NATURAL CURIosITIEs-In the Baltimore
coal mines, near WieSbarre, Luzerne county,
Pa, the superintendent recently discovered the
remains Of forest of trees. which had been
imbedded in slate of rock, above the large vein,
fragments Of which, by a fall, had been detach-
ed and now lie in confuSion-stumps, roots,
limbs and impressions of bark, in the mine
Among the curiosties are two large stumpS, as
perfect as if just drawn from the earth by Il
stump machine, the roots cut off where they
had entered the ground, and the surface look
ing as if the bark has been taken off while the
sap was running In the rocks above can he
traced the ends of the logs, from which the
stumps have fallen, and in one place the body
of the tree potrudes, the surface presenting the
impression of the bark

HABITS OF SPIDERS. The following curions
fact is given on the authority of Mr. Spencer ::
Having placed fuIl-grown spider on q cane
planted upright in the midst of Il stream of wa
ter, he saw it descend the cane several times and
remOunt when it had arrived at the surface of
the water. Suddenly he altogether lost sight
of it, but in a few moments afterwards, to his
great astonishment, he perceived it quietly pnr-
suing its way on the other side Of the stream
The spider having spun two threads along the
cane, had cut one of them, which, carried by
the wind, had become attached to some object
OIL the bank, and so served the spider AS
bridge across the water. 1t is supposed that
spiders, when adult, always use similar means
to cross water.

was looking for them he saw not that heaven

ADVANTAGES OF TREEs-We do not know
the author Of the following beautiful aud com
prehensive notice of trees, but we think its p' :

and popular song of "Woodman spare that
tree":-
How beautiful, most beautiful of earth's orn-
aments are trees Waving ont on the hills
and down in the valleys, in wild wood or orch
ard, or sngly by the wayside, Gods spirit and
beDizon seems to us ever present in trees. For
their shade and shelter to man and brute; for
the music the winds make among their leaves
and the birds in their branches; for the fruits
and flowers they bear to delight the palate
aud the eye, and the fragancc thar goes ont
and upward from them forever, we are wor-
shipful of trees.

How many strike the axe idly or wautonIy at

There is a beautiful spirit breathing now
Il. mellow richness on the clustered trees,
And, from beaker full of richest dyes,
Pouring new glory on the autumn woods,
And dipping in warm light the pillared clouds.
Morn. on the mountain, like a summer bird,
Lifts up the purple wing and in the wales
The gentle wind-a sweet and passionate wooer-
Kisses the blushing leaf, and stirs up life
Within the solemn woods of ash deep-crimsoned,
And silver beech, and maple yelow-leaved,-
Where Autumn, like a faint old man. sits down
By the way-side s-weary. Thr~ ugh the trees
The golden robin moves the purple finch,
That on w..l cherry and red cedar feeds
winter bird,-comes with its plaintve whistle
And pecks by the witch-hazel whilst aloud,
From cottage roofs, the warbling blue e-bird sings
And merriy, with oft-repeated stroke,
Sounds from the threshinghoor the busy fail.

Pms Als-The Eclectic Medical Journq

Pms AIR-The Eclectic Medical Journal
of Philadelphia, in speaking on this subject
very properly remarks That it is not only he
crs>ary that men may have sufficient air to
breathe, but it is necessary to provide air for
the apartment itself in which they live, as we'll
as for the persons who inhale it. The infu-
ence of impure mir is not only exercised upon
persons through their breathing organs. but
the surface of their bodies, their clothes, the
walls of the apartment-in Short the free sur
faces of everything in contact with the air Of
the place becomes more and more impure-a
harbor of founess, means of impregnating
every cubic foot of air with poison-unless
the whole apartment has its atmospheric con-
tents continuously changed. so that everything
animate and inanimate is freshened by con-
stant supply of pure air.

INDIAN SUMMER.

There is time, just when the frost
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, in 4 revelie lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away (;
When Summer comes, in musing mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell,
To mark how many sheayes they bind,
And see if all are ripened well.
With balmy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense, ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live
She enters meath the woodlands shade
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones # its grief.
AT last, old Autumn, rising, takes
Again his sceptre and his throne
With boisterOus hand the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer, signing, flies the plain,
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
Sees missr Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think it's all tor him.

SENsE-A rough common sense pervades
the following, in which there is certainly more
truth than poetry:
Great men never swell 1t is only three
cent individuals who are salaried at the rate
of two hundred dollars a year and dine on
potatoes and dried herring, who put on airs
and fashy waistcoats, SWELL puff, blow, and
endeavor to give themselves consequential
appearance. No discriminating person can
ever mistake the spurious for the genuine art-
Gle. The difference between the two is as
great as that between bottle of vinegar and
bottle of the pure Juice of the grape"

with velocity which is million and a half
times greater than the speed of a cannon ball
but 1t darts from every rejecting surface with
q like velocity, and reaches the tender struc-
ture of the eye so gently, that, as it falls upon
the little curtain of nerves which is there spread
to receive it, it mparts the most pleasing sen
sations, and tells its story of the onter world
with a minuteneSs of detail and holiness of
truth Philosophers once thought to weigh
the sunbeam. They constructed a most deli
cate balance, and suddenly let in upon it a
beam Of light the lever of the balance was
so deIicately hung that the huttering of fly
would have disturbed 1t. Everything prepared,
the grave men took their places and with keen
eyes watched the result. The sunbeam that
was TO decide the experiment had left the sun
eight minutes prior, to pass the ordeal. 1t
had flown through nnety-five millions Of miles
of space in that short space of time, and il
shot upon the balance with unabated velocity.
But the lever moved not and the philosophers
were mute.
