It was going east at last accounts, and if it went far enough it probably ended its career in the ocean. We hope to hear of no de predations^committedbyit oh its journey though we confess that the less of such “ fast company” We have about us, the better we shall be eon tent. Fortunately they do.not come often, for when they do come they are apt to do something to make their visits remembered. It is a. well ascertained tact that masses ,of stone and lumps of iron—fob aerolites and meteors are the same thing, differing only in density—occasionally fall from the upper regions of the atmosphere, and have done so from the earliest periods of recor ded history, often doing incalculable damage.— On the 21th of April, 1808, one of these bodies fell near the lower L'Aigle,. in Normandy, France, and by its explosion scattered its frag ments over an area of thirty square miles. Four instances are recorded of persons having been killed by the descent of such bodies. Besides these more solid bodies, others of a much less density make their appearance as shooting stars followed by trains of light; They now and then appear like great fiery balls traversing the upper regions of the atmosphere, sometimes leaving long luminous trains behind them, sometimes bursting with loud explosion, and sometimes be coming quite extinct. Among the latter may be mentioned the remarkable meteors of August 1783, which traveled the whole of Europe, from Shetland to Romo, with the velocity of thirty miles a second, at a supposed height of fifty miles above the earth, with a light greatly sur passing that of the full moon, and a diameter of quite half a mile. On several occasions meteors have appeared in astonishing numbers, follow ing like a shower of rockets or flakes of snow, illuminating at once whole continents and oceans in both hemispheres; and it is remarkable that these displays pave occurred in the early parts of November and August. Fromjcareful obser vation made at the extremity of a base fifty thousand feet long, it baa been inferred that the heights of meteors at the instant of first ap pearance vary from sixteen to one hundred and forty miles, and their relative velocities' from eighteen to thirty-six miles a second. Altitudes and velocities as great as these indicate an inde pendent.planetary circulation about the sun. Professor Bartlett suggests, as a condition of things hot impossible, that some of these bodies may have been converted, by the superior action of the earth, arising from proximity, into per manent satellites; and there are those who be lieve in the existence of at least one of these bodies which complete its circuit about the earth in three hours and twenty minutes, and at a mean distance of about five thousand miles.

There is a proverb that “a father can more easily mantain six children, than six children one father.” Lather relates this story: “ There was once a father who gave up every thing to his children—his house, his fields, and goods—and expected that for this his children would support him. But after ho had been some time with his son, the latter grew tired of him, and said to him : ‘ Father, 1 have had a son born to me this night, and there, where your arm chair stands, the cradle must come; will you not, perhaps, go to my brother, who has a larger room V’ “ After ho had been some time with the se cond son, be also grew tired of him, and said: ‘ Father, you like a warm room, and that harts my head; won’t you go to my brother, the b% ker V “ The father went, and after he had been some time with ; the .third son, he ifound bim troublesome, and said to him: * Father, the people run in an out here all day, as if it were a pigeon bouse, and you cannot have your noon day sleep ; would you not be better off at my sister Kate’s, near th|o town wall!’ “ The old man remarked how the wind blew, mid said (a himself. ‘ Yes, I will do so; I will go and try it with my daughter. Women have softer hearts.* K “ Bpt after be had spent some time with his daughter, die grew weary of him, and said she was always so fearful when her father went to church, or anywhere else, and was obliged to descend the steep stairs, and at her sister Eliza beth’s there was no stairs to descend, as she lived on the ground floor. “ For tfaesake of peace the old man assented,: and went his other daughter. But after some time she, Wo, was JtiWd of him, and told him by si third person thit her house new the water was.too damp for « man who suffered with the goat. »pd her sister, the gravedigger’s wife, at St. John’s had much drier lodgings. “ The old man himself thought she was right, and..went outside "the gate to* his youngest daughter, Helen, But after he bad been three days with her, her li|tle son said to his grand father: ‘ Mother yesterday to const* BU zabeth, that there was no better chamber for you than such a one os father digs * “ These words broke the old man’s heart, so that he Bankbook In hisq.hair, and died In a a oigppt,” ■ • v5«- Mr. Green, the famous diver, tells singular stories of his