ASTRONOMICAL. What a vast and noble fluid for study does the firmament ailbrd! ilow many great minJs have devoted themselves to the V^ork of unfolding the wonderful mysteries of the starry dome! How much has been discovered of its sccrels, and how much will forever remain unrovealed ! A writer in Chambers' Magazine upon the subject of the heavenly bodies says that the nearest star of all the twinkling tluck, is at least two hundred thousand times farther from the .1. .1? .1. . ..1 I....... ViWUl Lllctll IIIC Ollll, <UIU H1U H^Ub'Vcniiig which come lo us from the sun iu eight minutes an J u quarter, must occupy throe years and a quarter before they reach us fiom the nearest star. But the nearest star is only cu the inner confines of the vast siar galaxy. Sir Isaac Newton convinced himself that the most remote stars iu tho milky way, visible through his telescope, wore at least seven hundred and fifty times as far as the nearest ones.? So that they twinkle in a region so remolo that even the rays of light which flash from them cannot reach the earth in a less period than two thousand six hundred and twenty, five years. The astronomers of the present day actually see through their glasses the stars of nearly three thousand years ago? just as they were in they early glories of Jernoalain tiinl llnnui Sir "William llerschel discovered specks of liglit in the far heavens, which he conjectured to 1?j groups of stars so distant that light-beams from them, could only reach the earth, after a passage of a in" years. The recent discoveries of Lord lioss, by means of his still more gigantic instrument, bIiow that these faint specks are glorious masses of stars, clustering around each other as thickly as bees around their queen.? And still farther off, upon the new horizon of the telescope, may be seen fresh, faint specks of starless light as irresolvable to its DOWers H3 tllC old onus w(>rw Imforn Tn flio A - ? ' " " "" *" """" opinion of Huron Humboldt, some of tlieso specks reveal themselves to the observer by means of ligbt-bcams, which started from them millions of years ago !?Olive Branch. HAMES OF THE DAYSOF THE WEEK. Is it not strange that Christians should have been found in the universal use of names of days of the week, first employed in honor, of pagan deities?as the following interesting items of history show : In the Museum of Berlin, remarks a writer in a Newark cotemporary, in the hall devoted to northern antiquities* they have the representation of the idols from which the names of the days of our week are derived. From the idol of the Sun comes Sunday. This idol is represented with his face like the sun, holding a burning wheel, both hands on his breast, signifying his course around the world. The .1.. \t e? i > iuui ui wii .uuuu, uuiii which comes Monday, is inhabited in a short coat, like a roan, but holding the Moon in bis bauds. Tuisco, from which cometb Tuesday, was one of the most ancient and popular gods of tbe Germans, and is represented in bis garment of skin, according to tbeir peculiar manner of clothing. Tbe tbird day of tbe week, dedicated to bis worship?Woden? ! from wjience Wednesday, who was a valiant prince among the Saxons. His imago was prayed to.-^ur victory. Tbor, from whence Thursday, is reatcd on a bed with twelve stars overhead, holding a hammer in his right hand. Friga, from whence wo have Friday, represented with a drawn sword in his right hand, and a bow in his left, lie was the giver of peace and plenty. Scaler, from whom is Saturday, has the appearance of perfect wretchedness; ho is thin-visaged, long-haired, with a long beard, lie carries , . a pail of water in his right band, wherein are fruits and flowers. Pint Sloctc.. ? Among the treasures which Mr. Troye, the artist, brought from liis recent explorations in Oriental countries, is a veritaCle Arab marc. The animal, which was purchased for a stock importing company in Kentucky, is now in this city. Sb<?" is a long, well-knit, shapely crenture, of a greyish color, about the average size, with'^ery large and muscular thighs, and a marvelous elasticity in every movement.? Her value is estimated at ,$10,000. This is the second mare of the Desert which has been brought lo this country. The first, also imported by this Kentucky company, cafttd' id by way of New Orleans. An e*tfavagantly fond of such animals. lie -would almost as soon think of selling lib oWn child as the fleet and patient beast which hafe been reared in his own tent, is bis tireless companion in Desert journeys, am! his moot productive source of income. * Tbe test stock in tho world came from Arabia, and the importation of original Arab mare* to tbie country cannot fail to improve the XmtfHcAn btjtod of horses.?Jour. Com. Commercial Failures.?The number of failnres in tbe United States in 1856 vros 2,705. The average liabilities is estimated at $20,000, which''would give an aggrogate of $54,100(000.
