IMMORTALITY.

The following noble passage occurs in Dies
Blackwoods Magazine:
Oh, my friends---if this winged and
swihliie be all our life, what mourufu taste
haye we had Of possible happiness! We
have, as it were, from -ome cold and dark edge
of bright world, just looked in and been pluck
ed aaay again! Have re come to experience
pleasure by fits and gimpses, but ntertwined
with pain, burdensone labor, with WEAKNESS,
and with Indifference Have we come to try
the solace aad joy Of warm, fearless, and con-
fding affection, to be chilled or bIighted by Bit
terness, by separation, BY change of heart, Oh by
the dread sunderer OF Ioves-Deah? Have we
found the gladness and the strength of knowl-
edge, when some rays of truth fash in upon our
souls in the midst of error g. uncertainty or amidst
continuous, necessltated, uninstructed avoca.
tons Of the understanding and Is that all !
Have we felt in fortunate hours the charm the
beautiful that invests, MS with mantle, the Wis
ible creation, or have we found ourselves lifted
above the earth by sudden approximations ofsub
llmity! Have we had the consciousness ofsuch
feelings, which seemed to us as if they might
themselves make upa liie-a almost an angels
life and were they IS instant come and instant
gone: 2" Have we known the consolation O
Dong Right, in the midst OF mitch that we have
Eong-.and was that also a corruscatioI
q transient sunshine? Have we lifted up OH
thoughts to Him who is Love, Light, Truth AM
bliss; to b in the next instant plunged into tin
darkness of aulihiaton? Have all these thing
been but flowers that we have pulled by the sid
of hard and tedious way, and that after glad
dening us Tor brief season with hue and CO o
wIther in our hands, and are like ourselves
nnthing?"

NATURES ICE CAVES.

From an article on the above subject, copied
int, LitieIl's Living Age, from Chambers
E inburgh Journal, we extract the follow
ing:-
5, have met with an account, by Professor
SilIi,nan. of America. which we have NJ hesita
tim in classif ng under our present head. The
ice cave of which he speaks is in the State Of
Connecticut, between Hartford and ew Haven
1t is only two hundred feet above The level ofthe
sea. and Is situated in a defe filed with fiag-
ments OF rocks Of various slz,s, through when a
small brot,k.runs. 1t was visited in the middle
of July, the ethermometer at o5teg. in the shade
and on approaching it, m evident chill ness wa
felt in the air. Par les of pleasure often resor
hither in the snry Summer days TO drink ofth
cold flowing waters, and to alnuse thernstlv I've
with the rich store Of ice here treasured up. Il
some places The ice is, quite near The surface
aud Is only covered with leaves. A boy, arne
with hltchei, descended into cavity, and, al

solldity of this piece may be formed by adding
that on the third day some Of it was yet unmelt-
ed.
A similar repository of cod exists about seven
miles from New Haven, at the bottom of steep
ridge Of trap rock. In the hottest Summers ice
is conveyed from this place to New Haven, much
soiled, indeed, with leaves and dirt, but useful
for COOLING beverages. A more celebrated one,
also, in America, has often been noticed by tou-
rists OF that country; some accounts in fact,
have been. exaggerated about it. 1t is situated in
Hampshire county, Virginia, and is widely cele-
brated under the title of =" ice mountain" The
place where the store of cold exists is sort of
natural glacier, which lies against steep mu-
ral ridge of lofty rock, and is composed of a
number of fragments of sand stone, of all sizes,
loosey heaped together. In the midst of these
the ice is contai ed.
1t was visited in the summer of 1884, season
of drought and heat quite unparalleled in the his
tory of that county. But the external heat did
not appear to exert the smallest influence on the
ice mountain. At the depth of a few inches a.
bundance of excellent ice was found, and a
thernomet lowered into cavity, dropped
from 95 to 40 deg. The surrounding rocks were
covered with dew, owing to the condensation of
atmospheric vapor by The excessive coldness of
their surface. One cavity has been filled with
snow, and only covered with few panks, and
yet the snow WIS as crisp as if it had just ia len.
At the bottom is little artificial structure call
ed the dairy" and used for that purpose in the
summer In ordinary summers its roo, is cover
ed with icicles, and its sides are often quite in
clusfed with ice Strange to say, spring near
the rock hls only one d'gree less temperature
than the waters Of the surrounding district. The
atmosphere over this singular spot, had in this
scorchng season, bqimy, spring ike cool
ness, which was most refreshing to fhe weary
traveller,

Shone beauty and pleasure--her trlumPhs are

And the memory Of those who loved and prais
Are alike from the midst Of the living erased.
The peasant, whose lot was to SOW and to reap
The,herdsman, who climb d with his goats tc

The beggar, who wandered in search of his
bread,
Have taded away like the grass that we tread.
The saints, that enjoyed the communion Of hea

The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bcheS 10 the dust,

We see the same sirhts our fathers have seen,
We drink the same stream aud we feel the same

And we run the same course our fathers have
