Tiae Doom, Of our WorFd.

What this change is to be we dare not
even conjecture, but we see in the heavens
themselves some traces of destructive ele-
men's,and some indications Of their power.
The fragments of broken plsnets-the
descent of meteoric stones upon our globe
the wheeling comets welding their loose
materials at the solar farnace-the volcanic
eruptions Of our w satellte-the appear
ance OF new stars, and. the disappearance
of others-are all fo~reshadows of that i'm
pending CONFUSION to which the system
of the world is doomed. Thus placed up
on a planet which is to be burned up, anti
under heavens which are to pass away +;
thus treading, as it We're on the cemete-
ries, and dwelling on the mausoleums
of former worlds-let US learn the les
son of humility and wisdom, if we have
not already been taught it in the school
of revelation North British Review.

Cosr OF TIE NATIONAL CApIroL.-The
capitol at Washington ought to be a very
handsome building when completed, if we
are to judge by its cost. The various APP
preparations for its extension merely from
Sept. 80, 1851, mounts to $4,325,000,
and to complete this portion Of the work
it is estimated that S~l,l83,183 more will
be required-enaking in all S5,51o,l83.-
The estimate for a new dome is $500
1000, which added to the last named sum
makes $7,Ol0,183. The cost Of the old
building and grounds is reckoned at So
600, 600, SO that the entire cost of the cap
itol when all the improvements now in pro-
|gress are completed, will be above ten NAL
ZION Of dollars.

ALEXANDER vow HUMBOLDT is theking
of Science, and without a eompeer. His
works and achievements are familiar to all
and will form an imperishable monument
to his unsurpassed fame, through all sue
~cessive generations. Personally he is an
object of special attractiveness. His fig
ure is described as not large, but rather
stout-his feet and hands are small, and Of
beautiful form. His silver y hite hair sur
rounds the venerable head; he wears OH
the high, large forehead the mark of gent
us. His eyes are blue, and, notwithstand-
ing his advanced age, are full of express
sion and life. His fine-formed lips reveal
p particular smile, halt sarcastic, half be
nevelent, full of spiritual supremacy
While speaking, he sits bent forward, his
eyes cast to the ground; from time to time
he lifts his head, friendly smiling, thus an
imating the listener. He is, in the trues,
sense, and fullest meaning of the word the
best narrator, the %clearest writer the world
knows. An immense amount of knowl-
edge is always at his control-facts,
names and figures never escape his memo

BRAVE MEN MEETING A wATERY GRAVE
1T has been observed in all accounts O
the loss of the Central America. how brave
Iy, how heroically we may say, the five
hundred met death. There was no COW
ardly shrieking; after the women anf
children were ali sent away in the boats t.
the bark Marine, and those boats did no
return, there was even no cry of despair
but they stood up bravely to the last hour
of life. The statement of II. H. Chilus
one of the rescued passengers, exhibits the
sublimity Of that grand nobleness which
human nature can sometimes evince-un
der great trials:
At I o'clock on Saturday evening, we
saw no possibility of keeping af1oat much
longer, although we felt that if we could
do so until morning, all would be saved,
In a short time a heavy sea for the first
time broke over the upper deck Of the yes
sci and then all hope faded away. Life
nreservers were now supplied to all, and
we sent up two rockets, when a tremen.
ious sea swept over us and the steamer II
a moment went down. | think some 400.
or some $50 souls were launced upon the
ocean at the mercy of the waves. The
storm at this moment had entirely subsi
Iled. We all kept near together, and
went as the waves took us. There was
nothing or very little SAID, except that each
one cheered has .teNoao comrade on. Cour
Iaye was thus kept up for two or three
hours, and | think for that space of time
no one had drowned; but three who could
mot swim became exhausted. after his
qraduatly one By one passed awoy to eter
mtg. The hope that boats would be SEN
Ito us from the two vessels We had spoken
lsoon lied from us, and our trust was alone

could you orr ask fosqa I saw my com
rades sink fast, and at n o'clock thai
night, / was nearly alone upon the ocean
some 200 miles from land.

SpEcULAToRs TRIcKs-IN CoRN.-The
Chicago Democrat says that there is a
large produce house in that city, which
has realized some thousands Of dollars, by
having agents in New York who purchase
a few hundred bushels of corn at a high
feufe-send these sales by telegraph, as
the true condition of the market. As soon
is these high prices get wind on change
the uninitiated buy corn of the very house
in Chicago which has caused the fictitious
advance in New York. Such sharp trans
actions are but a fair sample Of the gam
bling which pervades all branches OF trade

THE SCIENCE OF EATING GRApEs.-Dr.

