The common earth -worm, though apt to be despised and trodden on, is really a useful creature in its way. Mr. Xuapp describes it as the natural maa- nrer of the eoif, couaunaiug on the sur- face the softer part of decayed vegeta- ble matters, and conveyiug downwards the more wooly fibres, which there molder and fertilize. They perforate the earth in all directions, thue reudor- fag it permeable by air and water, both indispensable to vegetable life. Accord - 1 ing to Air. Darwin's mode of expression they give a kind of under tillage to the laud, performing the same below ground that the spade dons above for the gar- den, and the plow for arable soil. It is, in consequeuco, chiefly of the nat- ural operations of worms that fields which have been overspread with limo, burnt marl or cinders, become in prc- gess of time, covered by a fiuety-divided .soil, fitted for the support of vegeta- tion. This result, though usually at- tributed by farmers to the "working down" of these materials, is really duo to the action of earth -worms, as may be seen iu the innumerable casts of which the initial soil consists. These are obviously produced by the digestive proceedings of the worms, which take into their intestinal canal a large quan- tity of the soil in which. they feed and burrow and then object in the form of the tie -called oasts. "In this manner," says Dr. Darwin, "a field ` manure(' with a marl has been ,covered, in the course of 80 years, with a bed of earth averaging 13 inches in thickness." Future Conquest •O.,Zmertca by asiat•trs, As aurely as the Aryan race will pour into and occupy Spanish America so surely will the Chinese pour into the United.States of North America ; each race preferring to settle in the country whose climate mora nearly resembles that of the lands from whence they ,corse. The Mongols are coming .now'. :by thousands, they will soon come by ;millions, and can the rafts now inhab- iting the United States . live in unison 'with them? The answer is again, No t TheCelt and the Teuton and the Negro cannot live on what supports the Mongol, and the Mongol will push them out of all ways of earning. their 'living aas•these rapes live now. The natural rebidence of the Celt and the Teuton will be the North, Canada, where the Mongol will not care to come in any number, as he cares not now to live in Alanohuria and Siberia, countries ad - .joining to his own, but whose climate; ;,.s too rude for him. By sheer force of numbers will the ;Aryan and Mongol races prevail over ,the Spanish, English andFrenca speak - ling races. although the Civilization of these last' is superior in at least the ,glitter, the frippery of human ,society.

No plodding, Murray -driven, sorely robbed tourists on the, shores of the Swiss and Italian lakes, knows the blessing of rest less to -day or to -morrow. Excel- sior is the Alpine traveller's motto ; like the *mail ho must carry his houee on his back, and often it is a sore bur- den. Then there are the unavoidable wrauglinge, the impatient resenting of overcharges, or the luelpl.sae despair at finding no bedrooms available; the die- appoiutmout of expeditions that have failed, or of trouble that 'has proved only unity and vexation of spirit. All this aud:much more are the experience of anyone who has indulged in foreign travel. Compare with this the luxuri- ous Scotch country house, the hearty welcome -which is hearty because it is true and really meant -the repose of mind coupled with the healthy tatigue of the body, the variety of the scenery, or the air so crisp and bracing, of the life, and no ono can deny that we have ohoaou the better part. Here amongst the mountains no artificial gas -born existouce can possibly bo indulged in ; fine ladies drop all their airs and gra- ces, kilt up their petticoats, and stop out sturily like the veriest milkmaid ; dandies despised and rejected, learn to act and ape Lk like men and not pup- pets; and happy English faces bloom out among the heather like fiowers en the hill top. Here, among the vast and beautiful works that, tell of the great Maker, puny hopes and wishes take away, and can have no being ; the mountaineers of a free country are never snobs, as Thackery has defined them, pursuing mean spirit. The very famil- iarity of the Highlander his habit of dropping titles and prefixes and calling people by their names, smack niore of dignity than of impudence ; he is a man, your equal, respecting himself as much as he does you. It has been said that the history of people can never be fairly understood except by those who nave lived in the country. Nowhere is. this more true than in Scotland. The unconquerable independence and self assertion of the Highlander, his cour- age and endurance, his narrow minded dogmatism, his qualities and his de- feats, are all tie fruits of the soil he is indigenous to ; the same land has given birth to the chivalrous followers of Dundee and Montrose, to the gloomy -devotees of John Knox and the Cov- anauters, endeared by-,legend`and poetry by the thrilling records of history and the sweet inspirations of the • muse cf song. Scotland presents to the mind of the philosopher, to the eye of the his- torian, and to the imagination of the poet an ever -pleasant source of enjoy- ment, while the deep tranquility . and sublime manifestations of her scenery of rocks and waterfalls refresh to as great a degree the tried and satiated brain of the man of letters. ,Some, perhaps may tire of reels, and others with delicate conformation of oar may object to the shrill and savage. ,music ofthe pipe ; some few may re- main cold at the aspect of the most beautiful scenery ; but one and all must confess that for comfort, peace, health, and pure happinessthere is no plaoe to be compared, to _a genuine Sootch coun- try house. alcn Manufacturing Establishro.exat B w q' Takes pleasure in intimating that his Furniture Rooms are nowin fuliblast,and stocked witba SELECT ASSORTMENT OF FIRST-CLASS FURNITURE For quality and price it cannot be moiled in the County..
