The Salt OF the Sea,

If all the salts of tho sea were pre-
cipitated and spread out equally over
the Northern half of this continent, it
would, it has been computed, cover the
ground one mile deep. What force
could move such mass of matter on
the dry ground? Yet the machinery
OF the ocean, Of which it forms part,
is SO wisely, marvellously and wonder
fully compensated, that the most gen.
tie breeze that plays on its bosom, the
tiniost insect that secretes solid matter
tor its sea-shell, is capable of putting
it instantly in motion. Still, when sol,
idified and placed in heap, all the
mechanical contriyances Of man, aided
by the tremendous forces of all the
steam and water power of the world,
could not move even so much as an inch
in centuries of time this matter which
the sunbeam, the zephyr and the infu
serial insect keep in perpetual motion
and activity. Maury's. Physical &c.

Icircle--the bon ton Of New York
Without the precincts of this she mover
ventured, for all others were beneath
her. Louise was taught to mingle
with no children excepting those of her
mothers friends, and was growing up
believing herselfbetter even than they.
The teaching that Marian Hays re.
ceived was totally different from this.
Mrs. Hays was acknowledged by Mrs.
Gardner as one of her particular friends;
yet, though she moved among that cir.
Gle, she was far from being Of thcm.-
Her doctrine was the text her little
girl had used-"Thc rich and the poor
meet together, and the Lord is the ma.
ker of them all. This she taught Ma,
rian, that there was no distinction as
to wealth and position; that the distinc,
ton was in worth, and worth alone -
She taught her to reverence age, and
to pity the poor and destitute; and
that pheasant words were as honey
comb, sweet to the soul"-a little word
of kindness was better than money
Marian learned the lesson well, and
was ever ready to dispense her gen
tie words to all, whether they were
wealthy and influential, or ragged and
indigcnt as the boy she had that cold
morning befricnded.

TIE GREAT AWAKENING.

1t is not yet two thousand years,
since the origin of Christianity and
to-day it rules the civilized world. But
no one who has studied it's history can
have failed to see that its progress has
not been uniform. The growth of a
century has been gained in decade;
periods of great activity have been sue,
ceeded by years of lethargy; the vic.
tories of the Church over the world
have been followed by apparent victo-
ries of the world over the Church. In
a word Christianity, from the begin
ing has seemed to acknowledge q law of
periodicity religion has achieved hor
grandest triumphs by means of Revt-
vdls.
TO use the theological language of
jonathan Edwards-the greatest phi
logical thinker and one of the purest
Christians this country has produced
"the work of Redemption, in its effect
had mainly been carried on by. remark.
able communications Of the Spirit of
God, the way in which the greatest
things have been done has always been
by remarkable illusions at special Pc
riods of mercy" Every age has had
such manifestations. We trace them
in the Penticostical times of Apostolic
preaching; in the missionary activity
of the fifth and sixth centuries; in the
genuine yet misdirected fervor of the
days of the crusaders in the mighty
march of the Lutheran reformation ;
aud in the great awakening of Eng
lish-speaking men under the labors of
Wesley and Whitfield.
Within the present century, the
greater part of the growth of Protes-
tant Christianity both in Europe and
America, has been due to such reyi-
vals.
The Christian Churches of the land
are now in the midst of an extraordin.
airy awakening, the greatest perhaps,
which they have ever known. The
movement is on so grand scale that
it commands universal attention. 1t
has all the sublimity of vastness. The
most Indifferent and the most incredu.
lous lookers.oD, even those who profess
no belief in Christianity all, cannot
choose but gaze if it be only in wonder
to see the heart Of almost whole ma.
tlon moved by one spiritual impulse
The hymns of the worsbipping throngs
of Maine, are echoed by those of Cali
fornia the "daily prayer-mcctings'
girdle the continent from ocean to O.
ccan. Never within the memory oil
man, has this great city, especially,
been SO stirred by religious feeling and
American union. [volume] (Morgantown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1855-1859, 1858-04-30

York, leaving Marian, with the con-
sciousness of having done nothing to
be ashamed of, and enjoying the soci-
ETY. of distinguished Congressman.
Marian aid Mr.. Hamilton were walk
ing together one evening, when the lat
ter drew from his bosom an old we'll
worn primer and handed it to Marian.
'From this, he said, 'the man who is
so distinguished here, first learned to
read. Do you recognize the book?"
Marian trembled, and did not raise
her eyes, when she saw that we'll re-
membercd book. Mr.. Hamilton took
her hand and said:
marian, Jimmie has never forgot
ten you. Since the day you were so
kind to him, and gave him this book,
his life has had one great aim, and that
was to attain to greatness, and in af-
ter years to meet that ministering an
gel who was the sweetness Of my days
of poverty. When l left your house
with this book, Ireturned ten times hap
pier to my humble home, and went as
siduously to work to learn to read.-
My mother was an invalid, and ere
long | learned well enough to read to
her. When my mother idied ! found
good friends, and was adopted by gen
tleman in W.. AS his son have
been educated. \ year ago he died
and left his property to me. Of all the
pleasant memories of my boyhood, the
one connected with you is the dearest.
l have kept this primer next my heart,
and dwelt upon the hope of again meet
ing the giver. ! have met her. l
see all that day imagination pictured,
and | ask if the dear hand that gave
this book cannot be mine forever
Louise felt deeper grief than ever
when Marian told her she was to be-
come the wife of Mr.. Hamilton, the
poor boy whom she once spurned from
her door, and dcrisiyely called intel.
lect in rags But she learned a Sc
we're lesson, and one that changed the
whole current of her life. For awhile
she stunned Mr.. Hamilton; but by
persevering kindness he made her feel
easy in his presence, and she was the
acknowledged friend of the Congress-
man and his noble wife.
Years have passed since then, and
Louise is training up family Of little
ones ; but she is teaching them to des-
piso not intellect in rags, but to be gni~
ded by Marian's text--'The rich and
poor meet together and the Lord is the
moker of them all
