Montaigne was never happy without his cat, and, with the pen in his right ,bzunl, while his left was smoothing the glassy hack of his favorite tabby. meditated his essays. lloxhorue, the great Dutch scholar, could never write a word without a pipe in his mouth, and as he preferred a longr pipe, and yet required the use of both hands, he bethought himself of a very ingenious device. He had a hat with an enormous brim, which impcnded in in front of his face: through this he made a hole to support his pipe; thus socureng the double advantage of shading his eyes and en- joying without inconvenience his favorite luxury. and in this way he, produced his voluminous and valuable writings. Hobbes had the same weakness, “ten or twelve pipes,l\vith a candle," being his invariable coneomitants at the desk, and Doctor Parr was not less dependent on tobacco. Southey could never write a line except at his desk, with his books around him, and with fam- iliar subjects by..

There is abundant erideuce that the amount of water on the surface of the earth has been steadily diminishing for many thousands of years. No one doubts that there was a time when the Caspian Sea com- 'munieated with the Black Sea, and when the Mediterranean covered the greater part of the Desert of Sahara. In fact geologists tell us that at one period the whole of the earth was covered by water,and the {act that con- tincnts of dry land now exists is proof that there is less water on our globe now than there was in its infancy. This diminution of our an ply of water is going on at the present ( v at a rate so rapidas to be clearly appreciable. The rivers and smaller streams of our Atlantic States are visibly smaller than they were twentyfive years ago. Coun- try brooks in which men now living were accustomed to fish and bathe in their boyhood have in many calm totally disap- peared, not through any act of man. but solely in consequence of the failure of the springs and rain: which once fed them. The level of the great lakes in falling year by .4 Are We Advancing Are we very much more advanced and wiser than those ‘who have preceded us in the long and stately procession of the cen- turies? We are apt to think such is the case, and to take comfort and pride in it. Except in certain directions it is not so at all. “'e have no better scholars than there were a thousand years ago. The fine arts have advanced but little. No better paintings or engravings can be produced to-day than the arts evoked thr'ce centuries ago. The sculptor's skill, if‘ anything, has retrograded. As line specimens of the chisel are brought forth from time _to time from the buried Nineveh that equal the best of to-day, and these were wrought more than .three thou- sand years ago. In coloring glass we are behind those-who worked a thousand years back. In fact the art of staining glass is a greatly lost artâ€"and a sad loss it is, with all its exquisite, indescribable beauties. No new poetry has been written since Shake- speare put down his pen ; nor i3! any one his equal likely to rise for ages. In certain conveniences, and comforts and luxxu'ies of lifeâ€"â€"in the so-called mechanic, or use- ful, arts, we have progressed. All admit this, and there is abundant glory in it. But in the great essentials which constitute genius, we are not a stepinadvnnec of the far-011‘ Assyrians, who lived in the infancy of time and were cradled in the rays of the newly-horn sun. And with respect to musicâ€"«here, too,- we are in retrograde, and rapidly. It is wellâ€"it is salutaryâ€"to re- member these things. Humility is a good virtue, and very helpful withal. It withers and crushes conceit, and that is a vile Weakness of -most of us. No, do not let us boast of our pre-eminent greatnessâ€"in the line arts at all events. it is true that in point of humanity we progress. In war we treat the canturcd with reason and tender- ness. The Insane. the idiotic, the your, the grand army of irrespm:siblesâ€"â€"tiese, and others of a like kind, are cared for in an enlightened, humane, Christian man- ner. In what else am we rightly and truly claim a superiority? “'0 may be better men and women at heart asa whole, but even here \ e are stnfigered by the perpetra- tion of crimes uhic in' atrocity'no other age has over equalled.
