The best consistency is to be consist
ent to ones self, by acting, every day
up to the light of that day. The trav'
oler who guides his steps in relation tc
one object, such as q mountain, who
wishes to keep always at the same dis
tance from that, may, indeed, keep
moving and apparently advancing, but
he is really travelling in circle around
the one object; bat he who is guided by
the path will always be changing his
relative position, and every step makes
him inconsistent with the scenery; but
he moves on and on, and advances into
new countries, and reaches his Journeys
end. Know thyself and be true to thy
self. Thou art in the way of truth.

acEN. Gautier, in his recent work on
chemistry, estimates that there are an,
nuallv extracted from the bowels of the
earth and consumed l30, coo, 900 tons 0,
coal. containing on an average seventy
FIVE per cent. of carbon; $4,000, ,0Ol
tons, Of carbon being, therefore, an
nuallv transformed into $4,000 ,0Ot
tons of carbonic acid; and assuming, a
moderate calculation, that the lie
manning causes of combustion-wood
oils, etc.-represent the fifth of the pre-
celing quantity, it follows that manu-
features, navigation and domesti
economy pour into the atmosphere tn
pl plrligious quantity of 427 .OOo, VlO ton
OF carbonic acid year. In the vol
canic regions Of the globe, carboni
acid escapes from craters ami assures Ii
actual torrents, producing mass 0
