An old man, with streaming white hairs, bent over the cauldron. His figure was crooked and deformed with age and continued stooping, and his hair and long silvery beard were dry and erisp, as if they were singed in the fierce heat in which he worked. This old man was Althausen, who was working day and night, and had been working night and day for fifty years, to find the Elixir of JOiie, mat wonderful liquor which would make youth immortal and keep I the body . always rigorous and fresh, i. i.j i i . i. i buia r um Aiuueuiisii was i wondrously happy.

It needs only a portion of life-blo- from I As he said this he looked wistfullv at his bared arms, but the si&rht of the flac cid flesh and wasted veins'1- made him shake his head despondingly.

See! the liquor foams higher and higher." . Geological Surrey , of Ohio. . From an able article by' Hon. . E. ,D, Mansfield in the Cincinnati Gazette, we take the following : ' Let us now proceed to show the val ue, we should say almost necessity, of a geological surrey.. The question of whether a geological survey ought to be made is no longer debatable.. Every State in Europe, and all of Our States which have been led to consider the subject, have had geological surveys. describing exactly what is, and what we may expect under the surfaces of the States Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania Michigan, Kantucky, Illi- nois, Iowa, and, we believe, other State nave naa geological - surveys. Alichi- - f an has been paid for her survey an undred fold by the disclosure of tbe value and quality of the Sacrinaw Salt I Works. But where is the limit of salt in Ohio r In order that we may under stand the full value of a geological survey of Ohio, we will refer a moment to what may be termed rather a "recon- - noissance" than a survey, made in Ohio in 15&-3- Tne principal report was made to Governor Shannon, in 1838. The principal geologist was the late W, VV. Mather, and his assistants were tha late John Locke. Colonel Forster, Colo nel ananes w lurtiesey, IToressors Kirtland and Vi Briees.' Thev divided tne LHie Detween mem, ana had Only made preliminary reports when the survey was arrested. Nevertheless, that reconnoissanne was valuable ; but not a teutn pan as vaiaame as a geo logical survey mar be made. We do not regara geology as a certain science, by any means, but what it observes is certain and all the faots in resrard to stratified rocks and mineral deposits are certain. Prof. Dana, of the explor ing expedition, described the rocks of California as ef the gold bearing kind, and, iD two or three years after, Califor nia was revealed as tne greatest gold bearing State in the world. Now. let us look a little at the report of 1838. in regard to some of the most important points. 1 Of Salt. Few people know that the salt bearing rocks are found In a large part of the State of Ohio, and Ohio is now a large producer of salt. Yet this fact seems not to have been known to Mr. Weils, the Commissioner of Internal Kevenue, who treats the salt works ot Syracuse and Saginaw as monopolies. There can be no more a monopoly of salt In this country than there can be of air and water. Why, the State of Ohio alone can supply the whole country with salt. We have been told, and believe it to be true, that in the war of 1812-1- 5, salt was made in the west part of Hamilton county, near the Great Miami river, Tbe work was very soon abandoned because the water was very weak. It should be observed that to make salt with profit, only tbe strongest water can be used. Salt water may be found in Tuscarawas county, but, neverthe- less, has never been made there. Salt has been made on the Muskingum for more than half a - century. Forty years ago, half a million of bushels were made annually. Little salt is now made except at Pomeroy. Observe that in the report of 1838. that section of ths State was not surveyed, and no men tion wnatever was made of r'omeroy as a locality of salt ; and now Pome- roy makes two millions of bushels of salt a year. Now a thorough geolog ical survey may disclose many such lacts as these. Where is the limit of salt in Ohio T 2. Coal. Cheap coal is the founda tion of the success and prosperity of British manufacturers. But where is there more coal and where ought it to be cheaper than in the State of Ohio 7 Ohio has coal enough to supply the manufacturers for a thousand years. As yet. we have not economized the distribution enough to make it very cheap, although not much over half the cost in New York and New Eng- land. It is found in thirty counties of Ohio, and covers a surface of 12,000 square miles. It is found in succes sive strata of 1,000 feet in depth, aod from one to fifteen feet in thickness. cropping out in various places, where it now minea. Home or it is of ex- traordinary quality. Now, at present. we only know where certain strata crop out, and sometimes, as in that of the Briar Hill coal, at points iar dis- tant ' from one another. Now, it is of deep interest to a large number of the people of this Stale manufacturers and the inhabitants of towns that we should know where the best strata of coal are, and that we should thus be enabled to make arrangements for economizing the production of coal it. reference to future manufactures. 