THE OCEAN AND ITS DEPTHS.
Professor Olmstead, of New Haven,
has contributed to the last number of
the New Englander (a quarterly publi
cation) an article entitled “ A Philoso
phical Survey of the Ocean,” from
which we extract the following para
graph. The author commends highly
the labors of Lieut. Maury.
The waters of the ocean cover nearly
three-fourths (or more exactly, five-
sevenths) of the surface of the globe;
of the thiity-eight millions of miles of
dry land in existence, ‘wenty-eight be
long to the Nerthern hemisphere. The
mean depth of the ocean has been
variously stated,but may for the present
be taken at four miles; the numefous
soundings uow in progress will soon
enable us to speak with more defiuite-
ness on this point. Enough has alrea
dy been done to prove that the depth is
exceedingly unequal ; that, like the sur
face of the earth, the bottom of the
ocean here rises in mountain peaks, and
there sinks in deep valleys. Until re
cently, the deepest sounding ever made
was that by Capt. Scoresby in the po
lar seas, which was short of a mile anc
a half. As late as 1S48, the maximum
minds, seems, to his morbid vision, but j
one vast black expanse, heavy with’!
mephitic vapors and i>ortentous of com
ing evils.”

Mechanics.—St. Paul was a mecha
nic— a maker of tents from goat’s hair;
and in the lecturer’s opinion, he was a
model mechaiflc. lie was not only a
thorough workmau at his trade, but was
a scholar—a perfect master, not only of
his native Hebrew, but of three foreign
tongues, a knowledge of which he ob
tained by close application to study dur
ing his leisure hours, while serving his
apprenticeship. It was a custom among
the Jews to learn the sons some trade
a custom not confined to the poor
clashes, but was also practised by the
wealthy; and it was a common proverb
among them, that if a father did not
teach his son a mechanical occupation,
he taught him to steal. This custom
was a wise one, and if the fathers of the
present day would imitate their example,
their wrinkled cheeks would not so of
ten blush for the helplessness, and not
unfrequently criminal Conduct of their
offspring. Even if a father intended his
son for one of the professions, it would
be an incalculable benefit to that son to
instruct him in some branch of mechan
ism. His education would not only be
more complete and healthy,but he might
at some future time, in case of failure
in his profession, find his trade very
convenient as a means of earning his
bread: and he must necessarily be more
competent in mechanical from I is pro
fessional education. An educated me
chanic was a model machine, while an
uneducated mechanic was merely a me
chanic working under the supreinten-
dence of another's brain. Let the rich
and the proud no longer look upon me
chanism as degradingto him who adopts
a branch of it as his calling. It is a no
ble calling—as noble as the indolence
and inactivity of wealth is ignoble.—
[Lecture by Rev. Dr'; Adams.
An Elegant Extract.—Tie sea is
the largest of the cemeteries, and it*
siumberers sleep without d monument.
All grave yards in all other lands, show
some symbol of distinction between the
great and the small, the rich and the
poor; but in that ocean cemetery the
king and the clown, the prince and the
peasant, are all alike undistinguished.
The same wave rolls over all—the same
requiem sung by the minstresly of the
ocean issuing to their honor. Over
their remains the same storm beats,
and the same sun shines; and there, un
marked, the weak and the powerful,
the plumed and unhonored, will sleep
THE AIDS OF LIFE.
Its as true as truth, that the duties of
life are more than life itself. To live
comprehends far more than the mere eat
ing, and drinking and sleeping of every
day existence. Gifted, as man is, with
an active, inquiring mind; endowed
with intellectual and moral powers;
with a heart sensitive and alive to plea
sure aud to sorrow ; with an immortal
soul and an after destiny; tbe ends and
aims of his existence are certainly as
lofty as the skies,and far above the little
plans and schemes of life and enjoyment
which now so much occupy aud engross
the thoughts of mortals.
Shakspeare speaks of “ the touch of
nature” which makes all men ** kin”—
uniting them together by a common
bond of brother hood. So to live as to
benefit the human race, rather than to
act as a bane and an injury, seems the
duty of every one.
There is no doubt that an act of
charity or benevolence done to another,
creates in the human bosom a melody
sweeter than the divinest harmony, and
brings a reward far more precious than
the diamonds of the richest mines or the
wealth of the most golden mountains.
And in pursuing the journey of life—a
rugged and thorey pathway, truly with
few flowers to beautify and adorn it—it
is well to remember that all have cares
and troubles and sorrows, which a little
kindness may alleviate if not remove. It
is well to remember that.
‘‘Much of care
Every human heart must bear.”
and that true benevolence consists not
alone in good wishes, but in active
deeds.
The consciousness of having made
one heart happier during the day,
might well serve as a reward for the
performance of a good action. The
promptings of a benevolent nature are
pure and lofty, and shed a tinge of tran
quil happiness over the whole of him
who possess it. As the morning d ew
arises to heaven rich with the fragrance
of flowers it has refreshed and bright
ened, so true benevolence ascends to
the skies, i at ] e n with the blessings of
all those upon whom it has shed one
little ray of warm and genial sunshine.

LAME AND LAZY—A FABLE.
Two beggars, Lame and Lazy, were
in want of bread. One leaued on his
crutch, the other reclined on b* conch.
Lame called on Charity, and humbly
asked for a cracker. Instead of a crack
er, he received a loaf.
Lazy, seeing the gift of Charity, ex-
lairned, ‘ What, ask for a cracker and
receive a loaf? I will ask for a loaf.’
Lazy now applied to Charity and
called for a loaf of bread.
Your demand of a loaf,’ said Chari
ty, proves you are a loafer. You are
of that class and character who ask and
receive not; you ask amiss.”
Lazy, who always found fault, aud
had rather whine than work, complained
of ill-treatment and even accused Chari
ty of a breach of exceeding great and
precious promise. * Ask and you shall
receive.’
Charity pointed him to a paint ng in
her room which presented to bis vision
three personages, Faith, Hope, and
Charity, Charity appeared larger and
more fair than her sisters. He noticed
that her right hand held a pot of honey,
which fed a bee disabled, having lost
his wings. Her left hand was armed
with a whip to keep off the drones.
‘ Don’t understand it.’ said Lazy.
Charity replied, ‘ It means that Chari
ty feeds tbe lame and flogs the lazy.’
Lazy turned to go.
‘ Stop,’ said Charity, instead of coin
will give you eounsel. Do not go and
live on your poor mother, for I will send
ou a rich aunt.'
‘Rich aun»,’ echoed Lazy. ‘ Where
shall I find her ?’
“ You will find her in Proverbs, 6th
chapter and 6th verse.’

Quarreling.—If anything in tlie world
will make a man feel badly, except
pinching his fingers in the crack of a
door, it is unquestionably a quarrel. No
mail ever fails to think less of himself
after, than he did before; it degrades
him in the eye cf others, and, what is
woise, blunts his sensibilities ou the one
hand, and increases the power and pas
sionate irritability on the other. The
truth is, tlie more peaceably and quiet
ly we get on, tbe better for our neigh
bors. In nine cases out of ten, the bet
ter course is, if a man cheats you, to
quit dealing with him ; if he is abusive,
quit his company ; if he slandets you,
take care to live so that nobody will
believe him. No matter who he is, or
how he misuses you, the wisest way is
to let him alone; for there is nothing
better than this cool, calm, and quiet
way of dealing with the wrongs we meet
with.”
