Eiugaru Falls in Winter.

The Falls of Niagara present at this
time spectacle Of unusual magniticence.
On the American side, the spray has FORM
ed an immese mass of ice, extending
nearly across the foot of the Fall, and
more than an hundred feet in height.
From the summit of this mountain of ice,
the spray rises like smoke from volca-
no. The fall between Goat Island and
the Tower is encrusted with ice except a
space some twenty feet in width, midway
in its descent. Below, are numerous
and fantastic shapes Of ice-mounds, ca
verns, grottoes against the dark rock of
the island, hang iclcles thirty and forty
feet in length, Of the purest white and blue
the river itself flashing with ice broken
into innumerable lragments-and the rain
bow spanning the whole, present scene
surprising the widest dreams of the i'm
agina,ion.-Lockport Balance.

Erery Inch a Phihnttrpist.-The Phiadel-

livercd at the Chinese Museum, in that city, by
Mr.. George Munday, an eccentric itnerant prea.
cher, for the benefit of the poor. The subject was
"seli-deninl,' and the speaker, by way of showing
that his practice conforms to his preceps, inform
ed the audience that he had cashered his beaver
as a mere superhui,y, and that for the future, he
should always be seen bareheaded, inducing a
cool brain and a warm heart. This enabled him
to resort to the rgumentum ad hominem, or ra-
Their, I'D fGminun,, for no added that if he could
go without his cap in the exercise of what he
regards as his duties, the ladies might easily dis.
pense with their earrings and artificial flowers on
behalfof the distressed. Among the contributions
was handsome gold earring, which showed tina,
the appeal was not ineffective.

sandy plains on the south. All its rivers, rising

winter are never felt and where southern and
northern diseases are equally unknown. This is
the valley of the Columbia; q country, whose
every advantage is crowned by the advantage OF
its conlguration; by the union of all its parts, the
nacccssihihty of its borders and its single intro
erosion 10 the sea. Such acountry is formed for
union, wealth, and strength. IL can have but one
