SUCCESSIVE FoREs OF THE BRAIN.-
The human brain successfully assumes the
form of the negro, the Malay, the Ameri-
can, and the Mangolian, before it attains
the Caucasian. Even the face parta kes
of these alterations. One of the earliest
points where ossifeation commences is the
lower jaw. This bone is therefore sooner
completed than any other of the head,
and acquires predominance which it new
er loses in the negro. During the soft,
plant state ofthe bones ofthe skull, the
obiong forms which they naturally assume
approaches nearly the permanent shape of
the American. At birth, the fattened
face, and broad, smooth face of the infant,
the position of the eyes, rather towards
the sides of the head, and the widened
space between, represent the Mangoliau
form, which, in the Caucasian, is not OBJ
liberated but by degrees, as the child ad-
vances to maturity.

their blossoms over our young heads, the
flowers on the brink seem to offer them
selves to our young hands; we are happy
IN hope, and we grasp eagerly at the beau
ties around us-but the stream hurries on,
and still our hands are empty. Our course
IN youth and manhood is along wilder
and deeper flood, amid objects more stri-
king and magnificent. We are animated
at the moving pictures and enjoyment and
industry passing us (; we are excited at
some shortliyed disappointment. The
stream bear us on, and our joys and griefs
are alike left behind us. We may BE-
shipwrecked-we cannot be DELAYED
whether rough or smooth, the river has
tens to its home, till the roar of the ocean
is in Our ears, and the tossing of the waves
is beneath our feet, and the land lessons
from our eyes, and the floods are lifted uy
around us, and we take our leave of earth,

voyage there is no witness save the Inf

a sweet smile as you pass on. Any at
tempt at rudeuess, however, would be in
fallibly returned by few inches of a still
etto between the ribs. TO avoid gazing
into room OR into beautiful lady's face,
would be looked upon as desire to inHict
slight. L must say that a compliment
OF the kind 1 have mentioned from an
American, is esteemed more highly than
from their own countrymen, as they con-
Slder ours to come from the heart. while
they know their own is mere empty cour-
tesy.
So, too. if you See lady going from
church to her carriage, she is glad to have
you offer to assist her, even if you are
stranger, and if she is pretty girl, and
you tell her so after she gets in, she pleas
antly thanks you for your admiration, and
both parties separate, pleased with the
kindness of compliment, even if they new
er meet again.
1t strikes our women as rather singular
at hrst. One lady from the Northern
states was utterly shocked, as she ap-
peared IN the streets for the first time, to |
see two gentlemen lift their hats to her
with the compliment,
You are fit for Heaven, lovely and
beautiful American
Yet before she returned she had become
SO accustomed to such compliments that
she felt no astonishment in being told by
the waiter of restaurant that the beauti-
ful lady's refreshments had been paid for
by the gentleman who admired the CLAN
ces of her bright eyes.

SPIR1rUALIsM.-Reviewing a recantation
of a prominent spiritualist the Marysville
Herald says:
"The day of miracles is over. A per-
sonal Deity no longer speaks to man with
audible voice. His angels may watch our
steps and guard us from harm in the per-
ilous journey, but they do not present
themselves to our physical vision. Be-
tween us and the spirit land broad, dark
river flows. We cannot pass it or hold
communion with those on the other side,
until the ferryman Death shall carry us
over. Glimpses of the blooming fields
beyond, the eye of faith may catch, but
not through the agency of tipping tables.
"The substance of things hoped for and
the evidence of things not seen" needs no
such aid. Is it not sacrilege for mortal
man to strive to penetrate the awful mys-
teries of God In His good time the vail
will be lifted, and ''we shall see even as
we are seen and known as we are known y

IHE GREAT MASS AT THE MINNESOTA
MINE.-"On Saturday, says the Lake Su.
perior Miner, Dec. 30, we went under
ground to look at the great mass in the
ten tathom level at the Minnesota Mine, to
which we have before alluded. They are
now at work on the northeast corner of
the copper, which they succeeded in throw
ing out by heavy sand blast. Some for
ty men are constantly at work by night
and day at cutting it up and getting away
the pieces. 1t is fastened very firmly to
the foot wall by strings and little veins of
copper, and this makes it quite difficult to
detach from the rock, but otherwise its
occurrence is quite favorable for getting
out economically. 1t is found to be very
much seamed SO that well placed sand
blasts of ten or twelve kegs of powder will
tear off and throw up Jumps of forty to
sixty tons weight. From twenty to twen-
ty-eight men are constantly at work cut
ting it up, and the ring of hammer and
steel in the level reminds the visitor of a
nail factory. They cut it into pieces of
about 5000 pounds weight each, as near
as they can estimate, that size being the
beast for safety of machinery and conven-
ience of handling. We measured some
cuts: one of them was twenty-nine inches
thick of clean, bright copper, though they
generally can manage to find a place where
it does not require more than eighteen
inches of cutting. How much higher or
lower this great mass extend, time only
will disclose, but it now seems probable
that it is the largest continuous piece of
native copper ever yet discovered.

hes boarding and saving his shiIlings.
So carefully day by day;
While she, on her beau and poodles.
Is throwing them all away.
She lies a-bed in the morning
Till nearly the hour of noon,
Then comes she down swapping and snarlins,
Because she was called SO soon;
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still daubed with paint,
Remains of her last nights bushes
Before she intended to faint.
She doates upon men unshaven,
And men with "the flowing hair;'
She's eloquen over moustaches-
Theygive such foreign air,
She talks Of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon
And though but mouse should meet her.
She sinks away in q swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands so very white,
Her jewels so very heavy,
And her head SO very light!
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she will never own;
Her body's made mostly of cotton;
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with fellow
Who swells with foreign air;
lie marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair,

Both are well mated in life;
She's got fool for husband
He's got a FOOL for his wife.
