Tho great Appalachian coal field, in Pennsylvania, is divided into six or more coal basins, running in a northeast and southwest course. Each of these long, narrow basins might be expected to produce the same general characters of coal, which would differ from each other as we go northwest. This, however, can only be proved by the results of practical mining, which has not been sufficiently extensive on the same seam of coal to verify this rule. The mining done in the north, on tjie lino of the Philadelphia and Erie road, is on the lower seams of the lower coal measures, while that in the southwest of Pennsylvania is on the Pittsburgh sesm of the Suggestions about Green and Seasoned limber. The Planet Saturn. Cam.—It ii od* of the moat delusive thing* in life, this ides of getting clear of care. It is inseparable with life—a part and a parcel of it. True, a person may get clear cf one care, or a set of cares; but it is only to make room for others. Many hare been woefully cheated with the idea of finding happiness by a withdrawal from business, and seeking ease and exemption from care, in retirement. Care will find a'man there or any where—crawl forth out of the bushes, or the crevices of the house, in seclusion. It will fasten upon one in soine shape—and the more pertinaciously, the more he strives to brush it off—because he is fated to it. No man ia so little disq\iieted with care as he who cares nothing about it— seeks to avoid it. Better face right about and battle it—brush through the thickest of it— jump right in over head and ears—rather than timidly shrink from it. BYTE'S When yon and I were young, my boy, And snow lay on the hill, How joyfully we stole from school. With "Ikey Jones" and "Bin;" And how we scrambled to the lop, And rattled down with glee— All gone but you and me, my boy, All gone but you and me. The Stone Mas. P S. STARK, vA ATTORNEY AT LAW, PITT8T0N, PEXN'A % Most persons who deal in timber and firewood, who work both green and dry timber all their lives, and who cut, handle, and burn wood, more or less, nearly every day of the year, have no adequate conception of the great weight of green timber, nor of tho large percentage of water in both green timber and unseasoned firewood. And even teamsters who have carted or sleighed hundreds of cords of both green and seasoned firewood and timber are seldom aware that from one-fourth to onehalf the weight of a green tree is water, which will evaporate in a few months after the timber has been sawed out or split into billets for fuel or staves, or for other purposes. We aro told by astronomers that now is the time for viewing the large rings of the planet Saturn to the best advantage. The • favorable feature of the present opportunity is that their plane is now inclined so as to show the greatest opening between them, and interest in the event is heightened by the circumstance that it occurs only onje In «bout thirty years. A telescope of moderate size will reveal the phenomenon and stimulate the gazer to hazard a guess as to the material of which the apparently luminous bands are composed. Indeed, (here is no limit to the theories which may be advanced on this subject. The number of these rings is uncertain. Viewed through ordinary telescopes, there appears to be but two, but instruments of greater power establish the fact that these are composed of several narrow ones, while within the inner luminous ring has been discovered another dark ring translucent to such a degree that the body of the planet can be seen through it. This ring lies within 8,000 miles of the planet. The breadth of the inner bright circle is 1(5,000 miles, and that of the outer one 10,000 miles. Their thickness is estimated not to exceed 50 or 100 miles. It is an accepted theory that these rings are sustained in the same manner as our moon is sustained In its revolution about the earth. As to their composition, the idea has been suggested that they consist of matter in a liquid condition. Another theory ia that they are composed of solid matter divided into myriads of little bodies which have no cohesion, each revolving independently in its orbit, giving rise to the appearance of a bright ring when they are closely crowded together, and a very dim one when they are scattered. The latest speculations on the subject are to the effectthat these rings constitute moons in process of formation from gaseous matter thrown off from the body of the planet; then when a ring becomes too heavy it loses its cohesive force, breaks and rolls up into a spherical body revolving upon its axis. This theory involves the supposition that all planets nuv form for themselves new moons in the same manner. or * f8W ,in*®toachfnKthe "StoneMan," - 'y call, him** C"W"-M U»e Hartford Pott facetious hi, boweu*Cardiff Giant lie, his hand upon .

Bat as we approach the northwest corner of this coal region, we find two or tbi£e' distinct kinds of coal. The first it the cannel coal along the Alleghany River, which, before the discovery of the oil wells, was extensively used for the manufacture of kerosene by distillation. The cannel coal of Breckinridge county, Kentucky, in the southern part of the great Illinois coal field, is of a similar character; and was among the first that was used for the same purpose. It is situated in a southwest direction from, and probably is in the same original coal basin. upper coal measures, Maple, beech, hickory, tough oak, and many other kinds of green timber will weigh from fifty to sixty pounds per cubic foot. If the timber is of second growth and of fine grain, a cubic foot will always weigh more than fifty pounds; so that, as a rule, it will be safe to compute the weight of most kinds of green timber at fifty pounds per cubic foot. As there arc one hundred and twenty-eight cubic feet in one cord of wood, it follows that a solid cord would weigh six thousand four hundred pounds, or more than three tons. By deducting about onefifth this weight for the interstices between the sticks, we have five thousand one hundred and pounds, as the weight of a cord of green wood, cut four feet long, and piled four feet high, and eight leet in iengtb. 8.

