face is at once explained; indeed, no
other arrang cement could be, looked for.
It is worthy of notice that Mr.. NAL
let's theory Of volcanic energy is COM
pletely opposed to ordinary ideas re-
specting earthquakes and valcanoes.-
We have been accustomed vaguely to
regard these phenomena as due to the
eruptiYe outbursting power of the
earth's interior; we shall now have to
consider them as due to the. .subsidence
and shrinkage Of the earth's exterior.
Mountains have not been ,upheaved,
but valleys have sunk down., And in
another respect the new theory tends
to modify views which have been gem
orally entertained in recent times.
Our most eminent biologists have
taught that the earth's internal forces
may be as active now as'in the epochs
when the mountain-ranges were form
ed. But Mr.. Mallet's theory tends to
show that the volcanic energy of the
earth is a declining force. It's chief
action had already been exerted when
mountains began to be formed; what
remains now is but the minutest frac-
tion of the volcanic energy ofthe noun
tain-forming era; and each year, as the
earth parts with moreland more of its
internal heat, the, sources of her sub
terranean energy are more and more
exhausted. The thought once enter
tanned by astronomers, that the earth
might explode like. a. bomb, her scatter.
ed fragments producing ring, Of
bodies resembling the zone Of asteroids,
seems further than ever from probable
ity; if ever there. was any danger of
such catastrophe, the danger has long
since passed aWay.-L01sd0n Spectator.

work of emancipation. In manner
halfapologetic, he said this might seem
strange, but there were occasions when,
uncertain how to proceed-when it
was not clear to his mind what he
should do-he had in this way submit
ted the disposal Of a subject to a High
er Power, and abided by what seemed
the Supreme Will. Events at Sharps-
burg had confirmed and strengthened
his original purpose in regard to eman-
cipation, and he had no hesitation in
issuing this preliminary order; the
States interested would decide forthem-
selves as to it's consummation.
This was not the only occasion when
ne manifested the peculiar faith or
trait here exhibited. It was doubtless
to be attributed in a great measure to
the absence Of early religious culture
"a want of educational advantages in
his youthful, frontier life. In the
wilderness of Indiana fifty years ago
there were few churches, and only an
occasional wandering preacher furnish
ed the sparse population with rude re-
ligious instruction. Although his
early opportunities for religious i'm
provement had been few, there was
deep-seated within him a feeling of de-
pendence and trust in that Supreme In
telligence which rules and governs all.

the reading of the document, when the

Of State, with directions to publish it

TENDENCY TO DRuNKENNEss.-No
person can possibly know whether
there is in him the tendency to- inebri-

ment. No person can possibly even
have this Development except by the
use of alcohol. The man who totally
abstains is safe, even though the ten
dency to inebriety may Turk within
him, the fearful legacy of an ancestor.
The man who drinks, no matter how
cautiously or moderately, may wake up
this devil within him, which no human
power can control. Health and safety
are on the side of abstience, while dam

in the pathway of the habitual drink

And thus with his spade
And his bottle he goes -..
Through the light and the shade, d.
Mid his friends and his foes,
Making and spending,
Breaking and mending,
Now healing heart, and now bruising a
nose.
At last the gray hairs
You behold ON his brow,
And the old ditcher wears
Some deep traces now,
For life has rough used him,
And men have abused him,
And the ground to his shovel is harder
somehow.
He is on his last ditch
He is delving alone;
He has made others rich
With his sinew and bone;
But now as he bends him
In toll none befriends him,
For the strength that abode in his good
arm is gone.
His hoary old head
Is as white as the snow;
He tolls now for bread,
For his wages are low;
Life's vices and pleasures,
It's baubles and treasures,
No longer are honest Pats heritage now.
No kind hand to give
Him holidays rest,
He must toll if he'd live,
Tho sick and distressed;
He's not cen bottle
To cheer his old throttle,
And bring back moment of youth to his
breast.
X
He has toiled the long day,
But his labor seems dead;
His work will not pay
For his supper and bed,
And fever is o'er him
All who will restore him?
What gentle hand pillow the old ditcher's
head2
Lo! pale twilight comes
@ With the charm of witch,
Der the hearths and the homes
Of the low and the rich;
But over the meadow
There comes dark shadow,
And the old ditcher sleeps his last sleep in
his ditch.

