up these blanks will not bring every man
who is Kossuth.mad to his senses, then he
is incurable.
"Let US give to Kossuth oil our sympa-

JOSHul's MIRACLE.

II has been supposed by some, that
the motion oi the earth upon lis axis
was arrested. This no doubt; would
produce tho effect intended, the length.
oning ol The day Bu: il weuld-Milh-
out an additional and stuprndcus exer-
ton Of Almighty power-have pFodu5s
ced other and very tremendous Effects
upon the whole earth. The natural
consequence oil such SUDDEN check 10
the worlds motion, would have bren by
m.ans Of The atmosphere, TO crush all
animal and vegetable existance; 10 lev
sl with the ground the lcities, and
most massive structures; and in fact
to sweep The whole surface Of the globe
as with the besem OF destruction. God
might have prevented this. But while
there is mode Of producing the effect
which Joshua desired, which does not
naturally involve such consequences, i
may bs best, in the present state OF our
knowledge, to suppose that it was 50 ct:
fected. II answers all the condition OF
the question, while i. remains most
stupendous exhibition Of the Almighty,
in that day when she hearksned 10 The
voice Of q man." 10 suppose that the
light Of the then setting sun was super
naturally prolonged, through the opera;
ton Of the same laws Of refrsction and
reflection, by which the SUMS disk is
ordinarily seen above the horizon ssms
time after he has really sunk below il.
He who created the heavenly lumins-
ries, and established the laws which
transmit their light, could, at the same
time, 60 have altered the medium
through which the SUMS rays passed, q,
to render il visible above the horizih
long after il would, under ordinary cir
eumstance,, have disappeared. This,
10 the apprehension Of The 1sraelites,
would have had all the visible effect Of
staying the career Of the sun; and TO
ours, that Of aresting the esrth's revo-
luton on lis axis; and this is all. that
the sacred text requires-all that josh
ia required-all that we need require:

A TALE OF "Two Doos."-Ths fol-
lowing from alate English paper, is one
ot The best dog stories we have seen Tor
some time:
ga gentleman, resident in Lincoln
shire, was lately on a journey about
eighty or ninety miles from home and
LEFT iavourits little dog at a hotel
while he visited another town in the
neighborhood. On his return, the land
lady, in dismay, told him his dog had
been attacked by large dog other own,
and had run away from the house. He
LEI, but returned 10 the same hotel alter
the lapse Of a few weeks when The land
lady informed him that bis little dog
had returned in the interim, accompa-
MED by large dog, who had attacked
her own dog so fercely that he nearly
killed him. From the description Civ
en- ofthe animal, the gentleman enter
tained no doubt but that il was his own
house dog from Lincolnshire ; and on
his return home, he learnt from bis SER
vents that shortly after his departure,
his favorits little dog returned one day,
bearing marks Of much i'll usage, and
after apparently consulting with the
large animal. the two dogs set off 10
gether and were absent several days,
presenting evidences on their return Of
having travelled . considerable dis
tance."

ScRIPruRAL AETrQUrIEs.-SOme Of our

made Of terra Gotta, and found buried some
twenty feet deep amidst the ruins Of Baby.
lon. These bowls are upward Of fifteen
in number, and generally six inches broad,
and three or four in depth. Most Of them
have inscriptions inside, commencing ct
the bottom, and extending in spiral line
towards the left, till, after some revolutions
ranging from tvs TO ten in number, they
close at the brim. The characters and
language Of the inscriptions have hitherto
baflled all our untiquaries. We are in
formed, however, that very recently both
have been satisfactorily explained By Mr..
Thomas Ellis. who is engaged in the orr

the ch3Aetefs somewhat resemble the

SNOW.


SNOW.
In these snowy times our readers may
be pleased TO peruse short sketch on snow.
For many years, Ohio has not been as
much covered with snow as at the presen.
time. We have had twsnty.six showers
Of snow this winter, and some Of our Ger.
man auguries predict ten more, on account
Of the number Of showers Of Iain in Ger.
tain month last fall.
Psa, ll7: l6. He g,veth snOw like wOol.
/. Irs HIsroRY. The frs, mention Of
snow is in Exc. iv; 6. The word occurs
tpsnty.ons times in the Old Testament,
and tvies in the new. II is used as sym.
Dol Of purity. Psa. 5l:7. and 6S: IA
As il was rare in Judea, it was much al.
mired. The Scy,hians and some others
among the ancients called it feathers, and
on account Of its large flakes some have
called ii .fesees, IN allusion to wool. Psa.
i47: 16. Virgil, Gsorg. 1897. Oriental
interpreters take i, as a symbol Of power.
.y, cares, and tormen.s, and sometimes as
the emblem Of fertility. The Psrsians
guess at the fruitlulness Of the following
year by the fall or snow.
2. frs FoRMATloS. Snow is formed from
watsry particles frozen in the air: frozen
water becomes ice; snow differs from ice
in this,-the water which constitutes ice
has been frozen in its ordinary density ;
the water which forms snow has been fro.
zen when separated. and reduced to state
Of vapour. Snow is twen,y-four times
more rare than water, and occupies ten or
twelve times more space than the amour,
Of water which it contains. Snow is gen.
orally Of a regular figure, like pointed
stars; it sometimes appears like an infin.
ite number Of clusters irregularly figured.
3. It's UTlLlTY. Snow is designed for
various uses. ltfenilzes the earth BY the
nite it contains. 4, protects and shelters
the earth from freezing winds maintains
the warmth necessary 10 the preservation
Of seeds, grain, plants and roots Of trees.
II proves destructive 10 worms aud insects
which ruin the salu,aty fruits Of the earth.
Il keep, the internal heat Of tho earth,
thus protecting the roots Of vegetables /;
it excludes the atmosphere from its surface,
thus proving the destruction Of insects. 1t
furnishes employment 10 Thousands Of
mules, horses, aud msu. Where no ice is
formed, the mountains ars.frsquen,ly GOV.
cred withsnow, whiehgives means 10 cool
beverages, thus contributing 10 health by
relaxing the fibres and communicating
proper tone to the stomach, aud imparting
strength for the performance Of labSr.
4. ITs DURATION is proper symbol Of
the vanity and uncertainty Of earthly pos
sessions. How transi,ory are those things
which have contributed to our pleasure
Let snow remind you Of the weakness Of
human beings. All the power Of nations
combined cannot free the earth from snow
and ice. God speaks, and the ice and
snow melt away. He orders the winds,
and thnw takes plaes-the lakes and rir-
ers are released from their icv chains, and
The surface Of the earth exchanges its
snowy mantle, and become clothed in green
verdure.

celebrated divine, who was remarkable
in the first period Of his ministry, for
boistrrous mode oi preaching, suddenly
changed his whole manner in the pulpit
and adopted mild and dispassionate
mode Of delivery. One oi his brethren
observing it, inquired oi him what bad
induced him TO make the change. He
answered "when ! was young ! thought
it was the thunder that killed The pee-
pie but when ! grew wiser, | discov-
cred that il was The lightning /; so I de-
termined in future TO thunder less, and
tighten more"