3. Iron. The iron strata of Ohio covers nearly half the coal strata, and unquestionably are more extensive A. than they have been supposed. Iron is found as far west ( we except tbe Bob- ore) as Medina county in the north, and Adams county in the south. Iron was first mioed in Adams county. Iron probably extends throuerh the whole of Gallia eonnty and part of Meigs, al though the eastern furnace there has been "Gallia furnace," in the west of Gallia county. Now. extend thia broad belt to tbe lakes, and you have the ron region of Obio. of which not n tenth part is developed. We ought to know the limits of this iron mine, and various qualities of it. Bog iron is found in several counties of the north- west. the If we get cheap coal and cbpaD ron (as we shall) no Eastern State or foreign country can compete with Obio manufactures. 4. Peat. Tbis article is found in sev the eral parts of Ohio, and a large bed of it in the county of Crawford. As long we have coal and wood abundant it you not likely tbis peat will be valuable, it, it is well to know we have it. Petroleum. This was not mentioned tbe report of 1838, but it exists in large quantities, in the counties of Mor- gan, Muskingum and Washington probably in others. 0. Gypsum, This has been mined, that believe, only on Sandusky Bay, but will probably be found in other locali- ties. 7. Tbe finest buildinn stone in the United States is found in a large part Ohio. This is commonly called the "Waverly Sand Stone," and is the ma- terial of which tbe stone fronts of Cin- cinnati are made of. Limestone, from marble to the coarse stone of tbe hills, found in half the State, of which the tied fine quarries in Greene ana Montgom are examples. We have said enough to show that a geological survey ought to be made, and be mada immediately, if for no other reason than to trace out and define our mmense mineral deposits. But there another reason, which will come home to everybody. Our aarictUturt is declining ; that is, we have tiot propor tionally so large crops or grain. We convinced that this is due in a great measure to the want of proper manage-men- t of the grountl. in the old wheat districts, and in much of the corn land, ground wantstertllizing, witb some its new ingredients. What are they? What is necessary to our soils? Who knows but that the gypsum aud peat got beds may not be ued advantageously tbis war f Wa c. in not axtnnrl Mia limits of this article with illustrations. but we are persuaded that tbe Legisla ture can not rrach the welfare of the State in a better way than by rrovid-in- g bis for a geological survey by compe- tent hands ; and let it be accompanied a provision for ascertaining the ex- act topography of the State. Tbe debt and the expenses of tbe State are now the much diminished, and we can afford to that a little for practical and useful sci- ence. E. D. M. out YAAtOTDKX, February 20, 1869. and A Nashville, Tenn., dispatch of Feb. 2lBt, says ; . Yesterday afternoon a negro man oalled on Maj. Fredericks, commander a detachment of United States troops stationed at Columbia, and informed him that the dead body of a white man had been discovered ia Duck 'A. Kiver, two and a half miles southwest from Columbia. Major 1, Fredericks sent a squad of soldiers to the designated spot, who returned with tbe body last night. Upon examina- tion it proved to be that of Detotive Barmore, who was taken from a rail- road pay train, at Columbia, a month since, masked men. A rope was around his neck, the end forming a noose, as if had been tied to something. The hands were tied behind the back with a linen handkerchief. A valuable dia- mond ring was on one of tbe ringers. He was evidently not murdered for tbe money. A Coroner's inquest was held over the body to-da- I mil heart. When the team fell dea hair of the babe, the ice about his heart seemed suddenly to be broken up. A. flood of tears coursed over his cneeKS, ana tailing forward, he smote upua window. , In a moment Gottlieb came out, foi xowea py nis wife. There lay Peter Aitoausen, lamting. and speechless, upon the pavement, no longer a youth raven cutis, oat an old man wrinkled and white-haire- d. The spirit had told him truly. At the touch of ! the tears upon his cheeks, the power of wo ,uur a as lorever aestroved. f They placed him in the arm-cha- ir by i me nre, ana ne smiled faintly. He i vuuiu u'j i. sueaic. out niacin? nnp nnnri on the head of his daughter, he pointed I upward with the other, and raised his eyes as if in prayer.; . Then his head dropped forward, and raisin it him they saw that the last spark of life was liuii-- nt, l he old Alchemist was dead. ' ., ., ' the Delaware Gazette. 1 . Th.onelit. .

There was some sound of traffic n the shops, and many noises which dis- turbed the stillness and quiet which had prevailed when Peter Althausen dwelt tnere. In tjie new house, which looked smil- ing and homelike, lived Madeliane Al- - thausen, now a happy wife and moth- er. She was no lonsrer pale and thin. but had grown plump, and red-cheek- ed and comely. A tall youth called her! mother, and a goodly array of girls and boys filled up t he interval between him and the toddling urchin who clung to her ample skirts as she moved about her househeld. Her husband worked in a famous workshop, where they made wonderful clocks. He clever. was verv , , . .

