We have received the Atlantic Monthly for
Feb, and find this No to we'll sustain the pre-
vious good name of the work, in all those mat
ters pertaining to refined taste, solid learning,
and sound principles of ethics. Indeed, it's

en- of the notables of the country, from II. w.
Lonefellow to Celia Thaxter, ought to be suf-
fcient guarantee Of merit. Among the other
excellent articles Of this No, those with the
most attractive titles are, Cooperative House
keeping, Consumption in America Rtualism
ia England and Birth Of the Solar System.
The last named is an elaborate and learned
essay on the nature and formation Of the solar
system; substituting the nebular doctrine Of
La Place, and of most modern astronomers,
That the earth materials, at first existing in the
gaseous form, were at length condensed, by the
force OF attraction and the loss of heat, into
the solid earth, the novel and ingenious theo.

substances, AS percussion gives it from the
flint and steel; that the earth always has grown
gradually by the accretion of these substances,
and is still growing, as shown by much meteor

rect ratio increasing the earth 5 internal heat ;

order and way of doing things. How far fu-
ture discovery will verify this novel theory,
time alone will determine; yet one great fact
alluded to stands greatly in its favor,-the con-
slant accumulation of the earth's matter from
meteoric sources, many interesting specimens
Of which we have seen hereafter to be describ-
ed in an article in til Sc columns on nleteors.
This article, which bespeaks high intellect
ual culture, will astound the world, we think,
II not for great truths indubitably established,
by the boldneSs with which it strikes into the
o.d theories of coSmical science. We cannot
but think that the nebular theory of creation
as hitherto taught, better than any other, ac-
cords with reason and facts. Yet who, remem-
bering the worlds history, dares say what is
certainly true or false. For along the pathway
of time, alike in the physical and spiritual Gre
alton, how thickly lie stroWn the wrecks Of
once loved theories and doctrines, for which
countless devotees died martyrs, and unbeev-
ers suffered cruciixion, In the distractions
among both material and religious things, it is
written that no one now is endued with power
from on high to say, thus saith the LORD.

A WORD To BOYS. Come, boys. and listen
few moments to your uncle. You have
now arrived at an age when you must begin
to think about doing something for your
selves, The first piece of advice have for
you is, to DO every thing we'll which you
undertake. There is but little danger of
your being too particular in this respect
A boy who is careful to draw straight lue
On his slate, will be very likely to make
straight line through life. There is no po~
sitiOn III life IN which you will not be called
upon to act as exact as possible. Step iuto
the jewelers. shop, and see how careful the
workman must be il finishing up the article
he holds in his hand. Visit the ship-ya-l,
and the man with the broad-ax must iearr
to hew on a line, or be dismissed. You
think of being clerk. Well remember
that {. mistake there is little less than a
crime. [ never saw q man who was very
particular about his affairs that was not sue
cessful. How exact is a military officer in
the command of body of men. A clumsy
sailor will never rise 10 the command Of q
ship.
But there is one great danger which be-
sets many young men at the present day.
1t is the disposition to avoid all solid i'm
provement, and take up with subjects that
require no thought, and which serve as mere
warfare with godjness, and whose portion
will be that Of the ungodly. As the tree fall
eth SO shall it lie. We shall reap what we
have sown.
Let my example warn you Of the fatal
error into which you have talIeu,' said the
gay Sir Francis DeIayaI, lear tie end Of his
life. ''Pursqe what is useful pursue what
is useful Y Reader, if you would not want to
make your life 4 curse, present and eternal,

Geuio c. Scott, who knows thing CT

vention of commissioners in New York:
In conversation with a tew Of the New

welt is said to have inquired of them: You
seem to say great deal about 'p0uRa /,
now, I've often heard Of tun, OF tuuay,
and its great weight and yoracity; but
never before heard so much said about tile
pound what kind of fish is it?
One Of the Commissioners replied lit
is not q fish, but a net )" when another
gentleman present clipped the wink and
added:
1T is for the estraries did you ever eat
one, Mr.. Roosevelt:'
"What?'
"An estuasy?"
Yes, sir, frequently"
"How did you like it,"
st is very good fish I've eatou it
at Delmonico's frequently, but don't think
it equal to the Spanish mackerel, especially
as breakfast fish,
The strangers could suppress a laugh uG
longer, but gave vent to a hearty ha ha
adding you'll do for New York fishery

AN OUTRAGE.-On Saturday morn
ing the Secretary of the Cslored Walker
Club of this city, was accosted by two
League negroes near the market house,
who not only abused him, but forcibly
took from him the clubs roll of mem
bership.
They were arrested and taken before
the Mayor who fined them. and made
them return the roll. He also admon-
ished them as to their future conduct
stating that, in such cases, he would
mete out the law to its fullest extent.
The perpetrators of this outrage, OF
course, call themselves freemen and
glory in the thought, and yet they
would insult and prescribe others Of
their color who are not of the same poll
tical complexion. This, however, is TO
be attributed more to their Ignorance
than anything else. They are them.
