OF hope shot across his troubled mind.
True, replied Strosser, 'but the deb

been Cancelled, and now that the scale i,
turned, | deem it my duty to come to the
rescue.'
At this singular turn in the tide of for.
tune, Mr.. Barton fairly wept for Joy.
His paper was taken up as last as il
was sent in. and in less than a month he
had passed the crisis. and stood perfectly
secure; his credit increased, and busi.
ness improved, while severl other firms
sunk under the blow and could not rally.

"Our fathers and mothers are still hale

years of age, and yet they never bothered
themselves about the liver and stomach,

Marriage of the suItan,s Daurhtor,

Marriage of the suItan's Daughter.
One OF the daughters of the Sultan has
been recently married tothe Grand Vizar.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Baltimore Times gives tie following Incl.
dents connected with the wedding:
The streets through which the process.
sion passed were lined with the Imperial
trops. In front of it were servants bear.
ing upon their heads fruits and flowers of
every variety, beautifully and tasteiully ar.
ranged in baskets covered with the finest
gauzes Of every color. After these follow.
others loaded with rich cashmere shawls
Of every hue and pattern. Then came
carriages containing immense chests GOV.
cred with purple velvet, and ornamened
with elabOrateIy carved edges and clasps
Of solid siiver-these were filled with the
bridal robes, made Of the costly and ele-
CANT fabrics. 1t required a number Of
slaves 10 carry the various SETS of rarest
India China. The presents OF gold and
Jewels closed the procession; the first
"as secured in velvet bags, and the latter
was laid upon silver salVers, with large
coverings OF the same metal. The COLI
lection Of slippers was one Of the most
beautiful objects of the whole procession.
and an idea may be formed Of the cost
and elegance, when the pair alone in
which the bride was to attend the Mosque,
were valued at 100000. These gifts
were presented to thu Sul:ana at her faith.
er's palace upon the Bosphorus, and after
which the Sultan announced through his
grand Vicar TO the company, that the
hands Of three other daughters would be
given to the sons of Mehemet Ali Pasha
Amet Fethi Pasha, and Abbas Pasha. In
this he eyiDced much policy, for by it he
secures the services of three of the most
powerful men in his Empire. Abbas
Pasha, Governor Of Egypt is scarcely
less powerful than the Sultan himself and
has already sent large feet and-army
10 his assistance.

Age of the World.

In recent work OF Hugh Miller's, the
geologist, we find the following view Of
the antiquity Of the world. Along the
cIify shore near his native town, as in
other parts ofthe coast of Scotland, there
is line of dry caves in the face Of the
rock, twenty feet above the line Of SINH
lar objects which the sea is at present en-
gagged in following out. Surveying this
set of objects impresses on Mr.. Miller
"the fact of the amazing antiquity of the
globe" found, he says, "that the caves
followed by the surf, when the sea had
stood from fifteen to twenty-five feet above
its present level, or, as should perhaps
rather say, when the land had stood that
much lower, were deeper, on the average
by about one-third, than those caves Of
The present coast line that are still in the
course OF being followed by the waves.
And yet the waves have been breaking
against the present coast.line during the
whole of the historic period. The ancient
wall of Antonus, which stretched between
the Firths of Forth and Clyde, was built
at its termnalons with reference to the
existing levels; and ere Cesar landed in
Britain, ST.. MichRl's Mount was connec.
ted with the mainland, as now, by mar.
row neck Of beach laid bare by the ebb.
across which, according to Diodorus ST..
culus, the Cornish miners used 10 drive
at low.water their carts laden with tin.
If the sea has stood for two thousand six
hundred years against the present coast
Iline-and no geologist would fix his esti.
mate of the term lower-then must it have
stood against The old line, ere it could
have excayated caves one.third deeper
than the modern ones, three thousand
nine hundred years. And both sums
united more than exhaust the Hewbrew
chronology. Yet what a mere beginning
of geologic history does not the epoch OF
the old coast-ine form!"

CHAPTER II.

Ten years having passed away since
the occurrence of the conversation recor
ded in the preceding chapter, and Mr.
Barton, pale and agitated. is standing al
tn, same desk as when first introduced
to the readers attention. AS page after
page of this pondtrous ledger was ex.
amined, his despair became deeper and
deeper, until at last he exclaimed
Il am ruined utterly ruined!'
How so?' inquired Hiram Strosser
who entered the counting room in season
to hear Mr.. Baron's remark.
The last European steamer brought
news of the failure Of the house of Perleh,
Jackson & Co., London, who are indebted
to me in the sum of nearly two hundred
thousand dollars. News of the failure
has beccme general, and my creditors,
panic, stricken, are pressing in my paper
TO be cashed. The banks refuse me
credit, and have not the means 10 meeI
my liabilities. If | could pass this crisis,
perpaps could rally again, but it is i'm
possble; my creditors are importunate,
and cannot much longer keep above
the tide replied Mr.. Barton
What is the extent OF your liabilities?
inquired Strosser, .....I
'Seventy.fve thousand dollars replied
Mr.. Barton. I.....
Would that sum be sn(iicint TO relieve
youl a ......

Then, sir, you shall have it, said
Strosser, as he stepped up TO the desk
and drew acheck for seyenty.live thousand
