FOR TI1K WESTERN SU.W PRIDE. How many colors are now in fashion, And all to please the wanton eye; Sure it is a vain, and foolish portion, Our sinful pride tn gratify. Raiment, we think was first intended, To shelter us from shame and cold. And decency may be commended, , It ornaments both young aud old. But Pride, a thing so discontented, 'Tis always wanting something new. Sure pride, and Satan first invented, So many fashions now in view, i Pride is a pernicious evil. And from the score of sin doth flow; Pride first proceeded from the Devil, And to the Devil, pride must go. It is Pride, involves so many nations, In such a poor distracted state. Brings sorrow, pain, and tribulation, Of time, upon both small and great. ing, ' Tis Pride, that makes their land lie bleedUnder the mighty hand of God, And causes him to rule the nations. With his awful iron rod. 'TisFride, that makes the parents fretful. They think they're good, because they're old, 'Tis Pride, that makes the youth neglectful, And think they will not be controled, 'Tis Pr.de, that makes the master peevish, So hard and cruel to his slave, Tis Pride, that makes the servant thievish, And think he's cunning, stout and brave. 'Tis Fride. thrt makes the husband haughty. So insolent, and hard to please. lie thinks his wife hasn't done her duty, Until she comes upon her knees, ' Tis Pride, that mikes the wife a brawler, Contend, and strive, for her own way, Xiike Vashti when her husband calls her. She is not willing to obey. Tis Pride, that makes the mischief-maker, Anxious to tell his neighbors faults. And while he's gone abroad a tattling, lie thinks to gain some great applause. l is Pride, that makes so many boaters, They think that they will then outshow, Tis Pride and ignorance, that makes so many nations. On almost every thing below. Tis Pride, that makes some preachers willing. To travel almost any way. In order to increase their shilling. It m-ikcs them look more fine and gay, Tis Pride, that makes so many professors, Follow the world so anxiously, And love such vain and foolish dressing. Which the word of truth denies. When guilt doth see us, then pride to ease us, Will sav you must do ail you can. Then Pride, wan t let us close with Jesus, For fear of the reproach of man. But conscience says vou at e a debtor. And soon to judgment you must go, But Pride will say, stay till you're better. Religion istco mean and low, When Pride, is viewed, 'tis a pernicious evil, Reigns in the heart of fallen man, Which causes him to oppose his maker, Ar.d brings these judgments op. our land, So Chris'ians, you that love your Jesus, And d" profess to know his name. You ought to shun Pride, as an evil, And follow the meek and lowly lamb. From the Southern Revi'it'. THEORY OF THE EAUTH. It is considered as an established fact that the earth was at first fluid, perhaps nebulous; the vitruou9 state of all tht leaver srata, as well a3 the spherical form of the globe prove this almost beyond a doubt. In this fluid state (the waters and what now composes the solid part being all mingled together) ;t of course could not have been habitable by an Anown organized being The intensity of het which kept it in this state cf fus ion, abating through an unknown lapse cf ti r.e, tho surface became solid, bu surrounded on all sides by the gaseous substances (probably disengaged from the surface in this proccps) which sub stances became either atmosphere ot subsided into water. It is thought from the phenomena of the transittonsfata, that the globe vas encircled with water In the original granite formation or the 5 st hardened crust of the earth proba bly coeval with the ancient sea, there are no remiinsol animal or even vegetable life known to exist, the presumption is. therefore, that neither animal nor vege tabic subs;ance, maiine or terestrial existed M the time of the formation. Bu in the transition-strata immediately above this, the remains of zoophytes, and other marine animals of the lowest gr ade began to appear, first commencing t He stuggle cf life against inert matter It is in these strata of the primitive and transition for mations that metallic ores are generally found. The trnisiticn strata always lie between the primary and the secondary. At the commencement of the secon dary strata, dry laud began to appear, though f:ld with marshes and iakes The grasses and ferns, as indicated fcy the coal beds of this series of strata grew to the size of trees, the then 'vegetative power ol the earth far surpas cing the present, owing probably to its bed being of a higher temperature and ol greater moitture It was during the for m&tion of hese strata that vertebrated nui'i'riw cnnfmniu r r?r oil 1 1 s nm. voj-iiuu".- cimt oous viuwuins aumc tiiiCK scei:ty feet ia length; turtles, fish .

We confess we cannot yield our assent to this last opinion, though sustained Us two veiy able articles in the E g!sb Quii ei y ne of Sep'.emWex, 1826, and the j oiher a review ot Mr Lyelis Principles oi Cieology of Oct 133r Lycil's wu'k e have not been able to procure, but wt do not think that tho efforts ol his le viewer, thou.jh displaying great know I edge of his subject as well as ability, es 'iblish his position The secondare strata are said to be very much bmk r and uneven ; portions of the lowei strata being often projected through them, indi eating the frequency ol the convulsions at the time ot their formation The up per series indicate manns d?posbes. shewing that the orean agin retun etl over the land at this peiiod destroy mp vhat then inhabited it, and reroamed loiu, enough to have made the deposits. Next were formed the tertiaiy strata, the lower sci ies of which still indicate the prevalence of the ocean, being alscomposed of marine deposites, while the upper series indicate that the ocean had a the time of thei' formation again e 'ired, and a race of animals of still more perfect organization than the preceding had come into lite, This is the last o Hie regular rock formations, and here, and in the diluvial deposites immediately a hove, are found the remains of the gi gantic mammalia and other quadrupeds, supposed to have been destroyed by tru ast or Noachic deluge. Above thes here is every evidence that this t hi . grand deluge has passed, leaving t'erearth at its retreat to still moie pcifeu races of animals than the p ceding man, and all the animated creator., us t now exists Upon the surface of the te liar y strata, we have volcanic and basa. :ic rocks, and all i vial and diluvial soi onstituting the present suptfieiat co.it ing of the globe Within any of thesstrata formed anterior to the last genera, deluge, neither the bones, utensils, nor any other vestiges of man have ever beer discovered. Had he existed previously, jn the p esent continents, some of theve records of his b ing must have remained The bones of the smallest mammalia and birds, are in a great measure still entire, even in the more ancient formations. The baron Tuvier has demonstrated that 'he animals destroyed by the last deluge are generally not varieties of present races, as indicated by the structure ol heir bones They arc most of them of distinct and separate species, which have been by this last catastrophe forever-ob iiterated from the scale of animatebe ings. Ae.d new generations ot crcatuVck, at the head of which is man himself, wholly unlike, and incapable, with a few exceptions, of deriving their descent from the former races by any rules ot analogy, have since that period commenced, and still perpetuate a more perfect seiiesof mortal existences.
