I saw a stream, whose wave were bright
With morning's dazzing sheen,
But gathering clouds, ere fall of night,
Had darkened o'er the scene ;
How like that tide my spirit sighed,
This life to rne had been !
The clouds dispersed ; the glorious West
Was bright with closing day,
And on the river3 peaceful breast
Khone forth the sunset ray;
lly spirit caught the soothing thought
Thus life might pasa away.
I saw a tree with rip'ning fruit
And shading foliage crowu'd
But ah, an axe was at it3 root,
And fell'd it to the ground ;
Well might that tree recall to rr.c
The doom my hopes had found.
The fire consumed it, but I saTf
Its smoke ascend on high ;
A shadowy type, beheld with awe,
Of that which cannot die,
But from the grave shall rise to crave
A home above the sky.
OUR SATUISDAY XIDIIT.
The Family Record
Saturday Night again ! How
tlie Avecks come and go singly
here blended into one varied prist
as they are called to His presence.
To-night Ave opened the Bible by
chance at the Family liccord.
Singular ! Exactly between the
old and the new the past and the
coming, so far as affects our fu

Married !
Died !
Three words and the sum of life
is told. JJora and who cares for
us ? Only one or two.
Married and who cares for us?
As if there were more than one to
answer?
IMed Oh God ! let us not be
forgotten by those who say they
love us, and who will not forget us,
no matter whether married or died,
given or mated, here or hence.
Little would there be of life did not
some one love us did wo not
think that some heart, would hold
our memory sacred that 'way
over the wondrous river where the
skies are brighter, the seasons more
even, the joys sweeter, would we
hnd waiting us, or stand waiting
the coming of the loved.
At best it is but a short stay
hcre. Hardly long enough to be
come acquainted. Merely an eve
ning call, and good-by ! But so
it is written, and so Ave are content.
Xo one escapes death. We do not
wish to. It makes but little differ
ence whether we go at noon or
sundown, if our new home be hap
py. Without a doubt or tremble
we are ready to go, for ours is that
full faith which has long since
made the heart entirely at rest con
cerning the future. When the
carriage comes we are ready to go
meanwhile we will look at the
pictures, chat Avith our friends, or
put the house a little more in or
der for those Avho remain, that they
may not be compelled to do the
work Ave might have done.
And yet Ave do not care to go.
All these beautiful skies bright
stains, trees, hills, rivulets, hikes,
tlowers, and the pastimes for hu
manity Avill remain for others as
toilet articles are left after we have
gone to the party ! We can part

the tlowers arc over yonder. 3 Suds
here, ilowers there. And we shall
not care for the beauties we le u e
when at rest over there ! Age
puts aAvay the toys of childhood,
for they are no longer wanted.
But Ave had rather stay than go,
for we do not know Avho Avill care
for our loved ones! Who Avill
look OA'er all the little scrolls of pa
per, the letters, memorandums, a d
keep-sakes ? Somebody. And they
Avill smile at our old fancies, and
wonder Avhy this little thing be
here, and that oue there, saved so
carefully. Little will they know
the history each could tell or why

Avho ga-e us that priceless jewel
years ago ? Who ay ill care for the
one Avho for Aears has been so
good, so pure, so true, so kind, so
loving? This is the only real
sting death has. They Avho walk
hand in hand, palm in palm, for
years on the road, cannot bear to
part. Who Avill care for the one
who with us, years ago, stepped,
as it were, behind the screen, to
Aveld hearts for the future? For

Who Avill protect her? Who

may enter and kuoAV that all ay it Il

we do ? Who Avill hold her hand,
still her troubles, look so truly and

take our houses and lands our
books, pictures, letters, keepsakes,

for they are but things of our crea
tion, prized more in the chaethan
capture but God gave us to each
other and may we be not long
parted. She has been so good to
us so kind so true so earnest.
Xcwer a Avrong has she done us or
falsehood told. When came the
storm, to our heart she came for
shelter. When there Avas bcauty
in the sky, 'twas she Avho pointed
it out to us.
When others said we would fail.
'tAvas she avIio said we could not
and would not, for her love Avould
sustain us. To be sure ours was
but the home of a Avorkimrman,
but never did walls contain more
priceless treasure. When others
were cold and cruel in words, she
was good and kind. Yheu others
doubted our purpose or honor, she
never did, and thus made us strong
and invincible.
And her hand has soothed our
pain stilled the temples wiklly
throbbing her eye gone into the
depths of that darkness which, like
a fog of I lades, at times en v elops
the stoutest and brightest heart, to
drive it away her kiss lias brought
life and warmth to energies her
words have so often kindled anew
the tires of hope on an ash-covered
hearth her life, ideas, Aviskos, '

