It is assuredly not thro gh any enlarge-
Mont of man's little apprehensions of
the Infinite and the E ernal that man's
faith in the Scheme of salvation by a
Redeemer need be shaken. We are in
calculably more in danger from one un
subdued passion of our lower nature,
even the weakest and the least, than
from all that the astronomer has Yet.,
discovered in the depths of heaven, or
the geologist in the bowels of the earth.
If one's , heart be right, it is surely a
good, not an evil that one's view should
be expanded ; and geology is simply an
expansion of view in the =diirection of
the eternity that bath gone by."
We can never be positive that the
earth existed •in a nebulous state; but
we knowihat previous to'the formation
of the oldest stratified rocks, it existed
in a state of igneous fluidity;:and that,
as the process of refrigeration went on,
a' crust formed over the surface_of the
molten mass, and that then the waters
of the Ocean were created. At this
point geology becomes one of the exact _
scienteal;-for, from the`moment the
waves and currents began their work'
of erosion, and of piling up layer after
layer of sediment in the , profoonder
depths of the sea=--the story of creation
is written in clear and unmistakable
characters., The numerous leaves in
the books .i.f 'stone; which contain these
characters, have been divided by ge
ologists—if I'May so: exPresis Myself—
into various chapters. These divisions

The Azoic Age, the first in geedogle
history, comprises all rocks which were
formed prior to the dawn of life upon
our planet. It consists of granite;
syenite, gneiss, &c., and constitutes the
only - universal i formatiohY In every
part of: the . World it Is present, and is
found to underlie all other systems,
though it forms the surface-rock over a
small territory only—having been buri
ed up by subsequent formations. In
North America it forms the surfaCe
rock over a belt of country reaching .
from Lake Superior to Labraderl; the
same belt extends from Lake Superior
to the Arctic (Mean. Second, a small
area in northern New York,and anoth
er south of Lake Superior. Third, part
of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas ;
Ilie Laramie Range in Nebraska, and
the Black Hills in Dakota; also the
Iron Mountains in Missouri.
The maximum thickness of the Azoic
is thirty thousand feet, and some of its
most impratant- 'mineral productions
are magnetic and specular iron ore.—

drinking. She had pnrehasecl that
'day the blographY of the excellent Mr.
Gough, and her eyes had been opened
to the horror of my course. Thereupon
she took the book and proceeded to read
several extracts therefrom. They were

in vain. The more I reasoned the faster

WHAT WILL You DO *ITU.YOUR
EVEHINGS THIS WlNTER.—Winter is
faist tipproaehhig. Already it ba's sent
out its skirmishers ' in the'form °feting
ing winds, and bitter snow-squidls.
With it'will come long evenings - of leis
ure. Young men, what do you intend
to do with these evenings 7
There`are a thohstind inducements to
squander them. The' gaily lighted
liard-room, opens its doors and invites
you Ito enter. The theater, - the ball,
solicit you. All gods of similar tempta
tions allure you 'to spend your time and
money ;..and many of you will be drawn
into extravagant expenditure, by, these,
ih themselves, innocent amusements.
Another and worse class of tempta
tions will beset you. Tlik, drinking sa
loon, the house of ill-fame, will invite
you to enter, and with delusive' excite
ments seek to blind your moral' precep
nor's and lead yon to ruin.
What are you going to do with these
precious;, evenings? Will you throw
away their golden opportunities, and
bring upon, you p. burden of vain regret
fer the years that are to come?.Do, you
riot see their value, if improved ? •
There are thousands of young mechan
ics whin will see the6e words, and will,
some of them,-perhaps, resolve that
this Winter shall not be spent as was
tbe,last r . This. Winter, shall be devoted
to neglected acithmetic, algebra or book
4eeping. They will seize the coming
leisure to perfect their linowledge of
drawing, or to complete their perusal of
some scientific, historical or literary
work begun long ago, 'but still unfin
ished. They know the value of time
and they will no longer squander it.
Alas! how. few of these wise resolu
tions will be kept. Yet we are hopeful
that SOMO will be influenced by our
exhortation to use their time in a more

A young lady!,s jewels had been stol

`ainined : it carefully. Its was =a large,
elegantly furnished apartment, , ''and
showed no evidence of having been en

longing to,a lady's toilet were scattered

device set OF the, elegance of the
apartment. A splended watch set with
'jewels, was left untouched. Rich
shawls, and laces, and robes of great
value, bad been passed by, and only
diamonds had been taken).
The young lady herself was in the
room calmly observing all that passed.
There was 4 shade of anxiety on her
'face, nothing more.
Madam, you have no suspicion who
did this?' I asked her..
Why do you ask me ?'
' Because if you have, it may save
some trouble.' , • .

plied lu a tone which aroused rny sus
picions at once. el
She was a tall, stately looking lady,
With whom it would be difficult to as
soeiate,the idea of erirne. Vast resour
ces furnished her with every luxury,
and her :every want was gratified al-
Mcipt as soon as expressed. She could
not have made way with her own Jew
els:;: yet - her tnatiner convinced me she
knew in! . What way they had disap
peared. ' I .motioned my companions
from - the room and then addressed her.

With surprise, and the indignant blood
stained neck and face,

to repeat, my :observation. You. can

She looked at me - -with a strange,
frightened expression ; the flush faded
from her face, and a chill, grayish pallor
took its place. . -

' That I cannot tell;• but Miss M—,

Valuable as those taken, would , not have

gained by tho windOws; tor theY have

locked fret& the inside and bolted. No
mere felon did:this deed. Miss M--,
You must tell me who is the criminal.'
Her excitement as I proceeded, be
came marked . and noticeable. Her face
was rigid with fear, and her hands
twitched ne vously.

