WONDERS OF GEoLoeY.-More than
nine thousand different animals have been
changed into stone. The races or ge-
nera of more than half of these are now
extinct. not being at present known in a
living state upon the earth. From the
remains Of some of these ancient animals
they must have been larger than any liv-
ing animals now known upon the EARTH
The Megatherium, (great beast, says
Buckland, from skeleton. nearly perfect,
now in the museum at Madrid, was per-
fectly colossal. With head and neck
like those Of the Sloth, its legs and feet
exhibit the character of an Armadillo and
the Anteater. It's f,re-feet were ayard
IN length, and more than twelve inches
wide, terminated by gigantic claws. Its
thigh bone was nearly three times as thick
as that Of the elephant, and its tail (near-
est the body) six feet in circumference.
Its tusks were admirably adapted for cut
ling vegetable substances, and it's general
structure and strength were intended to fl
il for digging in the ground for roots. ON
which il principally fed.-- Buckand's
Bndgewater Treatise.

AWKWARD MISTAKE. "A fine stone
church was lately built in Missouri, upon
the facade of which, stone-cutter was
ordered to cut The following as an inscrlp-
ton: ANY house shall be called the house
of PRAYER" He was referred for accn-
racy 10 the verse of Scripture in which
these words occur, but unfortunately he
transcribed, to the scandal of the society,
the, whole verse: any house shall be
called house Of prayer. but ye have
made it den of thieves"

in the course of his sermon, and when
near the close, raised his voice to rather a
higher pitch, aud said, "fIow is 1t that the
Almighty gloriieth in the forgiveness of

FAREwELL--a long farewell to thee,
My own, nv native land
Now would to God that were free
Upon the rugged strand!
If but one last fond look to bless
Thy hills and deep blue sky,
And all my love for thee confess:
Then lay me down and die.
But now | am alone, and none
VIII hear when | am dead:
Perchance ere sets that glorious Sun,
Ny spirit shall be fled!
| watch him yet and family smile
In death, TO think that he
Will rise SO bright upon that isle.
Where may never be!
Ny Country while bless thee, how
My feelings in me swell:
Alas, never knew till now
/ loved thee half so well!
But when alone among strange men,
When friends forget and false ones Gee;
Something the heart must love, and then
1t can but turn to thee
Farewell, farewell the suns last CLEANS
Are sinking in the sea:
Along the shore the sea-bird screams,
Unheard, unrocked by me:
/ feel my ebbing breath decay,
And fail my darkening sight;
Yet ere pass away, away,
My native land.-good night
