attitude in our relations with foreign nations
as the most certain warranty Of peace. But
they would rejoice to hear that Phil Sheridan $
troopers were sweeping along the line of the
Rio Grande for the protection Of our border,
or were on their way to the City of Mexico as
an army of occupation to aid the people in
establishing stable government in accord
ance with the will of the majority. They are
tired of the Cuban question, and would be
gratifed to learn that our government was
prepared to take a position that would be
likely to help its settlement. Mexico and
Cuba are our neighbors, and we are inter-
ested in seeing peace established in their bor-
ders and law and order maintained among
their people. The barbarities in Cuba belong
to the Middle Ages and are scandal to civil
ization. If the revolution is a failure
and the Cuban Junta fraud, let
them be so pronounced; but If the
struggling islanders, by their perseverance,
their courage and their protracted resistance
to Spanish authority have won the title of
belligerents, then our citizens would warmly
approve the recognition of their rights by our
| government and the extension of all the ad-
vantages accruing therefrom to the revolu-
tionists. The resignation Of Secretary Fish
at this time would do much to render this
change in the tone of our foreign policy prac-
tcable, and the settlement of tho Alabama
claims and of tho Northwestern boundary

Build your own monument. Not of
granite nor MARBLE. These will crumble to
dust. Not of bronze or brass. These time
will corrode and destroy. Build of i'm
perishable material a monument which
shall outlast time, whose inscription shall
grow brighter and clearer as eternal ages
roll on. Build it not in the cemetery or
graveyard, where mourners go to weep
over the loved and the lost. Build it, ra-
Their, where tears do not fall; where joy
and rejoicing shall swell the hearts Of all
who behold it. Would you build such q
monument Then let true wisdom preside
over it's erection, and brotherly love prompt
to quick action. Use your best endeavors
to bless them with acts of kindness, and
looks of love, and words of wisdom. Labor
in the cause of humanity and virtue. Do
the greatest possible good to the greatest
number in the least time, and you will thus
erect in the hearts of others a monument
which the storms of time can never de-
stroy: The inscription written upon it
will be handed down from generation to
generation, and will be clear and bright as
long as men shall live on earth; and from
earth it will be transferred by them to
heaven, where, in transparent lines, your
good deeds will shine in characters of
living light throughout eternal ages.

w. NJ. Carlton rhymes as follows about a
farmer who took a boy to a printing Office
to "make an editor outen o. him.: "The
editor sat in his sanetum and looked the
old man in the eye; then glanced at the
grinning young hopeful, and mournfully
made this reply: is your son a small, un
bound edition of Moses and Solomon both
Can he compass his spirit with meekness,
and strangle natural oath 7 Can he leave
all his wrongs to the future and carry his
heart in his cheek7 Can he do an hours
work in a minute, and live on q sixpence

and browbeat an impudent duncef Can
he keep things in apple-pie order, and do
half a dozen at oncef Can he press all the
springs of knowledge with quick andreli
able touch7 And be sure that he knows
how much to know, and knows how to not

we can make an editor outen o. him. The
farmer stood curiously listening, while
wonder his vision overspread, and he said,

The value of vaccination as q preventive
of small pox, though questioned by many,
seems attested 10y statistics. When small
pox was raging as an epidemic in London
in 1868, observations were made by the
ply sicians upon 10000 children belonging
to national and parochial schools, work
houses, etc. Some of the children had
never been vaccinated the great majority
had in various ways and degrees. Ofevery
1000 children without any marks>of vacci-
nation, 900 had marks of small pox. While
of every 1000 children who had evidence
of vaccination only us had any trace of
the disease. In regard to the amount of
vaccination, it was found that of children
having four or more cicatrices only o. CO
per thousand were SCARED by the small
box. So the best vaccination proved
thirty fold more protective than the worst,
and the worst was twenty-seven times bet
ter than none at all.
The study of 5000 cases of small pox
at the London hospital shows that tile I'M
vaccinated died at the rate of 81 pehcent.,
and the vaccinated at the rate of only 63
per cent. the mortally among those with
four scars being only O55, while that
among those with only single scar was
$50. A comparison of the statistics indi
cate that we'll vaccinated person runs only
one seventh the risk which is taken by those
who refuse to avail themselves of vaccina
tiOns.

