LAKE ONTARIO IN TIRE TINE OF NoAH,--
Mr.. II. Skeel sends us a communication from
South Butler, Wayne county, N. Y, in which
he makes very curious and interesting state
ment. Promising the account of his 'dscov-
cry with the general supposition that the sur
face level of Lake Ontario was, ages age, sew
eral hundred feet higher than its present po-
sition, and of course that its waters submerg-
ed many miles of the country now surround.
ing it, and which is now covered with cities
and villages, he says:
al have discovered the former outlet oI
this Eake when it occupied its ancient terri
tory and before the River st. Lawrence had
being. have proofs incontrovertable on
this point, and BY them am convinced beyond
a doubt of the truth of what have stated
This ancient outlet emptied the waters Of
Lake Ontario into the Valley of the Mohawk
at or near the locality of Rome, Oneida CO.
thence into the Atlantic. This discovery il
the result Of actual observations made at the
point of egress from the ancient lake, while

From Graham's Magazine.
THERE is ONE WHO w ATCHES O'EH ALL
Tonight, who Drift Despairiug on.
BY ADA NJ. RENNICo

Ny spirit is floating out tonight,
On a madly-surging sea;
There CLEANS aiar, no beacon light,
Ger the desert-waste to guide Alright,
But all is darksoine, desolate night,
Wherever my course may be-
While evermore, phautom band,
The buried hopes of lifetime stand;
From their Swallowed graves on the shining sand,
They come-they come, and no merciful hand
Restraints the heaving sea.
And still comes ere that fitful straiu?
Oh! where can the lone one flee!
Hush hush, thy moaning, thou pititul rain,
Though faot on "a wild, deserted main,
1t cannot be, mid despair and PAIN
That none do care for me.
Alas! there is naught but the cheerless cloud,
For noblcst dreams a shadowy shroud;
Ard where they rose in triumph proud,
Nj soul in bitter grief is bowed,
Alone on starlcss sea.
Down into untried ways, ween,
We will 60, my soul, alone,
Where never n human heart hath been,
Past the altar-veil that lies between
The drcariest depths OF darkness seen,
And the high, eternal dawn.
Above the storm-fiend's tercest might,
There dwclleth ever, q beacon light;-
Gaze, and be still, on its promise bright
There is One who watcheth DER all, tonight,
Who drift despairing on.

Music.

There are moments in our lives when we arc un-
fit forits sterner realities, Meditation at such
times removes all desire for the more active pur-
suits of life. A kind of dreamy quiet steals over
the mind. We seem lost in our own thoughts
which are apt TO center upon frivolities. This is
more apparent at the hour OF twilight If left
alone, surrounded by slumberng nature, kind Of
inertness possesses the mind which is almost COM
fort. Then it is that music conveys soft melody.
1t murmurs in unison with nature-in harmony
with the universe. Then it is that the god of song
plays upon the heartstIings Instrumental music
at such times has a peculiar charm. As the tone
of the harp varies--as the air changes from the
sombre to the gay, our feelings seem to be swayed
by its magic influence. We are led captive by its
many variations we seem entranced by its glow
ing accents, and cnraptured by its pleasing har-
mony.
Music has its throne in the bosom of nature
As its plantve notes swell out on the soft air of
evening, it seems to awaken a sense of the sublime
in nature. AS the twilight hour grows dim, and
nature seems in trance, then it is that music is
beaRtifIl The heart is buried in the funess Of its
ioy The tender chords Of our being reverberate
to its accents 1t is an antidote for the afflicted and
herein il possesses an absolute merit We hear its
distant echoes in the deep recesSes Of the forest
and we safely say that it is part Of nature. 1t
adds to nature kind of spell which alone ceases
with itself The ripping of the little rll is music;
the Joyous song of birds is the sweetest Of melody
even the cold autumnal wind bears with it a
kind Of mournful musc-it is the funeral dirge Of
summer
But to sit at eve and listen to the busy hum OF
closing day has thrilling charm. All nature
seems to render up hymn in united praise. Mu-
sic while it delights never vitiates We rise from
its enjoyment purer and more holy. SCRIBE

Desperate Conflict between Lion and an
AnteloDe.

NNN ~-
Antelope.
DR., Livingstone gives a very interesting de-
scription of a fight he Witnessed in Africa be
tween lion and antelope. The Doctor and his
guides had Just emerged from narrow defile be-
tween two rocky hills, when they heard an angry
howl, which they knew to be that OF "the mon
arch of the forest" At distance Of not more
| than forty yards in advance Of them, a gems
box stood at bay while huge, tawny lion was
crouched on a rocky platform, above the level o
the plain, e7idenlly meditating an attack on The
antelope; only space Of about twenty feel
separated the animals. The Ion appeared TO De
animated with the greatest fury; the gemsbol
was apparently calm and resolute, presenting
/ his well fortified head to The enemy.
The lion cautiously changed his position de-
scended to the plain, and made a circuit, obvi
ously for the purpose of attacking the gems
box in the rear, but the latter, was on the alert
and still turned his head towards his antagonist
( This maucuverng lasted for half an our,wher
/ il appeared 10 the observers that the gemsbUl
used a stra.ugem to induce the lion TO make
his assault. The flank OF the antelope was, iol
moment prceeuted TO his titrce assailant A:
! quick as lightning, the lion made a spring, bu
/ while he was yet in the air. the gemsbok turned
his head, bending his neck so as to present onl
Of his spear-like horns at the lions breast. A
terrible laccration was the consequences; the lior
fell back on his hauNchcs, aud showed ghastly
wound in the tower part Of his neck. He Ut
tered howl OF rcge ana anguish, and backed
off to distance of fifty yards, seeming half dis
posed to give up the contest, but hunger, fury
. or revenge once more inpelled him forward.
His second G5saWl. was more furious and head
/ long; he rushed at tha gemsbok and attemp;cr
to t4ap over the formidable horns in order tC
ali,hl on his back. The gemsbok still standin.
/ on the defensive, elevated his head, speared ttt

Gsnns hath triumph, fame its glory, wealth

A Physicians Evidence on Dancing.

