The enthusiastic support -o readily accord
ed to lheii enterprise, vvbei'i ver it has been
introdm ed, has convinced the publishers of
'J'/" ,'hl'H' of the soundiie-s ot their theory
that the American people would recognize at.d
heartily support any sincere effort to elevate
the tone and standard of illustrated publica
tions. That so many weakly wicked sheets
exist mid thrive is not evidence that there ia
no market for nnvthing bettor—indeed the
siicei'" of 77<» .-fZ</bir from the start is direct
proof of the contrary. With a population so
vast, and of such varied taste, a publisher
can choose his patrons, and his paper is rath
er indicative of his own than the taste of the
country. As a guarantee of the excellence of
this department, the publishers would beg to
announce during the coming year, specimens
front the following eminent. American artists;
W. T Richards, Win. Hart, Wm. Beard,
Geoige Smiley, Aug Will, Granville Perkins,

These pictures ire being reproduced with
out regard to expense, by the very best en
gravers in the country, and will bear the se
verest critical comparison with the best for

publishers that 7'he Aldine shall be a success

i. Volcanic Eruption in One of the
Azore Islands in the
Year 1808.
The following account of a volcan
ic eruption in the year 1808, was of
ficially reported by the Hon. J. B.
Dabney, th? then U. S. Consul, to
I* ".'si lent Jtfferson. St. Jorge is one
he Azore Islands, and is distant
tr >tn Fayal eighteen miles—the nine
Azores composing the Fayal Consul
ate. St. Jorge is about twenty miles
in length, but narrow, and contains
upward of 20,000 inhabitants. There
his been no volcanic eruption at St.
Jorge since the year 1808. but there
have been occasional earthquakes:
U. S. Consulate, Fayal,
June 20, A D. 1808.
To His Excrilencv, Thomvh .Urr*iMo.v,
Pl e»idt nt of th. United States
Sir: —lt afforda me satisfaction,
regretting the calamity, to have a
subject worthy for report; and the
narration 1 have now the honor to
lay before you may, I flatter myself,
be received with eomo degree of in
terest.
A phenomenon has occurred hero,
not unusual io former ages, but of
which there has been no example in
late years. It was indeed well cal
culated to inspire terror, and was at
tended with destruction to life and
property. On Sunday, May 1, at 1
o’clock p. M., walking in the balcony
of my house at St. Antonio, Fayal,
I heard noises not unlike the report
of heavy cannon at a distance, and
concluded that there must be some
sea engagement in some vicinity of
the island. But casting my eye to
ward the Island ot St- Jorge, ten
leagues distant, 1 perceived a dense
column ot f-tnoko rising to an im
mense height ami it was soon judg
ed that a Volcano had broken out
near the center of the island this
was confirmed when night came on,
the tire exhibiting on awful appear
ance.
Desirous of viewing this sublime
exhibition of nature, I embarked on
the morning of May 3. for St. Jorge,
accompanied by the British Consul
and several other gentlemen, and we
arrived at Yelias, a principal town,
at one o’clock a. m. \Ve found the
people perfectly panic-stricken, and
given up to religious ceremonies and
devotions. We learned that the fire
had broken out in a lake, in the
midst of fertile pastures, 3 leagues
S. E. from Yelias, and had immedi
ately formed a crater, in size about
GOO feet, arid which in two days bad
thrown out cinders or small pumice
stones, which the strong north wind
had carried southerly, and which, be
sides the mass accumulated about the
crater, had covered the earth from
one to lour feet in depth, halt a league
tn width, and three leagues in length,
th ju sending a cbanml of lire in the
■Ltiij direction had done some inju
ry to that part of the island, ami to
even the east part of Pico, some
miles distant,
The lire of this large crater had
nearly subsided, when, on the eve
ning previous to our arrival a small
crater had opened one league north
of the large one, and only one
league from Yelias, After refresh
ments we visited this second crater,
the sulphurous smoke of which drive
ing southerly, rendered our approach
to the large riater quite impracliea l
ble. But, when within a mile from
it, we found the earth rent in every
direction, anil we found these chasms
often six feet wide at our nearest ap
proach to the crater. By leaping
over them, and winding about to
avoid the larger ones, we at length
arrived within 200 yards of the cra
ter. The mouth appeared about fif
ty yards in circumference only, and
the lire appeared struggling for vent,
the force with which a pale flame is
sued forth appeared as the steum
from a powerful engine multiplied a
hundred told. The noise was deaf
ening, and the earth where we stood
had a tremulous motion. The whole
island seemed convulsed, and most
horrible bowlings were occasionally
heard h in the bowels of the earth,
earthquakes being frequent during
the fiery issues.
After being here about ten min
utes we returned to town thesnhab
iiants bad mostly quitted their hous
es and remained in the open air or
under tents. We passed the night
at Yelias, and next morning went in
our boat to a small sea port town one
leag io south from Yelias, named Ur
zuhna, and viewed that part of the
island, finding it covered with cin
ders and the most valuable vineyards
a desolation and desert. On the
same day, May -J, we returned to
Fayal and on the Sth and succeed
ing days from twelve to fifteen small
volcanos broke out in the fields we
had traversed on the 3d, and from
the chasms before described quanti
ties of lava and liquid matter travel
ed slowly toward? Yelias. The tires
oi these however suMded and the
lava ceased running about the 11th
of May. on which day the large cra
ter, after being quite dormant for
nine davs, burst forth as a roaring
lion, and with horrible bellowingsdis
tinctly heard twelve leagues distant,
throwing out prodigious large quan
tities of stones and lava, and in the
night illuminating the whole island
and neighboring islands. Ibis con
tinued with tremendous force until
t <I fifth of June, at times exhibiting
lue u a fol yet magnificent spectacle
of a perfect river ci fire running into
the sea, and all in distinct view from
Fayal.
On the day last mentioned, its force
appeared failing, and in a few days
it entirely subsided. The elevation
of this large crateris reckoned at 3,
500 feet, and its distance from the
sea about five miles. The inundation
of lava swept awaj* the town of I r
zulina and the country houses and
cottages in its way to the sea The