have so woven m with ours tnat
the great joy of life brings' the
great rting of death !
Who Aviil protect the one Ave so
Ioa'C tltot ? it is the only agony
approaching dissolution doth
bring. Will she be tempted ? Per
haps ; for ail are. Will she fall?
Xo a million times no? Yv'ili
she suffer? Xo, for Ave Aviil Avork
and save lest the one or ones so
dear to" us should come to Avant.
X"o, Ave must not let her suffer
we Avill guard against that, and if
she be good and not sellish, this
care Avill make her love us the
more. And herein confess we to
ten-fold sellishess ! But we cannot
help it.
And so avc Avork, and love, and
labor, and look to the future that
we may not leave her, the best
loved of all to suffer to mourn
Avhen we are sleeping undisturbed,
A'isited only by her; she may be
cared for wrapped and safe in
the mantle Avoven by our hands
while ou earth. Who Avill earn a
home. Will not lose it in dissipa
tion. Will not tarnish our love
for her by contact Avith all Avill
not spoil the beautiful dinner she
Is ever preparing for us alone by
partaking of here a little and there
a little as homeward Ave journey.
He Avho truly loves knows Avhat
this means and it means more
than it contains Avords.
The Avinds might blow A'ery,
A'cry cold on her, and Avho Avould
Avraj the mantle of true love-about
her, for who Avould knoAV her Avorth
as
do
Ave?
And avc know her
heart Avould go down like lead into
the Avaters of bitterness when came
the hour Avhich said, " no more can
he come." Others might be good
to her, and. kind, and gentle. 'Jut
Avhat is their ' good" to our love

And there are others Avho Avould
mourn as avc Avould, should they
go down before us but these
could live and love, comforted in
their 1oacs, which Avould absorb
grief CAen for the dearest friends.
And we should feel so sad and
hcartsore to think avc must die or
go home Avithout having all the
unkind Avords avc may have hastily
spoken, forgiven. Oh, how the
memory of unkind Avords lives in
the hea"rt. Let us not speak them
to the ones we love. Let us be
better, more kind and gentle, bear

quite perfect none except our
loves. And if they are, avc must
not speak unkindly if they are
not, avc must forgive them! Oar

A REVOLUTION IX GEOLOGY.
A recent article in the Advance
haAring elicited inquiries as to the
Aqueous Formation of Granite, and
the bearing of that theory on the
interpretation of Genesis, it may
be interesting to many of our read
ers to give a statement of the ques
tion and the progress of the discus
sion. We do not of course pre
tend to speak Avith the authority
of professional geologists, but sim
ply to present the statements of
some of the most eminent scieuti-
fie men ou the
subject such as
iO-?0, i, if -v.-. iVwt
Ax-ted and
many others, ayuo now
ackiiowl-
edge granite as an aqueous forma
tion. The current theory is, that our
globe lias been formed from a con
densing nebuhe of gas at an in
tense heat, Avhich gradually cooled
down into the condition of molten
metal, of which the granite is the
principal part ; that a thin crust of
cooling matter, forming t lie present
habitable globe solidified upon the
surface, and the action of the rains
washing dovn the exposed surface
into primeA'al seas has formed the
sedimentary strata, Avhich Avcre
again elevated by earthquake, or
more gradual uplicaA'als, to their
present positions. Such is the the
ory of the text books, illustrated
by engravings of sections of the
interior of the earth, showing tile
crust as less in proportion to the
molten interior, than the skin of
an orange to the pulp.
It has been known, howcA'er, to
advanced geologists, ibr some time,
that facts were accumulating con
tradictory to this hypothesis. In the
meetings of the Geological Society
of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, of the
French Institute, and of several
German. Scientific Associations, pa
pers were read from time to time,
and translated and published in the
scientific journals, assailing one or
the other of the grounds of the Ig
neous
Theory ; and Aviihin the last

