Infdels have objected to the size of the
Ark; have asserted that it is absurd to
suppose that ever there could be vessel
constructed large enough to hold all the
creatures which must have been placed in
it, with sufficient food, it may be, for SIX
or twelve months-water for the fish, corn
for the four-footed animals, seed for the
birds, and so on. Now we will take the
dimensions of the ark from the records oil
Moses, and calculate them on the lowest
possible scale. There are two definitions
given to cubit--one that is eighteen
inches, or q feet and half, and the other
that is twenty inches We will take it
only at the lowest. Moses states that tho
ark was 800 cubits long; this would make
it 459 feet long, or about the length OF ~,
Paul's Cathedral, London. The breadth
he states to DO fifty cubits; we then have
it seventy five feet in breadth. He states
it to be thirty cubits high; so that was
ferty-five feet high.
| In other words, IL was as long us 81.
Paul's Cathedral nearly rs broad, and
half as high. The tonnage of the ark,
according to the computation of modern
carpenters, must have been $4,000 tons.
The largest English ship (of size alto
gether unimiginabla to those who have
never seen it) is $500 tons hurtheni so
that the ark must have been equal to
twenty-six first-rate ships of war, and il
armed as such ships are, it would have
contained beyond $4,000 men, and provis.
ions for them eighteen months. Button
has asserted that all four-footed animals
| may be reduced to two hundred and fifty
! pairs, and the birds to still smaller
number. On calculating, therefore, We
shall find that the ark would have held
more than five times the necessary num-
Der Of creatures, and more than five times
the required quantity Of food to main
tain them twelve mouths.

New CALEDONIA, which is to be
the future habitation of so many Of
the exiled Communists, is an island
IN the South Pacific, about 200 miles
in length and an average of 30 in
breadth. 1t is traversed by range
of mountains, reaching in some
places an altitude of 5000 feet, but
the valleys are very fruitful and the
coasts we'll timbered.
The island was discovered by
Captain Cook in l774, and the native
inhabitants are savages of the Pa
puan race. 1t was first taken pos
session of in 1854 by the French,
probably with partial Wow to its
future use as a place Of Punishment.

a BcnutifuI Ketrospect.

When the summer day of youth is slow
ly wasting away into the nightfall Of age,
and the shadows of the past year grows
deeper and deeper as life wears to close,
IL is pleasant to look back through the
vistas of time upon the joys and sorrows
of early years. If We have a home to
shelter, or hearts to rejoice with us, and
friends who have been gathered around
our Preside, then the rough places Of our
wayfaring will be worn and smoothed
away in the twilight of life, while the
bright sunny spots we have passed through
will grow brighter and mere beautiful.
Happy, indeed, are those intercourse with
the world has not changed the course of
their holier feeling, or broken their must
cal chords of the heart, whose vibrations
are so melodious, SO tender and so touch
ing, in the evening Of age. ~

The Cuban Qucstion.

II Don Carries, who aspires to the throne
of Spain and has no faith in the possible
ity Of Spanish republic, is right IN bis
view that no govern ment in that country,
whether popular or monsrchical, will con-
sent for q mement 10 any proposition in
yolying the alienation Of Cuba. We may
lock for the worrying and wasting war in
the unhappy island to continue, without
any prospect of peace until one or the 9TH
err party to the strife shall suffer dsci-
siye discontinue. The peace must be con-
quered.
The arrival Of the new Captain General
at Havana is an earnest Of the intention
Of the home gov ernment, and his speech to
the troops an earnest of the uncompromis-
inc policy that 10 to be pursued SO long
AZ the insurgents adhere to their revolu-
tiozary deter,nin alton, although as q
doucear 10 their submission, he holds out
the elittering promise of amnesty instead
Of exile or death. 49,.
In his view Of the case then, is It not
apparent that the Cuban war will yet be
long protracted, unless the convulsed
condition Of Spain should result in. an
archy. thereby disabling the maintenance
AZ her island armies, or the Intervention
Of other powers be invoked to repress the
contest in the interest Of peace or in the
mans Of human liberty? OF the final ter
mination Of the struggle we have had
from the beginning, now five years ago,
but one opinion.
We have never believed that Spain, or
the Spanish people, would willingly aeeede
10 any transfer Of Cuba TO a preign pow
,r-ecarcely sooner than they would grant
40 the Cubsns that independence for which
the struggle now goes on. The island mas
been for many years TOO large source OF
revenue 70 be parted with, and great as the
financial straits Of Spain have been At
times. We doubt II her statesmen have for

THE GREAT LESSON.

"IIon esiy 10 the best policy" is aeom-
Portable old maxim. II is an opiste TO
the conscience and . pillow Of down to the
head, whether II were an imperial crown
or the cap Of an artisan: And yet, with
daily auestations Of the truth Of this,
we find men from the humbles' depart
men,s in life to the most exalted, the
very moment thsir soaring syss behold
the glitterisg heights Of glory. throw aside
all thought as to whether even the august
abilities Of q Burke, can scale or the slo'
1uence of Fox storm II, knowing that the
rec,itude of awsshinston mus, nssis pass
the gauntlet Of great Temptations and
great trials, before even IL may 'eel Sc
cure upon Tho luminous supmit yet, in
the face of all this, throw themselves with
: dumb reoklessnes into the angular path
Of chicanery, and despite the warning OF
the celestial tongue, "be sure your sins
will find you out" chose the shadewy sS-
pedient of purchase, and elect fraud ss
the kings highway to power. -
The latest verifcation Of this is shown
in that most gigantic of legislative crimes
the Credit Mobilier scheme. Our most
trusted public servaats, legislators who in
some respects have been the marvslof the
world and the pride of the Republic, many
of them among the most splendid intel
lecis of tho globe, and under whose foster
ing care the nation has more rapidly,
more solidly and more fully developed
than under any Congress since its'estab-
lishment, and yet, with such 2 beamlpg
and such mastery record, with the bla-
zonry of SO many glorious victories npon
their banners, these men have dared fc
listen to the voice Of the sorcerer, and
they who once stood as the mountain cedar
are at last stricken to the earth by the
thunder-b Of their country's indigna.
ton forever.
What lesson is this to that ambition
which strips itself of its conscience as al
encumbranoe in its race for power VIVA
u lesson to tho youth Of our land ! And
what towering warning to the arrogance
Of earthly power, that although it may for
awhile mystify an abused nation, ant
keep back it's vengeance, the same power
that carried it safely through the fer,
tempest of its birth, will bring confusion
and ruin upon the rulers who dare violate
their trust or betray their people.
