DURATION OF Posrs.-The result of forty years ex-
perence and observation with ME, is tina, common ches-
nut or whatever fence posts set in the ground green,
and butt end downwards, will last in a sandy loan about
ten years. The same set in like situation, top down.
wards, will last fifteen or eighteen years. The same
timber, (and soil the same, we'll seasoned before setting,
will last eight or ten years longer. Timber cut in the
old of the moon in February, will not be eaten by
worms; will not snap in burning, and will last much

10 his early writings, the late Hugh Miller was cen.
tent with the six days of twenty-four hours each for the
work Of creation, which satisfied the minds Of Chalmers
and of auckland. Upon this, he says, in a preface to
the volume which was his last work, 'My labors at the
time as a practical g~eolosist had been very much re-
stricted to the Pal@ozoic and Secondary rocks, more
especially to the Old Red and carbouiferous systems of
the one and the long and the Oo]itic system of the other
and the long extinct organisms which I found in them
certainly did not conflict with the view of Chalmers.
Al! | found necessary at the time to the work of recon-
Citation was some scheme that would permit NE to as
sign to the earth a high antiquity, and to regard it as
the scene Of many succeeding creations. During the
last nine years, however, l have spent a few weeks every
autumn in exploring the late formations, and acquainting
myself with their peculiar organisms. 1 have traced
them upwards from the raised beaches and old coast lines
of the human period, to the brick clays, Clyde beds aud
drift and boulder deposits of the Pleistocene era, and
again from these, with the help of museums and collec-
tons, up through the Mammaliferous crag of England,
to its red and its coral crags. And the conclusion at
which have been compelled to arrive is, that-in exact
accordance with that Of our philosophical geologist-we
must accept the Mosaic days as periods-must expect
DO scientific revelations in the Bibe-must receive
without fear the proved facts of geoogy-must admit
for instance, the belief that the whole earth has not, at
any time since man was made, been covered by a univer.
sal deluge.'
