A PLANET IN DANGER OF A DELUGE
In a recently issued work, entitled
The New Theory of the Creation and
Deluge,' it is stated that it is probable
the rings which rurround Saturn are
composed of water, snow, or ice, which
at some future time, may descend and
deluge that planet, as ours was in the
days of Noah. 1t would now appear
that such an event is likely to take
place sooner than was anticipated. for
Sir David Brewster says that Mr.. Otto
Stuve and Mr.. Bond have lately stu
died with The great Munich telescope at
the observatory hf Pu ukaway, the third
ring of S turn, which NJ Ianette and
Mr.. Bond discoverd to be fluid enl
that these astronomers are OF opinion
that this fuid ring is not of very re-
cent formation, that it is not subject to
rapid change, and they hive come to
the Extraordinary conclusion shat the
inner border of the ring has, since the
time of Huygins, been gradually ap-
preaching the body ofSaturn, and that
we may expect, sooner or later, per-
haps in some dozen years, to see The
rings united with the body of the pla
net. Saturn would then be deluged,
and his wicked inhabitants, if he have
any, be cut off, as the wicked sons Of
mem were in the time Of Noah. Won
der if the philosophers can ascertain
whether there is any Noah there build
ing an Ark ibid.

SUPPOSED DIsCovRY OF THE Tower
OF BABEL.-A correspondent of the
Boston Ifareler, writing from Beirut,
announces that Mr.. Place, the French
Consul in Mosu, has discovered the
RUNS of the tower of i bel.
Six of eight storils have fallen and
crumble into dust; but the two which
rem are SO high that they may be
sen for fifty or sixty miles around.
The base Of the tower is qnadrangular,
and each side about six hundred feet
long. The tower is made of bricks of
the purest clay aud of white color,
which is little shaded with yellow
tint.
Under clear sun, aud as whole,
this ancieut monument of human skill
and daring presents fne blending of
colors, which sets the painters pallet
at defiance. BefoIe being baked, the
bricks had been c6cered with tharac-
ters traced with the accuracy of the
hand Of a writing master. Near the
top of the letters the straight strokes
were adornd with fourishes resembling
the heads of nails. All was neat. reg
ular and severe aud, indeed, those
who saw these specimens of ancient cal
igraphy, affirm that the fathers of the
human race wrote a better hand than
their children.
Among the interesting discoveries Of
Mr. Place, were certain inscriptions on
tillets of gold, silver and copper, and
also upon a metal, now unknown, and
which has somewhat the appearance of
ivory. 1t has been submitted to the
experiments of an intelligent metallur-
gist, and its qualities will soon be as
certained. Some very curioui photo
graphs, taken by the expedition, com.
pleted their labors, one of which was
of the ruins of the palace of the famous
Queen Semiramis This ancient mou-
umeut, situated on the height Of "a
uountaiu raised by the hands of men,
overlooks the awful solitudes which
surround Lake Fan-a body of water
six or seven times larger than Lake
Geneva.
The remains of the Tower of Babel
have long been supposed to be ascer-
tained in a certain ruin, bearing the
name of Birs Ncmroud, the Tower of
Nimrod. Has Mr.. Place discovered
the same thing over again, or is this
another Babel; =

or every instant. More than twenty
times the albumen had been admins
tered, and more than half those times
followed by the expulsion of the poi
son, when the ''yes opened, the father
desisted, and the little sufferer lay just
alive in his arms, exhausted, its little
life terribly shattered, but SAVED!
vThen, when the necessity for exer-
tion and determination was over, when
the physician had been summoned, and
they knew that darling little Evelesn
might live, after many weeks of a
struggle between life and death, when
the relieved friends had acknowledged
that they had wronged him at first,
when the beautiful and sorrowful wife
had b.e>, ed Kim through her kisses and
her tears, and all knew that under
God only such determined and almost
fierce determination could have saved
the child, then the father sat down
unnerved, and wept for hours, like a
child.
Not, as in Little Sister Evelyn
did the poison do its fearful Office.
Eveleen is alive to-day, and her br own
eyes are opening upon womanhood.
But there is no hour of my life that
brings so thrilling recollc'ion as that
of the young fathers struggle for the
life of his child.

