can be roved by geological data,
that is, the discovery of fossil
plants of certain species, seems to
be going on in our days ALSO
During the last few years the ice
has increased far to the south !;
thus betwt Ell Greenland and the
Arctic Sea colossal masses OF ice
have accumulated. On the Euro
pean coasts nayigators frequently
find ice in latitudes where it neve r
existed before during the summer
months, md the cold reigning up
on Scandinavian peninsula this
summer results from the masses OF
ice which are foaring in the re-
glon where the Gulf stream bends
toward our coasts. This is a repe-
tition OF the observation made in
the summer of 1865. This unac-
cnstomed vicinity of these masses
of ice has rendered the climate OF
iceland SO cold that corn no longer
ripens there, and the IceIauders. in
fear of coming famine and icy
climate, have begun to found a

What Kind of Religion we Want.

We want religion that softens the
step, and tunes the voice to melody and
fills the eye with sunshine, and checks
the impatient exclamation and harsh
rebuke; religion that is polite, defer
entail to superiors, courteous to inferi-
ors and considerate to friends; a religion
that goes into the family, and keeps the
husband from being cross when dinner
is late, and keeps the wife from frctting
when the husband tracks the newly
washed floor with his muddy boots, and
makes the husband mindful of the
scraper and the door mat: keeps the
mother patient when the baby is cross
and amuses the children as well rs in
structs them; cares for the servants be-
sides paying them promptly, projects
the honey moon into the harvest-moon,
and makes the happy home like the
Eastern fig-tree, bearing in its bosom
at once the beauty Of the tender bios
som and the glory of the ripened fruit.
We want a religion that shall interpose
between the ruts and the gullies and
rocks of the highway of life and the
sensitive souls that are travelling over
them.
