nsfense of Old Mini.

The Eclectic ReVieV is a gentleman, and
thus pays his addresses to old maids: The
old maid of novels and plays, indeed-prim,
censorious, and spiteful-is disappearing. In
her place we havea most cheerful, contented,
benevolent, and popular lady, seldom behind
the fashion or behind the litrature and
news of the day-beloved by newphews and
nieces, married brothers, sisters, and cousins /;
3 tower Of strength in times of sickness and
family troubles a faVorite visitor, yet not
always visiting, nor staying too long some
times, on the contrary, having a snug little
home of her own where pet nephews and
nieces spend a few days most delightfully."- a
guardian angel Of the poor; a valuable
auxiliary to the Clergyman and clergyman's
wife; in high esteem and respect among
trades-people a famous letter. writer, and a
fabIicator of most beautiful fancy work!
Of this genus we are privileged to know
several specimens, some Of whom, we are
bold to hope, will bride when they read this
little account and say, with a pleased, half
doubtful look, We'll I'm sure this can't be
me Yes, it is you, aunt Kate, and aunt
Maria, and ever so many aunts with pretty
names who have been pretty young women
in your time, and who now have something
more dear than beauty. You are the salt Of
our country as long as you are objects and
subjects OF such warm and kindly feelings,
you greatly contribute to the support of the
social affections.
Mrs. Welby thus paid her sweet tribute 10
the old maid:

Though passionate wOrshipers b tfOre her fall
Like some pare planet Ia her lonely pride,

True Charity it's own Angel,

The truest charity, says Ben. f. Taylor, in
the Chicago Journal, is its otCH angel, the
world over, a truth beautifully illustrated in
the story Of the Irish S~choohmaster. He had
taken several lads for charity's sake, had
given them a seat by his fire and a share of
his food he had them, ever as the birds are
taught to sing, "without price !" it had light
ened his basket and diminished his store.
One night he had a dream: Heaven was in
sight and he was striving to attain it. He
had piled, so he dreamed, all the good deeds
he could think of, and had clambered upon
the summit, but Heaven was yet as far off to
the poor schoolmaster as it was to Dives.
He heaped up all his learning, and the aims
he had given to the poor in the sight of the
great congregation, and still the blessed
place was beyond his reach.
He was in despair, and all the while he
had never bestowed a thought upon the poor
bows he had fed and taught. But Just then,
when Paradise was fading from his sight,
they came and they made a ladder for the
old man, a ladder of hands and strong arms,
and be stepped from the shoulder of the last
Of them, lightly and easily iato Heaven.
And such is the charity that blesses him
that gives, as well as him that takes.
That eccentric physician who prescribed
a new shawl for a complaining lady, and
at once pronounced her convalescent, was
something of a philosopher. For hundreds
of heart sick people, the prescription might
be varied with the happiest results, and read
"an old shawl for a shivering sister"
There is no alchemy SO potent to kindle
the jewel of content, as a visit TO those who
are less blest than we. Would you make
the old faded carpet look bright as new ?
Enter the tenemen whose floors are bare,
and the stars shine through the roof We
count the blessings that are missing, but
how rarely do we number those that we

NEW THEORY Respecting THE EkRfH.-
The Hon. H. W. Taylor, of Ca~nandaigua, n,
Y in a lecture delivered in Paterson, Nj,
last week, as reported in the Paterson
Guardian, controVerted the cOmmonly-re-
ceived opinion that the earth is an oblate
spheIoid, and holds that instead of being fat
near the poles, there is a hollow depression /;
quoting in support Of this opinion, recent
Geographical discoveries. Extending 2,600
miles across the poles is a warm sea whose
existence would be incompatible with the re-
eeiYed theory.
The rays Of the sun, in Summer, striking
inside the cavity which has the icy circle for
a rim, generates a vast amountOf heat which,
in connection with the increased warmth re-
sultiDg from a nearer approach to the earths
center, becomes adequate To the production
of the tropical phenomena which, found on
the edges of the Polar Sea, have hitherto
proved enigmatical.
The northern regions abound with ne.
mains of tropical plants and animals, and in
the most northern parts Of Siberia; around
the Polar Sea, embedded in the soil that is
washed by this unknown tropical ocean, are
remains of Tbinoceros, hippopOtamns. and
elephant, the latter, il is said, exceeding 10
number all the animals now living in Che
world. Mr., Taylor cited the Opinion Of Sir
John Herschel, showing that such a depreB.
sion at the poles would be the necessary re.
suit Of a globe of liquid set in motion viii
the velocity Of the earth around its owl
axis.

A Darkey,s idea OF Responsibility.

Darkey's ldea oil HLespectaD11tYs
In a recent volume this anecdote is re-
lated:
Early in the month of June, 1852, I was
again on my way to Tuscaloosa, but this
time from Mobile. | had stopped at various
places to preach, and had become a little ex-
hausted, by reason of labor and excessive
heat. Nevertheless, as l had appointments
for every day in the next four months, ex-
tending through a wide region o. country,
it was necessary 10 push on without regard
to weakness. 1 had quilted the house of q
friend in the canebrake early one morning,
hoping to reach Greensborough, forty miles
off, by night. Ny conveyance was a one
horse buggy the driver a kind-hearted old
negro. By eleven O'Clock, | found, myself
growing faint, and requested Uncle Sam to
stop at the first house that I might rest. A
gate was soon reached, and lifting me from
the carriage, Sam supported me to the door
in which stood a damsel to whom | said,-
MAY | have leave to rest here a little
while I'll don't feel very WE'LL
Perhaps my pallid, ghostly appearance
scared her for, without a word, she pointed
to a room on the right, and then fed with
precipitation. Sam had hardly laid me on
the bed when l fell into a deep swoon, from
which l did not recover for an hour. AS
consciousness began to revive, / found the
kind.hearted negro sedulously engaged in
rubbing and tanning me.
Cant you get something to strengthen
me, Ssm2" l feebly said.
"No, massa," he replied, "they got notbin'
but whisky, and dere nothin' but trash, poor,
mean white folks; dey won't come a'near
you, nor do a hands turn for you, cause
dey think you got the cholera, and dey
catch it. Never mind massa," he said in a
CHEEKY way, 81 can nuss you; p then adding
with the finest scorn, "dey's nothin' but
nasty piney.w wood people, no how"
His untiring exertfons, together with a
bucket of cold water which he brought from
another hour l was ready for the road. AS
we drove away, the indignant old fellow ex-
claimed
81 hope de Lord will strike dat house wild
lightnin' and kill all dem peoples geese and
chickens. Dey don't W no niggers, SO dey
