PROFESSOR AGAssIz.-The statement atribu-
ted to Professor Agassiz that he was ready
10 maintain, in opposition to the Scriptures,
that mankind was not of one race, does not
do strict justice TO that learned gentleman,
as we see by fullerrep ofhis own words
as follows:
"For his own part, after giving TO this
question mudh consideration, he was ready
TO maintain that the different races of men
were descended from different stocks, and
he regarded this position as fully sustained
by divine revelation. The Jewish history
was the history, not of divers races, but of
singl race of mankind, but the existence of
other races was often incidentally alluded to
and distinctly implied, if not absolutely as.
serted in the sacred volume"
This expression of opinion Produced
strong sensation among the members of the
body.

Pressure of the Sea.

If piece of wood which floats on the wa
ter be forced down 10 a great depth in the
sea, the pressure of the surrounding liquid
will force it into the pores of the wood, and
so increase its weight that it will no longer be
capable OF floating OF rising to the surface
Hence the timber of ships which have foun-
dered in the deep part of the ocean never
rise again 10 the surface, like those which
have sunk near to the shore. A diver may,
with impunity, plunge to certain depth of
the sea; but there is limit beyond which
he cannotliv under the pressure to which
he is subject. For the same reason, it is
probable that there is depth beyond which
fishes cannot live. They, according TO JOS
lin, have been caught in depth at which
they must have sustained pressure of 80
tons to each square foot of the surface of
their bodies.

CAPIrAL.-We heard a good one OF green
sprig from the Emerald Isle, who, the other
day, entered boot and shoe store in Low
ell, TO purchase himself pair of "brogans."
After overhauling his stock in trade with
out being able to suit his.customer, the
shop keeper limited that he wo lid make him
a pair TO order.
"And wha-what will yer ak to make a
good pair iv them ?" was the query.
The price was named the man demurred,
but after "batin' down" the thing was a
trade. Phelan was about leaving the store,
when the other called after him asking:
"But what size shall make them, sir !
"ochw cried he promptly 'niver mind a
bout the size, at all-make them as large as ye
conveniently can for the money"

NUMBER 10.
kiss Cotiuions,

The editor Of the Windsor Journal--an OBJ
stinate sort of bachelor--learns that Profess
sors OF dancing in New York have recently
introduced a new style of Cotillion, called
the kiss Cotillion," the peculiar feature of
which is that you kiss the lady as you swing
corners. The editor is crusty sort of feI-
low who never dances, but says he would
not mind waving his objections to the am
usement so far as to "swing corners" now e.
then, i'll this new cotillion-the selfish scamp
lie reminds us of an old lady who had an un.
accountable aversion TO rye, and never, could
eat it in any form, till of late years, she said,
they had got TO making it into whiskey, and
ind can now and then worry down lee
tle."

~AMERicAN CAST STEEL has been made
in this country but year or two, and has at
tanned an excellence that defes competition.
1t has been manufactured by party who
never saw pound of STEEL made till pro-
duced by himself, but he is Yankee-and
having had put into his hands some of the
new celebrated Adirondac iron, he worked
and thought, toiled and persevered till he
produced steel pronounced by competent
judges unsxcelled by any other in the world.
The article competes, in price, with the i'm

Eloquent Extract.

The following is one of the very many
beautiful passages of the speech of General
Cass:
81 am no panegyrst of the South. 1t ueeds
none. l am northern man by birth, awes-
tern man by the habits and associations of
half century; but am an American above
all. love the land of my forefathers. l
revere the memory of the Pilgrims for all
they did and suffered in the grea: cause Of
human rights, political and religious And /
am proud of that monument which time and
labor have built up 10 their memory-the in.
stitutions OF New Englard-a memorial of
departed worth as noble and enduring as the
world has ever witnessed, glorious and inde-
structible. But while feel thus, should
despise myself if any narrow rrejudices or
incorporate passions should blind my eyes
TO the intelligence and patriotism of other
sections of our united country TO their glo-
rious deeds, to their lofty sentiments, TO their
high name, and 10 those sacred aspirations,
common TO them and to us, for the perpetuity
and prosperity of this great confederation,
which belong to the past, TO the present, and
to the future and whose feelings and opin-
ions are brought here and reflected here by a
representation in this hall and in the other,
which now occupies, and has always occu.
pied as high position as that held by any
other portion OF the Union-a representation
which does honor 10 our country in all that
gives worth 10 man, and gives dignity to hu-
man nature"

Mr.. VArTEmARE.--The newspapers are dis
cussing Mr.. Vattemare's claim that he is
the agent of the French government for the
distribution Of International exchanges. This
gentleman had the modesty 10 ask the New
Jersey legislature for some thousands of dol
lars, as perpetual salary from that state,
and he has been equally importunate 10 9TH
er Legislatures. 1t was denind in that body
that he was the agent of any government,
and the Newark Advertiser says that his own
aggrandizement has alone been sought in
all his recent movements: that he keeps
bookstore in Paris, which the gifts of the A.
has SO far taken no notice of the Sc assertions.

