90 what emotions sweled the heart of
that devoted man, as he knelt by the bed
side Of the dying volunteer, the young SOL
der of Christ and with tones so low that
cnly the ear of God and that of him who
was passing away could hear, besought
Gods grace and presence. Never in all
his experience had his heart been so power
fully wrought upon; never had feeling Of
such unutterable tenderness took possessinn
of his soul. He seemed already in the pre-
sence of a gloriiied spirit and after the
prayer was over, restraining his sobs, he
bent down, ard pressed upon the beautiful
brow, already chilled with the breath of the
coming angel, twice, thrice, fcrvant kiss.
They might have been as tokens from the
father and the mother, as well as himself.
So perhaps though the dying soldier, for
heavenly smile touched his face with new
beauty, as he said, "Thank you won't
trouble you any longer; you are wearied

The Lord God be with you" was the
fervent response.

SAVAGE ExPEpIENT TO OBTAIN WAT
ER.-Livingstone, the African traveller, de-
scribes an ingenious method by which the
Africans obtain water in the desert The
woman tie a bunch of grass TO one end of
reed about tvs feet long, aud insert it in a
hole dug as deep as the arm viii reach,
then ram down tae wet sand firmly around
it. Applying the mouth TO the free end of
the reed, they form a vacuum in the grass
bent ath, in which the water collects, and in
a short time rises 10 the mouth. 1t will be
seen that this simple, but truly philosophical
and efectual method, might have been ap-
Piled in many cases in different countries,
where water was greatly need, d, to the
saving of life. II seems wonderful that ii
should have been now first known to the
world, and that it should have been habiu-

How OLD is THE RACE ?--When, dur
ing the tertiary period, more than hund.
red thousand years ago. the Irish elk and
the rhinoceros rosmed through the forests
of France, human race dwelt there.
Their burial-place has been discovered. Il
is cave in the side Of limestone noun.
tain in southern France, bearing traces of a
vast amount of labor expended in fitting it
for sepulchre, and securing it from notice.
Its entrance had been closed, and ii was
found by sinking shaft sixty-six feet deep.
Great masses Of human bones were found
there, with those of the stag, reindeer, rhind-
ceros, and wild horse, probably offerings to
the dead. The rude Celtic tribes, who are
commonly supposed to be the first dwellers
in France, must have appeared long after
this people, for the Celts had no knowledge
OF these species of animals, and do not speak
of them even in their traditions.
In English caverns, the bones Of bears,
hyenas, and Of man mingle In such a man
ner that they must have been deposited at
the same time. In some Of them, the same
mass of rock holds the bones Of elephants.
hippopotami. lions, and man. When tried
by muriatic acid, no differance can be de-
tected between the bones Of the animals
and OF man, their age being SO great that
the animals matter had disappeared.
Science knows that these bones were de-
posted during former geologic peliod,--a
period to which the duration of six thous-
and years becomes but tioment. Fossil
human bones, mingled with the remains Of
the hyena, bear, and other animals. have
beed found in the tertiary strata Of Europe,
and identical with them in appearance,
color, and fossilization.
The naturalist Lund found In Brazil fossil
human bones in the solid rock, with the re.
mains of an ape, and the usual extinct anis
mails.
Immense blocks Of stone, piled above
these fossils by force of great commissions,
attest their extreme antiquity. Agassiz
estimates the age of a human foot and jaw,
found by him in the coast limestone Of
Florida, at one hundred and thirty~ive
years.
In the blue clay underneath the bluffs Of
the Mississippi human bones have been
found below those Of the extinct megalonyx,
and entirely fossilized. In making an ex-
cavation at New Orleans, an Indians skull
was found beneath four cypress forests.
The time needed to form each of these cy-
press strata is estimated at fourteen thons-
and years.-Rep q. III Theelock