But Madeliane and her husband mind- ed it not. They were happy and con- tented, and the roses bloomed on the dame's cheeks as they had neverbloom- - ea there wnen sne was a maiden. All these years Peter Althausen had been wandering over the earth. There was a restless spirit in him which did not permit him to remain quietly in bind him. for his heart seemed quite I dead in his breast, and he had no svm-- 1 pathy with the pursuits of his fellow-- 1 beings. After twenty years, on the anniversary of the day on which he had drank the youth-givin- g Elixir, he had returned to his native town, led by avaguecuri- - osity which he could not understand. and which was more like human emotion than anything he had felt in all these years. He sought out the house where his daughter lived, and going softly up, he looked in through the diamond-pane- d window whirih intted nnt nnon the street. It was after dusk, and all the children, were in bed except the tall eldest, who sat at the table fashioning some wonderful piece of mechanism out of bits of steel, and wire, and wood. Madelaine sat in hep low chair by the fire, which burned brightly on the hearth, holding her youngest baby to her breast. Her husband was seated by her side, smoking his pipe and curling slow wreaths of smoke up from his mouth, as he looked thoughtfully in the fire. All this Peter could see as he looked through the window. By and bv Madelaine snoke. He heard her voice "It is 1unt twenty years ago to-da- she said, "since my father went away, never to be heard from any more ; and two years later, on the same day, were we married, my Gottlieb "Yes," said Gottlieb, rousing himsel from his reverie as she commenced speaking, "and thou hast been a good wife all these years, Madelaine." "What become of mv grandfather T" asked the youth, lookingup front his work. "I cannot tell," answered his mother sadly. "My poor mother, who died shortly afer he disappeared, said the Elixir of Life he had so long worked for, came at last, and that she saw him changed into a youth of twenty sum- mers. But her wits wandered, poor soul, from the day he went away. I only know he was gone one day and nev- er returned again. I think heSvas craz- ed because his cauldron went to pieces and spilled the liquor for which he had worked so long, and he went away and died in his grief and madness." "now strange it would be," said her husband, "and how sad to live always; to see all our friends die, and be left" to live alone. How should Hive without thee, dearest T" he added, taking her hand tenderly, while the head oi" the matron leaned over and rested on his shoulder. "Ah, yes," she signed, "what would life be worth if one lived without sym- - and without love t It pains me fiathy of it." And two tears which had stood in her eyes, foil over her cheeks upon the shining head of the babe which nestled in ner fair, white bosom. All this Tetor' Althausen saw and heard. A strange feeling stirred with- in him as he looked .on., the peaceful ; a mingling of emotion which troupe Ibr many years, arose ia bis not notice that she had fainted in the chair where she had seated herself. The mixture in the furnace engrossed his senses. It was growingmore and more brilliant, and the glowing bub- bles rose higher and higher, till they overflowed the cauldron's brim and were devoured by the leaping flames beneatn. emptied slowly, drop after drop, the contents of the bowl in the Doiiing mass. Then, from out the cauldron and encircling it, a vapor began to rise ; a vapor which grew larger and denser, till at len rth it touch the ceilinsr like a flame-color- ed cloud. The cloud began 1..0 1) 11 1, ir tii nTinnira in fVi .i .nit u !i 'i n itself, till, while the old man looked, the cloudy mass put on the semblance a gigantic human form, .though it I was the fizure of a man. it was still the 1 color of lire. The streaming hair and and beard were like licking tongues of I flame. The eyes were glowing coals, and the robe which swept about this wonderous image from the head, and throat and shoulders, to the cauldron's brim whereon its feet were set, fell in quivering folds like sheets of glittering yellow name. t Peter cowered before the presence. I uui uia uut Bpcan. xne spirit- aia not i wait for him, but spoke in deep mut tering tones, like the distant roar of a fierce fire : "Peter Althausen, thy life-wo- rk is finished. In the bottom of this caul- dron are some precious drops of the Elixir of life enough to make thee and thine immortal. It is thine the reward of thy whole life's labor. Drink, if thou wishest it ; but pause ere it is at thy lips. Once having quaff- ed it, thy life is no longer subject to the laws which govern the lives of other men. Thou art forever shut out from the sympathy with them. Thou canst nev again Know any tenaer emotion, lor thou shouldst weep from any cause, from love, pity, or sympathy, the spell broken, and thou art once more a infirm old man with only a few goor, of life remaining. Count the cost, then, before drinking the strange draught." Peter Althausen heard as if it were a dream. The human shape turned back to cloud again, the cloud melted into thin vapor, rolled away from the cauldron, and dissipated itself among the brown rafters of the ceiling. Peter looked into the vessel. At the bottom were a few drops not more than a small vial full, of a liquid as clear as crystal and yellow as molten gold. He dip- ped Into it a small ladle of siver, and quickly collected every drop int o a crys- tal drinking cup which he had ready. When he had taken up the last drop, tUa hn.. nanlMn ...i, 1. 1...
