The early oliservers •o heavens saw tie sky rolling eon- 1 ly arvmud the earth fmm east to went, as if it waaagrtit hollow globe hung upon a pivot at the iorth star, and upon anothffi pivot at tie Mouth pole. The fixed utarw seemed lite silver nail Beads driven firmly into ike rolling shell, ami earned with it ii its daily revolution around the earth, pit preserving the flame poiilion to each otjir from year to year, and century to eeiltiry. Tliis opinion in regard to the iimnpntdo position of the fixed stars contutufi to prevail down to the luxt century. \h % n the large and bold intellect of 8ir Wl&ftin Hewohel, an the inscription on hiajtonument says, w broke through the inck*n» of Heaven \ (fws- lorum ptrmpit rhmlra) and went forth to the Htudy c»f tn< universe of stars.— The ohner vat ions jb Henwhel proved that the star* which ativisible to our eyes, in- cluding the innunifable multitudes whose blended light mt£a up tho \milky way\ form a cluster orj. *stem by themselves, which in t*epamt*s5l'y inconceivable dis- tances from otlief^'wto'™ tna ^ *re to \*s newn UH faint iu£>le in the depths of space Since He^nel's olwervations were made, the Htudy Slour stellar system has occupied a largtvtare of the attention of astronomers.

Nearly II astronomers acquiesce nlm> in Ma«<lle»» conclusion, that there is no large central body which controls the tuovementM of lie other stars foy its pre- ponderating iam Mawller is, however, KUtirtHeil that tllthe l>odie« of our stellar nysU'iii are rivtlving alnnit a common centre of grant.*, and to the determining of thr |KMitioH »f this centre he has de- voted a great d-al of lalmr and study. Among all tk' constellations in the sky, there is no otlifr which has, in all ages, Attracted so mtth human interest as the I it-tin cluster of the Ptoiatle*. One of the fluent pawngcan Bcriuturu Is the ((lies tion t«> Job': \i-anst thou bind the sweet influence of PUiades, or l(H»He the founds of Orion t\ ^nd, fbr many centtiriw, a sm t-eMtiou of uwtio feeling has ^uthered around u the long lost sister of tlte seven stilts.\ But a re«li interest has now been given to this utoried group, for the com- putations of Miedler lead to the conclu- sion t hat Alcyone, the brightest star of the cinder, occupitt the very centre around which the. host* of heaven roll their tna- jc*tV courses. The distance of our sun from the cen- tre of gravity of this stellar system, as wvll UH the velocity of its motion, is yet undetermined, though some of Muedler's olwr vat ions iwUuite that the distance is iu< Ii that it would take light 640 years to p)iMM through the some, that the sun's velocity in his orbit i« about 1,000 miles per minute, and that it will take him about 20,000,000 of years to make one revolution. Tlie latest conclusion in re- gard to the size of our stellar system, is that ii ray of light, moving at the rate of IN'J.OOO inilcH per second, would require about 4,00') years to pass through its di- ameter. The Pleiades are at this time of the year almost exactly overhead at 6 o'clock in the evening, and, of course, farther went later in tho evening. A little way to the southeast of tho Pleiades are the HVIKICH five stars in the form of a V, with a bright ntar in the end of one side. Htill farther to the southeast is Orion, with the three bright stars in his belt.— Further Htill, in the same direction, form- ing almost a straight line with the three gmii|m mentioned, is the Dog-Btar, Sinus, the brightest of all the ftxed stars. But, as we have said, tho most interesting of the M- is the faint little cluster of Pleiades, tor it is probable that around the bright mt of tin* group, Alcyone, our own sun, all the stars that we can see in the sky, arc sweeping in their immense orfo'its, OCBAX mjonxmt. When the sea is perfectly clear and transparent it allows the eye to distin- guish ofojects at a very jjreat depth.— Near Mlndorn, in the Indian Ooean, the spotted cornls are plainly viaifole under twenty five fathomft of water. The crts- tullme cleftrne«fe of the OarifolKwin flea ex- ed the admiration of Ooltitnfoua, who, the pumuit of hit great discoveries, rr retained an open eye for the beau- of nature. \In passing over* these fmlondidly adorned grounds,\ says Schopf, \where marine life shows itself in an undies* variety of forms, the liotit, suspen over the purest crystal, s<iemB to float 1 THE in the air, so that* pewon unaccustomed to the scene easily becomes giddy. \On the clear sandv bottom appear thousands of sea-stare' sea-urchins, moluH- ses, and fishes of a brilliancy of color yn- known in our tomperatu seaa Burning wl, intense blue, lively green, and gold- en yellow, perpetually vary; the spectator floats groves of sea-plants, gorgoriias, co- rals, aleyoniums, flabellums, and sponges, that afford no lew delight to the eye, und are no lean gently agitated by the hcaviug wntent, than the most beautiful garc'en when a gentle breeze paHKes through the waving boughs.