THE CORAL INSECT.

Mr.. Darwin, on visiting the Coral Islands in the
Pacific, and witnessing the immense results Of
the labors of the r1yriads, Of submarine archi-
tects, thus tells his impressions Of the scene;
81 can hardly explain the cause. but there Is
to NV mind considerable degree Of grandeur in
the view Of the outer shores OF those lagoon IS
lands. There is a simplicity in the barrier-like
beach, the margin Of green bushes and tall CO.
cOanuis, the solid flat Of coral rock. strewed here
and there with great fragments. and the line Of
furious breakers. all rounding away towards eth
er hand. The ocean, throwing its waters over
the broad reef, appears an invinciblc. all power
full enemy, vet we see j; resisted and even con-
quered BY means which a; first seem most weak
and Inefficient. II l. not thai tie ocean spares
the rock Of coral; the great fragments scattered
over the reef, and accumulated on the beach,
whence the tall cOcOanut springs plainly beSpeak
the unreieuting power Of its waves. Nor are
there any periods Of rrPOse granted. The long
swell caused by the gentle but steady action Of
the trade wind always blowing in one direction
over the wide area, causes breakers, which even
exceed in violence those Of our temperate re-
gions, and which never cease to rage. IL is i'm
possible 20 behold these waves without feeling
conviction that an island, thOuCh built Of the
hardest rock let IL be pcrphyrY. rautc or uarz,
would ultimately yicld an b. d,n0 i~lri by such
Irresistible forces Yet these low, insignificant
coral inlets, stand and are victorious; for here
another power as antagonist TO the former, takes
part in the contest. Tie organic forces separate
the atoms Of carbonate of lime one BY one from
the fOaming breakers, and unite them into sy-
metrical structure Let the hurricane rearup is
thousand huge fragments; yet what will this tell
against the accumulated labors Of myriads Of
architects al work night and day, mouth after
month"; Thus do we see the soft and gelatin
- & a. A.. al
the vital laws, cOnquering the great mechanical
power Of the wave Of an ocean, which neither
the art of man, nor the iuanimats works 81 ma
ture, could successfully resist"

TRUrH Mosr SOLEMN The London
Court Journal makes the following remarks
on Tom Thumb. the Dwarf; Strange are
the honors accorded to this little being whose
only recommendation is that nature has
treated him so ILL., We can conceive that
idlers should repair to the place where this
little deformity is exhibited to while away
an bali hour in satisfaction of a frivolous
curiosity; but when we hear the tales rela-
ted by the man who gains his livelihood by
exhibiting this libel on humanity, Of the
receptions given to General Tom Thumb
by great European po,entates, We are struck
with astonishment at rejecting on this
strange freak Of fortune. How many men,
gifted with natures choicest bounties, gen
ius, worth and bravery. languish in the
shade, while this unfortunate child sold by
his parents for public exhibition, is loaded
with favors and caresses by the great

ELoQUENoE.-The best style, as Cole,
ridge has remarked, is that which forces us
to think OF the subject without paying at
tendon TO the particular phrases in which il
is clothed. The true excellence of style is
to make us feel that words are absorbed in
things, and TO leave upon the mind strong
impression of the sense and the tenor of
reasoning, rather than a broken and piece
meal recollecton of particular expressions
and images; the result, on the contrary, if
not the intention, Of too much pulpit ora
tory, is to fill the ear with multitude Of

ment or exhortation upon the understanding.

NEVER Grow oLD.-The best men, SAYS
a profound writer, are those who preserve
the boy in them as long as they live. Age
should not destroy the child. The child is
the original. and man is merely a super
structure upon the boy. 1t is an mfortu-
nate sign for mans happiness, when he
has forgotten his boyish feelings. And vet,
how rarely We find it otherwise! Parents,

Tombs Of the Chinese.

In the south Of China, the natives form
no regular cemeteries or churchyards, but
the tombs Of the dead are scattered all over
the sdes Of the hills, generally in most
pleasant situations. TIE more wealthy
generally convey their dead 10 a considera
bic distance, and employ a kind OF fortune
teller, whose duty it is to find out the most
P.oper resting place. This individual goes
with the corpse 10 the place appointed, and

selection Of the spot, as well as the choice

Chinese have all these points settled before

principal merchants in China went to call

Canton, tray was brought in with several
kinds OF earth upon il, which the old man
examined with great care, and then fixed
on one to accompany his remains in the
grave. A particular kind Of situation on

the grove is to be made, is considered as

ceremonies above alluded TO, with a com.
pass IN his hand, settles the direction IN

point Of great importance. An intelligent

There is no specialize which nature can
offer to us more beautiful than the sunset OF

unlike the not less lovely pcrishing of the
day in our own land, when the sunbeams
linger on the green fields and gushing

smiles, long after the pale. timid stars have

Life's ever changing weather. .a
There. by the homestead, stands an oak
y. That when boy ! planted
And how | love the cooling shade, -
That brave old tree has granted;
And now, tho | can scarcely see -
Its summer leaves above me,
| like to sit, and think of her; .,..r
Who did SO fondly love me.
I'm growing old! Pm growing old! ai
They churchyard beckons to me,
It's warning voice is whispering; ~
'Ihou'lt soon be carried thro' me,
Aud near yonder waterfall, af5
BY her green grave wen lay thee ~
And may never ending Joy,
For this last trial pay thee -.
