He always obeyed his parents, no matter how absurd and unreasonable their demands were ; and he alwayi learn ed his book, and never was late at Sabbath-schooL He would not play hookey, even when his soberjudg ment told him it was the most prat able thing he could do. None of the other boys could ever make that boy out he acted so strangely-He wouldn't lie, no, matter how convenient it was: He just said it was wrong to lie, and that was stifficient for him. And he was so honest that he was simply ri diculous. The curious ways that Ja cob had surpassed everything. Hp wouldn't play marbles on Sunday, he wouldn't rob birds' nests, he wouldn't give hot pennies to organ-g rinders'' monkeys ; he didn't seem to take any interest in-any kind of rational amuse ment. So the other boys used to try to reason it out and come to ,an un derstanding of him, but they couldn't arrive at any satisfactory conclusion; as I said before, they could only fig ure out a sort of vague idea that he was " afflicted," and so they took him under their protection, and never al lowed any harm to come to him.' . This good little boy read all the Sunday-school booksthey wore his greatest delight. This was the whole secret of it. He believed in thegood little boys they put in the Sunday school books . ; lie had every confi dence in them. <Ho longed to come across one of them alive, once ; but he never did. They all died before his time, may be. Whenever he read about a: particularly good one, he turned over quickly to the end to see what became of him, because he want ed to travel thousands of miles and gaze on him ; but it wasn't any use ; that good little boy always died in the last chapter, and , there we, a pic ture of the funeral, with 'all his. rela- Lions and the Sunday-school children standing around the grave in pante, loons that were too short, and bon- nets that were too large, and every , body crying into handkerchiefs that had as much as a yard and a-half of stuff in them. He was always head- - ed off in this way. He never could see,one of those good little boys, on account of his always dying in the last chapter. 7 Jacob had a noble ambition to be put in n. Sunday-school book. He wanted to be put in; with pictures representing him standing on the door-step giving a penny to a poor beggarwomon with sil children, and telling her to spend itreely, but not to be extravagant, because extrava gance is a sin ; and pictures of him magnanimously refusing to tell on the bad boy who always lay in wait for him around the corner; as he came from school, and welted him over the head with a lath, and then' chased him home, saying, "Hi ! hi !" as he proceeded. That was the ambition o f young Jacob 13livens. He wished to be put in a Sunday-school book. It made him feel a little uncomforta ble sometimes when he reflected that the good little boys always died. He loved to live, yon know, and this was the most unpleasant feature about being a.Sunday-school book boy. He knew it was not healthy to be good. ' He knew it was more fatal than con sumption to be so supernaturally good as the boys in the books , were ; ho knew that none of them had over been able to stand it long, rule it pain , ed him to think that if they. put him inn book'he Wouldn't' ever see it, or even if they did get the book out be fore he died, it wouldn't be , popular without any picture of -his funeral in the back part of it. It couldn't be much of j* Sunday-school book that couldn't -tell about the advice he gave to the community when he was dy ing.: So, it last, of course, he had to make up his mind to do the best he could under the cirermistinto live right, and hang on as long as_he could, and have his dying speech' all 'ready when his time came. But somehow, nothing aver went right with this good little boy ; noth ing ever turned out with him the way EI!MMOMO '. 1!-1:- ■ L. 1 - -14 =EIRE it. turned out with the • , , is ,the looks. They Ways , good tune, and the bad . , ", ya , had gte broken , legs ; but in cue /there 'was a screw loose soine*henc, and it all happened jest the •*ntlier vay when found 'Wake ''!itealing apples,sand wentlmdet - the,'lree r to read to him about the badtiby , tibo fell out of `a nei,ghbor'a apge tree, and broke his - mta,:Jim fell out bf the tree too, but he fell on him and broke his arm, and Jim wasn't hurt at all _Jacob couldn't understand that.' There wasn't anything in the, books' like it.. • And once, when' sonic bad boys pushed to blind man over-in the mud, and Jacob ran to help him' up and receive his blessing ? the blind man did not glie hileany Wising • at. all, but.whacked him over ‘ the read with his stick and said he • would like to catch him shoving hiin again und then pretending to help him up; This was not in accordance with- any of the books. 