have been laid before the scientific
world.
and tiro now in process of
discussion. Uiese papers have
not, till quite recently, attracted
the notice of American Geologists,
Avho though prompt to publish any
alik'ged facts apparently hostile to
the Bible, such as the hoaxes of
the Abbeyville and Calaveras
skulls, are not at all quick to per
ceive facts tending to establish its
authenticity. Theologians gener
ally are not apt to be familiar Avith
scientific periodicals, preferring to
wait and receive their science after
it lias been filtered from its crude
contradictions and "digested into
A' ohim.es. Thus they JnTve not had
their attention called to these re
cent discoveries.
The attacks on the Bible at our
Chicago Academy of Sciences and
of several speakers at the meetings
of the American Association in th is
city, last year, however, induced
Rca Bob-cut Patterson, D. D., to
deliVcr a course of lectures on the
DeA'clopmeut theory, including the
nebuher, the Geological and the
Zoological Departments, and to
publish the examination of the As
tronomical department in the
Family Treasure (Western Tracfc
Society, Cincinnati), and the lec
ture on The Aqueous Formation
of Granite in the April number of
t he American Preshyterletih Jievicw.
This articles has proAoked the crit
itism of The Independent, and of
many of the Unitarian papers ;
Avhich, hoAvever, do not pretend to
contradict tho facts alleged. .They
simply assail Dr. Patterson as a
scientific authority. It should he
Stated, howcA'er, that he does not
offer himself a scientific authority
in the question ; he simply narrates
the discoA eries and experiments of
scientists, and quotes his authori
ties for the facts he alleges. We.
subjoin a resume of his article as
the most compendious mode of
stating the case :
The igneous theory is the geo
logical continuation of the Nebu
la? r Theory; Avhich has been ex
ploded by. the great discoA'cries of
Spectrum Analysis, and. The Cor
relation of Forces ; the former dis
proAung the existence of homoge
neous eternal nebula?; the latter 1
reducing an tnc motions oi me
heaA-ens to mechanical motion, and
the laws of mechanics proving that
a mechanical Perpetual Motion is
impossible.
The only physical facts alleged
in support of the igneous theory do
not logically piwc it. These are
the increase of the temperature as
we &ink into the earth ; and the
phenomena of earthquakes, volca
noes, etc., Earthquakes howeA'ci'
1 have a docii different thcoric:.
The increase of temperature is not
according to any uniform rate ;
in some of the English mines one
degree for every forty-four feet ;
in Saxony one for every sixty-five
feet ; in the Dalnath mine in Corn
Avall, a degree for every seventy
five feet ; Avhile ivupfer gives as
the result of his researches, just
half of this, a degree fer CA'ery
thirtA-seven feet. The artesian
well at Chicago, at a depth of 700
feet, should give Avater at Kupfer"'s
rate, nearly 20 degrees above the
aA'crage temperature, Avhile in fact
two
s:-i;i
degrees below it. The arti
wcsl rvt St. Lou's shows a ei mi-
lar contradiction of the theory.
These discrepancies indicate not
one general Avorid-wide source of
heat, but many separate, A'arious
and local causes. There is no agree
ment among geologists as to the
amount of the internal heat. Hum
boldt calculates the solid crust at
twenty-four miles; Hopkins at eight
hundred. Gordier says the heat of
the internal sea is 45(5,000 F., or
about one hundred and sixty times
that of melted iron.
This is contrary to the law of
melting bodies. Every foundry
man knows that lie cannot raise a
crucible of melted metal aboA'e the
melting point Avliilc a bar of the
unmelted metal floats in it. It is
also contrary to all the experience
of steam boilers that A'olcano holes
should exist for five minutes in the
shell without blowing off all the
gas and liquid Avithin, as the Fssex
Avas blown off when riddled with
rebel shells. It is contrary to the !
laws of hydrostatics, since the tides !
of an infernal sea of molten gran-j
ite Avould speedily destroy the shell
with the attacks of a hydraulic
ram four thousand miles in length.
It is also contrary to the dynamics
of astronomv; a a-lobe chierlr. mol-
ten could not retain its present
shape halt a year, it is contrarv
to the laws of heat : a cooling
globe must also contract; but our
earth lias not sensibly contracted
since the earliest measurements.
Influenced by these considera
tions a number of observers set
dovYii to study the problem do novo.
They dis overed in the ejections of
A olcanoes, Avater, shells, fish, and
even pine twigs. It was evident
to them that these things did not
groAv in a lake of lire. Then they
found that contrary to the theory
of granite being the primary rock,
it Avas more recent than any other;
being found overflowing and up
heaving both secondary and ter
tiary strata, and that in great
abundance. Next it Avas discover
ed that all tho constituents of
granite existed in the sedimentary
rocks minerals Avhich Avould havc
boon changed at a far lower heat
than that necessary to melt granite
rock. Then fossils were discover
ed in granite rock. Next the quality
oT granite Avas found to be of the
specific gravity of 2.0, proving that
it was formed from an aqueous so
lution, and not by fire which
would have a specific gravity of
2.0. Then Avater marks AVere found
in mica. Finally, Daubree has ac
tually manufactured fieldspar, in
the remaining constituent of gran
ite, by mixing kalairi Avith the alka
line solution, at a temperature of
00 C. under presure. This com
pletes tho demonstration.
The most eminent geologists ac
cept tho facts. Sir Charles Lyell,
lii taking the Chair of the British
Association in 1804,. asserts it cx
cathedra ; and Professor Austed
last year read a paper before the
same Association ou The Conver
sion of Sf ratified Rock into Gran
ite, exactly reversing the anti
biblical theory. He says: "Ge
ologists, until recent lv. Lorn

