Of Junius. 1t inspires the reader with a
very high idea Of the CONTROVERSIAL ability
Of Miller. The cause of the free church
was advocated by him with energy and
strength, and at the disruption Of the
church establishment in l843, which set
the free church upon an Independent basis
Miller obtained victory which filled
his heart with satisfaction. and crowned
his career with honor. During all This
polemical war, he constantly pursued his
geological investigations, and published
the results thereof to lhe world. When
that war was closed, heg gave all his talents
to the cause of science till the war Of life
was closed. In fact his, last work, "The
Testimony of the Rocks" so tasked his
mind, that the latent tendency of his ma
ture to superstition became active and
dominant: and at its completion the over
strained brain gave forth alarming signs
Of mental discord. He complained Of
occasional sharp pains, as though dag
ger were thrust through the brain, and
was affected with ALTERATION of mind, vi
sions of assassins in pursuit Of him, and
the most distressing phantoms. In one
Of these dreadful attacks, he laid violent
hands upon his life, and shot himself
through the heart with pistol. Thus
perished one whose pure and uprig ght life
might we'll have promised greater length
of days, had not his zeal for science rem
in twain the seat of reason, and dethronet
the kingly intellect. Shall that monarch
perish in oblivion, or will it reign agaiI
where earthly letters cannot bind the spi

MISCELLANY.
Volcanic Eruptions,

IL Is out lew years since the volcanoes
of Hecla in Iceland, Etna in Sicily, and
Vesuviusin Italy, were in active operation
at the same time. The altitude of Hecla
and Vesuvius are nearly equal, and that of
Etna is about ten thousand feet above the
sea, or nearly double that of Hecla and Ve-
suvius.
On the 18th ofJanuary, 1s49, when the
fiery eruptions of Hecla we're subsiding,
the ashes began to ascend from the crater,
and were thrown to such height in the
atmosphere as to fall on the Faro Islands,
three hundred and sixty miles distant.
Osconoro, Aconcagua and Couneguing,
three volcanoes in the Cordilleras, s. A.,
extending in line of two thousand, seven
hundred miles, were all convulsed at the
same time.
The volcanoes of Mauua Loa, and Kila-
uea, Sandwich Islands, open in the atmos-
pere at the respective heights of ten and
fifteen thousand feet above the sea level
These volcanoes are the largest yet disco
vered on our earth, and during one Of the
eruprions one of these volcanoes discharged
river. of lava seventy miles in length,
FIVE miles in breadth, and of unmeasured
depth, in the short period of about seventy
days.
The Azore Islands, in one of which ia
mine is now doing the work Of death, have
boneath them, and beneath the sea which
surrounds them volcanic fires of great en-.
ergy, that even the ocean, with all its
mighty power, is unable to quench.
On the 18th of October, 1S4s, one Of the
volcanoes in the New Zealand Islands wal
aroused from long slumber, and about ,
thousand shocks of earthquake attended it
convulsions. The Aurora Australis kin
: died up its light, and terrific thunder ant
fierce lightning united in the wonderful de
monstration of the majesty and sublimit!
; of the great phenomena of nature. 1t wa
then that shocks of earthquake were fel
= simultaneously on the opposite side of tn
. globe; it was then that the Aurora Borea
lis and Aurora Austerlis united and brigh
. band encircled the whole earth.
q When Heckla in Iceland was convulsed
the eruption produced a pestilence, whic

was that pestilence, that in many instar

POETRY.
From Graham's Magazine.
Be Quiet do, I'll call my Mother.

AS was sitting in wood,
Under an oak trees leafy cover,
Musing in pleasant solitude,
Who should comedy, but John my loverl
he press'd my hand and kiss'd my cheek;
Then growing warmer, kiss'd the other,
While exclaimed, and tried to shrek,
"Be quiet, do I'll call my mother"
He saw my anger was sincere,
And lovingly began to chide me;
Then wiping from my cheek the tear,
He sat him on the grass beside me.
He feigned such pretty amoreus woe,
Breathed such sweet vows, one after
another,
could but smile, whispering low,
BE quiet, dol I'll call my mother"
He talked so long, and talked so we'll,
And swore he meant not deceive me;
felt more grief than can tell.
When with sigh he rose to leave me
"Oh | John" said |. q" and must you go
love thee better than all other;
There is no need to hurry so,
never meant to call my mother"

Towards the end of March, or tho beginning
of April, it is the custom for young men and wo'
men to agree together to I'll the relation OF god

comdre-such is the phrase-for the ensuing year
AT the end of May, the proposed cOH,dre, having
procured a segment Of tue bark Of q cork tree,
fashions il in shape of n vase, and fills it with
rich light mould, in wbrch are planted come
grains of barley or wheat. The vase being plac
ed in the sunshine, well watered, and carefully
tended, the seed soon terminates. blades springup
and, making a rapid growth in the course of tven'
tyrone days-thut is, before she eve Of st. John
the vase is filled by q spreading and vigorous plant
of young cora. 1t then receives the name Of
HefmeS, or more commonly, of Sa NeaRerc, from a
Sards word, which possibly has the same signifca.
ton as the Phenician name of garden; similar yes
sells beingcalled in ancient times, "the gardens oil

%ornamented with ribbons, is exposed on q balcO'

Formerly, also, a little image in female attire
or phallic emblems moulded in clay, such n,

placed among the blades of corn but these rep
reservations have been SO severely denounced by
the Church, that they are fallen into disuse. The
young men flock in crowds to witness the specta

the feast.

they leap and gambol, the couple who have agreed

NEGRO. PHOBIA.

The Richmond South an organ Of the Southern
Democracy, in its issue Of July 8, in an article. re.
polling the suggestion that Virginia regards the
Gulf States merely as profitable markets for her
slaves, expresses its love for the negro in these
words:
"The cotton States may rest assured that Vir-
GINA has no reason to value slaves as a mere
merchantable commodity. They possess with us
a far higher value. Our slaves are our comran.
ions and friends; endeared to US BY ties and asso.

ry wealth from our Southern brethren and we
will not estimate cur alliance with the Slave States
by its value in dollars. We have long known the
true valde of political and social alliances, and
they are not to be decided by moneyed obliga,
tons. We believe it is far better for us to retain
our slaves, and rear our children in a slavehoidins
community, than to rid ourselves of q great bless.
ing, by a petty trade, however ~gainful."
We commend this open avowal of friendship
for the negro to our Democratic brethren in Ohio
who seem to be convulsed with the fear that the
Republicans seek 10 make companions and
friends" of the black man. Here is q Democrat.
ic organ in the Old Dominion boldly avowing that
Nirginlans make "c0mpaRiOAS and friends" of
negro slaves, and that between them and their
slaves exist tiles and associations" so dear and
sentimental that no ''pecuniary wealth"can tempt
their severance. Has the most fragrant Abolition.
ist ever suggested a nearer approach to ''negro
equality" than this ? 1t is "companionship" and
'.friendship" with negro slaves that is dared to be
proclaimed in the very Capital Of the Old Domin,
ion Is this the inglorious termination Of that
holy horror of "thicklipped and woody headed
Africans" which has SO often served to uphold the
wavering faith of the Democracy?
