 PasScd' and autumn, with its yellow and

 lnoit and excitement and bustle of life. we forget how rapidly we are moving on that f" journey from whose bourne no traveller retnrns." *~
 The summer is past :! What a sad and Obstructive lesson does the rapid chanue of seasons leave us of our destiny. In tho spr!ng-tide of life our hearts may have beat high with the hopes and delightful antici- pasions of future years of promise. The summers sun may have rose upon us with out cloud, and its last rays of light nav have been more beautiful than the irsr.- And then the autumn gathers around us. testing the hopes of our earlier years, and stamping upon all either disappointment or success, according as we have treasured up the talents bestowed upon us by our maker. Then comes the winter of life, when the joyous hopes of boyhood are looked upon as wild eathusiasm, and when the iudp-, n'ent, nsat0red by experience, will unite with the wise man of Israel in saying, van lty of vanities, all is vanity.
 .. The summer is past, and perhaps with Inc writer and reader, it has passed forev- pr. To us the balmy breath of spring may never come again. We may never again see the budding rose and springing flowers of that beaatiful season. Change is stamp ed upon all things of this world. [" Here to- day and gone tomorrow" md then all that remains of us is little handful of earth, an affecting comment upon our van fly and folly.

Velocity and Magnitude cf Waves.

Velocity and Magnitude cf WaVes.
 The velocity of waves is related to their
 magnitude. Some large waves proceed at the rate of from thirty to forty miles an
 hour. It is a vulgar Belief, that the water
 itself advances with the speed ofthe wave;
 but, in fact, the form only advances, while
 the substance, except little spray above, Eremains rising and falling in tho same place, according to the laws of the pendulum. A
 wave of water, in this respect, is exactly
 initiated by the wave running along
 stretched rope when on6 end of 1t is shak~
 en; or by the mimic waves of our theatres,
 which are generally the undula.ions of long
 pieces of carpet, moved by attendants.-- But when wave reaches shallow bank
 or beach, the water becomes really progress
 siye because then, as it cannot sink di-
 rectly downwards,it it falls over and forwards ] seeking it's level. So awful is the spectacle
 of storm at sea, that it is generally view ed through a medium which biasses the tiudgment; and, lofty as waves really are, . imagination makes them loftier still. No waves rise more than ten feet above tho ordinary level, which with the ten feet that its surface afterwards descends, below this, gives twenty feet for the whole height from '. inc bottom of any water valley to the sun'- |, init. This proposition is easily proved, by . irving the height on ships mast. at which the horizon is always in sight over the soPs ] Eof the waves; allowance being made for : accidental inclinations of the vessel, and for ! her sinking in the water to much below her water line. aa tie iassaRt when she reaches }. inc bottom of the hollow between two waves. The spray of the sea driven by the f violence of the winds is of course much f higher than the summit of the liquid wave; e and wave coming against an obstacle may '- dash to almost any elevation above 1t. At y the Eddyston Lighthouse, when surge J. reaches it, which has been growing under !" a strom. all the way across the Atlantic, Ie e dashes even over the lantern at the summit. q .