\ Mr. Charles Dtir- win paints iu vivid colors the magnili- icent spectacle presented by the sea, while sailing in the latitudes of Ctypo Horn on a very dark night. There was a fresh breeze, and every part of the sur- face which during the day is seen OH foam now glowed with a pale light. The ves- sel drove before her bows two billows of liquid phosphorus, and in her wake she was followed by a milky train. AM far as the eye reached tlic crest of every wave was bright, and the sky above the horizon, from the reflected glare of these livid flames, was not so utterly obscure as over the rest of the heavens. While I AX Venus was at anchor before Simon's Town the breaking of the waves produced so strong a light that the room in which the nat- uralists of the expedition were seated w as illumined as by sudden flnnlum of Kglit- ning. Although more than fifty paces from the beach where the phenomenon took place, they tried to read by tliia wondrous oceanic light, but tjic succere- ive glimpses ncru ot too short duration to gratify their wishes. Thus we see the same nocturnal splendor which shities forth in the Lopical seas, and gloams along; our shores burst forth from tjhe Arctic, waters, and from the waves that bathe the southern promontories of the old and new world. But what Is the cauflc of the beautiful phenomenon wide- ly spread over the face of the ocean ?— How comes it that nt certain times flames issue from the bosom of an ole- nicnt generally so hostile tothoir appear- ance? Without troubling the \reader with the groundless surmises of ancient naturalists, or rcp< '(ing the useless tales of the past, I shall at once place mysulf with him on the stage of our actual knowledge of this interesting and myste- rious subject. It is now no longer a matter of doubt thht almost all inferior marine animals, particularly the jelly- fishes, many molusses And annclides, crus- taceans ana infusoria, possess 'the faculty of emitting a phosphoric light, and ad- ding their mite to the grand phenome- non). When wo consider their countless multitudes, we shall no longer wonder at such magnificent effects being produced by creatures individual I v so insignifi- cant. In our seas it is chiefly a minute gelatinous animal, the mammaria scintil- lans, which, as it, were, repeats the Bpleu- did spectacle of the starry heavens on the surface of the ocean. VABIETIK8, TUB weight of the iron-cased frigate Warrior, when ready for sea, will l>e 8,827 tuns; the weight of the hull alone will be no lese than 5,700 tuns. IN a circular recently published by Messrs. Dufour & Co., of Lyons, France, it is stated that America takes 200,000,000 francs worth of silk from Europe annually. Bv the census ot 1860, the population of Ohio is 2,846,000. The Commissioner of Statistics gives the total wealth of the 8tate $888,802,001. This shows that the people of Ohio are worth in the average, including men, women and chidren, $;V7l) each. ANOTHER great cannon was lately cast at Pittsburgh, Pa., and called the \Un- ion.\ It is of a 151-inch bore; the metal used in the casting amounted to 78,104 lbs., and it is expected to carry a ball a distance of 6 miles. This gun was cast hollow, not solid, as by the old process. H. Q. Bulkley, of Kalamazoo, Mich., has mado the discovery that, by slightly steam- ing Chinese sugar cane before it is pressed, all the juice can foe easily extracted with a common mt of pressure rollers. As the pressing of this cane constituted the chief difficulty with fanners iu obtaining sirup from it, this discovery is of great im- portance to them. In tempering steel for what is called a \straw color,\ raise it to a red heat, then plunge it into oil having a temperature of 175°; for a purple color, plunge it into oil heated to 200°; and for a blue shade, the oil should be 212° Fab. This method of tempering with warm oil answers well for steal wire in coil, costly traps and dies, and cutters for gear engines. THE export of grain from the United States to Europe during the post year has been nnequnled. In the year 1859, 2,590, 927, bushels of grain were exported to Great Britain; in 1800, there were 28,820, 880, bushel* exported, being an increase of 21,590,927 bushels. Never Iwfore has the surplus product of the United-States risen to such gigantic proportions. A CUBIC inch of gold is worth one hundred and forty-six dollars; a cubic foot, two hundred and fifty-two thousand, two hundred and eighty-eight dollars; and a cubic yard, six million, eight hundred and eleven thousandjScven hundred and seventy-six dollars. The quantity of gold now In existanco i? estimated to be tnrue thousand millioosof dollars, which, weld- ed in one mass, could be contained in a cube of twenty-three feet. INDU8TRY AND INVENTION. LKAMC A TRADE. [Written for the Advance.] Young man, you are casting about and thinking what bustneea you shall select for a livelihood. Some of your youthful associates