Demands of the Age.

The examples before us bid US work,
and the changing present affords ample
opportunity. Around US, every where,
tho new crowds aside the DID, Improve
ment steps by seeming perfection. Dis
covery upsets theories AID clouds over
established systems. The usages of our
beyhood become matters oftraditlon, for
the amusement of cur children. limo
vation rises on the site IF homes rever-
enced for early association. The school
books we used are no longer respected,
and it is not safe to quote the authorities
ofourcollege days. Science can scarce
ly keep pace with the names of publica-
tons, qualifying or abroe ating the past.
Machinery becomes old iron, as its up
start successor usurps its place. The
new ship dashes scorniully by the naval
prodigy Of last year, ind the steamer
laughs at them both. The railroad en-
zine, as it rushes by the crumbling banks
Of the canal, screams cat its mockery al
the barge that is rottiag piecemeai.-
The astronomer builds up his hypothesis,
and is comforting himself among the ne
ibuia, when invention comes to the res
cue; the gigantic telescope points up
ward, and, 10! the raw material of which
worlds are manufactured, becomes the
centres of systems blazing in the infinite
heavens, and the defeated theorizer re-
treats into space, with ais speculation,
to be again routed, when human ingenu-
ity shall admit us one Fair breadth fur
Their into creation.

BURIED ALIVE, But NOT DEAD.-The
Youngstown, Canada, Republican states,
that while a Scotchman In that village
was stoning well, the earth caved in
and covered him to the depth of ten feet,
and twenty feet from the surface of the
ground. The well was thirty feet deep,
and the wall had been raised ten feet
While the laborer was removing the
lower tier of cribbing, the cribbing a
bove him gave way Hundreds of peo-
pie Immediately assembled, and COM
mencedthe'labor of extricating the sup
posed victim; and after nine hours he
was taken out, alive and well. The
planks and timbers of the cribbing above
had fallen so as to protect him from the
weight of earth.

A WHALE IN VERMoNT.-The work
men on the Burlington and Rutland
Railroad, while digging few days since
near Beaman's Hollow, between Yer
gennes and Middiebury. came across the
skeleton of some unknown animal,
deeply imbedded in clay Little atten-
ton was paid to the matter at the time,
and unfortunately most of the bones were
carted off. Enough of them, however,
have since been collected by the Rev
Mr.. Thompson, of this town, (the learn
ed author C. the History of Vermont, J
to enable him to determine all the inn
portant characteristics of the monster to
which they belonged, and to give draw
ing representing It's proportions. He
states that the bones discovered are
those of cetaceous animal, Cor sea
animal of the whale family resembling
the dolphin. Mr.. Thompson further
states, that no fish of this particular
kind is known to exist, and that the one
here must have lived and died in the salt
ocean, long previous to the creation of
man. In size, it was about | / feet in
length, and six feet in circumference.

RICE IN MIssoURI.-Thee editor of the
St. Louis Republican has seen sam
pie of rice grown in that state. The
cuitivator thinks as valuable a crop can
be made from rice as any of the grain
cultivated. 1t is said TO be of more
pleasant favor than that grown in South
Carolina and Georgia.

EDGAR A. PoE.-Since the death OF
this genius, great many curious recol-
lections of him are raked up. The
Richmond Wing has the following:
In boyhood Mr.. Poe was noted for his
leats of hardihood, strength and activi-
ty, to an extent almost beyond the credi-
ble On one occasion, with run OF
thirty yards, he leaped, on dead level,
the distance of 81 feet six inches---a feat
never equalled within our knowledge.
When about fifteen, he swan from Lud-
hams wharf, on James River, to War
wick--a distance of seven miles and a
half-in hot June day--and against a
tide running, probably, from two to three
miles an hour.--The impossibilty of
resting for a moment, under the circum-
stances, renders the feat Herculean, and
one never approached by any properly
authenti Gated feat Of the kind

The GOLD DIGGINGs-BUiLDIN CAL
IFoRNIA HOUSES IN New YoRK.-We
never saw the steam planning mills on
the North River SO active. All the saws
are at work, cutting out timber for hous-
es, which are put up in compact form
A few more arrivals at San Francisco
will bring tenements sufficient for all the
families now boarding or living in tents
A city will soon spring up. 1t is true
that the houses are not quite as splendid
as those in Union Square and University
Place; but they are small, snug and con-
venient. A small store, a counter ten
feet long, a bedroom, seven by nine, a
parlor of the same size, constitute the
convenience of the new wooden domi-
Giles now erecting for the capital of Cal
iforna. About $500 per annum, and
no taxes, will be deemed fair rent for
each; and what sells here for $500 COM
plete, Will readily sell for 5000. News
from the diggings continue to be good
as far as their productiveness can go, but
melancholy to human life, and human
constitutions. They all sink under the
severity OF the climate.-.N. Y. Star,
