Mr.. Lincoln looked up from his work

Douglas immediately grasped his hat

asked the President to explain what Lin

Since then, Douglas and Lincoln have

MARCH.

The stormy March is come at last.
With winds and cloud and changing skies,
I hear the rushing of the blast,
That through the snowy valley fiies.
All? passing few they are who speak,
Wild, stormy month, in praise of thee;
Yet. though thy winds are loud and bleak,
Thou art a welcome month to me.
For thou to northern lands again,
The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hast Joined the gentle train,
And wear'st the gentle name of Spring.
And, in thy reign of blast and storm,
Smiles many a long bright sunny day,
When the changed winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue of May.
Then sings aloud the gushing rills
And the full springs from frost set free,
That brightly leaping down the hills,
Are Just set out to meet the sea.
The years departing beauty hides
Of wintry storms the sullen threat:
But, in thy earnest frown abides
A look of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope of those calm skies,
And that soft time of sunny showers.
When the wide bloom on earth that lies,
Seems of brighter world than ours.
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1860-03-07

CAN'T AFFORD Ir.-Those who are counting
the costs of dissolving the Union, may close
their calculation somewhat after the fashion
of the old woman in the subjoined anecdote !:
GA person having occasion to visit an old
couple in Durham of extremely penurious hab-
its, found them holding counsel together upon
matter which apparently weighed heavily on
the minds of both, and thinking it was respect
ing the probable dissolution of the wife, who
was lying dangerously i'll, proceeded to offer
them all the consolation in his power; but
was cut short by being informed that this was
not exactly the subject they were discussing,
but one which affected them still more deeply,
viz: the cost of the funeral; and to his aston
ment, they continued their ghastly calcula-
tions until every item in the catalogue, from
coffin to night-cap had been gone through,
with much grumbling at the rapacity of the
undertakers, when bright thought suddenly
struck the husband, and he exclaimed-sW
Janet, lass, you may not die after all, We ken.'
sDeed, and hope not, Robert replied his
helpmate, in low, feeble voice, sfor am
quite sure we cannot afford it,

Agassiz has a human jaw and portions of a
foot taken from conglomerate rock in Florida,
which, he thinks, is at least 0,000 years old !:
he might add 100 900 as we'll. DR.. Dickinson
has portion of human pelvis Ga true fossiD,
obtained near Natchez, Mississippi-in terta-
ry deposits. supposed to be 10000 years old.
The world renowned Guadalupe fossil, to
which no antiquity has been assigned with any
degree of probability, is certainly as old in
fact, no definite time or age can be ascrIbed to
any fossil we can only approximate to it, and
that not very closely; we may say of fossils,
that they are 10 900. 100 900, or SOC, 900 years
old, and yet that will seem short in geological
computations. 1t would be impossible to set
any limit to the period when man did not ex-
ist on our globe, nor can we approximate that
age until we can, by geology or some other
means, determine how long time has elapsed
since the continents were covered with the
waters of the drift and then determine how
long anterior to that the stone hatchets and o.
ther implements which were found, passed
under the hand of their fabricators.
