CUNNING OF THE Fox.--The Dumfries
(Scotland) Courier Says gentleman in the
Highlands send the editor of that paper the
following note:
A gamekeeper on the estate near Lochawe,
who had been annoyed by the deprcdations
of foxes, discovered kennel in glen at the
side of small loch. While watching one
evening for the appearance Of the tenants he
observed brace of wild ducks floating on
the lech. In little while fox was seen
approaching the water-side with cautious
steps; on reaching it he picked up bunch
of heather and placed it in his mouth, so as
to cover his head; then slipping into the
water and immersing all but his nose, he
foated slowly and quietly down to where
the birds We're quacking out delight infan-
cied security, seeing nothing near them but
bunch Of weed. In due time he neared the
ducks, dropped the heather and seized a
duck, with which he returned to the loch-
side, and was making off to his young with
the prize, when the keeper who had noted
all his movements, closed them by the dis
charge Of his double barrel. Surely such
sagacity deserved, better fate.

gREMARKADLE APPLICATION OF SCRIr-
ruRE.-A correspondent of the Syracuse
Journal. Of June 18th says; In
GA paragraph in the. Journal Of yester-
day, headed 'Proofs Of Holy Writ res
minds me of an incident connected with
the execution of Rev. DR.. Dodd, who was
hung in England for forgery several years
ago. He was an active and successful
preacher, but in an hour of pressing Pc
cuniary embarrassment, he signed the
name Of friend as endorser Of draft,
intending 10 pay the bill himself at ma
turity. The fraud was discovered ana
according to the stern law Of that period
he was condemned to die.
His enemies exultcd over his downfall,
and as he was passing ohis execution, a
oman more bitter than the rest, pressed
forward and tauntingly said "Where now
is the Lord thy God?"
DR.. Dodd quietly turned and babe the
woman 90 home and read Micah 7lh chaps
ter, 9th, 9th and 10Th. verses.
She did so and Immediately hung her
self.
The following is the quotation:
"Rejoice not against me, o mine enemy:
When l fall shall arise; when l sit in
darkness, the Lord shall>be a. light unto
me.
Twill bear the Indignation Of the Lord
because l have sinned against him, dnii
he plead my cause and executed judgment
for me: he will bring me forth 10 the light
and shall behold his righteousness.
Then she that is mine enemy shall see
il and shame shall cover her which said
unto me-.Where is the Lord thy God?
Mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she
be trodden down as the mire of the
Streets"

LrrE's DurIEs.-It must, undoubtedly,
be the design Of our gracious God that all
this toll for the supply of our physical
necessities - this incessant occupation
among things that perish-shall be nc
obstruction to our spiritual life. The
weights of clock seem heavy drag on
the delicate movements OF lis machinery
but SO far from arresting or impedln
those movements, it is Indispensable to
their steadiness, balance, accuracy. There
must some analogous action Of what seems
to clog and drag weight of worldly work
on the finer movement Of mans spiritual
being. The planets in the heavens have a
two-fold motion in their orbits and on
their axis; the one not interfering. but
carried on simultaneously, and in perfect
harmony with the other; SO must it be
that mans two. fold activities round the
heavenly and earthly center disturb not,
nor jar with each other. He who dill
gently discharges the duties Of the earthly
may not less sedulously-nay, at the same
moment-fulfill those Of the heavenly
sphere; at once :'diligent in business" and
'fervent in serving the Lord.'-Casrd

NEW THEoRY.-A writer in the National
Inteligencer is advocating the theory that
the moon is simply an Indicator of the eartl's
electric changes that the moon itself
has no appreciate effect upon the planet
that the moon is a fragment of the earth, is
negative to it, and revolves upon it's own
axis within the earth's atmos, here that
the earth is enveloped in an ocean of el c.
trio vapor, dense and compound on its solid
surface, whose gasses separate, however, as
they deepen outward, the rare always ema-
mating from and resting on the more dense,
until we reach in outward order Flourine,
electricity and magnetism, that subtle ele-
ment pervadingall space and that observ-
ing the various atmospheric strata above
and the solid above us, it is not difficult
to perceive that men, animals and vegetable
forms are existing in the centre of the earth's
qualification. The electric lines of no va
riations are those extending from the north
to the south pole; the dia-maguetic or da.
electric lines are those extending around the
earth from west to east, and ever variable.
1t is the variableness of those Gia-electric
currents, says this writer, that produces all
the phenomena attributed to the influence
of the moon upon the earth.