In the southwestern part of the Alleghany coal region near the State line at Youngstown, Ohio, and about Sharpsburg, on the Pennsylvania side, is found another peculiar and very valuable laminated splint coal, known in the region as "block coal," highly esteemed for its smelting iron in the Mahoning valley. It also commands a large market at and from the ports of Erie and Cleveland, as a grate and steam coal in the West. The Big Muddy coal mined at Carbondale, 111., and brought out to Grand Tower, on the Mississippi River, below St- Louis, and that at Chester, are a quality very similar to the celebrated Ormsby and Brier Ilill coal above described, and lie nearly in a southwestern direction from the Youngstown and Sharpsburg region. The Big Muddy coal is also used with success in smelting iron. All of these are from the lowest seam in the series.

The practical considerations brought to light in this computation may bo advantageous to every person who handles or burns wood. ' Nearly one-half of the weight of green wood consists of water. Therefore, he wbo handles and hauls twenty cords of green wood must uec•essarily handle, and compel his heavily-loaded team to draw, more than one ton, and often one and a half tons, of water for every cord of wood. These facts suggest the eminent importance of splitting firewood into small billets, and allowing it to Beason several months before it is carted or sleighed. The facts disclosed show also how much more expensive and unsatisfactory it is in every respect to employ green wood for fuel than that which was cut and split out soon after the trees were felled, to that the larger proportion of water could have time to evaporate. It is said .hat "a pint is a pound, the world round." Allowing, then, that there be only one ton of water in a cord of greon wood, two thousand pints—or pounds— will two hundred and fifty gallons, or • bout four hpgsheads" of water, all to be discharged into the fire. Of course, one barrel of water in the wood that is being burned in a •tove will convey away in a latent and useless state just as much heat as would be absorbed by a barrel of water when sprinkled on the fire. Every one understands how a leaky kettle puts out the fire, even when the best of dry wood is furnished for fuel, as the heat generated, by the burning wood will be carried away in the vapor, instead of being imparted to the oven or to the objects in the room. Taking another practical view of this matter, it will be safe to calculate that two and a half cords of sound, dry wood will furnish quite as much heat as tour cords of the same kind of fuel, burned before it has had opportunity to become seasoned through and through.

Mprmixo.—We have a new creation every morning. Every day is a new birth. Behold the picture! Nature pulls aside the gloomy mantle that night had flung around her. She stands before us as a bride; her beautiful features unconcealed, her loveliness showing out from beyond the veil that has been withdrawn. The moon has gone away with her retinue of (tars.

She wears the garment, light; her crown the sun. The flowers bestir themselves from their supinecess to welcome her. The birds burst forth in song; the streams murmur to her praise; and nature rejoices in her presence. This picture is renewed to us avery day. It never looses its freshness of beauty. The sluggard never looks upon morning arrayed in her gorgeous appeal, sparkling with the crystal dews. His eye is closed, hit ear deaf, and his faculties unconscious of the morning. Nature to him is a sealed book. Everything around him is full of beauty, loveliness, and inspiration; be alone is unconscious, passionless and uninspired. He hears not the melody of morning; he sees not its glow and gladness. He heeds not the clock which proclaims the knell of departing night; which proclaims the reign of day ; which beats the passing of the hours. He alone is blind, and deaf, and dumb. There is sn intemperance in sleeping as well as in eating and drinking. The sluggard awakes far in the day, and when he does awake he is not refreshed and has not recovered from his drunkenness of sleep. He yawns, stretches himself, and stalks into the breakfast parlor to partake in solitude without appetite his unrefreshing meal. His eyes are red, his beard unshorn, his face unwashed, his clothes disorderly and ill put on, and his faculties in the same fix. Can he know of morning? The early riser !

One of the most ebvions phenomena in regard to oar Pennsylvania anthracite coal fields is that the hardest coal is found in the east ends of the first and second coal fields, contrasting very strongly with the soft, free-bnrning semianthracite of their west ends. The line of gradations in softness might, at first glance, appear to be from east to west, and is so stated by Roger* and others, perhaps on account of these two fields lying nearly in that direction. But a little observation will show ns that, in fact, the course of this progression is from the southeast towards the northwest. A line, crossing the course at right angles, and thus corresponding nearly with the general course of the Atlantic coast, would represent the breast, as it were, of the wave of change. Upon a geological map, the southeast-north west course would first strike the stony anthracite fields of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, in which under a high temperature and intense pressure, all volatile matter has been expelled, all vegetable impressions obliterated, and the color of some of the beds changed to a steel blue.

