Tucker returned and took Carter quo side. 'No noistino*; Carter ; follow me• as though nothing had happened.' " 'Saran.' , • - The two approached the main batch, and stopped ,to raise it, when Dan's hand touched a small ball that seemed to have been pinned up under the after break of the hatch. "It'fi a ball - of twine,' said he. 'Don't touch it, but run and get a an tern,'. replied Tucker. Carter sprang to obey , and when he •eturned a number of the men had athered about the spOt. The hatch VtlB raised, and the Commodore' care ally picked. up the ball of .twine, and ound that it was made fast tosemething eloW. He descended to the\beld; and heM found that the twine ran beneath he lid of the coffin. He had no doubt n his mind now, that -there was mis chief boxed up below, and ho sent Car ter for something that might answer for a screw drive. The man soon returned With a stout knife, and the . Comthodore set to Work. He worked very carefully, however, at the same time keeping a bright :lookout for the string. • At length the screws were out, and the nil very carefully lifted from Its phice.-t I i) ' Greta God in hen en 1' burst from the lips of the Commo ore. 'By Sam Hyde 1' dr: edlikea thun der clap from the tongue of young Dan. ' God bless you, Dan !' said the Com modore. ' I know'd it!' muttered Dan. The two men stood fora moment and gazed into the coffin. There was no dead man there, but in place thereof,• here was materials for the death of a core. The coffin was filled with gun I owder and pitehwood i , Upon a light erne work in the centre were arranged r pistols,_eocked, and the , string en tring the coffin from without, commu i icated with the trigger of each. i f ) The first movement of the Commo ore was to call for water, and when it was brought, ho dashed three or four buckets full into "the infernal contri vance, acid .then ho 'breathed more freely. . • No, no,' he uttered, ,as he leaped from the hold. 'No, no—insw men do nothing - rashly. Let me go into the cabin first. You may follow me:' • - Commodore Tucker' strode into the cabin, walked up to the bunk where. the passenget lay and grasping hold of th;O female dress,-'he dragged its wearer od t upon. the floor.

The' circuits of the two primal forces,. as they interwork on and with each other, need to be kept distinctly in the apprehension. The antagonist agency goes backin the line 'of the axis to the poles and holds itself -in statics equilib ration there until the equatoriatring is elevated transverse to the axis, and um. til the forces!in - this ring have crowded their simple activities back on each • side upon themselves up to the poles and balanced the whole movement -a Another crowding back of the polar points and lengthening of the axis then occurs, to hold itself again in Static rest until the same process is repeated in another equatorial ring, and another hemispherical layer on each side of the poles. Thus perpel,ually with the circuit of the antagonist force. The di reihtive activity starting from the same limit id the central force, takes the same circuit by a directly converse movement, going out each way limn the central limit, the . diremtive activi ties encounter these antagonist agen cies, and thus pushing, all back upon the polar, points, they loosen, the cen tral tension, and In this the occasion is given for the direnative action to turn its divellency transverse to its first di rection and thereby press out and fill in the interval between the first antag onist spherical layer and the central molecule. The direnative agency thus balanced must thence again push back upon the next outer polar points in the axis, to be thence turned again -trans verse to its former direction, and loosen and fill in between the first and second spherical antagonist layer, and thus on alternately prolate and oblate until eve ry spherical layer is loosened by the in-. terposing diremtivo force. "This direcntive action ultimately disparts the ' layers and also the male cubes in the layers and 'dissolves the whole mass into'afluid and molten static. The two agencies , thus hlance each other and the diremtion iII held still, while the antagonism is jus parted and the fluid ether rests quiet."

' • . - 1,. Now I propose to advance. ,a theory different from any of the above, or from any heretofore openly and boldly pro mised. Ido it with a good deal of diffi dence, because I am aware that the prej udices and pride of man, and the long, established doctrines of theoretical sci ence will revolt against it; and it will be treled with ridicule by the unthink ing, at d by those who constitutionally fl i take w thout enquiry long established theorykis truth. But, thank God, "the days of the doctors of Salamanca, who deemed it a crime to hold.with Colum bus that the world was round and not flat, aid of Francis Tursetine and oth er worthies who deemed it blasphemy to hold with Newton and.Gallileo, that it is the earth that moves in the hea vens, and the sun which stands still," are passed and have been succeeded by an era of free inquiry. This theory I think I can establish by facts undisputed, and by reasoning that cannot be overturned ; for I .rely .on facts that must be, and are well known to all ivho havestudied the constitution of the earth, and facts, too, admitted by all geologists on analogies that, must be - , apparent to 'every thinking man, on de ductions that no one can gainsayond on reasoning that can be found in near ly all our geological works. : • • - . 1-The earth is a living organization.--- The internal parts of the.earth do not consist of an assemblage of chaotic ele ments, but are arranged with• as much wisdom as the parts of the external uni verse; and the earth itself is .the vast laboratory in which was prepared teener- ding to definite laws, analogous to the 1 laws of animal and vegetable life, all the mineral substances found upon its sur-, face, and in which aro now preparing the elements of all, future changes. - 2-The earth has bad its infancy, its childhood, its youth, its manhood, and will have its old age and its final death and dissolution: for that law which is "written on all things material," the law of change and death, is th ilaw of the earth. . Let me - premise that this the ry does not militate against the doctr eof a divine authorship of the earth anymore than the birth, Watley, childhood manhood, old age, and death of animal' and vegetable lifetmilitate against the divine authorship of animal and veget able life, the world's Redeemer. , .

She was evidently a wonfau of sorrow, rather intimately acquained with grief.— Young, too, though' a glimpse I caught at her face once, when her veil was turned momentarily aside, showed me that, her misfortunes, whatever they might have been, had left their trace there.

I felt that I ought to extend my sympathies to her in some manner, and so, after addressing a few words of common-place tol her, I ven tured to. inquire, iu tones of the most delicate I commisseration, If she was mourning for some departed friend, ' Ali, yes,' she replied withn sigh.
