Gabriel was sent to lie earth , to collect a little moist mould or clay to form the pure body of Adam , from that place on -which the holy Kaaba now stands . "** Wien Gabriel arrived on the surface of the earth and attempted to take a handful , the Earth adjured him , in the name of tie Creator of the heavens and the angels , to desist ; ' for , ' raid the Earth , ' some unworthy creature may be formed of my clay , and on Ms account I may fall under 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 appointed the angel Michael to this office . tenancy : 'Of a truth I hare appointed myself a

      "The Earth , on Ms descent , renewed her comp laints , and adjured friTn 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 Tetumed ; 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 every 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 Mahpmmed was taken from tke very place where his tomb now stands , at Medina . But to return . — The handful of earth was taken by Azrael to the garden of Eden , and there moistened or kneaded with the waters of Tusnim ; and it was made known by Azrael to all tie 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 . " "When Azrael bad performed all his duties , the Almiehty appointed him to receive the souls of departed men ; and by the command of God , the rain of compassion and mercy fell on the clay of Adam forty days and'forty nights ; * I knetided 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 iim—' With my breath I have inspired him ; ' and from that he received his intelligence or reason , as is written fully in the Multmnral "

      Aim at Independence of JMind . There aTe some men who go in leading-strings all their days . They always follow the path of other * , without being able to give any reason for their opinions . 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 v . hat appeals to our minds , and exercise upon it our own reason , taking into Respectful consideration what others say upon it , and then come to a conclusion of our own , we act rv < intelligent beings should act

      and only then . This proper independence of inind is far Temoved from presumptuous self-confidence , than' which there is nothing more severel y to be condemned . Presumption is the associate of ignorance ; and it is hateful in the extreme to hear some half-tanght stripling delivering his opinions with all the authority of an oracle . This is not what we mean by mental independence ; and it is hoped none will mistake what has been said . ^ Ye refer to a modest yet firm and independent exercise of judg . ment upon subjects which the mind understands ; in short , we intend only the opposite of that slavish habit which m . ikes one man the mere shadow of another . —i&r . J . Stouchlon ' s Address .

      Association ? . —According to the differences of our different natures , there is lor each man ' s heart " a key , as it were , to be found in soaie 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 seenc-s , will , when again met with , carry back the mind to enrlitr days and the feelings thereof ; the affections , th * 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 tbe morning ' s breath ,- will have the same effeet . "While to others

      the saght of some peculiar effect of light and shade , and t" others a strain of mu ? ic , a tone of voice , the carol of a bird , or the living hum of morning , will call up scenes locg past , reawaken memories and affections that have slumbered for years , and give us back the gentJeness of our youth . But when the chord of association is thus strnck , let the sensatioua produced be joyful ot be melancholy , there is something in the first bursting forth of the past upon tbe present—there is something in the rapid drawing back of the dim curtain of years from between our "actual feelingB and the feelings long lost , too thrilling -to / be experienced without deep emotion ; and our natural impulse is to melt in

      tears-Freedom of 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 basis of conviction . —White t Bampton Lectures . Kings r . Philosophers . — The evils of the world will continue until philosophers become kings ; or kings become philosophers . —Plalo . Happiness . — It is gratifying whan the little things of life give an impulse to happiness , for the greater concerns of it caa give none . — Sir _ R . Knight on .

      - Kino f . 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 villain ; no , not for a moment- The inward feelings soon accommodate themselves to the outward situation and garb ; the artificial character soon becomes 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 . — Syloa , or the

