('., it has been asceitai tied what has long been supposed, that Chaltiea was the parent land of astrono my, but it is fount, from this compila tion and from other bricks, tbat the Babylonians catalogued the stars, and distinguished and numcd tlie constel lations that form our present zodiac to how tho course of the nun's path in the heavens; divided time into weeks, months, and years; tbut they tlivhied the week, as we have it, now into seven days, six being dnys of !alor and the seventh a day of rbs', to which they gave a name from which we have derived our word "sabbath," and which day, as a day of test from all labor of rsst from all labor of every kind, tbt-y observed as rigorously as the Jew or the Puritan. The motion of the heavenly bodies and the phenomena of the weath er were noted down, and a connection, as 1 have before stated, detected, as M, de Pei-ville claims to havo discovered, between tho weather and tho changes of the moon, They invented the sun dial to mark the movements of the heavenly bodies, the watet clock to measute time, and they" speak in this work of the spots on the sun, a tact they could only have known by the aid of telescopes, which it is supposed they possessed, from observations that they have noted down of tho rising of Venus and tho fact that L&yard found a crystal lens in the ruins of Ninevah. These "bricks" contain an account of tho Deluge, substantially the same as the narrative in the Bible, except that the names are different, They discloss that houses and land wero then sold, leased and mortgaged, tbat money was loaned at interest, and that the market gar deners, to uso an American phrsse; "worked on shares," that the fanner, when plowing with his oxen, beguiled his labor with short and homely songs two of which have been found, and connect this very rem o to civilization with the usages of to-day. The wall of the brick building at the southeast corner of Second and Alder streets is tho newspaper of the Chinese population. It is the daily or weekly or semi-occasional Bulletin, and is perusod with great eagerness by the almond-eyed heathen when ever there is a new issae Portland Standard.

"No, you couldn't, Johnny," the cher snsweretl with a anils, "be cause you promised, you remember, that you would always tell the truth to me." "Well, I didn't go back on it, did IV "No, Jehnny. Have you any ob jections to telling how eftsn you have taken things that didn't belong to youf "Melao I couldn't remember them all," the boy replied, "but I never lifted anything very paitickeler. Oace when the old woman where I hang out pit sick, and cried a blue streak for oranges, and nobody had the money to buy 'em, I asked the old cove that kept the grocery store to trust me for a couplo till the next day.

A n how, the old woman got wi ll eff I bem oranges." "Then you ate not sorry you took iIimiiiI" the teacher ii.epiired. "Well, the old OOMM had to have them oranges, and aomnhody had to get em for her." The teacher's face was very grave, and aa her companion looked up bn saw the teats in her eyes, a sight which bd a curious effect upon him. "D-in't make me tell you any more, please, ma'am," be said, dropping his eye, - hi- his face flushed scarlet. 'I aWl i othiug but a orTscouriug anyhow, and it ain't NO good to fret about what I do I was kinder diagged into ibis place, eke I'd never a bolheied ton," "What name did you call yourselfT the teacher inquired.

"Well, John, I shall give you a .1. ! ar, and I want you to go to those plaeaa and p. v for all those things." "1'hen I'll have to own up," the boy interrupted in his lewilderment, re lapsing at ouce into slang. "Wouldn't you feel better to coufess Jehnny I" the yotiug lady inquitrfd, net a little troubled at the efl't ot ot her worda. l'ot- a moment the boy aeenied loat in thought, and then, lifting a frank face to bis tempi nion, said: "I ain't Mvor felt p. i tik -let- bad about any ef them things 'cept the base ball, and that I could 'a done without, but if you say so, Miss I at, I'll give the whole thing away; oaly as I ain't lifted anything lately, and don't never mean to again, they would alwavs suspicion me and make me out a thief when I ain't no such thing. Don't you think 'twould do, ma'am, if I dropped the money in them places so they'd be sure to find it? If vou don't think so I'll blow the whole thing, if it takes me to the Island." What a ill yon do, Johnny, if some body needs bread end oranges, and vou ha v n't mi v money to buy them with?" "That's a stickei, ma'am. I dunno." "And it wouldn't lie strange if some thing ef that kind were to happen any dy." "No, ma'am. That's something putty gen'rally to pay with the folks I know." "Well, Johnny, 1 will tell yen what to do." the teacher replied. ' Hers is my card, and when any of join acquaint ances are m trouble I wish you would come directly to me, and if any thing is amiss with yen at any time, be sure and send a messenger. You had better oime up to-morrow, any way, JohniiT. for 1 want to wive you some e ' w warm clothe, and thsu it will le easy for you to find the place next time. Johnny hung hit head. This kind ness had overpowered him, arid not a word could he say. "I didn't mean to hurt you, Johnny," the tender-hearted teacher hurried to say. "You are willing I should help you, are you not? "J guess you had better let me git, now, Miss Lce," the boy replied huskily. "You could knock me down with an eye-winker. You needn't worry about my remsmberiug all you've said, but just now, I'm ail broke a".'' " And I can trust you, Johnnyf the lady inquired. "it's a wo. nm'um. the lo answered o simply. Miss Lee tucked a dollar bill iu his hand, and Johnny hurried out of the building. It took considerable 'tact and skill well as time, for the ioy to satisfactorily manage the business which his teaaher had provided money for. ror instance the gj-ocer from whom he had "lifted" orances had sold out to another man, and JoltTinv w.as obliged to hunt him up. He was at last found, poor and ill, and the boy without a moment's 1 tmrnt 30, 1881. hesitation confessed the theft and pio duced the money. "I guoal I can make it thirty cents," he said, "and that'll be a little iaterest. If I would like to gi,ve you five dollars, then yeu may shoot me for a crew." The ex-grtcer was so u 'prised at Johnny's confession and subsequent generosity that he shook ths boy's hand heartily and invited him to stop in again soon, which tho Isd promised aa heartily to do. Hy nightfall these "beck debts," as Johnny naively called them, were all settled, sod then, after a scanty meet, Aha 4y started out with his evening nepers. About a quarter t.. eight be had sold ent, and then, as fast ss his feet would carry him, he brrrriod to the neighborhood of the Acad ay of Muaio to watch the eople go in i he building. It was opera night, ami litis waa oio of Johnny's greatest pleasure; and so, with hia bsc't to a lamp post, he gave himself up to the delight of watching the gay throng. Johnny wondered what it would bo liko ti drive around in luxurious carriages and hare plenty of money to spend on fine clothes. He thought of the bread and herring he bad eaten for hia supei . and tried to imagine what it would be like to have turkey and cranberry sauce every day. Kvery Chri Unas Johnny had turkey and cranberry as uce for his dinner, and he knew fmm experience how nice they ware. Ha had onca ridden in an sme 1 mm wiih a friend of hie e newsboy- who bad lieen run over by an espreas wagon, and this was the nearest approach to a carriage ride that Johnny had ovof enjoyed. He wandered, us he watched the ppy, gaily dresaed .e ..pie, why it was that some ople ha I alt they wanted, while others were cold aad hungry and sometime started to death. This was not the first time that Johnny a a a m W had been perploxed with n.,.-h thoughts, but they had never ruade h in feel quite so uncomfortable as on tide occaaion. He called to mind the warM uuder olotbing and tidy jacket t.d peats which Miaa Iee had given him tbat day. and tried to comfort himself with the thought that there was oua person in the world who cared for him. There had been a heavy fall of snow that day, and aa Johnny, half abaorbed with hia thoughts, atarted to eroaa the street, be saw something sasrkle in the snow at tho aide of the croasiiig. Tbete bad bean a rusk of carriages, and a fa had not beau able in pull Up to the cuib. As be picked it up he saw that it was au ornament iu h shape of a eroaa and studded at till dmm oide.