warning of its approach, and most of

some days the consternation was

The word Marriage is thua defined
by all the standard Ettglieh lexicog
raphers whoso works are within our
reach at this moment
Bv Dr. Samvel Johnson 1. “The
ct of uniting a man and woman for life, 2.

By Noah Web-ter: 1. “The act
of marrying, or the state of being married;
of man and woman as husband and wife;

occasion of a mairiage.”
By John Craig “The act of unit

Bv Samvei, W 'Rcester: “The act

Union between a man and woman; matrimo

Every one hut Webster makes
■ititon 1o r life essential to Marriage,
>n i Webster intimates no dissent
from the general dictum.
Consider now the promise requir
ed by the Christian Church of every
mm who presents himself as a can
didate for mai riage. [We quote from
the liiurgy ot the Prot slant Episco
pal Church, but it is essentially the
same in all churches
Minister—“ Wilt thou have this woman to
thy wedded wife, to’live together alter God’s

uiiii keep her in sickness and in health and,
forsaking ail others, keep thee only to her, as
LONG AS YE BOTH SHALL LlVE?—file man
sha.l answer, ‘1 will.’
—N »w we are not here u’gning
that the Woodhull-Claflin crowd have
not devised or adopted a substitute
which is vastly superior to Marriage
—we will consider that point in i s
order. For the present we only in
sist on the obvious truth that wbat
they commend and delight tn ts not
but something quite other
that, that, which should, be called by
its own proper name, whatever that
tray be. We do not wish to name it;
•»ut why should not they? He who
has invented something vastly supe
rior to an ax, a hoe, an auger, does
not seek to confound it with that
vhieh il is intended to supersede: he
gives it a distinguishing name, and
tries to make the distinction between
he old and the new as broad and
mpbt.tic us he uuy Oar new lights,
on tho contrary, seek to palm off
their nostrum for what it is not, and
thereby betray their consciousness of
its interior character. No man tries
to pass off gold for brass, or silver
tor pewter if ho tries to deceive at,

