It's Geology. John Herschel
once remarked that Geology was the
sublimest of all the sciences, except
Astronomy. Its study does indeed
show, in the most striking manner, the
vast power, wisdom and benevolence
of the Deity. Thus while it exalts and
fpuriiies our minds, it tends strongly to
increase our love and admiration for
the Great Creator.

II is agreed by Biologists that the

scripture were not such days as we
have now, caused by the revolution of
the earth upon ats axis, but that on the
contrary, they were long periois Of

A quaint writer of sentences says

and that the appearances evidently
caused by flowing water, which are
every where observed upon the high
est Mountains and in the interior of
continents, were not caused by the
flood at the time OF Noah, but by some
deIuge long antecedent to that time.
In going across Rock Prairie, Gu the
Delavan road TO Janesville, between
the Eastern side of the Prairie and EN-
eraId Grove, you cross consecu,ively
a great many high ridges, all very long,
oil about the same height, running in
the same direction and presenting the
same general appearances. Between
them the gravel and other indications
show clearly the results Of powerful
currents Of water. These ridges all
extend from the North West to the
South East. On the United States
road TO GAINESVILLE, between Sugar
Creek and Rock prairies, for distance
ofsix miles in the openings, the most
careless traveller could not have failed
TO observe on every side the effects of
powerful currents of water. On all
parts of Rock prairie, wherever any
wells have been dug, even to the dis
lance of an hundred feet below the sur
face, the ground has been found to be
composed Of the same kind of gravel,
as exists now at the bottom of brooks
and rivers, showing clearly by their
rounded and polished appearance, that
they have been worn smooth in cur
rents of water. The large, round and
loose stone, found here and there upon
our prairies, called by Biologists,
powders, came originally from the
north side of Lake Superior, as is clear
ly proven by Geology. They are the
same kind Of stone as now exists in
Mountains and in large quantities on
the northern shore Of that Lake-there
is none of that kind in any quantities
any where this side of there--and they
present the same rounded and worn
appearance, which the loose stones now
taken from Lake Michigan present.
The course of all our riversis in a
South Easterly direction, and the
whole surface Of the country is greatly
inclined to the South. Hence we con-
clude, that the surface Of Wisconsin
and probably that of the whole Missis-
sippi Valley, TO the depth of hundreds
of feet, is not now in the place where
it originally was, but has been transfer
red from the North West a great dis
lance and deposited by some mighty
and stupendous action Of nature, which
took place long an,ecedent to the histo-
ry Of man.
Perhaps it is owing to this diluvial
action, that the Valley ofthe Missis-
sippi, is so much more fertile than the
Atlantic Coast. There, the Mountains
have stood forever. They are the ey-
erlasting hills.
Hence we see too, that the Poet Bry-
ant, correctly described the appearance
of the praries, when he said,
10 they stretch
In airy undulations, far away,
AS ifthe ocean, in his genilest swell
Stood still, with all his rounded pillows fixed,
And motionless forever.'

THE School RooM.-Give 10 your
children a neat an clcanly, and tasteful
school, and they will feel n motive to
cultivate, not only in the room, but in
themselves, ueatness, order and deco
rum, while, at the same time, the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge becomes asso-
ciated in their minds with all which is
lovely and agreeable. Instead of this
the associations are too often with a
painful confinement on narrow board
within low, ragged and discolored
wall; amid nauseous vapors, exhaled
from three or four pair of lungs; SUR
rounded with dirty and mutilaIed
benches, with tattered quilts, and
cores and paper scraps, and things IN
nameable strewed along the aisles and
floor. And who would expectin such
place the cultivation of those habits
of neatness and decorum which you
you would cherish in your child as
his chief ornaments? habits, in con-
nection with which cultivated mind
shall yield you grateful fruit at the lips
Of your child, which shall be like APP
pies of gold in pictures of silver; but
without which the highest attainment
ia intellectual knowledge will become
as jewel of gold in swine's snout.

NOT BAD.
The following clever hit at the far
ces generally enacted in the precincts
Of the Jury Room, we take from the
Adventures Of Sleep Rider in an
Omnibus'--a series of clever sketches
BY the Man in the Claret Colored
Coat We'll wager the verac'ty of
My Son George againt that Of 'Corne-
Illus the Carpenter that the writer Of
the following has been on juries more
than once in his lifetime. How 9TH
erwise could he have SO exactly hit the
truth?
Did you ever serve on jury, my
dear sir? ! don't refer, now, to a cor
oner's jury: nor jury in the criminal
courts-thesc are well enough in their
way-but TO the eases where character
and property are discussed; where JUS
ticc in matters civil is confded TO the
discretion Of 'speerS.
True, the theory of trial by jury, is
beautiful conceit A citizen of the
United States 10 be tried by his peers!
1T look vastly wellaon paper: there
is something in the very sound that
excites ones American feelings. But,
my dear sir, theory is one thing
practice another.
And why? Because, sir, the word
peer is word Of very ambiguous sig
MITIGATION in this free and glorious re-
public.
The theory saith that litigation be-
tween merchants involving thousands
of pounds shall be arbitrated by mer-
chants possessing thousands of pounds:
the mechanics shall mcte out justice to
mechanics: gentlemen of leisure TO
gentlemen of leisure: and so on. And
indeed this theory. carried out would
secure the end and aim ofjuslIce.
But look at the practie. The mer-
chant, the gentleman Of wealth. what
ever may be his vocation, disregards
the summons Of the Court 10 attend as
a Juror, and pays his fine because he
can afford it. The poor man on the
contrary, who has quite as little leisure
as his rich neighbor, and can far less
afford TO spare that little, obeys the
summons because he nevertheless has
no money 10 pay his fine.
The result is obvious enough. The
Jury frequently not being the peers of
the parties litigant; and unable not
from a deficiency Of sense but from a
diversity of occupation, to Judge intel
lightly of the relative rights of these
parties-meet in the jury room and
look at their watches.

The Rich AND THE PooR.-Let
ii not be beloved that the man Of pow
erty himself is excluded from happi-
ness. Mediocrity and Indulgence fire.
quently procure for him advantages
that opuiepce and grandeur are obliged
tn acknowledge. The soul Of the nee
dy man, always on action, never ceas-
es TO form desires, while the rich and
the powerful are frequently in the af-
flicting embarrassment of either not
knowing what to wish for, or else of
desiring those objects which it is i'm
possible to obtain. The poor mans
body, habituated to labor, knows the
sweats Of repose; this repose OF the
body is the most troublesome fatigue
TO him who is weared with idleness.
Exercise and frugality procure for the
one, vigor, health and contentment;
the intemperance and sloth of the 9TH
er furnish him only with disgust and
infrmities. Indulgence sets all the
springs Of the soul to work; it is the
mother of industry; from its bosom a.
rise genius, talents and merit, TO which
opulence and grandeur pay their hon.
age. In short, the blows of fate find
in the poor man flexible reed, who
bends without breaking.