      Condition of the "Working Classes . — There can 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 ; but shewn lees to others than in the next class , where to be joor is to be of no esteem . Among the mercantile classes a person ' s respectability is measured by the length of his purse ; when his wealth is exorbitant , however coarse hia manners , or uninformed his mind , the homage aud 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 . estimation isin proportion to their means , and the profusion of those above them . This is not a healthy national conditiou , and the real statesman must ^ if he be a philanthropist and a patriot , eontemplateit with anxiety , as a plague spot , which gradually increase * until it affects the whole body politic with a gangrene which is past all cure by usual remedies , and threatens social degradation . The preternatural vigour and activity , and the consequent enormous mass of manufactured commodities , and the extent of our exports , are all considered as proofs of national wealth , obtained after shocks

      and fluctuations which would have shattered any other realm , "Wealth even may be gathered at too great a * ost , if the . price be the demoralization of the people . The vigorous straining for gain produces compet ition , which is followed by a reduction of prqfitK . The diminution of wage- * is next in the tra | n ; 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 imtntity of food , clothing , and warmth , "What must be I the-state of a manufacturing population thus rajotSttt ? - Jfot that state which becomes a mighty "kingdom , on "which Providence has showered the ehpirettWestings , where no enemy has . borne the

      ears , only to be forgotten . —Miss Martineau . Immutability -of the Laws of Matter — From ; the remotest period in the earth ' s physical history recognisable by man to the present time , tbe 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 consoudation of 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 connned—the transmutation of mud and 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 laws 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 hew forms , which flourished awhile and then passed awav 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 necessaril y 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 r > f purposeall bearing the impress of the same almi ghty hand . Tbe creation of man , 3 nd 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 tbe speculations of philosophy . —Maiitell ' s Lectures on Geology .

      A Slight Objection . — " "What n string of excellent moral mandates is the decalogue ! '' said a young preacher . " Aye , Sir , " responded his clerk , " but some folks would like the string better , if it were not so full of nots !" A Fast Trotter . —A Yermontese owned a very fine trotter whose extraordinary speed he illustrated by the following anecdote : — " 1 was driving him one day in a dearborn , " said he , " and I overtook a stranger who was walking the same way , and I asked him to get in and ride with me ; ¦ ' < . he got in , and just spoke to my horse , and he started off at a middling good trot . Presently the stranger a ^ ked what grave yards we were passing through ? Oh ! ( said I ) it ' s nothing but milestones . "

      An Inference . — A servant had lived many years with a clergyman , and his master took occasion to say— li John , you have been a long time in my service : I dare say you will be able to preach a sermon as well as I .

" " Well , " said the clergyman , " 1 will give you a text out of Job , let me hear what you inter from it : " And tbe a > se . < = snuffed up tho enstwind .

Family Matters . —Several years ago the Eapers teemed with accounts of dreadful street roberies . " Why , bow is this , Townseud ? " said a

      . Nobleman , " what is the reason of all these street robberies that we hear so much about ?"— "Family matters , my Lord , " replied Tdwnsend . ¦ " " Family matters ! " returned his Lordshi p , what do you mean by that ? "Why , my Lord , when " a family man has gone astray , and thrown away his money upon a loc ^ e fi > h , he must make up some story for the good woman at home ; and so be tells her a terrible tale about being knocked down and robbed ; that ' s all—mere family matters .

His Lordship might have quoted the following excellent defence lately setup by a " down east" lawyer : — " There are three points in the cause , may it please your honour , " said the defendant's counsel ; "In the first place , we contend that the kettle was cracked when we borrowed it ; secondly , that it waa whole when we returned it ; and , thirdly , that we sever had it .

" ,.. Customhouse Intelligence . —A week ago an air-tight green-house from India , with some

      cunous plants , was inspected at the Custom House by breaking the glass , and , of course , utterly destroying the exotics . A parallel happened to a nobl e lord who brought a choice missal from Italy , which the custom house officer , in : spite of the assurances of bis servant , declared to be an oil painting ; and to prove that it was so , and chargeable with duty , be spat on his fingere and smeared itall over , rubbing the value completely out .

There they divide into the thinnest possible slices tbe 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 .

      Gallantry . —A sailor who had spent nearly all his days on the blue waters , aud 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 . He stepped up very politely , and offered to carry it for Her , as h was going the same way . Realities . —A person being pked what w ' ab meant by the ' realities of life , ' answered—real estate , real money , and a real good dinner none toi which could be . realised ; . without real hard work .
