But the aged father did not mind, And his lung gown floated out behind, As down to the stream his-way- he took, His hands firm hold of a gilt-edged book "I'm bound for heaven, ae when I'm there I shall want my Book of Neon:ion Prayer; • Anti though I put on a etarry crown, I Omuta fc-1 quite lost,without my gown." But Lis atmn 'lve.A heavy and held biro back, And tie poor old father tried inimin A :Anglo step in the flood to gain. I saw him again on tho other aide,- .

We left Cadiz, Friday afternoon, on a steamer for Gihraltar, a night's ride up on 'which, all were sea sick, except the one member of our party who is al ways exempt from that affliction. Sat urday., we took donkeys and went up the rock of Gibraltar. Sunday, tried to Noss over to Africa; we were obliged to go upon Sunday or lose the trip, as a retribution, we met with the following iheidents: As the steamer wits 'adver tised 'for Tangiers, we supposed it would make in the usual time of four hours.— After -embarking in - a small boat, and getting on our little-steamer, we pro w:dud not o4' :lie bay, whell„ 'listen( of heading fur Tangiers, she put off' i 4 a /1211i:rent direction toward an Ameri ui mig in tow of a small tug.

The 't lie commenced to, blow pretty esh, amd thi• little steamer began to 10151; and toll'. There were no accom tito(lations except benelies up by the helm. and no ploinise of anything fur Wilber except 1.01 ii and bread. .The Copt mint otleied to put us on board the other tug if he could, as this was better -.than pitching about all day, we accep ted that offer. As we neared the tug, she passed the ship rope over to our steamer and passed on. The Captain hailed her, however, and she put opt a a „pum boat for us.

Anyone Who has tried getting off in to small boats when the vessel is in a harbor, - ctin appreciate our feelings when we were attempting it outside with the wind blowing, the sea stiff and the sailors swearing.: We were. rowed over to the tug. The ladies kept up courage pretty well. Weiboarded the tug with out a repetition of- the scene in , getting into the row boat. The ladies got rath er wet, and on the lit:partook of a hot drink, as did we all. In getting' the brandy ilaSk out, I discovered a prayer book, so -I improved the occasion on our return I:0' -reading - hymns. We reached the hotel' live hours - after we left it, and that Wag the way we ,saw Tangieis. . 1 • Next daY we concluded to take a trip over the Sierras.to Malaga, and the la dies thought they could stand it, so we sent our baggage around to Malaga by steamer; and took seven horses and two guides, one courier, and started at 8 o'clock, Tuesday morning. We had twenty-three miles to make first day, but we could take, and 'did; a carriage five miles; where Le. horses joined us, The ladies bad sure-footed and fast walking 'tones. 'F—y's horse - was at tached to the guide's by a rope. I came next on a good horse, Adolphe,' the courier, bringing up the rear. The only road was a mule and donkey -- one, no cart or wagon' could 'traverse It. Our path lay the most of the' day through a level 'country, sorbewhat rolling, a good sized river kept winding along, across which we forded some twenty times.— The better part of thenfternoon we saw the path winding up the Sierras, and in the topmost , peak, then in sight 5000 feet above thosen, we . descried the outlines of a castle, and :a few_ white spots at its base indicative of the town of Gocinc, where we ware to spend the night. We were about an hour behind when we reached its base and com menced the ascent by a narrow zig-zag, path. , The country' had been -*isited by rains, and the path was hoth of the roughest as well as muddiest I ever saw. The niountains of bare, broken granite; dusk came on rapidly; and It ,was no longer day by the time we were half way up, but fortunately the evening was not dark, although misty, it seemed. as•though the town hekt moving as we advanced. The_ top of every peak abed(' of us being generally crowned with some huge rocks, wo were contin ually supposing we had at last reached the castle peak of Goeine. At last we came to the top of the only remaining one intervening, and the welcome sight of the town towered above us. The as cent of that mountain I shall never forget. F—y, who had deciddd to take the trip, expecting Swissmountain mule paths, found - she had got some what more than was bargained for.