ANIMALS IMBEDDEp IN SToSE.-Fre-
ouent instances, as is well known, are re-
corded by naturalists, of toads and other
animals which have been found completely
imbeded in solid rock. Some people are
disposed to be skeptical in relation 10 these
facts, but they are too well authenticated
to admit of doubt, since there is nothing
in them that savors of the miraculous.
Let it be borne in mind that toads are
cold blooded animals. and that there is a
great physiological difference between the
cold -blooded and warm.blooded animals,
inasmuch as the former can preserve life
or vitality under circumstances which
would be Immediately fatal to the latter.
No instance is recorded of the discovery
of warm-blooded animal being found
imbedded in stone. But toads and other
reptiles, and shell-fish, like many sorts OF
insects. may be preserved for an indefinite
length of time. in particular states of con-
finement from the atmospheric air. This
vitality is very much like that Of an egg.
A perfect chicken would peri.h in very
few hours, if it could not escape from the
shell; but the contents of fresh egg VIII
preserve their vitality for an indefinite
length of time, if the pores Of the egg.
shell are completely closed by some kind
of substance applied to the surface OF the
shell. Shell-fsh. and toads. imbedded in
sand or clay, or any soft substance that
should harden into stone, would lay there
in torpid state for ages. They are cold
blooded, and as long as no heat comes 70
them from without they cannot perish.
There is nothing contradictory to the laws
of Nature in these facts.

A SINKING STATE.-The most danger.
GUS enemies of the soil OF Florida are
what its inhabitants call "Sinks." Those
absorptions of the earth, though on
small scale, are, in fact, so numerous, that
one NAV almost ask: "Is Florida slip
ping between the fingers Of bo,h Federais
and Confederstcs :" and will she ultimate
ly-like those high mountains OF the
Andes during the earthquake of Chilli in

when in that sinking State, sinks OF all
sizes, forms and ages. Some are slight,
saucer-like depressions, others, still deep
er, like basins, of from twenty. to eighty
Yards across or only uneven slopes and
hollows, which would pass unnoticed
were not one informed that the land just
there had been sinking since such
time; or that an old inhabitant remem-
bered dead level where now there are
various dells crowded with vegetation.
Sometimes, and these are the most remark
able, the sinks are round and even. like
wells, which, indeed, one might suppose
them to be, so regular and perpendicular
are their walls. Some of these are formed
suddenly, during or after heavy rains, and
are the result of one storm. They are
sunk, perhaps, in an hour, in a night
without sign or warning; in the middle
of the road, of garden, or it may he
cattle pen. On one plantation know OF
several such sinks. One is about thirty
feet deep, and eight or nine across an.
other is twenty feet deep, and about four
across the mouth. Sometimes it is not
possible to distinguish the real bottom OF
the sink, for after the soil has been wished

OUR naval vessels continue to attract large
crowds whenever they put into French ports,
a fact which is in great part due to the late
combat of the port Of CherbourR. The de-
tails Of the COMBAT in the port Of Mobile Is
attracting also great deal Of attention from
the fact that in that case, wooden vessels
with iron prows attacked powerful cuiralsed
vessel-an event which upsetS the theory that
wooden vessels are no longer to venture into
u contest with ironclads. Thus as fast a.
this vast and obstinate war establishes ue"
theory, and new progress in the art OF de-
struction, another still newer Is discovered TO
upset the old one and to perplex and confuse
men Of war, and men Of science.

Watching the darkness creep over the Iky,

That might have frightened the day;
Of duties dreamed Of but never begun.
Scattered along my way
You lie with peace in your violet eyes
You have not learned regret
For the sorrowful years that make US wise
Have not come to my baby yet.
And still, as sit In this twilight hour.
Al the close of weary day,
Even sorrow and sin do not quite have power
okeep blessing away
A blessing that falls like dew from the heaven
On the parched and thirsty ground: ..
And In loving much, because much forgiven.
Ny deeper peace Is found.
Your life, my little baby. Is just begun.
And mine Is growing old -.'.
But we're children both in the eyes Of One
Who're years are all untold
He holds ns both In his loving hand,
He pardonS all our sin,
And, by-and.by, to the same sweet Land
He will gently let US In.
