They can be tapped, it is sta ted, for twenty successive seasons, without inju ry; and the trees stand so oiose that they can . gather the eap - from eighty treys in one day, tech tree yielding, on an average, three table spoonsful deny., Forty-three thousand of these trees have been counted in a tract of country thirty miles long by eight wide. There are in America and EuroPe more than one hundred and fifty manufactories of India rubber oracles em ploying some five hundred operatives each, and consuming Fiero then ten million pounds' of the gum per year, and the business Is oonliidered to be still in its infancy. But to whatever extent it may increase, there will still be plenty of rubber 'to supply the demand.—Day. The above is strictly, true, with the slight exception that there is tiota belt a thousand miles in width where the India rubber tree is abundant. They occur in favorable localities within a lew degrees of the tropics, but the Am- Jrzon valley sends more India rubber to - market than the rest of the world. Her exportations of Indla.rubber, or borra cha, will hardly 'amount to less than 15,000,000 pounds for 1870, and much more for the present' year. And the quality averages bet* than that of rubber imported from East Indies. Few, trees yield se little as(three spoons ful per day. 4 -gcidti sized tree, say from one to twoleet:iii . diarupter; usu ally has from_ six to.i*elve cups attach ed to l lValindalithill,rduring,the,w4king 13 6XiOr,''each - Cap - be - ing - safe f or one to` three larg-c epuousful ; old, well worked trees yielding least, while a large, thrif ty, new worked tree may be, bled to the extent of a quart daily, Without percep tible injury. On the Maderia, in - tho republic of BOlivia,,they have a villain- MIS practice 'of n ever . "going" o'l a 'rubber' tree but once, the Seringero girdling it and taking all the .milk it will yield from a deep " bog," cut en-, tirely tround the tree, after which It is left to die. In Ecuador the natives cut deep b t eXes into the trees, near the roots, and lead the Milk - Into - 11614 Ili, the ,grotuk where it is left to ferment Until ;the watery portions evaporate, and it becomes .hard, when it IS 'packed for market, where it ranks as sernamby, or niggerhead, bringing about 8-6ths as much as borracha fina, or A 1. India rubber. Last . month , the prico of the latter ; was $1 05 and $l.lO per pound in New York, and but for the European war,..it would ,be still higher. A rubber walk,' or eatracla, of 100 to 150 trees, is by no, means uncomnion; and there are some walks near 'Breves, XfacaPa and Santarem, of more than 800 trees .1 ' - Mark Twain Lillis describes a speci men "old Mau" 'of Buffalo : .

The cause is manifold ; but whatever it may bp, it certainly is 'deseriing 'of our Most earnest attention ; for, if it is our bounden duty to carry the hope, both of the life which now is, and of that which is to come, to.those of other -races, colors and phases of civilization, there can be no . quesilon as to the obli gation resting upon American Chris= tianB, with respect to these virtual hea thens, so far as the'' visible Church is concerned, in our own midst. Surely it cannot be that all these non.church. goers are what we commonly call , infi dels. We shall indeed be 'slow to be- sieve thtt in any American community three-fourths of the inhabitants have ' consciously and deliberately repudiated the religion "of Christ. We have said that few men are infidel!, from choice. There is nothing lovely, or ennobling; or soul-satisfying, ilk, unbelief. True, human nature is badly depraved ; still, few have got so far in stolidness twit) longer to - feel " this fond desire, this longing after immortality;"-=few Oe actual Atheistsl—few look upon con science or the sense of moral account& Witty as wholly the creature of educa tion. The writer has known such—at least such was their profession ; but there is little danger that their number I will ever become very" considerable. ' And there is hope even of such. To . Barker, an Englishman, once not rio oar. as an Apostle of the boldest and -' seat kind of infidelity, in this con try, has, by the grace of God, of late ears become a clergyman of the Chur h of England. Perhaps the lecturer's xPe deuce was the same as that of some of his hearers. In bis once celebrated dis- _ mission ,With the Rev. Dr. Berg, in Phi .. ladelphia, the friends of both' dispn tants lcupied seats on the platform.— The co trdst between their respective t) t adhere is, in regard to all that is noble. and god ike in human character; did not tail t once to strike some of the auditor on that occasion', and left an impression not soon to be effaced. No,—this class may be rightly called'- exceptional. Wherever we go, in what ever age of the world, we find the ideas of God, of an hereafter, aud of moral accountability. Even heathen writers, like 'Cicero, have' recogul4ed hi this Universal consciousness of Mankind, the Voice of God. And'no ; iti no In our OWn ;titnehee,urged the. Ideas we hive named 1 more earnestly • and elo qu eti tl y than Thebdorn Parker—to whom the writer, in patislrig,, would un hesitatingly acknowledge his great ob ligatl'on. But how any one of evenav erage intelligence can hold these ideas, and fet, upon duedavestigation and re flectibri, fall to believe in Christianity as a supernatural and authoritative Re ligion, seems inexplicable. The Athe- ist is.far more logical , than the Deist; for, tb hold the idea of a Supreme Be ing, nd yet reject'revelation, 'involves heavier draft upon one's credulity than Ttoinanism itself. -But, as Manse' fordihly remarks, while referring to Theodore Parker and Francis Wi NOw man,.” Men -will concede much to phi losophy who will concede nothing to . Scripture.