— However, we rode into the place at last, about 7 o'clock,• making the narrow stone paved streets resound with the clattering of the_horses hoofs, and ,eaus ing the doors off the lo‘q white-washed stone houses•to,cipen, aro the occupants came- out, in • aston ishm:en t to, s_ee , the invadorki . of- tb r - Wlrrati nd ' a coMfortable " Poseida',;l where we supped, lodged and breakfasted. I shall not tfeseribe it, for the owner and keeper had been a cook. in Gibraltar, and so it was not a regular Spanish Po soda, but we will come to one. The next morning We_ started as be fore,' at 8 o'clock ° . The scenery now commenced to repay the toil, moun tains and wheys around and below us, at one point We turned a little aside from the path, and came to the edge of a precipice. A thousand feet below us, lay a_cornpact ,Spanish_ town with its white houses 'and grey-tiled roofs; further down Still, tt stream wound its way around in its narrow valley. The mountains rose up with broken surfa ce, and stretched away to the right and left 'in extensive' sweeps through an opening betweert two mountains, at the extreme right we could see in the dis tance the rock of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean. The bells were ring ing in the town below us, and sounded strangely from' the high point we were on, with the 'wide and mountainous scenery' stretching out before us, the last place where we would expect the sound Of,a, church bell to be heard. Our next town' for 'the night was Ronda. The ride was through- the same scenery, down-into valleys and up mountains, every foot,of arable ground however,- put to use; wheat fields with it round circle in the centre,. paved with small stones, this was She • threshing floor, floaka of sheep or goats browsing on the sides of the mountains. Passed through several cork woods or orchards. The tree has a ragged and twisted pearande. The bark only is taken off and that not every year. This does not injure the tree.,, Of course there was not a honk: aiilthe way. Occasionally a building could be seen where the_ laborers housed during the seed time and harvest, Nvhen the field was too far from town.' Heie 'were some excel lent spring§ by the wayside, and flow ers.. About four o'clock we reached our last 'aSeent, and Ronda - lay below us on top of a high mountain, and below that a wide and fertile valley. 'We com menced our descent, and entered the town , at 6 o'clopk ; a phtce of 23,000 in habitants, situated upon a high rock with precipitous sides. The centre of the town is divided by - a narrow chasm; . as if it had been cleft in two by volcan ic action. On one side lies the oldest poi lion of the city, the two are connec ted together by hn iminense stone bridge, one arch of 110 feet span, over the sides of which yon look down nearly 300 feet to the river, that runsand boils through this narrow gorge; some of the water has been turned - from its course and is carried through little channels, cut along-the side of the rocks, to some small mills that cling to the rocks over the rushing river, paths have been eta in zigzag courses down to them. Of course the houses are all built Oose up to the edge of the chasm, one we visited called the Moors House, has a. flight of steps 400 in number, cut throtigh the rock; down to the water. These are in side the rock, and of different flights connected With a gallery at the land ing of each flight, you can pass out to the, side bf the chasm, which though precipitous, is sufficiently broken to al ot small plateaus being cut out, tip 'n which, when the town belonged to the Moors and this house was in its grandeur, flowers were placed in pots, and vines twisted around the entrance. The whole labor of excavation was per ' f o rmed ny ehristian captives, 2'!'t everything b 4 damp and neglected, and we did not attempt the entire de scent, but from one of the little plat eaus, we could see some distance up the gorge, where the final exit was cut. We had fair beds, but an execrable breakfast. The ride had been about 20 miles' from (iocine to Ronda. The next day's ride was from Ronda to Pizarro,' a good 23. This was rather too much for F—y and K—, who had however, stood it pretty well'so far. K— particularly, bad excited the admira tion of theguides t by her skillful riding. I quite distinguished myself in the seine line, to my surprise. We feund on enquiry, --there was a town nine miles otf, on our direct route, where beds could be found for the ladles, ,at least, and our provisions we could take. When we at last reached the top, and commenced the descent over the same kind of path, F—y's courage gave out, and she dismounted to go it upon foot, which she did safely, until the danger, if any, was over. Our horses were sure footed enough. We passed next through a stretch of gulley with a few scattered Olive trees growing about; some . had been lately cut, and were being burned for charcoal., Up anoth er hill, and another wide sweep of barren mountains and valleys, with the town where we were to spend the night, op posite us, at the base of the mountain. We entered after reaching the' valley at dusk, with a crowd of donkies and laborers returning from' the fields.