The Craters of the Moon.
A FltlOimi'I. CHASM.
Not less than three-fifths of the sur
face of our satellite are studded tvilh
vast caverns, or rather circular pits,
penetrating into its mass, and usually
engirt at the top with a high wall of
rock, winch is sometimes seriated and
crowned by peaks. These craters vary
in diameter from fifty or sixty miles lo
the smallest place visible probably 501)
feel; and the numbeis increase as the
diameter diminishes, so that the multi
tude of the smaller o.ies becomes so
great that we cannot reckon it. The
ridge which environs the crater is al
ways stopping on ils external side, and
steep or rather precipitous within, al
though it seldom descends to the cav
ern's base by a single cliff, or leap
Wiihin it, there are generally concen
tric ridges, assuming the form of terra
ces, and making the descent to the bot
tom, r.s the central chasm appears, more
gradual. The bottom of the crater is
sometimes convex, low ridges of moun
tains being also found running through
it, while, at its center, conical peaks
frequently rise, and smaller craters,
whose height, however, Seldom reaches
the base ot the exterior wall. These
curious objects are so crowded, in some
parts of the moon, that they seem to
have, pressed on each other, mid disturb
ed, and even broken down each other's
edges, so that, through their mutual in
terference, the most odd-shaped caverns
have arisen.
The crater Tycho is tint brilliant
spot near the top of ihc moon, which,
when the moon is lull, uppeurs the ecu
. e ' . J. ' i. I
ier oi a system ni sinning streams or
rays. The country around is peculiarly
disturbed; tnere is no plain there, lar
ger than a Common field. Now, if pas
sing accross that rugged district, one
were gradually approaching Tycho, ils
first and distant aspect would seem like
an Immense wall oi ridge of rock in the
horizon, with a stretch of nearly fifty
miles, and reflecting the sun's rays with
peculiar lustre ; on approaching the
ridge its character would change; we
should then discern that it is part of an
immense circle, but peihapa neither so
lofty nor so steep, that a practiced
mountaineer of the earth need shrink
from its ascent. Suppose the ascent
accomplished, and that wilh terrestrial
ideas one stood on the summit. Trust
ing to the analogy of every disturbed
region of our own planet, we must have
thought of the opposite side, while it
was unseen, only as a corresponding
slope, or at least as a descent, wliigh, if
dillerent in steepness, would correspond
in extent; but the eye is now in pies
ence of an appalling contrast! ' '
On the edge of a dizzy cliff, passing
down by unbroken leap tor 13,000 feel,
or 2,000 feet more than the summit of
Mont Blanc rises above the level of the
sea! It is quickly perceived, too, that
this huge barrier encloses a vast circu
lar area fifty-five miles in diameter ; so
that if the spectator were at the chasm's
center, he would find around him on
every side, at the distance of twenty
seven miles, a gigantic and unbroken
wall unbroken by a gap or ravine, or
pass of any description rising into the
air 17,000 feet, and forbidding his re
turn to the external world! , ,;,
How frightful that seclusion in the
moon a chasm utterly impassible, its
walls bare, rugged, hopeless as a pris
on's bars! It is a solitude too which
nothing alleviates ; verdure is never
there,' not the song of a bird; rain never
refreshes, nor cloud shelters it; it is re
lieved from si scorching sun and tlaming
sky only by night with its stars. Nor
among those countless pits is Tycho the
most appaline.. There are soma of
nearly equal depth whose diameter may
not exceed 3,000 feet; nay, townds the .
polar regions of the moon, caverns whose
depths have never yet been illuminated
by one beam of the solar light. A'iefai',
Goon JIa.nnkksi. There can be no 1
general rule for good manmrs, that will
supply the use of individi al judgment '
in their application. A general rulo",
may, in special cases, require lo be re
versed. J he same conduct that is ao.
ceptable in one condition of mind br ,,
comes ollensive in another; and what
will please a stranger is often a nuisance
to a member of the family. Attention,
in the one case, lias a welcome appear- "
ancc of kindness and hospitality; in the
other, it is troublesome and unwelcome
officiousness. A good natnred man will
bear moié familiarity than a reserved
nnd'uusocial one. A thick-skinned man
will endure ruder habits than a thin
skinned one; and the habits will seem
pleasanter to him than the fn'orit habita -of
his more sensitive counterpart. A
well-mannered man will find out all this
with an imperceptible glance of his eye,
for he can see without staring, and he
will net accordingly, accommodating
nimseii to tne temperament ot Ins com
panion; and ifhis companion be equally1
well-mannered and accommodating, they
understand one another immediately. '
Mrs. Partington Ruralizing .
Mrs. Partington and Ike werehuckle-'
berrying in the country, and a largo .
swamp was warily canvassed to find the
quart which she bore in her five-quart
pail. She despaired of finding it. 'Look
here, aunt,' said Ike, in a sort of confi- ,
dential whisper. 'look in there and see.
what a lot of 'cm." There was a smile
on the.face of the boy, that betokened '
mischief, or it might have been a gleam
of satisfaction at the prospect of filling
the pail, but certainly a smile was around
the little mouth, and the eyes caught it,
and a rogueish twinkle like a sunbeam
lay sparkling there. 'I see,' said the old ,
lady, and a moment later the log cabin,
bonnet, borrowed for the occasion, was
seen above the tops of the bushes, its
restlessness indicating the wearer's ac
tivity. Ike remained outside. Fizz-z!
Buzz-z-z! what was that? a humble-'
bee, as we are a sinner. Another and 1
another. The log cabin was besieged,
and Mrs. Partington tushes frantically
from the bushes, swinging the tin pail, '
and crying 'shoo! shoo!' with' all her1
might. It was a trying time for tho
widow of Corporal Paul. And Ike did
not escape, for a big bumblebee attack
ed him, and ha roared heartily with a
sting upon his cheek. The laugh dis-t
appeared. At the recital of their trou-.
hie at home, people regarded the matter
s a trick of Ike's, but how could he
have known about the bumblebee's nest
being in there? Mrs. Partington avow
ed that she 'never was so frustrated by
anything in her born days,' and people '
believed her. She thinks, notwithstan-'
ding the bees, that she would like to
have a 'villain' in the country, and be
come an'amatory' farmer. CarjetJ3ag. ,
