Vast Fields Of Diamonds,


20 The Dean Of Grahams,own,o Q writing

exchanges. gives the subioined account of
the great diamond fields lately! discover

seems practically as yet no limit'to the
extent of room. Al the information, so
far, leads 10 the conclusion that there is
quite as ample room for 100000" We

found gems glittering on the very SURFACE
within three days hard riding ofIene an
other, not to mention the-large supplies
found in clay and gravel deposits turned
up by the pick. a foot or two below the
ground, after a few days of 1nnskilled
search-is in every sense of the word. a
diamond field or diamond country--not a
diamond mine. The mine as yet, if there

the precious gems are---on the surface
and close to the surface, spread over al
area of hundreds ofgsquare, miles that
were uninhabited and unnoticed until
within the last two months. There the
precious gems are yunearthedu now and

THE SUNBEAM.

The greatest OF, physical paradoxes is
the sunbeam 1t is theimo potent and
versatile force We have. and yet it be
hsyes itself ike the gentlest and most
accommodating. Nothing can fall more
softly and more silently upon the earth
tian the rays of our great luniinary-
not even the feathery, fakes of snow
which thread their way through the at
mosphere as if they were too fi!my to
yield to the demands of gravity Ike
grosser things. The most delicate ship
Of gold leaf, exposed as a target to the
SUMS shafts, is not stirred to tie extent
of a ha ir, though an infant faintest breath
would set it into tremnlous motion
The tenderest of human organs, the ap-
pie of the eye, though pierced and buffet
ed each ,day,by thousands of sunbeams,
suffer no paiu during the process, but re-
ioices in their sweetness, and blesses the,
useful light. Yet few of those rays,
insinuiling themselves into a mass of
iron, like the britannia Tubular Bridge,
will qpmpelrthe closely knit particles to
separ te, and will move the hole enor-
nous fabric with as much ease as a giant
woul d stir a straw. The play of those
beams upon our sheets of water lifts UP
layeI after layer into. the atmosphere,
and hoists whole rivers from their beds
only to drop them again in showers up
on the hills, or in fattening showers upon
the plains. LET but the air drink in a
little more sunshine at one place than an
other, and ont oft springs the tempest or
the hurricane, which desolates whole re-
gion ia its lunatic, wEatlI. The marvel is.
that a power which is capable of assu-
ming such a diversity of forms, and of
prgtiu cling such stupendous results, should
come to US in 30 gentle, so peaceful. and