'Jacob looked them all over to. me. • • Ono thing that 4=13 wanted.to do was, to find a lame dog that hadn't any place to stay, and was hungry and persecuted, and bring him home, and pet him and haie that dog's im perishable.gratitude. at last he found one, and was happy_;.and he brought him home and fed him, but when he was goinl to pet him, the dog flew at him tore all the clothes off him except thOse that were in front; and made a. spectacle of 'him that was astonishing. He examined authorities ; but he could not under stand the matter. It was of the same breed of dogs that was in the books, but it acted very differently. What ever this boy did, he got into trouble. The very things the boys in the books got rewarded for turned out to be about the moat unprofitable things he could invest in. Once when he Was on his way to Sunday-school he Saw some bad boys starting off pleasuring in a sail-boat. He was filled with conetenuttiou, be cause he knew from his reading - that boys who went sailing on Sunday in variably got drowned. So horan out on a raft to warn them; but a log turned with him and slid him into the river. A man got him out pret ty soon, and the doctor pumped the water out of him and gave him a fresh start with his bellows, but he caught cold and lay sick abed nine weeks. But, the most unaccountable thing about it was that the bad boys in the boat had , a good time all day, and then reached home alive and well, in the most surprising manner. Jacob Blivens said.there was nothing like these things in the books. He• was perfectly dumbfounded. When he got-well he was., a little discouraged, but he resolved to keep on trying,. anyhow. He knew that so far hisexperiences wouldn't do to go in-a book, hut he hadn't yet reac.h ed the allotted term of life for good little boys, and he hoped to be. able to make a record yet, if he could hold on until his time was fully up. If everything else failed, he hild his dy ing speech to fall back on. - He examined his authorities, and found that it was now time tol. go to sea as a cabin boy. He called on a ship captain and made his applica tion, and when the captain asked for his recommendation ho proudly drew out a tract and pointed to the words: "To Jacob Blivens, from his affec tionate- teacher." But the captain was a Coarse, vulgar map ; and he said, " Oh, that be Wowed ; that wasn't any proof thiit he 'knew how to wash dishes or handle a slush buck et, and he guessed he didn't want_ him." This was altogether the most extraordinary thing that had ever happened to Jacob in all his life. A compliment from a teacher, on a tract, had never failed to move the tender est emotions of ship captains and open the way to all offices of honor and profit in their gift—it never had in any book that ever Itti had read. He could-hardly believe his ,senses. This boy always had a hard time of it. Nothing ever came Out accord ing to the authorities with him. At last, one day, when he was around hunting up bad little boys to admon ish, he found ii lot of them in the old iron foundry fixing up a little joke on fourteen or fifteen dogs, which they had tied together in long procession, and were going to ornament with empty nitro-glycerine cans made fast to their tails. Jacob's heart 3vas touched. He sat down on one of those cans—for he never minded grease when duty was befoie him— and he took hold of the foremost dog by the collar, and turned his reprov ing eye upon wicked Tom Jones. But just at.that moment Alderman Mc- Welter, full of wrath, stepped in.: All the bad boysran away ; but Jacob Blivens rose in Conscious innocence, and began one of those stately little Sunday-school book speeches, which always commence with. "Oh, sir I" in dead opposition to the fact that, no boy, good or bad, ever starts a re mark with. "Oh,..air I" But the Al derman never waited to hear thereat. Ho took Jacob Blivens by the ear,• and turned him around, and hit him a whack in the rear .with the flat of his hand ; and in an instant that good little boy shot out through the roof and soared awdy towards the sun,. with the fragments of those fif teen dogs. stringing after him like the tail of a kite. And there wasn't a .sign of that Alderman or , that old iron foundry left on the face of the earth ; and as for young Jacob Bliv ens, he never got a chance to make his last dying speech after his trouble fixing it up, unless he made it to the birds ; because,\ although the bulk of him came down all right in a tree-top in an adjoinhig county, the rest of him was apportioned around among four townships, and so they had to hold five' inquests on him to and out whether he was dead or not, and how it occurred. You never saw a boy scattered so. Thus.periahed the good littl boy who did: the best he could, but didn't come out-according . to the books. Every boy ', ever did as he did prospered except him; His , case is truly remarkablit. will probably never Unaccounted ton-- ; The Galaxy. • "Oa! my dear: child,- how came on so trot?"

