A Unwilling Romance.

Where viii be found more
touching and truthful picture of
life than is depicted in the follow
ing short romance; 1t contains
but two chapters, but each is as
full of meaning rs an egg is full of
meat:
Chapter 1. She stood beside the
altar, with a wreath of orange buds
upon her head-upon her back the
richest kind of duds ; her lover
stood beside her with white kid
gloves and clean-the last was
twcnty.one years old, the first was
seventeen. Tho parsons job was
over, every one had kissed the
bride, and wished the young folks
happiness, and laughed, and
danced, and cried. The last kiss
had boon given and the last word
had been said, and the happy pair
had simmercd down and sought
the bridal bed.
Chapter 2. She stood beside the
wash tub, with her red hands in
the suds, and at her slip-shod feet
was a pile of dirty duds. Her hus-
band stood beside her, the crossest
man a.iye--tho last twenty nine
years old, and the first twenty five.
The heavy wash was over, and
the clothes hung out to dry, and
Tom stuck his finger in the dirty
baby's eye. Tom had been spank
ed, and his supper made upon a
crust of bread, and then the bride
and bridegroom went grumblins
Otto bed.

The Dead Sea.

English science has just solved
II curious and interesting problem
the exact gcodesical position ol
the Dead Sea. All sorts Of state
ments have been male from time
to time, about the true level OF its
dreary waters Some geographcrs
pronounce them to be above the
Mediterranean, some on the same
altitude, scmo seven hundred and
ten feet lower, some as many high.
er; thongh the best authorities
agree in considering the basin OF
the Asphaltic Lake TO be the low.
est known depression of the earth
and set it down as about enc thou
sand three hundred and ten feet
beneath the surface of the larger
sea. This view is not qnite con
iirmcd, though the actual measure.
ments are n little different. A
party Of Royal onginccs: nndcr
the command Of Captain Wilson,
set ont in September last, to make
u survey of Jerusalem, and to
Level" the country from that
coast to the city; and thence to the
Dead Sea valley. The levelin9 Of
the Mediterranean to the Dead
Sea has BEEN performed with dii,
fcrent instruments by Independent,
observers, and with such nicely
that the result can be relied on
within three or four inches. Mean.
while, benchmarks have been Gu,
upon rocks and buildings upon the
line followed /; and traverse sur.
veys have been made, so that the
work done may become the basis OF
more extended geodcsical eXami-
nations of the interesting cuuntry
toward which ChristendOm is tur-
lining with new and serious interest,
The issue Of these careful observa
tions is to show that on the 18th
day of March, 1865, the Dead Sea
lay one thousand two hundred and
ninety-two feet below the Mediter
ranean level which, if it proves
our old estimate was slightly in
excess, singularly confirms the cal
culations by barometer of tho Due
de Luynes and Lieutenant Vignes,
who set it at one thousand two hun
died and eighty-six feet onthe III
Of June 1864. At this season q
the winter freshets, the waters o
this strange secluded lake, stanC
two or three ieot higher, and in the
ltiercest heats Of summer, they arC
again lowered six feet by evapo
ration. Thus the greatest depres
sion of the Dead Sea is now fixed
at one thousand two hundred and
ninety eight feet; and as we know
that Lieutenant Lynch found {
depth Of one thousand two hundred
and eight feet opposite tho Wady
Zerka- ala, wo are now sure tina
the bottom lies some two Thousand
six hundred feet below the coast o
Jaiia. This is q depression o
surface beyond anything of thu
kind, and undoubtedly it IS due t.
some tremendous natural ,convul
sion, the memory OF which is pre-
served in thelcgends of tho buriee
cities, and ia tho dreadful and nc
cursed aspect of tho sea itsclf.-

A Mountain Of Salt.

Among the many curiosities and
that have lately been dis
in the far off Western
wilds, none is more striking or
marvellous than the mountain of
Rock Salt, situated about twenty
miles from Meadow Valley, Neva-
da, and only eighteen miles from
the head ofnavigation on the Colo.
RADIO river. 1t rises abruptly from
the plain, about tour hundred feet
in height, Il mountain of pure,
sparkling crystalized salt. Not
particle of dirt upon it, seemingly
a mountaiu of glass, being per-
tectly transparent, and when the
reflection of the sun falls upon it,
the glare is binding. We have
seen specimens taken from it, now
in possession of Mr., @. b. Norris,
and it resembles pure crystal, more
than it does salt. From what we
can learn of its extent and magni-
tudc, there is salt enough in this
one mountain to supply this conti-
ncnt for a century.-&. Joseph

Old Age.

Let il always bo respected. 1t
has its dark side always--and It's
bright side when the life has been
godly. But in all cases let the |
young revere tho aged, and honor
the old men and aged women. Ow
heart always goes out to the chill
dren who arc kind and respectful
to the occupant of the old arm.
chair, who love to wait on the
grandmothcrs and grandiathers.
Old agc--we are always glad to
see it in comfortable circumstances,
When people have been industri.
ous to bear the burdens of life in
the heat of tho day, it is pccu-
liarly pleasant sight to SEQ then:
surrounded by n competency in old
age. 1t is a bad policy that squan.
ders in youth and in the vigor of
manhood, instead oi accommodating
something against the time of cd
age. At that period the sprightli-
ness of youth and tho strength of
midlifo have passed. The intirma
ties of old age, the load OF years,
when they that look out, the win.
dows are darkened, when one
starts at the sound of the bird,
when fear is in the way--all these
make it desirable that the agod be
most kindly administered unto by
children, grandchildren, and all
other members of the household.
And this care and respect Of old
a c, the Bible enioins as a filial
and sacred duty upon the young.
Old age may be the lot of any Of
ui : and we have said that it has
its bright side. Sometimes it il
conte ,nplated with much pleasure
