A RACE ANTERIOR TO Our Own
The late Sir David Brewster, in his
very interesting work entitled More
Worlds than One" in discussing the
geological condition OF the earth, in
quires, "But, who can tell what sleeps
beyond ?" If we have followed the
omnipotent arm into the infnity of
space, may we not trace it under our
feet in remoter times, and in deeper
cemeteries ? Another creation may
lie beneath the earth's granite pave
ment-more glorious creatures may
be enlomed there. The mortal coils
of beings more lovely, more pure,
more divine, than man, may yet read
to as the humbling lesson that we
have not been the first, aud may not
tie the last of an intellectual race.

the u ain Eoated to the right and the lower ID the
left, forming letter y, which gradually elongated
until 1t assumed an entirely horizontal Drln,
and 1t was still family visible when the
clock struck two. The cloudy train was
twenty miles long at that time. As usual the
upper and lower parts OF the trains curved so as 10
look like the letter 5. la some instances, three,

seven minutes past five there was bright star went

looked exceedingly brilliant. The whole train was
nearly forty degrees long,"
The night was beautifully clear and still, making
the occasion one OF the most admirable for taking
observations
The meteor which Professor Newton saw at nifty
seven minutes past four A. NJ, Professor Twinng,
or Yale College, saw in New York, and by compari-
son OF the two observations Professor Newton cacu-
ates that this meteor fell from height OF eighty
