Another Mammoth Cave in Ken.
lucky.

From the Lexington Observer and Reporter)
The discovery ola new Mammoth
Cave" in Kentucky is reported. 1t
il close to place called Split
Rocks" in Boone county, and is
causing much excitement. The local
papers say that the neighborhood
has been the resort for picnics for
years; and yet, until July 10 last, it
has remained entirely unknown.
The cave, so far as explored. is
said TO DO moro than two miles long.
and it contains single chamb ers no
less than one hundred in length by
forty feet in width and twenty in
height. Limestone forms the en-
trance, and generally the sides of the
cave, while the roof consists of a
heavy shale. The walls are often in.
crusted with iron and manganese, in
terspersed with shining crystals OF
gypsum. Pendent from the ceiling
are beautiful stalactites, the growth
OF ages, and some of them in the hall
extend quite to the door, thus consti-
tu;ing imposing ranges of columns.
II is probable that most interesting
accounts will soon be made public of
articles found in the cave. Already
arrowheads, tomahawks aud other
utensils bearing marks Of the hand OF
the red man have been discovered,
and thore is strong probability
that further researches will add
largely to the relics thus at the out.

Dip you ever notice what different
aspect everything wears in the sunshine
from what it does in the shadow? And
did you ever think what an analogy
there was between tho sunlight Of the
cloudless skies and the sunshine that
CLEANS into the darkened chambers Of
the human soul? How bright and beau
tiful are the golden beams that break at
last through the riven clouds to tighten
up the world again after succession of
dark and stormy days. How peaceful
and happy are the blissful words of
hope and cheer That touch the hearr and
fill the soul with emotions Of peace and
joy after long period Of dependency,
when uttered by some disinterested
friend. There are none living who do
not, in greater Or less degree, have an
influence over the earthly happiness of
others The sense of contributing to
the pleasurs of others augments our
own happiness. Unselfshness, Chris
tian charity, and loving kindness, are
the sunbeams ofthc soul.

man to a distant portion OF a large
rancho to look after a herd of sheep.
The Indian at night-iall got un-

down in his blanket. After q few
hours sleep he was awakened by
feeling the hot breath of some an
