ORIGIN OF NoRwAY.-ln the remote

God, when he had created the world, and
was reposng from his labor, was suddenly
aroused from he meditation by the fall OF
a monstrous mass of waters The Creator,
as he looked up. perceived the devil. who
had seized prodigious mass Of rock, which
he had hurled into the deep, so that the axis
of the new creation, trembling under the
weight. threatened 10 break, and yet wavers.

his work from entire destruction by his
mighty power. With one hand he sustain.

base fend, who, howling with fear took
flight; but everywhere the fearful pile Of
rock rose above the waters. High and
gloomily it projected out Of the swelling
food to the clouds; jagged, wild shattered,
its naked aides sank into the unfathomable
depths, and filled the sea with innumerable
cliffs and peaks for many miles. The Max
er cast look of sadness and pity upon this
waste, and then took what remained OF
fruitful earth, and strewed il over the black
rocks But alas it was to sparse to be of
much avail. The ground was scarcely COW

HEALTH OF THE WHITE HoUsE.-Tbe
special correspondents Of the New York
Times. referring TO the health of President
Pierce, makes the following remarks in re-
spect to the sickly location of the White
House:--. ~
"The Presidents health, l regret to say,
has been quite bad of late, having suffered
from remittent fever Although not en-
tirel7 confined to the house, he looks poor
ly. The fact is the White house is badly
located, and cannot be occupied with safety
during those seasons of the year u hen chillf
and fevers are. rife. This results from the
fact that the site Of the Executive manson
affords natural and convenient resting
place for the miasmatic exhalation arising
from the low grounds near the river, and
from the Potomac fats. Congress ought.
without delay. 10 furnish the President q
modest Summer retreat on the nights Of
Georgetown, where he can retire from the
pestllential miasms during his hours of re-
pose. The humblest cilizen who locates
bis residence in Washington, avoids. il he
can, sucha situation (relative to the river
marsh) as that occupied by the White
House. Why, then, should We compel the
President TO live where due regard for his
health, as private citizen. would prevens
bis location ?"
= 1--WE find the shove copied into the Wash-
ington Union, from which fact we gather
shat the statements are well founded.

GUS questions of civil, common, international,
constitutional commercial, and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course Of the admins
tration of the government, and bearing, as they
do, upon nearly every subject of civil polty and
jurisdiction, It necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in importance to the Constitution
which they defend and the laws which they ex-
plain They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles of the federal gov
ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many instances, the
compensation of its civil and military officers
The subjects of national sovereignty, neutrality.
extradition, &c, are therein thoroughly discussed
and our revenue laws, land laws patent laws
pension laws, &C.. commented upon and ex-
