The opposition to the new Consti

of the county, were the followers of
Cameron, Kemble, Bergner and Evans
lovers of the negro brigade, who used
the new Constitution as an ambuscade
to cover up their malignity to A. G.
Curtio. But they have been defeated
and their true hostility to our distin
guished fellow citizen exposed by the
honest voters of the county, who
knew him, and he has their confi

The proposal to increase the na
tional taxes $-12,000,000 is exciting a
debate in Congress that is likely to
show the workings of the Radical
financiers in anything but an enviable
light. Mr. Dawes the Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee, was
forced to adroit that in the present
condition of affairs, it was impossible
to so limit the estimates for the pres
ent fist al year that au increase of tax
ation to the extent of forty or fifty
millions will make up for the deficien
cy, and estimates that the necessary
increase of taxation will be grea
ter.
It is a lamentable thing says Uie

publicans to grief. Mr. David A.

grant his reasonable request, where
upon it is discovered that Mr. David
A. Gage cannot account for the tri

would have made a fuss about this

CHRISTMAS
A merry Chriilmu l<> every reader ,
ol tin* While we may
not know how each one !*|n*ndi this
mwt celebrated of all holiday* vet we
j harbor the wish that all may find it
| l'r> ightcd with an ahumUuce ot li*|*-
jiiness and pure merriment which nil
anticipate at it* coming. Mankind
rweivod its greatest gift on this
day the child Jwui, the Saviour of
the world. It will he interesting
:\ this particular time to read a hi*
tory of thia Festival which carries ua
back to the olden time ot it* institu
tion. We therefore copy tor the bent lit
of the readers of the Reporter, the
following front the Amer. Cyclopae
dia :
Christmas (Christ *iul ), lti*al
of iho Christian church, observed on Pee.
25th, tha siinisr**ry of the birth of the
Saviour. Iu Institution is attributed by
the deerelat letter* to Pope Telee|>h..ru,
who died A. 1). nd thioughout the
subsequent history of the church it ha*
! been one of the ni>*t noted of Christian
solemnities. At llri it was the me.t mov
able of the Christian festive days, often
confounded with the Kptphany, and eele
brated by the eastern churche* in the j
months of April and May. In the 4th
canlury the urgency of St. Cyril of Jerusa
lem obtained from Pop* Jultu. I an or
der for au investigation to be made con-
I earning the day ot Christ's nativity The
result of inquiry by the theologians of the
East and the West wss an agreement
the 'Josh ot Deeeiulwr The chivf
grounds for the decision wero the tables of
the censers in the archives of Koiae ; and
although, in the opinion of some •! the
fathers, there was (not authentic proof ©:
die identification of the day, yet the deci
-on was uniformly accepted, and from
••hat time the nativity has been celebrated
throughout the church on the saute day.
It has also been a eoumion tradition that
Christ was born about the middle of the
night The custom in Roman Catholic
countries of ushering in Christmas day by
the eelebratien of 3 masses, one at mid
night, the 2d at early dawn, and the 3d in
the morning, dates, from the Gth century.
The day was considered in the double
light ef a holy commemoration and a
cheerful festival, and was accordingly dis
tinguished by devotion, by vacation trow
business, and bv merriment. During the
middle ages it was celebrated by the gay
fantastic spectacle of dramatic mysteries
a-.d nioraltie*, performed by personages
in grotesque masks and singular costumes.
The scenery usually represented an infant
in a cradle, surrounded by the Virgin
Mary and St. Joseph, by bulls heads,
cherubs, eastern magi, and manitold orna
ments. The custom of singing canticles
at Christmas, called carols, which recalled
the songs of the shepherds at the birth of
Christ, cates from the time when the
common people ceased to understand latin.
The bishops and lower clergy often joined
with the populace in carolling, and the
songs were enlivened by dances and by
the music of tambours, guitars, violins,
and ergans. Fathers, mothers, sens, and
daughters mingled together in the dar.ee ;
if in the night, each bearing in his hand a
lighted wax taper. Many collection*
have baen made of these nnive mediaeval
carol* ahicb filled the hours between the
nocturnal masses, and which sometimes
took the place of psalm* in the churche*.
Of perhaps the oldest of these collections,
only, a single leaf remains, containing 2
enrols, preserved in the Bodleian library,
