ArxosrHrK1c AcrIoN.-The carbonie

HArMosPHERIC AcrIoN.-The carbonic
acid Of the air slowly attacks the rocks
above the ocean level, and tn us turns
them to clay, forming carbonates with
the soda, potash, lime and magnesia set
free, and carries these down as carbon
ates to the sea, where the carbonate Of
soda decomposes the chloride of calcium
ofeits waters, and forms common salt
and carbonate of lime. This series of
actions is the source of the salt of the
sea, of all clay sand Of Emestoncs which
are chemical and not organic in their
origin. Organic living things do not
generate the carbonate of lime, but ap
propriate it, when found for them by
chemical reactions; and thus great por
tons of our limestone rocks are made up
of fossil remains. In forty four feet of
limestone there is separated and condens
ed from the air whole atmosphere Of
carbonic acid gas; the early atmosphere
was therefore very dense and unfit for
the sustenance of the higher forms of
life, until by far the greater portion of
this gas has been removed by the forna-
ton of the carbonate of lime aud vegeta
bic matter now constituting coal and
petroleum.

HARD TIM ES.

People complain they have no cash in hand,

Even from father to the son and daughter.
Merchants cry out no money to be had,
And groccrs say the times are very bad;
Mechanics work. but they get pay:
Beaux dress genteel, and ladies too are gay. -
Cash very scarce-daneing twice week
Business dull-4smusemsnt still seek
Some live whilc-an then perhaps they fail,
While many run in debt and go to Jail.
The females mus. have ribbons, gaure and lace,
Aud paint besides. Sto smooth rinkled face;
The beaux will dress, go to the ball and play,
Sit up all night and lay abed all day, gww
Brush up empty pate. look smart and prim,

To follow fashions and delight in dress?
No times good, but people to blame,
Who spend too much and justly merit shame.

The Riley draalatic troupe recently
played out remunerative season in
Greencastle. The faculty of Asbury
University, with ajeaious regard for the
morals of the students. tabooed the.thca-
ire. Learning that the ukase prohibiting
attendance at the temple of Thespis was
being ignored by the frisky students, a
learned Professor gravely took his stand
at the door one night, armed with note
bock and pencil, to take down the names
of such contumscious young gentlemen
as persisted in going to the devil in de-
fiance ofthe faculty. The students, to
the number of about one hundred and
fifty. sailed around the old gentleman
by backing their faces with burnt cork

4 Pair of Rattlesnakes Three Months
ina Express 0ffice

For the last three months a box lay in
the American Express Office in this city,
until yesterday. Since the 4th of July
last, this box remained ''until called for. -
For some time past strange noises had
been heard in the vicinity of the box
with the unknown contents, and the
mig hit watchman' >lumbers had frequent
ly been disturbed, Yester rday tbs, box
emitted peculiar odor, ard a clerk wa,
commissioned to ascertain the cause.
When opening the securely nailed top,
out jumped two well grown rattlesnakes,
one about FIVE and the other seven feet
long
The shorter reptile, although lying in
the box for three months, was in a
healthy condition, and in full possession
of Its faculties. for its first impulse was to
raise its venonous fangS at its deliverer.
The other exhibited serious signs of in
firnity, for one-half' Of the body was in u
bad state of decomposition The aston
ishnent Of the officials at the unusual
sight gave way to a feeling Of security,
when the porter Of the establishments
dispatched the larger but less animated
reptile by well directed blow on the
head. The other required more string
ent measures, and decapitation was re.
sorted to before life became extinct The
snakes were booked from Great Bend
Indiana. and were evidently intended for

locality Toronto Globe.

All honor to Grrnt for refusing to lend

Maryland has yet to commemorate the
battle of Antietam-has YET to erect a
monument to the patriot heroes who fell
there. She will have done it when she
puryes herself Of the spirit of proscrip-

growing out of the late rebellion, may be
regarded as serious calamity to both
