THE BASIN OF THE ATLANTIC
OCEAN.-The basin of the Atlantic
Ocean is a long trough, separating
the Old World from the New, and ex-
tending probably from pole to pole.
This ocean furrow was probably scored
into the solid crust of our planet by the
Almighty hand, that there the water
which he called seas might be gathered
together, so as to let the dry land appear
and fit the earth for the habitation of
man. From the top of Chimborazo to
the bottom of the Atlantic at the deep
est place yet reached by the plummet in
the northern Atlantic, the distance in a
vertical line is ten miles. Could the
waters of the Atlantic be drawn off, so
as to expose to view this great cash,
which separates continents and extends
ftom the Artic to the Antarctic, it
would present scene most rugged,
grand and imposing. The very ribs of
the solid earth, with the foundation Of
the sea, would be brought to light, and
we should have presented to US at one
view, in the empty cradle of the ocean,
a thousand fearful wrecks, with that
fearful array of dead mems skulls, great
anchors, heads of pearls, and inestim-
able stones, which, in the poets eye,
lie scattered in the bottom of the sea,
making it hideous with sights of ugly
death. The deepest part of the North
Atlantic is Somewhere between the
Bermudas and the Grand Banks. The
waters of the Gulf of Mexico are held
in basin, about mile deep in the
deepest part. There is at the bottom Of
the sea, between Cape Clear and ireland
remarkable steppe, which is already
known as the telegraph plateau.
GIVING THE DEVIL HIS DUE.-Thert
is point to the following anecdote A
person was making call upon an old
lady, who made it habitual rule never
to speak i'll of another, and had observed
it SO closely that she always justified
those whom she had heard evil spoken
of. Before the old lady made her appear.
ance in the parlor, her several children
were speaking of this popularity of theil
mother and one of them playfully added
"Mother has such a habit of speaking
we'll of everybody, that do believe il
Satan himself were the subject of con
versation, mother would find out some
good quality even in him." Of course
this remark elicited some smiling and
merriment, at the originality of the idea
in the midst of which the old lady en-
tered the room, and on being tolc
what had just been said, she immediate
ly and involuutarily replied: "Well
my children I wish we had satan's in
dustry and perseverance,"

CALAVERAS CHRONICLE.
SATURDAY, -: FEBRUARY 20, 1868.
aHE oUTcAsr.

Her sympathies are yours and mine,
Her heart is full of human love,
Her tastes, in spite of tinsel shine,
Do naught against her nature prove;
Not less her pity is than ours,
Nor are her joys an idle jest;
Sharp are the thorns beneath the flower,
She clasps unto her woman's breast.
She came into her life of blame,
Like US, in helplessness of grace;
Unconsciously received her name,
Unconsciously received her place;
Blessed with maternal care, or cursed
With poverty's neglect, she rose
Through years gradation. and rehearsed
Her future of allotted woes.
1t was not if she could or would;
She took her fate, liz US, on trust;
Her follies are no natural mood.
Nor does she choose for jewels, dust;
For had she chosen, well we know.
Her life had been our counterpart,
With more, perhaps, than we bestow
In sympathies of mind and heart.
The glances of her evil eyes
On US pass judgment none the less
Than we, who talk in sanity guise,
Condemning what we only guess.
Where we discern gulf between,
She sees simple line of chance.
And holds that we like her had been,
But for the chain of circumstance.
The stars that guard the lovers talk
Are not more chaste with holy light,
Than when they guide her wayward walk
Through the waste places of the night ;
And she and we beneath their rays
Reason the same. or reason not,
And misinterpret others ways
To make our own the happier lot.
And which of US the saints shall say
She's wholly wrong nor partly right;
Or who, beneath that painted clay,
Pronunce there is no blameless white !.
Then cast not at her stones of pride,
Low STOPPING from our hight above;
But, moving humbly at her side,
Lift up her life with saving love.

Medical Advice to Females.

When a female is in trouble or afflicted with dis

isfactorily answered, the afflicted should pause be-
fore consulting any one. The Doctor has been
