Henry Weston had been dead some 20 bours when his fatbher arrived. â€"The scene which enâ€" sued as that old man bent over the body of his boy can better be imagined than described. He upbraided himself for his nnhndn-uu:.md that he would gladly give all his wealth .to haxe his son restored to life. He had ‘He will never see me alive, but he will love me when I am dead! said the brave boy when informed of this. bemedl best toe pay oll old scores on uqs aecciasten The (l’m-l) to \\lliL‘}_l Wieston belooged was dismounted and ordered to advance as skirmishers. With wild, glad cheers the brave boys Libed on, headed by their gailant capâ€" taiin, amid a hail of minie balls. . They l not pause for the fire, but on, on they dashed, firing as they ran, until the Conftederates began to waver and slicken their fire, _ At this momwent the volonel galloped down with the howitâ€" zers, and a few shots from them cleared the ritle pits, and all who were not slain, fled, casting down their arms as they went. Dut there was loss on the Federal vide,. _ More than ‘one brave man has limped back to the surgeon‘s ambulance vided by his comrades, and when the zroup was looked over there lay one on the very bank of the river in front of the enemy‘s works who could rise no more,. _ His discharged carbine lay by his side, The hilt of his half drawn siber was clutched in his hand. Two wounds one in the head and the other through his lungsâ€"were pouring out his lifeblood in a purple current. +*My father" he gasped. ‘Tell my father I died a brave man an‘d send my l««dy to him _ He will not cast that off‘ â€" It was poor Henry Weston. Though mortally wounded, he lived long enough to be carried back to camp. And he did not die before his father, by tele graph, was informed of his situation and sent in reply that he would start instantly for his son‘s bedside. tire 11 them phed the younsg his small boot w [\ wl features indic ted firmness, even to ybstinacy. Mr. Wikkinson Weston was not alone in the apartment. _A young man not much beyond 21 stood before him. A similarity of features told that they were related. The youth, howâ€" ever, had clear blue eyes and less of that firm mark of determination in his expression. _ And â€"pity to say itâ€" there was in the young man‘s face plain evidence that he was seading what is termed a fast life. In the parlor of one of the finest suits of rooms in the first and best ho tels in the city of New York, in the early days of 1861, stood a gentleman whose age was probably 60, for his hair was snowy white, and his brow wore an abundance of Time‘s furrows in the shape of wrinkles. _ His éeyes were of a cold, passionle«s, (‘alcula}ing gray.

Prof. Moller, of Carlsrubhe, has made some interesting observation on clouds. The highest clouds, cirrus and cirroâ€" stratus, rise on an average to a height of nearly 30,000 feet. The middle chouds keep at from atout 10,000 to 23,000 feet in height, while the lower clouds reach to between 3000 to 7000 feet. The. cumulus clouds float with their lower surface at a height of from 4000 to 5000 feet, while their summits rise to 16,000 feet. The top of the Alps are often hidden by clouds of the third class, but the bottom of clouds of the second class, and especially do the thuader clouds often enfold them. The vertical demensions ots cloud observe by Prof. Moller on the Netelburg were over 1200 feet ; he stepped out of it at a height of 3700 feet‘ and high above the mountain floated clouds of the midâ€" dle class, while veils of mist lay on the ravines and clefts. The upper clouds were growing thicker, while the lower ones were dissolving, and *it spon began to rain and snow. Take the east and ‘north coasts of Scotliand for exawple. Iun the winter of 1860, at Bishop‘s lighthouse, the bell was torn from its fastenings, alâ€" though situated 100 feet above high water mark. At Unst, in the Shetlana lqlunds a door was burst, in at a height ‘ of 195 feet above the level of the sea. The most wonderful effects of wave force recorded were wituessed at, Wick Harbor break water. | Blocks weighing from five to ten tovs were built in above the line of 1 bigh water, first with bydraulic lime, then with Romxn and last with Portâ€" land cement. This great work was considered by the most learned enginâ€" eers in England to be capable of withâ€" standing the assaults of the ocean for | agrs, but in October, 1864, over 300 | feet of this giant barrier was swept | away. In 1872 a monolithic block, f weighing 1350 tons, was lifted bodily | and carried to leeward of the break water, and in 1873 another and beavier concrete mass, weighing 2600 tons, which had replaced the former, was swept away intact and carried to a point equally distant. Of superstititions, the Parsees have had more than they retain. Connected with burial is the popular conception as to the efficacy of a dog‘s gaze after death. Dogs are scared, and supposed to guide the souls of the dead t. beavâ€" en, and to ward off evil spirits ; hence it is customary to lead a dog into the chamber of death, that he may look at the corpse before it is carried to the Tower. Meanwhile, and for three days after, the priests say constant prayers for the departed, for his soul is supposed not to leave the world till, the fourth day after death. On the fourth day there is the Uthannaâ€"ceremony, whenBlarge sums of money are given away in memâ€" ory of the departed. The liturgy in use is a series of funeral serimons of Zoroaster. _ The marine dynamometer, for meaâ€" suring the force of waves against the obstacle, was invented by Thomas Stevenson, and one of the results obâ€" tained was at Skerryvore lighthbuse, in the Atlantic, where a force of 6083 pounds per square foot was measured. At Dunbar a force of three and a half tons per square foot was recently regisâ€" tered. ' a A visitor to the seashore in summer, who goes into the water to bathe, can sometimes form from his own experâ€" ience a faint idea of the foree exerted by a wave., But to fully appreciate wave force and what may be termed the throwing power, let us see what can be done by water to solid masonry. Shot after shot from the most powerâ€" ful cannon upon earth â€"ould not work such destruction as have waver apo : huge granite blocks, break waters and lighthouses. the body embalmed and to6k it back to The Tower of Silence.
