Christian ity does not teach that, civilization dues not impart that, civility forbids it, society recoils from flagrant arts, but encourages t•o often uncivil deeds towards these unfortunate crea tures. Civility is courtesy, urbanity, and as long as our language shall exist, these synon yms will remain. General Washing,ton remarked that he would never allow any one to surpass him in courtesy, thus he answered those who were amazed at his returning'the bow of a colored person. Civility , does not consist in bows and scrapings, and smiles of adoration to friends and benefaciors. The selfish, unfor tunate and poverty-stt icken are all to be ob jects of this refining trace. The poor you have always with ycu, you see and hear them daily. If you have nothing substantial to be stow, no mite to cast in, be civil, take pains to act and speak in a manner to heal their mis ery. Restrain your blows, cuffs, sneers, and coarseness.. Lay an d embargo on hatred, mal- ice and envy. The sons and daughters of poverty in this country have a happy way of uniting beggary and urbanity, which we find at variance in so many others. To them it may be a matter of interest to deport themselves thus, but we never object to a hearty "Thank you!" or a sincere "God bless you! The pleasant look, the frank excuse are improvements on the frown and imposition. A gentle closing of the door-or turning on. the heel are professed ly more humane than a vicious shrug or a wicksd "Be-gone!" and an explosion 'of the door. H. S. BENNER You need not be exact in motives of civil - ity, they will be registered elsewhere. Re member this one, however :—"for if ye love them which love you what reward have you ? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others ?—Do not even the pub licans the same." Charity is a virtue, as is civility ; tione lose by it, none need fear its obligations, ; they are interest bearing bonds, and have proven to some more valuable than seven-thirties. Some one says that civility is the cheapest coin in circulation, and is never at .a discount.

It is always well to avoid saying everything that is improper; but it la especially so beiore children. And here parents, as well as others, are often in fault. Children have as many ears as grown persons, and they are general ly more attentive to what Is said before them. What they hear therare very apt to p repeat ; and not having sufficient knowledge of the world to disguise anything, it if generally found "that children ' and fools speak ,the truth." • See that boy's eyes glisten while you are speaking of a neighbor in a language you would not wish to hive repeated. He does not fully understand what you mean; but he will remember every word; and it will be strange if he does not cause you to blush by the repetition. A gentleman was in the hibit of calling at a neighbor's house, and the lady had always ex pressed to him great pleasure from his calls. One day, just after she had remarked to him, as usual, her happiness .from his visit, her lit tle boy entered tue room. The gentleman took him on his knee and asked : "Are you not glad to see me, George ?" "No, sir," replied the boy. "Why not, my little man ?" he continued. "Because mother don't want you to come," said George. Here the mother became crimson,:and look ed daggers at her little son. Bat be law no thing, and therefore replied,— "Because, she mid yesterday, that she wish ed that old bore wouldn't call here." That was enough. The gentleman's hat was soon in requillition, and he left with the impression that "great is the truth, and ft will Another little child looked sharply in the face of a visitor, and being asked what she meant by it, replied,— "I want to see if you had a drop in your eye ; I heard mother say you had - frequently." A boy once asked one of his father's guests who it was that lived next door to him, and when he heard his name, inquired if he was not a fool. "No my little friend," replied the guest, "be is not a fool but a very sensible man. But why did you ask that question," "Because," replied the boy, "mother said the other day that you were next door to a fool ; and I wanted to know who lived next door to you." SIGNING THE PLEDGE—IF HIS ow WAY. A man long noted for intemperate habits was induced by Rev. John Abbott to sifrk the pledge, 'in his own way," which he did In these words: "I pledge myself to drink no intoxicating drinks for one year." Few believed he would keep it ; but at the end of the year he again. appeared at a temper ance meeting, without having touched a drop. "Are you going to sign again ?" asked Mr. Abbott "Yea," replied be, "if I can 411 it ln my own way." And accordingly he signed the pledge for ninety-nine years. "And if," said he, "I live to that time it is my intention to take off a life lease." A few days after, he called on the tavern keeper, who welcomed him back to his old hannt& "Oh, landloril," said Le as it in pain, "J, have such a lump on my side." "That's because you have stopped drink ing," said the landlord. "You won't live long if you keep on." "Will drinking take that lump sway ?" "Yes, and if you don't drink you'll soon have a lump on the other side. Come let's have a drink together," and he poured out two glasses of whisky, "I reckon Iwon't drink," said the former inebriate, "especially, if keeping the pledge will bring another lump, for it isn't very hard to bear, after all," and with this he drew the iun•p—a roll of greenbacks—from his side pocket, and walked off, leaving the landlord to his reflections. A VERY worthy fisherman by the name of Grizzle, was drowned some time since, and all search for his body proved unavailing.— After it had been in the water some months, however, it was discovered floating on the surface, and taken to the shore, whereupon Mr. Smith was dispatched to convey the in telligence to the ranch afflicted widow. "Well, Mrs. Grizzle, we have found Mr. Grizzle's body." "You con't says so !" "Yes we have —the jury has sot on it, and found it full of eels !" "You don't say Mr. Grizzle's body is Pall of eels ?" "Yes it is, and we want to know what you will have done with it ?" "Why, how many eels do you think there in him?" "Why, about a busheL" Well, then, I think you had better send the eels up to the house, and set him again."

