Valenta the road would lie down hill for about 3o(
miles, to the point at which the bottom is nov

would come the .eentrd plain, more than: Eo@
miles wide, the inequalities Of the surface of which
would be hardly peroeptible, though the depth o.
the water uponit varies, from les0O0 to $4,000
feet, and there are places in which Mount Blanc
might be sunk without showing its peak above
water. Beyond this, the ascent on the American
s;le commences, aud gradually leads, orsabou'
300 miles, to the Newfoundland shore.
Almost the whole bottom of this central plain
(which extends for many hundred miles in North
and South direction) is covered by fine mud,
which, when brought to the surface dries into
grayish white friable substance. You can write
with this on blackboard, if you are so inclined
and to the eye it is quite Ike very soft grayish
chalk. Examined chemically, it proved 10 be com.
posed almost wholly Of carbonate Of lime; and j
you make a section of it in the same way as that

A WOMAN CONFINED TO BIER BED FOB THR-
TY-SK YEARs.-Our obituary columns yesterday
contained notice of the death of Miss Sarah T.
Lowell, at the age Of sixty-seven years. Her case
is one for which parallel can hardly be found in
the whole country, for long and lingering sickness.
For forty years she has been out Of health and for
thirty-six bed.ridden. A friend informs US that
thirty-sx years ago she called to see her, and she
was confined to her bed, 10 all appearances in the
last stages Of consumption, and apparently with
but few weeks, at most to live. Yet she has
been lingering on, and what is most remarkable,
has bee9 afflicted With almost every disease. conta-
geous or epidemic, with which our city has been
afflicted. During the prevalence Of the cholera,
she was one of its Subjects but while others, hear

GREY HAIRS.


How we'll + love those whitening locks
Which crown my father dear!
see them turning greSer still
With every passing year;
They tell Of trials, tolls and cares
That none of us have proyed;.
They speak of years Of anxious hopes
And tears for those he loved.
May these last days be far the best,
Till Jesus calls, "Come home to rest"
We sang of golden locks, tits true. .-
OF tresses auburn, black, and brown;
Inspired with reverence and love,
We honor most ages silvery crown.
"God bless thee, father" is my prayer,
"And spare thee many years;
Thy pleasant face, thy cheerful voice,
Thy child's heart ever cheers;
For, oh! far distant be the day
When from our sight they'll pass away.
Three score and ten the years draw nigh!
Long, nobly hast thou striven,
By precepts and examples blest,
To guide us on to heaven. --. e..
Long will thy. loving voice be heard
When thou hast passed away;
Thy admonition melt our hearts
Which now seem cold as clay;
May each soul provea a brilliant gem
T. adorn the heavenly diadem.
NV mother, too, may blessings rest
Upon thy precious head
Old Time has gallant been to thee,
For here and there thread
Of silver in thy silken hair
He only dares to place,
And lightly has he left his lines
Upon thy still fair face: -- -,
And it is right it should be thus, :.
Though fair 'twould ever beto us.

How oft have we been taught,
Would bless us withhis priceless love,
If but the boon we sought,
Couldst thou his rich reward receive

All things are possible with Thee. =.

