While the earth was still without forts and void, the materials of which sand is composed had not aeéed their present peculiar character, for audio a highly-manufactured article, and requires time for its production. A bran-new planet can no more have sands (unless rea- dy-made) spread over it, than a new purkcan he adorned with symmetrical avenues of old staghaaded oak trees. Allowi ,then,for the small proportion of sand whic the winds, the rains and the rivers have ground out for us,what an old established concern the ocean wavomill must he, to have pounded thus tinely for us the immense uuntity of sand which we have in the worl !—Di'clrcas.

Tits nearest stars are from our earth more thua.S08.000 times the distance of our earth from the sun,-that is more then m6,0ll) multiplied by 95 millions. Such distances im mensely transcend con tion. The action of light is commonly u as an intermediate fact, to 've help in those cases to imagina- tion et how can that help imagination, which imagination itself cannot approach? It is but a change from the inconceivable in one way, to the inconceivable in another; from the inconceivable in space to the incon- ceivable in time; from the inconceivable in tea uitudc to the inconceivable in motion. Al s, in the constellation of Centaur, is the nearest etarto the earth; and the light of that star takes three years to reach us. Light moves at the rate of I92,N0 miles a second: there are $300 seconds in a day- there are 365 days in ayear; and three tiuies this period has the ray been moving since it ilashcd from its native star, until it pierced therctina of the human eye. Already our most vigorous minds at comprehendin such facts are lost in the unfathomable; an , yet, we are but on the margin of the universe.

He sends hie merchandise all over the earth; stocks every market ; makes wants, that he may supply them ; covers the New Zealan- der with Southern cotton woven in North- urn looms; builds blocks of stores in the San- dwich Islands; swa s with the Fejce can- nibals; sends the w aleships among the ice- bergs of the poles, or to wander in solitary seas, till the log-book tells the tedious same- ness of years, and boys become men; gives the ice of a Northern winter to the Torrid Zone, piles up Fresh Pond on the banks of the Hoogly, gladdens the sunny savannnhs of the dreamy South and makes life tolerable in the bungalow of the Indian jungle.

Rataaoaos IN rtrs Untoir.—The following statements we gather from the January copy of the American Railway Guide:

On the first of January I853 (this day), there are in the United States, I3,227 miles of completed rail , 12,998 miles of rail- road in various stages of rose, and about 7,000 miles in the lien s of the engineers, which will be built within the next three or four years—malting a total of 33,155 miles of railroad, which will soon traverse the country, and which at an average cost of $30,000(awell ascertained averiige)for each mile of road, including equipmcnts,etc., will have consumed a capital amounting to

$994 .650,000. 13,227 miles completed,

The people of the United States smoke up in Spanish cigars, the whole export of wheat, an drin down in French Cognac, the entire export of udiuu corn.
