Not only shortens the time
of labor and lessens the pain,
but it greatly diminishes
the danger to life of both
mother and child, and
leaves the mother in a con
dition more favorable to
speedy recovery, and less
liable to Flooding, Convul
sions, and other alarming
symptoms. Its efficacy in
tills respect entitles tt. to hs
called The Mother's
Friend, and to rank as one
of the life-saving remedies
of the nineteenth century.

In yon blueitcep where float in boundless
ness
Remote, the tnllllonary orbs of heaven,
Grand epochs, congruous with tho eternal
plans,
lit long, long cycles of returning years,
Attest the presence of the reigning God.
Revolving centuries chime their grand
events
Throughout the mighty framework ot the
skies,
Where solin' centres move their trains of
wot Ids,
And suns and satellites in dazzling pomp
Their gorgeous systems wheel Lluough
space profound;
(’rent ion’s glowing frontier coasting far,
And blending revolutions vast, subllme-
In starry noise upon one awful point!
That point-tho glory of the milky Lane:
(a) Great Muetller’s focal universe! Perhaps
The eounedl chamber or tho King of kings,
hheklnuh’s lofty anti-type, where God
Is seen amid the cherubim enthroned,
And Nature's starlit temple spreads its
dome,
To gather incense f -om ten thousand
shrines,
O! fathomless abyss of wonders now.
Where thought adventurous, reels and
shuns the gaze;
Shrinks back to earth and on her planet
home,
Finds more than scope to try her loftiest
powers.
Anil yet that home, among tho worksof
God,
IIow small; a ray, a pale, a lonely ray,
Amid effulgence of the blazing skies,
Still, still, this minim orb by birth-right
ours,
To Unite minds outspreads phenomena
Of startling grandeur—staggering hoary
Faith,
Confounding Reason, and o’erwholmlng
Thought.
The Eaktu, then be our theme: one
grand event
In all her time-worn history, enough
To crowd the present hour.
Age after age,
Her scathed and rugged form had grandly
borne
The dread catastrophes which rudely
graved
Their petty triumphs on her tuarblo hills,
j Hut still she stood to bide her future woes.
I Of changes wrought by deep convulsive
| throes,
(b) Wide propagated from her burning heart,
(e) Unbuilding sens, upheaving continents,
! Submerging mountain chains in ocean

! And cleaving chasms for her frightened
floods;
! While bursting from her swollen and rup
tured veins,
| (ill Three hundred rivers pout', of liquid lire,
. To blight the land and waste tho fuming
seas!
I Of 1 in so, we nothing say, 'Us ours to mark,
I One scene, one dismal scene, where 1
get nee ruled,
And guilty millions met their changeless
doom.
Man, rebel man, had spurned the reign
of Heaven,
And fiercely rushed to deoils of lust and
blood,
A godless progeny in lapse of years.
Wide spread th'infectiug curse, till steep’d
in sin,
The drunken nations toppled o’er th’abyss.
Which flaming justics opened at their feet;
Retiring Mercy dropped tho final tear,
And exiled Virtue sought her native skies
One aged sire, of all th'abandoned throng.
Still worshiped God, and kept his altars
pure.
Six hundred years had wreathed his noble
brow
With fleecy honors, and his faithful volco,
For five score years, had warned his way
ward race.
The faithful few whose beacon-lights had
shone
In lonely lustre 'mid the moral gloom,
Were gone—and vengeance hurried to her
work.
Old Larnech cloeod his eyes in pence, and
last.
The hoary haired Methuselah, worn down
With pious labors of a thousand years,
Was called to rest, to shun the gathering
storm.
Tho stage was clear; then why should
judgment sloop,
Perdition linger, or fierce wrath delay?
They did not sleep, nor linger, nor delay;
Eirth laboring to her trembling poles,
seemed task’ll
T’evolve the Almighty’s desolating curse.
Hut let us I’iseto contemplation’s haight,
And gaze across the gulf of ages past,
To realize the horrors of the scene.
Rehold! How calm tho earth! how still the
seas!
Portentous silence reigns, while far and
wide,
The dreamy air booms bound in Lethean
spell.
And nature's breathing hosts no change
suspect.
’Tis morning’s dewy hour! the God of Day
On noiseless wheel mounts up the steep of
Heaven,
And sheds his purple beams o’er lake and
hill.
Above, below, around; creation’s hush’d,
As if in dread presentiment of doom.
A pause, an awful pause foretokens ruin !
Hut hark! adistant hum disturbs the air!
Earth’s stirring thousands swell tho ech
oing din,
Not'mark paleNatin'e’ssignalsin theskles,
Her deathlike stillness and her pulseless
frame.
The thoughtless sons of fashion hurry by,
To feast nnd dance, alas! their linal hour;
The wordy merchant lauds liis wares ami
boasts,
The yearly gains his practic’d skill ensures.
The plodding peasant goads his lazy team,
And counts his golden harvest In advance,
While bloated debauchees abhor the light,
And locked in guilty arms, provoke their
late.
No eye is Hoav’nward! Lust and Mammon
rage,
And reeking Passion stooping o'erthemano
With sounding lash and rowels dipp’d in
blood,
Still plies his smoking steed and braves
his doom;
While gory murder, iiercest of his train,
Snuffs th’ Infoctod air, nnd madly waves
His crimson poniard, as he posts to Hell.
O! fearful prelude to the impending curse 1
Dread spectacle! a world without a God!
But mark tho dark’nlng heavens—the
fiery sun,
The rolling vapors, and the deop’nlngstorm,
Egyptian blackness shrouds the morning
skies,
And racking whirlwinds ruffitholr wild ca
reer,
Rod Holts leap 1 hick front clouds surcharg
ed with doath,
Loud herald thunders ring tho nations’
knell,
And Earth “gives sign or woes, that all Is
lost”.
Tho doaf'nlng clarion of tho world-wide
storm,
Awakes the angry deep: thon palsy-struck,
The shuddering globe upon Its axis halts,
And hoary Ocean, restless In his bed,
Uplifts Ills giant form to Alpine heights,
Ami gath’rlng mightier strength from pole
to pole,
Rolls coastwards all iiis world of waves,
nnd swells