— Hers we excited the village. Such a thing as our cavalcade had never be fore stopped.for the night. We rode up tothe POsado; or inn—ti two story white lashed buildin g, 'of-a 'little more pre miens than its neighbors; we rode at the door; the floor was paved like the street; we dismounted; the horses \Vere:led on through the room, which was the open first floor of the Posado, to the stable, another open room, warm, with straw above. On the left were large clay jars holding water, ranged along thelside, until a flight of stone steps comMeneed to ascend to the upper floor. TITE CHECK REIN.---How often we see a horse straining every: muscle in an attempt to draw some heavy load, his strength impaired in an unnatural po sition of the head Mid 'neck, caused solely by' the tightness of- the check rein I Naturally the _animal,' to have full use,of its muscles, must have its head and neck free,. and having this, it will in exertion carry its heati'doWn ward. The ignorance of- this fact on the part of many owners and drivers of horses is the -cause of not only much pain to the horse, as is teStilled to b the distortion of the muscles' or th mouth, hilt of loss of time to the owns It impairs the trotter's speed •, it impair' the draught ho'rse's. strength. - A cele brated veterinflry surgeon, in speakin of the effect of the check rein, mention that upon dissection; in almost every ease- where that almost superfluous piece of harness was used, "the wind pipe of the horse was so r,nisshaped as to prevent perfect respiration." 'A fact which many of the owners of our Broad street trotters would do well to carefully consider. The, writer has read of a case which happened in England about 1820, and which seems to prove the check-rein a preventive to the full use of power. A stage 1131111 having in his use a hundred horses, conceived the Idea of the check rein being disadvantagqous, and aban doned it-' use, and thereby did the same work with eighty hordes, a saving of twenty per cent. Although the cheek rein has its abuse, it also has its uses, to Make the animal, if not naturally so, look as the great poet says, "proud-headed," which, if not hard worked, is wellenough. Again the horse, to raise his heels, must lower his head, and as a preventive of kick ing, although not a thorough one, it becomes of use; \ so upon a horse while hitched; as a proven tive,l-a 9ny. atteVopt the" horse may make to rub ; and as a preventive also of the horse getting his head to the grouud• and thereby getting a dirty mhzzle, a thing objectionable in the sight of a horseman.—Germantown Telegraph.

A I'i, v STORY ABOUT MR. GREELEY. —The I ochester Express says that a gentle an who happened to be an eye witness; tells. the following good story about Mr. Greeley, which has never be fore been in print. "Mr. • Greeley has never been accused. of extravagance in dress, even by 'the Democrats. One morning, some years ago, habited in his usual quaint style, he was leaning over the counter in We Tribune ollice eating an apple, when''an - Englishman entered who had that morning arrived by steamer, and who, it turned out, was connected with the London Times, and had come to ar range some business between that pa per and the Tribune. , "Approaching Mr. Greeley with very arrogant air, he said: ' Fellow, d you work here?" Yes, - sie.' 'ls Mr Greeley in ?" Yes, sir.' After waitin a little, and seeing that the ' fellow seemed very indifferent to his presence and inquiries, he burst out, almost choked with indignation : ' Well, why the devil don't you go and fetch him'' 4 I 11111 Mr. Greeley, at your service -) Was answered in the same calm and im different manner. . i "Johnny Bull's hat was removed 1 from his head with alacrity, and when our friend left, he was stammering hm.l,, confused apologies to the chief of the Tribune." It i:, t,aid that the young Duke de Brabant, heir to the throne of Belgium, who has been sick so long, begged hls. father On New Year's day tin• a present of 6,000 francs. On being asked,,after his request bad been granted, what he wanted with the money, he replied that it was for two migels who had been nursing him during his long illness, and he thereupon gave it to the two sisters of Charity who have been his constant `attendants.. If all stories are true the Prince is a little angel himself. The American Pin company, of Waterbury, Ct., manufacture nearly seven millions of pins per day. As every paper has to contain a certain number, the entire amount of perfect pins manufactured in b year' can read ily be ascertained. The figures for last year approximate the enormous sum of 2,000,000,000, or more than enough to supply every human inhabitant of the globe with a pia apiece. r 1` A NOTIIER'S MANAGEMENT. The dismal December night was elos ng Niith starless gloom, over the spires anu chimney tops of the city—the blin ding mist of snow flakes was wreathing Its white pall over all, and the wind, murmuring sadly through the streets, seemed to have an almoA hu m an wail in his moan. 