VOLUME VI.—Wo 39. f I wiaia v*. at* business Carte. business Carte. SHOUT, FREMAlf, SHOUT I way, how the tree* of a forest apparently whirl around each other—an appearance produced by the rapid speed of the carriage ? Thia incident, familiar aa it it, may serve to raise habitually in the mind the notion of the parallax of the fixed stars. Parallax i» the apparent change in the place of an olyect, occasioned by the real change in the place of the spectator. Since the parallatic motion of the forest trees becomes letts and less pcrceptiblo as the velocity of tho travelling beholder diminishes, or as the distance of the seemingly moving object becomes greater, it is evident that to measure the distance of the fixed stars is equivalent to determining the amount of tho parallatic change in their relative positions, occasioned by the actual change in the relative positions trom which tbev may be viowed by a spectator on the earth s surface. The spectator will, on the prompting of this remarkable suggestion, probably remember that whon tho orbitual motion of the earth was first propounded Copcrnicus, and it was asserted to revolve in an ellipse of nearly six hundred million milos in circumference, and with a motion so swift that it passed over no less than sixty-eight thousand miles in every hour of tqpe, the opponents of the great philosopher exclaimed, that this doctrine could n.)t be true j " for," said they, " if we are I sweeping around the sun in this vast orbit, j and witii this amazing velocity, then ought D the fixed stars to whirl round each other, as ' do the forest trees to the traveller Hying ' | swif.ly by them." To the unassisted eye thlC i which was the case in tact, did not appear; i aud the Ooporniuans were without a-satislacj tory reply. They could only venture a sug| goation that, owing perhaps to the enormous distance of the fixed stars, no perceptible I change was operated by the revolution of the earth in its orbit; in other words, that the pole of the heavens revolved in a curve of two nundrod million miles in diameter, but that such was the distimce of the spheres of the fixed stars, that this curve was reduced to an invisible point. Alter a contest of three hundred years' duration, the truth uttered by Corperuicus, but not sufficiently illustrated, is at length indisputably established. Sometimes things of a grosser sort will serve to mate those of a finer quality not only ni iro appreciable, but ntote intelligible.— Questions in regard to the subtle essence, Light, are difficult because of their fineness; but it has been found possible to make them clear by resembling the subjects they regard to tungiblo objects, such as gun-boats, nuil nlie-bails, and gun Larrels. One of tho last ntuned articles Is supposed to be placed on a moving boat, and it is proposed so to direct a rille ou shore as to iiro a ball down the SBid buriel. Now, 1st the two rifles be on the sumo exact level, and the axes of the barrels be made precisely to coincide—wotjjd the bpll ; trim tho ono pass down the other,'in case the | fixed one were fired at the exact instant the i muzzles came precisely opposi'.o to each oth- j cr? The uuinsiructed would be apt to answer j yes j not because the scientific reply confi- ! dently, No. It is neccssary that the fixed 1 rifle should be fixed Jjafuru the wmig one ; wines opposite, aud the rifleman must make an allowance fur the timo the ball requires to move from tlx* one gun to the other, and also for the velocity with which the moving piece is descending the stream. In i r ler that the bill from the shore may be csiu e I to enter the muzzle of the moving rifle, this computation must be accurately made. But further conditions have also to be considered. For instance, it joust be recollected that while the ball is progressing down the barrel, the barrel itself is progredsing down tho tide, and t at, in orifer to avoid the pressure of the ball ag linst the up[«r side of the barrel, the latter must be fixed in an inclined position, and tliat the bottom of the barrel must be as far up the stream as it will descend by the boat's motion duriag the progress of the ball down the barrel; iu fine, that the direction in which the barrel of the rifle which should reoeive the ball must be placed is determined both bv the velocity of the hall, and the velocity of the boat which bears the rifle. upon oanvass, is an apt illustration of youth, and though it may be concealed by after design ■till the original trait* will shine through the picture giving it tone while fresh, and surviving it in decay.

Dorr's Drag Store, Main St., I htvl taken passage on the steamer J. W. Chenoworth from New Orleans to Cincinnati, at tin; same time that Booth did, though at that time unknown to me except by reputation. We had been one day out from New Orleans, when I noticed a man walking back and forth in the saloon, with hia hands behind him, his head bowed in deep thought— I sat observing him closely, trying to recollect when and where I had soen him, for that I had certainly seen that man I was fallj convinced. A gentleman came up to me and remarked, "that is the tragodian Booth." I then remembered having seen him in his last ply at the St. Charles Theatre, New Orleans. The second day out he was absent from the saloon, and, on inquiry, 1 found thftt he was confined to his state-room very ajck of a diarrhoea. Well knowing the careless regard strangers have on those boats for one (hat is ■ick, I visited his room apologizing for my intrusion, and offered my services to hint in any manner that might be useful. After •canning me with a look of penetration that I can never forget, ho aocepted the offer. On examining his room I fouud he had boen neglected, 1 immediately called the porter, had the room cleaned out, clean linen put on him and on tho bed; ordered aomo gruel made for him, as he whs too weak for stronger nourishment; but there wps no moJioal attendant at hand, and be wasted away very fast. The third day after he was token ho could not turn over without help, I saw that he was getting in a hopeless condition, and thinking to stimulate hit. energies, gave him some brandy and w«r ter, having to saturate a rag and place it between his toeth, his jaws having become rigid; but ira touting it be made an effort to remove it from his lipe, and spoke with difficulty "no more in this world." I saw that he had no hopes of Jiving) and felt anxious in regard to his hope for toe future, but being a' young man and an entiro stranger, I felt it to be a very delicate situation for one of my inexperience ; but with a mental prayer that I wo'd be sustained, I commenced by asking him if he had a wife - hn answered, with a look of ast »ii» sunt, and an emphatic "certainly 1 bare 1 then aakftd if he had any mexsage to send to her, but I coul 1 not understand him, but ho seemed to say in hia look and features "Oh, that I could talk 1" But poor man, his power of utterance eras so impaired that he could scarcely utter a word distinctly. He attempted to tell me of hia travels in California, but I could understand nothing but that he hod suffered a great deal, and had been exposed very much. On the fourth day after he was taken, I asked him If I should read to him from my Testament; he seemed anxious that I should, when I selected an encouraging chapter, and read, while he gave the deepest attention. ( then asked if J might pray for him ; bis eves became dim with moisture, and he signified his consent, when I knelt by his hunk, and besought the Great Father of as all, before whom ho was so shortly to .appear, to receive him, though at this late hoar, for the sake of ifiin that died that sinners might trust in his mercy. He seemed very grateful, and attempted to put his arms around my neck, as I bent over him to smooth hi* pillow. But the fifth day about one o'clock he aied. 1 was with him all the morning till the bell rang for dinner, when he repeated the words several times, distinctly, "Prav. pw, pray," accompanied by a beseeching look., we were then below Louisville, Ky„ where, upon arriving, the captain procured a metallic coffin, and telegraphed to his wife in Baltimore to meet the corpse in Cincinnati, which she did, taking it to Baltimore for interment. But as I was aiek by watching on arriving at Cincin* nati, an 1 immediately left the boat I saw none of his friends, and on reoovering, went south, so that I have had no opportunity of making this known to them.