in a volume of "Christmasse Carolles,"
printed by Wynkin do Worde in 1521.
Davies Gilbert published a volume of
"Aacient Christmas Carols," with the
tunes to which they were formerly sung
in England, and William Sandys made
a more complete collection (LomJn 1833).
The carols ef the Welsh are especially
celebrated, and their I-Jfye Carulan
(Book of Carols) contains •"*>, and their
Blodeugerdd Cytnru (Anthology of Waie)
contain* 38. The German carols ware
! collected by Weinhold (Gratz., 1853), and
one ef the best of the many editions of
French carols (noclil was published at
Poitiers in 1824. During the lat days
proceeding Christmas it is still the custom
fer Calnbrian minstrels to descend from
the mountains to Naples and Rome, salu
ting the shrines of the virgin mother
with their wild music, under the |oetical
notion of cheering her uatil the birth-time
of her infant at the approaching Christ
ma*. In a picture of the nativity by
Raphael he has introduced a shepherd at
the door playing on a aort of bagpipe.
Preparatory to Christmas the bell* are
-ung at dead midnight throughout Eng
land and the continent; and after the
solemn celebration of tbe mass, for which
the churches in France and Italy are
magnificently adorned, it is usual for the
revcllct* to partake of a collation (rcvei/-
fron), that they may be better able to sus
tain the fatigues of the night. Among the
revels of tbe Christmas season were the
so-caiied, feasts of fools and of asses, gro
tesque saturnalia, which were sometimes
termed "December liberties," in which
everything serious wa* burlesqued, inferi
ors personifying their superiors, great
men becoming frolic-erne, and which il
lustrate the proneness of man to occasion
ally reverse the order of society and ridi
cule its decencies.—ln the Protestant dis
tricts of Germany and the north of Eu
rope, Christmas, is often called the
"children's festival," and Christmas
eva is devoted to giving presents, es
pecially between parents and children,
and brothers and sisters, by meuns of the
so-called Christmas tree. A large new
bough is erected in one of the parlors,
lighted with tapers, an 1 hung with mani
fold gifts, sweetmeats, apples, nut*, play
thing-, and ornaments. Each of these is
marked with the name of tbe person for
whom it i* intended, but not with the
name of tbe donor, and when the whole
family party is assembled, the presents are
distributed around tbe room according to
their labels amid joyful acclamations and
congratulations. A more sober scene
succeeds, for the mother takes this occa
sion te say privately to the daughters,
and the father to the sens, what has been
observed most {praiseworthy and what
most faulty in their conduct. Formerly,
and still in acme of the smaller
villages of North Germany, the presents
made by all the parent* were sent to some
one person, who, in high buskins, a white
robe, a mask, and an enormous flux wig
becoming the bugbear of children, known
as Kneeht Rupert, goes from house to
house, is received by the parents with
great pomp and reverence, calls for the
children, and bestows the intended gifts
upon them according to the character
which he hears from tho parents after se
vere inquiries. A beautiful poem of Re
bel, Chrint Haum, colebratees the Ger
man ceremonies on Christmas eve.—lt is
an old Swedish tradition, preserved in the
history of Ola us, archbishop of Upsal,
that at the festival of Christmas the men
living in the cold northern parts are sud
denly and strangely metamorphosed into
wolves; and that a huge multitude of theiu
meet together at an appointed place dur
ing the night, and rage so fiercely against
mankind and other creatures not fierce by
nature, that the inhabitants of that coun
try suffer more from their attacks than
ever they do/rom natural wolves.—Christ
mas has always been at once a religious,
domestic, and merry-making festival in
England, equally for every rank and eve
ry age. Tha revels used to begin on
Christinas eve, and continued often till
Candlemas (Feb. 2), every day being a
holiday till twclvth-night (Jan. G). In
tho houses of the nobles a "lord of mis
rule,'' or "abbot of unreason" was appoint
ed, whoso office was "to uinki* tho rarest
pastimes, to delight the beholder," and
wlto*e dominion lasted from "All-hallow pi
eve" (Oct. 31) till Candlemas day Thely
larder was filled with capon*, hens, lur „
keys, geese, ducks, beef, mutton, pork, /
pios, puddings, nut, plums, sugar, and „
honey. The Italians have the following j
proverb: "lie has mere business than
English ovens at Christmas." The tenants (

