THE SAkRATu


None out those who are duly impressed with re.
llgious sentiment respect the Sabbath. We are
taught among other reasons for respecting that
day, especially these two First, that it is the
proper time to lay aside the cares of the world, and
to abstain from all unnecessary business that it is
time to set apart for self examination, for consid
erng the certainty of DEATH and the uncertainty of
the hour of its coming, and for realizing the awful
responsibility which is comprised in the single
word eternity. Secondly i've are taught that the
Sabbath is to be respected for its beneficial effects
in our social relations. On this day the garments
of labor are laid aside and those of neatness and
comeliness are put on. We meet in the social
places of worship, each one observing the decen-
ces which the occasion calls for; and each one
being careful of his own self-respect as the best IL
tie of respect from others. We are further taurht
there is tranquility and rational pleasure IN being
engaged in duties which the wise and the yirtuous
have agreed to regard and honor as amonr the
first and highest which men can perform No one
ever yet regretted that his early days had been
given to these duties; but many have lamented in
the decline of life that they were not Attending
public worship in youth, Is the foundation of n
habit which grows stronger and stronger as life
goes on, TIL at length one is i'll at ease with himself
who attempts to disregard it. But there is ra.
tional limit in all these things Though the Sab
bath is day of rest and of pious duty, 1t should
be, also, a welcome and grateful day. Surely.
TO the young it ought not to be day of severity
and prvatlon, and consequently of disgust

JULIA"
THE ROMANCE OF GEOLOGY.-No. II

Considering the Geological Record as history
OF the world previous to the existence of Man, it
is necessary TO divide it into ages or eras so that
we may have, as it were, a chronology for it for
OF course we can here have no reckoning by years,
as we have in ordinary history. This can be con-
venlently done by consideration of the various
rock systems which constitute the crust of the earth
each set or system beng chiefly composed of some
distinguishing material, as chalk, red sandstone,
coal, slate, &c, and at the same time containing
different remains Of plants and animals These
systems, therefore, form a chronological table, to
when we refer the various plants and animals which
we wish to describe, as well as any other crcum-
stances which may be thought worthy of notice.
ihey are named as follows ]. Gnelss System.
= Mica-Schist System. 3. Clay Slate System.
q. uIauwacke System. 3. Silurian System. g.
Old Red Sandstone System T. Carboniferous
system {. New Red Sandstone System. 9. Co.
lite System. TO- Chalk System. II. Tertiary
System ~ Superficial Deposites. Each of these
systems consisting Of many beds of rock, may be
fairly SAID to represent space of time for each
must nave required a certain time to be formed, and
from palpable appearances, that time was in all in
stances of long duration. The whole Of these eras
being put together, would OF course make up one
enormous space; and yet it is but part, though
large one of the earth's history. Before the lay
ing down Of the Gneiss system, or first stratifed
rocks, there is no saying how long the globe had
existed. There has also been time since the ter
mination of the rock systems; and during this Pc
Rod all the present tribes of plants and animals
have come into existence, and have gone through
various stages of progress.
The first great fact respecting the earth in what
we may call the geological ages is, that, as far as
we can see, it was, in It's main features, such
world as we find it to be IN our own time 1t con-
sisted of sea and land; there were an atmosphere
and light; and animals lived and died, many of
them preying upon each other, as they now do
Rains, winds, and rivers, operated them as now, in
wearing down the land and forming out OF the ma
terials new strata in the bottom of the sea. The
operations by which mountain ranges were formed,
lavas distributed and disturbances effected in the
sratifed rocks, were in like manner identical in
character with the effect of volcanoes in the pres.
ent day. There were indeed some differences,
though not such as to effect the general case For
example, the in the earliest ages were much
more extensive than they are now this is inferred
from the vast extent of surface at present occupied
by these rocks, which evidently required equally

POTATO JELLY,
BENZ. ATWOOD.

The potato may with ease be made into rich
and nutritious jelly, and the process should be gen.
orally known. 1t is as follows:
Let couple of good-szed, mealy potatoes, be
washed, peeled, and grated; throw the pulp thus
procured into basin of water and stir it well let
1t stand few minutes, and a sufficient quantity of
starch will have fallen for the purpose required
pour off the water, and pour on boiling water, stir
ring the starch while, and it will soon and sud-
denly pass to state of jelly. The only nicely re-
quied is to be careful that the water is absolutely
boiling, otherwise the change will not take place.
On comparing this jelly with that obtained from
Bermuda, difficulty in discriminating between
The two will be apparent. The difficulty, however,
becomes more obvious, on applying sugar to sweet
en- the ellies, for then the superior flavor of the
potato jelly is at once perceived, and 1t is equal if
not superior, also, to arrow-root in its nutncious
properties