'lt's an ngly kind of a night," mut tered Mr. Terryn to himself, as he buck led his fur closet; around bie neck, "and wind fit to cut one in two. Hallo! What's this?' ' He had very nearly stumbled over ,something that looked like a bundle, jcrouching at the foot of a flight of steps, in the shadow of a ruinous old brick archway; but, as ho checked himself abruptly, the bundle erected Itself into something human in shape and looked 'at him through its wild, human eyes. ' Who are you !' he demanded, on the impulse of the moment: ' , Only me, sir—little Tess.' 'Please give a penny, sir !' cried the child, suddenly subsiding Into the professional whine of her tratlle. 'Only a penny.' - ' Where do you live?' I don't live nowhere, skulks round in the alleys.' Oh, you do eh ? who takes care of you!' Old Tim Daley used to, but he's took up.' . ' Took up?' ' Sent to the Island, sir' Are you a boy, or a girl 'P (For the creature's tangled locks and ragged garb gave no clue to the sex.) 'l'm a girl, sir.' ' You ought to be ashamed of yourself, begging in the streets,' said Mr. Terryn, , severely, 'Why don't you work ?' As he approached his own door a bright child's face, peeped out between the curtain. and as Mr. Terryn entered the cheery Sitting room, he could not but think with a remorseful pang, of the shivering bundle of rags under the brick archway beyond. It' none of my business,' he thought 'I dare say the police will pick the poor little elf up, and take her where she'll be better off.' But Mr. Terryn's conscience was lesii adamantine that be bad given it credit for being. It pricked him sorely as he sat toasting his slippered feet before the bright embers—it whispered to him as he listened to the lullaby wherewith his wife was lulling the baby to sleep upon her breast. Had little Tess ever , known a mother's care or heard a mother's cradle song? And she could seareely.have been six years old either. Where are you going, my dear?' said his wife, as he rose up suddenly. Clut'futo the street. There was a child there—i-a little girl, crouching on some steps=j' A child?' Homeless? And on such a night as this ? Oh, Herbert, yon should have brought her here!'' I I Five minutes afterwards Mr. 11'erryn was out in the driving whirlwinds. of snow, bending over the small stray who was bundled up, just where he had left her. Hore, child, where are you ?' But there was no answer.. Tees was benummed and stupi the cold. lie lifted her up; a poor Intl sl.ele toiT wrapped In a miserably thin coat ing of rags and feeling strangely light in his arms. and carried her hoz le. Mrs. Terryn met him at the door. ' Oh. Herbert, what a peer little Starved wretch Her hands are just like bird, claws. Charley looked on in breath] eat at the proces.s of feeding, and Testoring some real vitalit; torpid object. When little Tess opened her was to the glow of a warm the mellow sparkle of gaslight: .

Poor little creature?, 13 Terryn bursting into tears ' Tesora, 'her name proved sweet Italian synonym for `treasure,' and a treasure-she the gentle Mrs. Terry n's eyes, after her babe was dead and b `How Tesoragrows,' said M Suddenly, as the beautiful girl rosy and smilipg,, from a wal =l=llll ' now old is she'i' Sixteen, day before yesterday.' 'ls it possible,' 'said Mr. :Terry ..,- thoughtfullY. 'How - time slips - away ! TeSora sixteen ! Why, then Charley must be twenty !' ti ' It is true, my dear,' said his wife. 'We are getting to be old people now !' I wonder what will become of Tesora, said Mr. Terryn, niusirtgly. 'She would make a capital governess, beredneation has been so thorough—or' I "'Father, said Charles Terryn, reso lutely, as he walked up in front of his father and stood with folded arms, can tell 3.0 u what will become ofTesora ! She is to be my wife!' Nonsense!' ejaculated Mr. Terryn. Charley,' said Mrs. Terryn, when the indignant father had jerked himself out of the room, 'don't waste yon - 1 7 breath' in .arguing with your father. Argument never conquered yet, in such a case is this.' ' But, what am I to do?' ' ITave you . spoken to Tessl yet?' 'No.' ' Wait thew—let matters rest. I will manage it?' So Mrs. Terryn gave little dinner par ties and select soirees, and 'brought out' Tesora, according to the regular programme. She made a sensation. Mrs. had known that she would. Tesora was a belle—a queen of fasliion. Suitors congregated around her.