rock, as the nucleus of the earth,
and as having been from time

constructed. The observations of
JJaubrcc and Lerby, show that all

Avith water, under great pressure,
at a temperature below molt inn-
heat; that it had neither been
ejected, nor had it formed a frame

as the geologists have demanded
millions of years. And the Avhoio
business is a good specimen of tho
scientific superstition which accepts
improved and impossible theories
as of sufficient importance to shako
men's faith in the word of God.
Such is an outline of the lecture.
Of course ayc do not commit our
selves to it, as ayc have not had
opportunity to examine the author
ities ; but Ave commend the subject
to the careful investigation of all
interested in the bearing of geology
upon the Bible; since, if Dr. Pat
terson's authorities are trustworthy,
as they seem to be, this is nothing
less than a revolution in Geology.

CATS IS A QUEER AXIMAL.
What under the sun possesses
them to go about nights like roA'
ing lions is more than. ayc can tell.
Instead of doing their transactions
in the daytime like honorable men,
they go about at unseemly hours
Avhen people Avould sleep, and in
fliet much undue interruption upon
sluraberers. In fact, their noctur
nalings in this city are becoming
too grieA'Ous to be borne.
And avc respectfully petition
Kennedy's clubs to light on the
aforesaid felines, Avho have no mora
feeling for a fellow than to get un
der his AvindoAV at the dead hour
of night, with melodies more re
sembling the Boston Peaeej Jubilee
than they do music. What they
yawl and squall about is more than
aa-c can understand. It shows tho
tom-cat-foolishness of cats, and of
ten leads us to exclaim in the lan
guage of the Projhct: Why arc
these things thus ?
They remind u.s of the Pharisees,
and therefore Ave say unto them,
av lien you thus enter upon your de
votions go into your closets secret
ly, and do not make so much dis
turbance to be heard of men. Just
as if men would not know Avhat
you were doing, or take any satis
faction therefrom, or receive any
benefits by them confeiring the
aforesaid rites in the dead hour-of
night.

Oh cats, it is our opinion you
arc a humbug! Hasten the time
when cold weather shall aaain
cause a demand for sausages, and
blessed be the man Avho lirst in
A ented fiddle-strings, thereby -hut

good purpose. It you arc hero
Avhy don't you staA at home and
not go visiting, to boo-loo over
family troubles. AYhy go as it
Avere into the neAvsapers Avith your
little complaints? Why not be
not take good adA'ice and warning,
that your last end be not worse
than your first? For if you do
not cessate your midnight under
the AvindoAV where Ave A-ainly at
tempt repose, there aauII be maify
things lighting down upon you,
other than Horatio dreamed of in
his philosophy.

opncsymg is the order of
the day. The Hickman (Ky.)
Courier says Miss Susan Caroline
Goodsey, the sleeping Avonder, died
at her mother's home, some eight
miles from Hickman, on Wednes
day, July 14th. The history of
Miss Goodsey is well knoATn to tho
public, a statement of her Avondcr
ful condition having been publish
ed exU .'nsively by the press of tho
United States. "At the time of her
death, Miss Godsey, AA'as about 20
years cf age, and had been asleep,
as described, about 14 years. She
said the " sun Avill be a total eclipse
on the 7th of August" (this is re
markable, because parties assert
that she could have had no knoAvl
edge that this Avas according to
calculation), "and that the sun
would never shine as bright after
that day; that this would indicate
the end" of the world, Avhich AA'a3