The Sigillaria when grown in a large tree, is' from two to 'three and a-half feet in diameter, and from forty to seventy-five' feet, high.

':Silence reign ed triumphantly, only broken by the singing winds discoursing soft, melo -1 dious music through the dense caval catinof • trees, which in after years went to make vim= enduring beds of coal.

Still on, on, on , the hurricane swept with unabated fury, till the once beau tifal forest was laid' waste with its wrath, and havoc reigned supreme. No pen can describe, no pencil paint the, scene. After this silence reigned ,again for a time. Then'thel t internal :fire of the earth, which had been se eretly working for ages, began to man ifest itself. Nearer and nearer it came rolling on, rocking the earth -like a cradle,-till at last, with a crash that shook the earth ; from center to cir cumference, the ground opened, and the fire burst forth, throwing up.mol ten matter. Volcano after -volcano emitted forth its burning lava. Earth quake after earthquake heaved up chains of mountains; making valleys, gorges, ravines and hollows--and en wilting forests in the mighty wake. These floods. and tornadoes did not all come at, once, but long intervals intervened, between which the drift swept to and fro, carrying vegetation with it and delxisiting it in, various places along the earth. The alluvium washed over it, indlogether with the earthquakes, which also came at in tervals, and the sinking process, bu ried it deep in the bowels of the earth. Then came other drifts, and vegeta tion was agehindepesited and covered over by:alltrvium, and so On till the whole vegetable kingdom wanengulf ed in 'various. strata within the bosom or the mother earth.

He maintains that all crystals of iron are of the form of a double pyramid, the axis of which is „varia ble, as compared with_the size Of the base. The crystals of the cearser kinds, as compared. with those of the fliiist qualities of .crystalline iron, are of about t Nice •the height. The more uniform the grain, the smaller - the crystals; and the flatter the pyramids which form each single element, the better is the quality, the greater is the cohesive force, and the finer . the surface of the iron . These pyramids become flatter as the proportion of imrboi,i contained in-the steel decrees es: -gensequently, in cast iron and in the crudest kinds of hard 'steel, the crystals approach 'more the cu bical l'arni, froth which the • octahe drim proper is derived; and the op posite extreme, or wrought iron, has its pyramids flattened down to pars, tell - steams or leaves, which is their arrangement produces whatis called the We of iron. The highest quali ty of steel has all crystals in par allel positions, each crystal filling the interstices formed ;by the angular sides of its neighbors: • The crystals stand with their axes in the direc tion of the pressure or percussive forie exerted upon them in working; .consequently, the - fracture idaws the 'sides or sharp corners of the parallel crystals. In reality, good steel shows ;when examined under the: micro scope, large g roups of fi ne crystals like the points - of needles—all ar ranged in the same direction and parallel REMAILFABLE L.3111',3113E. —TN() ‘ great Humboldt. - salt hear Amami,' Nevada, is desciibed.by a.

A FRIEND who has a dog, rained in the family as a pet, relates a Strange 'incident of the power to charm or fascinate,, common to reptiles, but rather extraordinary omong cinadn peas, Recently the Kitchen - girl saw this dog seated on his Mudge, with one fore foot lifted, eying a rat under a cupboard, in some room connected with the house. The rat also had his eyes fixed on the dos:. and after watching them a few. minutes, the girl, thinking it strange, Called some of the family : who, intereited. ,to sea 'hoiv this anions circdmstance would turn out, stood by. For half of hour these animals maintained the same Position; being six or eight feet apart. At the end, the rat, slowly, and trend - > being with fear, began to' approach the dog, their eyes still liked on each other kip, _Continuing to - creep kip, when within a Couple of feet tse dog rens_ and catching the rift quickly disposed of him.
