at Calcutta greatly lamented in 1847., The
oecond minister was'the.Rev. Peter Lorimer,
,now Professor of lEkebresi our Theologieal
College, andiathor of " The Life of Patrick
Hamilton." The third was the Rev. Josias
Wilson, an eminent and moat : suoceisful
Eiangelist, first .Droglieda f in Ireland,
then at Belfast, and thence removing to
River Terrace, London, where, after two
and,,,a2half-years.of remarkable spiritual
nmphs,.he died in the prime of his days,
sorely mourned. Twice, in the providence

at Aelfast,, and.next in Londbn. God has,

we have had, toiquickening in our midst,
which -`I feel pleasure in testifying has been
greatly promoted, (instrumentally,) by the

the. , solemnising influence which itlad on

upon us iry use. We must be courteous,

A Sabbath School Boy's Reply.
A correspondent of the Christian Times
records the following anecdote which was re
cently related in the John Street prayer
meeting in New York., .It was told with a
great deal• of spirit; and many an, eye bright
ened with tears and smiles during ihe re
oital
The speaker it seems was a man deeply
interested in 'Sabbath Schools, and while
crossing the ferry to attend one in Brooklyn;
he noticed a bright eyed boy with books in
his arms evidently going to a similar, place.
He began to ',converse with the boy, and,
finalry proposedthat he",should go mitn him
up to Harlem : 'Olds is a great •pleasure
sort. st• fe w miles outlofthe city:) 'He lOoked
at the man in surprise and said :
44 Sri ''did{ never - read*the'Command::
Monts ?"
" Commandments I wirlt, are they ?" said
the gentleman. • "
Well, sir, there is one which says,
Bemember the Sabbath" day to keep it
"
.
" Fttftt of that, n!,3' boy, Tql it not
be keeping it holy to go up, to,Harlem?""'
" No, sir, and Shall'. not go with you."'
Here the gentlemantook out a quarter , of
a= dollar - from his ' pooket; And 'to try Him
farther, Aaid," See here; my lad, won't you
gO With me, , if I will give you• this ?"
; "No sir, net if it were , twenty-five dol
tars But"—looking archly up into his face
- 1 ." I should like', that money, sir." • '
" What would, you do with it •
"There is to be a`ndisionary collection at
our school, to-day,
,and I want it for that".
The gentleman. to test him Stilt further,
again proptised that - he go'to Harlem, whe n '
if, would be , his, , and .then he could useit on
the eellectien‘day.
"No, air , " said the, boy, bringing down
his foot with great earnestness, " I shall not
go to Harlem. G-od` not bless money
got by Sabbath breaking. I would rather
you would keep
1 By this time the gentleman thought it best
to unveil himself. He made, inquiries rela
tive to the boy, and learned that he was a
son of intemperate.Parente ; in his early' life
he had been 'uttprly neglected. Btit he was
found out; by some of the beneVojent'So,oi
ieS of the city, kindly eared for, brought
into ' Sabo', thence 'to: Sabbath' School, and
by his teacher , led to Christ;
Whom to Marry.
When a young woman behaves to her
parents in a manner particularly tender, and
respectful, from principle as well as, nature,
there is nothing good.and gentle that may
not be expected from her; in 'Whatever COa•
dition she may,* placed. Were Ito advise
a friend as to his choice of a wife, my first
counsel would' be, '"'look out for one distin
guished for ber , . attention. and; sweetness, to
her parents."
*cientific,
Cosmical.
According to some of, our modern geolo
gists, our planet was once a melted mass of
rock, and melted because of the heakgener
a;ted by the chemical union and action of the
*tides of which it is '9 o S 3 Pcksiii. the
surface this .melted MaBEl cooled, a• crust
was formed, and. this constituted the.kranite
reek., By,the l cooling end consequent con
traction of, this,erust a pressure, was exerted•
on the melted interior, causing the upheaval
ci,tmolintains and the i butating forth of ; vol.
caoes. The.crust Of the.globe being com
paratively thin, the , cooling and contraction
going on, gre'at : changes would talre_ place;
oinetirees the bed of the ocean would be
elOnted and form'the dry land, and the dry
land would sink and forth the beds of the
oceans. - There ii'Velieved:to be indisputable
evidence that this has place, and it
can only be accounted for on the theory 'that
.earth is. A molten mess of rock,' with a
very thin ,cruet cooled the' outside. The
Mercmy ins thermometer, &buried in = the`
earth, will rise one degree for every fifty feet
of, descent after the first,fifty feet. ' At the
depth of fifty miles all known illubsiances will
melt. Volcanic eruptions, also,' present
strong evidences of the melted condition of
the interior of the earth. These volcanoes
ere produced by, the cooling and contraction
Of the crust of the earth on the 4interior. li
quid masses. Many •of these openings•
through the crust have been. very large.
There, is, a volcano, on , Owyhee,, one ,of: the.
Sandwich Islands, the crater of which is
aboutlhine miles wide.