i, To the surprise of tho moat sanguine
e friend of reform, and even to the
members of tbe ring thcinselven, thia
i. city, which wag calculated to returu
i- at least 40.000 against tbe proposed
- organic law, turned out of the old
i well-worn rut* and gave a majority
>r for the constitution, the figures
e amounting to nearly 34,000. Gigantic
e arrangement* to consummate fraud

'* Broad street ( Bunting's old tavern)'
'• and at the Columbian House, on the
n same street, above Arch. These men
' were paid S2O each, and operated
'• extensively in the Tenth, the Ninth,
r aud adjacent wards. They were
'* "heeled" by well known roughs of
e this city. Besides these foreign!
importations, the usual gangs of hoine
repeaters were deployed and remuue
' rated to the tunc of $lO, and then
[t corrupt Democratic inspectors of!
r election were purchased and the eutire
, machinery of impersonation, repeating,
r and false counting nnd the attendant
. wheels which work within each other
. set iu motion to overcome the tight
. vote that was expected from the
( State. The Police Department, a
u most valuable adjunct, was used as
, an assistant and it wss inutt*r of
n impossibility for a citizen to have

a Department which is another political

FLAG OF DISTRESS.
The letter of this functionary to the
Committee of Ways und Means, which
wu print this morning, is a confeit
I that tha national Treasury is ou the
verge of bankruptcy, ami an urgent
cry for help This to very different
J feast from that to which we were in
vited in the Presidential campaign.
What glowing pictures were then
. draw u of the soperahouuding resources
of the Government under Geueral
(■rant's Administration ! How in
cessantly were the people asked
whether by electiug a different Presi
dent they would bring on a financial
convulsion and put a stop to the rapid
• and glorious extinction of the public
, debt, or. by re-electing Graut, insure
i a continuance uf the same boasted
, prosperity ! And now, at the opening
ofthe first Congress after Grain's
second inauguration, we are officially
] iu formed that the Government i
.sinking every day more deeply in
Jdebt; that the vaunted policy of pay*
i iug off the debt at the rate ufa hull
, dml millions a year has l-eeti utterly
- and hopelessly abandoned ; and that
i barely to pay current expcnac* end
- make both ends meet Congress must
i- either increase the burden of taxes or
a authorize news loans, it is essy to
• conceive the outcry that would have
• been raise*! if this had ha|>|*ncd in
the first year of a Democratic Admin
• i>tration. With what noiay clamor
• would the contrast have ocon held tip
r between the prosperity that had gone
f out with General Grant and the pub
■ lie distress and bankruptcy that had
c come iu with his successor! It is true
" that the same calamities might have
r< overtaken us if we had a change of
1 Administration. They are the inevi
" table fruits of the ruinous policy that
has been pursued for the last four
" rears, and probably no wisdom could
1 have averted them. The only differ
y euce would have been a more atalea-
e > manlike application of remedies, aud
l ' a thorough change of policy.
According to Secretary Richard
| son's account of the situation, he is
tiding over present difficulties by
; drawing tipou the so-called reserve of
>l forty four millions, already reduced
„ to twenty six millions, aud the public
debt is heavily and rapidly increas
ing. The urgency of his wauts is so
a great that he presses for immediste
legislation, asking duties ou coffee aud
,f tea aud a higher tax ou spirits, lobar
ii co, gas. railway and steamboat re*
• ceipls, and express, insurance, and
telegraph companies. Congress is
h said to hesitate; which is nstural
■1 enough considering the boasts and
promises made iu the I'residcutial
r canvass With what face can the
• members go before the people next
• fall and solicit a re election aflei this
f tlagrant violation of pledges and dis
'. appointment of hopes ? So it is given
j out that they talk about retrenchment
,i aud curtailing expenditures. We
• have no faith that they will make any
1 substantial reduction. We shall have
either new taxes, new loans, or a bank

