PoorOray thought otherwise. Magnificent iaiona of future railway, -luch aa are no r stupenjout realitiea, loomed up before him, and he began to talk in public of a general ayt ayt-tom - tom ayt-tom uf iron railroad. He waa, of caurae, laughed at, and daclared a visionary, monn-atruck fboL But the more Gray contempbiled hb little railway, the more firmly did he believe iu the practicabili practicability - ty practicability and imnienaeuacfuliieaa of hi cheme. He saw in it all that la now realized, and he raolved, In spite of tha ridicule, the meers and rebuffs that men poured upon him, to prosecute hi undertaking. He petitioned the British Parliament ami sought interest with all the great men of tlie kingdom ; but all this had no effect, exeejit to bring down, wherever he went, the loud jeers and ridicule of all classes. Htill ha persevered, and at length engaged the attention of men of I intelligence ami influence, who finally embraced his views, urged his plana, and the result ia before the world. Thomas Uray, the inventor of rail rail-rvavls, - rvavls, rail-rvavls, who no longer ago than 120, was laughed at fur ever mentioning the idea, waa still living ten years ago, (and as far we know, still lives,) in Exeter, Eng land, u. the full realisation of hi grand dJ aMr e hemes, for whk-h be waa de- claml iswane only naif a century ago.

It site, together with its influence which it exert upon our sys system, - tem, system, by tending fourth it light and beat, add intenity to our interest in this vast ami fiery orb. It it the great central attractor of our solar system aronnd which many inferior workls move in order and unison. Its diameter it about 880,000 miles, which it 112 time greater than that of the earth ; and it mass b said to bt- 1,400,000 timet as great And if all the rest of solar system were united in one body, the sun would be the greater by fifty timet. With these facta before tw, wr can have but little conception of the vastnesa of this wonderftil orb. By aid of the telescope, dark spots have been discovered upon the tun's disc, which have been a subject of much curi osity, as well a interest, to the astrono mers, who still vary in opinion respecting the nature of lb eat spots. Some suppiaw them to be "top of jnouutaint 00 the sun's turfuoe laid bare by the fluctations in hit luminous atmosphere j such is the opuiioa or lauande. Prof. Y Uaott, of Olasgow, also suggest that they may be vast excavations in the luminous Blatter of the sun." But the true phpsieal nature of the phenomena is still rather uncer uncertain. - tain. uncertain. One thing it rather peculiar rela relative - tive relative to these sputa, which ia this : They vary in site and number at different time. It is said tliat from the year 1611 to 1629 the tun was known to be clear of spots, exoept for a few days in December, 1G24. Prof.. Olmsted ttatat that even a hundred are sometimes visible ; but at other timet noue ar to b teen whatever. Such waa tlie case between between-the - the between-the year of 1678 aad 164. It is said, too, tliat the spots have been known to break into pieces and disapsar in a verysuWt time ialao that they ofteu break out again in tlie same place, and often in placet when noue were ever seen before. It it suited that they have been seen with the naked eye, aad, according to Dr. Dick, such spot must have been 50,000 mile in diameter. But very I! ille it known respecting the physical nature of the suu. When it is viewed through a teleeo it apiean to be a mass of burning liquid, in a state of violent ebullitiou. It was believed by LaPltu to be in a state of actual eont eont-bustion, - bustion, eont-bustion, the spots hfing immense eavern or craters, caused by the eruptions or ex explosion - plosion explosion of elastic fluid in the interior.

RKTKIBITIIIX. That, so fur aa is known, was the last JiMipiin Miller ever saw of his tawny foreat bri.lt . Years pruned away. He met, wedded and dcMrrted the lady whose letter in recital of her wrongs, ha made her as famous in literature as the poet himself; hut he never again acknowl edged the Indian woman, who out of tlie depth of her great love hail borne him a child. Not a great while ago, tliut little child, bom in the foreat gloom, came into his piMHvMoir. How, exactly when or where, does not appear, but it is still liv living - ing living and culls Jtaxjuin Miller "Father." She it now fifteen yean old, and is living in Son Frnnciaco, supported from the po poet's - et's poet's purse. HJie is described a? strikingly beautiful. She has her mother's deep, dark eyes, and wealth of raven hair, and her father's clear, Caucaasian skin. Her neighbors call her the beautiful Kjxuiixh girl, for they know not her romantic his history - tory history ; but to her own immediate friends she is known as the poet's gifted child. It is but justice to Miller to say that he is exceedingly fond of her, and does everything iu bis power to make her happy. He has provided for her educa tion, and she already shows traces of tliat genius which has made her father famous and herself proud and huppy to be culled his, though Um ohild of love only.

Give it promptly ; not in huge draught at long intervals, hat in little ip every few minute.

During the next twenty-four or Torty-eight hoc- give three or four hot mustard water foot footbaths, - baths, footbaths, and every now and then, when drink ia wanted, change the pliiin cokl water for toast water, plain black cold tea, or thin, very thin, cold oat-mcal gruel ia which there ia no butter. Which ever of these the patient prefers give him till he tire of it. The gruel is the most strengthening. Between these give him sips of eokl beef tea with a pinch of alt in it, or chicken tea. If he fs.ll asleep don't leave the room, but watch carefully till he w akes, when at once address sore kind words of hope and assurance to kim. Watch carefully for what may be called the "turning craving" of the dis order. Thi it the sudden expression of a desire by the patient for some particu particular - lar particular article of food or drink an egg, a broiled beefetealc, a raw onion, a fried potato, aa apple, etc. The moment the with is mode known, give H promptly, but carefully, in small quantities. At a general rule, though the patient sUrtt to eat tbis with avidity, a few bite or sips will satisfy him, and h pushes it away. Sure recovery haa now set in, and th only care thereafter is to keep the patient cleanly and moderate in his eating aud drinking. To prevent itching and pitting : As anon a the pustule begin to fill up pat them with a small cloth dipped repeat edly ia barley water, and then anoint them well with tweet oil plied by meant of a stout feather. In case of children, inclose the hands and forearm in old, soft, but ttrong linen or muslin bags well oiled. Don't be afraid of the bed-clothes, for they are generally de destroyed. - stroyed. destroyed. At to what are termed disinfectant, if I could not obtain hronio-chloraium, or some other odorless disinfectant, I would not use any at all. Carbolic acid and chlia-ide of lime, the rmait commonly used, are far more nauseating than the smell of the small pox itself. I firmly believe that more pe- pie died of carbolic acid in Philadelphia aere last winter than of small-pox. From the moment of attack the room should be kept dark, and morning and Bight it sliouid be thoroughly ventilated, the patient being covered completely over with the bed-ekJis, w' ile the window and door are opened for at least ten minute each time. Now, sir, I v ould tike to hive all who may follow this advice report the result to you for publication ; for I fuel certain that if the people can once be taught to lose this cowardly fear of iinnll-pux, pa patient - tient patient will receive proper nursing, and, getting that, tb filial ease will bt re reduced - duced reduced to at low an average at that of any ordinary ailment of which man, in the course of nature, must at tome time die.