have made choice already. One has gone into a storo to clerk it, you like his appearance better than that of the lad who went to learn the tanning busi- ness. Another has entered a bank, and another has a pkioe in a jewelry shop, these three, iu fact, and the one who is writing in the lawyer's ofttctf, are your companions to the neglect of Charles who is apprenticed to the boot and shoe' busi- new, ami Henry who is learning the har- ness and saddle business, and John who will be a blacksmith if he is spared. I pray you now consider, what U it that actuates you in the selection of these as- sociates? It ii not the mental calibre that moves you, for you know that the young mon last mentioned are the superiors in intellect, of the former lads spoken of, fbr it was so decided by their teacher. I fear there is an undenting of bard work, or of manly labor; ha 1 said one to a tanner, what a dirty trade you have^te—it may be, he replied, but \ it uiakea clean money.\ Ask your father to tell you bow many \ would be -' nice young men he can recol- lect who liad entered upon the mercan- tile (by which I mean dry goods princi- pally) business and .had, succeeded ?—or rather, bow many have complained or foiled; why is it that there are so many applications for the places first mentioned in the article, and not for good trades. Look at history and you will J8nd that some of our greatest men were mechan- ics. Franklin was a printer, Roger Sher- man hammered out shoes oa the bench while beaide him lay the books, the study of which in leisure momenta properly di- rected, made for him the name now in- Bcrilxid in the niche of history; what of Fulton, of Stevens, of Hoc, and a host of men who wore not ashamed of work. I do not say that you are, but you seem to think it more respectable to appear well dressed, tie, fie, on such thoughts, dress docs not make the man, nor the animal, the lion knew the donkey although he had the lion's skin well arranged on his body, but no sooner did he open his mouth than the u cat was out of the bag,\ every body knew \t was only a poor donkey. But there are reasons why in the fluc- tuations of business and in the mutations through which we pass in this busy world, why a person should have a trade. First, if the man who makes two spires of grass to grow where before there was only one, has done something for his kind; much more the mechanio, who creates, or makes something riiat is useful, he is constantly adding to the wealth of the State,—while the business of the class first spoken of in a measure necessary perhaps, are consumers merely, they add nothing to the wealth of the body poli- tic, nothing for export. Much might be said on this point but time will not admit. In the second place he who has a trade I care not what it is, may always obtain a competence, he may have been a wealthy man font riches take to themselves wings and fly away, and then where is the bread to come from, for the wife of his bosom and the children unable to help themselves. If he has no trade to fall' back upon in such an hour, he will vainly curse the pride or oversight, or whatever you may call it, as many before have done, that they were not encouraged to learn Home way that would prevent them in adverse circumstances from becoming gentleman beggars. Learn a trade, no mat- ter hardly what, make yourself a profi- cient in that branch whatever it may foe, it is honorable—it is respectable, and it is much more comfortable to feel that by the sweat of your brow and the blessing of God you have what you hare, than to IK; obliged to others for the bread that keeps you and yours from pinching want. MECHANIC. A HEW METHOD 0T t. A new method of engraving has been invented by Messrs. Hitchcock A Larch- ar, of New York City, which bids fair to make a complete revolution in the art of producing platen in relief for illustrative and other purposes. This newly invent- ed and patented process is called the \ Oraphotype,\ and some idea of its val- ue and usefulness may be obtained from the following description of the curious 8, r 1861. manneV 1ft which plishcd. Blocks of densely compressed chalk are formed of any required size, and fa* ced with a tine drawing surface. On this surface any artistic <Jej»ign is executed with an ink, the main body of winch 1H a solution of silex, possessing the property of hardening the chalky. surface of the block wherever it touches, while the in? tcryening spaces axe left soft, and suscep- tible of being brushed or \ routed M to any needed depth. The moBt delicate haifilinea and cross-hatching are preserved by Uiifl process in bold relief, after which tlje whole block is made almost as bard as quartz by dipping it in a solution of silex The block thus prepared is raised uj)on a composition block, type high, aid i» reaUy for t\m press or thy sterbo- typer. The inventors claim for their sin- gular process these j^reat advantages over wood engraving, viz: