wait‘ it costs To aoitasan A ‘cu-y. 1 BTliat war is an expensive occupation, the

_ritish Government and People are begin- ning to understand by means of augmented ‘H95. and the opening of the ﬁre of the Allies suggests a calculation as to the cost of the iron balls which have been thrown into Sebastopol by the ﬁve hundred cannon which have vomited them into what Gori- schakoff called “an infernal ﬁre.” The accounts by the Asia represent, that each ofthese guns ﬁred one hundred and tiventy rounds a day, which gives a total for" the ﬁve_ hundred of sixty thousand rounds. This ﬁre had been continued for thirteen ‘JAY’. making an aggregate of seven hun- dred and eighty thousand missiles rained upon the city.

The weight of the shot ﬁred from the

guns of the Allies varies probably from nineteen to one hundred and forty pounds, and of the shells from ﬁfteen to one hun- dred and ten pounds—iind forty-ﬁve pounds would propaibly be a low estimate for an average. This of Iron to the Russians, amounting to two million seven hundred thousand pound and ti total for the thirteen days of thirty- ﬁve-million one hundred thousand pounds- the prime cost of which, in the rough, at the average price of pig iron in England for the last year, was not less than three hundred and thirteen thousand three hundred and eighty dollars. This is, of course, without any regard to the enormous cost of trans- portation to the Crimea.

Ifthe cannon balls ﬁred from the Allied lines, during the thirteen days, were rolled into rail liars, weighing sixty pounds to the yard, the bars would extend three hundred and thirty-two miles; or if laid as a rail- road, would suﬁice for a single track road from New York to Albany, with all the necessary turn-outs.

The charge of powder for encli gun would probably average about six pounds, which would show an expenditure for the thirteen days of four millions six hundre and eighty thousand pounds of powder. Sncli powder is worth here eighteen cents, at which price the powder cost seven hun- dred and two thousand dollars.

Rina on THE Fonitrii Fiivcizrt.---The idea of wearing rings on the fourth ﬁnger of the left hand, because of a supposed artery there which went to the heart, was carried so far that, according to Levinus Lemnius, this ﬁnger was called Medicus; and the old physiciansmuld stir up their medicaments and potions with it, because no venom could stick upon the very outmost part ofit

‘but it will offend it man and communicate itselfto the heart. It is said by Swinburn and others that, therefore, it became the wedding-ﬁnger. The priesthood kept up this idea by still keeping it as the wedding-

finger; but it was get at, through the use of

this 'I‘.rinity," for in the ancient ritual of En- glish marriages, the ring was placed by the husband on the top of the thumb of the left hand, with the words, “In the name of the father ;” he then removed it to the foreﬁii- gar saying, “In the name of the Son;” then to the middle ﬁnger, adding “And of the Holy Ghost;” ﬁnally, he left it as now, on the fourth ﬁnger, with the closing word “ Amen.”

A Qussrton wsu. i-u'r.—A vslusble friend and a valuable farmer, about the time that the torn rsnce reform was beginning to exert a hesthful influence in the country, said to his hired man :-

“Jonathan, I did not think to mention to you. that I think of trying to do my work this year without rum. How much more must I give you!’

‘ Oh!’ said Jonathan, ‘ I don't care much about it; you may give me what you lease.’

‘Well,’ said the farmer,‘ will give you a sheet in the fall, if you will do without.’

‘ greed,’ said Jonathan.

The oldest son then said, ‘ Father, will you give me a shoe in the fall, it I will do without?’

‘ Yes, erelisll, you shal lhave a sheep, if you will do without.’

The youngest son then said—‘ Father, will you give me a sheep, if I will do without drinking

am 7

‘ Yes, Chandler, you shall have a sheep, if you will do without.’

Presently Chandler spoke again-

‘ Father, hadn't you etter take a sheep too ?’

This was a poser. he hardly thought that he could give up; but the result was, the evil wss henceforth bsnished from the premises, to the

great joy and ultimate happiness ofsllconcerned.'

To Professor Holloway.

Sir,—Gratiiude compels me to make known to_you the extraordinary beneﬁt an aged parent has derived from the use of your Pills. My mother was afflicted for upwards of four and twenty year! with Illllllll and spitting of blood; it was quite agony to see her suffer and hear her cough; I have often declared, that I would give alll possessed to have her cured ; but glthough I paid a large sum for medicine and advice. it was all to no purpose. About three months ago. I ghought perhaps your Pills might benefit her ; at all events I resolved to give them a tri.il, which I did; the result was marvellous: by slow degrees, my mother became better, and after perseveriug wit your remedies for nine weeks, she was perfectl cured, and now enjoys the best of health, althoug seventy-ﬁve years old. I remain. Sir,
