DURATION OF ETERNITY.-Various illustra. tions have been suggested to convey to the mind some idea of illimitable duration, It has been said, suppose one drop of the ocean should be dried up every thousand years. how long would it be ere the last drop would disappear, and the oceans bed be left dry and dusty? Far onward as that would be in coming ages, Eternity would have but commenced.
 It has been said, suppose this vast globe upon which we tread was composed of the finest particles of the finest sand, and that one particle should disappear at the termination of each million of years, oh, how inconceivably immense must be the period which must elapse before the last particle would be gone | And yet, Eternity would then be in it's morning twilight. It has been said suppose some little insect, so small as to be imperceptible to the naked eye, were to carry this world by its tiny mouthtuls to the most distant star the hand of God has placed in the heavens Hun dreds of millions of years would be required for the single journey. The insect common. ces on the leaf of tree, and takes its little load so small that even the microscope cannot discover that it is gone, and sets out on its almost endless journey.

A Strange Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians there is g strange tradition regarding the white mans origin and superiority. They say that when the Great Spirit made the earth He also made three men, all of whom were fair complexion. ed, and that after making them he led them to the margin of small lake and bade them leap in and wash. One obeyed and came out purer and fairer than before; the second hes ttated moment, during which time the water, agitated by the first, had become muddled, and when he bathed he came up copper colored :; the third did not leap in until the water be- came black with mud, and he came out dark in color. Then the Great Spirit laid before them three packages, and out of pity for his misfortune in color, gave the black man his first choice. He took hold of the packages, and having felt the weight, chose the heav- jest; the copper-colored man chose the next heaviest, leaving the white man the ightest
 When the packages were opened, the first was found to contain spades, hoes and all the implements of labor; the second en- wrapped hunting, fishing and warlike appara- tus; the third gave the white man pens, ink and paper, the enigma of the mind the means of mutual mental improvement, the founda
 ton of the white mans superiority.

Twin EnkeS.

One would naturally expect that the recent l 'spell of weather would put damper on the happiness of camping parties, but if the truth were known, campers arc more jolly, and camp life is more hilarious during wet weather than in clear. During the steady rain of Monday the Falls Village band kept music in the air. continually, and loud peals Of laughter from the Bridgeport and South port camps testified that stormy weather could not spoil their fun.
 The fishing continues about as usual for this season-that is, not quite as good as last year; the best strings of fish shown by the campers have been taken by Dr. Wells of Southport.
 The picnic grounds of the Railroad Co. are nearly ready for use, the rainy weather hay ing caused some delay in the carpenter work The company is doing all it can to make the grove attractive and popular. A spacious and we'll laid dancing platform has been erected, likewise pavilion, where we pre- sume small beer, etc. will be dispensed on festive occasions. A wharf has been built out into the lake, which will make the land ing of boats more convenient, as the water is very shallow close ill shore. A little building near the wharf will be very convenient for bathers, and we presume that it was built for | their use.
 The pleasant weather of the past few days has attracted several picnic parties here, and more campers are expected soon. DELTA. Aug 20, 1879.
