H OOP SKIRTS, at
IA dream, related et the late anniversary of
the Erangelical Society of Now York city and
vicinity, has been versified wit some addition=,
as fellows
Tuihiuh vi t(et.4 quite late one. ere,
NVlnit, one and another of saint , ',eller e,
That Light I e!ooil in a troubl d dream,
IV the tiitle of.tl darkly-801,in_ stream.
Aml Chop:l)mm/ " tlouu to the river came,
When I heard a strange voice call his name:
" Good father, step; when you cross this tido
You must leave your robes on the other side.'
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,- .
But his silk gown floated on the tide,
And ne ele asked, in that blissful spot,
If he belouged t to.." tho.chtirehi',or not
Then down to the river a Quaker strayed;
His dress of a sober hue was made.
‘.` My bat and coat must be all gray;
I eanuot gto any other way." • • • '
Thcu he buttoned his coat straight up to his chin.
And E t id 1
,y, solemnly, waded in, -'-
And his - broad-biimined hat be pulled down tight
Over his forehead, so .pold.a.n4 white.
But a slieng wind curried. away his-hat,
And I,c si,glicd a few moments over,tbat;
And ilen es he gazed to the, farther shore,
The ca..t slii,rettotT, and was been vo more
Poor dying Quaker!, thy suit of gray
Is quietly I-ailing---& - Way—away:
But thoult go fu beaver), ns skaight as an arrow,
Whether thy hyita be broad of narrow.
Next eatne Dr. Wntts, with a bundle of psalms,
tied nicely up in hi. 4 aged arms,
AIL hymns as many—a very wise thing--:-
'flit people in heaven, "nil round," might sing
iiki: 1 !!.. z+,:ht that he heaved an anions sigh,
A. I— -als ii ~t the river ran broad and high,
And I rather surprised, as one by one
The 1,-;1 , 1fIS and hymn's in the wave went down
And after him, with his MSS.,
Came Wesley, the pattern of godline3.s;
But he cried, Dear me, what thrill I do?
The n: ter has soaked them through and thro'
And there, on the river, far,and wide, •
Away thcy went on the swollen tide; '
And the saint, astonished, passed through alone,
Witt,vt.t thanu-otipts, up to the throne.
Thos. gravely walking, two saints by name
Doun to the stream tokether came;
But er they Ftopped at the ricer's brink,
I raw one taint flow the other shrink.
"Spill:1,1(11 or plunged, may I ask you, friend,
Bow you attained to life's great end ?"
" ThuE, Ivith a few drops on my brow;"
.4 pnt I have been dipped as you'll sco me now.
"Arid I tyally think It will hardly do,
Au rio cluee.oututuuvion,'.. to. cross .with you;
You're bnun'd, ttio , iealnitt of
But you Limn go that way, owl go this."
And, htraightway, plunging with all his might
Array to the let t—hio friend to the right--
Apart they went from this irtirld of sin;
And how did the brethren " enter in ?"
And now where the river WDS rolling on,
A Plethyttrinn church . went down ;
or .seemed an innumerable throng,
But the men I could count as they pust.-ed along
And concerning the road they could never agree,
The old pr the new way, which it could be;
Nor ever a moment paused to think • •
That both would lead to the river's brink.
And a round of murmuring, long and loud,
Cnmc ever up froth the'.nnyiihg:.eincid—
"You're in the old way, and Pm in the new ;
That is the false, and this is the true;
Or, yin in the old war, and you're in the new;
That is the false, and this; is the true."
But the brethren only seemed to speak—
:Modest the sitter's walked, and Meek;
And if ever ono of them .chanced to say
What trouble:.4 she met Nvith on the wav,
How she longed to pass tb the other side, -
Nor feared to cross over the swelling tide,
- A voice arose from the brethren then,
"Let no one speak bat the 'holy men,'
For have ye not heard the words 'of Paul 7
• uh i let the women keep silence' all.'
I w.t , died them long in my curious dream,
Till !ley stood by the border of the stream;
Phey , just as I thOught, the two ways met.
But ill the,brethren were taking yet,
And would talk on : till the hearing tide
earned them over, side by side;
Side by side, for the. way was one.
The toilsome journey of lifd was done;
And priest and Quaker, and :all'!" who died
Came out alike on the other side;
No forms or . erosAs, or books had they,
No gowns of silk, or suits of gray,
Nu erieds to guide them, no 11.155:,
For al! had put on "Christ's righteousness."

Our towatriali, Ira Davenport, who
is now traveling in Spain, writes the
following letter to his brother, who
hands it to us for publication :
MALAGA, Dec, 26, 166p.'
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

After -embarking in - a small boat, and

lug to get down into pitched up and
down against the side of the steamer
Kite a cork, it Wars difficult to get into,
and after we were in, the confusion, and
the waves tossing us about, we. came
near getting under the wheel, in which
ease, we would have been smashed.—
We had a close escape.
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

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.

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..

the mellow sparkle of gaslight:

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.
Tess,' said Mr. Terryn one
night—he was getting wondrously
proud of his adopted daughter uccess
in the world of gociety-,`are yo t going

Yes, papa.'
' Whgni with !'
`Colonel Randolph.'
I thought Charley had taker a box

promised Col. Randolph first,' said
she, lauglifdly playing with her fan.
And how about to-morrow night? 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

Fithliestieks!' muttered the old gen
tleman', uneasily. 'lt -seems to toe
you're getting to be a great helle, Miss!'
' Am 1, papa!' said Tess, laughing, 'but
you see 1 am your own little girl still.'
And she gave II a Coaxing kiss.

But, Tess-- .
Well, sir?'
' You won't leave us,' dear? Think
how desolate the old house will be

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

Charles 'rerun rose from his seat and
came eagerly forward.
Fe.-Lora dearest —you hear him.
Once. more I ask you to be my wife!'
And Tesora hid her face on her'shoul

'But, my lovc,'. said Mrs. ' Terryn

The Constitution of the Earth
NU3l.l3lnt EiII'HT:-
'
I take the liberty q l f denominating
Granite, the Living Rock, having an
analogy to the living bark of the tree,
the shell of certain fish and to the ani
mal skin and it may be having various
sti b-divisions, as the animal skin. 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

that old woman, who has just passed up
the sidewalk, was smooth as alabaster
when it was kissed by her young com

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

up by volcanic eruptions, and while it

' 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.