No Blunderer Wanted.

n HrsC-raLe STORY is TOLD OF O. very
prominent man, who lived in Detroit
forty years ago, and who at that time
owned more steamboat stock than any
other man in the Western country, be-
sides other wealth to a large amount.
Like many of the pioneers who &C
quired great riches, he was very igno-
rant in all that books taught, but his
learning was more like wisdom, and in
common with. many who have lived
and passed away, but left their mark
behind them, he knew what tree would
make shingles by rocking at it. -. 81
He had, at the time of our story, Just
completed splendid new warehouse
at Buffalo, and wanted a suitable clerk
to take charge of it.. He advertised
for one in the papers. The next morn
ing earl y candidate for the position
presented himself-a rather too f1ashy
young man in appearance, but the fol-
lowing conversation occurred:
"Young man, when you make mis-
take in any of your books, how do you
correct it?" ,.... .~,e..., !, ....,,....
The young man explained, in very
profuse manner, how he should pro-
ceed to make it all right. aa'. o. -1tI,
ga good way no doubt to do it," re-
piled the old man, 'but l shan't want
you.'' 80. - 49,. -
Very soon another aspirant put in
an appearance. A similar question
was asked him, and in long and elo-
quent manner he pointed out the reme-
dy in such cases. All the reply was
"Young man, shan't want you"
Some three or four others dropped
in during the day, and to each one the
same question was put, and they all
had some smart way to cover up errors
in their books. '.3l# -.f.+..s .'.-.- ra:t
The old gentleman was entirely ig-.
norant himself of the art of book-keep-
ing, but he had wisdom in all things,
which is more than a match for learn
ing. RAJ. .,........... .,...
Just at the close of the day, plain
ly dressed man, with a brighter eye
and brisk step called for the situa-
ton. --.-.--& .>H.~
"Take seat, sir,' said the old gen
tleman. 81 want to ask you one ques-
ton: When you make false entry on
your books how do you go to work to
correct it % '.e .gs ~. rua..r II
Turning upon his questioner cold,
sharp look, the young man replied:
g! don't make that Kind Of mistakes,
sir.' ~, '~...-.T '.9 ..,e -
"Ah! my dear sir, you are just the
man have been looking for all day."
and in a few moments after, the man
who corrected his blunders by not MAX
ing them, was installed in the office.
Moraz.-Evidently there are a great
many blunderers in this world; men
who blunder deliberately, who set down
the wrong figures purpOsely, as trials
in Courts now going on all over the
country fully testify. Young man,
don't try to make mistakes, no matter
how urgent the necessity; be careful
with the figures upon your employers
books; don't violate his confidence and
love by protesting to act honestly,
while at heart you are rogue. Keep
your head up; look your fellow-man
and calmly in the face, an,
honest man can do that, dishonest
one cannot.

WORDS TO THINK OF.-Worki is
no dishonor and laziness is no credit
to any one. It is good to have good
wages; but half is better than nothing
and working for nothing is better than
idleness and vice. There is no true
manhood without independence. He
whose individuality. is swallowed up
by fashion,, folly orasociety, has lost
that which he may never regain, and
without which his life must be vain
one. He who restraints himself from
luxury may help Others in necessity,
He who helps others may look to God
to help him.. Difficulties are placed in
our way that we may overcome them,
and pass through conflicts to victories
and through victories TO triumphss
Pride goes before destruction, but hon
or, and nobleness, and independence of
soul, are profitable to man. .' I.s

A BACHELOR JUROR. gentleman
who is rather given to storytelling re-
lates the folloWing:-"When I was a
young man, / spent several years in
the South residing for awhile at Port
Gibson, on the Mississippi river. A
great deal of litigation was going on
there about that time, and it was not
always an easy matter to obtain jury.
One day was summoned to act in
that capacity, and repaired to court to
get excused. On my name being call
ed, | informed his honor, the Judge,
that was not freeholder, and there
fore not qualified to serve. "I am
stopping for the time being at this
place" "You board at the hotel, l