his bra-js as gold, ami profits or fails

Then and Now.
(From th>- I’hitad-lpbia North American.]
Five-and-thirty years since New
Y »rk suffered by a conflagration then
estimated as having cost her little
less than 811) 000 000. Now, Chicago
has suffered under a similar visitation
to the extent, as at present estimat
ed. of S 150,000,000.
Then, there was a decided tenden
cy toward creation of a panic but a
few kind words from the president
of the United States Bank, combined
with a little judicious assistance, did
much toward casting oil on the troub
letl waters, and at the close of a very
brief period, the matter had almost
passed from the recollection of all but
the unfortunate individuals upon
whom loss had fallen.
Now, bears are rampant, threaten
ing loss and commercial trouble, and
laboring with all their energies for
tho destruction of their neighbor’s
property —thus producing a stale of
fear calculated to aggrandize the few
who have money to lend, at the cost
of the many who have need to bor
row and it is with a view to coun
teracting their efforts in this di«
rection that wo furnish a
comparative view of the condition
<>f the country then and now, as fol
lows
Then, our whole population was
but 15,000,000 now it is 40,000,000.
Then, the whole property of the
country could not have exceeded 85
000 000 000 and it is very doubtful
if it reached even that amount. Now,
it exceeds S3O 000 000 000 and were
allowances made for the labor saved
by the hundreds of thousands ot
machines in use tboughout the coun
try, it might be set down as being
ten-fold greater than in the former
period.
Then, our iron products were but
250 000 tons, and our whole con
sumption 330 000 tons. Now, our
production has reached 2 000,000
tons and our total consumption 2,-
500,000.
Then, the coal mines east and west
could scarcely have exceeded 1 500,-
000 tons. Now, it. has grown to near
ly 30.000 000. the application of four
fifths of which is in the direction of
economizing human labor and elevat
ing the laborers.
Then, we worked up 200,000 bales
of cotton. Now, wo do the same by
1 000,000 bales, nearly tho whole of
which is consumed at home by those
who labor.
Then, our woolen manufacture was
confined almost entirely to the com
moneet products of the loom. Now,
it embraces almost every description
of goods, to the very finest its
amount approaching nearly to $20,«
000 000.
'Phen, tho majority of our people
were but poorly clothed. Now, they
are by fur the best clothed population
of the world
Then, the lake and river ship-build
ing of the West was scarcely known.
Now, it reaches 100,000 tons per an
num.
Then, we lived under the regime
of President Jackson’s western and
southern wild-cat banks, busily en.
gaged in contracting obligations that
were never to bo redeemed. Now,
every note of every bank in the
Union is gladly received at every
counter of every shop in every state.
Then, we mined but very little of
tho precious metals, and our total
coinage for tho year but $5,000.
Now. our product of these metals is
SOO 000 000
Then, our banks were pretending
to pay specie doing this with the
full knowledge that it was a pretence
and nothing more, and that a foreign
demand might any moment cause
them to fail of payment. Now, our
commercial system is bused on green
backs, not likely to be withdrawn or
reduced in quantity, and always
available for every commercial pur
pose.
Then, those who desired to replace
their commodities and machines des
troyed were in great m asure com
pelled to look abroad,thereby adding
to tho demand for those precious
metals of which so small a quantity
could be found in the vaults of banks
Now, nearly all of these supplies are
to be obtained at home, making large
demands on our mills and workshops,
and giving to our own labor the em
ployment which before had been giv
en to that of England.
Then, the blow was struck at the
heart of the commercial tree, and its
effect was felt in every village, town
and city of the Union. Now, it is
but a branch that has been affected, i
leaving nine-tenths of the body almost
as it has stood before.
Then, insurance, as now carried on, 1
was scarcely known,as a consequence
of which an immense proportion of j
the loss was to bo borne by New
York herself. Now, it is so scatter- j
ed from London to San Francisco;
as to cause the weight in any indi
vidual quarter to be comparatively
light.
Then, our customs revenue was j
but $20,000 000, or but half the loss
by the New York fire. Now, it ex-,
coeds $200,000,000, or a third more
than the now estimated loss by thej
Cuicago fire.
Then, wo bad just entered upon
tho free-trade policy, which brought;
such speedy bankruptcy in 1837. and
such utter ruin in 1840-1842. Now,
we yet retain the protective system,
under which tbe reward of labor has
fully doubled; and by means of
which we have been saved from
financial crisis like those free-trade
ones of 1818-1824, 1837-1842, and
1857-1860.
Let those, then, who fear a crisis,
recollect that nothing ot the kind bus
ever yet occurred in periods of pro
tection. Let them next study the
remarkable facts above presented,
and then determine for themselves if
the New Y’ork tire, from which the
country so promptly recovered, bad

i mcrce and our means, an importance

W. Elliott, artist of Hayden’s Ex

Yellow Slone country. They wen
made known in a communication,
addressed to Prof Henry, of the
Smithsonian Institute, Washington.
The new facts are setfoith with a

They fully present to view the beau
ly and grandeur of the picture.—
The locality of these new wonders i
in the Upper Yellow Stone country,
and situated twenty-five miles south
erly from Port Ellis, and will be one
of the attractions that will induce
the future counsel to prefer the
Northern Pacific route in his transit
across the continent. They ate lo
cated in the midst of a great chain
of iava peaks, and can be best de
scribed in the language of the dis
com se:
“From right to left, as far as the
eye could reach, it rested upon a
serried front of ragged, pinnacled
summits, so sharp and keen as to
shed the snow way down upon their
torn an rugged flanks, leaving the
bare rock pointing upward like nee
dles, minarets and Gothic roofs. The
Snow beneath seem ’d to iepend up
on the straggling and stunted pines
for support, while these timber
lines in turn fell away down the
mountain sides to grassy benches
and plateaus; the while f irming one
of the most perfect pictures of lava
upheaval and oveiflow that the
world affords. In this chain there
are a hundred peaks that are over
11.000 feet above the sea, and 0,000
feet above the river, and eight or ten
that will easily reach the altitude of
12 000 or 13,000 feet.
Near the mouth of the lower can
on, where the river comes out from
abrupt mountain gorges, a small
stream 11 >ws in from the west, an-t
bears the name, on I' wane’s map, of
‘Gardener’s River.” We ascend I

A MOST WONDERFUL HOi .-PRI.Xo
Up here on the rolling, semi-wood

huge bank of snow, covering a very
large area, with the strange phenom

as the water is always at boding

The spring in this way is constant

out afresh in some other place not
far distant. By this closing up an I

large area of country is covered
with their deposit, and the spot 1 am