alton for the sublime qualities of the
other, the public becomes enlightened
as TO the whereabouts of two verv
plucky gentlemen, and couple of DON
keys are made more assinine than ever
for the balance of their natural lives.
Once no assassin could be recngniz.
ed as gentleman. Assassination, in
all its grades and forms, from a simple
blow Of insult to the deadly stab in the
dark was held to be infamous. To at
tack an unarmed man, Stamped the
assaiant as felonious coward and
individuals assisting in any way in
such assault, became equally dishonor-
ed as the perpetrator. Now, the case
is very different. If an Individual can
muster the fortitude necessary to enable
him to strike one whom ho dislikes a
stunning blow, without warning. and
afterwards beat him to his hearts con-
tent, it is esteemed gal ant act, wor-
thy of a public ovation and gentlemen
of high charcter stand by and witness
the performance with anything but ex-
pressions of disapprobation By walk
ing up behind another, and dealing him
murderous blow upon the head with
a cudgel, men arrive at honor, and even
a slap in the tace, delivered by a petu-
liant individual upon one weaker than
himself, is thought by many to be an
act of prowess, and, in a recent case,
seems to have been looked upon as cs-
pecially emitting very dubious char
acter to the considerable of a gentle
man. In portion of the Union. assas-
sination is looked upon as the only L.
gitimate way to heal a wounded honor,
and the high. toned assassin deliberate
ly loads his pistol, and, attended by
his friends, waits in some convenient
place for his adversary, and shoots him
down on his approach, without warn
ing of his intention, and Without en-
countering a particle of remonstrance
on the part of his own associates.
Looking at all these things, it is diff
fcult to avoid the conclusion that true
courage is on the decline among us,
and that, in whatever constitutes high
manhood and real chivalry, we are in
ferlor to our ancestors.

customs Of most nations respecting
The Tartars, out of a religious princi-
pie, waged long and bloody war with
the Persians, declaring thcti lnfidels
because they would not cut their beare
after the rites of Tartary. The G ecks
wore their boards till the time of Alex
ander, who ordered the MacedoniaDs
to be shaved lest the beard should give
a handel to their enemies, $50 B. c.
Boards were worn by the Romans,
297 B.. C. They have been worn for
centuries by the Jews. In England,
they we're not fashionable after the con-
quest, A. D. l066, until the thirteenth
century, aud were discontinued at the
Restoration. The Russians, even of
rank, did not cut their boards until
within these few years; AMI Peter the
Great. Notwithstanding his enjoining
them to shave, was obliged to keep of
fcers on foot to cut off the beard by
force.

REcREATIoNs.--Let your recrea-

or so limorous, that they avoid all d.
versions, and dare not indulge in law
full delights for fear of offending. These
are hard tutors, if not tyrants to them
selves; whilst they pretend to NOR

NUMBER "a.
ORGANS.

Two German girls, with a hurdy-
gurdy and tamborine, have, it is said,
netted ten thousand dollars in the short
space ofte months, in Australia. We
have it from good authority that, dur
ing the spring and summer of 1850,
woman and her daughter, who were
the first to introduce the hand organ
and taihborine Concerts in San Fran
cisco, bagged in the time specified, no
less than S2S, 900 in hard 'scads, and
returned to 'Yarmany' with flying col
ors. The business has been sadly over
done since tn Sc days, however. Now,
so numerous are these musical 'mcr-
sheens,' and so degenrate grown the
taste of our citizens, that few 'organ-
ists' make more than dollar-a-day in
San Francisco. A few months ago,
when the very 'melancholc' and SOUL
thrilling tune of Poor Dog Tray was
first discoursed through our streets,
quite a favorable reaction took place
in the musical circles, and right fl ec-
ly did our urchins come down W hen
the contribution arrangement was pas
sed round, but this did not last long.
Poor Tray was sUon rtn into the
ground, where we hope be may enjoy
long and pleasant reunion with Hot
Corn Jordan and Pop Goes the
Weazel. > Golden Era.
ABOUT SERMONS How desirable is
it that ministers in these days should
supply the pulpit with first rate SER
mons. and 1t certainly requires some
tact and ingenuity to accomplish that
object. This tact and ingenuity are
displayed in different ways. Some
men write their own sermons, and 9TH
ers buy them ready written, perhaps
of poor clergymen's widows. And we
now discover that some, who are too
lazy to write, and are not too moral to
steal, have found out still more sim
pie way of keeping themselves supplied
with excellent sermons.
'The London Record affirms as
matter of fact, that two Episcopal
clergymen of the dsocess of Exeter, re-
gularly employed reporter to take
down the sermons of a popular dissent
ing minister, and to transmit them for
their use, for the edifcatien OF their
own people. This trick was as inge-
niohs as it was lazy
Now, is not that great invention
One able minister can supply the whole
country with sermons of the first class,
provided there is room enough in his
church for the reporters necessary to
furnish the copies Here, too, may
be a great saving to parish, as it is
only Necessary to secure a good pulpit
ready. And as he could be employed
in some other profitable business dur
ing the week, his Sabbath salary might
be very reasonable, especially if one
reporter could supply good many
readers with copies, which we think
might be done. These are ceftainly
days of Improvement And what fool
man must be 10 rack his brains all
the week, to get only passable sermons,
when frst-rate ones can be had by on
ly placidg reporter III the Dcacon's
seat of some popular churdh. And
here new idea arises; would it not be
well to furnish reporters desks in the
churches where the mos. able and elo-
quent minister's preach, as is the case
in lecture rooms and court>houses /?
We only throw out the suggestion for
the benefit of the pilfering clergy. No
offence, of course.
