Carbon, a SpPite.

Carbon is surely kind Of sylph, or
spirite, and that too, Of no ordinary sort.
The caterpillar changes its coats, and be-
comes the gorgeous butterfly, and this
astonishing transformation is the theme
of the fabulists, Far more wonderful,
however, is the change which take place
in piece of charcoal From a black
opaue and almost worthless material, it
changes to brilliant gem-thc diamond,
which even the stars are likened to- 1t
certainly appears incredible that the dia-
mond, 50 transcendently beautiful, spark
ling with more brilliancy than the dew
drop at sunrise, should be nothing else
than bit of charcoal, butso it is. Not
here, however, does the chameleon power
Of carbon rest, for by another change in
visible. In such state it exists in the
brightest, purest air. By another change
it becomes the thick, heavy flakes of
smoke which we see roll out of i'll con-
structed fues-the ''Dlacks' of London
and Birmingham. Coal is but impure
carbon, hence it is often spoken of as the
''blacb diamond" signifying, however, as
much the intrinsic value of coal to man
as its chemical relationship to the spark
ling gem. How the world would fare
without carbon, it would be difficult to
say, for it forms the major part of
the vegetable and animal creation Tai
low is white, but it is composed Of nearly
all charcoal THAT is, CARBON and the ele-
ments of water. So also with starch, SUI
gar, spirit gas. chalk, shells, bones-all
contain carbon they would in fact, cease
to exist without it. If we make mix
ture Of sulphuric acid and sugar, a vol
canic commotion ensues. When all is
over, and the black residue washed. it is
found to consist of nearly pure charcoal
for carbon, as the chemists in France
call it, or carbon, as the Lnglish write it
having a dislike to the h. The purest
carbon or charcoal with which the chem
lists are acquainted is the diamond; but
even this valuable stone when burned
shows by its ashes that it is Of vegetable
origin. Looking at carbon, therefore.
either in its black or white condition, and
knowing that it exists in the atmosphere
around us in an invisible state, we need
not any knowledge of chemistry or ply
sizes to enable us to come to the conclusion
that few substances exhibit the infinite
power of the Creator more than carbon.

Jenkins, you have served me we'll for

Il do" answered Tompkins firmly, but
mournfu!ly.
Then d--n your gold p screamed Jen-

elbow, and rushed into the street amidst

conglomeration of mud below.
Staberino," said Grufere, wilt thou do

"What, challenge Lorenzo, overhower

"No, kill him quietly and expeditously

"Perish the gold!'' exclaimed Staberino
finging the leather bag and its contents

Oh! how pleasant it is to read this sort
ofthing. One feels his respect for the

Africa, and all his old prejudices agains
lovers follies, and the degradation of pau
perism oozing away-in horn.
