\ mat Wh, law is ii savs Ai tath doit tho sehe not uegi whil Mi Indi ago, take chip: was : road ingv and i motu mont sick ( aboul tion comea back to us.

"If it ho now, 'tis not to como; if it be not to como, it will be now;i! it bo not now, yet it will como; tho readiness is all." Horrible Discovery in Auburn. That staid and respectable journal tho Auburn Advertiser says 4. gentleman from tho Wost was recently married lil this citv, and retired to rest iii the bridal cham? ber of ibo Blancquo Hotel in company with his blooming ?ride, whoso rosy cheeks, surpassing thc rich gloom of Pomona's choices;*rdhant eyes vicing in sparkle with thc diamond's lustre; teeth excelling tho Orient pearl; lips of cherry plump? ness and color; trim-built limbs eclipsing tbe statuesque proportions of sculptured marble; flow? ing tresses of moro than Hyperion luxuriance and g.ocsiuess of texture; iii short-whose every grace, combiucd with full-chestod healthfulness.and fasci uatiug appearance generally, had won him rapidly at the previous oveniug's ball, to tho subsequent ealliu" in of a clergyman, and the investment of a ?10 greenback in matrimony. An alarm of tire with? in the hotel aroused tho sleeping bridegroom in the small hours of tho morning, and without dis? turbing Iiis fair partner, ho bounced out to the hall and found the alarm to bo a false one. Re? turning to his chamber ho turned on tho gas, when-horrible to rehtto--ho discovered, as he supposed, tho mortifying fact that he had mista? ken th J room. Too much bewildered to collect his disturbed faculties, his eyes mechanically took ina heterogeneous display of horrors promiscuously strewn about the apartment, in chairs, on tables and the floor, and susp'ondod to tho bod posts, which caused him to suspect ho had onterod tho don of some practical anatomist: for upon the bcd, clearly defined by tho light of tho now blazing gas, lav tho shape of an ahno3t fleshless skeleton, with bare skull and only ono dull, browless, lash less eye; toothless, pale-lip >od mouth; wrinkled brow and sunken cheek; shrunken limbs and con? sumptive thorax. About the premises lay fragments of humauitv, to all appearance-here au eye, freed from its soc*ket, brit glassy and sparkling; there a ?Tinning row of snow-white teeth, detached from the jaws, but with the gums still adhering; a mass of human hair, just as it might have boen scalped from tho scull; two fragments of human limbs con? stituting what appeared to be the fleshy part; or ?calf of the leg; also what seemod to be a female bust, or chest, still moving as in the act of respiration; whilo near by were the inner portions (apparently artificial) of two human cheeks; a sauctr of rouge, sevon bottles of cos? metics, hair dyes, noan powder, a stay lace in six fragmcii's, a box bearing the label "patent false calvos," another Lbelled "plumpers for the hecks," still another marked "heavers," a sot of "patent oyebrows and lashes," were grouped about, and added to the light which was slowly breaking over tho mystified bridegroom, who, upon finally approaching the bed, succeeded in tracing amid the bones and parchment there ex cendod what was loft (after substracting tho machinery) ' f his lately blooming bride. Crowd? ing the wir.J J lot of traps and bones into a satchel, he rushed i. a coroner aud delivered up tho de'rris, I not even waiting to attend tho inqnost. The next train West boro the horrified widower to his home, where he is now living under vows of eternal j celibacy. ' .,._ BLATBIMONY AS A MATTES OF MONE?-ur IT ALT. In Genoa there aro regular marriage brokers, who have memorandum books filled with the names of tho marriageable girls of tho different classes, with notes ot their figures, personal attractions, fortunes and other circumstances. Thoso brokers go a :out endeavoring to make arrangements in the same oft-hand, mercantile manucr which they would bring to bear upon a business transaction; and when they succeed, they get a commission of two or three per cent, upon the portion, with euch extras or bonuses as may be voluntarily bestowed by the party. Marriage at Genoa is thus often simply a matter of business calculation, generally settled by tho parents or relations, who draw up the contract before the parties have seen ono an? other; and it is only when everything else is ar? ranged, and a few days previous to the marriage ceremony, that the futuro husband is introduced to his partier far life. Should he find fault with her manners or appearance, he may annul the con? tract, on condition of defraying the brokerage and any other oxpensos incurrea. FDENITUBE FASHIONS IN I'ABIS.