i , Cryolite.- :
Tli is is a remarkable minerals discovered
Greenland not many years ago, and which takes
its name from its resemblance to tcef and it can,
like ice, be melted in the flame of a candle.
1. It is not said to be found any where else
in the world, but there is there an immense vein
of it, from which It is said that 160,000 tons can
be obtained. In fact, as it is believed to be a
volcanic product, and the vein goes down' to the
center of tne eartn, tne supply is lnexnauswuic,
though the expense of working beyond a certain
depth would be too great, lue mine is owneu,
and the mineral is quarried out by a firm in
Philadelphia, ' c ' " ; ? ;
We saw a notice, a short time ago, of a ship
lost at sea with a careo of this on hoard, and also
having the crew of another .vessel that had been
previously lost on the way w rnuaaeipnia.
2, It is known in Chemistry as the Huenae
of Sodium and Aluminum, and from it different
products are obtained by different processes.
For instance, great quantities oi caustic ooaa.
The mineral is said to contain 44 per cent ot
hydrated Soda, the manufacture of which from
this mineral is much more rapid and profitable
than from common salt as formerly. Alumina is
an incidental product in this manufacture.
Wearing Hoirrniiig
1 It i not the custom of our' people to symbo
lize their 1 feelings by a change of dress, with
this solitary xception " If a man becomes bank
rupt, or his home burned down, or loses heavily
in commercial operations, or has a son in dis-
grace, or a ohild misled by evil company, or any
other griefful experience,' he does not4 change
his garb. The one solitary and exreptionaTcaBe
is bereavement ' But there is in domestic sor
row a delicacy, or ought to be, which should
shrink from an ostentatiousness such as mourn
in annarel cannot fail ' to have. . No One" has a
right sor to'express his sorrows as to intrude them
upoid every eye wherever he goes., ?
Custom has long justified it, 'Otherwise it
would be esteemed an indelicacy for one to be a
walking ? advertisement .of one's; own private
griefs. But, even if one were . permitted to, an
nounce .this one 'side of domestic "experience by
change " of garb, the question still remains,
whether expression should be given to the weak
ness of natural feeling, or the triumph of Chris
tian faith ? WThether we should symbolize the
darkness of the grave as unenlightened nature
shows it, or the grave made luminous by the
triumph of our Saviour and the giones oi im
mortality beyond it? We may be sure there is
something wrong in a Christian community

with pistols ever at hand ready to destroy him
