Religious Belief of Boston's Literati. "Tomploton," tho Boston correspondent of tho Hartford Com an, writing of the religion of Boston literati in his last letter, says: Until of lato almost everybody known in Iloston in lottors or in pnblle lifo, was a Unitarian. Of tho flvo minis ters to England which Boston has fur nished in this gonoration Lawreuco, Lverclt, Bancroft, Adams and Motloy all wcro of this persuasion. Mr. Law renco, howover, I novo heard, had not tho moral courago to attend tho Unitarian Chapel in London in tho faco of tho pro j ml ice against Unitarians among tho aris tocracy of that capital. Not so Mr. Ad ams, as you may imagine Mr. Banoroft, I think, renounced Unitarlauism somo timo during his resldouco in Now York, Daniel Webster attended Brattlo strcot Unitarian Church until its standing com mittco offended him by soiling his pew for uon-paymcnl of taxes, when ho took it) his connection with St. Paul's (Epis copalian). Ho was claimed by somo of the Congregatlonnllsts, also, after his death.

To oppreeiato tho truth and beauty of the following lines from the pen of Whit tier, it is neeessarv to know tho circum stances nudor which they were written. A friend of Whittier's youth, who had spent much of his lifo ou the Illinois prairies, called on tho poet at his homo in Amesbury, and together they recalled the scenes of their childhood, aud briefly re counted the course of their after life, and Whittier seemed much affected by tho al lusion of his friend to his prairie homo, where a wife, children, aud a grandchild " Constance " ) awaited his return, and on being asked for his autograph, replied: " Call ou your way to tho cars, and I will hiuul it to you," Tho friend called aud received the following, Tho Hues show the delicate texture of tho poet's heart, the teudrllls of which were eidoutly stretch ing after somothiug beyond his reach: Tim Jrr, thai Utw w lutt into Sow u, lkVi1, .. they louuj tut, .till .Ion. hu vrlfr, nor i hll.l. nor urnJchllJ tlr.r, Ar mlue, Ihv tir.rl lo cli.tr More l.nrul thou: villi tialr Um ct.jt Tbui uitue. c.n.t lit tlij f.uoj .tr.jr To wlwr Ihj lllll IVn.l.nc Th rtlne rlprlft lu th brute IV r our lllo lirr to ll.p 111) uuiic 1.

The Reason Why. Llttlo May lives near our crook, and ofton sho comes down to tho moadow to talk with hor big brother, when ho's at work. He's a vory knowing man, I can toll you, for tho reason that ho keeps his oyes mul oars opotl wneu uos onioi uoors; nnd, when ho is iudoon, ho tllloull his odd niomouts wlin reaumg. vtcn, uoy camo iu crying to him, tho other day, to toll him how she had broken her mothor's beautiful china vaso. Tho voso was vory cold; and May poured hot wator iuto it. Tho poor child could not soo how so sim ple u thing should havo brokon tho doli eato china into pieces. Ho tried to explain to hor how nil tlio liny parucios oi uio chiuu had drawn closer together with tho cold; whilo, if tho vaso had beou standing by tho tiro thoy would havo moved a little farther apart from each other; for tho cold contracts, whilo heat expands. (This you littlest folks will read about lu your Nat ural Philosophy, somo timo). Now, I being a Jaok-lu-tho-Pulplt, could seo that tho vaso was ovor so littlo smnllor by standing in tho cold, aud that pouring in tho hot water would mako it oxpand too quickly, orcauso unequal expansion by tho boiling wutcr expanding tho inner surface boforo tho outsido had caught tho idea, thus causing it to break. But May, being only n little girl, did not havo eyes sharp enough to see this, though thoy aro as bright as bright can bo; tho difforonco in tho size of tho vaso iu tho cold or in tlio heat is so very, very small! But sho w ill remember now not to pour hot water iuto cold; china or glass, or cold water into hot china or glass, unless (uow this is the great secret tho big brothor told to Mary) sho first puts iuto tho vaso, or whatever it may uo, a silver spoon. Tho metal, he said, draws tho tlmt shook of tho heat or cold to itsolf, and thus tho glass will not bo brokon. Was ho right? Fivm "Jtick-in-thd-Ptilpit," in St. Nicholas lor March. Tim Sua Mouse.

A recent book of travels In Asia, by Dr. Henderson, contains an interesting statement of his exporlouoe ou high altitudes. A few days out from Lo thoy had to cross a pass, tho Obaug-la, 18,000 feet high. In so doing, almost every ono suf f erred from tho rarity of tho atmosphere; in one caso tho palso went up to 100, tho respira tions to twenty-two per minute. Somo com plained of a feeling of suffocation, and could uot sleep ; hut a few deep Inspirations relieved this feeling. Intense hoadacho was complained of, with great prostration of mind and body; the temper became irritable, and there was most distressing nausea. Iu bouic, tho lips be oauio bluo, and in another caso tho temperature, as Indicated by tho thermometer, sank one or two degrees, booh is the exceedingly interest ing account given of the effects of great rarin cation of the atmosphere, by Dr. Henderson. Wo may mention that hero the barometer stood at 15.73, aud the thermometer at 01 Far uheit, aud water boiled at 181 Furenheit, Nxw HoxMAhiNO Macuink. A novel aud most lugenious machine was exhibited iu oper ation at tho recent monthly meeting of the Franklin Instltuto, viz : Heyl's machine for making paper boxes. This invention performs, with marvellous celerity, all the movements of tho human operator, and turns out boxes of any desired sizes ready for use. The inventor at first designed a neat machine for pasting the different parts of a box together, as is now done by hand labor ; but, by this machine, he has superseded his former invention, by one In which the parts of the box are held together by a wiie, which, at the propor time, is made to pnncturo tho card, aud is instantly locked down upou It. Tho machine Is capable of turn ing out from CO to 100 boxes per minute, ac cording to tho size of the box, Tho machines, though but recently brought to publlo notice, are alroady kept busily at work filling orders, and there cau bo little doubt that they will bring about a speedy revolution in the box ade.
