One Of the most important moves
in this connection-that calls for i'm

The mind of man is not governed
by such laws, as govern the balance
Of the ''unerring whole" Of nature.
Man is disposed, rather to love what
he should not, than what he should.
The consequence is, that gross fat men
become allied to spare women, and
tall women are very apt to select
(when they do so for themselves) a
small swiveled up man, that does not
come up to the full measure. We

The GuLF.-Ffom observations
made during the past half century, it
is clearly established that the land Dor
-dering the gulf Of Mexico, is by some
internal power raised, perceptably
each year. At the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi this Is abundently proven,
hence the main difficulty Of finding a
passage to the sea, for large vessels
The bars formed by moving sand, play
very Insignificant part in blocking
up the passes, when compared to the
internal upheaving power. There is
evidently some mighty volcano at
work in the bottom Of that great body
Of water-some internal subterranean
passage through which the waters of
the pacific ocean boil over into the
Atlantic thus aiding IF not the prime

Cuffs Stream.

novel or exciting. Even the startling
intelligence from the East, Of war

brute, over which he exults in his su.
