Mr. Caudle hot been at a taaern with a friend.
Poor me! Hal I'm aura I don't know who'd be i

to a man, if they knew only half they'd hare to bear
A wife most etay at home, and be a drudge, whilst i
man can go anywhere. life enough for a wife ti
kit like Cinderella by tha aabee, whilst her huabani
can ro drinking and ainainr at a tarern. You nere:
sing! How do I know you never sing? It's ven
well for you to say so; but if I could bear you,
uare say you're among the worst of 'em.
"And now, I suppose, it will be the tavern ever]

Mr Caudle, you're very much mistaken. No: am

No, nor you shan't have a latch-key. I'm not goinf
to sleep with the door upon the latch, to be mur

other people's smoke in your hair,
i, "i never knew any good to come to a man wh<
went to a tavern. Nice companions he picks u;
there! Yea; people who make it a boast to trea
their wives like slaves, and ruin their families
There's that wretch Prettyman. See what he'i
coma to. He doeen't now get home till two in th<
morning; and than in what a state! He begini
quarrelling with the door-mat, that hia poor wif!
may be afraid to apeak to him. A mean wretch
But dont you think I'll be like Mm. Prettyman
No: I wouldn't put up with it from the beat mat

No, Mr. Caudle, that you won't.

"Yea, Mr. Caudle, you'll be nice and ill in the

have your breakfast in bed, like Mrs. Prettyman
I'll not be aucb a fool. No: nor I won't have di?

"You won't want soda, and you won't wan

did, I can assure you. Dear, dear, dear! Tha
filthy tobacco! I'm sure it's enough to make me ai
bad as you are. Talking about getting divorced
I'm sure tobacco ought to be good grounds. Hoe
little does a woman think when she marries, tha
she gives herself up to be poisoned! You men con

if I was to go and leave you and the children
a pretty noise there'd be! You, however, can gc

It's all the same, Mr. Caudle, if you go amonf
smoking people. Folks are known by their com'

"Yes, 1 see how it will be. Now you've onet

. thejournal, meU
The secretary requested gentlemen who had pa- A
- pers to be read before the association, to llle them, D
t with an abstract, so as to facilitate business. meti
Professor Hitchcock recommended that, to scon- keef
t omize time, gentlemen should but read an spitome end
of their treatises, as a large number were to be pre- * st
B sen ted 'hat
Dr. Barrett read a paper entitled "Evidences of of*
0 congelation in the red sandstone, exhibited by regu- acci
lar triangular and rhombic marks of great distinct- Pi
,, ness." After noticing the bearing or this congela- 'bar
lion question on the temperature of ths earth at the to i
1 earlier periods of animal life, and his finding Ice in able
the form of rhombs and triangles in February, furn
1841, he added, in regard to sandstone, that the a pc
marks were produced by a pressure of lines in cor- Pi
responding figures when in a soft state. For a long T
f time he had recorded every appearance of ice, for the
j the purpose of throwing light upon the past action Jtt
of congelation in the production of these imprints in P
s rocks. He invited gentlemen to go with him to a thoi
building where certain marks were to be seen, and at*
u/hirti h? ihAiiirht nfan irv Ariffin deiX
B. Siluman, jr., had seen similar marks in soft wot
I argillaceous beds in Pennsylvania. He ascribed but
them, however, to the effect of causes acting in the bcle
g formation of such species of rocks. f?r
Ma. Johnson conceived the rhomboidsl structure, N?'
? treated of by Dr. Barrrett, to be entirely distinct p'ac
h from that alluded to by Mr. S. boa
Tho President asked if Dr. B. thought the trian- or tl
gular diagram possessed anything peculiar, he ob- not
served that Dr. B. had represented them as of about one
g 60 degrees. solu
Dr. Barrbtt had not measured them, but had n>ea
sketched them at random. t*in
Profeasor Shephard conceived the measurement luti<
g of importance. He waa not satisfied with Dr. B.'s ^
hypothesis; for, at the supposed time of their forma- ?d i
tion, he thought the temperature of the earth was ^
1 much higher than waa essential to Dr. B.'s theory. Shi
Dr. Barrett said hs had expected opposition. quei
and had been careful to take extenaive meteorological of d
observations. They were for the examination of UP'
any one; but were not with him at present. or h
Professor Silliman was glad to hear the remarks ties
of Dr. B; he thought they were spending too much for
time in speculation. Many things of at least equal . P
importance were to be taken up; if too much time "0I?
waa devoted to this, the association might freeze of tl
themselves. Ac-.
A member assured Dr. B. that his theory waa ore
only opposed so fkr as was requisite and usual to offei
' test any hypothesis submitted to the association, "g*
He moved for a committee to pursue the inveatiga- 'be
. tion, and report the result to the society, aPP
The Chaia''designated Profeasor Hitchcock, Dr. fPH
Barrett, and Mr. Redfield. And ao the question P??
[ dropped. ^
Mr. James D. Dana road a long, elaborate, and a m
technical essay "on the origin of the constituent and ar'd

