The Beginning Of the World.

The following extract from a sermon
OF Mr.. Spurgeon, the pious English
preacher, IS specimen Of the eloquence
which, within a year or two, has made
his name familiar in both hemispheres
"Can any man tell me when the be-
ginning was? Years ago we thought
the beginning Of this world was when
Adam came upon it; but we have dis
covered that thousands Of years before
that, God was forming choatic matter
to make it fit abode for man, and put
ing races Of creatures upon it that they
might die and leave traces of their ham
diwork and marvellous skill. before he
tried his hand Oh man. But this was
not the beginning, for revelation points
us to period long ere this world was
fashioned; to the days when the morn
ing stars were begotten; when like
drops of dew from the fingers, the morn.
ing stars and consultations fell trickling
from the hands Of God when he with
his own lips launched forth ponderous
orbs; when with lis own hand, he sent
comets like thunderbolts WANDERING
through the sky to find one day their
proper sphere. We go cack to those
days, when worlds were made and sys-
tens were fashioned and we have not
even approached the beginning yet.
Until we go back to the time when
all the universe slept in the mind of
God as yet unborn, until we enter the
eternity where God the Creator dwells
alone, everything sleeping within him,
all creation sleeping in his mighty gi-
gantic thought, we have not guessed
the beginning. We may go back, back
ages upon ages. We may 90 back, if we
may use such words, whole eternities. and
yet never arrive at the beginning. Our
wing might be tired, our magma
ton might die away Could it outstrip
the ightning's flashes in majesty, pow
er and rapidity, it would soon weary
itself ere it could reach the beginning.
But God, from the beginning, chose
his people, when the unnavigabie etaer
was yet unarmed by the wing of a sin
gle angle, when space was shoreless. or
else unborn; when, universal silence
reigned and not voice or whisper
shocked the solemnity of silence, when
there was no being, no emotion and
nought but God himself alone in his
eternity; when without the attendance
OF even cherubim, long ere the living
creatures were born or the wheels OF the
chariotof Jehovah were fashioned; even
then 'in the beginning was the world, r
and in the beginning Gods people were
one in the world, and in the BEGINNING o.
he chose them all unto eternal life. -

April oath, 1858.
WHEE DER the waters of the lake,
Their slender bark tossed,
Toe wild winds and the storms arose,
And they were wrecked and lost.
No friendly hand was nigh to save,
No ear to hear their cry;
But meath the cold and chilling wave,
They both sank down to die,
Oh, thought they in that fearful hour,
Ofloved who would mourn,
When to their waiting. hoping hearts,
The tidings would be borne?
Oh, there is one, whose cherished dream
or earthly bliss is o'er
Whose pathway now through life will seem,
A lonely, barren shore.
For he whose deepest manheod's love,
To her had long been given,
Waits for his promised bride above,
In yonder beauteous heaven.
Oh let her weep, for tears oft times
Possrss a heavenly power,
To soothe the weary breaking heart,
In sorrows darkest hour.
widowed mother weeps for one,
The friend we loved so well;
All! none but those who mourn a son.
That mothers grief can tell
For since she gazed upon her boy,
Long, weary years have fed;
Oh little thought she that fond look,
Would be on earth the last.
And brothers, sisters lonely feel,
They mourn a broken band,
For one they loved has gone away,
Unto better land.
Our tears will mingle oft with theirs,
Who for their brother weep;
And in our hearts, his memory
Still bright, Wen ever keep.
But oh, whene'sr meet again,
To sing our old songs Ger,
Wen miss n chord in every strain
His voice Wen hear mere.
And oft times will we think of him,
Who with our loved friend died,
For in the quiet graveyard near,
They're resting side by side.
Almost stranger in our midst,
But few that knew his face
Yet far from kindred here he found,
last, sad resting-place.
And when we mourn our own deep loss,
And tears in pity flow,
For those who DER that strangers grave,
Would bow in bitter woe
For parents, brothers, sisters weep,
Far in their distant home;
For him, whose cold form here doth sleep,
Within the silent tomb
But He whose love is over all,
Can comfort every heart,
And fit us all with him to dwell
Where loved ones never part

PRor. PEfRoE's THEORY OF THE COMET
TA1L.-This theory may be concisely stated
to be the discovery of the law under which
the tail is formed. While planets and COM
cts describe their orbits about the sun, and
are attracted to the centre by law Of force,
which varies inversely as the square of the
distance from this centre-the particles of
the tail move under the influence CT repul-
sion which follows the very same law as
gravitation, Of a decrease with distance
The force Of the repulsion is about three and
a third times as great as that of gravitation
Each particle Of the tail describes en- in
dependent orbit of its own, unaffected by
any cohesive attachment to the comet itself,
or to the neighboring particles of the tail.
The orbit of each particle is an. hyperbola
with the sun in the focus of the opposite
branch, so that its convex1ty is turned tow
ards the sun; and the orbit is tangent to
the parabolic orbit of the comet at the point
where the particle leaves this body. The
forms Of tie tails Of the remarkable comets
of 1850, TIA. and Of tie present year,
computed by this theory, have been found
to coincide remarkably with observation, al
though they we're Of the most distinctly va
rious characters Boston Courier,

