THE ACES OF THE WORLD. The progress
of the earth's history is thus summed up by
geologists
There was first an age, or division of time,
when there was no life the globe or, if
any existed, this was true only in the latter
part of the age, and the life was probably of
the very simplest kinds.
There was next an age when shells or mol
lusks corals, crinuds and trilObites abounded
in the oceans when the continents were
almost all beneath the salt waters, and when
there was so far as has been ascertained, no
terrestrial life.
There was next an age when, besides
shells, corals, crinoids, trilobites and worms,
there were fishes in the waters. and when
the lands, though yet small, began to be
covered with vegetation.
There was next an age when the continents
were at many successive times, largely dry
or marshy land, and the land was densely
overgrown with trees, shrubs and smaller
plants, of the remains of which plants, the
great coal beds were made. In animal life
there were, besides the kinds already men.
toned, various amphibians, and some other
reptiles of inferior tribes.
There was next an age when reptiles were
exceedingly abundant, far outnumbering and
and even in rank, those of the present day.
There was next an age when reptiles had
dwindled, and animals or quadrupeds were
in great numbers over the continents; and
the size of these quadrupeds, like that of
the reptiles in the preceding age. far
greater than the size of the modern species.
After this came man and the progress of
life here ended. d
The above mentioned ages in the progress
of life and earth's history, have received the
following names:
|. Azoc Time or age.-The name is from
the Greek, a, not, or uithout. and zoe, life
,. Age Of Mollusks, or the Silurian Age.
B. Age of Fishes. or the Devonian Age.
t. Age of Coal plants, or the Carbonifer
Gus Age.
5. Age of Reptiles, or the Reptilian Age
6. Age Of Mammals, or the Mammalian
Age.
I. Age of Man.

Too OLD TO BE THRILLED WITH-An old

one dav at mess after the decanter had

the mess, and almost choking with rage, the
doctor sprang to his feet, exelaiming:

sembly Of some hundreds of East India
Princes. with their attendants-a wond rfu
and gorgeous Oriental spectacle. second only
to the great feast held in Babylon, when IA
Thousand Princes came TO do honor to their
sovereign. Here the defendants of the
rulers of two hundred millions of people be
longing to the oldest and richest nations Of
the world. came together to profess their
LOYALTY to Sir John Lawrence. the represen-
tative of Queen Victoria. - The pageant" 3"
we are told. WAS of Oriental brilliance-a
great scene of harbaric cbivalry-elephants
and horses, chariots and banners, gorgeous
dresses. and the glitter of arps. But con.
spicuuus in the swarthy procession, marched
a plain body of British troops, followed by a
battery Of Armstrong guns. emblem of the
new empire which has been created /; and
the central personage-the recipient Of all
the homage-was a simple English gentle
man, who is not even a noble.
81 1t cannot be without a sensation of pride
that an Englishman imagines for him elf
this purple and gold spectacle. this enthron-
ment of English power amid Oriental pomp,
this picture of our countryman distributing
the rewards of loyalty to hundred subject
Princes, who are eager to obtain the star of
an English order. They are all our subjects
or feudatories we assign them their relative
ranks they enjoy their honors in depend
ence upon our pleasure; we are the masters
of them and India. All that spreading region
of grandeur, hoary with tradition, sacred to
the oldest memory Of man, colored hy long

of ruin, deep with the dust of an awful his
20 tory. solemn in its vaStness, its secrets of an
utterly hidden past, its traces of mighty
changes and conquests, its wonderful glory
and wonderful shame, its entertainments of
beauty its monuments of art, and grace,
and genius, and luxury, has been practically
subdued to our sway. Princes make their
reverence to the Niceroy, who count their
tenants and their revenues alike by millions. y

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus worn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary Some of the selfstyled doctors,
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other

at their trades. Some are tinsmiths, shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 aud 1863 The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will

