' l'is the kind of nielli for a ghostly and hr< mysterious story, and if yon will listen pa ?i\ tiently, 1 will tell you one which took place int weli-nigh thirty yours ago, away up yon- de der on the bleak moors of Assynt, across tin iho Sutherland hills, Barren moorlands, wn and gray sterile beaches with tlinly sands; ult troops of forlorn pines along the hill sides lio whore the red deer keeps his ward; rents of wl blue sea sprinkled with green desolate isl- th? ? atids-?a "Ood-forgo Hon land," as Sidney an Smith might say. Thirty years ago, how- pe ever, iho monotonous lives of iho simple tin islanders wore rudely disturbed by otio of N< tboso startling crimes which soont to he- we long more peculiarly to an advanced and Ca complicated civilization. The case still fig- oil urea in the criminal rooords as the Assynt coi murder, and presents many features of cu- pa tious and picturesque interest. to John McDonald, a well-known itinerant an pedlar, had, on a dreary winter evening cln about this time of the }*ejir? ;\ttended a rus- sin tie wedding and merry-making at the "farm rnr town" of Assynt, where, among the fair dis i damsels assembled, he had contrived con- pai niderably to lighten his pack. No one pr< had ohsorvod him leave, and for a month dis afterwards nothing was heard of his move- of inenls. llis absence oxctled no surprise on ninong the country people, as it was sup- cd ( osed that lie had gono to visit his relations wa who lived in Itoss-shiro. They, however, ignorant of his movements, and seeing him C?1 only at distant intervals, wero ofcourso not tlx troub'id at ht9 customary alienee, and the tw< pedlar might have been away much longer tin before any suspicions could have been excited. tCr But exactly four weeks after tho festivities p0i At Assynt, a farui-servant, passing a deep out and precipitous turn on the mouutain road obi which lies between the farm town aud the in' Clachau of Assynt, observed, by the iinper- cro feci dawnlight, a bundlo floating upon the 8el, Winer, uien unusually low and clear. A doi rude raft was constructed, and with us aid },js the neighbors dragged the corrupted body *tn of a human being to tho shore. Though col much decomposed, nil who were present ohj immediately recognised the body of tho hin missing pedlar. Tho clothes wero the same p)i, which he jiad worn when last seen, but the cas pockets had boon carefully turned out and die rilled,"and nothing of ahy value was found |jgl on the corpso. Ion Notwithstanding these suspicious appear- tho anecs, the simple people, among whom a reli murder had never boeu committed, conclu- guj dod that the unfortunate man had fallen rec accidentally into the tarn. So confirmed wh were thev in this opinion, that they at once (ho buried the body, and John McDonald and ros< the tragedy connected with him were in a call fair way of being forgotten. The parish u u minister, however, had accidentally learned ' of the discovery, aud he forthwith forward- Ccs! ed informatiou to the proper authorities, atif The shot ill' of the county and the public hot prosecutor immediately came down to the mo district, and commenced.a searching inves- am: ~ ligation. t'ho Under the guidance of John Cameron, bnn the schoolmaster? who was recommended am lu them by Ibu minister as a skilful and cr 1 trusty person, on whom perfect reliance qui might Ikj placed, and accompanied by the lnn medical men of the island, the bherilf visit- (jnj < J iho spot whore McDonald's body had ?a iieen buiied.

It was well known in the i>l ha | and that McX)onal(1, who had made con- wet siderablo money, carried his fortune <>u his |^as baek?banks and slock being unknown in- g?,n stitutions to those primitive people. Hot it. b.r many days all the ingenuity of the law s(ftr was baffled to obtain any trace of tho mur- J,.n derer. No one bad been seen with Me- ujgl Donald after bo left Assynt; no article of and any kind could be identified as his propertv. Tho search appeared fruitless. 8o\e iaJ murdem, however, had la-en recently m,y committed in the northern counties: they had remained unpunished; it was therefore p<<y< a matter of much public importance that (,fc, in this case an example, idioujd be made, tho Umi shot id* established himself cii pitrma doit hi iky s\I a roadside ho tel iit the vicinity, |,e(> and announced his determination to exam. fact toe every resident tu the island. arid Dnriirgthe.se investigations, tbo frheriir j ry / w.is invariably accompanied by Cameron, . j, it who, through ids acipiKintancu with the |o-'i ( ae.be lottguo, and his knowledge ol tho ktto inhabitant*, proved of great assistance as j ing an iulcrprclcr.

If we le a terrestrial globe until the Arctic Antarctic circles are tangent to the en horizon, and then cause the globe y to ravlove, we shall find that a mi' of the lines of elevation in the earth's ?i. <?., coast lines and mountain ranges, either as they rise or go down, coincide ssing with the wooden horizon. For pie, the main coast of the United s tendiug northeast will, if carried on great circle, graze the Arctic circle, and oast of Florida and Labrador tending west will graze it on the other side, lame is true of the east coasts of South rica and Africa, the eoasta of the lied of Italy, of the I Hack Sea, of Hindos>f New Zealand, Ac. The Arctic and rcric circles are also coast Hues, being rs tangent to the horizon, is almost impossible to exaggerate tbe rtanco of this fine discovery, proving as is, by geological facts, that the obliof the ecliptic has been essentially anged since the dawn of creation, and .olar beat was the agent to carry out lommand on the second day to let ry land appear. Tlio line of scparaMtvraen light and darkness, between beat and tho coolness of night, trav; daily for two months in summer, and for two months in winter, in such a on as to coincido in passing with the of upheaval, indicates unmistakenbly it was connected with the determinant' those lines; the slight expansion and king being sutlicient to determine the >( rupture of tho crust.
