VOLCANO AT HILo.

We have again alarming news from
Hilo. The lava is in violent action, and
directly towards Hilo. A
man who went up to watch Its progress
was hemmed in by sudden flow of the
lava, from which there was no escape but
by jumping into the river, which he did,
and, as the water was nearly at boiling
heat, the poor fellow was sealded to death.
1t is perfectly impossible to conceive of
the awful grandeur of this lava stream !:
imagine a river of molten iron, three
miles in width, flowing on, sometimes SO
gradually, though surely, that its progress
is scarcely perceptible; at other times
sweeping down steep declivity in a rap
id and resistless torrent, fearful by day,
and terrible by night. No obstacle can
stay its march. A more awful sight can
not be imagined. 1t cuts down immense
forests, which, by their tremendous fires,
turn night into day. It pours its molten
torrent over preeipices in one unbroken
sheet, in a fall of hundreds of feet, into
deep and broad ravine, which, deep as
it is, proves but straw IN It's resistless
progression no matter how deep and
broad the rayine, it is soon filed up with
the cooling lava, to level with the plain
and the unbroken current moves on, lev,
cling and destroying everything in it:

ful spot, Hilo, we'fear there viii be moth

NEBUCHEDNEZZAR FOUND.

Ii is stated that Col. Rawlinson, who is
at present engaged in prosecuting the dis
coveries commenced by Layard and Botta,
and in exhuming from the mounds of the
long lost rival cities of Nineveh and Bah
ylon, the instructive remains of this once
gigantic power, has lately discovered in
a state of perfect preservation, what is
believed to be the mummy of Nebuched-
nezzar. The face of the rebelIious mon
arch of Babylon, covered by one of those
gold masks usually found in Assyrian
tombs, is described as very handsome
the forehead high and commanding, the
features marked and regular. This in
teresting relic Of remote antiquity, is for
the present preserved in the Museum Of
the East India Company.
OF all the mighty empires which have
left a lasting impression on the memory
none has 50 completely perished as that
of Assyria. More than two thousand
years have gone by, since the two great
cities" renowned for their strength, their
luxury, and their magnifcence, have
crumbled into dust, leaving no visibl,
trace Of their existence, their very site
forgotten, A chance traveller, Layard
riding through the AIesopotamian valley
discovered "the buried city," and with 4
success that will immortalise his name
has commenced 10 unroll the book 0
Assyrian history and civilization, which
Of all the histories Of the first period 0
the world, is most clearly connected witt
the subsequent destinies Of the human
race. The discoveries already made fur
nish ample testimony 10 refute the seeptl'
and unbelieyer Of scripture truth.

TIME FOR MATRIMoNY.

The most proper age for entering the
holy bands Of matrimony has been much
discussed, but never settled. / am en-
titled to my opinion; and, although I
cannot here give the grounds on which
it rests, the reader may take it for granted
that ] could adduce, were this the proper
place, a great number of weighty rea-
sons, both moral and physical, for the
dogma, then, which would inculcate is
this,-that matrimony should not be con-
tracted before the first year of the fourth
septenial, on the part of the female, nor
before the last year OF the same, in the
case of the male: In other words, the
female should be, at least twenty one
years Of age, and the male twenty-eieht
years. That there should be seven wears
difference between the sexes, at whatever
period of life the solemn contract is en-
tered upon, need not be urged, as it is
universally admitted. There is a differ
ence of seven years, not in the actual du-
ration of life, in the two sexes, but in the
stamina Of the constitution, the symmetry
of the form, and the lineaments of the
face. The wear and tear Of bringing up
+ family might alone account for this in
equality but there are other causes in
herent in the constitution, and independ-
ent of matrimony or celibacy.
In respect to early marriage, as far as
1t concerns the softer sex, have to OBJ
E serve, for every year at which the hy-
menial knot is tied below the age of twen-
ty-one, there will be, on an everage, three
, years of premature decay of the corporal
fabric, and considerable abbreviation of
! the usual range of human existence. It
o Is IN vain to point out instances that seem
= to nullify this calculation. There will be
individual exceptions to all general rules.
o The above will be found fair average
i estimate. On the moral consequences of
: too early marriages it is not my inten-
# ton to dilate, though / could adduce
: many strong arguments against, and very
,s few in favor of the practice. 1t has been
sald that "matrimony may have miseries
but celibacy has no pleasures" As far
! as too early marriage is concerned, the
adage onght to run thus" marriage.

ion is, that, were the whole of the adul
population registered as they came o

THE CONDOR.

