Observation-Disclosures known by this word
"aitualism" has very much disturbed Eng
land for some time It is simply that the
"High Church party of the established
Church has been using of forms and cere-
monies which more resemble those of the
Catholic Church, than those employed by the
Glow Church" party. The excitement and
controversy ran SO high that it finally induced
Parliament to recommend grand commission
toinquirer into the subject and report thereon.
The Government, under the advice of Parlia-
lnent, appointed said commission. By last
mail news we learn that they had made a re-
port which especially refers to lately-intro
duced vestments in Church worship. They
say that while these yestments are regarded
by some witnesses Examined in the course of
the investigation as symbolical of doctrine,
and by others as being payment Of ditinc
tive honor to the Holy Communion as the
highest act of Christian worship, they are re-
garded by none as essential, and they give
grave offence to many. They therefore re-
commend that it is expedient to restrain all
variations in respect to vesture from that
which has long been the established usage Of
the Church.

Antiquity of the Human Race.

| Shakespeare in As You Like II, makes Ro.
salind say, "The poor world is almost six
thousand years DID," and there is plenty Of
people In our own day who believe that this
globe came fresh from the hand of the Crea-
tor only sixty centuries ago But geology
has exploded that theory, and the ablest theo-.
loglans now agree that the Esix days" of the
! creation represent vast periods Of time, while
the earth itself is of inconceivable antiquity.
The question which now excites attention is,
whether the human race is not far older than
| is generally believed, and whether it was not
contemporary with the great animals, remains
OF which are nov and then discovered, but
WHICH became extinct before the date Of any
history, sacred or profane, or even Of tradi-
ton. The Interesting discoveries resulting
from the explorations now in progress in
kents Cavern, Deyonshire, England, show
lndlsprtably that man was in existence when
the mammoth, three different species of the
elephant, the rhinoceros, lions ard other ami
mails were common in that country, but which
are now extinct, for the bones of the animals
have been found, and with them, tools, wea-
pons, and other articles which were the un-
mistakable work Of human hands, guided by
intelligence These remains have been found
Embedded in gravel and stalagmite, and the
explorations have been conducted under cir
cunstahces and with care precluding the
possibility Of a deception. A report of these
discoveries has been laid before the British
Association for the Advancement of Science,
IN session at Dundee during the present
month, and an interesting discussion upon
the antiquity Of the human race ensued.-
Sir Charles Lyelf took the ground that these
discoveries were proof positive that man was
coexistent with the mammoth and other ex-
tinct animals which have been believed,
heretofore, to antidate the human race. Other
members agree with him. and in the face of
these discoveries, defantly challenged those
"who had whispered abroad objections to the
theory of the antiquity of man, to come for.
ward and state them now" To strengthen
Lyell's position, these recent discoveries are
only additional to others quite as remarkable
and convincing which Mr.. Wyatt, of the As
ISOLATION, summed up as numerous proofs Of
the coexistence of man with the great extinct
animals. IN y World

Golden Extract.

The pillars by which all grand edifccs are
supported remind US, Of the stability of the
Great Author Of all things; vaulted roof, tho
universally of his providences the square,
without which the building could not be duly
formed, is characteristic Of the symmetry
which pervades His works, and also of his
justice and equity towards US, which we are
ever to initiate with respect to each other;
the compass is necessary to avoid erring from
the prescribed line, which he has so undevi-
atingly observed, and by which we must regu.
late our actions, nor ever allowing ourselves
| Intentionally to transgress the excellent laws
| that He has given us for our government
The level evinces the equal regard He has had
| to the happiness of mankind, and enioins
our kind and afectionate treatment of each
other, without preference to any, merely on
account of their external rank, attending
alike to the just claims Of all according to
their ability. The white aprons and gloves
we wear are symbolical of the innocent lives
we make profession of, on our initiation and
our professions are public avowal Of the
harmony and fraternal affection by which we
are united In short, the whole Of our pro-
ceedings, from the foundation stone to the
completion of the fabric-every implement
employed in erecting it, and every part of the
edi6ce when constructed, serve as mementos,
to keep alive in our remembrance the stupen-
dous work of nature and their Supreme Au-
thor; the relation we bear to Him; the reve-
lations Of His will, by which He has so con-
descendingly made Himself known to US;
the obligations we are under to love one
another as the children Of the same common
Father; and the imperious necessity of our
obeyipg, reyerencing and adoring Him, if VIC
have any regard to the favor Of our Supreme
Judge, whose unerring wisdom cannot per-
NIT the guilty to escape condemnation.-Re-

but they never go on fifty dollar bets Fe-
males never spend whole weeks wages on
billiard tables. Girls never kick up row,
and get dragged to the station house. Fast
horses they avoid, and roulette tables and
game cocks. Who ever saw female hang
ing round gambling table, Or betting her
last FIVE dollars that she can tell where the
little joker is? Who ever saw female
clerk, after the store was shut, rambling up
Broadway, raising thunder and breaking
things? Who ever saw respectable girl
knocking over dry goods boxes and standing
M. P.'s' on their heads? No one; and yet
respectable young men do these things night
ly. When was female clerk ever arrested
for having suspicious character locked up
in the store with her after midnight? In
view Of all these facts, is it any wonder that
the merchants on this side run to female
clerks 2"

Gus love story is told by severalsof the an
Gent writer's respecting Edward, secretary
to Charlemange, and daughter of that en-
peror. The secretary fell IN love with the
princess, who at length allowed him to visit
her One winters night he stayed with her
very late, and in the meantime deep snow
had fallen. IF he left, his foot marks would
be observed, and yet to stay would expose him
to danger. At length the princess resolved
to carry him on her back to neighboring
house, which she did. It happened, however,
that from the window Of his bedroom the
emperor saw the whole affair.
In the assembly Of his lords on the follow
ing day, when Edward and his daughter we're
presented, he asked what ought to be done to
the man who compelled the kings daughter
to carry him on her shoulders, through frost
and snow, in the middle Of winters night !?
The lovers were alarmed, but the emperor, ad-
dressing Egivard, said: Had st thou loved
my daughter thou shouldst have come to me;
thou art worthy Of death, but give thee
two lives. Take thy fair porter in marriage,
fear God, and love one another"

BEHAVIOR IN CoMpANY.-On the subject
of behavior in company Leigh Richmond
gives the following excellent advice to his
daughters:
ssBe cheerful, but not gigglers. Be serious,
but not dull BE communicative, but not
forward BE kind, but not servile Beware
of silly, thoughtlcss speeches; although you
may forget them, others will not. Remem-
Der Gods eye is in every face, and his ear in
every company Beware Of levity and famili-
arity with young men; modest reserve with
out afectation, is the only safe path. Court
and encourage serious conversation with those
who are truly serious and conversable; do
not go into valuable company without endeav-
oring to improve by the intercourse permitted
to you. Nothing is more unbecoming, when
one part of company is engaged in profta-
bic conversation, than that another part should
be trifing, gigglng, and talking comparative
nonsense to each other"
