A Continent Covered with
Ice.

Prof. Agassiz comes to the conclu-
sion that the continent of North Amer
lea was once covered with ice mile in
thickness, thereby agreeing with Prof.
Hitchcock and other eminent geolOgi-
cal writers concerning the glacial pc
riod. In proof of this conclusion, he
says that the slopes of the Allegheny
range of mountains are glacier-worn
to the very top, except a few points
which were above the level of the icy
mass. Mount Washington, for instance,
is over six thousand feet high, and the
rough, unpublished surface Of its sum-
init, covered with loose fragments, just
below the level of which glacier-marks
come to an end, tells that it lifted its
head alone above the desolate waste of
ice and snow.
In this region, then, the thickness of
the ice cannot have been much less than
six thousand feet, and this is in keeping
with the same kind of evidence in other
parts of the country; for when the
mountains are much below six thou
sand feet, the ice seems to have passed
directly over them, while the few peaks
rising to that height are left untouched.
The glacier, he argues, was Gods great
plough, and when the ice vanished
from the face of the land, it left it pre-
pared for the hand of the husband
man.
The hard surface of the rocks were
ground to powder, the elements of the
soil were mingled in fair proportions,
granite was carried into lime regions,
lime was mingled with the more arid
and unproductive granite districts, and
soil was prepared fit for the agricul-
tural uses of man. There are evidences
all over the polar regions to show that
at one period the heat of the tropics ex-
tended all over the globe. The ice Pc
riod is supposed to be long subsequent
to this, and next to the last before the
advent of man.

For the REPUBLICAN.
LOVE CANNOT DIE.

Love cannot die, though it long may lie
Dormant in the heart, it doth not die.
Ii alone through years, will not decay,
Though unworthily twas thrown away.
Though we parted, saying we were free,
Yet wholly freed, the heart cannot be.
There are chains, that bind so firm and stron
They will not break, be it ere so long.
Torn apart, may be each chord and tie,
Yet in the depth of the heart, doth lie
That earthly love that we did beStow:
None other like it, the heart will know.
Though thy troth to another, is made
And thy hand IN another's is laid.
Bright and happy, thou seeme>t to be,
Yet thy former love oershadows thee.
In the circle of the young and CAV,
When the laugh on thy lips, dies away,
When joys current iceiy doth How,
To the heart, beating wlld in Its woe. ..
When the eharmer cannot soothe the hear
that
Be he wiser than e'er in his art;
Then, oh ! then to thyself thou whist own
Love like summer bird, hath not flown.
Like the field, wherein our dead are laid.
And their graves are hidden, in the shade
OF the heritage and flowers that bloom,
Sweetly, though they grow upon the toplb.
So with loves tomb, it may be.the same,
On it blooms hope and the wreath of fame;
1t is the hearts garden, titled with care,
Where altloyely things sre gathered there
When reaper's scythes lay the yerdure low,
Then the hidden graves, again, will show,
Whether sunk or moundcd, they are there,
Though above it seemed so wild and fair.
So when the delusion's torn away
Loves strong rs in its youngest day;
When the grave is bare and open laid
Then we weep, as if 'twere newly made.
Yes, we may have thought our love had died,
Wealth and honor had its place supplied,
But Il word, old passions, Will awake,
Yet hearts freshly bleeding, do not break.
Plant the flower, adorn as you will,
Yet the grave is there, forever still;
Cherished hopes, on other hearts rely,
But love, strongest passion, cannot die.

Serving at Table.

The habit that obtains, in many fami-
lies, OF "heaping' food and giving little
and considerable more than is asked for,
has nothing to be said in its favor and a
great deal against. Unless one has a
strong, firm appetite that only an earth
quake or tempest could effect, large
quantity of food is appalling. II is much
pleasanter to send ones plate and have il
replenished. than to be obliged to leave
food upon the plate. In order to clear
the plate one is prone to over eat, from
an idea Of Saving the food Economy
does not signify lack Of plentifulness
nor stinginess. Il means enough for each
and all. nothing wasted, and when food
is served in an overabundance, waste
must be the result. unless, indeed, the
surplus Is gathered together again-the
simole idea of which is disgusting. More
over, il Is a comfort to have just what
one asks for-if"half . cup Of tea, that
much and no more.

| How did people get in the habit o
shaking handss The answer is not fil
to -uck. In early and barbarous times,
when every savage or semisavage was
his own law-giver, judge, soldier and po-
liceman, and had to watch over his own
safety, in default Of all other protection,
two friends or acquaintances, or two
strangers desiring to be friends and ac-
qaintanccs, when they chanced to meet,
offered each to the other the right hand
the hand alike Of offence and defence, the
hand that wields the sword, the dagger,
the club, the tomahawk, or other weapons
of war. Each did this to show that the
haud was empty, and neither war nor
treachery was intended. A man cannot
well stab another while in the act of sha-
king hands with him, unless he be
double-eyed traitor and villain, and strives
to aim cowardly blow with the left
while giving the right, and pretending to
be on good terms with his victim. The
custom of hand-shaking prevails, more
or less, among all civilized nations and is
the tacit avowal of friendship and good
will, just as kiss is Of warmer passion.
Ladies, as every one must have remarked,
seldom or never shake hands with the
cordiality of gentlemen, unless it be with
each other. The reason is obvious. 1t
is for them to receive homage, not to give
it. They cannot be expected to show to
persons of the other sex warmth of
greeting which might be misinterpreted,
unless such persons are very closely re-
lated to them by family or affection in
which cases hand-shaking is not needed,
and the lips do more agreeable duty.