• Deplorable Condition of the
Treasury.
a Washington, December 12.—The
'1 desperate strait to which the mis
'o management of Secretary Richardson
v has brought the treasury is at last
• confessed. The secretary, seeing bis
• greenback reserve, whicn he is nut-
ting in circulation in violation of the
plain letter uf the law, dwindling day
by day, so rapidly that it is only
too easy to tell just how long the
balance wi!l last, comes to congress,
with an appeal for nurd taxte to
t . replenish his empty vaults. At the
t close of business at the treasury de
„ partment yesterday the outstanding
u circulation was over $373,000,000,
1 or $17,000,000 more than is autho-
J rized by law. m
pi The finances of the government
(.arc in such an unhappy plight that
c the treasurer's accounts [are over
-1 drawn in every direction, and there
c is not an available dollar in the
„ treasury outside of what is termed
e the reserves, except the gold. If all
, the disbursing officers should draw
i their balances, the government would
B ;go to protest fur want of currency;
, !nor would it fare much better if all
| its gold liabilities should be presented
for payment, including the January
coupons and the $20,000,000 of the
I loau of 1833, falling due on that date
, for which the fielders can demand
, coin insteud of the •'> per ccut. bonds
. provided for their redemption, if they
, I choose.
I Mr. Richardson is at tho end of his
t \tether. He must have more money
and the people must be taxed to
i furnish it. He wauls about $42,000,-
r 000 more of annual income, ho in
t forms the ways aud means committee,
t ami he proposes that it shall be raised
( by the restoration of taxes abolished
i as no longer needful and by the in
f crease of other taxes, reduced not
. long since, because they wero thought
i unueces-arily high. Tho tariff on tea
, and coffee lie wants restored; the tax
| on whisky increased ten cents n gal
; |on, and that on tobacco four cents a
pound. If this does not produce the
required amount be recommends the
, revivul of the tax on the gross receipts
- of tuilwuys and express companies
. and the whole of the former schedule
- B. Unless the bill which the comrait

A ourrrapomltnt oft be Inter Ocean,
writing from Salt l.nkc.auy* that ho
hud the plenaurc of hearing Mrs,
Ann Kiixa Wuhh Young, the nine
teenth atnl Inst wife of the Prophet,
Hrighitm Young, icpcut one ol the
.lectures she has prepared to deliver
in the Kaatern Mutes during the
coming winter. Th*subject was the
history of her life. Her manner wna
easy and giut-efti!, and the compose

reaped she compares favorably with
any of the popular bet ureases tliwt
aro now competing for huiiora in the
lecture field. Her intention la to
slatl very soon on a regular lecturing
tour, commencing witb the large
cities.
Mm. Young's suit fur divorce anil
aliinoney is it-sting quietly in the •
'l'hinl Judicial District Court, Judge
McKaau still reserving ltia decision
ou |H>iula of law. The compromise |
otli-inl by Brighatu was withdrawn j
when Judge Boremau ruled in hi*,
fuvor on the question of jurisdiction
nml lilt* not been again renewed. It
is ataleil that the Prophet it more an
tioyrd at her becoiuing a public
lecture** upon tho subject n| h-'t
I relationship with him, than alien
suit commenced. Mrs. Young it re
born in 18-W; autl was first married
when she was eighteen years of age
She lived with this husband three
vears, und had two boys to him.
From this husband she was divorced
by tho Probate Court,Brigham Young
and Daniel 11. Wells assisting her
She then lived with her mother iu
South Cottonwood and ul a meeting
there over which Brigham presided,
she noticed his eye her during
the whole service. When the meet
ing was over Brigham proposer) to go
home with her. Arriving at her
house Brigham |iro|n>ed to Iter fa*her
for his daughter in marriage, and to
avs her father and brotiier from ruin,
and being cut oil' from the church
•he married Brigham.
The ceremony was quietly perform
rd in the Holy Endowment House
by lleber C Kimball, the First
Councilor to the l'rts'uDnt, with
injunction* troui the Prophet to keep
it a secret Mrs Young make*
many tiieclueurvs concerning the;
Holy Kmlowioent House that are,
new to the outside world. After three
years of wedlock with the Prophet,
she separated, a* your readers have

