Thi* i« u remarkably shrewd book, wo oan-
notoall it able, as tho author falls into
errors in reasoning and Biblical interpre
tation that aro obvious to tho goueral He
brew student. Vet ho asserts what our
•blest ethuulgists have muiutaiuod, viz,
that tho diversity of races are attributable
to a diversity of origin. Mr. Davis, how
•vor, undertakes to prove this from tho
Bible, while tho ethnologists, taking tho
Mosaic aooouut of mau's creation as lilor-
•li base their reasoning on deductions
from well established scientific premises.
The reasoning is ouuuiug, aud tho book
must bo of groat interest to tho student
of sacred history, us well us tho reader
who likes to trace such reasonings from
beginning to end and mark tho iiaws in
the logical chain.
Betiie Wtimer ton, published by the

affluence, but who by fluanoiul troubles
involving her fathor’s fortune, became a
governess, aud so struggled up with vary
ing fortunes to a proud position. The
character drawing is rather weak, but the

LippiMott's Magazine for March has
come to hand, with its choice budget of
contents. Typographically it is the best
monthly published exoopt the Aldine, and
its literary mutter is excellent. We shall
regret when Struhan completes “the Now
Hyperion," which, with its quaint illus
trations bus boon a growing attraotion for
months. “Iu a Caravan with Goroine,
the Painter," is a finely illustrated and
well writtou article, descriptive of oaravan
life iu North Africa. “Malcolm," by
George McDonald, is continued. “Fer
dinand de Lessupi" in another illustrated
article. But the boat way to get an idea

OBSERVATIONS FROM Till: MOON.
Mr. Editor:—Asa matter of courao,
my locality affords rare opportunities for
making observation and tuking notes of
such matters and things as transpire upon
your great torrestral ball. Hero I am
condemned conselessly as ixion upon his
wheel, to moke thirtoon times n year tho
circuit of your globe ; aud it must not be
complained of, nor wondered at, if as an
offset for giving you light by night, I
shall insist upon inflicting somo ad via: by
day. 1 apply to you tbo term great, un
derstand mu, only iu a relative sense ; for
though your astronomers point at mo
thoir telescopes, and declare my domain
only tho ono-sixtieth part us largo us
theirs, yot you too havo your master, the
great central sun, around whom you
must move in an orbit much moro tedious
than mine, aud must take me along in
the bargain.
Having for all timo boon tho solo und
undisputed occupant of this littlo world,
(your astronomers maintaining, among
other things, thut the moon is not liahilu-
blo, allowing me only u traditional nnd
nomndio existence), it bus boon with me
a necessity to cultivnto tho senses of
sight anil hearing, so that even ut the
distance of two hundred und forty thou
sand miles, both have become intensely
acute. Your puoplo, too, labor undor tho
same disadvantage, as tho group of To
ut whom tho oross-eyed Nancy Hurt
pointing tho guir, for though yon all
look ut mo when you list, you uovor
know at whom I'm looking, nor to whom
listening. Now thou, boing com
pelled nolens rolens to do you n perpetual
Servian in one way, I aiu just perverse
ugh to attempt the peiormunro of
other sorvioos, in my own way. Before
cotuiuoucieg, however, to tell a grout
many things that 1 have seen acted, nnd
hoard said, during theso several thousand
(and moro especially of late) by tbo
puoplo of your globo, 1 shall wait a few
days to givo tho parties ohnigonblo tho op.
portuuity of reformation, and though the
missiles I intoud to hurl down from hero
will novor be aimod ut individuals, but ut
olnssuH only, yet if nny particular some
body moves about and guts in the way,
he or she must not complain of being
moonstruck.
Furthermore, it must bo understood a'
the outBet, that I shall bo allowed to be
vory disoursivo iu those romnrks— shall
assume unusual latitude of mutter and
manner, aud oven if iu my rumbling 1
shall “blow hot and cold with the sumo
breath," it uiUNt also he borne in mind
that tho distinguishing characteristic of
my habitation (of which of course 1 am

phases nml ovou to cuanok altogether.
Tho experience of tunny thousand years
lias taught tuo the wisdom of tho maxim,
that “whoover varies none of his opinions
corrects uoue of his errors;" and it may
bo added with perhaps equal wisdom,
that whoever alters nothing iu his con
duct, improves nothiug iu his character,

correspondent, ut olio time full of my
importance and giving you light to my
utmost capacity, at uuothor new aud crude

An exchange says iu tho range of
mouutains iu Western North Carolina,
known ns the “Fox Range," a most sin
gular phenomenon exists. It is a “breath-
lug cave." Iu tho summer mouths a cur
rent of air comes fio.u it so strongly that
a person can’t walk against it, while iu
the winter the suction is just ns grout.
Thu cool air from the mouutuiu iu the
summer is folt for miles, in a direct liuo
from tho mouth of the cave. At times n
most tiupleasant odor is emitted upon the
current from dead carcasses of animal-,
sucked iu nnd killed by the violeucc.
The Iobs of cattle aud stock in that sec
tion in winter is accounted for in this
way : They range too noar tho mouth of
the cave, aud the^urrent carries them in.
At times, when the change from iuhulu-
tiou to exhalation bogius, tho air is tilled
with various hairs of auimals ; not uu-

found miles from the place. Tho air has
beeu known to change materially iu tem