I suppose Charley could get his ticket Ira nsferred.' I am sorry, but I am en gaged for to morrow- INTr. Terryn rose and walked restlessly up and dowi the room. He was a man much guided by the opinion of his fel low men. Tesora• must be a treasure, el.-e why thi competition among the millionaires for her soeietv. Look here, Tess—Clnley will be so disappointed. ' ' 1 can't help it. Let me see'—and she glanced at I:er tabrek—'Friday is the only evening I have disengaged.'

' You won't leave us,' dear? Think how desolate the old house will be without you !' Tesora was silent—h i cr head dropped. ' Esther,' said Mrs: Tarryn, gently, 'let .the girl decide for herself. We have no right to stand between her and a home and a husband of her own.' ' But she might have a home' and a husband Of her own here!' burstin Mr. Terryn. 'That is—l mean—Charley—" I have refused Charley to-day !' said Tesora, ' Refused Charley ! And why?' 'Because I have reason to believe that his suit was pressed without 'the approval of his father. Oh, sir, could you think that, after all your kindness, I could steal your sou's duty away from you ! I would rather die !' ' Spoken like your Self, Tess,' said Mrs. Terry'', going to her and kissing her; Tess, du you love him ?' eagerly questioned the father. 'That has nothing to do with the question, sir,' she answered, reservedly. But I Want to know;' he insisted. I do love him, then.' And you have refused him only be cause I didn't approve!' Yes, sir.' * • ) But I do approve, Tess! It would make me the happiest old father in the world, if I could make you both chil dren in real truth.' • Charles 'rerun rose from his seat and came eagerly forward. Fe.-Lora dearest —you hear him.

'But, my lovc,'. said Mrs. ' Terryn softly 'what has Wrought such a ehange in your sentiments 27 • ' I—l don't know,' said the old gen tleman, evavisely.

With out expressing, at present, an opinion of its entire correctness. I shall speak of the granite as composing the living covering of the entire earth. I refer to the_facts set forth it:t__No. 5- to show that this rock puts forth pro cesses and_ roots growing up into the super-incumbent strata In exact anal ogy to animal and vegetable life ; that no reek above the granite exhibits any similar phenomena; to the generally conceded fact that while we can ac count for all general strata above, on the aqueous theory, for the granite we cannot account except on the theory of crystallization, which geologists tell us, but which I do not believe, must result from the cooling of a molten mass of matter having in its composition all the materials of which granite is corn posed and to the fact that no rock above the granite :iIIOWS any signs of upheav al unless where it is raised by the grad ual upheaval of the granite t . or of dead inett matter interposed between the gi au ite and the super-incumbent strata. However GeoloAsts may differ in other things they generally agree in this that alt the strata above this living rock, is 'mole up from what was origi nally :t part of that rod k., unless, per haps, seine na exeept that part which is the rezult of volcanic action ; and that thes,.str.tta have suc6etled each other in regular order of time, there ha'. hie; Leen a that v, hen not a single stratum lay above the fzranite. whole depth of these different forioation3 have been variously esti tna tot. It is enotOi for my purpose that 1 they are 01 the depth of several miles. It wakes no difidence that many of these formations, or strata are the work, of - extinct animal.; 91 the lower grade ;' all the materials of which they aremade are no less the east offdead matter of the primary shell ; east off and used up in to other .:Ithstances precisely as - the dead matter from animal rind vegetable bodies. ,- # When these d'fferent, strata were formed, how farpack in the lapse of ages, the same crystallized foliated j gneiss, the mica ,ate &e., were spread -- -- it by the waters, in strata, as it died off from the granite below, no one can tell. It may have been millions, or Millions of millions of years ago, bait that there was a time, in the childhood or the earth when its surface was with- I out wrinkle, or unnatural corrugation, is as Artil4, following out the facts and reasoniits of geology, as that in its youth t '' ark of the Balm of Gilead, tint' ni ' shades my window and looks in upon nie, in its old age, as the com panion or its youth and riper years was once smooth, or ti.. , .., that the cheek of that old woman, who has just passed up the sidewalk, was smooth as alabaster when it was kissed by her young com panion in her childhood. No Geologist of the internal Sire tbe ory, expresses a doubt that all the Ma terial of there) different strata came from the interior of the globe, whethz er east oft' as stated above, or thrown up by volcanic eruptions, and while it was in a state of igneous fusion—a mass ,of molten matter.

