THE TIMES WE LIVE IN.

some OF THE CAUSES OF CRIME.-Ihat the
times we live in are hsrzl times--hard, not in
money matters, we mean not that now-but
hard in morals-al must admit. Every day
seems to bring to light some new phase of i'm
morality crime The heart is sickened
the head made dizzy by one revelation after
another of new developments of ancient wick
edness. What an astounding list of crimes,
Eisdemeanors and folliesi See it-reader, if
one word to many you find in the enumeration,
blot it out--but deal honestly. PeTjuries, for
geries, swindling, elopements, violation Of
marriage vows and engagements, seductions,
flial disobedience, and that basis sin of all,
drunkenness. What word, reader, in this cat
egory, is misplaced Can you honestly erase
one 2 Nay, do you not know of individuals
who are guilty of all the sins specified by those
names
Look over into heathen lands What worse
there do you see than you will find in these
United States If anything, tell us. Do you
point to the widow roasting to death on the
funeral pile Horrible, truly-but behold
its counterpart at home. Sec the wife of the
drunkard--thc voluptuary, the more than
wretch of husband dead to shame and virtue,
and then compare her lingering, living death,
to the quickly consummated one of the heath
en- woman.
All, but you point now to the innocent babe,
with its little life gurglng out of its throat as
Ganges water trickles into it. Heart rending,
verify But see here, in this nominally Chris
tian land-the degraded mother, abandoning
all her little ones, to go down the cold stream
OF life to some hospitable harbor, or to be lost
for ever under its turbd waves, as it may come
and this that she may be the temporary com
panion of the scoundrcl paramour, who soon
will cast her off as nauseous, decaying weed.
All! you are looking at Juggarnaut and its
crushed victims-voluntary victims Horri
bic, indeed-but look at home, and see the
voluntary victims of the Demon Drunkenness.
The heathen throws but himself under The roll
ling bone and life crushcr-but under Alco-
hol's car, the father throws with himself his
wife and childrca, and all are crushed. Oh!
look then at home, and te not self-complacent,
after your glance at heathen lands.
What are some Of the causes Of this sad state
Of affairs We can barely hint at some of them
the index merely give. The haste to become
rich-the follies of the so-called fashionable
life-the disgusting apeing of foreign folles-
the balls Of the rich and the poor, and the
more cheaply bound edition thereof, the vul-
gar dance house-for the dances are very
much the same, bringing the sexes into dis
gusting contact-ilthy literature-obscene
picturcs-indelicate statuary--a vitiated and
vitiating secular press in some instances
These, and more than these, have all been
brought on by slow Representation move
ments-by the insinuating proccss-until that
is now boldly done and looked at, which ten
years ago wonld have given virtues face the
appearance Of apoplexy, and made even chival-
ric libertines ashamed d.-Phila Sun.

CREATION OF THE HUMAN RACE.-Dr. Hitch
cock, the eminent geologist. said in . recent
discourse delivered by him in Albany, that
geological science places man among the most
recent OF created things. We find the surface
of the earth, says DR.. H, composed to the
depth of some eight or ten miles. of rocks
The rocks are full of the remains of animals
and plants. Thirty thousand species Of them,
which differ from any living species, have been
diSinterred, yet no human remains are found
among them, until the loose soil-alluvium-
is reached, which soil is universally acknowl-
edged to be of recent origin. The remains Of
animals are found several thousand feet 5elow
the surface. But, if man bad been in exis-
tence when these other animals lived whose
remains were found at such depts, bis remains
would also be found there for his bones are
OF the same structure as theirs, end not likely
to resist dest.uction.
