HUGH MILLER.

In reviewing Hugh Miller's Geologic Sketch
Book, Just published in England and Scotland,
the london .4ihengeum says:
Every attentive reader of this volume viii
be struck with the full hearted enjoyment
which this gifted wanderer must have felt in
the scenery of his native land. While Ordi-
nary tourists roam there in search only of the
grand mountain range, or the dark dehle, or
the blue and hill nlbosomcd lake, Hugh Mil
Ter found equal interest in morasSes and bogs,
Sand-dunes, and igueous rocks. Not stone
but had its story for him-not stream but
to him its earlier history. When wearied
with bending down to the earth, he could look
up and admire the cloud laden sky, whether
the sun broke out with hasty glanceS, or dar-
ted flashing across the unlovely moors, or lit
up some bosky recess, or revealed more strlk-
ingly the rigidity of some abrupt cliff or IRON
bound shore. There was no spot which did
not furnish something for his fancy, or facts
for his note book. Patches of brick clay
and boulder clay were searched for minute
Shells moist, ooZing masses of black las
shale were lifted up for their accumulated or
ganismS wayfaring men were questioned on
anything that might illustrate his science
lonely bays and shores were trodden JoyouSiy
in searching for cutie fish, and these were
dissected and described from eye to tail; the
theory of the oceans level was discussed
black, cold marshes were probed for their nu-
merouS hazel nuts, showered down from for
gotten Forests in fine those aspects OF nature
which to common folks most forbidding, to
him were suggestive of fruitful fancieS, and
repletc with perpetual instruction.
Such is the latest fruit of Miller'S labors of
love, for this volume appears appears to be
the topmost stone of his literary monument.
as such, it is finely chiselled and elaborately
ornamental. In closing the book, we cannot
avoid retrospective glance at his glorious
career, and at it's melancholy termination.
How, we say to ourselves, could such 4 man
turn aside into the regions of awful darknessl
Richly gifted as he was by natural endow-
ments; well sustained as he was by an adequate
income flor we have learnt frem one OF his
most intimate friends what that income was)

pinion; blessed with an amiable and accom-
plished wife, as the preface to the present.

A STRIKING CONFIRMATION OF SCULPTURE
One of the most interesting of the monuments
of ancient Rome is the triumphal arch erected
to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem
by Titus, who, after the destruction OF the
temple, made triumphal march to Rome,
bringing with him a long train of captive Jews
and the spOils, among which were the sacred
vessels of the temple. This procession is
represented in the beautiful arch, which thus
furnishes an illustration of the Bible no where
else to be found, these being the only repre-
sentations that exist OF the sacred vessels, the
table of the shew bread, the golden candle
stick with its seven branches, and the silver
trumpets used by the priests to proclaim tbs
year of Jubilee. The Roman Senate and peo-
pie little thought, when erecting this monu-
ment 10 deited emperor, that they were
erecting monument TO the true God in the
veritcation OF prophecy and divine history.
Not one OF the Jews of Rome-of whom there
are about six thousand-wiH even TO this day
pass under the arch of Titus, although il spans
one of the thoroughfares of the city .hey
shun it a memorial of a subjugation OF
their nation, which has never been retrieved,
and regard 1t with aversion.

death on the ID of August, 1920, just after
the party reached the Big Island. Lewis was

"NEvER SAY FAIL

Keep pushing-'tis wiser
Than sitting aside,
And dreaming and signing;
And waiting the tide;
In life's earnest battle
They only prevail,
Who daily march onward
And never say fail.
With an eye ever open.
A tongue that's not dumb,
And a heart that will never
To sorrow succomb.
You'll battle and conquer,
Though thousands assail;
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fail
Ahead, then keep pushing,
And elbow your way.
Unheeding the envious,
All asses that bray;
All obstacles vanish.
All enemies quail,
In the might of their wisdom
Who never say fail.
In Life S rosy morning.
In manhOOd's 5 fair pride,
Let this be your motto,
Your footsteps to guide
In storm or in sunshine.
Whatever asSaii
Vel onward and conquer,
And never say fail !

EAT UP BY THEIR OWN DoGs.--An old story
tells that Act8on, a famous hunter, kept many
hounds, and they ended by eating him up.
Acteon is an old name-it is Greek, besides.
How many Act9ons do you and know-men
ate up by their own dogs. know men who
damage their body by their business, so do
you. Many more 1 know who break down
their conscience, their affection, their higher
manhood. Mechanics sicken of their craft
painters have the lead collie; tailors and
shoemakers are pale and dyspeptic looking !;
printers go off in consumption, which they
have caught from breathing ink and type-met-
al. Is that the worst | know men whose
ambition, whose vanity, whose covetousness,
has wrought them worse mischief consump-
tion of the mind, numb palsy of the affec-
tions, gout in the conscience, general dys-
pepsia of their Theodore Parker.

The letters Of the Italian language do not all
have the same sounds which they have in
English. The pronunciation of this name is
Teecheeno. 1t is small river, connecting
the Lake of Maggiore with the Pc, and has its
importance from its being the boundary be-
tween Lom hardy and Sardinia therefore tho

have not materially increased their discounts, yet
there is not much paper offering on the street,

has been an increased activity, but the probability
of q long and expensive Eastern has created
