BADLY BELATED.

The author of Ship and Shore, Rev Walter
Cotton, mentions in his work a restless out
of-place sailor, of whom he remarks, that on
the day of the final resurrection he will doubt
less be seen coming out of somebody else's
grave. We thought of this singular illustra-
ton just now, on hearing of the remark of a
drunken fellow who had been placed by his
companions in coffin, and conveyed to a
neighboring church-yard, and there left alone
with his watchers until he should awake from
his maudlin trance. When he awoke, after
three or four hours, the wags who were peep
ing and listening behind broad gravestone,
saw him raise his head slowly up, look vague
" around him at the silent monuments, ex-
claiming as he did so: ''Well, I'm either the
first one riz, OF else I'm dreadfully belated. -

CAVE IN TEXAS.

The Austin Democrat learns from Mr.. j.
C. Lee, that cave was discovered short
time since by Capt. Harrell, on the dry prong
of the Brushy, The chamber of this cave is
about thirty feet wide, by sixty or seventy
long. The height is not stated. The OPEN
inc of the top is only large enough to admit
tie body of man, and the distance from this
opening 10 the bottom of the cave is about
thirty feet. Mr.. Lee and several others vls-
ted it few weeks since, and found the shaft
OF large spear with an iron feril al the bot
tom, and a rattle-snake. A similar cave was
found about three miles above Austin, on the
west bank Of the Colorado, about ten years
since. These caves were probably formed
by streams of rain water, which penetrating
creyices in soft limestone rocks, have gradu-
ally worn away low narrow caverns, which
communicated by subteranean passages with
the copious fountains, like Barton's Spring,
snd the ComaI, which gushes out in large
streams at the foot ofthe hills, between broad
layers of limestone.

SUDDEN RISE AND FALL OF
GREATNESS.

With the fate of Cardinal Woolsey, may
be associated the rise and elevation Of Men
zikon, who, from being the son of a common
soldier, became the favorite of Gear Peter the
First, and the conqueror of Charles the 18th,
in defeating Gen. Lewenhaut. He was af-
forwards created Senator and Regent, and
became so rich in lands, that he could travel
from Riga in Livenia, to Derwent on the
frontiers of Persia, and sleep every night on
an estate belonging to himself
His Yassals consisted of one hundred and
fifty thousand families. He became chief
minister to Peter the First, to Cathar;ne the
Czarina, a1d TO Peter the Second, and was
pow, r,ul that Kings courted his favor
From this power and splendor he was strip
ped in one night of all his authority and in
duence, Invested of all his honors and wealth
and form being the greatest of subjects sunk
to the lowest, and was banished to Eeresof
One Of his daughters mended his clothes, aud
washed bis linen, while the other who had
been bethrothed to the Car Peter the Sec
ond, undertook the care of his kitchen.

WHAT A POOR MAN DID THROUGH
PERSEVERANCE

Some years ago, an individual we'll known
in this city, concluded to try the plan of bet
| tering his condition by adventuring to the
western country. Leaving his family behind
him, he babe farewell to Trenton one fine
morning. with little else than a light heart
and good constitution, in the way Of cap
ltal commenced his journey. IL few weeks
he found himself in the city of ST. Louis,
without solitary acquaintance In the place.
and bat a solitary shilling in his pocket
this he reserved to pay for an obscure lodg-
ing, and went supperless to bed. The next
morning he went to look for work, and soon
got contract to dig well. On this Job he
cleared several dollars, and we next find him
building mill dam for some person near ST..
Louis which he accomplished with his own
labor, to the decided advantage Of his hither-
to lean purse
BY thus turning his hands to whatever they
could find to do, without regard TO the hum
blencss of the occupation, our adventurer re-
turned after an absence of year, with sew
en- hundred dollars in clear cash, and no I'M
paid debts to harrasS his ear. Ina short time
he again sought his new home and arrived at
st. Louis in the heat of copper mine mania
which bad sprung up from the discoveries
about Lake Superior. Without friends, with
out education, without experience in the
natter, he put out FOR the mining regions to
see what could be done by such person as
himself. In an open boat he infinitely explo-
red the rockbound coast of the mighty lake
for several hundred miles, and after an alb
sence OF some years, returned again to Tren-
ton with several thousand dollars in hard cash
and with deeds in his pocket that show him
TO be the owner of some of the west.
With the knowledge he had thus acquired
by patient asiduity, our whiieom we'll digger
went TO bennington, in this state, and sue
ceeded in instilling new life into the owners
of the well known copper mine of that place,
and in few months sold out his interest in
that concern at an advant Of over ten thou
sand dollars. A few days since he returned
to Missouri, where he has stores, lead and
copper mines, &C., all in the successful tide
of operation. All these results have been
achieved by an individual sagacity, aided by
unyieldiDg perseverance.
Meanness and parsimony have had no share
In the success we have recorded, for our he
TO is as open handed prince. His gene
rosity is unlimited, as more that one paIson,
who owe all they possess to his friendly ma
nihcence, can testify
We have written this little history for the
advantage Of all such as are disposed to sit
down in despair, and rail at fate for such dis
appointment in life are more properly to
be ascribed to indolence.-[ Trenton State

FAMILY AND SOCIAL READING.

