The FITNESS or Times. Did any
body ever reflect how living in such
country as Australia, for instance,
must upset all ones established ideas
about the fitness of things? What
ever previous experience of the points
of the compass a man may have had,
is here reversed. The sun no longer
shines from the southern half of the
heavens, but from the northern. The
old rule in the school Biographies,
Turn your face to the sun, and you
will have the west at your right hand,
and the east at your left, must be-
expunged from his memory. The
Australians go "down North" to spend
the winter, and come sup South" dur
ing the hot summer months. Tho
first strawberries and early potatoes
came from "down North" Tho nee
die of the compass points toward the
south, and the North Star is no longer
symbol of steadiness. In short, tho
north and the south exchange places,
and the Australian poets must sing
odes to "the sunny north" and "the
icy south.

NEss.--There is mysterious
feeling that frequently passes like n
cloud over the spirit. 1t comes upon
the soul in the busy hustle of life, in
the social circle, in the calm and ST.
lent retreat of solitude. It's power is
alike supreme over the weak and the
iron-hearted. At one time it is caused
by a single thought across the mind
Again sound will come booming
across the ocean of memory, gloomy
and solemn as the death-knell over
shadowing all the bright hopes and
sunny feelings of the heart. Who can
describe it, and yet who has not felt
its bewildering influence e? Still it is
a delicious sort of sorrow, and like u
cloud dimming the sunshine of the
river, although casting a momentary
shade of gloom, it enhances the beau
ty of returning brightness.

THF INDIAN AND TIE F1AsK OF BRAN
DY.- Some visitors to the falls of Nj
agua found an Indian standing on n
rock above the cataract At little
distance was projecting point Of
land, between which and the spot
where the savage stood, the rapids
We're sweeping with smooth but
swift current One Of the travellers
asked the red man if he could swim
through the rapids to the point. 81
cannot tell, was the reply, "but l will
tly il you viii give me that flask Of
brandy, which your servant has in his
hand. The flask was accordingly
given to him, and taking it in his
hand, he plunged in the tide. He
swan vigorously, and soon seemed
about to achieve his dangerous enter
prise. But deficient fer a successful
execution Of the exploit, either in
strength OF skill, he missed the point
and shooting little below it, he was
instantly at the mercy of tho rapids.
He saw his e,ror and his danger, and
struggled with desperate energy to
gain the land. In yainl Every sweep
Of his vigorous arm leaves him farther
from the island, and nearer to the
spot where the CLASSY water bends
over the rock Seeing all chance Of
escape was passed, the savage ceased
his efforts, and drifted in the stream.
Then rising on the tide, he held the
flask in one hand, while he wrung ont
the cork with the other, and applying
I the inverted vessel to his lips, disap-
peared over the cataract Is there
not some analogy between this des-
porate savage and the votaries OF
pleasure? DO they not venture into
smooth but deceitful tide, for light
and transient qualifications, and lose
themselves fatally and forever in that
eyer-troubled abyss, in which The
streams of vice and folly terminate?

L1rrLE CHILDREN. Children are the
poetry of the world--the fresh flowers
of our hearts and homes--httIe conju-
rors, with their natural magic, eyok-
ing by their spells what delights and
enriehes all ranks, and equalizes the
different classes Of society. Often as
they bring with them anxieties and
cares, and live to occasion sorrow and
grief, we should get on very badly
without them. Only think if there
was never anything anywhere to be
seen but grown-up men and women,
Loy we should long for the sight of a
little child. Every infant comes into
the world like delegated prophet
the harbingcr and herald of good I'D
ipgs, whose office is "to turn the
hearts of the fathers to the childrep,

Tnr LARGEST FARM IN THE WoRLp.--
NJ. J.. Sullivant, Esq, Of Champaign
county, Illinois, owns seventy thon-
sand acres of as good land as is to be
found on the face Of the globe, twenty
thioe thousand acres of which is I'M
der cultivation, while the remainder is
used for herding purposes.
This is undoubtedly the most extern
siye farm in the world, ard it is said
to be conducted on the most approved
plans. Nearly all the labor is per-
formed by machinery, so that one man
can perform, or rather superintend
the labor of five. He drives his posts
by horse power, cultivates his corn by
machinery, bitches, sows, and plants
by machinery, so that all his laborers
can ride and perform their duties.
Mr.. S. gives employment to two hun
dred farm hands, two hundred horses,
and large number of oxen.

TIE Earth's Center.

OF what is the central portion of the
earth composed. is a question which
many have striren to solve, and many
more would like to have solved to sat
isfy their curiosity; though / presume
the unfolding of the mystery would
actually benefit none. This, as well
as many other matters, is kept con
cealod from the knowledge of man by
the high and mighty Ruler of the
Universe, no doubt for some good and
wise purpose
believe that-the majority of great
mon, who have made this a subject OF
study, have at last satisfied themselves
that tho whole central mass of the
earth is one immense body of melted
matter confined and enclosed by a
comparatively cool crust or surface, on
which we pass our lives in imaginary
safety; and through this crust the mol
ten substance occasionally finds vent
in volcanic eruptions, or exhibits its
latent heat in forcing up hot water.
1t is evident that to melt stony sub
stances, such rs lava appears to be
composed Of, must require immense
heat, and apparently more than could
be generated within the cone of o
mountain These demonstrations, to-
gether with the fact that the tempera-
turc Of tho earth increases regularly
towards the centre, as far MS man has
penetrated, leads us to conclude
though strange to think of, that We
are existing on the cooled surface Of
an immense ball of fire, whose dimen-
sions, indeed, are almost inconceivablC
to man. - w. s., II, Riccrs1de Echo.

THEORY OF GOSSIP. We are often
asked, "What is gossip ?" We answer,
in a general way, that it is talking of
persons rather than things. Nothing
shows fho paucity of ideas more than
this talking about the affairs of your
neighbors. = is not only malicious
people who originate scandal, it is
narrow-minded people, ignorant peo-
pie, stupid people Persons of culture
and intelligence are not so hard run
for topics of conversation. They can
usually find something to say about
art, literature, fashion or society. The
moment people begin to talk of their
neighbors- of persons rather than
things -they are apt to degenerate in
to scandal; for where one speaks of
the virtues OF an acquaintance, a doz-
en- oxpatiate on his or her shortcom-
ings. And this brings us to speak of
real culture, or what we consider to
be such, at least. A cultivated person,
in the highest sense of the term, is
not merely one who can talk of books,
pictures, ulu OtjtI tlSNdlCu SUBJECTS
of human interest. To be thoroughly
cultivated, the heart, as well as the in
tellect, should be refined and enlarged.
Sometimes we see women who, with
out education, yet having been born
amiable, arc never guilty Of gossip.
Again, we see women, not naturally
amiable, whom education has taught
to talk of things, not of persons. The
perfect woman, in this respect, is one
who is both amiable aud educated.
But education does not always elevate
people above the regions of gossip.
A really bad heart is always malicious
The best advice we can give is the
homely old adage: mind your own
business" Very few of MS ever know
the whole truth about anything con
corning a neighbor; and to speak Of
his or her conduct is usually to run
the risk of being unjust. Much less
should we talk of the motives of 9th.
ers. Very few Of us know our own
motives, and to venture on discussing
neighbours motives is always impcr.
Thence, and often Il real crime.
