Novel Theory Of Earth Formation.
In q recent lecture in Washington
on the Earth and Man" the lecturer,
DR.. Holston, endeavored to reconcile
the Mosaic account Of the creation Of
the world with the discoveries Of
modern geology. He divided the
crust Of the earth. extending to depth
of forty thousand feet, into three
primary parts, protozoic. secondary,
and tertiary. subdividing each into two
parts, the older and newer. This
makes six parts. to each Of which he
assigns one Mosaic day, during which
periods, each consisting of tens or
scores of thousands of our years, the
earth was gradually prepared for the
habitation of men, who comes upon
the earth on the sixth day, and before
God rested from his creative work
If layer of one foot of the earth's
crust-a large allowance-be made in
one century, some idea Of the antiquity
Of the globe may be obtained. He
supposed Moses to have obtained his
insight into the process of creation by
vision. The fall of man he deemed
as necessarily ordained to come to
pass, since the existing high pitch of
intellect, affection and advancement of
the race could not have been attained
had not sin entered into the world. a
numerous array of discoveries were
brought to bear on the subject, going
tc give color to the lecturers views
Among these were prominent two
discoveries, one made by Sir Charles
Lycll on the Red river, in Louisiana,
of human hip-bone which could not
have been in the strata where found less
than seventy-fve thousand years; and
another, of which the lecturer had
personal cognizance, made On Jona-
than's creek, near GAINESVILLE, Ohio, OF
the perfect skeleton of a woman under
a living rock. 1t was evident this
woman was drowned in the creek
when its bed was twenty feet above its
present surface, a period distant Of at
least ten thousand years. These facts
the lecturer did not consider as in con-
6ict with the Bible, which no more
undertakes to teach chronology than
any other natural science

KICKING HoRsEs.-A writer in the

The WIRE-WoRM - Perhaps we
might all learn useful lessons from na-
turc If we would more carefully read
her printed pages. For instance,
one who does try to reach such lessons
says:
$50 far as my observation goes, the
wire-worm Is most troublesome In
seasons after mild winter, or when
there has been heavy coat Of snow
on the ground during winter, thus pre-
venting the frost penetrating the earth
to any considerable depth. Conse-
quently, the worms remain near the
surface. and are not frozen to death or
or driven so far below the surface, that
they must starve before they can re-
turn. Two successive crops Of buck
wheat will generally rid any soil of
wire-worms."

God bless the brave ones. In our earth
Their lives shall leave thrilling glory
And round the poor mans homely hearth
Well proudly tell their suilering's story.
All savior souls have sacrificed,
With naught but noble faith for gucrdon,
And e'er the world hath crown'd the Christ
The man to death hath borne the burden
The savage broke the glass that brought
The heavens nearer, saith the legend;
Even so the bigots welcome uaught
That makes our vision STARRED region'd
They lay their corner stones in dark
Deep waters, who upbuild in beauty
On earth's old heart their triumph-are
That crowns with glory lives ofduty.
And meekly still the martyrs go
To keep with pain their solemn bridal.
And still they walk the fire who bow
Not down to worship Customs idol.
The heart. the rude dust dark to-day,
Scars newlightcd sphere to- o-morrow
And wings of splendor burst the clay
That clasps us in deaths fruitful furrow

My attention was attracted by the
appearance of man who waited on
the table during dinner; his dress was
more that Of country gentleman than
a servant. and his countenance peculi-
arly sad and subdusd. found my eyes
continually wandering toward this in
dividual, whose manner disquieted me.

his task was a weary one.
After dinner the superintendent
asked me if had observed the waiter.
"Yes. What is he? Who is he?"

"And yet is here as a servant"
"Yes. he was guilty of an ungallant

In disregarding this law. the pris-
oners did right. Their error consisted
in sparing the lives of the slave catch
ers. Those pirates should have been
delivered over 10 the colored men and
consigned to the doom of pirates, which
should have been speedily executed
You are aware that this is the doctrine
which | proclaimed in Congress. i

cuted the slave-cathers promptly. it
would have taught the Administration
lesson not soon TO he forgotten.-
We should have been no more troubled
with that class of miscreants. They
would have learned better than 10 show
themselves among an intelligent pco-
pie who know their rights and dare
maintain them. But in rescuing their
fellow man from the fangs of these
blood hounds, the prisoners did right.
Present and coming generations will
bless them for it. 1t was high moral
duty, the exercise Of virtue which
sheds halo Of glory around the MEM
ories of our republican fathers
When arrested for such an act they did
well in refusing to give bail. When
brought into Court they did right in
refusing to give bail; and in my opin-
ion they cannot now recede from the
manly position which they have as
sumed. by these noble acts they have
inscribed their names upon most i'm
portant page Of our history. They no
longer act FOR themselves in this busi-
ness, but for justice, for liberty, for the
cause Of freedom. The eyes of the ma
tiOn are upon them. They should
bear in mind the character of the peo-
pie of this portion Of our gallant State.
They should remember the pilgrim
fathers from whom they have descend

have great confidence in the Judges
composing that Court But should
they prove unequal to the occasion, the
case will then be full made up. and
the appeal must then be taken to that
highest OF earthly tribunals, the source
of all political power. The people,
finding this government to have become
obstructive of the lives, the liberties
and the happiness of it's citizens, will
alter or abolish it; and organize its
powers in such form as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their safety
and happiness"
