He looked intensely relieved when ho saw Gustavo. parrots, dogs, cats, and birds were in different stages of transition; some nearly Covered by the stony coat, others their fur or hair delicately powdered, wearing a grisly appearance. The largest animal was a donkey, whose back and sides titro coated. Fruits and the most delicate plants were undergoing the same process.—The sediments deposited are so fine,-that it is perfectly practicable to obtain the sharpest casts from moulds. The water is used also for bathing purposes. I was rather amused by the pains taken to impress upon me that no danger of being turned into » stone during the process of taking a bath was to be feared. It appears, however, that some individuals are apprehensive of such a calamnity, for they assign it as a reason for not availing themselves pf iha bath.— Travels in Auvergn.

Three times a week did the young inan stand before the canvas, nnd strive to make a copy of tho living, breathing, beautiful thing before him ; but it was more difficult than he expected. The beauty, grace, and unaffected charming character of the young widow, the tnay and elegant familiarity ofher tone to her protegees—Mademoiselle de Fonsec was always the companion of these sittings—the real nobleness of her character, arfd, above nil, the deep gratitude which he felt for her kindness to him, produced a result which would have beensur. prising if it had not been produced.

Gustavo de Simi.net, but he rnrely could muster more oinotion than lie now showed. Gustave was four years younger, and an artist, hard-working, and full of talent, and they met rarely. IJut they both remembered tho friendly days of school, and kept up their acquaintance. The countess shook her head und led tho way after some further conversation, to the picture gallery. While waiting for this to be ready, Gustave told his whole history. Tho countess pressed him so delicately he c-ould not refuse, especially when Eugene had told the worst. Madaino de Montdely casually explained that she had married the aged ambassador, who hud been her husband to settle some disputed ciaims about estates, at un age when she had no will of her own. Both of an imaginative cast of mind, the countess and the artist soon became good friends, und before an hour, hud got rid of all the reservo of strangers. Tho widow, used to the world and ull kinds of society, found pleasure in tho talk of the ambitious, tulented, but poor artist and when she came to settle with him the hours of her sittings, the best position for her to sit, and other details,they were already on familiar terms. Gustave was a gentleman in every sense of the word, and this the lady at once saw. "Wiiies and Liquors, No. 77 North Water »tr»et, and 30 North N.

They occur about every twelve aud a halfhours.—For six hours tho water gradually rises, and (lows from east towards the west, entering the mouth of rivers, and driving back  waters towards their source ; then it seems to rest for about a quarter ot an hour, after which it begins to flow back again, from west to cast, and after another pause of about fifteen minutes the sea rises and flows again as before, and thus it continues ebbing and flowing twice every twenty-five hours.

" Ho seated, monsieur, I pray you," she •said, after u rapid glance at the arlist, from eyes in which stood fresh started tears : "my cousin is a most strange person. He quite forgets the Revolution, and the death of my husband. Me writes as if rny husband were alive and enjoying the confidence of the late king. This is most annoying. It is true that when my husband was alive—ho has been dead two years— I had some little influence, and could serve mv friends." I'hilosophers account for thfese regular agitations of the waters of the ocean by the influence of the sun and moon, but chiefly of the moon. The common theory is, that ths moon, by her attractions, raises the water toward her, and that, as the power of this attraction diminishes as the distance from her increases, the water on that side of the earth* consequently rises on that side and, as the body of tho earth is attracted more than the waters on the opposite side from the moon nre, it therefore moves towards the moon, and leaves th» water on the nadir behind, so that they appear1 to rise as tides at tho same time as thoso on the sido next to the moon.
