THE RETENTIVE POWER OF MEM.
DRY.

1t has been remarked by one of the
most distinguished philosophers of our
day, that no atmospheric vibration ever
becomes extinct; that the pulses of
speech when they have done their work
and become TO our ear inaudible, pass in
waves away, but wander still, reflected
hither and thither through the regions
Of the air eternally.
He conceives that, as the atmosphere
congresses still within itself the distinct
traces of every sound impressed on every
portioa of It, as thus the record inde-
structibly exists. we have only TO suffer
change Of position and receive the en-
dowment Of an acuter sense TO hear again
every idle word We have spoken. and ev-
cry sigh we have caused.
Now, this power of recalling dwells in
every one of us-in our memories. No
idea that enters our minds is lost; it may
pass away like the waves Of sound, dwell
among forgotten things. successive
thoughts roll over it, and each in turn
seem obliterated, but they are all there
they will be brought back. The Bible
confirms it. and philosophy confirms
that.
1t will be when we are changed: chang
ed in the twinkling of an eys-then all
the past will come before us. School
boy remembrances; even the dreams of
night. We shall wander back to our
early years; be again in the peaceful
scenes Of childhood, and faces-voices
even the tones of Sabbath bells, and
the very feelings they aoak eaed will all
come thronging up. Then, too. memo
~ will press upon our notice long for
gotten sins-the ills we have done-the
grief saddened eyes of the oppressed of
earth will be fixed upon the oppressorl
with a gaze that cannot be shunned-the
of sinful pleasures-of lost
time-the minutest errors of life. will all |

A CITY IN THE AIR-THE MIRAGE
ON THE PLAINS.

Travellers across the plains assert that
they have seen on the Mobiles Pass
Route, about thirty miles this side of the
Humboldt river, the most wonderful
phenomenon that they think could ever
have been witnessed in any part Of the
world. 1t is no less thing than City in
the complete in every respect and
morning, and stands self poised above the
dead level of broad and airy plain,
which is covered with light white dust
that rises in small clouds al the touch OF
horses hoof, or ascends in magnificent
spiral towers in the breath Of the little
whirlwinds that are occasioned by the in
tense heat The line of the base OF the
city forms an angle with the line Of the
plain, so that the city seems to lean over
towards the earth, ami full view Of its
streets and buildings is presented. All
the streets seem TO tend 10 one point,
where they concentrate, and whence, of
course, they diverge. The architectural
beauty and splendor of this City in the
Air are Of character unequalled by
anything upon the face of the earth.-
The buildings rise, one after another, in
proud, palalial grandeur, and their tall
towers glitter like molten silver in the
sun. Clean and perfect was the work Of
the mysterious architect who framed
those marble-looking wonders Of the air.
The apparent extent Of the city is about
six miles in circumference, and the near
est approximation to the earth, is a dis
lance of about fifty feet. Not having
seen this phenomenon, Of course We can
not enler into anyminu,e description oft;
we can only give the general idea which
we have presented. We are assured
that the illusion is perfect-no,hing want
