The YELLOWSTONE. NATIONAL PARK
Congress, March l. 1872 set apart tract OF
land, ftty-6ve by sixty-fve miles, situated 10
the Territories of Wyoming aud Montana, and
called it the Yellowstone National Park, or
pleasure ground, for the benefit aud enjoyment
of the people. In the American journal OF
science and art; volume ILL.,, April: lS12, Is
description By T. V Hayden, /. S. Geol"gist,
ofthis reservation:
1.-The Yellowstone lake is walled in on every
side by mountains, which form one OF the most
remarkable water sheds on the continent;
They are from 10,QG0 to l2M0 feet hish ana
covered With eternal SHOWS. The SHOWS upon
their SUBMITS give origin 10 three OF the iarg-
est rivers Of North America he entire area
within this park is over 1000 feet above tue
water, and Yellowstone lake, itself 10 BY -
miles, is ,421 feet above the sea level. Dur
ing the mouths of June, July, and August the
climate is pure and inyigoratng, with scarcely
any rain or storms Of any kind; but the Their
mometer frequently sinks a. low as twenty.SlS
degrees There is frost every month OF the
year. The hot springs and gcysers represent
the last stages-the vents and escape ppcs-oi
these remarkable manifestations OF the internal
forces All these springs are adorned with
decorations more beautiful than human art ever
conceived, and which have required thousands
of years for the cunning of Daturc to form.
This park is under the exclusive control OF
the Secretary Of the Interior, who, at his dis
erection, shall make rules to provide for the pre-
seryation from injury or spollation OF all timber,
mineral deposits, natural curl0sltics, or won
ders in this park, and their reteution i'll their
natural condition. Wash. IH.

1 had the pleasure Of attending d.
vine service at Cedar Springs last
Sabbath. 1t was a Sacramental oc-
casion. The day was bright and
lovely-and a large congregation
was present. Mr.. Soan had the Rev.
Mr.. Grier, President of Erskine Col
lege, to assist him. Mr.. Grier did
the preaching, and good preaching it
was. His sermon in the morning
was a complete vindication of the
necessity of Christs death. In the
afternoon he preached from Ecclesi-
astes7 chapter and lst clause Of the
10th verse. This was mastery eff.
fort. The speaker said this was an
age in which scripture was distorted
and warped. to suit mems own notions
and this text had often been quoted
as an argument against righteousness.
1t did not mean that there was dan
ger of getting too much righteous
ness. This was impossible-some
thought that it applied to that class Of
professors who strain at a gnat and
swallow q camel; but he was in.
clined to regard it as irony used by
the wise man. Mr.. Grier is young
man of no ordinary talent, and at
no distant period will rank among
our ablest divines-the worthy son OF
a worthy sire.
While We mourn the loss of one
who was beloved by all who admire
purity of life and rectitude it is con-
soling to see his mantle fall on the
shoulders of son who wears it with
credit to himself and honor to his
father.

Inown and read of all men," Long
nay his life be spared and his labors
