nation We sorry to find that the instruction of the
Indians in Yucatan presents such aspect to
the flight of the white inhabitants from the interior II

Certainty of Progress.

We love to contemplate the period
when the true objects Of government and
association shall be more fully understood
and thoroughly acted upon. We cannot
spend an hour more pleasantly--perhaps.
considering il as stimulus TO action, we
might say, more profitably than in mnsing
upon the day which shall dawn upon a
more blessed and renovated state of man :
kind.
Look abroad over the world. What
scenes Of horror meet the view! Scenes
ofsorrow, deeds of death, are every where
beheld and committed. How pi,iable
limited the number of those who realize
the glorious truth, that all men are broth
ers! How lamentably small the number
of those who listen TO the Heavenly Proc,
lamation.' Peace on Earth and Good
will TO Mani
When shall longing eyes be greeted
with the dawning of the glorious day?--
let the crafty political economist tax his
prolific brain in the effort to deceive and
disappoint. Let heartess politicians par-
ade their patriotism and still preach down
the idea of more perfect state of our so,
cial relations. In vain!--They can no
more impede the progress Of Reform than
astraw can stay the waters, or a ajewsharp
drown the thunders, of the immortal Nj
agara. The world is ripe and ready for
Reform. They cannot scatter or destroy
the seeds Of progress that are planted
deep in the human soul. BY source eter.
nal they are watered, and they must grow
up and flourish.
Let the sovereign, yet fettered millions
of the Earth, too long crushed, yet not
too long to rise, prepare for the advent
Of brighter and better day. Though
long DELAYED, ii will surely COME. God
speed the era of UNIVERSAL BRoTHER.

Length ofthe Human Hair.

The ordinary length Of the hair of the
head, as deduced from its measurement in
W omen, ranges between 20 inches and a
yard, the latter being considered as un.
usually long. But in some instance the
length is much greater; as in the case OF
lady in whom, we are informed, it meas
ures two yards, and trails on the ground
when she stands erect. When, however,
hair is KEEP. closely shaved, it appears to
become persistent, and at the same time
increases in strength and bulk. 1t has
been calculated by curious investigator
(Withof) that the hair of the beard grows
at the rate of one line aud a.half in the
week; this will give length ofsix inches
and a.half in the course of year, and for
a man Of eighty years of age, twenty-sever
feet which have fallen before the edge
the razor. Such an amount ofgrowth ap'
pears in nowise remarkable, when we
learn from Eble that in the prince 9 court
at Eidam there is full length painting

long, so that, when engaged at work, be

YOUTH AND AGE.

g The following beautiful lines originally az
peared in the Etonian, periodical starte
'about twenty years ago, by the boys Of Etc
College. For truth, tenderness and melod
they are incompatible:
Il often think each tottering form
That limps along in lfe's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
As full of idle thought as mine!
And each has had its dream fjoy,
His own unequall'd pure romance;
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrills lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale Of youth.
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passions, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes they could tell of tender lays
At midnight penned in classic shades,
Of days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maids.
OF whispers in willing ear,
OF kisses on a blushing cheek;
Each kiss, eacll whisper, far too dear,
Our modern lips to give or speak;
Of passions too untimely crossed,
Or passions slighted or betrayed
Ofkindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossom but to fade.
OF beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we see them now!
And is it thus-is human love
So very light and frail thing9
And must youths brightest visions move
Forever on Times restless wing!
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk Of bliss,
And all the forms SO fair to sight,
Hereafter only come TO this!
Then what are earth's best visions worth,
five at length must lose them thus!
IF all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from us'