THE USE OF SroRMs.-The widest
storms of winter do great good by thor
oughly removing any noxious gases that
may Turk about our great cities, and carry
ing them out to the deep, there to "suffer
II sea change" and replacing them with a
purer air. Air and ocean are the two
great physical purifiers of the world. So,
while we !asten our garments more tightly
round us, and hurry along in the pelting
shower flung at us by boisterous wind,
let us think of the health giving oxygen
that comes on the tempest; and while en-
Joying the shelter of our roof, think of the
good work going on above us In tho sky,
alike whether we wake or sleep. We love
to thlnk OF the mighty operations of the
hand of God going on ceaselessly for the
good of man and the mass of living things
on earth, when we are passive and power
less; and this wind movement is one of
these.-Dublin University Mdga-ine.

Probably the swiftest locomotion possible
to man without too much risk to life is that
achieved by what arc termed "ice- boats.''
On the Hudson river, near Poughkeepsie,
the other day, one of these boats, the river
being frozen oversto the depth of several
inches. sailed for distance of eight miles.
This distance was made in the extraordin-
airy time of eight minutes. The wind was
blowing a gale and the boat carried full
sail. To say that it went with the swiftness
of the wind would fail to express it's rate of
speed. Tie men on board-five in num Der
could hardly see, owing to their rapid
motion their eyes were greatly affected
and water freely flowed from them. Like
the traditional Butchman with the cork
leg, no sooner did the Whiz"-the appro-
pirate name of the boat-make her appear
ance at q given point than, like flash, the
astonished observers on shore in few Sec
onds time saw her speeding half mile
away. What is curious, too, about these
boats ia that they tack aud stand off and on
rs readily as vessel sailing upon the
water. Were such thing possible as the
freeing over of the Atlantic Ocean, one
might reach Europe in one of these vessels,
the wind fayoring, in something more than
n day and night. A curious subject for
reflection in q consideration of human pos
sbilites

MANS FRIENDs.--Man has three kinds of
friends on earth; but, tor the most part, he
does not know them well till the time when
he is called from this world in order to give
account of his conduct. The first of these
friends, wealth and possessions, remain be-
hind the second, his relations, accompany
him only to the grave; the third, his work
of faith and labor of love, follow him into
eternity, even to the throne of God, where
they VIII be recompensed, each according
to His works, and even the cup of cold water
which is given to one who thrsts will not
be unrewarded. How thoughtlessly, then,
does the man act who does not concern
himself in the least degree about such true
fripniAi

IMMENSELY OF CREATIoN.-Somea strono-
mers have computed that there are no less
than *, OOO, 600 suns in the universe. The
fixed stars are all suns, and have, like our
sun, numerous planets revolving around
them. The solar system, or that to which
we belong, has about thirty planets, pri-
mary. and secondary, belonging to it. The
circular field of space which it occupies is
ia diameter 5000, 600 900 of miles and that
which, it controls is greater. That sun
whish is nearest neighbor to ours is called
Sirius, distant from our sun % ,O0O, 900 900
Of miles. Now, if all the fixed ssars are Ms
distant from each other as Sirius is from
our, sun, and if the solar system be the
average magnitude of all the systems of
rs, OO0, OUO Of suns, what imagination can
grasp the immensity of creation.
NEvery cum of the 75,000,900 controls q
field of space of about 10, 100000 Of miles
IA diameter. Who can survey plantation
of as, 600 900 circular fields, each of them
&c, OO0, 600 miles in diameter7 Such, how
ever, is one of the plantations of Him who
has measured the water in the hollow of
His hand, and meted our heaven with n
span, and comprehended the dust of the
earth in measure, weighed the noun
tains in scales, and the hills in a balance ;
Him who, sitting upon the orbit of the
earth, stretches out the heavens as cur
tain and spreadeth them out as n tent to
dwell in.