But a few of the Americans who visit Paris know of the opportunity which may be offered them to visit the very extensive sewerage of Paris and examine its system. Receiving cards of invitation, we stationed ourselves nea r , the tower of St. Jacques, at an iron trap-door, • and the party were soon called upon to de scend. Not knowing of the modus oper and{ of getting into these dark regions below, we all felt as if we were going to "take a leap in the dark," but what was our surprise to find elegantly fitted up carriages or cars, lighted by four large globe lamps on each corner. These cars contain twelve persons each, and there were five of them, making sixty persona, which is the limit to the number invited at one time. Of course our ride was limited to the large tunnel or main sewer, which was abouttwenty feet high and fifteen wide. Tin cars run on a six feet guage track, and are pushed on a down grade by two men for each car. The water sewerage or drain is below, and is from six to eight feet deep, so that small boats can be towed all the way, and has down grade enough to make quite a current. We rode by this train of cars across the Boulevard Sebastopol to the head of Rue Rivoli, along side of the palace and 'Tuileries gardens, to the place Concord, a distance of more than three miles, where we disembarked into boats and sailed under the whole length of Rue Royale. coming out by the side of the Church of Made line. All along the main channel are open ings, or trap-doors, covered with gratings at the head of each cross -street, which are mark ; eci by the names of the streets on the aide of the tunnel. By this means complete vantila• Lion is secured- On the top of the tunnel are two large iron pipes, in which pass through the freshwater supply tor the city—one from the aqueducts and artesian wells, the other from the water pumped up from the river Seine. There are also three lines oftelegraph wires inclosed in lead pipes. It is well known that the great sewers are built for the undergonnd transportation of troops in the time of an In surrection or war. By this means Napoleon can transport, secretly, troops from one part of the city to the other, suddenly appearing from the ground at almost any point. The telegraph would also be serviceable on such occasions. Besides this navigable sewer ; which is fitted up especially for pleasure trips, there are smaller sewers running under twen ty-five of the principal streets, and the whole length of the sewerage of Paris, large and 5m..11, including that under construction, I was informed, is over three hundred miles in length, and by these means the drainage of Paris is effected on a magnificent scale, and far surpasses the subterranean wonders of an cient Rome.— Correspondence Cleveland Herald. The ROCKING STONE AT BARBS, Mesa.—A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, says : "In the Northern part of the town of Barre, is a natural curiosity of the first order, mentioned, perhaps, in some old forgotten books of New England antiquities, and called indiscriminately, Cradle Rock and Rocking, Stone, in common parlance and on the local maps. It is certainly entitled to the former :name; perched -on a high ledge, which lifts it above the neighboring trees, passengers along more thaw one of the roads in the vicinity may note its close resemblance to a cradle-4 cra dle, too, of the old-fashioned sort, which may be supposed to date back to the time of Noah. The rock forms the body of the cradle, and upon one end of this, high up and our of hu man reach, is balanced the other lesser rock, which supplies the top of the cradle. How the huge mass got up so high, and why it was left there, is a question that must remain un answered, unless Prof. Agassiz. provoked by unscientific description, comes up he and solves the problem by glacial explanation. I have never visited the rock with a tape mess ure, and cannot give you its dimenaiona with any degree of accuracy ; but it is a prodigious masa of granite, and by its singular formation, quite awe-inspiring to the beholder who looks up at it from the base. Tradition says that it used to deserve literally its popular title of rocking stone, being swayed by the wind or the hand in a gentle motion, such as might have rocked some giant antediluvian to sleep, but that certain Puritan vandals, thinking anything that could rock might be tipped ov er, and bent perhaps on destroying what might be a witness to some infidel seientifle theory of creation, hitched all the oxen in town to the stone, and urged them with goad and shout to pull it over. • The grim old phe nonomen resisted all their hauling and prying —but possibly in grief at their irreverence, has never rocked since." A Rana Gem. —The largest topaz known has been deposited in the Bank of France. It is of Brazilian origin, measures seven and one quarter inches in length, by fimr and three •fourth inches in width, and about the same in thickness. It weighs more than three and a half pounds. However valuable this stone may be from its brilliancy and size, it is still more so from its artistic merit, as on one face is engraved a half-length Christ breaking bread at the Last Supper.