Her story i one uf neglected love and

The statement Johu \V. Young made
to the New York Herald reporter,
of her having $3,000 per annum for
pin inouey, she emphatically deuies,'
I and avers that beyond monthly ra
lions of food of the commonest char
acter she received only S3O per year,
|in an older on the Cooperative store
' for her and her children's wearing

| jiarliality fur Amelia Kolsuu>,he savs
is it owiug to his fear uf her, she
{having a violent temper of which
lie stands in great dread. There
mav be something in this, but it lias
been said by {utrties familiar with
Brigham'* latnilies, that partiality
(or Amelia •is attributable to the
wonderful magnetic power she ex
erases over him, and not to any love
for her. It cannot be denied that, in]
every separation from her, the Pro
pbel is not well, and is ouly rest-red
by reluriiiug and living with her.
In Brighaui's public declaration* l>C{
has staled that he only, has sixteen
wives.
Mr*. Young declarea he ha* nine

fifteen are married to the Prophet for

in eternity. The children of then*
I four wives by llrigha.ii are also to

THK TKACHKIhS MISSION.
Too ninny of the young teacher* of the
present day, do not fully comprehend the
magnitude of the work in which they are
engaged. AI most every year wo hear of
teacher* having failed, and thi* tco, in
their first effort at teaching The cause of
these failure* are attributable In the main,
to the fact, that often young persons <re |
licensed to teach who, a* yet, have not ar-'
rived at that uge, where ron*on, and ripe
judgement take the place of the frivollics
which are innate in every being Sound
reason, and mature judgement, are the
most essential qualification* of u good
teacher, and thee sterling characteristic*,
are certainly not found in the young and
comparilively inexperienced. Some en
ter the profession of leaching, actuated by
no other motive than the gaining of the
remuneration it offer* ; while other*, more
concientiout than their sinecure brothren.
enter it with a view of doing good, and
llio last named class, constitute our re
spected and most successful teacher*. The
mission of the teacher i* at once broad and
comprehensive, and whoever faila to see
this grand truth, is ignorant of the first
principles which govern our secial rela
tions. ltcinove the honest, and conscien
tious tcuchor from our midst, and nil tho
agencies that ingenuity can devise and
combine, can not replace hi* usefulness.
People, generally speaking, lake a 100
superficial view of the work which teach
ing necessitates, and hence, tho disappro
bation which usually follow* tho ellbrts of
good and honest- tlieacher*. If people
were half as much interested in the wcl
furo of their children, u* they are in their
unjust efforts to establish certain arbitra
ry restrictions, which, if recognixed,
would limit the power of ihc tercher, and
make him but little better than a menial
in their hands, the number of good tench- (
er* would be greatly augmented, and socie
ty at large, corres|>ondingly benefited. |
The teacher, stands in the same relation
as a parent, and his duties are manifestly
greater, since upon him depends not only
tho mental training and disciplining of
the young, to fit them for the various busi- i
net* duties of life, but what is pre-emi- ,
nenlly grander, the training <>f their mor
al nature*, so as to 111 them for the great 1
life-work, before them—tho preparation i