adventures, when making search in the deep waters of the ocean. He gives some neweketches of what he saw at the Silver Bank near Hayti:— " The banks of coral on which my divings, narrated in the] previous chapter, , were mode, are about forty miles in length,'and from ten to twenty in breadth. “On this;bank of corals presented to the di ver one of the most beautiful and sublime scenes the eye ever beheld. “ The water varies from ten to!one hundred feet in depth, and so’olear that the diver can see from two to three, hundred feet when he is sub merged, with but little obstruction to the sight. “ The bottom of the ocean, in many places on these banks is as smooth as a marble floor; in others it is studded with coral columns,, from ten to one hundred feet in height, and from one to eighty feet in diameter. The tops of those more. lofty support a myriad of pyra midal pendanta, each forming a myriad more; giving the reality to the imaginary abode of the water nymph. In, other places tho pendants form arch after arch, and as the diver stands on the bottom of the ocean, and gazes through these in the deep; winding avenue, he finds that they fill him with as sacred awe as if he were in some old cathedral, which had long been buried beneath “ old ocean’s wave,” Here and there the coral extends even to the surface of the wa ter, as if those loftier columns were towers be longing to those is lately temples that are now in ruins. “ There were countless varieties of diminutive trees, shrubs and plants, in every crevice of the coral, where the water had deposited the least earth. They wereall of a faint hue, owing to the pale light they received, although of every shade and entirely different from plants I am familiar with that vegetate upon dry land. One in particular attracted my attention ; it resetn* bled a sea-fan of ixmmense size, of variegated colors, and of the most brilliant hue. The fish which inhabited those Silver Banks I found as different as the scenery was varied. They were of all forms, colors and sizes—from the symmetrical goby to tho globc-like sun-fish; from those of the dullest hue to the changeable dolphin; from the spots of the leopard to the hues of tho sunbeam ; from the harmless min now to the voracious shark ; one of small size resembled the bull .terrier. Some darted through the water like meteors, while others could scarcely be seen to move. •‘To enumerate and explain all the various kinds of fish I beheld while diving on the bonks would require more space than my limits will allow, for I am convinced that most of the kinds o* fish which inhabit the tropical seas, can be found there. The sunfish, sawfish, starfish, white shark, ground shark, blue or shovel-nose shark, were often: Seen. There were also fish which resembled plants, and remained as.fixed in their position ais a shrub. The only power theyLposseased was to open and shut when in danger. Sonxe of tnem resembled the rose in full bloom, and were 6f all hues. “ There were the ribbon fish, from four inches to three • feet- in jlength. Their eyes are very large, and protrude like those of the frog.— Another fish Was spotted like the leopard, from three to ten feet in length! They build their houses like the beaver, in which they, spawn, and. the male or female watches the egg until it hatches. I saw many specimens of the green turtle some five feet long, which I should think would weigh from 1400 to 500 pounds. The following interesting story is told by Gleig, in hjs interesting “ Life of (Wellington.” We should scarcely credit it, if it were not vouched for by-the “ Iron Duke” himself; Referring to the advance from the Ebro to the Douro, the Duke stated that he was “ famously taken in on thkt occasion.” 11 The troops had taken to plundering a good deal. It was necessary to stop it, and I issued an order stating that the first man taken in the act should be hanged upon the spot. One day, just as we were sitting down to dinner, three men were brought to the door of the tent by the protest The ease; against them was clear, and I had nothing for if.but to desire that that they should be taken away and banged in some place where they might W seen oy the whole column in its march in|ext jday, 1 had a good many guests on that Occasion, and among the rest, I thin!;, LordvNnggSt. They seemed dreadfully shocked and could not eat their dinner. I didn’t like it much mjjrsolf; but, as I told them, I had no time to ihdoge my feelings—l must do my duty. .Well, the dinner went off rather gravely, and the next morning, sure enough, three men in uniform were seen,hanging from the branch es of a tree close to the highroad. It was a terrible example, and produced the desired ef fect—there was no; more, plundering. . But you may guess what my ; astonishment was, when, some months afterwards, I learned that one of my staff took counsel with Dr. Hump, and as threo men bad just died in the hospital, they hung them up, and let the. three, culprits return to their regiments.: f.- ;■ “ Weren’t you vfety angiy ?” was the ques tion. - i i‘- • v > , ?