Underhill has reduced eating grapes to a
science. Here are his directions:
"When in health swallow only the pulp.
When the bowels are costive and you wish
to relax them. swallow the seeds with the
pulp, ejectiug the skin. When you wish
to check a too relaxing state Of the bowels,
swallow the pulp, with the skins, ejecting
the seeds. Thus may the grape be used
as a medicine, while at the same time it
serves as a luxury unsurpassed by any o.
Their cultivated fruit. An adult may eat
from three to four pounds a day with ben
eft. 1t is we'll to take them with, or
Immediately after your regular meals.'

The Madison Argus, after finding con-
siderable fault with the report Of the late
committee Of Investigation in connection
with this Office, has the following candid
admission.
"Yet we are willing 10 give a portion o!

tv in the Office of The present State Super
intendent by which the people have suffer
ed greatly"
'In relation to the administration OF
the affairs of the superintendent office,
We regret to say that too much truth, ap
pears to be contained in the statement Of
the committee, that disorder, neglect
care and delay marked the entire course O

brought"
The remedy the Argasproposes for this
state Of affairs, is to put another member

WHERE SHALL THEY GOETHE Pro-
Slavery ministers who seeded from the
New School Presbyterian Church, have
great trouble in locating themselves com
fortably elsewhere. A proposition having
been made hat they should join the Old
School, one, DR.. Boyd, thus protested:
The chief argument against our going to
the Old School Church, is that the Church
Is tainted nth 46oiitaonssna. DR.. B. here
produced a very ingenious and luminous
argument to prove this assertion. He
showed that the Old School Assembly in
1915 had fully endorsed the celebrated
action Or testimony of the Assembly of
1878, which declared Slavery to. be "a SIM"
a gross violation of natural rights" &c,
d declaration which he declared to be the
very essence of the most offensive Aboli-
rionism; the very thing which we have
protested hat the Assembly had no au-
i~lIority, either from the Bible or orr Con
stitution, for making. And yet DR.. Rob
ert j. i~eckenridge, of Kentucky, and Dr..
n. L. Rice, of Missouri, have explicitly
said they endorse that action as right
This Abolition principle is in The very
blood and homes of that Church. There
in the Western Presbytery this faint is
showing itself. The Cincinnati Old School
paper is rabidly Abolition, and it is the
avowed purpose Of its patrons to make the
Old School Theological Seminary, at Chi
eago, an Abolition institution. The Doc
tor fairly piled up the proofs of his propo-
%sition. to give point and po"e to this ques-
ton. We have resisted the Abolition ele-
ment in the New School Church; We have
protested against it, have suffered from it;
and finally, on account Of it, have aban-
doned hat Church. Now, why shall We
rush in the Old School Church, which is
Just as Lad, and in the very same way, SO
far as lis principle goes?

STATE HOUSE OF REFUGE.-The Wau-
kesha Republican has the following in re.
lation to the new house of refuge for juve-
nile ~delinquents.
TIL, contract requires it to be completed
by the first of next August. Mr.. Ira
White is the contractor. The building is tc
be of Waukeslla stone, with a slate roof
We have been favored with a sight OF
the drawings by the architects, Mygatt d
Schmiltner, showing the outside appear
ance and exterior arrangements of the
building. 1t will be in every respect the
greatest acquisition ever made to Wauke-
sha. $3.50. ~s
The building already planned will be
hfty-seven by n%inety-four feet on the ground
and the height of the towers will be eigh-
ty-three feet.
1t is to be three stories in hight, with
alched windows, s|urmeunted by heavy
stone caps. with a substantial tower at each
corner, and being surmounted by a hand
some and beautiful observatory. Such a
building, of the handsomest stone in the
Estate, and located, as it will be, on 8 pleas
ant piece Of ground, just on the edge Of
the village, must form a most imposing adj
EDITION to the picturesque view that Wau-
kesha already presents to a stranger.
The excellence and commodiousness OF
the internal arrangements, are to be fully
equal to the beauty Of the external APP
pearance of the structure. 1t is to be fin
ished throughout in the most substantial
and comfortable style.