A writer to The World toys:
The barren, ironies* plaint of the far
West are st this time invested with a sin
gular and profound interest to the man of
science.
Within a few years nomereus eenu-leiios
of tho extinct inhabitants that roamed
over these now arid plain* thousands of
years ago have been brought to light by
the various exploring expedition*. We
regard with a sen of reverential awe the
j ancient remains dug up from the ruins of
K.une and the Holy Land, and view with
a sort of vague wonder tho remarkable
jeilies among the luxriant forests Of Central
. America, yet these wonderful old inhab
itants of Colorado, Wyoming, and Dakota
i were dead and buried untold age* before
the people who conceived these ruins had
mi existence We 11 stow the highest
i honors of literature en the histeriant of
our own time, as Motley and Bancroft,
j'y ct the period of human history is hut a
Jay compared with the innumerable age*
of the past with which the geologist has
I to deal.
It i> the province of the geologist to re
c-ontirut-t psst worlds and to rrpcople
l lit-in with the ancient inhabitants; to cov
er the surfaee a ilh the original tea*, lakes,
mountains, and forests. This i* wnat
Lysll o aplljr cells the charm ef ditcov
ery, and with a true enlhu*iam he quotes
the beautiful sentiment of the historian
Nickuhr , "He who call* what has vanish
ed back again into being enjoy* a bits*
like that of creating."
One of the most remarkable renult* ofj
tho United State* Geological Survey, un-j
der my charge during the past season, j
an* the disCo* rry by Professor Cope, in j
the "Bad Lands" of Colorado, of one of
these wonderful graveyards ola long-past j
period, distinct from that of Wyoming, {
aad coiiUininßlhe o*seou remains oftgreat {
population of beast* of totally different
species and even order* from those of the
latter age and region. They resemble |
more t.early those of the White Kiver of ]
| Nebraska, but many have been obtained j
by I'rofcseor I -;• tint known there or
iel*< where. Mo far he ha* proven the ei
, istence of more than IUO species, some rep
resented by thousand* of individuals.
.Of these at least seventy species are new |
-to science. They range from the liu of
the niule t • nearly that of the elephant;!
• ixueti only are reptiles.
Many forms of insectivorous animal*
related t > the mole, and of very small ixe
have been procured. The delicacy and
minuteness qf these f-t*il* is rurpriting
Drawing animals, or rodents, left nu
merous remains of eighteen specie*, some
not larger than a domestic mouse Home
wefo lb# ptedocrsM.r* of the rabbit*,'
-•tber* t>: squirrels, ai.d others af mice.
Of cloven-tooted quadruped* • great
many tpecie* have been found. Notne
were nearly interim JiaU- between the deer
and tbe bog in structure. Like the latter
they bad no horn*. They were about a*
large a* sheep Others were about tbe
six# of gray squirrel*, being the ma!!e*t
of lb it clax* of animal* ever discovered
Several specie* of horses were living dur
ing the tatue period, at it psoren by ihe
hone* and teeth which have been discov
ered. Their relative, the rhinoceros,
abounded in Colorado in former days, no 1
less than seven specie* having bi-cn pro
cured by l*refes*-ir Cope. One ot the
crimen* is a perfect skull, with teeth
< i-mplcte, and coveted with the moat like
cry kUlisation seen in the mos* agate. But
the most remarkable monster* of tbe past
who.-- existence ha* been disclosed by tbe
present survey are a series of horned *|>e
ciea related to the rhinoceros, hat |K**o*t
ing some features in which, according to
Professor Cope, they resemble the ele
phant They stood high on the fig* and
had short feel, but possessed osseous
horn* in pair* on different part* of the
head. One of tbe largest species had a
' huge hern over each eye, while another
had one on each side ot the nose, and
more than a foot in length, resembling on
1 the back part ofthe head the ox, etc. A
> third one or larger sixe than the last had
1 rudiments! born* on tbe r.osc. Still anoth
, er was about a* large as the elephant. It*
'cheek bone* were enormously ct
', panded, and Ka koriL were flat. A fifth
\ specie* had triangular horns, turned out
i ward. The first .mentioned species has
■ been named fiy Professor Cope uiicbasil
ou* ophryas. and the others have been
placed in a new genu*. It is claimed by
- Pre finer Cope thatf their structure dii
prove* entirely the statement of a recent
'writer, that the presence of horn* in pairs
>* an indication of relationship to the ru
minating animal* ;Oten, Ac.,) for these
beast* are quite near the rhinoceros.
Carnivorous specie* were not rare in,
this ancient family, and served as now to
•■lieck the too rapid increase. Of the four-,
teen specie* known there were tiger cat*,(
, dogs, byaenodons, and the tomareto*. a!
new genus found by Prof. Cope. This
' resembles a dog, and was as Urge a* the
black bear but was much more carnivor
jousinils prupensitc* ; hyaenodon* were
ua large and had many flesh teeth ; while
sonic of the rat* had remarkably long
, laninooreyo teeth. In a new species,
jthe sixe of panther, these teeth greatly.
I resembled those ot a shark.
The reptile* embrace turtles lixards,
and snakes, the last two orders discovered
for the first time in this formation in
America.
All of the*# curious extinct lorm* of
life will be carefully described for the
•eventh annual report of the geological
! survey of the under the De
partment of the Interior, and in the quar
to erie full illustration* will be made ot
all the new ipeciet Professor Cope ha*
al ready obtained fr< m the ancient era and