Physiological Discove'rjr.
M. Flourens, the distinguished French
physiologist, and .Perpetual Secretary:olthe
Faris Academy of Sciences; has published
a work, in which he announces the discovery
,that the normal period. of the, life of, man is,
one hundred years. The grounds.on.sihich
he comes to, this new philosophic conclusion
may he briefly, etated. It is, we believe, a
fact in natural histury, that, the length ,O
each life is in exact ProPortinn;p
the period It is in gowisg.
_,Buffos; Nas
aware of this truth, and his observetions'led
him to conclude that the life in_different,
species -of animals is six or seven • times as
long as the period of groWth. Flon
rens,'frona his own
,obseriations, and those
of his predecessors, is of opinion that it may
be more safely taken at five times. This
period - consists in the union of, the bones to
their epiphyses; as long as the bones are not
thus united th 9 animal grows, and as soon
as the bones are united to their epiphyses
the animal ceases to grow. Now, in man,,
this union takes place, according to M. Mott
rens, at the , age of twenty; consequently,.
he ; proclaims that the natural duration of
man's life is five times twenty years.
Qeea,n Level.
The .popular notion which had do long
prevailed, that.the Atlantic ocean was Many
feet higher: than thelbe Pacific at the Isth
mint of` anarna, has been'formally exploded.
It has been conclusively ascertained,after a
.series of tidal' observitiOns, carried, on with
the utmost` Scientifie care, at;Panama and
Aspinwall bay, and eonaected by ,accurate
levels along the line of ,railroad, that the
mean height of the 'two oceans is exactly
the same; although, - owing to the difference
in the rise of tide of both places, there are,
of eetin3p, times when one of the• oceans is
'Dower thin the other but their
menntl4vel,:that is to say, their height at
half tide,cia 110 W proved to be precisely the
same .•'

Thci korce of Habit.,
The importance =of forming-sight habits,
is not easily appreciated. They do very
i
much n guiding the life. A correspondent
fornishee to us the following illaetration:
Welcome . Mitchell, 'who diell in Smith
field,, liradford county, Pa., 'March 16,
1856, aged 76, was a deaf mute, and at the
agelof 70, he became entirely blind. From
that , time, it was , found irepossibletopold
communidations with ' him'; so Mach so,
that, all efforts to, make i linown to him the
death of.,his sister,
which took place in the
house ;.where lived , seemed ineffectual,
although- this sister had had'the constant
harehf'him for years. He had some habita
peculiar hiinself. Nearly everyday,he
went into a particular chamber in the house,
took off his hat, walked and turned about
in a particular way, thArt put on his hat and,
left the chamhei. 'What his'ideas,Were in.
deing it, no one could tell. Almost daily,,
he made visits as singular as this, , to the,
corn-housefwith.thwexeeption that, the ,

A Singtaar Case of Plagiarism..
The Nashville Advocate is responsible.for
tb.e following:
iiev.• J. J. Wheat, of. -Woodville Miss.,
brings to light, in the New Orleans Advo
cate,-a remarkable plagiarism, which, as far
as we are advised, has for so long escaped
the critics , and general reader. It is that
;Beinieti'm Coninientary , up to the fifty-eighth
Ai r . ,lollah is taken almost entirely, and
NOittlinit Oredit,`froni Poole's Annotations.
4s compared the two, exten
slimly, and publishes, in double columns,
:specimens of proof to the point. Sometimes
Benson adds a line or two of his own,
sometimes condenses a long note, and some
times oartailS, and now andihen makes a quo-
tation from another author. He makes no ao
knowledgment to Pooleieither in his preface.
or in the body of the work.
• Poole , was born in 1624, died in 1679.
; Helm a Presbyterian.
~ Ar do not charge that Benson has copied
Poole on the whole of the Old Testament,
for I have not had time, as stated elsewhere,
,to make a comparison so extensive ; but I
charge that into whatever book, or chapter
I have looked, I have found the ,stolen
goods of Poole.. It is proper to remark
'that Genesis, so far as I eau judge from the
very slight examination . .I have made, has no ,
'traces of plagiarism. Poole lived to carry
his annotatioas , only . . to the fifty-eighth,of
Isaiah.. Tlie renaming portion was finised
by others. Mush . of . t us Benson has pla

