A CONTINENT COrRRED K1rH ICE.

Prof. Agassiz comes to the conelu-
sion that the continent of North
America was once covered with ice
for a mile in thickness, thereby agree
ing with Prof. Hitchcock and other
eminent geological writers concern
ing the glacial period. In proof of
this conclusion, he says that the slopes
Of the Allegheny range Of mountains
glaeier-wOrn TO the very top, except
few points which were above the
level of the icy mass. Mount Wash
ingtOn, for instance, is over six thou
sand feet high, and the ugh,
unpublished surface Of its summit,
covered with loose fragments, just
below the level of which glacier
marks come to an end, tells US that
it lifted its head alone above the
desOlute waste of Ice and snow.
10 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 the six Thousand 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
prepared for the hand Of the husband
man.
The hard surface of the rocks were
ground t, powder, the elements of
the soil were mingled in fair proper
tions, granite was carried into lime
regions, lime was mingled With the
more arid and unProduetive granite
districts, and soil was prepared fit
for the agricultural uses Of man.
There are evidences all over the
popular regions to show that at one
period the heat OF the tropics extended
all over the globe. The ice period Is
to be long subsequent to
this, and next to the last before the
advent of man,

NEYER RELINOIsH YOUR OBJEcT.

Never relinquish the great object OF
your ambition whatever it may be-
Let IL be, more or less distinctly. ever
present to your mind. Let 1t exert q
controlling influence over all your
actions. In the first place, have some
definite aim to your life-sOme dis
tinet and leading object OF your am
bition; and be ambitious to accom-
plish.it. An aimless, objeetless life
is a dull and dreary waste. It lacks
stimulus, zest, and enjoyment.
In choosing an object Of ambition,
choose a worthy one, in behalf Of
which all the strength, all the higher
and noble faculties Of your nature,
may be enlisted. Have an aim that
YOU may unbiushingly and proudly
exhibit to the light Of the day, and
for which YOU may safely challenge
the respect of all. Then pursue It
earnestly and steadfastly. No matter
what diseOuragement assail you, or
what obstacles present themselves IN
your way, keep right on in the pur-
suit of your object. II your progress
be slow, still persevere, and make 1t
sure.
Do sorrows come TO you? They
come to all. The continued adhe-
renee 10 the great plan Of usefulness
which YOU have laid out will do as
much as anything can to brighten
your path, even when grief and gloom
overshadow 1t. Press on through
good report or evil report, through
darkness OF through sunshine, amid
storms or under peaceful skies-still
Dress on. and never relinQuish the
great object Of your ambition.

PrOper Method of Storm Potatoes

According to the English Mechanic.
potatoes should always be stored in
as dry state as possible, and should
any disease be discovered among
them, small quantities only should
be pitted together; certainly not more
than thirty bushels in each pit. In
the center Of this pit should be placed
a lump of lime about the size OF 3
mans head, and before covering them
in they should receive good busting
of quickllme. The lime absorbs the
moisture during the time the potatoes
sweat, and by so doing prevents the
tubers from overheating, while its
application also greatly improves the
quality Of the potatoes, no doubt
absorbing much Of the water from
the tubers, and consequently making
them more mealy than II pitteG with
out lime. After the potatoes have been
lying in the pit for at lesst q month,
they should be carefully looked over,
and may be placed together in one or
more large pits, in the center OF which
should be placed large basket Of
hard Jumps of lime, OF should the
pits be formed of long trenches, it
will be well to place other baskets at
about twelve feet apart. The whole
heap should slso be well sprinkled
with lime before covering IL. The
pits should be made low aSd narrow,
as they are thus less liable to heat
than If made wide and high.

THE NEW CHURCH ORGAN.
By wnL n. cARLEroS.


They've got bran new organ, Sue,
For all their fuss and search:
They've done just as they said they d do,
And fetched II into church,
They re bound the critter shall be seen,
And on the preachers right,
They've noisled up their new machine
In everybody y sight.
They've got = chOTister and choir;
Ag'n NY voice and vote:
For IL WAS never NY desire,
To praise the Lord by note!
I've been a sister good an true,
For five an thirty year;
rye done what seemed my part to do,
An prayed my duty clear,
I've sung the hymns both slow and quick
Just as the preacher read.
And twice, when Beacon Tubbs was sick
took the fork an led!
And now, their bold, new-fRngied ways
Is comm all about;
And !, right in my latter days.
Am fairly crowded ouJ!
To-day the preacher, good old dear.
With tears ali in mis- eyes,
Read II can read my title clear
10 mansions In the skies, -
I a'ays liked that blessed him
s'pOse L aPays VIII;
1t some how graIiries ny whim,
In good old UTtonvtlie;
But when that choir got up 20 sing,
couldn't catch aword
They sung the most dug-gOndest thing
A body ever heard
Some worldly chap was standin' near
An when 1 seed them grin,
1 bid farewell TO every lear.
And boldly Waded in.
I thought I'd chase their tune along,
An tried with all my might;
But though my voice is good am strong,
couldn't steer IL right
When they WAS high then I was low.
An also c0ntra'wise;
And TOO fast, OF they too slow,
To mansions in the skies"
An after every verse, you know
They played a little tune;
didn't understand, an 50
started in too soon.
Ipitchcd IL pr'tty mlddlin' high,
fetched luRty tone,
But ON, alas 1 found thatI
Mas singiu' there alonei
They laughed little, am told
But ! had done my best;
And not n Wave OF trouble rolled
Across my peaceful breast.
And sister Brown-I could but look
sue sits right 1ront Of me;
She never was no stngin' book,
An never went TO be;
But then SIT arsys trlet to do
The best she ctIuld, she said;
She understood time, right through,
An KEEP 10, with her head;
But when she tried this mornin', oh,

An Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down,
As one might well suppose;
He took one iooE at Sister Brown,
And meekly scratched his nose.
He looked his hymn bo0k through and
And lald IL on the seat.
And then penstve sigh he drew,
And looked completely beat,
An when they GoOk another bout,
He didn't even rise;
But drawed his red bandanner out,
An wiped his weepini eyes.
I've been a sister, good and true,
For five an thirty yea7;
I've done what seemed my part TO do,
: An prayed my duty cles,f,
But death win stop my voice know,
For he Is ON my track;
And some day ! TO church Will 90.
And never more come back.

Conversational power IL a gift Of
birth. It Is some mems nature to
talk. Words flow out incessanflv
like drops from q spring in the hill
side-not because they are solicited
but because pushed out By an In ward
force that viii not let them Be still
From this extreme there Il every de-
gree Of modification until we come to
the opposite extreme. In which men
seem almost unable, certainly unwil-
ling, TO utter their Thoughts. Some
men are poor IN simple language.
They have thoughts enough, but she
symbols Of ho1ght-words- refuse to
present themselves, or come singIy
ana snngily. Others are silent from
me structure Of secretiveness. Others
are cautious, and look before thew
speak. and before they are ready the
occasion has passed,
In regard to language itself the
habit Of reading pure English, and OF
employing it every day, is the best
drill for 8 good talkef. People ALWAYS
act more naturally in their every dsy
clothes than they do when dressed M
for Sunday; and the reason Is. that
thep are unconscious in the one case
and self-eonscious In the other. 1t is
so in speech. II one allows himself
to talk coarselY and vulgarly every
day and out Of company, he viii most
assuredly find 1t not easy to talk well
in company.
Habit is stronger than intention,
and somewhere the common run OF
speech VIII break through and betray
you. To converse well at sometimes
requires that you shall converse well
AZ all times. Avoid on the one side
Sulgarisms, all street cOlloquialisms,
even when they are not vicious; for
by-words and slang sentences amuse
only while they are new. As soon IS
they become habitual they corrupt
your language, without any equival-
ent in amusement.
On tire other extreme. avoid mag
niloquent aud high flown language Of
every kind. Nothing Is more tedious
than 8 grand talker. Everybody
laughs at pompous fellow who lugs
into his conversation big words or pc
dantic expressions. The best language
in the world is that which is so simple
and transparent that no one thinks Of
the words which you use, but only of
the thought or feeling which they en-
press.

THE BIBLE IN SCHOOL.

must say, notwithstanding my
strong adherence Of their system,
that the ROmanists are right In this
matter. Having once been admitted
TO equality Of civil privilege, they
have right TO demand exemption
from seetRrian assumption in the an
| plication of those privileges; and Ger
tainly, in relation to them and their
conscientious objections, the use OF
| the Bible in the schools intended for
the children Of both eommunions is
seetarian. Suppose in any town the
Romanists had the majority, and. in
schools which Protestant children
were obliged to attend, should intro
duoe Roman Church eatechism as a
textbook; would not that be regard
ed as sectarian usurpation, as q breach
of religious neutrality, as violation
Of Protestant rights? The cases are
parallel in principle If not in extent.
Whatever may be the abstract rights
of the case, it Is certainly unwise to
enforce the reading of the Bible in
schools in which the children Of
Papists are mixed with the children
OF PrOtestants and subject to one dis
eipline. Defend it as you will, dis
-guise as you may its theological bear
ing, the practice though not seetarian
in purpose, is sectarian in effect. Il
gives the Pspists right to complain;
IL strengthens their plea for an eQuit-
able division Of the fund, and q special
appropriation to the use OF their com
muuiOn. When the common school
was established. this difficulty did not
exist, could not be ANTICIPATED. The
children were all Protestant, and the
reading of the Bible, under Puritan
rule, was a matter of course, q solemn
auspicatiOn Of each day's work. But
new conditions necesSitate new. uses
and disable the old. The influx of
foreigners with another religion, ad-
verse to such use of the Bible, gives to
that exercise a meaning not eontem
plated when first established. 1t is
better, if possible, that the children of
the two communiOns should be edu-
Gated in common, and that can be
done only by concession on the Prot
estant side. We have admitted for.
eigners to full participation Of our own
civil rights; freedom Of religion Is one
of the rights which not only she let
ter Of the Constitution, but the whole
spirit and drift OF American institu
tions, secure to them. The letter of
the Constitution you may alter; but
legislation, to be Of any avail, must
conform to the genius OF the people
Religious freedom is theirs by right;
and that freedom is invaded when
their conscientious seruples are set at
naught. The scruple may seem un-
reasonable in this case; but we are
bound, 1 think, to respect it.-Dis

