The vincennes Gazette gives an account Of a
negro who was found in the river on the Illinois
side, about three miles below town, a day or two
previous, frozen to death. He was out hunting,
and we are informed was standing erect, with ice
frozen around bis knees, and his gun still on his
shoulder. II is supposed that his feet becoming
cold and breaking through the ice the water felt
warm, and, grsdus lily falling into sleep, he was
stiffened into corpse.

THE South, with that regulator Of commerce

that we are in earnest, and resolved to do 80.
In truth cotton is the great civzer, the great pa

mankind. Should Northern fanaticism and bigotry
drive us to an extremty-thst Is, out of the

THE Bravery OF THE ADMIsIsrRATIos--DEMo
CRATIC TEsrIMosY.-The Richmond (Virginia)
Examiner, in discussing the Presidents message,
says:
We confess we are surprised at the disclosures
of the message In respect to the British recruiting
operations in this country. We are surprised that
we heard nothing of British recruits being noosed
out and put In JAIL and British officers being warn
ed of or arrested, while it was all going on. There
was no buster and ferocious energy displayed
while Britain was doing these things in our midst I;
but when poor Nicaragua was charged with the
like practices, forthwith great steamers were fired
into by brave clippers, and unarmed passengers
promptly arrested and put into the New York jas
by the score. We are sorry for these things. We
are provoked at the attitude in which the message
places our republic before the world in these mat
ters We are Inundated at the reflection that at
the very time we should be debating and enforcing
an American policy for the American continent,
we are backing ignominiousy out of all our former
positions, and allowing ourselves to be buled by
a hectoring power that never fails to domineer
over cowardice and pusllanimity.

Northern New York were not so extensive,
but the Cleveland Iron Mountain in the Lake
Superior country, rose TO the height of l,039
feet above the lake, with a breadth of 900
feet, and was entirely composed Of iron ore
Along its summit were numerous other knobs
20 to 100 feet in height, which we're perfect
pure. There was numerous other mountains
in Missouri which furnished equally pure ores.
The ores thus found were almost always oftwo
kinds. specular and magnetic. The specular
predominaled in Sweden, Superior, and Mis-
souri, while magnetic prevailed in Northern
New York. In Superior the iron beds lay
between trap and talcose slate; in Missouri
porphyry was near; in New York it seemed
to have been sedimentarily deposited in lenlic-
ular masses, and afterwards subjected to meta
morphic action; these all in azoic rocks. As
the aZoic periods were more violent in their
action than later periods, it was probable that
what was thrown up during those periods came
from deep portion of the earth, and we might
hence infer that there we're great deposits of
pure iron deep down in the earth.-Scientifc

Religion and Business.

An individual upon being reproached for
some dishonorable transaction in business, as
Inconsistent with religion, replied, what has
religion TO do with buslnessr The answer
demonstrated either his ignorance, or wicked
ness, or both. But if we may judge from their
conduct, this is the sentiment of many profess
ors, although, perhaps, they would not aVow
it, Are thev not acting as if religion had
nothing to do either with business, with tenn
per, or with our domestic or social relations !
as if it were matter of opinion, DEVOTION
or CEREMONY thing of the cloister, or closet
or sanctuary, which is 10 be confined TO lis own
retreats, and never 10 be allowed to approach
the scenes of worldly business and secular pur-
suits-a rule to direct us how we are 10 con-
ulate our worship; and which, having done
this, has accomplished its object!
Is not this, | say, the view which, if we may
jndge by their behavior, many take of religion
But can there be anything more inaccurate,-
Religion is permanent, all-pervading, un-
changing principle, possessing kind of uni
versatility of nature. 1t must go with US, not
only in the sanctuary of God, or into the close,
of private devotion, but into all places; il must
regulate our cnnduct not only toward the
church, but TO the world it must operate up
on us, and influence us, not only on Sabbath,
sacramental, and fast days, but at all times :;
and must dictate, not only how we pray, and
read the Bible, and keep holy the Lords day,
but how we buy ard sell, and get gain. Re-
ligion has no exclusive time, or place, or
sphere of lis own. but is matter of all times
places and scenes.
My friend, religion has to do with business
whether you admit it or not, and if your re-
ligion dues not go with your business or daily
labor, yon NAV conclude that il is not a proper
kind of religion Your religion may have
nothing To do with business be assured God S
religion has, and it is only that religion iha,

KEEP THE Mourn SHUT DURING COLD

Hall advises every person who goes into the
open air from warm apartment, TO keep the
mouth shut while walking or riding. He
says:
Before you leave the room bundle up we'll
gloves, cloak, comforter-shut your mouth be-
fore you open the street door, and keep it re-
solutely closed until you have walked briskly
tor some ten minutes then if you keep on
walking, or have reached your home, you may
talk as much as you please. Not so doing,
many heart once happy and young now lies
in The churchyard, that might have been
young and happy still. But how If you keep
your mouth closed and walk rapidly, the air
can only reach the lungs by circuit Of the
nose and head, and becomes warmed before
reaching the lungs, thus causing no derange-
ment; but if you converse, large drafts of cold
air dash directly in upon the lungs, chilling
the whole frame almost instantly. The brisk
walking throws the blood TO the surface of the
body, thus keeping up vigorous circulation.

Curiosities Of W ater.


Nor is the hailstone less soluble in earth
than in air. Placed under a bell glass with
twice its weight of lime, it gradually melts
and disappears; and there remain four parts,
instead OF three, of perfectly dry earth under
the glass. Of plaster of Paris statue, weigh
ing five pounds, more than one good pound is
solidifed water. Even the precious opal is
but mass OF flint and water, combined in the
proportion of nine grains of the earthly ingre-
dient to one of the fluid. Of an acre of clay
land foot deep, weighing about one thousand
two hundred tons, at least four hundred tons
are water and even of the great mountain
chains with which the globe is ribbed, many
millions of tons are wafer soidifed into earth
Water, indeed, exists around us to an ex-
tent and under conditions which escape the
notice of cursory observers. When the dyer
buys of the dry salter one hundred pounds each
of alum, carbonate of soda, and soap, he OBJ
tains in exchange for his money no less than
forty-fve pounds of water in the first LOT, six
ty-four pounds in the second, and variable
quantity, sometimes amounting TO seventy
three and half pounds, in the third. Even
the transparent air we breathe contains, in or
dinary weather, about five grains of water DIFF
fused through each cubic foot of its bulk, and
thus rari6ed water no more vets the air, than
the solidifed water vets the lime or opal in
which it is absorbed.

IRoN SHIPS. There are now lying in our
port two ships which are we'll worth the at
ton of all persons interested in naval architec

Pride of Canada. They were both built IL.

city for freights to the former ports. Inc
hulls are entirely of iron, and each vessel Is
divided into four compartments. separated from
each other by iron fre-proof partitions, and
either compartment, if all the others are filled
with water. is sufficient to float the ship so
long as it remains water tight and even if all
these are filled, there are water tanks which,
if pumped out, will yet keep everything afoat.
It would seem, therefore, that as far as an in
surahce against sinking is concerned, they are
as secure as could well be possible. The rig
ging of the City of Montreal is of the ordinary
materials, but that of the Pride of Canada is
of iron Charleston Standard.
