"MY own GREEN L.ND"-Mr. Greeley
closes his letters from Europe with the fol-
lowing eloquent passage:
"Nith glow Of unwonted rapture see
our stately vessels Prov turned towards the
setting sun, aud strive to realize that only
some ten days separate me from those
know and love beet on earth. Hark the
last gun announces that the mail boat has
left us, and that we are fairly afoat on our
ocean Journey: The shores of Europe re-
cede from our vision, the waierv waste is
all around us; and now, with God above us,
death below, our gallant barque and ihe
clustered company together brave the dan
gers of the mighty deep. May infinite mer-
cy watch over our onward path and bring
US safely 10 our several homes; for TO die
away from home and kindred, seems one of
the saddest calamlties that could betali me.
This mortal tenement would rest uneasi-
ly in an ocean shroud, this spirit reluctant
iy resign this tenement to the chill and
pitiless brine; these eyes close regreifully
on the stranger skies and bleak inhospita,i,y
of the sullen and stormy main. No let me
see once more the scenes so we'll remem-
bered and beloved; let me grasp, if but once
again, the hand Of Friendship, and hear the
thrilling accents of proved affection; and
when sooner or later The hour of mortal
agony shall come, let my last gaze be fixed
Oh eyes that Will not forget me when | arm
gone; and let my ashes repose in that con-
genial soil which, however | may there he
esteemed or hated, is still
'My own green land forever"

AN EMERALD MtsE.--The "OverIand
Chronicle" contains the following interest
ing account of all emerald mine in Egypt:
"lt appears tina, the existance of an en-
era|d mine on Monut Zebarah, situated on

known. IL had been worked hy the Pacba

ped IN The latter years of the reign Of Me
hemet Ali. a short time ago Nh English
company obtained permission to carry OIL
the digging, which is promising to yield
them immense wealth. Recently their en-
gineer, Mr.. X. Allen, discovered at a prea,
depth, traces Of y great gallery, bearing
about IT evidences of extreme antiquity.
Here he found ancient instruments and uten-
s'ls, and stone with hierogiyphc nscrip-
ton oil II, in great measure destroyed. Il
appears that IN his time, Beizoni, to whom
the world is SO much indebted for its knowl-
edge OF The wonders Of Egypt, had given it
as his opinion that this mine had been work
Ell hy the ancient Egyptians, and this dis
covery establishes the soundness Of his re-
mark. The con6guraIon Of the gallery,
aud The nature ami shape of the tools found
in it, il is said, exhibit great skill in the ar,
OF engineering. From The inscription on
the stone, so far as is can be read, it is be-
lieved that the Iaboring in the mine Of Ia
harah, commenced in the reign of the great
Sesostris, Giving about 1850 years before.

HE FORCE or LIGHrKfNa.-Tbe fol-
lowing curious and dangerous effects Of
lightning may not he familiar to many who
witness its grand aud awful exhibitions:
"a person may I've killed by lightning, al
though The explosion takes place at the dis
tapce Of 20 miles, by what is called tho
back stroke. Suppose thar the two extrenl-
ties of a cloud, highly charged with elec-
trlcity, hang down tow ards the earth, they
will repei the electricity from the eerth's
surface, if il be Of the aame kind with their
own, and will attract the other kind; aud if
a discharge should suddenly take place at
one end of the cloud, the equilibrium will
instantly bs restored by fash at that point
OF The earth which is under the other.
Though the back stroke is often sufficiently
powerful to destroy lite, il is never so ter
rible in its effects as the direct shot, which
Is frequently of inconceivabie intensity. In
stances have occurred in which large mass
es Of iron aDd stone, and even many feet Of
stone wall, have been conveyed TO n cou-
siderable distance by stroke Of lightning.
Rocks and tops of mountains often bear the
marks Of fusion from it's action, and occa-
sIonaiiy, vitreous tubes, descending many
feet into the banks Of sand, mark tha path
of the electric fluid. Some years ago, DR..
Fielder exhibited several of these fulgori-
ties in LoncoD, Of considerable length,
which had been dug out of the sandy plains
of Siipsia and Eastern Prussia. One found
at Paderborn, was forty feet long. The
ramiiications generally terminate in pools OF
water below the sand, which are supposed
10 determine the course of the electric fluid.
No doubt the soil and substrata must in-
fluence its directions; since it is found by ex-
perence, that places that have been struck
by lightning are often struck again. A school
house IN Lamtner- Muir, in East Lothian,
has been struck three different times.'
