JUL from the ft. YrJovra&l etConserce, THE IETTJCR II. '" , ' Ye bare been asked by several coi res pondents trepeat oar publication of Miss Catherine Fansbawe'a enigma upon the letter H, but were unable to respond at the ni'otnent, our manuscript copied from the Deepdeoe Album (in which Miss Fan sba wrote it in 1816, while on a visit to the late Thomas Hope, Esq., at Deep deoe). having ben destroyed in the fire which consumed our library. , A friend who has preserved a copy of our original publication has supplied it, and we hope that ail our readers who may wish to refer to it will be careful to preserve it. It hss often been ascribed to Lord Byron, and indeed has been published in a cheap edition of his poems. The following was copied frorn the original: ; THE IiETTEB H. TvrM -whispered la heaveu, 'twaa muttered ia hell. And echo caught faintly' the sound ax It fell; On the confine of earth 'twas permitted to rest, r - And the depth of the ocean Its presence confet; Twill b found In the sphere when 'tin riven asunder, Re seen In the lightning and heard in the thunder; 'Twas allotted to man .with hi pearliest breath,' . Attend at his birth and awaits him at death: . Preside o'er his happiness, honors and healUi; . , , , I the prop of his house and the cud of his wealth. -la the hp of the miser 'tis hoarded with care, .... But 1 sure to be lost by his prodigal hir. It begins every hope, every wish It must bound; , ' With the busbandmau tolls; wlth the monarch Is crewned. Wlthout-it the soldier, the sailor my roam. But woe to tli wretch who expeU it, from home! In the whlapers of conscience Its voice will be found, i Nor e'en in the whirlwind of passion be drowned, Twill not soften the heart; though) deaf be the ear, - ( Twill snake it acute and Inslantlrfhear; But In shade let it ret like 4 delicate flewer; 1 . (Jh ! breathe on it softly it dies iau hour. ' k Minister Starred to Dc.jth. Rev. W. F. Checkley, assistant min ister of St Paul's Episcopal Church, in Toronto, starved to death about two weeks ago. Though bis pay was nom inally $800 a year he received about $100. His family consisted of six children Cone, the Jadult son, having lost both hands), two children of a dead brother - and an invalid sister. After Mr.; Checkley 's death it was as certained that the large family had lived on bread for two years. Dnring that long period of suffering meat had not been tasted in the household. An mple fund was laised for the widow i d children. SPOOKS IX A PIA30. A Professor or Mnslc Shaken - Center to Circumference from CoaME&ivxLiJs, Ixd., January 7. Professor J ohn YVoJIram naa a pecu liar experience on last Sunday even ing, which ia susceptible of a scientific investigation. According to state ments ofvftho Professor and a half dozen acanaintances whom be called into h i music room, it was a strange ollsion of bodies. Professor Wolfram. on the evening above named, went into his nrosia f oom and began playing upon one of - bis - instruments. In stantaneous with his touching the piano the room seemed to be filled with a thunderous sound, shaking the house from foundation to roof. The Pro lessor, struck almost dumb by the queer noise, stopped playing, when tne sound also ceased Immediate lv noon touehinff the instrument aeain the sound was heard. By this time his excitement was too many degress abore zero to mention, and the- phe nomenon, aa it were, being so strange, the Professor called in a half dozen friends as witnesses, who were all completely mystified. After a little while the roaring sound changed to a sound like pounding on the wall, and aa the instrument was piayed loud the knocking on the wall increased in proportion, so loud and hard as to make the house tremble. The sound was in succession with the strokes upon the piano, whether they were soft or loud, fast or slow. In a con versation with the Professor this morning (and, by the w.y, he is not only one of the best musicians in the State, but a scientific gentleman), he said he was not a believer in spooks, nor in any way superstitious, but he would like to have this freak of Sound explained by such scientific gentlemen aa Huxley and TjndalL The piano was moved about the room, and the doors and windows were opened to see if that would have any e$eot; but it did not. The pon derous echo continued, responding to the touch of the piano for fully an hour and a half, when it ceased alto gether. Every effort was made to discover the cause of this strange aound by those present, but it was all in vain. All of the parties present say their feelings during the time the sound was heard was simply indes orlbable, expecting every minute to stand in presence of some kind of a horrible or monstrous being. Philadelphia Time.'. THE COLD TT1YE. sne of tixe Csases WMplt Prodqcefl Tba cuinaie ot the : United Statet, and cpcciallj.th Eastern portions of it, ii mbiect to gret and rapid ehasgct. These are oanied, in many instance, by the large extent o! land efface orer which it territory ex tend, and the difference in the amount of solar heat reeeired in dif ferent parts. When Urge bodies of now hare bean deposited in the North the wind aweeping orer hem ia depxired of. is 'heit, hd lower r9pfrtnre Ms the result. When winds from more southerly latitudes occur, the reverse takes place. The vicinity .'of the large oceans which margin the continent of North America on the west and east also tend to produce a change, water part ing will itb heat less rapidly than the land. In addition to these the cur rent of warm water thrown along tne east coast of the United States by the gulf stream, and in the Pacific by tbe Sea of Japan, also exert a powerful irflaenee on the climate of the United States. That waves of heat and cold travel in certain directions, and often with increasing rapidity, is generally caused by the course of chains of mountains and the vicinity of oceans aid takes. In the: States east of the Atleghanies clouds loaded with rain or suow generally come from the east or north, while in the great valley of the Mississippi the cold wave usually has its origin m the ice iand snow-Jovered countries directly nOrtb, and periods of drouth by winds From the south. Iu European couutrk-B the cultiva tion of th i-oil feud the removal of the timber havo produced important cli mate change, and the same has been noticed iu ttie United Statee . GaL win ters, probably, have not so much se vere weather as occurred iu tbe oarly settlement of tho continent, bat it takes place more suddenly and lo a greater extent. Tins i easily aecSuut ed for, as the land, when denuded of timber, presents less U obstruction to the advance of storms, and also affords a greater divereitv of .exposure ju itt surface to the rays of the suu and? be comes more readily and differently heated. As is well known, wind is nothing more than J air rushing iu to restore the . equilibrium which has been disturbed bv expansion caused by heat, arid when the air thas moving is loaded withsaow or other vapor this when meeting with air of a different temperature, condensation takes place and rain or snow ib deposited j '..'he influence of these sudden changes on health is a subject for. tne investigation of medical men and phil anthropist. That it has much to do in causing physical inhrmities cannot admit of a doubt. A change of forty degrees of temperature, such as oc curred on the 2d mst , must aggravate all diseases of the pulnonary organs, and hence, parbps, the extent land f tal effects ot consumption in the East- era and many of the ! Western (States. Countries in which the temperature is nearest uniform, whether it be of a high or low temperature are (gener ally least tull'cted by diseases which arise from exposure to the extremes of beat and cold; jwhilo almost every portion of the habitable globe is sub ject to visitation from maladies which produce disease and death. These generally arise from local causes, such as stagnant water and large quantities of animal and vegetable matter under going decomposition. They do not extend to large areas, and instances of longevity in such countries are not un common. . ' '. ' j j j The lengthening day aud the resto ration to a slate of rest of the disturbed atmosphere caused . tho j recent cold wave to be in a manner temporary, but so large bodies of ice and snow are spread over the great lakes and large portions of the East and West, the re currence of similar waves of cold, though not of equal intensity, may be expected to prevail. ?