There were nine atones in ths cro. Dispos ing of ore- at a tian, aa aa to avaid sus picion, there was money euiuh to laat him for "years and years," he told him self. It puzxled him to know where b could keep the shiners, for there wasn't a BOH I among his scquai a lances whom he dare trust with the secret. Not un til be ere id ir.to his invert. -i t icken bed, with hia treasure carefully hidoen among the straw, did the thought occur that he ought to try to find an owner for it. Then followed a bard laxttle be tween the natural honesty of the lad and hie very natural desire for creature comforts. The pet son a ho eeaiM wear a gold thing like that, "cheek full of shiners," he aaid to him.'l', "must have in mev enough to buy m r shiinirs." Here he was, cold and beogry half the time, with no prosiiect before l.iia but to be always hungry, if not always cold; ami here were these hinrr, whi :h j would set him up in busim -t and give him a chance to help the h-K Johnny honestly wai te 1 to help the lot re. Why should he til d the owner of this creas when he had n -thing and the owner everything ? This fight continued un til it was time for the lad to slait out for his morning papers. All through ths busineM part of the fare no hi the battle still raged, and the newsboy's thoughts were so occupied with his new found riches that he alm-t. forgot to attend te his customers. At about tea, as he crossed City Hall Park, be noticed a gentleman in earnest conver sation with another gentleman, end as he passed he heard the words diamond cross epeken. Jehnny sleekened bis pace and listened. "The diemenda were all ef the first water," ihe gentleman eaid. "It was a present ta my wife from her father, and she ia terribly cut up at ths lui. I don'r suppose we shall ever find it." "Ydu will advertise it, won't you t" his companion inquired. "Of course,'' the gentleman replied, "bnt more than likely it has fallen into dishonest hsnds, snd nntWs b reward ia made equal to the value of the dia monds we shall probably never see them." "When the gentlemen separated the one who was interested in the diamonds entered the City Hall, and after little inquiry Johnny discovered that this gentleman held a very honorable office in the city department. After finding this out the lad took a turn around the Park to think it over sgain. "Granny Leeds eaid I was a of see tir ing and Misa Lee said I am t, he ar gued to Jiimaelf. "If I keep these shi ners dranny will be right and Miss Lee'U be wiong. She eaid the Lord was giving me a chance te make some thing of myself. Well, now, the ques tion ia, am I, or am I not a otlscouring. If 1 keep these shiners 1 am, u l give them up I ain't. Well, I ain't" and with these words en his lips, Johnny started for the gentleman's office. Noth ing daunted, he entered and presented himself at the desk. "Some ef yon folks have lost some thing, ain't vou?' he asked. "Will your honor tell me whatit is liko T' " It ia a gold crow set with dia NO. :). menus, ami Ife gentleman rlseae Iti J a a the relative poaftioaof the stones "It was lost eith r iu tha Academy of Mueic last night, or on the way to or from tbat plac " Johnny's coat was off in a ta inkling, and with a rip at the stitches ahicb confined his treasure, be took it out and put on bis coat again.
