      tenancy : 'Of a trntii I have appointed myself a BBBtexcmt" m . && Ieai& 4 * rfiteafc rwGrds a ^ st -me Terity of tbi ^ and coHseqnently the angei Gabnel ¦ srss sent to tie earth , to collect a little moist mould or clay to form the pure body of Adam , from that Dlace on -which -Qie holy Kaaba now stands . ' _ ¦ « When Gabriel arrived on the sor&ice of the earth and attempted to take a handful , the Earth adjured Mm , in the name of the Creator of the heavens and the \ ngels , to de « st ; ' for , ' add the Earft , ' some nnworthy creature may be formed ^ of my clay , and on bis account I may fall nnder the displeasure of the Almighty . ' Gabriel , therefore , returned and reported the adjuration and affliction , of the Earth , and his pity on her , to the Almighty who next ap-Micnae ! to

      pointed the angel . uns omce . "The Earth , on his descent , renewed her . complaints , and adjured him not to take any portion of her substance ; he accordingly desisted and returned . God then directed the angel Israfeel to proceed : but as the Earth still continued her adjurations , he also returned ; and the fourth time Azrael ¦ was sent . The Earth attempted to prevent Azrael from performing his office , but he disregarded her adjurations , and ' said , The commands of the Most High are superior to thy oath and imprecations . ' He then collected a handful of mould from every part of the earth , moist and dry , white and black , loose and bound , salt , sweet , and sour . To the number of everv individual of mankind he took

      a little earth , and the grave of every one will be in the place whence he took the earth of which each was formed . As , for instance , the clay of the prophet Mahommed was taken from tke very place where his tomb now stands , at Medina . But to return . — The handiul of earth was taken by Azrael to the garden of Eden , and there moistened or kneaded with the waters of Tnsnim ; and it was made known by Azrael to all the angels and inhabitants of Paradise that the light of Mahommedanism was deposited , with the waters of Tusnim , in the clay of Adam ; and also that the sole object in _ creating Adam was to provide for the future mission of Mahommed , whose head is ornamented with the crown of , ' If it had not been for thee , I should not have created the heavens , ' and his person ennobled by the words , * We did not send thee except out of compassion to mankind . ^ " "Wlien Azrael sad performed all his duties , the Almighty appointed him to receive the souls of departed men ; and by the command of God , the rain of compasaon sxnd mercy fell on the clay of Adam forty days and "forty nights ; ' I knended the clay of Adam forty mornings or days . ' The form of man was given to him by the hand of power , and God breathed life into him— 'With my breath I have inspired him ; ' and from that he received his intelligence or reason , as is written fully in the Mtdtmctcal .

      Aim at Independence of Mind . There aTe some men who go in leading-strings all their days . They always follow the path of others , without being able to give any reason for their opinion . * . There is a proper mental independence which al ! should maintain ; self-respect and the stability of our character require ir . The man who pins his opinions entirely on another's sleeve can have no great respect for his own judgment , and is likely to be a changeling . When we consider carefully what appeals to our minds , and exercise upon it our own reason , taking into % espeetful consideration what others sav upon it , and then come to a conclusion of

      our own , we act «< intelligent beings should act , and only then . ThL < proper independence of nnnd is far removed from presumptuous self-confidence , than' which there is nothing more severely to be condemned . Presumption is tie associate of ignorance ; and it is hateful in the extreme to hear c ome half-taught stripling delivering his opinions with all the authority of an orade . This is not what ive mean by mental independence ; and it is hoped none iriJl mistake what has been ^ aid . We refer to a modest yet iirm and independent exercise of judg * ment upon subjects which the mind understands ; in short , we intend only the opposite of that slavi ^ li habit which makes one man the mere shadow of

      another . —Jtc . J . Stoughton s Address . Associations . —According to the differences of our different nature * , there is lor each man ' s heart a key , as it were , to be fonnd in souie one oi the sense ? . " "With one man it is the grosser sense of the palate , and the things that he has tasted ; the cup that he has drunk in particular lands and scenes , will ,- when again met with , carry back the mind to earlier days and the feelings , thereof ; the affections , the hopes , the fears , will crowd upon him like phantoms from the grave , conjured up by objects that seem to have no apparent connexion with them . To others , again , certain sweet odours , the perfume of a flower , or the mingled sweetness of the morning ' s

      brwath ,- will have the same effect . Vi hile to others , the sight of some peculiar effect of light and . shade , and to others a strain of music , a tone of voice , the carol of a bird , or the living hum of moraine , will call up scenes long pa « t , reawaken memories and affections that have slumbered for years , and give us back the gentleness of our youth . But whea the chord of association is thus strnck , let the sensatioud produced be joyful ot be melancholy , there is something in the first bursting forth of the past npon the present—there is something in the rapid drawing back of the dim curtain of years from between our ¦ actual feelingB and the feelings lone lost , too thrilling _ to'be experienced without deep emotion ; and our natural impulse is to melt in tears .

      Freedom or Inquiry . —Let not the freedom of inquiry be shackled . If it multiplies contentions among the wise and virtuous , it exercises the charity of those who contend . If it shakes for a time the belief that is rested only upon prejudice , it finally settles it on the broader and more * olid bass of conviction . —White ' t Bampton Lectures . Kings r . Philosophers . — The evils of the world will continue until philosophers become kings ; or kings become philosophers . —P / a / o . HaJPIKESS . — It is gratifying whqn the little things of life give an impulse to happiness , for the greater concerns of it caa give none . — Sir JR . Knighton .