The benefits Of social reading are manifold.
Pleasures shared with others are increased
by the partnership. A book is tenfold book.
when read in the company of beloved friends,
by the rudy fire, on the autumnal evening"
and when our intellectual pleasures are bathed
in domestic affection. An elegant writer,
commanding the practice of reading aloud
says:
Among thousand means of making home
attractive-a main point in ethics = this
stands high. What is more pleasing What
more attractive What more rational? He
would be a benefactor indeed, who would de-
wise plan for red eming our evenings and raj
" the young men who scatter to clubs,
and taverns, and brawling assemblies. Such
n reforrner and inventor would deserve a gar
land of hearts ease from the hands ofsiighted
woman. Families which are in n state of
mutual repulsion, have no evenings together
over books or music. The master is at the
frequented bar room. The boys are at some
pnbic room or place of amusement. The
girls are abroad in full dress. the mother
sits at home in spectacles. And the several
parties straggle in, weary and sometimes sur
", at such hours as suit their whlm, and
then only as nature demands sleep. lt is
well if this, at length, IS not sought from
home"

CARE OF SHEEP.

Practical Farmer writing TO the German
town Telegraph, gives the following practical d.
rections for the care of sheep:
sAn opinion prevails in some sections that sheep
require water during winter and actually DO
better without than with IL. This however is a
great mistake, and one that frequently gives rise
10 serious losses. When permitted sheep though
they capable from their structure and habits
OF sustaining longer time probably without wa.
ter than any other domestic animal. Will drink
from four TO eight times day. and with evident
advantage, particularly during winter. when thew
necessarily restricted TO dry and iniigestible
food which naturally engenders thirst, and requires
much drink 10 render the economy OF digestion
and assimilation sufficiently rapid and perfect 10
insure continuance Of thirst and health When
practicable, there should always be a watering
trough in the shed or yard, to which the animals
can ar all times have free access without Iringlinr

the yards are, as they ought to be, distinct From

ceeds this, unless special care be mad to secure the
most perfect ventilation, the animals are liable 10
contract diseases, and never do as well as when
confined in smaller focks On taking sheep from
the pasture, in autumn the sudden change from
green to dry food often operates detri1ientally,
which is sufficiently evinced by the loss of appe-
tite and consequent ernaciation evinced and which

AN INTERESTING CREATURE.

A young Ourangoutang has lately been
brought to the garden of plants, and is the
object of almost universal curiosity. The
animal is only six months old, but has all the
appearance ola child aged three years, Of
grave and reflective character. He is at the
same time very afectionate, with the keepers.
He feeds delicately, taking roast meat, wine.
chocolate, and even liquors. Being vely sus-
ceptible of the cold, he sleeps between large
cat and a rough coated dog, and wraps them
both, as well as himself, in blanket. In the
DAYTIME he is dressed in a red colored blouse
and white pantaloons.

SUSpAY BATHING AND BUTCHERISG.-
Those dreadful scenes ofwar, the battles of
Talavera and Waterloo were enacted on a

SCIENCE THE EANDMAID OF
RELIGION.
THE ATMOSPHERIC.


The earth does not move in an ocean OF air;
it is surrounded by the atmosphere to the
extent of about fortv-fve or fifty miles from
its surface, on every side; it is retained by
the power of gravity, and accompanies the
earth In its diurnal motion on its own axis,
and in its annual revolution around the sun.
The atmosphere is elastic, invisible, transpa-
rent, subtitle, expansive, ard weighty it is
composed Of two simple gasses, termed oxy-
gen and nitrogen; asmalI portion of carbon
ic acid also enters into lis composition, and
aqueous vapor more or lees is always found
in it, and which descends in the form Of rain,
dew, &c, to iructify and nourish the earth.
The atmosphere is absolutely necessary to
the support of animal and vegetable life,-
the birds that fly in the open armament of
heaven, the fish that swim in the vast abyss
and the cattle that Craze on thousand hills,
are all dependent on the atmosphere and
man is equally dependent on it; the lungs
extract the oxygen, which purlfies the blood.
1t is the food of common fire, it is necessary
to the support of flame, aud sound, the still
ness of death would reign throughout uni
versal Nature were it not for the atmosphere
Its relative portions are twenty-one parts of
oxygen. and seventy nine of nitrogen; and
these proportions are preserved throughout
the globe we inhabit. Were the oxygen gas
to prevail considerably above the nitrogen,
the most serious consequences might ensue
the oxygen IS OF that nature that were the nj
trogen to be entirely extracted, a single spark
would be sufficient TO set the globe on fire
thus we see how dependent we are upon an
all wise and benevolent Providence for our
preservation. that it is '' in him we live, and
move, and have our being.''