on this continent, as well a* thai of ether
regions oflho earth, will be made much

A PROPHECY OF SCIKNCK
Prof. Alexander Winchell's lecture at
the CoOfierjlnstitute, was entitled "dimp
les of tho Futuro." Having in his previ
ous iecluius 'vhown tho probable origin
1 and formation o the earth and the worlds
that make up the universe, ho in this lec-
ture described the final end of this world
as fotrshadoWed by the - results of *< iefl
title research, Ilis argument was that
the planets were eventually precipitated
Into the tun.
The cuuiwU, he mid, wero winding up
their raro#r faler and fatter, and in the
end will be precipitated into the tun. Il
hat been laid thai there it a continual
rain • f particle* upon the tun, and that by
their impart |U beat ii kept up. Itul if
ihUwattha cate, tba matt of tha tun
would ha increased, which la not thown to
ha a fact; again, thaia failing masse*
would not he anough to kaap up that heat.
The returning pariodt of the comata art
growing thortar ; tiny always coma hack
a Httla too toon. Tha earth it shortening
ita year and drawing nearer to tha tun.
All the planrtt are plowing their way
through a resitting medium, and yaartago
it began to be calculated what would hatha
and of that reaialanee. We have sbuu
dant evidence of that retltianea. It ia
well deiiieutiralad that the light from tha
tun it propagated in tba form of undu la
tionii. Tha light of aach alar hat trembled
along lit path on |the wingt of ether ia
tome rata* lor 70,000 yean. Through tha
retitunca of thla ><a< eedingly tenuous
fluid, ail the plancta of our soitr system
are destined to he precipitated into the
tun and heroine one totally refrigaratad
That is the result toward which nil these
activities are leuding. It seem* as theugh
all this wa> but a *eries of incident* to
ward* the attainments of an ultimate
equilibrium. All the sure have their own ,
proper motion, some approaching each
other, others separating. It is said that
our system is approaching the constella
tion Hercules. The conclusion is obvious
that if all these sun* are executing their
movements around centers of gravity,
through this resitting medium, they will
ultimately bt precipitated upon these cen
ter*. The evidences are thai our sun is
moving iu an orbit so large that it will
taka Ih.UUU.UUU years to go over it once. It
has bean shewn that tbera was a begin
ning within finite time, and wa have
traced a continual progress. Therefore
there must boa determination within fin
iilie time, however vast the period may
be. This is one of the cycles of matter,
and it seems piobable that when this end
of the period is reached, when the forces
of matter stop, the arm of the Almighty
will again be stretched eul, calling again
into motion all these materials forming
new worlds and system*.

The work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources for carrying it on to

None af tho original stereotype plates
have been used, but every page has been

greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
