Whittaker's counsel maintained, on the other hand, that the Cadet waa of a cheerful temperament, that he had no reasonable cause for anxiety as to j his paistng examination, and no conceivable motive for the perpetration of the fraud with which he was charged.

What They Knew 4,000 Years Ag. Fkom one of these bookt, compiled after tiie manner of our modern encyclopaedias, and the compilation of winch is shown to have beeumade more than -,OO0 years 15. C., it Ii.h been h- ! curtained, what hm long been supposed, that Uhaldoa was the parent-Iaiui of astronomy; for it is found, from this compilation and from older bricks, that the Babylonians catalogued the stars, and 1 distinguished and named the constella- ) tions; that they arranged the twelve constellations thut form our present zodiac to snow the course of the sun s path in thu Heavens; divided time into weeks, months and years; that t hey divided the week, as we now havu it, into seven days, six being; days of labor and the seventh a day of rest, to which they gave a name from which wo have derived our word "Sabbath," ami which da, as a day of rest from all labor of every kind they observed as rigorously as the Jew or the Puritan. The motion of tho heavenly bodies and the phenomena of tho weather were noted down, and a connection, as I have before stated, detected, as M. de Pervillo claims to have discovered, between the weather ard the change of the moon. They invet.Nid the sun-dial to mark the movements 6f tho heavenly bodies, the water-clock to measure time, and they speak in this work of the spots on tho sun. a fact they could Only have known by the aid of telescopes, which it is supposed they possessed, from observations that they have noted down of tlio rising of Venus, and the fact that Layanl found a crystal lens in thu ruins of Nineveh. These "bricks" contain an account of the deluge, substantially the same as tho narrative in tho Bible, except that the names are different. They disclose that houses and land were then sold, leased anil mortgaged, that money was loaned at interest, ami that the market-gardeners, to use an American phrase, " worked on shares:" that the farmer, when plowing with his oxen, beguiled his labor with short and homely songs, two of which have been found; and, to connect this very remote civilization with tho usages of to-day, 1 may, in conclusion, refer to one o'f the bricks of this library, in tho form of a notice, which is to the oiled, that visitors nro requested to givo to thu librarian the number of tho book thoy wish to consult, and that it will bo brought to them; at tho perusal of which one is disposed to fall bank upon thu o.vplann, tion of Solomon that "There is nothing now under tho inn."

Indeed, 1 am not certain that tlase cyclones of American humor thai etws the Atlantic are not as providential as the American storms that mitigate tlio austere monotony of the KiigTish climate. For it has been settled by your reviewers that American literature is American humor, and that this American humor is a kind of lauhablo impropriety, more or less scantily clothed iu words. It has been settled that you are a sober people, and that nobody in 1 America takes life soriouslv -not even j a highwayman-ami that our literature is a rellex of our life.