Then dashlngon, with fearful shock, assuils
Ills granite barriers of two thousand years,
O’er-plungod far thoir pigmy heights, and
whelms
te) In watery ruin, the trembling continents.
Old Etna groans nnd kisses from his
caves, ,,
To spurn the intruding tides that climb
his steeps,
And dare liis dismal flames—Wild waters
plunge,
In frightful fury down his furnace throat.
Ho heaves amain—Ids red foundations rock
And hot, disgorging from his molten deeps
Whole cataracts of lire— he madly spouts
The boiling seas to drench th’ astonished
skies. .
Vesuvius too, makes bxttlo with tho Deep,
And Flood and Fire contend for mastery
(f) Tombot'o, thundering till his roar Is
heard
Three hundred leagues—confronts the
ocean shock
And like a lies, scotched, and nursing

In forked fury shoots out tongues of lire.
Fierce liecla frowns and l'roiu liis era

But fools his lurid throne profoundly quake,
As revolutionary waves, asleep
For twenty cont’rles.at his rock-bound base

Deep sinuous mountain gorges madly

With pent up seas, impatient of restraint,
And new born gulfs aro cradled in the

Earth’s interior or central heat,

(o) These geological changes ha
actually taken place, and their cons
quent phenomena are plainly record
oil among the mountains, upheavals,
disrupted strata, and fossil and mine
ral deposits of our globe,
(d) The largest estimated number of
active volcanoes new upon the earth's
surface.
(e) Infidelity once carped about the
impossibility of submerging the high
est mountains with the amount of wa
ter contained in ail the oceans and
seas of our globe, and therefore affect
ed to ridicule the Mosaic account of
tho deluge. This point, however, has
been long since settled by calculations
made upon safe data, in favor of the
Divine historian. I have here con
jectured that as the fluids and solids
of our globe, by uniform velocity of
revolution, lmd acquired a common
metal inertia, it was only necessary
for tho Divine fiat to check, for a mo
ment, tho usual speed of its diurnal
movement, and as the waters were
mobile, and could not immediately ac
commodate themselves to the sudden
hange of inertia in the solids, the in
evitable result would be tho outbreak
of oceans, seas and lakes over their
respective barriers and the consequent
submergence of continents: a physi
cal result readily illustrated by the
plunge of a fluid over the lip of a con
taining vessel which lias been sudden
ly stopped when in the midst of a uni
form and brisk motion.
(f) A volcanic mountain in Sutnbar-
va, one of the islands of the Grecian
Archipelago, from wliich|one of the
most fearful eruptions recorded in his
tory, took place, commencing on the
5th of April, 1815, and continuing un
til July following, the explosions be
ing heard to the distance of 960 geo-
f rnphical miles in one direction, and
20 in the opposite.
(g) The revolution of the earth on
its axis being from west to east, a sud
den suspension of its motion would
precipitate the inundating water over
their respective boundaries, in that
direction, so tiiat the western conti
nent of North and South America
would be first submerged by the waves
of the northern and southern Pacific;
Europe, northern Asia and northern
Africa by tlte northern Atlantic ; Mid
dle and southern Asia by the Mediter
ranean, Red Sea, Sea of Arabia and
Bay of Bengal; and New Holland and
the East India Islands by the Indian
Ocean, &<•., interestingly correspond
ing, especially in the northern hem
isphere where most geological exam
inations have been made, to the line
of direction along which the erratic
rocks of Europe and the boulders of
the United States have been evident
ly borne by some great flood of wa
ters, from their original beds.

