Astronomy and Geology.
BY MRS. MARY A. DAY.

"The younger Herschel has truly re-
marked that astronomy in the magni-
tude and sublimity of the objects of
which undoubtedly ranks first in the
scale of sciences, while Geology follow
next in the train" eH t.r
The Importance of the science of as
tronomy and Geology is acknowledged
by every one, few however have suffi-
cient leisure to bestow upon these sub
jects much attention. They look upon
the ponderous tonnes which men of
science have from time to time pre-
pared with sort of Indifference as
too learned for them. And yet show
any of them curious star in the heav-
ems, tell them of the wonders revealed
by the telescope, exhibit to them the
impression of fish in sandstone, OH chalk,
or show them through a microscope
the curious and distinctive structure of
fossil teeth on the iIfusoria in a trag.
ment of flint and they will give willing
attention. We are well convinced
that true philosophy and religion go
hand in hand and that if san undevout
astronomer is mad," so must be an un-
devout geologist.
How vast and enobling the ideas of
creative wisdom which these sister
scit nces afford.
The mind is overwhelmed by the
immensity of creation, whether it
strives to reach beyond the fartherest
star yet discovered through optic glass,
or whether it endeavors to reckon the
years elapsed since the first granite
rocks upreared their rugged sleeps
amid the primeval waters. 1t would
be difficult TO name study more in
teresting than the earth past and pre-
sent, for, by distinct chain of causea-
tion it unites the presentwith the remot-
est past, constantly conducts to the
boundaries ofphysical science and even
gives us a glimpse ofthe regions beyond
The crystal sphere and orbs which were
once imagined to exist are so far as sta
bility and uniformity are concerned
now no longer necessary. A few simple
motions, result of one law controlled by
one power divine, sustains the mighty
fabric. The geologist looks upon the
heavens and earth as but everlasting,
he comprehends that thousand
changes may come over them while
still they move on in their grand cir
cles. To him the present configuration
of land and sea, is but one of the many
changes through which the globe has
passed, and he is prepared to admit
that the whole human race may be
swept the away and new creation
succeed. 1f.-s ia eai 81
+ We ask in vain whether other worlds
. are inhabited, no voice comes to us
; from those distant beautiful orbs to tel
us OF life, no eye can penetrate so far
We turn then with renewed zeal tc
to study the science of. the changes
! that have taken place in the organic
and inorganic Kingdoms of nature al
developed on the surface of our owr
planet.
a"In the beginning" and where
shall the beginning be? we endeavo
in vain to penetrate the almost sepul
cral stiffness and darkness of the prim
eval world and trace with certainty tn
order of things.
"In the beginning God created tn
heavens and the earth" certainly ther

Pacific Republic.

The Saunon Tindca.or says the idea Of the separa-
ton Of the Pacific States from the Confederacy is one
that has been entertained but lain dormant since
the discovery of gold in that region Now that the
North American Republic is about to tOppe to its fall,
the scheme of Pacific Republic springs into vigorous
existence with certainty Of its formation in the event
Of the secession OF the Cotton States. Hon. N. A.
OerO, delegate from New Mexico has already written to
his people advising them unite theft destiny with the
Pacific States in the event Of dissolution Of the Union.
Certainly that would be the most natural alliance New
Mexico should make unless Texas should resume her po-
s,On among the Republics Of the Continent and EN-
braeing chihuahua, Tamaulipas Durango and several
other of the Mexican States, and Arizona and New
Mexico form Conederaey of vast Territorial limits,
well as immense mineral wealth and agricultural capabil-
tiles. The first announcement Of actual secession will
cause TO spring into existence nuumerabe schemes Tor