The Great Mystery.

The body is to die. No one who passes
the charmed boundary comes back to tell.
Imagination visits the land of shadows
sent out from some window of the soul
over life's restless waters, but wings its
way wearily back without live leaf in
its beak as a token Of merging life be-
yond the closely blending horizon. The
great sun comes and goes in the heavens
yet breathes no secret of the ETHEREAL viii
derness. The crescent moon cleaves her
nightly passage across the upper deep,
but tosses overheard no signals. The
sentinel stars challenge each other Us they
walk their nightly round, but we catch
no syllable Of their countersign, which
gives passage to the heavenly camp. Be
tween this and the other life there Is
great gulf fixed, across which neither feet
nor eye can travel. The gentle friend
whose eyes were closed in their last long
sleep, long years ago, died with rapture
in her wonderstricken eyes, a smile Of
inefable joy upon her lips, and hands
folded over triumphant heart; but her
lips were passed speech, and intimated
nothing of the vision that enthrolled her.

Southern Mutual Life Company of
Kentucky.

This excellent company, with their
headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky,
advertises in our paper this week. The
question of life insurance has become one
of so much interest, from the fact that so
many companies have recently sprung
into existence, and so many persons are
seeking protection for their families
through them, that it becomes not only
the duty of the press to be careful in its
recommendations, but Of persons who
take out policies to seek all possible in
formation in reference 10 institutions of
this kind that may be candidates for pub
lie favor.

eellent companies were Drought 10 my

Beginning in Life.

Somebody remarks that little fish seem
to have the most sensible ideas of star,
in life they all begin on small seal,
and there il as much truth as wit In
the saying. Begin small. Counties
sermons have alrendy been preached on
that text. but until the practice comes uI
to the preaching there would set"; to be
need of more yet. 1t is not 50 easy for q
young couple who have been brought up
in comfort and luxuy to 90 backward in
the social life and begin according to their
means. II seems like a descent. and il
Is hard to make il gracefully. Better
that ii should be done. however. at FIRST,
than to come to il after brief period Of
luxurious living for in that case the last
state Is apt to be worse than the first.
Emulate the little fisher. therefore. and

Horrible Outrage.

We have learned the following particu
lars in regard to one Of the most horrible
outragcs that has been committed In thi,
section Of country: On the night Of
Wednesday, 20th ult., six men, named
Bud jackson, r. p. Weathcrfori, James
Vaughn, Billy Coe. ben jackson, and
- Humphreys, started out for big
hunt. The first named is married man
with wife and child, the balance young
men, between the, ages Of fifteen and
twenty -one.
When they reached the place Of Mr..
Shelton, a peaceful, respectable farmer,
who resides on the place familiarly known
as the Sammy Grassland place, some one
of them proposed most diabolical plan
for outrnging two innocent women, and
gratifying their own lusts. The PROPOSE.
tion was that they should 20 to Shelton's
house, give him dangerous narcotic,
and then ravish his wife, and daughter
Of Is years. The first four of the party
named readily agreed to this, but the last
two, Humphreys and Ben jackson, to
their honor and credit, refused to join
them in their hellish plan, and returned
to their homes.
When they arrived at Shelton's house
they called Shelton up, forced him to
swallow the opiate, and leaving him ly-
ing in the yard, very bitter cold night,
they went into the house, and seizing the
wife and daughter knocked them down.
The daughter was knocked down three
times by the ruffians with the butt of
their pistols. Seeing that they would be
forced to hold them down every time,
they, to save themselves the trouble, then
tied them both down.
The williams during the night ravished
each one, twice each, and even threatened
a younger daughter only eight years old.
Bud jackson and Billy Coc have both
been captured. and are now in Jail at
and it is thought the Others will
soon be captured as the neighbors are
hunting them down.
Both women were confined to their
beds for four or FIVE days, but are now
able to attend the trial of the two men
who have been caught. Two of the Oldest
citizens of the county who were present
when the women gave their evidsaee. |
eft the court rooA, = shs rs<ilal was tool

These alarming outragss are becoming
ntirely too frequent, and the severest
measures of the law should be meted out
o the persons, who call themselves men,
rho commit them.-Tddicoh Eentuekian