WHAT FASHION DoEs.-Fashion
rules the world, and most tyrannical
mistress she is-compelling people to
submit to the most announcement things
imaginable, for her sake. She pinches
feet with tight shoes, or chokes Us with
tight neckerchiefs, or squeezes the
breath out of our bodies by tight lacing.
She makes people sit up by night,
when they ought to be in bed; and
keeps them in bed in the morning
when they ought to be up and doing.
She causes hosts of apparently sensi-
BILE persons in other respects to pay
ex orbitant prices for the privilege OF
seeing some foreign operatic or drama
tic performers, puffed into notoriety by
hired nwspaper writer's. and to call the
exhibition splendid" when they don't
understands word that is said, or enjoy
the thing as we'll as an ordinary min
strel show.
She makes it vulgar to wait upon
ones self, and genteel to live idle and
useless.
She requires people to visit when
they had rather stay at home, eat when
they are not hungry, and drink when
they are not thirsty.
She invades our pleasure and inter
rupts our business.
She compels people to dress gaily,
whether upon their own property or
that of another, whether agreeable to
the word of God or the dictates of
pride.
She ruins health, and produces sick
ness destroys life, and occasions prem
ature death. ..
She makes tools of parents, invalids
of children, and servants of all.
She is despot of the highest grade,
full of intrigue and cunning, and yet
husbands, wives, fathers, mothers,
sons, daughters and servants, black and
white, have voluntarily become her
obedient subjects and slaves, and vie
with one another to see who shall be
most ob3equiOus.

THE LAUGH OF A WOMAN.-A wo-
man has no natural gift more bewitch-
ing than a sweet laugh. 1t is like the
sound of flutes on the water. 1t leaps
from her in clt ar sparkling rill; and
the heart that hears it feels as if bathed
in a cool exhilarating spring. Have
you ever pursued an unseen fugitive
through trees, led on by fairy laugh
now here, now there, now lost, now
found? We have; and we are pursuing
that voice to this day. Some times it
will come to US in the midst of care and
sorrow, or irksome business, and we
turn away and listen and hear it ringing
through the room like silver bell,
with power to scare awaythe evil spirits
of the mind. How much we owe that
sweet laugh! 1t turns the prose to poet
ry; it filings flowers of sunshine over
the darkness of the wood in which we
are travelling; it touches with light ev-
en- our sleep, which is no more the i'm
age of death, but is consumed with
dreams that are the shadow of immor-
tality.

GRAFTING.-As the season of graft
ing fruit trees is at hand, the following
advice from the Germantown Iele-
graph, good authority in such matters,
will be of use in the business Graft
ing is very easy operation when once
understood. A sharp penknife and
good fine saw are indispensable. Split
ting the stock so that the bark shall
not be bruised-and shaping the scion
wedge fashion both ways, preserving
also the bark uninjured-and placing the
rim of aCood of both stock and scion
exactly together, so that the sap can
intermingle-there is no danger of fail
ure if properly waxed. We make
shoulder to the graft and think it adds
to the certainty of success, though pro-
bably it weakens it. We prefer two
eyes or buds to agraft, and would rath-
er have one than more than two. One
years wood should always be used
when it can be obtained, as it is more
certain to take, and grows more vigor-
ously. We remind those about prepar-
ing grating wax, that we have found
four parts of rosin, one part of beeswax,
and one part of beef tallow, to be the
best proportion. Melt them together
in kettle, (which is the best,) or tin
cup, and mix we'll. 1t should remain
i'm the vessel and be used as needed.
Twenty or thirty scions can be waxed
with one heating up. When much
grating is to be done, a little fire for
heating the wax, should be made on the
spot, between two bricks or stones. We
have seen various preparations for max
ing grating wax, and we believe we
have tried them all, but prefer our
own. Applying warm or hot does
no injury to the graft. The object to
attain in the proposition, is, that the
wax will not crack in cold dry wealth
err, or run in warm weather. April is
the best time to graft.