First, economy of time in favor of the graphotype as hours £q days; second, a qaving of\ twenty-fivo percent, iu cost; and thirdly, truthful- ness, as perfect reproductions of the ar- tist's drawings are marie without the loss or alteration qf a single line. Another advantage ia, that copper plates are pro- duced by this process in relief, and may be Tforked as wood engravings. UH AJTO PHOTOGRAPHY, Bun pictures may be taken in various modes, some requiring several minuto* an<t others only an instant. Photographs' of rapidly moving objects, as race horees, the waves of the eea, Ac, are take* in tho hundredth part of a second. In English experiments, an image was taken in the ten thousandth part of a second; and a rapidly revolving wheel was taken in so brief a space that it seemed perfectly well defined and stationary, l^iug illuminated by a single discharge of an electric bat- tery, occupving, according to Whcatotone, only the millionth part or a second. SOME small spirits, ashamed of their origin, are always striving to conceal it. ana b^ the very efforts they make to do so, betray themselves, like that worthy but stupid Yorkshire dyer, who, having gained his money by honest chimney sweeping, and feeling ashamed of chim- neys, built his house without one, send- ing all his smoke into the Bhaft of Aria dye-works. HEALTH DEPARTMENT. CVBI FOE CAKCZR Some eight months ago Mr, T, B. Mason, who keeps a music store on Wis- consin Street, ascertained that he had a cancer on his face too siz» of a pea. It was cut out by Dr. Walcott, and the wound partially healed. Subsequently it grew again^aptl wtylu^a w*» at Cincin- nati on business it attained the size of a hickory nut lie remained there since Christ urns, under treatment, and is now perfectly cured. The process is this: A piece of sticking plaster was put over the cancer, with a circular cut out of the centre a little larger than the cancer, so that the skin next to it was expos- ed. Then a plaster made of chloride of xinc, bloodroot and wluat flour, was spread on a piece of muslin the size of tni« circular opening, tud applied to the cancer for twenty-foii v hours. On remov- ing It, the cancer *i!l foe found to be burnt into, and appeAr of the color and hardness of an old vhoe sole, and the cir- cular rim Outside of it will appear white and par-boiled, as if scaled by hot steam. The wound is now dressed and the out- side rim socjn seperates, and the cancer comes out in a hard IUTPJ), and the place heals up. The plaster kills the cancer, so that it sjoughs out like, dead flesh, and never grows again. The remedy was dis- covered bv Dr. Fell of London, has been used by him for six or eight years with unfailing success, and not a case has been known of the reappearance of the cancer when this remedy has been applied. PROPERTIES OP CHAB- Dr. Stcnhouse, an English chemist and physician of much celebrity, lias re- cently devoted attention to the deodoriz- ing and disinfectant properties of char- coal, and has invented an instrument by which those properties may foe made, practically availabla. An atmosphere rendered highly offensive by putrefactive decomposition ^oing on within the cham- ber, in which it is confined, is drawn throagh charcoal filters, by means of a rotating fon machine, and is poured into an apartment adjoining. Although this air is disgustingly fetid, it flows out into trie room perfectly free from smell. The remarkable property which charcoal has of condensing within its pores large quantities of the fetid gases Is greatly in- creased by a process of platinizing the charcoal. • OHESBVULVXiS. Ife aYe told, on the highest authority, that \the merry heart is a, continual feast,\ and we know that one of the simplest 1 facts of medical* science es- tablishes the conviction of cheerfulness being the host, and greatest supporter and promoter of health. May we advise that this' beneficial cheerfulness should \>e cul- tivated as a family virtue. By its means health is promoted, as well as a love of hotnc; while the gloom that damps the spirite, depresses also the yital energies, and makes the young members of a household eager and anxious to escape 'from the spot Which ought to foe the well-beloved and attractive centre of the best affections of the heart. \ The «uA of Nature's raised on high, And throagh it dew-drop* from the #ky • Are/ailing whfle o«'r the plain come* from after— A tumult llfcu die din of war, The baby'g squalling r The Krc&tcat organ in the world, some old bachelor says, IH the organ of speech in a woman—it Is an organ without stops.

Edmund Burke, a great and good man says: u Manners are of more important than laws; upon them, 'in a great meas ure, the laws depend. The low louche: us but here and there. Manners an what yex or eoothe, corrupt or purify, ex alt or debase, barbarize or refine us,* by : constant, atejuly, uniform operation like that of the air we breathe.\ What are manners ?