      King c People . —A people may let a king fall , yet still remain a people ; but if a king let his people slip from him , he is no longer a king . —Saville Man . —A man who would preserve his integrity untainted , should not put himself into the attitude of a \ il ) ain ; no , not for a moment . The- inward feelings soon accommodate themselves to the outward situation and garb ; the artificial character soon become ! natural ; and therefore I should dislike a . « a player , to act a bad man ; but I would not , as an advocate , defend a bad cause . —5 y / ra , or the

      Wood . Condition of the "Wobkino Classes . — There ean be no doubt that the inordinate thirst for gold , which is a characteristic of England , has been productive of bitter injury to the whole community . Among the highest class it is silently and unobtrusively contemplated and estimated ; bat shewn less to others than in the next class , where to be poor is to be of no esteem . Among the mercantile classes * . person ' s respectability is measured by the length of his purse ; when his wealth is exorbitant , however coarse his inanners ,. or uninformed his mind , the homage and adulation are nauseous and excessive ,

      and . even the magnates join in the worship of the golden calf . " It is obrious that among the lower orders their , estimatioa is in proportion to their means , and the profusion of those above them . This is not a healthy national c-ondidou , and the real statesman must ^ if he be a philanthropist and a patriot , contemplate , it with anxiety as a plague spot , which gradually increase * until it affects the wbole body politic with a gangrene which is past all cvre by usual remedies , and threatens social degradation . The preternatural vigour and activity , and the consequent enonnons mass of manufactured commodities / and the extent of our exports , are all considered

      as proofs of national wealth , obtained after shocks ano fluctuations which would have shattered any other realm , TTealth even may be gathered at too . great a « osi , if the . price be the demoralization of the people . The vigorous straining for gain produces competition , which is followed by a reduction of prqfitK . _ The diminution of wage- » is next in the train ; then the reduction of the standard of living of the workmen , the increase in the number of hours of'labour , until the physical frame can endure no more for the privilege of existing on the least possible ^ jnintrty of food , clothing , and warmth , "What must be | tha . state of a manufacturing population thus reijQPtd ? : Jfot that state which becomes a mighty kingdom , on which .

      IMMXJ TA BILITY- OF THE L A WS OF ' M AT TE Ry—From the remotest period in the earth ' s physical history recognisable by man to the present time , tae mechanical and chemical laws which govern inorganic matter appear to have undergone no change . The wasting away of the solid rocks by water , and and the subsequent deposition and consolidation oi the detritus by heat—the subsidence of the dry land beneath the sea , and the elevation of the ocean bed into new islands and continents—the decomposition

      of animal and vegetable substances on the . surface , and their conversion into stone or coal , under circumstances in which the gaseous principles were confined—the transmutation of mud arid sand into rock , and of earthly minerals into crystals , —these physical changes have been going on through all time , under the influence of those fixed and immutable jaws established by Divine Providence for the maintenance and renovation of the material universe . And although among the sentient beings which have from time to time inhabited the earth we

      discover at successive periods the appearance of new forms , which flourished awhile and then passed away , while other modifications of life sprung up , and after the lapse of ages , in their turn were annihilated , yet the laws which governed their appearance . and extinction were in perfect harmony with those which regulate , inorganic matter . Every creature was especially adapted to some peculiar state of the earth at the period of its developement ; and when the physical condition was changed , and no-longer favourable for the existence of such a type of organization , it necessarily became extinct . Thus we have seen different modifications of animal and

      vegetable life prevailing at different epochs of the earth ' s physical history , yet all presenting fhe same principles of structure , the same unity of purposeall bearing the impress of the same almighty hand . The creation of man , aud the . establishment of the existing order of things—which , we are taught both by relation and by natural records , took place but a few thousand years ago—are events beyond the speculations of philosophy . —Maiitell ' s Lectures on Geology .

      A Slight Objection . — "What a string of excellent moral mandates is the decalogue ! '' said a young preacher .

' " A F ^ st Thotter . — A Yermontese owned a very fine trotter whose extraordinary gpeed he illustrated by the following anecdote : —" -.-1 was driving him one day in a dearborn , " said he , '' I overtook a stranger who was walking the same nay , and I asked him to get . in and ride vrith me ; sd he got in , and just spoke to my horse , and he started off at a middling good trot .

" " Well , "' said the 'clergyman , " I will give you a text out of Job , let me hear what you inter from it " And the a-ses snuffed up tho east wind .

      A Good Example . —A Canadian journalist lately announced the decease of one of his patrons in the following terms : — " In him society has lost one of its choicest ornaments ; the Church has been deprived of a true believer ; hiswifeofaloving"husband , and his children of an affectionate parent ; while we have lost a subscriber always punctual and regular in his payments ! " ... Custom Hovsb Intelligence . —A week ago an air-tight green-house from India , with some

      cur ious plants , was inspected at the Custom House by breaking the glass , and , of course , utterly destroying the exotics , A parallel happened to a noble lord who brought a choice missal from Italy , which the custom house officer , in . spice of the assurances of his servant , declared to be an oil painting ; and to prove that it was so , and chargeable with duty , be ? pat on his fingers and smeared itall over , rubbing the value completely out .

      French Method of Cooking Potatoes . — I cannot refrain from recommending a mode of prer paring potatoes which I frequently observed in France , and which seems to me to deprive that root more thoroughly of its poisonous property than any other method of cooking . There they divide into the thinnest possible slices the potato , raw , not boiled , and fry it in the finest olive oil or fresh butter . It then eats crimp , like the finest biscuit , and is taken like our fried potatoes , with a dish of flesh , although also frequently , according to the French fashion , it eats separately , as a salad .

      Gaixantbt . —A sailor who had spent nearly all his days on the blue water ? , and knew little of land gear , came , ashore the other , day , and in passing up the street saw a little woman . going along with a large muff before her .
