And wakes 10 awful grandeur meath
The catarsct's fosn'ing tide;
IT'S thson-d in dark stern majesty.

Oh: there 10 beauty every where
In this bright world VI ours.
And life, how much is shed around,
To bless and cheer Us here,

It's lesser lila TO beAI.
Although a cloud may sometimes rise.
A shadow some times rest,
Upon our earthly pathway. still

That the whole interior portion Of the
earth. or at least great part of it, is an
ocean Of melted rock, agited by violent
winds. though dare not affirm it, is still
rendered highly probable by the pheno-
mena Of volcanoes. The facts connected
with their eruption have been ascertained
and placed beyond a doubt. How, then,
are they to be accounted for! The theo.

are caused by the combustion Of immense
coal beds. is perfectly ruerile. and is en-
tirely abandoned. All the coal in the
world would not afford fuel enough for a
single capital exhibition of Vesuvius We
must look higher than this, and have but
little doubt that the whole rests on the &C.

which are constantly in operation in the

Lyell does not regard the theory as

Of few miles in thickness. as an outer
covering. True, there are over three

but these are more likely to be strictly
local and limited in their extent downward

sinuous mass Of liquid minerals, reaching
from the earth 8 centre to the base of these
