ANuar to atop me to halloo at me on the
street: Why should he single me out from the
.throng? Why did I not act as I have seen
many do? Why not jostle hint rudely, taunt
him, scorn his pass a counterfeit upon
him, or pass him uy unheedingly ? 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. Try it.— ,Waverly Magazine.

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."

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

"Because, she mid yesterday, that she wish

That was enough. The gentleman's hat

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

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

why did you ask that question,"
"Because," replied the boy, "mother said
the other day that you were next door to a

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."

A RIDS:IN Fling lIIETFIERA OF PARIS.
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

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.

GEOLOGY-NO S.
The practical uses of Geology, In Its con-
nection with agriculture and the.mechaniewl
arts,lurre biers refilled p. Am a soienti it
has many claims. Next to Astronomy, It is
the most. suplime artiOngihq ecteptr, it does
not, like Astronomy, take a dew of other
planets and systems. It does not tpeassuret the
magnitude and distance of du son tees our
planet, or the dheinical sad revehrtions' of
other planets around It. - 't `does ili `Quire
into the causes of aclillsee,
seasons, the succession of day and *Mond
many other phenomena, illustrated by the
sublime and interesting science of Astionoity.
But it domieontemplate and explain the grand
est features upon air earth. 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

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 .
The flinging was fine. Like the crowning
stone of the monument, it was necessary to
the completion, of, the grand whole, and was
tghly appreciated by all.