-■ .■■■■.•■ “ Wdl, I was nt as I had no wish to take the; poor feiiowa’ fives, and only warned the example, and as the example had the affect, n^y ; anger ahon died oat, *nd I confess to you that ! am very glad'nny the thrM lires yrere spared.” ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1860. BOTTOM OP THE SEA. SINGULAR SUBSTITUTION. [independent in everything.] Explanation of the Troubles in Syria. The New York Observer publishes a letter from the Rev. Wm. M. Thompson, Missionary of the American Board of Syria, author of “The Land and the Book,” from which we take the ' following, which explains the heretofore almost, incomprehensible condition of affairs in that country : Ist. The European governments having adop ted Turkey in the general family of nations, consummated their folly by deciding that no in terference with her governmental operations was to be allowed. Hence the Consuls of all nations found themselves paralyzed by positive instructions forbidding them to do anything to arrest this mad and infernal work. 2d. Beirut has been governed for the last few years by an old, talented, but most bigoted Pasha, who has managed to get the Christians of Kesrawan, of Zableh, and of Deir el Kamar into a state of semi-rebellion against himself, and he has been .plotting their destruction for a long time. By increasing the ill will between all Classes, and especially by stiring up the hatred of the Druses towards the Christians, he has now succeeded. Bd. The Christians having been now for so many years without any acknowledged head, found themselves utterly disorganized and un able to resist the wild onslaught! of their enemies | Except at Zaleh, they have made no real resis tance. The whole affair was driven through with startling rapidity. All Lebanon was in a blaze in one day. The Turkish Government everywhere assisted the Druses. 4th. I regard the s access of the Druses and its accompanying atrocities os their final and utter destruction as a body.. Never again will they rule over Christians. Remember that the scenes of cold blooded butchery of unarmed men, of women, of priests, monks, and nuns, not to speak of conflagrations of towns, villages,, ham lets, churches, convents, &c., has no parallel in the history of Lebanon. - I have this very year read through the entire history of Lebanon, since the Arabs have resided on it, and it con tains nothing that can compare with this terri ble tragedy. sth. There was no European ships-of-war on this coast at the' outbreak, and they are just be ginning to assemble, but their coming is certain and non intervention is at an end. The Con suls yesterday received orders all to act in con cert to stop the war. 6th. It is expected that Russia and Prance will act separately from England, Austria and Prussia, and the downfall of the whole Turkish Empire may be looked for. lam slow to blow the trumpet of alarm, but this grand and fear ful result is not improbable A Beautiful Picture.— There are artists who excel in the use'of the brush on canvass who make pictures almost surpassing the beau ties of the rainbow, and whose genius- often times brings before us, with living freshness, the features of loved departed ones, or the glo ries of the, far-off landscape; bat the following “ picture” by Taylor, of the Chicago Journal, indicates more than ordinary artistic skill, albe it drawn with mere “pen and ink.” Is it not beautiful 1 “Talk of pictures as we may, there is no fairer sight than this—A field of-grain fully ripe in a bright day, with a little breath of air in it; woods, old woods, on two sides of the the field, to 1 set off ’ the dull gold; woods lying three-plied velvet,, tint above tint, oak and ma ple and elm, , edgings of willows, and lettered in silver with)flowers of sweet elder; the wind just turning yut the white lining of the poplars, and lightly touching the grain here and there, till it brightois and darkens all over field, as if an April face smiled and grew sober again two or three times in a minute ; the sun-shining aslant the. picture; the sun just ready to set; the tree-tops o-fire, ‘ burning bushes’ along the fences—and no Mount!—the groin looking here as if splashed with fresh gold, and there as if day had died on it and stained xt through and through with red glory. Not a reaper in sight, not a ora lie’s wooden fingers thrust stiff and stark through the fence, not a suggestion of bog s or bin anywhere; only a zigzag flash of a squir rel along the rails, that ‘ takes his pay as he goes' ;’ only a bird that dipped in the yellow rip ples and skimmed singing away; only a butter- ; fly dickering like a pair of hickory leaves in an autumn wind.” • WontH Tbtino.; —Prof. Maury, in a recehr work, states that an abundance of sunflowers about a place is a sure .preventative against fever and ague, and; that he has tested it in many of the most unhealthy localities.— They we to be sown late/ so as to arrive at ma .turity in the fall, and to be placed between the place where the miasma is sup posed to arise.

