EvApoRATIoN.-From the whole
surface of the ocean, says DR.. Dick,
there arises, every twelve hours, no less
than thirty million cubic feet of water,
which is more than sufficient to supply
ali the rivers on the earth. This I'M
mense body of water is formed into
clouds, and carried over every part of
the continents; and again it is condensed
into rain, snow, or dews, which fertilize
the earth Should this process pause,
we might wash our clothes, but centur-
les would not dry them, for evaporation
alone produces this effect; vegetation
would wither; rivers would swell the
ocean; the operations Of nature would
cease. So close is the connection be-
tween this process and vegetable and
animal life. ''Praise the Lord for he
causeth the vapors to ascend from the
ends of the earth"

OUR NATIONAL GROWTH.-In the
course of an able speech on the admis-
sion of Oregon, delivered before the
House of Representatives, the Hon.
Alex. H. Stephens made the following
interesting remarks. Mr.. Stephens, it
will be remembered, is the smallest man
in Congress-weighing only about nine
ty-eight pounds:
This is the sixteenth session that have been
here. and within that brief sp,ce of fifteen wears
We have added SIX States to the Union--lacking
but one Of being more than half of the original
thirteen. Upwards of twelve hundred thousand
square mlles Of erritory-a much larger area ths q
w~s pos essed by the whole United States at the
time of the treaty of peace in l7S5--have been
added to our domain Al this time the area of
our Repuhc' IS greater than that of any five of
the great 81 Pnwers in Europe al conbined;--
greater than that Of the Roman Empire in the
brightest days of her glory; no e extei sve thai
were Al.xandeI's domuo,s when he stoo on
the ludus aid wept that he had more worlds

The Humboldt Desert.
BIZ JOHN R. RIDGE.

Who Journeys DER the desert now
Where sinks engulphed the Humboldt river,
Arrested sudden in its flow.
But pouring in that depth forever,
As if the famished earth would drink
Adry the tributes of the mountains,
Yet wither on the waters brink
And thirst fer still unnumbered fountains;
Who journeys DER that desert now
Shall see strange sights, ween, and CHASTITY !;
For he shall trace, awearied. slow,
Across this waste extended vastly,
Thes steps of pilgrims westward bound
Bound westward to the Land Parific.
Where hoped for rest and peace are found,
And Plenty waves her wand prolific.
Along this parched and dreary track
Nor leaf, nor blade. nor shrub appeareth;
The sky above doth moisture lack,
And brazen glare the vision seareth
Nor shadow, save the travellers own,
Doth bless with GOODNESS seeming only,
And, save his muified step alone
And desert-bird's wild shrek and lonely,
No sound is heard "a realm of blight.
OF wierd-like silence and brightness
That makcth but gloom of light,
Where Slimmer shapes of spectral whiteness! 1!
They are the bones that bleaching lie
Where fell the weary beast o'erdriyen,
And upward cast hi: dying eye.
As if in dumb appeal to Heaven.
For lengthenng miles on miles they lie,
These sad memorials grim and hoary,
And every whitening heap we spy
Doth tell some way worn pilgrims story.
Hard by each skeleton there stand
The wheels it drew. or warped or shrunken
And in the drifted, yielding sand
The yoke or rusted chain lies sunken;
Nor marvel we if yondcr peers.
From out some scooped out grave and shallow
A human head. which feshless leers
With look that doth the place uhhallow.
Each annual pilgrimage hath strewn
These monuments unnamed. undated.
Till now. were bone but piled on bone,
And heaped up wrecks but congregated,
A pyramid would rise as vast
As one of those old tombs Egyptian,
Which speak from distant ages past
With time-worn, ystic. strange Inscription,
But pass we these grim mouidering things,
Decay shall as Time may order,
For, offspring of the mountain springs,
river rims the deserts border!
With margin green and beautiful,
And sparkling waters Understanding,
And trees with zephyrs musical,
And answering birds with songs aboundng,
And velvet flowers of thousand scents,
And clambering vines with blossoms crested;
Twas here the pilgrims pitched their tents,
And from their toilsome travel rested.
oh sweet such rest to him who faints
Upon The journey long and wearyi
And scenes like this the traveller paints
While dying on the wayside dreary.
Sad pilgrim's o 'er life's desert 1oe
Our tedious journey onward ever,
But rest for us there vet shall be-
When camped upon the Heavenly RIVER.
