- The Worship proceeds, and the Egg obtains Universal Homage. — A Friendly Con- ference -with Devils. We shall next consider the Geological Square Egg.^ Persons of science, and others, too, may wonder at our classification of the different species of square eggs, and perhaps doubt the wisdom of our arrangements ; but we hope they will not question our geological facts. This square egg was hooked up by Dr. Hitchcock and others, from the lower deposits of fossiliferous rock, where it was probably... laid by an antediluvian hen, as many ages before the flood as there are sands on the sea-shore. This hen cackled in vain when she deposited her egg, and, instead of garnishing the tables of Dr. Johnson's club, and those of other philosophers, she was doubtless devoured in those barbarous times by the carnivorous tribes which then peopled the amplitudes of creation. This square egg is emi- nently patronized by men of science ; and though its dimensions are large, and its form is shadowy, yet the daubing of the architect is more readily seen by common eyes than by those of the learned.