SOOT AS A FERTLIzER.-Soot is
nearly as valuable as manure as
guano, bulk for bulk, and It costs
nothing. It is, in fact, necessary to
the safety Of every house that It
should be carefully collected and re-
moved from the premises At least
One-half. Of the fires which annually
destroy property and life are occa-
stoned BY an accumulation Of SCOT In
the stovs-pipes, chimneys, &c. SCOT
contains a considerable proportion of
ammonia, and, on this account, Is
very beneficial 10 nearly all kinds OF
plants; but should be used with
caution. IS it is too powerful for the
tender leaves Of most plants, and re-
quires to be composted with ten times
ifs bulk Of muck, ashes, &C., or
diluted witha large quantity of water.
Twelve quarts Of SCOT dissolved in a
hogshead OF water makes an excellent
liquid manure, which may be applied
with an excellent effect TO all kinds
of vegetables and flowers. It Is better
to apply il to the soil about the roots
than 10 the leaves or stems.

The MarketnhI. Products Of the Sea.

The marketable products Of the ses
may be defined a. those which can be
so cured, or preserved, as to endure
1 long voyages and change of climate
without sensible deterioration, or
those which form part of the actual
annual trade between the different
nations According to this definition,
4 vast quantities and many varieties
which are taken from the sea and
sold for daily consumption are ex-
cluded from the estimate and the
catalogue; and, although the increased
rapidity and cheapness OF Transports
ton afforded by railroads, and the
employmento of ice in the preservation
of fresh fish, have had q very decided
tendency to encourage the fisheries
by encouraging and stimulating the
demand to the interior of countries
for the products harvested on the
coasts, vet, in very few cases are e'there
any statistics of this home trade and
consumption, nor are they of any
special interest beyond the bearing
which they may have upon the object
in view-a knowledge of the wants of
countries as expressed through their
imports.
The follow ing table, showing the
vale and relative rank of each of the
principal products gathered from the
sea in the year 1855, has been COM
piled In part from the official returns,
aud, where these are deficient or not
given, from reasonable estimates.
The articles enumerated and their
values are the produce of the
fisheries of fifteen countries only,
excluding all those on the Pacific,
and many on the Atlantic, for the
want of reliable data, and the
estimates must be, therefore, con
sidered in this, as will be found
in other cases, as rather an approach
to an exposition Of the importance OF
the fisheries than an arrival at their
actual results. Another table will be
presented, exhibiting the total catch
of each nation prominently engaged
in the pursuit and showing that the
annual harvest of the sea may be
valued at 500, ,OO0, 600, besides the value
of the uuFecorded pr, ducts consumed
by the fishermen and their neighbors,
and by the cities and the interior
population, and that other quantity
which is the sole resource aud sub
sistence of many thousands of the
inhabitants of the extreme northern
coasts of Europe and Asia:

HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

I One hundred years ago there was
not a single white man in Ohio, Ken
I lucky, Indiana or Illinois territories.
/ Then, what Is now the most flourish
/ ing part Of America was as little
( known as the mountains Of the moon.
I 1t was not until 1863 that the hunter
of Kentucky, the adventurous Boone,
I left his home in North Carolina 10
become the first settler of Kentucky.
The first pioneer of Ohio did not set
tie tIll twenty years afterwards.
A hundred years ago Canada be-
longed to France, and the whole
population of the United States did
not exceed q million and q half.
A hundred years ago the great
Frederick Of Prussia was performing
those exploits which made him i'm.
mortal In military annals, and with
his little monarchy was sustaining q
single-handed contest with Russia,
Austria and France, the three great
powers of Europe combined.
A hundred years ago the United
States were the most loyal people ofthe
British Empire, and on the political
horizon no speek indicated the strug-
gle which, within a score Of years
thereafter, established the great re-
public of the world.
A hundred years there were
but four uewsr America-
with combi ouiation not ex-
ceeding 2,0 cam engines and

ed, and rail- and telegraphs had
not entered Ine remOtest conception

When we come to look back at it
through the vista of history, we find
that the century which has been allot-
ted to more important events in their
bearing upon the happiness Of the

that has happened since the creation,
A hundred years hence, who can