` Perhaps lost them at the party.'
• I knew sh was not in earnest.
' No ; thatkds not likely.'
As. I spo r lqii my eye lighted on a hand
kerchief Iyhig on the floor.. I picked .
it up without her observing hie, and
made an
,excuse for leaving tbie room
for a moment.
. . •
I neglected to state that her aunt first
discovered the robbery. Enterink the
room at an early hour she found the
jewel ease open,. and the diamonds gone.
She inquired of here niece where they
Were. •
' In the case.'` : •
' ' No, they are nothere.'
' I put them there.' -
' Then they haVe„been stolen,'' and
. '
the alarm was given.
The young hidy had Manifested un-
Usualapathy, and had rather discour
aged' the idea of search May' be she
had mislaid them, she s' id;; -and they'
would turn up again. , •'' : •
Reaching the hall I found the name
of thetentleman• on the handkerchief
—Paul Esben—a gay gentleman- of the
town and .a pet of the' ladies. r

prevent' him wedding his daughter.—
Ile was heartle - ss, soulless, moneyleis.
I knew him well.
Returning to the reon4l asked' Miss
.M,,if she knew Mr. Esben. " '... ...
She. seemed a, little,surprise, but an,
swerod..readily that ,she did. ..
'When did you see him last?'
' A mOnth.shce.'
'Not later ?'
'No.' ',
"Has be ever given you any keepsake
or present?' •
. .
Does he ever visit here ?'
No—my uncle will not allow him.'•
She was scanning ray face eagerly as
I asked her these questions, and was
evidently deeply laterest&l.
' Flow came his handkerchief in your
room 7' I showed it to her.
' What ! His handkerchief in my
room I' She stood before mo like ,a
lioness at bay. Her tall figure .was
drawn up to, ~its full ,height, and the
beautifulw-ovan looked in that indig
nant atfitudO"-never more peerlessly
lovely.
How
did it come here?' I asked.
'Left )y himself,' she said. g I will
tell you sho Said, speaking rapid
ly, and vidently carried away by her
passionn e resentment. 1
I lik:d the man. I sympathized in
his pec liar position--the education,
habits a)d tastes of the gentleman,
without he means. He told me last
night - 04 t< he wanted a large sum of
money. did not have it, but I loaned
him my j :wets with which toraise . it.—
The jewe a were not stolen ; I loaned
them to I im myself.'
It wo (.1 never do fir the world to
know t iis, and I told her as ranch. I
kept her secret, faithfully, but- I got
back the jewels. 'She is dead now, and
there are none Hybl°. who know the
event of which I speak, save Mr. I. and
myself. It will do no harm to, publish
it, as a curious incident in a detective's
experience.—New Orkans Picayune.

‘f W-a-1, mister, I'm ready, of 'you
say so, to take right hold."
"Very well, then ; I'll send , you out
on this traint; but ' I wish to put you
upon your guard with reference to one
matter, and that is, there is a set of
troublesome fellows continually hang-.
ing around the train, pretending to be
long to the road. Some of them. may
interfere with you. If they do, put
them off the ears at once—tell them I
put you on the train, and take wet ore. ,
ders or impudence from any one of them.
As to-your duties, when you hear one
whistle, screw on •( the. brakes ; if two
alarms are sounded, screw, them down
bard; and then when three are given,
loosen the brakes for the train to go on.
11l go with-you and put you i on the
train. You return here to-night • and
then I will see about your boarding
place." '
Accer,dingly down they went to the
station, and there the pretended Su- •
perintendent showed his employe the
brakes and the mode of using them—
leaving him with a fresh injunction to
"knock any one who attempted to in
terfere with him."
Before many mbautes the Vermonter
had a customer. The whistle sounded
and on went the brake.
"What are you doing with that
hrak.a ?" shouted the legitimate brake-
man. "Jump off if you don't want your
head broke."
• Jonathan looked. at. the rude interro
gator (a small man) with contempt, but
disdained : a reply.
" h-reeet !. a- h-ree 1 wh-000," went
the whistle and the new -brakeman.
screwed away for dear life, until snap
went the chain.
This was a cup too much, and off
went the infuriated little brakeman for
assistance.
" What are yell doing there ?" asked
the conauctor, whd returned with the
men ; and stepping upon the car, he
placed his hand upon Jonathan with a
view to summary ejectment;, A brret
struggle ensued,, at the termination of
which the conductor lay sprawling
upon his back, with the small brake
man's head jammed between hie leis.
" Como on ye darned heathe sI"
shouted Jonathan, now fairly roused—
"come on ! Pine:ern you to cut up di
doks around me. Pin hired, I be.
Mr.. hired me for the business, and
of I don 3 learn ye ter tend to yer own,
it'll be coz yer strongerin I be!"
A fresh struggle ensued between our
hero and some half dozen others em
ployed on the train, who had gathered
around, and Jonathan was overpowered,
wLen an explanation took place, and the
Superintendent's. "store" was sought
for, but could net be fohnd, ,as the.
I/In
corrigible wag had not been' s _ inemi-
Oohs as to make the engageme t in his

the muscles of his face, and cool assur
arm- aided by a different dress, he suo

th , joke was the denouement.-- The
