the marks of black lead pencils, is used for various
purposes in South America, being formed into bot

this substance burn with great spendour.- Any
person may satisfy himself Of this by applying a
candle to a small piece of rubber. 1t is said to be
superior to leather for Shoes by of its elas

Indian rubber, called also caoutchOuc, is obtained
by the Indians from tree that grows in Brazil and
other parts OF South America This tree. on being
wounded yields milky juice, which becomes thick
on exposure to the air. The juice is spread clay,
moulded into the form OF bottles, shoes, BIRDS sc.
in successive layers. until it is sufficiently thick
The exterior is ornamenled by various means and
then it is suspended over smoke, which hardens and
coors it. The clay is afterwards broken to pieces
and taken out. Caoutchouc is used for vsrnish, and
it is said that cloth vanished with the fresh juice is
rendered perfectly impervous 10 water. When this
substance is exposed to heat it readily meIts, and
loses its properties. BY boiling it Tor some time,
and then pressing two pieces together, they may be
united as closely as if they formed piece. SIEVE

Diversity Of features IN the human face.-It is
a very evident proof oil the adorable wisdom Of
Cod, that although the bodies of men are so con-
formed to each other in their essential parts, yeE
there is SO great difference 10 their external sp-
pearance, that they may be easily and inlaby dis
dngnisbed Among so many millions OF meny
there not two perfectly alike. Each has some
thing peculiar which distinguishes him from all
others, either IN his lace, voice, or manner Of
speaking. The variety in faces is the more aston
ishlng, because the pats which compose the human
lace are few in number and are disposed in every
person according to the same plan. IL all things
had been produced by blind chance, the faces Of
men must nearly resemble each other as eggs
laid by the same bl,d-balls cast in the same mould;
or drops of water out Of the same bucket. But as
this is not the case, must admire The in6niIe
wisdom OF the Creator-which, in disposing the
features in admirable manner, has evidently
had the happiness of man in view. For, il they
resembled each other perfectly, so that they could
not be distinguished from each, it would occasion ala
in6nty of inconvenencies, mistakes, and decep-
tons in society. No man could ever be sure 6f
his property. Thieves and cut.throats would run
no risk OF being discovered, if they could not be
known again by the features Of their face, by
the sound of their voice. Adultery-theft-and
other crimes, would go unpunshed, because the
guilty could scarcely be discerned We
should be every moment exposed to the malice OF
wicked and envous men: and we could not guard
against an infnity of mistakes frauds, and misde-
meanors And wha: uncertainty would there be
in judiciary proceedings, in sales, transfers. bargainss
and commerce? What confusion in commerce
What frauds and bribery in respect to Witnesses
Finally, the uniform and perfect smude OF faces
would deprive human society OF great part of its
charms, and considerably diminish the pleasure
which men find in converting with each other
The variety of features constitutes a part of the
plan of the DIVINE government, and is striking
proof of the tender of God towards us for IT
is manifest that not only the general structure OF
the body, but also the disposition of its particular
paris have been executed with the greatest wisdom.
Every where we behold cariety, connected with
uniformity whence result the order, proportions,
and beauty Of the human body Let all who con-
slider this subject admire the wise arrangements Of
the great Creator.-Sturm.

head out of the window and saw him running towards
her with all possible speed in his new Disguise with
the meaning of which she was soon made acquaint-

but also another, containing upwards of Fifty golden
