Upon the reading of paragraph 475 in relation to velvets, plushes, including ribbons, Senator Vest, (Democrat) was desirous to know whether that was an item in- volved in the suit between John Wanamaker and the government. He said Wanamaker’s contention was that ribbons came in under the class in regard to trimmings for See y cas apt pa Pe SLE oa bonnets, which paid a less duty. He saw by the paper that the suits had been decided in favorof Wanamaker, and that an appeal had been taken to the Supreme Court. He to a plane _ scarcely second to that of A. T. Stewart. The only thing he ever did that people in general know of, out side of the his merchant way traffic, which embraces about by every commodity in the domain of trade, was that very common indiscretion of the much of the the close attention to just such small points as these, that the grandest dis- ing glasses, or simple microscopes, are ” made in many forms; but all depending coveries upon the principle here explained. Take have been brought about. cumstances, ishment in one of the popular churches of the pew system. The writer,altogether unhappy over the occurence, pours out the following pitiful story: We had a full church; we were a working church; we had our missions and our schools, our associations and our clubs, and did not mean to spare either time or money where we found the need of it. And, is it not after all very as to one. well warmed and lighted and ventilated,’ which was important, that we might keep our wits about us and get the full benefit of the services. But, the sad writer goes on, just when we were in full tide, our minister one day, in an excess otf zeal, insisted that the church should be free. . a One com fort had been under the old dispensation, that we knew our places and that families could be together. Now my wife came in with the younger children, and found—a place somewhere. Those who had been in Sunday-school apeared, and atter’ looking about them bestowed themselves in another place, while I, rather late from my ibie-class, took my solitary way to a vacant seat. Nor did it add to my peace of mind to see the boys more than usually lively and restless, and beyond the reach of eye or voice. We did meet at the door and go home together, and if we didn't say much we thought the Poor Susan had taken the meagre account. How did it end? By making us very nearly “a fortuitous concourse of atoms.” We were: not hospitable, for we had nothing to offer; one man was not only as goodas another,but a great deal better. Personally we were reminded of the Irishman who had fallen upon evil days, and who said “his children were scattered and his wife was scattered, and there of youth which brought him into the august presence of a minister was no home.” Some left us and and a betrothed at the persuasive went where they could be more more in the manner of a much private play-house or a “society” entertainment than a church of the Most High where lovers of righteousness assemble to partake of and disseminate the trutns and the inspirations -of our Lord and Savior? It certainly looks that way A congregation and a minister engaged in real, earnest christian work we should think would be delighted beyond expression to have their house of worship thronged with the blind and the poor in spirit searching for truth. We should think that an honest servant of Christ could enjoy no prouder momentthan that spent in unfolding the human and God-like teachings of true christianity to such a concourse of benighted souls. We should think that a congregation of sincere christfan workers would crave no fairer tes- timony of the fruits of their lab- ors than to behold Sabbath a new Sabbath after phalanx, obscure and strange, of earth’s ill-clad, illfed, ill-housed, ill-schooled, illmoraled outcasts pouring into their holy places to drink from the foun tain of spiritual life. “But no,” says ye alleged follower of Christ, “I. shall be -discommoded. That peaceful and happy communion with my family and friends, my social and “religious peers,” and above all, our agreeable minister whom my dollars have purchased will be interrupted by vulgar poverty and the odors of “fried potatoes and tobacco.” I wonder, my christian brethren, if that haven of perpetual delight you are ostensibly working for will afford that cherished exclusiveism in “spiritual communion” to which you are, addicting yourself with such unyielding pertinacity. ee a {Written for the Western Weekly.] PROF.

There seen.s then to be one certain distance at which objects can be most clearly seen, and within which or beyond which they are indistinct. This is called the “focal distance,’ and for the average eye is reckoned to be about ten inches, though the figure varies greatly according to age and other individual characteristics. Each person should strive to ascertain the proper focal distance of his own eye, and preserve the same in his reading and writing and such occupations as require a study and.a close sight. We can see no object in a state of absolute darkness; light is the medium by which visual impressions are conveyed to the eye. Light is supposed to travel in straight lines, passing in all directions from. every visible object, along paths called for convenience, rays:—luminous rays of the FIG: to pain so that we object gives light of itself, and reflected rays if the body is opaque. CCMPOUND 3. MICROSCOPE. In the compound microscope there is a combination of lenses; one set called | the “object-glass” at a; and another, the “eye-glass” at 6b. These are placed at the ends of a tube made to move by the action of arack at d. For convenience in adjusting, the whole instrument is placed on a stand, with a stage s arranged beneath the object-glass; and a mirror 0 placed below, so that it can be inclined at any angle required to reflect light through the,aperture seen in the centre of the stage, upon the object which is placed upon the stage. The object lens a forms an enlarged image of the object; and the eye lens b magnifies. this still more. Microscopes have been con- structed in this way, with powers amounting diameters. to - magnifying thousands’ of This wonderful instrument seems indeed to have made an addition to the senses of man. By its aid he recognizes symmetry smallest of the painted wing, and beauty in even the the Creator’s dust particles works. The dancing in the sunbeam, down upon the butterfly’s the pollen grains from the anther of a flower, the hair upon the leaf surface—all—all are beautiful and instructive. YISUAL ANGLE. The diagram (Fig 1.) represents the rays of light emanating from the extremities of an object placed before the eye. The. angle formed by these rays with the eye as the apex, is called the visual angle; and the apparent size of the object is dependent upon the dimensions of the visual angle.

Thus the eye (E) sees two objects (ab and cd); ab ap- Thore are 3,064 languages in the world, pears much larger than cd _ because, being nearer the eye, the visual angle in the case of ab isgreater than that of cd; and its inhabitants profess more than one thousand religions. The number of men is about equal to the number of women. though in reality, both objects are of the same size. The word “microscope” is derived any device by which the visual angle is enlarged, and the apparent size of an object increased.