Of this I shall• have more to say hereafter. ' Taking the third, then on astronomic Cal principles what effect would it have on the nicely balanced system of worlds? or would it in any manner de range their motions? Taking the fourth, then the earth go on collapsing and growing less till all its internal matter iwould have cooled and the same reAilt arrived at that Dr. Sterry Huntlattains by com mencing the cooling process At the cen tre. The fact is, a great many Geologists are beginning to distrust the theory of tho present igneous molten matter of the interior 'of the earth. • Some, like Dr.' Hunt and Professor Thompson of Glas gow, adopting or rather suggesting the theory of au ancient gradual cooling of the'earth from the centre to the circum ference; others like the late Professor Hopkins of Cambridge, the theory that the earth began to cool simultaneously both at the centre and circumference, and thus on till nearly the whole mass was cooled, but like David Forbes leav ing reservoirs of molten matter for the special use of volcanoes. And still another theory , of a writer in the February number of the Atlan, tic Monthly, who contends that the earth was ut first a small:dark colored mass of matter, whether animal, vege table or unorganized lie does not say, which was sent out on its travels in search of increase, and for millions of years has been bumming and foraging through the lirnits of space and -gath ering the materials for its growth from the small meteors—so small that they could notstand up against the encroach ments of this wandering despiser- of meteoric rightd. Let us see how much matter has been passed out from the interior to the ex— . terior of the earth, since the time it was surrounded by a granite shell only. The solid contents of the earth are 259,992,792,083 cubic miles. 1f the de-' posits above the grataitetare one mile - evenly spread out over the *hole sur- , face, which is very far short of the real depth, the amount of thii sedinten tary a - eposite would be 98,485,848 cubic wilds which if abstracted from the cen tre of the earth would leave-a globular space of 573 miles diameter. If the 'deposites have an average depth of 52,800-feet or ten miles, which Is nearer the truth, then there has been abstracted from the interior parts of the earth 974,739,513 cubic miles, which if taken from the centre'would leave a - globular space of 1230 miles diameter, surrounded by a crust of 3344 miles thickness. No wonder that some an cient' mythologists, if they ever figured up this matter placed "The prisons of thd . over damned and lost In the dark dismal centre of the earth Surrotinded there by adamantine walla,. That all the powers of earth and hell combined Could neker break." Now itll geologists admit, atleast all who follow in the. footsteps of Lyell, that this outside dead crust is no part of the organization of the earth, if the earth has an internal organization as suggested, and they would, I presume, admit that it bears a great analogy to theil cast off dead natter of animal and vegetable bodies. ! Cionsequently they must admit these outside strata to be an absolute loss to :the interior in the absence of compere-. 6atfon. from some extraneous source, Which no one while adhering to the theory of the Igneous fluidity of the in- 1 terior of the earth has attempted c)., supply. The difficulty has been se rt.: arid an attempt has been made to move ir, by suggesting inamerise ca !- ties in the earth which haven been r erroirs of melted' matter, and are n w since its ejection by volcanic and of er action become- reservoirs of gaseous matter. Others' have attempted to overcome the difficulty by renenricing the igneous fluidity theory and adopt one somewhat similar to the one spoken of above of meteoric accretions upon a central nucleus and holding that not only 50,000 feet is Secondary but nearly the while mass.