Among the highest truth in nature, is the now confessed universality of motion. The find etars are no longer hied in the ordinury sense and the belief of thousand* of jeiuw that they were absolutely iixod, in now pwrsd to have arisen from an illusion of the senses. All are now coaueded to lie moving Around each other with marvellous velocity; though, from the distance, the motion armors to u»to bo remarkably slow. The sua himself has his circuit of travel, measured by ages. In the words of a modern astronomer, " mutation and change nro every where found ; all is in motion ; orbits expanding or contracting, their planes rocking up or down, their pontic* iia and nodes sweeping in opposite directions round the sun." It is well that we are likewise told, that "the limits of all these changes are fixed ; that these limits can never lie pa-Dsod, and tliat at the tend of a vast period, amounting to many millions of years, the entire range of tluutuatiun will have been accomplished, the entire system, planets, orbits, inclination*, eoocn'ricilies, perihelia, and nodes, will h»i* regained their original value* and places, and the great bell of eternity will have then sounded One I" t'he »# tr" (S77) tf.

Ue.-urriug again to the phenomena of travel; (for carih is to man uoi e otlier than a magnificent chariot wherein be rides ar. und that great central luminary, the buik in the niidat of planetary systems without end;) we may refer to tUe apparent motion of the objects through which the passenger ou the railway progresses. While passing in A direct line through a forest of of trees, those trees toward which he is moving will appear to open out or seperate from coch other, while thota left behind will appear toclose up. Sow this same opening-out nud this saute closing up, are actually the criteria etuployod to determine the astronomer touching the direction in which man on this earth is travelling through the starry Forest in the ekies. Borne along fay the uovement of the sun, the astronomer accorlingly seek* a point in the heavens where the itars appear to be increasing their mutual listancvs. Finding J&e point, be next looks tehind him in the opposite direction, and here perceiving the star* to close ap aa each Dther, he concludes that he has found the diriction in whieh lie is nCDving.

The gunbarrel on the moving boat represents the tube ol' the star-gazer, and the bout represents the earth which bears him while itself sweeping around in its orbit. Down the axis of that tube the particles of light, like tlie aforesaid ride-balls, must pass, in order to reach the eye of the obsorver. As the velocity of the earth's motion has been ascertained, and as the amount by which the telescopo must he inclined, to cause the light to enter, has been determined, the velocity of the light itself becomes known from these two data; and thus the previously determined value of this incredible velocity is satisfactorily confirm**!.— For the rest, the reality of theaartb's notion is absolutely necessary, to render the phenomena at all explicable. Such an illustration may serve to explain to the grossest under* standing bow it is that, owing to the progressive motion of ligbt, and the rovolu'.ion of the earth in its orbit, the celestial bodies oannot occupy in the heavens the places which they appear to fill. The particles of light from Jupiter take nearly forty minutes in passing from the planet to the observer's eje. Meanwhile, the eortfc has progressed in its orbit some thirty-seven thousand miles, and the spectator borne aloug with it must see the planet, «wt where it actually is, but where it was in appearance some forty minutes before. The same effect in kind is produced on the places of the fixed stars, «pd is called aberration. To bruig All this to n'tad with clearness and precision, it needs only to think of the gun-boat, the j-iUo-barrel, and the rifleball.Strange but Tbd«.—A little occurrence took place In Aleghenreity last week, which borders somewhat on toe romantic: Mrs. a California widow, as ladies get* erally are termed whose husbands are absent in the land of gold was startled one mornmg in the early part ofthe week by a loud, impatient knock at the door. Her attendant was out, and being rather buried, aa4 tm the second story, she Rooked out of the window to ascertain who the visitor eould be. The appoarauoe of the individual at the door was rather striking. His wearing apparel was coarse, ill wad« and very mud) out of fashion. The hair on hie free alwost .concealed his features. The lady thought that like SampHon, a razor bad never passed over it since the day of his birth, »ud certainly, to say the least or it, no one would even for a moment have thought it neeeesair for him to tarry at Jericho until hie beard was grown.
