illg lite ime mi arc tl ns t retrogression of niagara falls ii has been a much disputed point whether the celebrated cataract in a former age was at qucenston heights the opinions we now cite on the ques tion are from ly ells principles of geology lately published the falls of niagara afford a magni ficent example of the progressive exca vation of a deep valley in solid rock that river flows from lake erie to lake ontario the former being 330 feet above the latter and the distance betweeen them being 32 miles on flowing out of the upper lake the river is almost on a level with its banks so that if it should rise perpendicularly eight or ten feet it would lay under water the adjacent flat country of up per canada on the west and the state of new york on the east the river where it issues is about throe quarters of a mile in width before reaching the falls it is propelled with great ra pidity being a mile broad about twenty- five feet deep and having a descent of fifty feet in half a mile after this immense body of water has been preci pitated over a precipice of 160 feet the bed of the river below the falls is strewed over with huge fragments which have been huiled down into the abyss b the continual destruction of the rocks the falls have within the last i forty years receded nearly fifty yards or in other words the ravine has been prolonged to that extent through tills deep chasm the niagara flows for about seven miles and then the table land which is almost on a level with lake erie suddenly sinks down at a place called queenstown and the river emerges from the ravine into a plain which continues to the shores of lake ontario there seems good reason for the general opinion that the falls were once at queenstown and that they have gradually retrogaded from lhat place to their present position about seven miles distant if the ratio of recession had never exceeded fifty yards in forty years it must have required 10000 vears for the excavation of the whole avine but no probable conjectuic can be offered as to the probable period of time consumed in such an operation because the retrograde movement may have been much more rapid when the whole current was confined within a space not exceeding a fourth or fifth of that which the falls now ocrupv oiiuuiit uiu cioaic ucuuii iiui uc accel erated in future it will require upwards of 30000 years for the falls to reach lake erie twentyfive miles distant to which they seem destined to arrive in the course of time unless some earthquake changes the relative levels of the district should lake erie re main in its present state until the period when the ravine recedes to its shores the sudden escape of that great body of water would cause a tremendous de luge for the ravine would be much more than sufficient to drain the whole lake of which the average depth was found during the late survey to be on ly ten or twelve fathoms but in con sequence of its shallowness lake erie is fast filling up with sediment and the annual growth of the deltas of many ri- rers and torrents which flow into it is remarkable hardware and cutlery no 51 st paul street hontjtkal 1 fe subscriber having removed to

world in which error a- bounded and the stream had hardly left the fountain when it became defiled with mundane impurities earnestly and repeatedly does the zealous paul inveigh against those who mingled with the beggarly elements and the fa bles of judiasm with ihe spiritual pre cepts of the gospel and strongly does he warn to avoid profane and vain bab blings and opposition of knoioledge falsely so called but the evil was not to be checked and oriental and gre cian philosophy rapidly mingled with gospel simplicity the heat of east ern climates inspires indolence and the love of contemplation the human mind becomes absorbed in rapturous visions of light and expanse and men learn to regard the soul the commence ment of whose existence they cannot conceive as having descended from the realms ofsupernatural light into the body its present darksome dungeon whence it was to reascend to its former blissful abode hence the body being a pri son and matter evil the ohject of the soul was to emancipate itself from their influence tis was to be best effected it was thought by mortification of the flesh and senses and hence the volun tary mutilations the corporal tortures rigid