AGONIES OF AN ANGLER.
BY JOHN QUILL

This thing of going fishing and calling it sport
is ridiculous. Old Izaac Walton was deeeiver,
and his "Complete Angler is calculated to per
vert public morals, and lead the uDsuspectng
astray In my opinion it's an overrated book, and
ought to be suppressed. 1t encourages the idea
that fishing is genteel pastime, which affords
time for meditation, and cultivates a love for the
beautiful in nature.
That this is all nonsense, every man knows who
ever went fishing in his life. I leave it to the
sufferers if it isn't.
Don't you know that you 60 out and nearly burst
a blood vessel digging worms for bait and then
you have to dig hole as big as rife-pit before
you can lay your hands on single solitary worm
Then when you get to the water, you very likely
sit down on some blackberry bush or other and
undergo nearly as much physical suffering as you
do when you stick the fish hook into your cuticle
when you are trying to put the bait on.
When you once throw in you begin to watch the
cork, and you look at it hour after hour, until you
nearly go blind, and you think you see about TWEEN
ty corks, and as it never budges one inch all the
time, you conclude that there amt any fish about
until you pull up, when you find that some well
balanced and insidious member of the fnny tribe
has sucked your bait of.
After enough patient endurance to start eight OF
nine Christian martyrs into life, you get nibble
Yes, the cork moves slightly, and you think you
are at last going to get fish.
You watch it closely, while your mind runs ovel
the big fish you have heard Of: You think Of Jo
nah, of whaling voyages and of the surgeons you
have seen around on the waves.
Perhaps this is one of large size, and you wonder
if you hadn't better 60 home and get dray tt
fetch it.
Suppose you were to catch the sea serpent or s
thousand pound snapper? and you involuntaril,
suggest soup to yourself, while all the time the
cork keeps bobbing up and down, until at last she
gives one jerk and goes under. Got him, by jing
Pull up, and there's wretched little fish on the
hook, that wouldn't satisfy the appetite Of sicl
sardine, and he cost you just fourteen worms
enough to bait school of mackerel
Throw in again, wait for an hour, and you dom
get single nibble.
Then you think you are safe to let 60 and ligh
your pipe. No sooner do you get the match lit
and you can't throw it down because it's the las
one you We got, than you get splendid bite the
cork goes clear out of sight, and before you have
chance to pick up the rod the fish gets of.
Any man who says this isn't aggravating ough
to die; he isn't fit to associate with ordinary hu
! man beings.

The AIRLINE RAlRoAD.-We learn that our
Gtv Council has decided to subscribe one hundred
thousand dollars towards the Airline Railroad,
provided the line runs through the city Of Green
Vile. This is the utmost limit Of the power con-
fered by their charter Liberal subscriptions are
also being made on the part ofseveral of the citi
zens, and vigorous efforts are otherwise being used
for securing the accomplishment Of the object.
The committee of sixteen were to hold meeting
last night in reference to the matter, but we have
not heard the result Of their deliberations. We
have reason for believing that the private subscrp-
tions will amount to one hundred thousand dollars
thus making subscription Of two hundred thou
sand dollars from this community; all Of which
win be returned manifold, should the desired OBJ
ject be attained.-Greenr1e Mouataiuer.

A TRUTH FOR HISTORY.

At the dedication of monument erected in
memory of the Confederate dead, Gen, Breckin.
ridge, of Kentucky, lately delivered very eloquent
address, from which the following passage is wor-
thy of being preserved, not only in memory Of the
Confederate dead, but ''hu pepetlana men,oriam"
of the dead Confederacy:
The contest was most unequal oRs-the South
fought at every disadvantage With white pop
ulation of less than Eve millions and half; with
an arms bearing population Of less than nine hun
dred thousand; Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and Virginia divided without ship
or navy yard; With but few gums and they Of in
ferior quality, and not a manafactory where any
part of a gun or any part Of its ammaaition could
be made; without money or organized credit; cut
off from all the world, IN whose market she was
not allowed to purchase even the medicine for the
sick; isolated from all mankind, and even thrust
outfr all sympathy, encompassed with vastly
outnumbering foes, whose armies, daily recruited
from every nation under the sun, were supplied
with every appliance Of warfare and every 'ssible
comfort, as well as necessares; every harbt. closed
by watching war vessels and every stream occupied
by hostile gunboats; her soldiers hungry, ragged
and barefooted, she yet fought with such trench
dous power, and was welded With such skilh that
the expenditure Of money to conquer her wasrnore
than would have purchased every foot Of her land,
every house in her cities and villages, every slave
on her plantations, and all her property of every
kind; and the killed and permanently disabled of
her enemies amounted to more than her entire ar
mics during the whole struggle. Youmay search
history in vain for parallel