-Tho Paris corres? pondent of the Queen says: "The newest fashion m Paris, where even the fashion of furniture changes completely every two or three years, is to have dining-room chairs no longer covered with morocco or moleskin, but with dark cloth, the walls equally hung with dark-colored velvet paper, or cloth, and relieved by candelabras, behind which are attached plates of metal or of glass, tho wholo being highly 'becoming,' os the well-informed and well-spoken dealer tola me. to ladies in full dress, whoso brilliancy thu contrasting dark shades s i off. S"me houses confine their manufacture on tire ly to certain periods; so at a certain-dealer's, who* had some magnificent specimens of Louis XIII, furniture .(imitated), I was* told that he never designed or worked later than the Louis IV, stylo, and there much of the carving was in syca more wood, though not of so fine a grain, and not quito so expensive. It is impossible to give mod erato-minded English persons an idea of the ex? tent and universal spread of extravagance in the way of furniture in this country." THE "FATAL HOUB."-At a ball recently given in Paris, all who had a taste for intellectual fun were invited to a social tea drinking at eleven in the private apa.tmonts, and these who did so wero to join in a game invented by tho Empress herself. No jewels and no ornaments were allowed to remain in the hair ; state was to be forgotten. Whon tea was over tho names of all prcseut, written on small squares, woro thrown in a bag, from which, sac a malice, tho youngest lady prcsont drew forth a name. Tho person answer? ing to tho name on tho square waa tho unfortunate victim, who had to tell a story that was to last, watch in hand, ono long hour, and nothing was to bo related that over had been printed. Many call that ''the fatal hour." The faces of anger and terror, when the bag is opened and tho hand dipped in, aro always most dramatic and expres? sive. A KINO IN HIS OLD AOET--When a young lion reaches the ago of two years ho is able to strangle or pull down a horso or an ox ; and BO ho contin? ues to grow and increase hi strength till ho roach OH his eighth year, and his talons, teeth, and mind are perfect, and ho grows no more. For twenty years aftor bo arrives at maturity, his fangs and talons show no signs of decay ; but after that ho gradually becomes feeble, his teeth fail him, and ho grows "cubbish." Ho is no longer a match for tho tremendous buffalo ; ho is ovormatched oven by tho peaceful ox, so ho prowls around the cattle kraals, and snatches a lamb or a kid, just us he did when ho set out with his parents nearly thirty years before. A woman or a child ut night shares the same fate. His strength and sight now do cline more and more, till the mighty hon grows lean and mangy, and crawls about from place to pince eating any offal he can pick up, and despising not oven so small an animal aa tho fiold-mouse ; so ho staivoB and dies, or is fallon on and slaughtered by a fow cowardly hyenas, or discovered unable to move beneath a tree, and knocked on the hoad by some wandering hunter.

The New York Herald, of Saturday, the 19tb inst. ? says : Tho gold market has boen excited to-day, and after opening at 137%, it advanced to 137%, from which point thoro was a steady decline to 136%- the closing quota? tion on tho street The borrowing demand was activo, -nd loans wore made without interest and as high as l-32d per cent per diem in favor of thc lender. Tho general impression ia that the premium will continue to advance, in view of tho Impeachment of the President tho commercial indebtedness of tho country to Europe, and the contingencies arising from tho fact of six hun? dred millions of American BOcurities being held there. The great chees upon thc advancing tendency of thc market st present ls the tact of the Treasury holding about seventy millions of gold, exclusive of certificates of deposit Should tho Govornment be unwise enough to reduce its reserve, tho speculators will bo the gainers, and th" premium will rise all thc higher, in the present condi? tion ot affairs, becauso nf such sales, If gold is to be sold, however, it is better that it should bo done public? ly than secretly, and therefore thc bill authorizing its public salo, now before tho Committee on Ways and Means, should be passod in preference to allowing the Secretary of tho Treasury, as at present to exert a dis? cretionary power in the matter. But it would be still better for Congress to legislate in favor of tho Govern? ment retaining ad its gold up to two hundred minions, the moral effect of tho balance in tho Treasury being greater than double the amount olsowhore.