Their billows blend, and compassing'zones,
With liquid winding-sheets, invest tho

Hut sco! there floats upon the blue expanse,
In dubious shape, a dim and distant thing;
in passive mood, It yields to warring
waves, ,
Then mounts their crests, and hovers In
the air.
It, nears, apace, and hurried by tlte winds,
To bold dimensions grows.—Now lull re
vealed,
A massive pile, it moves in kingly state,
High booming o’er the fathomless abyss.
Amid the op’ning sunshine and the storm,
Now rolling back to leave tho floods at lost,
A gorgeous It liubow spans its lofty brow,
Enthron’d in splendor on the bending skies,
Or, onward still, it drives, o’er deeps pro
found,
O’er Alps! and Apponlnes! and Andes
peaks,
Nor stoops to own the grandeur of their
rank,
A patriarchal palace stands confess 0,
The mammoth wonder of ti world Inhum’d,
Surcharged with lire to stock a world to
come.
Nor helran, nor compass steers the steady
prow,
Supernal Wisdom guides its hold career,
For Noah’s household rides upon tho seas.
Encircled by the promise of Ids Uod.
Float on, immortal voyager, thy Faith
Fast anchor’d by the Eternal throne, con
trols
The God-head’s pledg’d and boundless
pow’r, and when
Tho Assur’d Earth shall swallow up her
seas,
Arid liberated mountains popr again
Above the ransom’d plains, thou still shalt
live,
The godly sire of millions yet unborn !

Female Fancies.
[Exchange.]
A perfectly frank woman in the
matter of marriage is a marvel. No
matter how truthful she is in a general
way, or how loyely her character, the
social traditions that are in vogue
train her to a certain degree of
deception. She even deceives her
self. When a man has paid
attention to a woman for a
year or more, no one else is surprised
that he proposes to her. No other
woman that knows the circumstances
is, In fact; but she always is. ,
It is suggested by a writer in the
Journal of Fabrick r s as a remedy for
the great discomforts women endure
from the wetting of the bottoms of
their skirts in wet weather that since
hoopskirfs are frowned upon by the
modists we all weukhack to the “pat
tens” of our grandmothers. “The
old-time patten,” it says, “had a
leather toe and u sole of wood, and
stood on an ovul ring of Iron. Tiiey
were left with the umbrella at the
door. The materials might be
changed, and something more than
a toe cap would lie needed to keep
them in place, but a modern version
of tin* pattern would be an untold
saving of money and of health, to say
nothing of the time now occupied iu
the washings and brushings that are
the inevitable consequences of walk
ing iu muddy weather and the trial of
temper involved in the destruction of
drapery.”
Women jump at conclusions and
generally hit; men reason things out
logically and generally miss it.
When a woman becomes flurried
she feels for a fan; when a man be
comes flurried he feels for a cigar.
Some women can’t pass a millinery
store without looking in; some men
can’t pass a saloon without going
in.
A woman never sees a baby without
wanting to run to it; a man never sees
a baby without wanting to run from
it.
A woman always carries her purse
in her band so that other women will
see it; a man carries his in his inside
pocket so that his wife won’t see
it.
A man of fashion hates the rain be
cause it deranges the set of his panta
loons; a woman of fashion hates it
because it deranges her complexion.
