sents himself once more his bride, at the

Red Hair.

The young men and women Of the present
age, seem to think that rcd hair is an abomi-
nation in the sight of the public: and, con-
scquently, endcayor, by all manner of means
to charge the color TO beautiful chcsnut
brown, or black. Even some portions of
the press have standing Jokes on 'carrotty
polls;' on the stage, if they wish to intro
ducc very funny character, they put red
wig on him. This is not as it should be. be-
cause we have seen some rcd hair that was
really beautiful; and in ancient times, nations
who were the most polished, the most civil
lied, and the most skllful in the fine arts
were passionatcly fond of red hair.
The Gauls, ancestors of the modern
French. La | the same preference, though the
color is now in disrcpute as their descend
ants like black hair. A taste for red hair,
however, still exists in extensive regions
The Turks, for example, are fond of women
who have rcd hair, while the modern Per-
SLAMS have strong aversion to it. The in.
hahtants of Tripoli, who probably learned
from the Turks, gave their hair red tingc
by the use of vcrinillion. The women of
Scinde and Decean are fond of dycing their
hair rcd and yellow. as the Romans did, in
imitation of German hair. There is in Euro
peans generally strong dislike to red hair,
but in Spain, red hair is admired almost to
alteration. and there is a story told of one of
our naval commanders, who luxuriated in
fiery locks, being idolzed and carcsscd in
consequence by the Spanish women, an
looked upon as perfect Adonis.

The Earth that we Walk on.

1t may surprise some readers to learn that
all the earths--clay, flint, chalk. &c, are
nothing more than the rust of metals that at
one time, during the age of this world, they
were all shining. brilliant metals. Gco,ogist
speak OF the earth as being hundreds of
thousands of years cid. All their philosophy
is based upon mechanical science: TIE forma-
ton OF Strata. the upAcaving of noun ta;ns,
the burying Of forests, have been attributed
TO some great CONFUSION that is, to some
shaking together of the carth's crust
Whether this greet age of the world he true
or not, it is very certain that before any of
these events could have taken pace, the for
nation Of each Of the carths must have been
the work of ages; otherwise the metals, of
which their base consists, could not have
so completely rustcd as to assume an earthly
texture. To understand this, we must leave
the mechanical, that is, the geological theory
1t cannot be disputed that the first changes
of the carth's surface were of purely chm
ical nature. Combinations took place then
as now; the metallic bass, by mere contact
with the atmosphere or water, passing into
oXyds, as the chemist calls them, or earths,
as expressed in daily conversation. Chemists
thus recognize something like forty different
kinds of these oXyds or earthly bodies some
being very scarce, and others as plentiful.
BY the merest touch Of air, some of the me
tallic bases of these carths Instantly pass in.
to the rusty or earthly state; some, by con-
tact with water, arc SO energetic that they
burst into flame.
BY this process of reasoning. we come to
the conclusion that the world is one mass OF
globe of mixed metals, of which the mere
crust has become rusted, or of earthly form:
the outer riEd, as if it were, preventing any
rapid combination taking place with the
metallic surface, five or six miles below the
face of the dry land. Eruptions from vol
canoes are probably produced by the sea get
ting down to the metallic surface. through
some fissure in the Garth S crust; dccomposi-
ton of the water then takes place--firc,
lame and steam causing an eruption. 1t
would be an instructive lesson to man to
quarry into the earths crust to the depth of
ten or twelve miles. --Scicntifr american.