extensive seas for their deposition It is also owl
dent from the character Of these ancient rocks
that much higher temperature existed at the time
OF their formation than what is now experienced
upon earth; and it further appears at later time,
that heat now confined to the tropics was then
dliiused into the medium and even polar ATTITUDES
Still, as has been said, the world was in the main
as it now is. And of this, the memorials are in
some Instances extremely curious. We find, for
example, extensive surfaces Of strata in quarries
marked by the same little wavy ridges which may
at thls day be seen on any sandy beach after the
eoD OF tide. These were formed exactly as such
wavy ridges are now formed. What is now plat
form OF hard rock was originally sandy beach,
along which the sea rose and fell under the inau-
ence of tides. A peculiarly gentle agitation of the
water when 1t was shallow, produced the ,ipple-nnrk
unere, as 1t still produces it on the shores of our
seas. The surface so marked being hardened be-
fore the next tide quantity of new sand brought
over 1t did not oblterate the marks, but merely
covered them, and formed new layer above. Now
TINS new layer might Of course be expected to be
marked underneath by the wavy ridges of the sub
jacent layer; and such is actually tho case. Quar-
rymen, digglns'up sandstone, formed unnumbered
years ago, find upper layers invariably presenting
perfect casts OF the ripped surface on which they
rest. More than this-one may often remark, as he
walks after shower along n sandy beach,, that the
drops of rain have ptted il all over with little holes
each having the sand raised like the lips of cup
around 1t. Now these holes have likewise been
observed upon rpple-marked rock-surfaces in quar-
res, being of course memorials of showers which
fell Immediately after the sand now forming the
rock was laid down in soft state. Nor is this all
for in some of these rock-surfaces, the hollows
beng found to have their lips higher on one side
than on the otIori as happens when rain is driven
by WIND In particular direction, we have, it may
be said, memorials of the wind which blew, and
of the point of the compass from which it blew at
the time when the rain fell upon the tablets We
have here, it must be admitted the most curious as
well as convincing proofs that the meteorology of
the present era is analogous to the meteorology of
the inconcevably remote times under our notice,
whle as yet there were no human eyes to note
times and Seasons Chambers .Uiscellanu

IMPROVEMENT OF CLArrr AND SANDY SOIL.

IMPROVEMENT OF CLAYEY AND SANDY SOILS
old Boussingault knows thing or two, (says
Abraham Smith, in the Western Cutivator) but
he has not satisfied the practical farmer how he
might supply the defect of clay in sandy soil, and
sand in cuyey soil May | venture to hint in
homespun language? 1t is well known that there
are certain vegetable matters that are quickly de-
composed, us green clover green oats, &C.; and
others slow of decomposition, such as ripe timothy,
rye straw, &c. 1t is also known that the defect in
sandy soils is, principally that the land lacks ad-
hcsion, and is too quick conductor of heat and air,
while the reverse is the defect in clay. Hence the
remedy is indicated. With clay soil, pillow in
hard woody substances, as ripe timothy, and pillow
in the fall, On soil too sandy pillow under green
manure, and pillow at the time that the vegetable
matter is fullest of sap, say clover in blossom, or
oats Just beginning to head. Chemists can tell us
why and wherefore, and practical farmer may see
the effect, if he will try

THE POTATOE DISEASE.

ITS CAUSE ANDTHE REMEDY
Mr. HoLcoMB,-lf you think the following
worth an insertion in your paper please insert i
for the benefit of the agrculturists in Rutland and
Addison counties
In reading different authors on the disease of
the Potato, have come to the conclusion that r.
l.. Pel, of Ulster county N. Y, has hit on the
cause of the disease, Of the Potato rot and has
found out the remedy,
He says, "The disease is caused by an insect or
fungus ;-appears the tubers and the conse-
Quent decay is rapid" NJ. d. Martin expresses
the same opinion, and other authors too numerous
to mention corroborate the above statement.
The remedy is as follows :--When planting YOUR
Potatoes, put unleached ashes, or bone dust. or
Poudrett, Plaster, fine salt, or Guano, in every
hill, and it will prevent the rot Either of the above
remedies proves preventive.
The loss OF the Potato crop only in the State of
New York, was estimated, in 1884, at about one
million of dollars. think from the best informa-
ton we can obtain through this State, Vermont
has sustained the same ratio of loss-owing to
want OF correct information on the subject.
Yours, with respect,
BENZ ATwooD.
