Germs Of Adrtrtisina.
A CONTINENT COVERED WITH
ICE,

PROF. AGAssIz comes to tho conclus
sion that the continent OF North Amcri-
ca was once covered with ice q milo in
thickness, thereby agreeing with Pro-
fcssor Hitchcock and other eminent
geological writers concerning the gia-
cial period. In proof Of this conclusion,
he says that the slopes Of the Allegheny
range Of mountains are glacial worn to
tic very top except a few points which
were above the level of the icy mass.
Mount Washington, for instance, is
over six thousand feet high, and tho
rough, unpublished surface of its sum-
init, covered with loose fragments, just
below the level on which the glacier
marks como to an end, tells that il lifted
its head alone above the desolatc waste Of
ice and snow. In this, then, the thickness
of the leo cannot have been much less
than six thousand feet, and this Is in
keeping with the same kind OF evidence
in other parts Of the country, for when
the mountains are much below six thous-
and feet, the ice seems to have passed
directly over them, while the few peaks
rising to that height are left untouched.
The glacier, he argues, was Gods
plough, and, when the ice vanished
from the face of the land, it left it pre-,
pared for the hand of the husbandman.
The hard surfaces of the rocks wero
ground to powder, tho elements of tho
soil were mingled in fair proportions,
granite wascarried into the lime regions,
lime was mingled with the more arid
and unproductive granite districts, and
soil was prepared for the agricultural
uses of man. There are evidences all
over the polar regions to show that at
one period tho heart of the tropics ex-
tended all over the globe. The ice po-
riod is supposed to be long subsequent
to this and next to the last before tho
advent of man.

many seconds, and the two mon could
not lift themselves out of tho bucket
when into the mir, but held on with
white gasping faces, although we wound
up rs fast as we could; and when saw
them ] knew my two boys would never
come back to me as they had gone from
me. But had my husband safe, and 1
tried to take that into my soul, and to
mako it grow there and cover up the
great wounds l had got"
"You didn't tell US how your hus-
band got out" gasped Paul, thinking of
his own just escaped danger.
"No, forgot that, thinking of the
boys. There were terrible eruptions
and explosions down there in the deep
blacknoss, and tho lamps seemed Of no
Use at all, the air was so thick; and God
alone knows how, but the way between
the east and west shafts was opened by
some angel, and the poor fellows es-
capped death by it. At that dreadful
the old places are not cleared away yet,
! and that is what | was waiting for. 1t
will come soon now. John never got
well. lie went away from me day by
day, until at last 1 could find him
no longer; but in some way he left all
his cheerfulness and his thankfulness
behind for mo to live by. The last
words he said were: I'm going to the
west shaft to watch for the boys, you
stay and watch herc.' That night he
died, and l saw the Same full moon
walk down the great blue field up above,
and the shadow of the mountain came
up and it was all darkness; but the sun
was shining when l lifted up my face !;
it had been shining full on my face
and Johns, but it was not the sunshine
that made his shine sos; it was some
thing that he saw in Heaven, and they
put him away with the light still on
| it,"
That night the miners brought up
! from the depth below something that
they touched tenderly and carried with
uncovered heads to the little brown
house.
Little Aunt Nudge need not watch
with wistful look to the miners coming
up any longer; her boys have been
found.
The little brown nut of house has
gone from the mountain; the little wo-
man who had found the fountain of
perpetual youth is gone from earth to
where life springs are immortal, and
she sees the something that John saw
in Heaven /; and as to us who watched
and are left, there are dark mines, and
miners ever coming up and going down
waiting for us to give them a helping
hand, and to pour into the shafts of life
of the sunshine God gives richly to
those that dwell on His mountain.

CAUSE OF FEVER AND AGUE.

EXPERIMENTS to ascertain this were
commenced by an examination of tho
mucous sccretions of patients who had
been most subjected to the malaria, and
in these was detected large amount of
low form of life, such as algiW, funga,
diatomaccea, and dismidea. Some of
these were found to be invariably asso-
ciated with ague. Other bodies, which
were constantly present in such cases,
are described as being "minute," OBJ
long cells, either single or aggregated,
consisting of distinct nucleus, sur
rounded with n smooth cell wall, with
a highly clear, apparently empty space
between the outer cell wall and nucleus.
From these characters it is concluded
that the bodies aro not fungi, but be-
long properly to the alge. These bod
les were not found above the level ut
which the ague was observed. In or
der to ascertain exactly their source, ho
suspended plates of glass over the water
in q certain marsh regarded unhealthy.
In the water which condensed upon tho
under surface of these plates, ne found
an abundance of these structures. From
repeated researches it is, therefore, con-
cluded-First, these spores arc carried
aloft above the surface at night, in tho
damp cxhalatiOn which appears after
sunset second, these bodies rise from
thirty to sixty feet, meyer above the
summit of the damp night-oxhaltation,
and ague is similarly limited; third, tho
day mir Of aguo districts is free from
these bodies.

OUARRELLING.

If anything in the world will mako
Il man feel badly, except pinching his
fingers in the crack of door, it il, un-
quostionably, quarrel. No man ever
fails to think less of himself after it
than before. 1t degrades him In tho
eyes of others, and, what Is worse,
blunts his sensibilitios on the one hand,
and increases the power of passionate
irritabilityon the other. Tho truth is,
the more peacefully and quietly we get
on, tho botter for our neighbors. In
nine cases out of ten the better course
is, if a man cheats you, quit dealing
with him; if he is abusive, quit his
company; and if no ISLANDERS you, take
care so to live that nobody will believe
him. No matter who he is, or how he
misuses you, the wiSest way is to
let him alone; for there Is nothing bet
ter than this cool, calm, and quiet way
of dealing with the wrongs we meet
with.

Query,

Why is it that Copperheads and
rebel sympathizers are so anxious to
have Southern traitors installed into
office, and admitted to the seats in
Congress which they left in 1861 to
organize and arm traitors for the de-
struction Of the Uhionp
Why is it that a certain class Of
persons in the North are so tender of
the "rights of the South" and so en-.
ger TO give their "erring brethren"
place and power2
Is 1t an earnest and honest desire
for the good of the country that
prompted their efforts and actions !?
The solution of their great zeal in
behalf Of what they are pleased to
term constitutional rights" is found
in the remark very frequently heard (:
ave don't care which is right, John
son or Congress we want to see you
quarrel among yourselves"
Having for number Of years,
been entirely devoid of principle, the
Copperhead party, since it was kick
cd out of power by an outraged peo-
pie, has been anxiously waiting and
hoping for something to turn up"
that it might get control Of the Gov.
ernment for its merccnary and dia-
bolical purposes, and they now fancy
that inasmuch as there appears to be
a light difference Of opinion among
some of the members of the Union
organization, that the golden oppor-
tunity has at last arrived, and all they
will have to do will be to bide their
time, and out of the ruins form new
party.
1t will avail them nothing. We
may differ on minor points among
ourselves, but on the main questions
the Union men of this country are n
unit, and will vote and act in solid
phalanx against Copperheads, trai-
tors and treason everywhere.