That beautiful, graceful accompi,h ,hmsnt OF
dancing, so pervtrted b. hate h ,urS AM III in-
decency of fashionable attire, has outraged many
sensible people and led them to deprive the
young of one OF the most simple and healthfuI
enjoyments because it has been abused. For
myself, | can testify, not only to its h'alth(ul.
but 10 its recuperative power. The fortieth
nay, the fftieth year of my age, found me chi W
ing this life-cheering exercise 1t should b. one
of the earliest amusements of children, and care
should BE- taken by parents that it is unders TODD
as an anus men'. While am on this topic
will mention casa that occurred in my prac.
tice. A thoughtful, anxious mother, who had
lost three chlldrrn, brough, to me her only re-
maning daug her-her temperament ner, Gus
bilious ths n-rvous fearfully predominant,
with great irritHbility of the system--pc.vish
passionate, dyspeptic, sleepess--of course cx
acting, arbitrary an uncomfortable; the poor
child looked sad, old, morbid and miserable -
She had been to schools because her parents
thought il an amusement for her to b. with other
children, After critically eXuning her physuS.
nomy, [ snid TO her mother:
"What is the temperament of your hu,blnd2'
"The same as my own" she replied
"Then the child is doubly stamped" I con.
tinued, AMI very vigorous measures must b.
used, il YOU expect to restore her to health. Di.
vorce her imm .diately from anything mental SO
far as memorzing is cOncernrl--then s'nd her
to dancing school, that she may combine exercise
with order and melody, and thus some Of her
rough edges may BE- rounded"
The chil1--her large eyes wide open with
wonitr and delight--ineuuptrtI:
Dancing school? o, how I've longsd to co.
but mother says its wrong, and lead.s to wick,
edness."
What dilemma for a physican What a
dilemma for child!
"Did you ever intend yom daughter to play
the piano, guitar, or other musical instrument?'
said to the mother. .....f. ..
80, Yes" she answered
"Why," | continued, "why show such PARTIAL
ty to the UPPER exremites? The hands are rem
der5d happy as medium ofmGIody; the let are
rendered equally happy in the same way"
A nice afternoon school received the little
girl, who grew in health and harmony every
month as she followed the hygienic rules pre-
scribed for her. Dancing is a healthrul, baouti-
ful, grateful recreation, and is not responsible
for the abuses luxury has thrown around it. The
vulgarism and excitement of the ballroom have
no more to do with the simple enjoyment OF the
dance than the rich wines and sumptuons ban,
quets Of The gourmand, in whom they induce
disease, have to do with the temperate repdst
that satisfy the natural wants of the body.-Dg.

Good Tcnnplcrs.

Mrs. /. D. Gage, writing to the Ohio Cultiud-
tor from St. Louis, makes the following remarks
about this new and popular temperance or
ganization: ..... . .
Iattended public festival or meeting of the
Grand lodge OF Good Templars in this city an
organization which has lately sprung up in our
midst, and bids fair to do active service in the
Temperance cause. 1t is the only organization
that | know Of unless it be the Society of Friends
where men and women stand upon the same plat
form, on terms of perfect equality; where women
may hold the highest office and every intermGdi
ate one, down to the lowest, provided she has
influence enough to cary in her favor a majority
of voters-and all members are voters. In this
society, small and unostentatious, the father and
mother, son and daughter, may all be members
together, and the little boy and girl OF twelve, are
permitted to go with parents to hear The subjects
discussed nightly, and TO have mind aud body
streng thened against the fell destroyer. 1t is the
only temperance organization endorse with o
full approval, because it is the only one that pre-
| serves the family circle inviolate. God speed
them all each in its own way is doing good; but
this one seems to me to do two.fold work to
elevate women, to lift her up and give her conf
dence in herself, and to unite in a closer and
truer bond the household interests and loves.
| In many Of the Lodges there is quite spirit
of Improvement, and the introduction of a news
paper of original matter, add much to the zest OF
the meetings. The Lodges are gradually incrcas-
ing in numbers and strength, and can witness q
constantly growing recognition of woman's
power to aid and develop good works.
| In our Lodge, last night, we had some SHARP
| joking at the expense of our dear old Ohio State
The Hog Cholera was discussed, and the conclu.
sion arrived at that it was the "deyil" of the still
house that had entered into the swine, and that
instead of rushing into the sea 10 perish, the poor
animals, for the want OF a sea to cool their
burning bodies, had laid down and died of chol-
era.
Ohio is doing a terrible work for the world, in
converting her itch resources into a means of de-
structiun to health, happiness, quiet and good
order. | see in the Ohio papers boast thai
that State manufactured more barrels ofwhiskey
!han any other State in the Union. Father
forgive them, they know not what they dc. >
When will the farmers learn TO turn the toll o.
| their hands to better work?