A - woman who la happy because she can’t help it—whose smiles even the coldest sprinkling of' misfortune cannot dampen. Men make a terrible mistake when they marry for beauty, or for talent, or for style; the sweetest wives are those who the magio secret of being contented under every cir cumstance. Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no difference; the bright little fountain of joy bubbles up just as musieally in their hearts.—. Do they live in a log cabin T the firelight that leaps on its humble' hearth becomes brighter than the gilded chandeliers in an Aladdin pal ace ! Do they eat brown bread and : drink cold water from the well ? it affords them more solid satisfaction than the millionaire’s pkte de foie gras and iced champaigns. Nothing, ever goes wrong with them—no trouble is too serious for them to “ make the best of it.”: : Was ever stream of calamity so dark and deep that the sunlight of a happy face, falling across its tor bid tide,, would not wake an answering, gleam! Why, these joyous tempered people don’t know half the good they do. No matter how cross and savage you feel, Mr. Grumbler—no matter if your brain is packed full of meditations or “ afflicting dispensations,” and your stomach with medicines, pills and tonics, just set one of these cherry little women talking to you, and we are not afraid to wager anything she can cure you. The long drawn fines about; ihe mouth will relax—the cloud settled gloom will vanish, 1 nobody knows when, you’ll be laughing— yes, positively laughing! Why? That is another thing; we can no more tell why than we can tell whj you smile involuntarily to listen to the first blue bird of the season, among the maple blos soms, or to meet a knot of yollow-eyed dande lions in the crack of a city paving .stone. We. only know that it is"so., Oh, these happy women 1 how often their slender shoulders bear the weight;of burdens that would smite man to the ground ? how often the little hands guide the ponderous machinery of life with an almost ivisible touch ! how we look forward, through a weary day, to their fire side smiles! how often their cheerful; eyes see co'uleur de rose where we only behold thunder charged clouds ! No one knows—OQ one ever will know, until the day of judgement, bow much we owe to these hopeful, uncomplaining women! BST To-day, says Quilp, I’m forty-four, which I take to be the “age of discretion’? - that one reads' about. It is commonly supposed to come with a young fellow’s majority. But that is the age of in-discretion, as the doctors will tell you, if you happen to doubt it. • Nobody canbo con sidered safe till he is forty-four. It; is the age of wisdom and strength, and precisely the date at which it would be pleasant to stop, if such a thing were possible, “ Perpetual yotxth” was the blessing the gods used sometimes to grant to their favorites among mortals; bat I would prefer, if it is nil the same to them, to be made a fixture a little later in life—say at about for ty-f^ur! Ripe in judgment, chastened in ima gination, experienced in the ways of the world, strong in mind and muscle—capable of work-or play, adapted to all manly offices in the gift of of nature or the government—who wouldn’t be glad to halt awhile at forty-four"? But, eheu 1 ii can tbe done! Forty-four, in the course of a twelvemonth, must give place to fprty-five; bye and bye—jf we live long enough—comes fifty, and sixty, and seventy-five, and tha( is .do tage, downright senility, and then—,” Her* Quilp broke off, and so do we. —Boston Pott. Theillino Incident.; —Jn a lecturtj; recently delivered by Grace Greenwood, at Boston, on “Heroism,” she referred to an incident that took place at tpe burning of a steantep on one of the Western Lakes : “ Among the few passangers whose! courage and presence of mind rose superior tb the per ilB and horrors of the night, was a mother,* who succeeded in saving her two childreniby means of a floating settee. While they were in the water, the mother saw’ a man swimiph toward the settee, and as he wosabouttogrimp it/she cried : ‘ Douft take it away from .my poor children!’ The man made no answer,' yet the appeal struck home: for, by the light of the flaming vessel, she could see that his face was convulsed by the struggle between t|e inigbty primal instinct of nature and something better aud holier.

Be communicative, hut not forward. Be kind, but not servile. fiCware of silly, un meaning speeches; although you. may forget them, others will not. Bemember God’s eye is in every place, and his ear in every company.— Beware of levity and familiarity with young men; a modest reserve, without affectation, is the only safe path. Court and encourage seri ous conversation with those who an truly seri ; ons and converdble ; and do not go intb valua ble company without endeavoring to improve by the intercourse permitted to yon, Nothing is more uaheooming, when ons part of the compa ny wi engaged in profitable and Interesting con-; ; venation, than that another part should be tii •fling, giggling, and talking comparative non sense to each other.” , 1 s i , "EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