It might be tedious to give further details, and the foregoing are sufficient to prove, at the least, a very remarkable series of coincidences. Others may have observed the peculiarity referred to as to these zones of coal, but the writer has never seen it noticed, and he will thank any one who will give him any additional facts relating to this subject. To ascertain and verify the rule is most important: the cause may bo a matter of opinion. But it will readily be seen that if repeated observations should establish a law governing the formation of the same general description ol coal along certain known lines, it might be of the utmost importance in enabling ffs to judge, in some measure, of the character of the coal to be found in undeveloped regions.

This third coal field lies in nearly a northeast and southwest course, and according to the theory proposed, it should produce throughout its entire length from the entire seams, a nearly uniform quality of coal, as regards its bardneiB. This is found to be the case. If there is any observable difference, that produced by the Delaware and Hudson Coal Company in the north horn of this crescent-shaped field, should be a little the hardest, and that from the Nautioke and Shiekshinny and, the softest. The coal produced in the central part of the field at Scranton and Wilkesbarre shonld, in obedience to oar theory, be of the same general character aa that from the same seams of the Mahanoy and of the widest portion of the Schuylkill bftiiM. As we move our line farther northwestward,, we also notice that it first passes the extremity of the southern fork of the first coal field, then *bat of the north fork, while the line has not much passed Shamokin in the second field,leaving Trevorton endofthat field if our rule is a correct one, the softest of all the anthracite ooal in the three regions—as it is known to be.

And yet we find that, with ingenious and neat workmen and skillful mechanics, cutting to a bair's-breadth, and even to the thickness of half a hair, is an operation often performed- with as much mechanical precision as a watchmaker fits the various journals of a gold watch.

Capital and Snrplus, Ariatotle on being censured for bestowing alms on a bad man, made the following noble reply: "I did not give it to the man ; I gave it to humanity." A New Haven paper speaks of Anna Dickinson aa "a woman striding up and down the stage, swinging her arms like the wings of a windmill, and snre—ling at the top of a shrill voice." A child, in its mother's arms, was shot in Pittsburg on New tear's day,by a rude careless bey firing off his pistol on the street. The ball entered the left breast, passing entirely through the child's body. It is thus described in the State Geological Repert: "Passing the meridian of the Shamokin Gap, the ooal acquires a sensible quantity of inflammable gas, earburetted hydrogen, eharaeteristie of the bituminous and semibituminous class of coals, and the proportion of this ingredient seems rapidly to increase as we draw near to the extremity of the basin. It seems to exist in the coal in the gaseous form, or if a portion is in a condition of liquid bitumen, it is in quantity too minute to cause the coal to soften and form coke. The coal is therefore to be regarded as an anthracite, bat of modified properties." $170,000 Needle-makers, particularly those operators whose duty it is to bore out the eyes, display a marvelous skill in the wonderful precision with which they fit up the eyes of small superfine needles, hundreds of which would not weigh half an ounce. Many of these soiall needles are scarcely larger in diameter than a fine hair of a person's head. Indeed, it has been stated that, when the King of Piussia visited a needle manufactory, the person who bores out the needle-eyes asked for a hair of the monarch's head, whereupon he immediately made a neat eye near one end, pointed the other end, put a delicate little thread in the eye of the hairneedle, and presented the wonderful piece of mechanism to the astonished king as a specimen of his acquired skill in cutting and fitting his work to a hair's-breadth. It is said also that there is a curious needle now in the possession of Queen Victoria, which was made at the celebrated needle manufactory at Redditch, and which represents the column of Trajan in miniature. This well-known Roman column is adorned with numerous scenes in sculpture, which immortalize Trajan's heroic actions in war. On this diminutive needle scenes in the life of Queen Victoria arc represented in relief, but they are so finely cut and so small that it requires a magnifying glass to see them. The Victoria needle, moreover, can be opened, and it is said to contain a number of needles of smaller size, which are equally adorned with scenes in relief, the delicate work of which furnishes a fair idea of the wonderfully minute tool with which the cutting and fitting was accomplished, by removing only a small partof a hair's-breadth at every stroke, without cutting beyond the mark.

Simplicity is Bkauty.—The late Fitz Greene Halleck said: "A letter fell into my hands which a Scotch servant girl had written to her lover. Its style charmed me. It was fairly inimitable. I wonder how in her circumstances in life, she could have acquired so elegant a style. I showed the letter to some cf my literary friends in the city of New York, and they unanimously agreed that it was a model of beauty and elegance. I then determined to solve the mystery, and I went to the house where Bhe was employed, and asked her how it was that, in her humble circumstances in life, she acquired a style that the most cultivated minds could not but admire. 'Sir,' said she, 'I came to this country four years ago. Tbeu I could not read or write. But since then I have learned to read and write, but I have not yet learned to spell; so always when I sit down to write a letter, I select these words which are short and simple that I am sure to know bow to spell them.' There was the whole secret. The reply of that simple minded Scotch girl condensed a world of rhetoric into a nut shell. Simplicity is beauty. Simplicity is power. May 18 th.'ST.
