Public speakers and writers too often throw
out the phrases " misguided phiIanthropists,
humane zealots." If those who venture up
on sarcasms or loose accusations, should be ask
ed to designate the evil which the order Of PHI
tanthropists have at any time done, they ould,
we believe, be much at loss for facts. But
the good which that order have actually achiev-
ed, and the additional benefits which they might
have comprised for mankind, if they had not
been blindly or selfshly opposed, could be east
ly shewn, though not in all the variety and ex-
tent. The amelioration of the general fate and
treatment of the Indians and slaves in both
Americas, the abolition of the slavetrade, the
suppression of bondage in our free States, the
propagation of Christianity among the Heath
en-most of the foundations of charity and
schemes for the rectfcaton of social discords,
ARE their work. No one. great public convu-
sion,-no real misfortune to any classes of men,
no retrogradation of the human mind or HUI
man hapPinesss-can be fairly ascribed or trac-
ed to their impulse or instrumentality.

One the strangest problems of our nexpl-
cable nature is the choice of evil and the reiec-
ton of good, even after long experience has
proved that evil and misery are uniformly sy-
nonymous. Virtue, it is true, does not always
exempt from sorrow, but crime must ever be
wretchedness. Hope loses its balsam, and fear
acquires keener sting; the present is anxiety,
the past remorse, and the future is despair

BIG BONE LICK.

Siliman's Journal of Science gives an ac- |
count of this wonderful spot in Kentucky, stu |
ated about twenty miles from Cincinnati, and |
two from the Ohio river. In number of pla- |
ces, the earth is very soft to great depth, and
for several rods in extent, caused by salt springs
and the hard ground In this vicinity is destitute
of vegetation, owing to the salt with which it |
is impregnated. Vast herds of animals formerly
frequented these places, Ito lick the saltish !
earthly and when the country was first settled, !
their trails or paths extended from the Lick for |
miles in several directions. Vast numbers per- I
ished in the quagmire, and it is probable that |
many were destroyed in battles between those |
of the same or of different species. Here are
now found immense quantities of the bones of
the mastodon, Cor mammoth) elephant, buffalo,
elk, and of other animals now unknown. The
bones are generally under ground, and many
of them lie in an extensive layer from three to
eleven feet below The surface, and in the dry
and solid earth. These bones must have been
buried under the earth by some great inunda-
ton, which occurred perhaps thousands of years
ago; they are in state of entire preservation,
and many are completely petr6ed, or changed
to stone. Only small part of the ground con-
tanning bones has been dug over, and enormous
bones will continue to be found here for centu-
ries to come. Thirty-two of the grinder teeth
of the mastodon and elephant were found in a
space SIX feet square, at the depth OF three feet
one of the teeth weighed fourteen pounds
We learn from the Encyclopedia and other
works, that remains of animals birds, reptiles,
&c, are found imbedded in rocks, in alluvial
soils, and in caves, in Europe, Asia, and Amer
lea. Bones of The rhnoceros, elephant, hyena,
and other quadrupeds which are now confined
TO VAIN countries are found in the cold regions
of the north, and the remains of about fifty sps-
cies of land quadrupeds have been discovered,
which were different from any living species
now known to exist on the globe these fifty
species, including some of huge size, have
been examined by the celebrated naturalist
Cuvier, and he believes that they are extinct.
1t was objected to his conclusions, that the
present existing races might be varieties of the
fossil ones, having changed their forms, &c, in
long series of ages, in consequence of altera-
tions in the climate and other circumstances !;
but Culver fully proved that no such modifica-
tons had taken place that the ancient species
did not differ in any of the essential parts, from
the modern ones He examined the ancient
paintings and sculptures of animals from Egypt,
which are the Oldest in existence, as well as the
mummied specimens from the same country,
such as the cat, ibis, dog, monkey, crocodile,
bull, &C., and could not find the slightest diff
ference between those, which existed three
thousand years ago, and the corresponding ami
mails of the present day-HGmpshtre Gazette.

OF the skin are personal cleanliness-regular

temper Ii any one of these be neglected, the
skin and complexion will invariably suffer.
1t is only by preserving the skin free from
all Impurities. and thus enabling it to perform
with freedom, its important functions. that anv
external application is at all useful. To this
end there IS nothing SO well adapted as nure
