The Beauty of Rocks.

And truly, at first sight, there is such re-
iusal in their look .and their shattered walls
and cres:s seem to rise in gloomy con-
trast with the soft waves of bank and wood
beneath, nor do mean to press the mere
fact, that, as we look longer at them, other
lines become perceptible. because it might
be thought no proof OF their beauty that they
needed long attention in order to De discov-
ereGS But ! think this much at least is
deserving OF our notice, as confirmatory of
foregoing conclusions. that the forms which
in other things are produced by slow in
crease OF gradual abrasion of surface, are
here produced by rough fracture, when a
rough fracture is to be he law of existence.
A rase is rounded by its own sof: ways of
growth, a reed is bowed intotender curva
ture by the pressure OF the breeze; but we
could not from these have proved any re-
solved preference by nature of curved lines
to Others, inasmuch as It might always have
been answered that the curves were pro-
duced, not for beaugy's sake, but infallibly
by the laws of vege table existence; and
looking at broken flints or agged banks
afterwards, We might have thought that We
only liked the curved lines because assocIa-
led III life and organism. and disliked the
angular ones because associated with mac
ton aud disorder.
Bot ma ure gives US in these mountains
more clear demonstration OF her will. She
is te~s driven to make fracture the law OF
being. She cannot TUT the rocky edges
with moss, or round them b, water. or hide
them with leaves and roots She is bound
to produce a form, admirable to human
beings, by continual breaking away OF sub
stance. And behold-so soon as she is com
PEELED to do this-she changes the law OF
fracture itself. 'Growth,' she seems to say.
lis not essential to my work, nor conceal
ment, nor softness; but curvature is, and II

stead Of dew and sunshine, the only instru-

Anecdnte of CrnInYpl

An English merchant ship was captured
during period of profound peace with
France, by vessel OF that nation, and car
ried into st. Malo, where shewas Condemned.
and sold for the benei, Of the captors, upon
some frivolous ard groundless pfetence
The master OF this merchantmen, who hap
Dened TO be an honest Quaker, immediately
on his return to England presented a petit
ton, complaining of this grievance, and
pray ing for redress,to the Protector in conn
cIl. On hearingSthe case, Cromwell in
formed the councii he would take the affair
into his own hands, and ordered the master
to attend HIM the next morning. After a
strict examination into The DartiruIQrs Of the
case, finding the master to be a plain, hon.
est mun, who had been embarked in no ille-
gal traffic. he asked him il he wou d be the
bearer of letter to Paris. This man assem-
ting, he desired him to prePsresfor the jour
ney without delay, and wait on him the fol-
lowing morning. On the next morning he
gave the master ietter';o Cardinal Mazarin,
with. directions, not 10 wait longer than
three days for an answer. This answer, he
informed bin, was 10 be nothing less than
the iuil value Of what ne might have made
OF MS ship and cargo; desiring HIM 10 tel!
the cardinal that il Ii vas not paid in three
days, he had strict orders to return home.
The honest Quaker appears II have
followed the inJunc ions oil TIE ProteC or to
the very letter, and, meeting with the usual
shu iIN' IN.
matists, took his leave on the third day, and
returned without accomplishing the obj,c, Of
his mission. We'll, friend, demanded the
Prolector,.on seeing him, ,'have you obtai Icd
your money! Being answered in the mega
tive, he told the Quaker to leave his address
with his secretary, promising TO let him
hear from him shortly. Without involving
himself ir the delays, ;rickcries, and eva
siuns OF dpl 'maGc negociatons-without
the empty parade of protocols and cunieren-
ces, which too often waste time, without
leading to any satisfactory results without
even deiguing TO repeat his demand, or cX-
plain the ground of his proceeding this
distinguished statesman issued orders to
seize every French ship Which his crusiers
fell in with, and bring them into port. In
pursuance oil these orders-seycrdl captures
were made, and their cargops ordered by the
Protector 10 be sold. Out of the produce
of these sales he paid the Quaker the tuil
value of the ship and cargo; aud, sending
tor the French ambassadors, then residing in
London, he acquainted him with the steps
he had taken, and the reason OF his doing
so, informing him 1t the sawe Time that
there was balance out Of the sales, which
should be paid to him, L h pleased, Tor the
purpose OF returning it to the French owners.