The Condor is the largest winged bird
known, its extended wings measuring
from tin tn tin about fifteen feet If Is
no doubt, of all creatures living upon the
earth, the one that can remove farthest
from it
The terrestrial localities of this gigan-
tic bird are comprised in zone which
extends from about 1000 to 5000 feet
above the sea, and the height at which it
habitually scars, according to Humboldt,
is six times that at which clouds are sus-
pended over the plains of Europe
While searching for food, it descends to
the plains which border the Cordilleras,
and Humboldt has called attention to the
remarkable physiological fact, that the
same individual which breathes so easily
the rarifed air of the loftiest regions
should sometimes suddenly descend to the
sea-shore, thus passing rapidly through
all climates, and every condition of at
mosphere. 1t was formerly believed, in
connection with experimental observa.
tions on the air pump, that no creature
could live under so low pressure; but
it is not known that the species breathe a,
well when the barometer stood only
twelve inches, as if it stood at thirty
Its most frequent haunts range from
10000 to 10000 feet above the sea-
| These lofty regions are known vernacu
larly by the name of Condor's nest, al
though the female is believed to lay he
eggs upon the arid rock. There, perchet
in dreary solitude on the crests of scat
tered peaks, at the very verge of the re
: gion OF perpetual snow, these dark, gi
gantic birds are seen silently reposing lik
melancholy spectres. But however viii
: and savage may be their baunts and hah
its, the tales narrated of their carrvin
off young persons ten or twelve years c
: age, may be regarded as fabulous by an
{ one who has examined their feet and la
: ons, which, though long, and in some re
t spects powerful, are but slightly curvec
{ There is scarce an instance of their a.
/. saulting even a child.

MIDNIGHT.

Huferland, in his treatise on sleep, has
some curious as we'll as forcible ideas on
the necessity of devoting midnight to rest
and sleep. He considers that the period
of twenty-four hours, which is produced
by the regular revolution of the earth on
Its axis, marks its influence most definitely
on the physical economy of man. Dis
eases show this regular influence in their
daily rise and fall. Settled regular fever
exhibits twenty-four hours flux and re-
flux. In the healthful state, there is
manifest the same regular influence, and
the more habitual our meals, our hours
of exercise or employment, and our hours
of sleep, the more power is there in the
system to resist disease. In the morning
the pulse is slow and the nerves calmer,
and the mind and the body better fitted
for labor. As we advance toward the
evening of the day, the pulse becomes
accelerated, and an almost feverish state
is produced which, in excitable persons,
becomes an absolute evening fever
Rest carries off this fever by its sleep
and the refreshing opening of its pore,
which sleep produces. In this nightly
respiration, there is an absolute crisis o
this evening fever, and this periodical
crisis is necessary to every one, for it car
ries off whatever useless or perniciou
particles our bodies may have imbibed.
The evening fever, Huferland thinks
is not entirely owing to the accession o
new chyle to the system, but to the de
parture of the sun and of the light. Th
crisis of this fever, to be most effectiv
by its regularity, ought to take place a
midnight when the sun is in its nadir, an
then the body becomes refreshed for til
early morning labor. Those who neglec
: this period, either push this diurnal cris
into the morning, and thus undermine th
1 importance of its regularity, or lose
entirely, and arise to their labors unr,
freshed by sleep. Their bodies will n,
have been purified by the nightly crisi
: and the seeds of disease will have thu
been planted.
Nervous people are peculiarly subie
:, to the influence of this evening fever, al
Il think they cannot labor without its e
Z citement. Hence their mental efforts a
performed III the night alone the II
ii portant time for the crisis of their ne
vous excitement passes over in wakefl
ness, and no refreshing perspiration clea
u ses the body or strengthens the nerve
IS Such people will wear out soon, unle
? they change their habits and seek re
Il when nature and the human constitute,
: dictate.
These considerations ought to be dee
ly studied and regarded by all who are
'' the ruinous habit of turning night in
day, and of changing the functions
u each.
Al A failure of health viii soon manif,
u the truth of these remarks.

would have been broken; for what was
more out of the natural course of events
than that, at two o'clock in the morning,
the idea should come into the head OIL
any man to go to his pifice, and SIT down
in the lonely rooms in his department, for
no purpose of business or pleasure, but
simply from not knowing what to do with
himself?
Or if, when he had LET himself into
those solitary rooms, the book of entries
had not lain on the table; (and this we
presume to have been among the chan
ces, as we can scarcely suppose books OF
this official importance to be generally
left to their fate an the servants and
messengers of the Office; J or, if the en-
try, instead of being on the first page
that opened to his eyes, had been any
other, even the second, as he might new
er have taken the trouble of turning the
page; or if he and the chief clerk of the
| Crowns house, and, instead OF finding
him at the moment of getting into the
carriage, had been compelled to incur
delay of bringing him back from the
country, all the proceeding events would
have been useless. The people would
have died at York, for, even as it was
they were stopped on the very verge Of
execution.
The remarkable feature of the whole
is, that the chain might have been snap
ped at every link, and that every link
was equally important. In the calcula
ton of the probably of any one of thes'
occurrences, mathematician would fnC
the chances very nard against the prob
ability of the whole. If it is asked wheth
er a sufficient ground for this high inter
position is to be discovered in saving tn
lives of a few wretched culprits, who, a
frequently in such cases, probably re
turned to their wicked trade as soon a
they escaped, and only plunged then
, selves into deeper iniquity the answe
is, that it is not for US, in our ignoranc,
tomete out the value of human life, how
ever criminal in the eyes of heaven.
