The rest of the narrative relates his return
voyage Accompanying the narratives is a
description of the reliec of Franklin's party,
brought home and those seen. Aa
From all that can be CLEANED from the record
paper and the evidence afforded by the boat
aud various articles of clothing and equipments
discovered, it appears that the abandonment of
the Erebus and Terror had been deliberately
arranged, and every effort exerted during the
third winter to render the travelling equipments
complete It is much to be apprehended that
disease had greatly reduced he strength of all
on board-far more, perhaps, than they them
selves were aware of. The distance by sledge
route from the position of the ships when aban-
,doned to the boat is s5 geographical miles
and from the ships to Montreal Island, 22O

Intercession of the Spirit.

When the Spirit maketh intereession for US it
is not by any direct supplication from himself to
God the Father on behalf Of any one individual,
but it is by pouring on that individual the spirit
of prayer and supplication. The man whom he
prays for is, in fact, the organ of his prayer.
The prayer passes, as it were, from the Spirit
through him who is the object oft.
The groanings of the Spirit of God which
cannot be uttered are those unutterable desires
wherewith the heart is charged, and which can
only find vent in the ardent but unspeakable'
breathings Of the one who first feels his need
and longs to be freed from it; who hath strong.
and general appetency after righteousness and
yet can only sight it forth in calculations of in
tense earnestDess.
These are called groanings Of the Spirit of
God, because it is in fact he who awakened
them in the spirit of man. When he intercedes
for believer, the believers own heart is the
channel through which the intercession finds
its way to the throne of grace Chalmers:

Evidences of the Bible

Nature is a vast tablet, inscribed with signs.
each of which has its own signifcancy, and be-
comes poetry il the mind when read, and geology
is simply the key by which myriads of these
signs hitherto undecipherable, can be unlocked
and thus new province added to the poetical
domain Weare told by travellers, that the
rocks of the wilderness of Sinai are ettered over
with strange characters, inscribed during the
forty years wander;ngs ofIsrael They testify,
in their very existence of remote past when
the cloud Ger Swallowed tabernacle rose amid
the tents of the desert and who shall dare say
whether to the scholar who could dive into their
hidden meanings they might not be found charg-
ed with the very songs sung of old by Moses and
by Miriam, when the sea rolled over the pride of
Egypt! To the geologist every rock bears it's
Inscriptions engraved in ancient hierolyphic char
acters that tell the Creators journeyings of DID,
of the laws which be gave, the tabernacles which
he reared, and the marvels which he wrought-of
mute prophecies wrapped up in type and SYM
bol-of earth CULTS that opened and of reptiles
that few-of fiery plaques that devastated on
the dry land, and of hosts more numerous than
that of Pharaoh, that sunk lead in the mighty
waters and, having in some degree mastered
the occult meanings of these strange hierogly-
phcs, we must be permitted to refer in asserting
the poetry ofonr science, the sublime revelations
with which they are charged, and the vivid imag-
cry which they conjure up.-Hugh Miller.

OcToGENARIAN VISIT. We had an agreeable
visit, few days since, from an octogenarian gen
tleman resident in Portland, and well known in
that city and in Boston, among the merchants of
the olden time. lie still retaines his faculties
and his memory is yet fresh and vigorous, stocked
with remembrances of an almost past age. He
is probably the only person living, at least in
this vicinity, who is able to say that he has seen
and known two such distinguished characters,
resident at the time on different continents, as
Napoleon Bonaparte and Robert Fulton, lie
met the great Emperor in one Of his night excur-
sions from Paris to Hayre, at Rouen, and was
present in the company Of Fulton when his hrst
steamboat was creeping aIong up the hudson
river. We are happy to say that the gentleman
alluded to is in the enjoyment OF excellent health
for man of hisyear He is one ofthe few living
men who connect the present with past genera
tons of men. -Bunker Hall (Mass.) Aurora.