It explains, so far as explanation can be given, thq original formation of the earth--the varioni benyul alone, and more gradual' changes It lies suf fered by volcanoes, earthquakes, and the luind of time, together with its present structure, as exhibited in mountains, hills and valleys. It investigates and explains the elements of soils, rocks. and mountains, and illustrates the manner in which rocks are piled upon rocks and mountain overtops mountain, un til they rise amidst the clouds in the peaks of the Andes, Himmalaya, and other mountains upon our globe. By, the investigations of Geologists, it has been discovered that amidst the wild con Anion and apparent disorder of the crumbling ledge, the threatening precipice, and the towering mountain,-there is a striking regularity ; which affords the most convincing evidence that there is a Hand which weighs mountains in scales and hills in a balance, and takes up the isles of the sea as a very little thing. In connection with the grandeur of the sci ence of Geology, it is remarked for its sim plicity. Notwithstanding the surpassing va riety as well as beauty and grandeur in moun tain scenery, and enchanting landscapes, the elements which enter into the conspotdtion *of our globe are few and simple; 'and, of course, readily recognized, and easily learned even by a child of nine or ten. Simple minerals, sometimes called the Geological Alphabet. are found, in nearly all the mountains, rocks, and soils, which appear under suchi beautiful va riety and richness upon our globe, most or all of which can be examined and collected by a walk or ride of two hours from the city of Philadelphia. How much more beautiful by penetrating still farther into the almost unex plored country. It, hence appears that by an excursion of pleasure, of rich and unalloyed pleasure, of a few hours, materials can be examined which represent' he elements of the Alps, the Andes, the Rocky, Himmalaya, and all other mountains upon the earth. May it notrwell be asked how the most exclusive 'de votee of pleasure can spend an hour more pleasantly ? The connection of Gnology with its sister science, Geography, not to mention Topogra phy, water - c ourses, engineering, agriculture, and various other sciences and arts, gives' it a ' strong and peculiar claim to an early place in the list of elementary studies. Even travels cannot be well understood without some knowledge of this science, so comm...n has it become for all travellers to give the natural features of the countries they describe, embra cing the strata rocks, the structure of moun tains, the nature of soils, and other appear ances, which it would seem must strike every unadulterated mind as among the first objects worthy of attention. Such being the grandeur, the simplicity, and the various practical uses of this science, it has been uniformly found, as might well be supposed, one of the most delightful studies which can be presented to the minds of child ren, whether in school or at home ; in proof of which may be mentioned the thousands of family and school cabinets which haveebeea collected within a year or two past, and 'al most exclusively by the hands of children. In proof of the same fact may be mentioned the increased pleasure, and now rapid im provement of children in all their otherstudies in school, and their amusements, and exercises at home. It is hence gratifying to know that the study of geology is becoming one of the most ele mentary., studies in the most elementary schools, in almost every section of our coun try. MAGNET. Lr:i»*r:11:1 :[u•:Y:l,tw:t~Zo~ One of the most pleasant little affairs of the season came off at Boyd a School-house on the 9th inst. It was a Sabbath School exhibi tion. This School has been for the last year ender the efficient superintendence of Mr. Reimenenider. Prosperity crowned the ex ertions of the workers in the good cause; the interest increased; the members multiplied; and the want of books began seriously, to be felt. So a plan was determined upon, which, by the individual efforts of the scholars, would procure the desired library. We may add that the affair succeeded beyond expecta tion, realizing the sum of twenty-seven dcil lars—an amount adequate to their present :Wants: But, to the exhibition. At an early hour crowds began to assemble, and long before the time for opening, the hoUse was literally jammed. So the audience was compelled to wait fbr a while. This interval though served to give those present a better opportunity of admiring the tasteful decoration of the roqm. But the long wished for moment arrived at last, and the curtain rose. A fitting ifttroduc- tion and greeting, entitled "Friends of the Cause," broke in sweet strains upon the ear. Then came Master) Sam, with his speech, "The Youthful Orsior," who being a good exemplidcaticm of his subject, received well merited applause. Following was the dia logue of "The Quiet Man," quite amusing, bat instructive, and 'rendered in high degree by the two lady performers. Afterwards, Bertie made her aPpearance in that, sweet lit tle piece which cannot fail to move the heart of any one who has ever experienced a sun . dermg of the tender ties of relationship, and home' associations. She certainly convinced us that—. 'Sbe loved it, abe loved it, and no one would daze To chide her far loving the• Old Arm Clink'" Again the air was made to resound with the mellowing strains of that soul-stirzin,g charm,' 4 `,Strike the Cymbal." The above may be taken as.examples of the evening's entertainment. The declamations of the little ones, as well .as those of the ler ger, were all so well delivered, that. It would be inappropriate to particularize, even if space permitted. Thedialogues, every one of Ahem replete with meaning and pleasantry, Were entered into in 'true spirit. - j .