LFTTKR FROM HouAA.
HouMA, La, Jan. "a, 1872


Editor Morning Star
have, like your learned correspondent
Of Shreveport, failed to furnish you with
INV m opthly letter, owing to divers occupa-
tiops which have demanded my attention
mn to the present, and which will also
cause this letter to be short. Wishing the
many readers of the STAR most happy
new year, I purpose to contribute with
more regularity in futures" though, as
Aloysius says, the many beautiful, spirlf- .
ed and able articles from the eagle pen OF
Rev. Father Ryan, the loved Laureate bard
of our Sunny South, have left no room nor
repinipss for epistolary matter.
It is with q sense Of both pleasure and
qualification that we are able to announce
to our many city friends the completion OF
Morgau,s "Houma Branch Road;" line
extending from Terrebonne Station to
Houma, a distance of fourteen miles. "A
wharf has been built, and magnificent
depot is in course of erection. This is, in
deed. a great amelioration- to our little
town; particularly at present, that our
roads are wholly impossible, and our
bayous unnavigable. Those who have
visited us prior to this new improvement
must remember the uncomfortable ride and
the exhorbitant price they paid to reach
our little town from Terrebonne Station
by the Houma Stage"
I will conclude by hoping that our friends
in the city, and travellers in general, will
avail themselves of our increased travelling
facilities to visit our little town and the
beautiful, fertile and well-cultivated lands
it. More anon. C. L.

Professor Cunning. during q recent course of
Geological lectures, spoke as follows about Nj
sgsrs sAlls and iis history -
neot point and looked searchingly At the Amer
Ioan falls. Within few days he had stood there
Sgain. but what he saw did not answer 10 the
image his mind had carried for ten years. Tbs
rim of the precipice ID more indented- Here and
there mass OF rock has fallen, leaving notch,
the beginnings Of little horseshoe. The great
Horseshoe itself had changed. At the point of
deepest water and deepest green the curve is
dseply notched. ANY observer whose knowl.
adQs Of the falls covers only few years will
ses that they are reoeding.
The recession has bebn very slow, the speaker
thought not more than six inches year At
the present rate of recession II would have taken
7bO years to out the channel from Lewiston
10 the present site Of the Horseshoe Tho speak
sr drew q section Of the river bank from Lbwis-
tom upwards, and showed that seven groups Of
strata come to the surface between Lewiston
and the falls. The rate Of recession would de-
mend on the character of the rock at the base OF
he falls. At the whirlpool very hard, Ainty
sandstone appears on the water's edge Through
thjs the fall would cut It's way slowly. Here for
ages the cataract was almost stationary.
Above the new suspension bridge the Clinton
group dips to the waters edge These rocks are
Compact, and hera the falls made another halt
Seventy thousand years are not enough. We
san only approximate, but perhaps 150, 900 would
be closer approximation 70 the age Of the chan
mel than 6o,UOO years
This is not all. We find an old river bed, dll-
cd with drift, between the whirlpool and st.
Dayid's. The fall began not At Lewiston, but
81. Dayid's. Perhaps 200, 900 years for the en-
tire history of the fall would not be above the
demand. We think of this as long, aud the
wonder IL that the falls are so old. But he who
looks with geologic eye thinks Of the time as
short, and his wonder is that the falls are so
young. The upper lakes are old. Geologically,
the lake era Is very old. It was dry land long
before the Allegheny Mountains were lifted up
The river which drains II should be old And
yet tho Niagara, perhaps, is only 2O0, 600 years
old Now shall we account for the drainage of
the lakes through 80 many millions OF years not
registered In the channels OF Niagara
The speaker drew section Of the upper lakes,
and showed that the Niagra river at the head OF
the rapids Is only thirty feet higher than the
face OF Lake Michigan. barrier more than
thirty feet high, across the Niagra plateau would
throw the waters OF Lake Erie back on Lake
Michigan, and the drainage would be through
the Mississippi to the Gulf Of Mexico.
