Whether we give rein to our thoughts. kind. suffer them to wander back through the mis ty mates of the past, to the time when "old night," wrapped in it sable shroud, sat en throned in his gloomy hells, and waved, his duiikv sceptre over the wild realms of chime, or glance down the "long vista" of the fit tnre, and contemplate the "teal conaomina thin of nll things," we are struck with awe at the power of that voice, at whose sound worlds sprang into existence. Nature is beautiful. yet before man's sin had dyed t his lialdtatilin with guilt, she boasted of greeter perfectio n. and more glarious be au ty than now aderns her. Then the curse of sin had not stained the vine clad hills of earth, and one eternal spring smiled upon her flowery plain..

Externally the coin is that which is coined at the mint. But the (mud is perpetrated in the following ingenious manner : The coin is placed on $ lathe and matte to revolve. A keen narrow chisel is set against the edge, and us the eoin^revolves the chi sel turns out the inside of it and pone,• trutes nearly to the centre, leaving but two thin shells, as it werc,coonected at the centre.

These practices are of course obvious to any pemon who ehosos to ex amine co!ns presented.• The way to stop this practice is for every shopkeep er and dealer of every kind to reject all COlgli which have been mutilated in the least dogree, This would leave such coins-in the hands of persons who were gnilly of ilia mutilation, and be an effectual bar to the rascality which wasfimeant to be p_riu..ticed by the clip ping.--Patriot & ilnio*.
