their dentition, particularly by the

jaw as well as in the upper, the
teeth were smaller and more nu-

difference in the form of the trans

been discovered in the upper stra-

growth, the ball bad been pushed
from the root Of the tusk to its
centre.

a glimmer OF light here and there cal.
culated to show what IL is, ought to
be productive of good, if il is not e.
What is greatness Where is the
standard measure, and who comes up
10 itf Il there no scale graduated
that we may compare this with that,
so as to ascertain their relative position
in degrees 7 II would seem not. The
world on which we strut and fret n
day, whilst II is getting lighter in
weight as II transcends its early orbit,
is getting heavier and depser with the
weight of great men on it How
many great men hath the nation now
on its roll of active life 7 How many
could we muster on n call for the
MALTA of Louisiana IL would be q
curious scene 10 cell them out and
attempt TO graduate them. There
would be fights and foot races for
week, to settle the grade of Captains
in greatness-great Major Generals
and Field Marshals. The truth of
this was beautifully illustrated the
other day, in a call on the MALTA to
"muster" in one of the back counties
in Mississippi. The field was full of
Captains and officers of higher degree,
and there was no one on the ground
willing TO fall into the body of the
army and obey commands.
No man can be great unless he
starts out with kind of intuitive
knowledge that makes greatness
known TO itself lie must have great
capacity of lungs; loud voice and
measure commanding number of
inches around the girth. lie must
not only feel it, but know il to be a
fact, that his opinion is better than
anybody elses. He must write private
letters, designed for publication; make
speeches and raise knotty questions,
such as he alone is able TO settle again
on a permanent basis. He must give
his opinion on every question for
nothing, aud the press will seize upon
IL and act IL up in type for the ad-
of mankind generally. There
must be no compromise about the
truly great man. If he is what ia |
called democrat" in modern par
lance, he must be fxedly so, aud SO |
settled in his opinion as to believe
everybody else foolish or mad, who |
has the assurance and impudence to
differ with him. The great man,
when he commences to climb the lad
der of fame, should never look back. !
Else he stumble and fall into the
from whence he came. II
s no use for greatness to attempt the
dangerous ascent without cocks
Gather in his hat aud spurs on his
heels. The great man must have a
great title--a military title is the
pest, because II has a sound of fury.
This is the greatness that the honor
IT the world bestows, il is the aspir.
ng blood of Lancaster that will not
ink into the earth. In contrallistino-
ion to this, there is a kind Of great
less of soul, little talked of now, and
ct much in vogue. IL is quiet and
nobtrusivc; it goes through tho
'orld untitled indeed il cannot be
onored by mere names.

LooEING ron THE END.-The Sec
oDd Adventisls are again on the
qui rire, in anticipation of the ap.
proximate end of all mundane
things. Those in aud about Boz
ton were looking hard for IL on the
FIRST day of April, but the anxious
watchers were sadly disappointed,
AS it turned out an april fool"
hoax. The Transcript says
A good number of the faithful
assembled at Chapman Hall Satur-
day forenoon, aud enjoyed what
appeared to be refreshing season
to them. They were talking, pray
ing and singing, in the true fevi-
val spirit. Two or three would
rise to speak ut one time. One
woman said she had earnestly look
ed for the coming of Christ since
lS42, when she used TO listen with
delight to Brother Miller. One
young man with a white neckcloth
was fully satisfied, by his process
OF reckoning, that Christ would
come yesterday, or a month from
yesterday. Others were willing to
bide the time, let IL be when it
might. One man through the ex-
pected new heaven and new earth
would be better than me kind of
sky heaven that some drew in their
imaginations. The meeting was
quite protracted, and exhibited
something of n revival of the Ad.
vent spirit.