The two Misers.

A miser in Kufa had heard that in Bassora
there also dwelt miser, more misery than
himself, to whom he might go TO school, and
from whom he might learn much. He forth
with jouneyed thither, and presented him
self to the great master as an humble COM
mencer in the arts of Avarice, anxious to
learn, and under him to become student
t'Welcomew said the miser of Bassora-
1--WE will straightway go into the market, TO
make some purchases. They then went to
the baker.
s'Hast thou good breadm
"Good indeed, masters-and fresh and soft
as butter"
"Mark this, friend" said the man of Bas-
sora the one of Kufa-"butter is compared
as being the better of the two ; as we can
only consume small quantity of that it will
be the cheaper-and we shall therefore act
more wisely and more savingly too, in being
satisfied with butter"
They then went to the merchant, and ask
ed if he had good butter.
"Good indeed-and favory and fresh as
the finest OIL"
"Mark this, also," said the host to his
guest, "oil is compared with the very best
butter and, therefore ought TO be preferred
to the latter"
They next went 10 the oil vender.
"Have you good oil 2"
"The very best quality-white and trans
parent as water"
"Mark that, too," said the miser of Basso-
ra to the one of Kufa ; ''by this rule water is
the very best Now, at home I have pail
full, and most hospitable Herewith will en-
tertain you" And indeed, on their return,
nothing but water did he place before his
guest-because they had learned that water
was better than oil, oil better than butter, and
butter better thanY Ybread
"God be praised" said the miser of Kufa
--"f haze not ioumeyed this long distance
in vain"

" A Lnke flr The La,

DA Joke for the Ladies. The editor of a
paper in Providence lately informed his rea-
ders that the ladies always pull off the left
stocking last This, as may be supposed,
created some little stir among his fair read
ers, aud while, IN positive terms, they deni-
ed the statement, they al the same time de-
clared that he had no business to know it e.
ven if such was the fact, and pronounced
him no gentleman. He proved it, however,
by short argument when one stocking is
pulled off first, there is another left on; and
and pulling off this is taking offthe lett stock

HE Is GONE, HE is GONE!

He is gone ! he is gone
Like the leaf from the tree;
Or the down that is blown
By the wind o'er the lea.
He is fled, the light-hearted!
Yet tear must have started
To his eye, when he parted
From loVe-stricken me!
He is fled ! he is fled!
Like gallant so free,
Plumed cap on his head,
And sharp sword by his knee
While his gay feathers futtered,
Surely something he muttered
He at least must have uttered
A farewell to me
He's away! he's away
To far lands DER the sea-
And many's the day
Ere home he can be !
But where'er his steed prances,
Amid thronging lances,
Sure he'll think of the glances
That love stole from me!
He is gone he is gone
Like the leaf from the tree;
But his heart is of stone
If it ne'er dream of me!
For | dream of him ever
His buff coat and beaver,
And long sword, oh, never
Are absent from me

Farming Machines.

Nearly all the grain raised in Michigan
and other wheat growing States in the west,
is now cut by horse machinery, at the rate of
thirty acres a day. Within two years the
same has been introduced extensively in the
lake counties OF New York. But a good
moving machine has yet to be invented.

Christ and MahOmet.

Go to your natural religion; lay before her
Mahomet and his disciples arrayed in armor
and in blood, riding in triumph over the
spoils of thousands and tens of thousands of
those who fell by his victorious sword; show
her the cities which he set in flames, the
countries which he ravaged and destroyed,
and the miserable distress of all the inhabi-
tants of the earth.
When she has viewed him in this scene
carry her into his retirements-show her the
prophets chamber-his concubines and his
wives; let her see his adultery, and hear him
allege Revelation and his divine commission
to justify his lust and oppression, When she
is tired with this prospect then show her the
blessed Jesus, humble and meek, doing good
to all the sons of men; patiently instructing
both the Ignorant and pererse let her see
him IN his most retired privacy: let her fol-
low him to the mountain and hear his appli-
cations 10 God carry her TO his table to see
his poor fare, and hear bis heavenly discourse
let her see him injured but not provoked
let her attend him 10 the tribunals, and con-
slider the patience with which he endured the
SCOTS and reproaches of his enemies. Lead
her 10 his Cross, and let her view him in the
agonies of death, and hear his last prayer
for his persecutors-"Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do" Whenna-
tural religion has seen both, ask.which is the
prophet of God. But her answer we have
already had. When she saw part of this
scene through the eyes of the Centurion who
attended at the Cross, by him she spake and
said, "Truly this man was the son of God"