ceed with the reading of all the papers, and then to He
discuss the whole at once. The next paper is "on col?
" the nature of minerals which accompany trap dykes
? which intersect various rocks." dry.
Dr. Jacxson proceeded with his statement, as an T
j appendix to that just read on trap rocks. He stated Pay
interesting facts as to the different kinds of minerals P
; round at the different places of contact with these 'be
| intrusive trap rocks with limestone, sandstone, and' He

' in sea water, although its existence there, and its mitt
being essential to the osseous part of the structure Ant0
of fishes, was overlooked by naturalists. The re- ^
marks of Dr. J. induced Professor Silliman to ex- ""'d
hibit some rich and massive specimens of copper ore vey
found in sandstone, at the place of its contact with au."J
trap rocks. One was from Lake Superior, and an- w'"
other (of pure copper) from near New Haven, th?l
which, when found, weighed 100 pounds. (??
(The members here each paid $9 per head, to de- w'^
fray the expenses of the session.) ernr
Professor Silliman complimented the first volume tha
of the transactions of the society, just published, had
saying that, both in America and Europe, the ablest had
men had pronounced it a work reflecting great cred- coal
it on the country. He asked members not only to ' ^orti
support it, but to exert themselves to give it circu- UP c
lation among their friends and the friends of aci- P
enee. c?ai

Professor Hitchcock addressed the society "on was

. netic influence of these trap rocks upon the voria- =
tion of the needle. np
Professor Rogers declared the whole question X
' open for discussion; it was very important. He 1841
wished to see it pursued.
The meeting devoted the rest of the morning's
* session to the reading of a treatise, entitled "Some T
reminiscences of the Qeology of Jamaica, (West T
' Indies,) viz: a recent elevation of the island; the P
, absence of drift; a new geological agent;" by C. B. O

the committee now. . "*
Professor Olmitcad said the number of tlie committee
should be limited, but have power to add to r?
their number. *'
The Craib requested Professor Johnson to withdraw
the motion for the present; and he did so.
Professor Dawcv next read a paper "on the gyp- '
sum of the State of New York." These rocks oc- .
cupied a great extent among the upper transition
rocks, ana in masses of different sir.es, embedded ^ j
in the rocks, sometimes partially chrystallized, at ^
others so well as to be beautifully ailenite. His cu|?
main object was to dwell upon the rocks with which ren<j
it was associated. It was generally thought to oc- r;Bl(
cupy a line by itself; but the fact was, that it was C|MI
found in isolated masses of other sorts of rock; so nee(j
he spoke of gypsum, not as a stratum, though he proT
might do so of the gypsiferous earth. Men ordi- n;ftn
narily name objects unknown to them in accordance ^nt
with some obvious quality, appearance, or asaocia- mu
tion: thus gypsum was called aahia. One pecu- dtiri,
liarity of it is, that, wherever found, the rock over it \
was curved; when it contact with limestone, the lat- __
ter was cracked in small pieces, co'or "> th* p1
world's notion that it was still up-heaving. After VJ
stating many facts to prove that gypsum was not of of s
