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.” sounding was that of Capt.

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. l)ooo tom, as is indicated by their appearance on, until awakened by the same trump, *’5001 w ^ en they rise again to the surface - when the sea will give up its dead.

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.’ Moral.—instead of waiting for an uncle to die, go and see how rich aunt lives. that a butler would be cheaper ?’ Wolf was for sheep stealing, ana who stood in as much need of moral suasion as the dog- lshut Wolf up in the ham with tliiaoltk follow^ind the consequence was, that the dog nevei looked a sl eep rn the face again—The ram broke every bone in his body litterally : Wonder fully uplifted was the ram as aforesaid by his exploit, llis insolence became intolerable; he was sure to pitch into whomsoever went nigh him. ‘I'll fix him/ and so 1 did. 1 rigged an irou crow bar out of a hole in the barn, point foremost, and hung an old bat on the end of it.

WOMANS BEAUTY. It is not the smiles of a pretty face, nor the tint of her complexion—nor 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.” No so Very Green.-—A young and apparently verdant strip, who gave his hailing place as ’Old Varmount,’ found next to the seems to be it.’ ‘It’s got a darned sight o’housfes in sum of one dollar, post paid.