The Lead...fields of -Missouri, begin thirty
miles South of St. , Louis, and extend along
the Iron Mountain Railroad to Pilot Knob.
The Farmer Miner and Mechanic, says :. -
The slitairlead vein, known as the sandy
ininivhnnasesAr . i!itj . is thirtrinues , Soath of
'a,:itertaeet Ilnithlind4.South vein
been',lterked ono: and a half mike in
length, and yielded upwardis of eleven'.
lions pounds.o,..ore, and is lefti going - ADS . ,
the whole distance in the water. The marn.
moth Lead:nifie is next. This - is 'an iriel,
paler' quartering horizontal' 'vein, Welt,
yielded several millions of Pounds of ore.
Nextis the noted Vallee arid Perry's. Baines,
Theise.are distaut.fifty miles from the city
,and six miles from the. railroad, and have
yielded mi l million pciunds of ore annually
for the. last .twenty years. There have also ,
been extensive mines about Potosi, Web . =
ster,'Richmond ; Old Mines and Flat River,
that have Yielded large,amounts of ore, and'
have been worked to great profit when ore'
wardess than half the price it brings at pre.
sent; and in many of, these mines veins are
going dc, , wn,into the water. It is to the in
terest' of Our . country that the Lead mines
of Missouri be developed, and that we pro.
duce not only the Lead necessary for our
own consumption, but have some to export;
and this can be done as soon as a good eye=
tern of mining is established and the requi
site ntimber of miners set to work. The
amount of Lead ore produced this year from
1- the mines named and the Merrimac Lead
district, is 'abont $500,000 worth.. This
,divided among one thousand miners. makes
$5OO annually to each—which is a fair esti-
mete of last year's production to each prac
tical miner in these Lead districts, and this
has been done by working in the old mines
with an ordinary hand-windlass and a few of
the simplest mining tools. The mining
agencies, engineers, captains, mining geolo
gists, and all the paraphernalia connected
with the mining business of our country, is
centered at New York city—as is also the
mining capital. The completion of the
Iron Mountain Railroad is going to open a
great field for this class of enterprise and
labor.
Agricultural.
Birds , versus Dogs---N. Y. Farmers' Club.
The Eon: Henry'Meigs, Secretary, read
several, valuable papers: from London and
Paris journals; one of, them was very inter
esting, and incited a good deal of debate,
upon the use of birds. This was a transla
tion 'from a French -paper, emanating from
a Seciety for preserving useful animals.
Larks, the piper states, eat up the seed of
taies, thistles, and' several other noxious
'Plants: The seed grains that those birds
eat'are those left upon the surface, and it
does more good than harm. Larks also de
stroy innumerable 'larva of the cedonia, that
produces the wheat-fly. Many other = birds
are enumerated as'of the , greatest advantage
to the farmers in France. Rats and mice
are very 'destructive to grain, yet these vet , :
min,would be destroyed by_ he various, noo:
turnal birds, and save millions of bushels of
grain. The,Secretary stated that New Jer:
say had.a law to prevent the 'destruction of,
many kinds of birds, and gave a list of those ,
protected, under a penalty of five dollars for
•
killing One.
`Prof. Nash—l believe we should make
friends, with all birds. I will not except
even crows. *e have made war upon birds
until we have fewer than any of, the Euroi
peen countries. Even. the robin , has been,
attanked_as a noxious bird because it eats a
few l cherries and yet the robin lives upon
curculto.
THE NUISANCE OF DOGS.
Win. Lawton—The crow. is .. a very timid
bird, and is eaeily-kept: out of mischief by
scarecrows,
,or by feeding them with sowed,
Corn. We .have another nuisance much'
greater 'than all the birds. I allude to dogs,
the most vierthless of all animals, and the
most noxious too, - to our , lest interests.
They entirely prevent the raising of 'sheep
iu Winchester County, and give nothing in
return; and I don't see how a Christian
man can intrude a great 'uncooth„dog into a
neighbor's house. Fhave no-objection to a
Sheppard havingn dog if it is useful to
or a pet , bear or a .tiger ; bateof=what-use are
thwiordinary curs r I estimate that it costs=
the,TState 'of New York three millions of doh , '
Jars to. maintain the dogs, besides - the life
that is lost -from the-bites of rabid ones.
Prof. Nash—l must approve all that is
said in favor of lards aid•against the worth.
less, Mischievous doge. I have just:heard
of the loss ,of $2OO worth of sheep, in Am
herst, Mass. ; but I must pay there,is one,
greater nnisence than dogs—it is the men
with guns, who infest the whole country,
destroying ail the birds. I doubt whether
Men can ever destroy the insects that - effect
the destruction of crops.
T. W. Field—l don't km* of any use
for dogs except to make sausages, and'as for
crows, , they are •in the same 'category: I
have had a , dozen fowls , destroyed'of a night
by dogs. They are the greatest nuisances
in the country. I have seen the dogs hunt
in packs upon Long 'lsland, and iu , New,
Jersey. The poorest clan' of community are
the class that own most dogs, of which they
have no possible-use.
The discussion •was further continued with
great animation, and an- almost unanimous
opinion that dogs are a great nuisance gen
erally, and that the people of this country
are generally mistaken in their yiews about
birds, and that they should•be protected and
encouraged •to dwell' side by aide with man.

WE beg leave to call the atten

especially the PhysiCians of the
country, to two of the most popu

We refer to
Br. Chas. ipLane's Celebrated

We do not recommend them as
universal. Cure -ails, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIFITGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with -the most satis
factory results to various AniMals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-ACHE, &C. In cases of

preparatory to or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
" a. speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for' the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
• PITTSBURCII, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been -success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that 'Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall "continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and com
' pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to
