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 | deeps, ! 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 Tho wild uproar of struggling elements, 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. .

Sea monsters, from (heir briny homesafar, Float bouyant over Andes proudest peaks, And gambols in tho floods, ’twlxt earth and heav'n, While currents sweet) In vast gyrations round, And furious maelstroms whirl with deaf ehing roar, Till loosened from thoir icy bods on high, Hugo avalanches, trembling headlong down, Are in tho mighty vortices engotg d O'.God of grandeur, who blind sketch tlte scene Whore outrag’d justice stirs tho Eternal arms To signalize its power in judgment pomp ***** Behold how wide stern Desolation reigns Confounded crowds of staring skeptics fly In dripping gaimentsfrom the vengeful floods, . . . , ,. As pouring fast, thf»y rls^ to loftier heights Old age is there, grown buro nnd grey in sin, , , But eschews still Iodic! and dumb ting Earth’s interior or central heat, here recognized. (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. slow, W'iUi crutch and crippled gait seeks neigh b’rlug mounds In vain attempt t’escapn its stormy doom. .Soft Infancy Is there—and rud.-ly torn In shlv'rlng terror from the p nent breast, Sinks down asphyxiate, iu no yawning seas. , Tho deluge grows, till mou .tains under min’d And nodding to their heaving base are seen With thund'ring plunge, cngul; hed to rise no more, , , , Ten thousand whirlpools float their mil lions by, With arras outstretched for help,—their piercing shrieks But swell tlte bollowings ol' the angry s While cities bowed beneath the briny scourge Disgorge thoir drowning throngs—then sink entomb’d. Each lofty pinnacle that longest braves, The grand debacle iu its upward swoop, Hangs cluster’d thick with crowds of hu man forms, Transfix'd with horror, as tho lawless waves In tow'rlng vengeanco lash their tott ring feet, O!

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.
