Robert Oollyer delivered an ad dress to the students of an Eastern col lege, in the course of which he remarked that ho had worked on a farm, carried a hod, shod horses, broken stone on a turnpike, had reaped and cradled grain, dug a well, cut wood, and had preached sermons that nobody wonted to hear. His wonderful success hod been achieved by pure grit and honest industry. You must dig down to “ hard pan,” lie said, a foundation to fame and fortune. The reverend gentleman seemed to have drawn the most of his inspiration from Poor Richard's almanac. His apicu- latod aphorisms may be grou}ied as fol lows : Any kind of an honest job is better than no job at oil. Take a dollar a day for your work if you can get no more. _ A man's best friends are his ten An- When evil days come, as evil days will, uduiau deserves the title of gentle man if ho does not take honest work to Jo, regardless of social influences. When oountnr boys come to the city, tf they can hold on to the old sweet ways, they can defy the world. Keep your grip on the hard pan of principle and good conduct, and you will be men of good name and good fort- ono. When a boy fills a house with hugs ho ifl all right, pro vided he don’t run after hmabuga. He has the making in him of a great naturalist. A good farmer ir better than a poor doctor, and a good Jiorseshoer is 1 letter than a Bishop who preaches sermons that nobody wants to hear. A good day’s work of what yon can best do ia the hard pan to wnich all must come. Society says one thing and nature says another. Work is good medicine. Only those who make clean money •nd do dean things win success. The honest man who dies poor is ridi it he only holds his own. Sleep eight hours out of tlnfe twenty- tour, eat three meals a day, and walk on the sunny side of the way. Have a reserve force that will come Mt when you need it.

The London Lancet publishes the fol lowing: This being the season when game Killed by shot, and probably con- mlnipg the pellets, is eaten, it may be worth Alkie to caution those who eon- •nma the flesh of birds with avi lit; that the the 4th day ander Hamilton and Aaron Burr had met for the last time as public oharae- tars at the dinner ol the Cincinnati. The arrangements for the duel, which were of the most secret character, had then been fully made, but not one guest at the dinner would have suspected t heir existence. Eye-witnesses long afterward recalled the imperturbable face of Burr and the vivndty of Hamilton, who was in the choir, and over the walnuts and the wine song the ballad of “The Drum.” Eleven days later the antago nists met at Weehawken—the boautmc of which, as sung by Hallcek and Rob ert C. Sands, the local jxicta of the pe riod, have long been destroyed. The rocks on which the adversaries stood have liecn made into blocks of Weehaw- keu granite and jiove the streets of tlie metropolis. William P. Van Ness, who eight years afterward filled the office now filled by Judge Choate, was Burr’s second on that dark day, and Judge Nathaniel Pendleton, the grandfathoc of Senator Pendleton, was Hamilton's sec ond. Matthew L. Davis, “the spy at Washington," a journalist thought to lie closely connected with Burr, and. the famous Dr. Hosnck waited in a dell lio- low the dueling ground near the water's edge, where wonderingly sat the Ixint- men who had ferried the parties over. At twelve paces the rivals faced each other—Hamilton placed so that ho took his last look at the city. Burr fired as the lips bl Judge Pendleton closed on the word “ Present," and Hamilton was shot dead before he oould bring his pistol to a level. It is doubtful whether ho meant to fire atAll on the first exchange of shots, for when Judge Pendleton hail inquired “Shall I set the hair trigger?” his prin- cijial had meaningly said “Not this time. ” The wound was soon pronounced mortal by Dra. Hosack and Wright Post and oertnin consulting surgixins of emi nence whom Gon. Key, the French Con sul, summoned from three French frig ates which had anchored in the harlior. In thirty hours after the encounter Hamilton was dead. Possibly his death agonies, which the surgeons descrilied as acute, wore intensified by the re- mombrauoe that less than three years previously his eldest son, Philip^ had also Ixiou killed in a duel. By bis lied- side stood his fifth child, John Church Hamilton, who still lives at tho age of years. Among the otherehildreu hy the liedside wore Angelica, who died un married ; Alexander, Jr., who left no children; James Alexander, who mar ried Miss Mary Morris, and died at Dobb’s Ferry two or three years ago, leaving four daughters and one sou. Alexander, a distinguished lawyer; William Stephan, who died a bachelor in California : Eliza, who became Mrs. Augustus Holly, and Philip, tho young est, who married tho daughter of Louis McLuno, and whose son, Dr. Allan Me- Liuio Hamilton, is a well-known phys ician in this city.

Down many of these valleys pour shining streams; and, although we can not hear their brawling noise, they sends rays through the mists of their miniature cataracts, and gives the voice in color instead of sound.

A statistician, Who claims to havs made accurate calculation, declares that the pine forests of Michigan will be ex hausted in thirteen yean, and those of Wisconsin and Minneaota in thirty or forty yean.

If we wish for some substance which will catch fire from the smallest spark, we fiud that among thousands of Ixidiea, simple and compound, that exist in nature or are produced by art, the most suitable for our purpose is pure carbon in the form ot tinder. On the other hand,-when we want a crucible that will lieor without taking fire the flame of the hottest furnace, we make it of pure car bon in the form of plumbago. ' The wax mold of tho electroplater is a non-conductor of electricity, apd it is, therefore, necessary to cover its surface with some good conducting material; it is found that tlie Best material is finely- pulvermxl plumbago; blit this sftme'euw ment, when crystallized, os in tho dia mond, is tho most perfect of all non conductors. - Carbon, in one state, is as soft as lampblack, in another it is the^Very bardent substance known; in one it is brilliantly transparent, in another it is perfectly opaque ; in one it is the most costly ornament in theacrowns of Kiqgs, in another it is shoveled out of the way as worthless. In all these changes in the condition and properties of carbon no law can lie discovered, with the ^single exception that the temperature at which various kinds of charcoal will take fire are in fixed relation to the temperature at which tho several kinds are prepared.