more paper recounts scene which occurred
in the Holiday Street Theatre few even
ings since, thus:
"a fine looking voting woman in more
than the usual amplitude of crinoline, en-
tered with her beau, and was making her
way through tie already well-Glled seats to
the front row of the dress circle, where pla-
ces had been reserved for them TO do SO
with all the bold freedom of feminine Young
America, she stepped upon the seats, when
unfortunately her hoop, or rather the lower
hoop of her skeleton skirt, caught upon the
back Of the seat, as she swept by. and the
fastening about the waist parting, the whole
concern came ''down by the rum" and as she
stepped forward out of it, and it was
left hanging in full view upon the seat
The change was astonishing, the full-blown
belle at one moment, the next looking like
a lamp post with silk dress tied around it.
For moment, also, the young lady was
quite unconscious of the accident. In
another she saw the full extent of it, and
blushing crimson, sank into her seat and
for the next half hour had, undonbte div,
the most brilliant complexion in the audi
ence."

PRETTY WoMAN.-A pretty woman is
one of the institutions of the country-an
angel in dry goods and glory. She makes
sunshine, blue sky and happiness wherever
she goes. Her path is one Of delicious ro-
SEES, perfumes and beauty. She is a sweet
poem, written in rare curles. and choice
calico, and good principles. Men stand up
before her as SO many admiration points, to
melt into cream and butter Her words
float round her like music, or chimes of
Sabbath bells. Without her, society would
lose its truest attractions, and church its
hrmest reliance, and young men the very
best of companions. Her influence and
generosity restrain the vicious, strengthen

heather; and strengthen the faint hearted.

A WIFE WoRrH HAVING. MIR. Walsh,
in one of his letters from Paris, records
how noble wife was noblv rewarded. It
appears that in 1919, NJ de Montyou be-
queathed an annual sum Of $1,000 francs
as premium at the disposal Of the Acad-
envy Of the poor Frenchman or woman who
should in the year perform the act most vir-
tuous or morally creditable. The premium
for the last year has just been adjudged to
peasant woman, Nine Durand, Of the de-
partment of Vaneluse, for this exemplary
conduct. "Her husband" says Mr.. Walsh,
s'was accused of a capital crime, and ar
raigned at assizes; he was acquitted with
difficulty, and by small majority Of the
jury The wife sustained him devotedly
throughout the trial, and insisted on his in
nocence; she resolved to find the real cul-
prits; she persevered in the search for sew
eral years; she discovered them, and had
them brought to justice. Their conviction
fulfilled her purpose, which was to re-es-
tablish the character of her husband-the
true amende for an honest man" The
good woman will be passing rich with 49,
600 francs.

RoRs.-The Court Of Appeals, New York,
has awarded new trial to Cancemi, con-
victed Of murder, because he was tried by
eleven jurors only, though the prisoner as

State has an interest Of preserving the lives

Of eleven might also be permitted, or the

A MAMMOTH WoRK-ARr1F1c1AL LAKE IN

A MAMMOTH WoRK-ART1F1cIAL LAKE IN
VIRGINIA. Elicit the Engineer, is en-
gagged in grand scheme for improving the
navigation Of the Kanawha River, by form
ing vast reservoir or mountain lake to feed
that stream during low water. A CORES
pondent of the Lewisburg (Va.) Era gives
the following information relative to the
contemplated Improvement;
t'The object is to form an inland lake OF
reservoir of water, to keep up the navigation
Of the Kanawha River. The reservoir which
we are now surveying, will be made by max
ing dam between the mountains. across Big
Sewell creek. The dam is to be 945 feet
long, so high, 400 feet thick at the base
and As feet at the top. At either side Of
the dam will be made immense sluices, to
carry the water away which would naturally
flow over the dam 1fhen it gets full. The
sluices are to be made of masonry Of the
most Substantial kind. The water is to be
kept in this lake until it is needed in the
Kanawha, When it is to be let off as it is
needed to keep up the navigation of the riv-
er. The means of letting it off will be by
means Of locks You can form some idea Of
the amout of water it will hold when I tell
you it is to be IS miles long and from 1000
feet to Il miles wide. There is an immense
amount of speculation about this great work
the probable cost, SC. Mr.. Taylor says
the dam will cost above 100000. The
cost Of the land will be the greatest drawback
on the enterprise It will cover about So
900 acres Of land, besides 80, 900 acres more
which will have to be paid for BY the Compa-
ny, because it will be no account to the own
ers, being all mountain land and remnants
of farms. I suppose that 1880, 900 will
not buy the land and pay the damages. H.
What time it will take this reservoir to fill,
will, l suppose depend on circumstances.
There are eight creeks flowing into it, The
object is, after the lake gets full of water, to
cut through the dividing ridge between the
lake and Greenbrier River, and make ca
nal through the cut Mr.. Elicit is making
other surveys on New River and Gauley Riv-
err"

CULr1yAr1NG THE DOMESTIC AFFEcT1o

CULr1vArING THE DOMESTIC AFFECTIONS.
We heard a good thing the other day
by distinguished gentleman,
we'll known in this State, which is too good
to be lost. It appears that some Of his
friends had been teasing him about his pro-
pensity for paying bis addresses to rich
widows, in which they intimated that his
motives were rather mercenary. "You are
entirely mistaken, gentlemen" says the
Governor, II don't want an overwhelming
fortune I only want to marry some one
with property enough to enable me to settle
down comfortably and cultivate the domestic
affections.
