The Canada Beaver.

From an interesting episode in Thomas O..
Keefer's recent lecture on The Ottawa we
extract the folio wing sketch of the habits and
instincts of that remarkable animal, the bea-
ver:-
The beaver is the original lumberman and
the first Of hydraulic engineers. Simple and
unostentatious, his food is the bark of trees,
and his dwelling mud cabin, the door of
which is always open, but under water,-con-
ditions which secure retirement and are favor
able to cool contemplation. The single OBJ
ject Of his existence being to secure bark
enough for himself and family, one would not
suppose there would be much difficulty In that
but as neither beaver nor any other animals,
except man, are addicted to works of superer-
ogation, we may be sure that the former in all
his laborious arrangements,-and those which
degree,-does no more than is absolutely nee
essary for him to do. Cast in an inhospitable
climate, nearly the whole of his labor is for
the purpose Of laying in his necessary win
ter supplies, and water is the only medium by
which he can procure and preserve these
Too highly civilized for nomadie life, he
builds permanently, and does not quit his hab-
itation until driven from it, like other respect
able emigrants, by stern necessity.

God seen in All His Works.

In that beautiful part of Germany which
borders on the Rhine, there ia noble castle,
which as you travel on The western bank Of
the river, you may see lifting its ancient tow
ers on the opposite side, above the grove Of
trees, about az old as itself.
About forty years ago, there lived in that
castle noble gentleman, whom we shall call
Baron -. The Baron had only one son.
who was not only comfort to his father. but
blessing to all who lived on his fathers
land.
1t happened on Certain occasion, that this
young gentleman being from home, there
came French gentleman to see the Baron.
As soon as this gentleman came to the castle,
he began to talk Of his Heavenly Father in
terms that chilled the old mans blood on
which the Baron repr0ved him, saying, Are
you not afraid Of offending God, who reigns
above, by speaking in such a mannerg' The
gentleman said he knew nothing about God,
for ne had never seen him. The Baron did
not notice at this time what the gentleman
said, but The next morning took him about the
castle grounds and took occasion to show him
very beautiful picture that hung upon the
wall. The gentleman admired the picture
very much, and said, whoever drew this pie
tufe, knows very well how to use the pencil.'
My son drew that picture, said the Baron.
Then your son is a very clever man. re-
piled the gentleman.
The Baron then went with his visitor into
the garden, and showed him many beautiful
flowers and plantations of forest trees.
Who has the ordering Of this garden1'
asked the gentleman.
/. My SON. replied the Baron 'he knows
every plant, may say, from the cedar Of
Lebanon to the hyssop on the WALL
Indeed, said the gentleman, 4 shall think
very highly Of him soon.'
The Baron then took him into the village,
and showed him small, neat cottage, where
his son had established small school, and
where he caused all young children who had
lost thir parents, 70 be received and nourished
at his own expense. The children in the
house looked SO innocent and so happy. that
the gentleman was very much pleased, and
when he returned to the castle he said to the
Baron, What happy man you are 10 have
SO good song
How do you know have so good son!'
Because | have seen his works, and
know he must be good and clever, if he has
done all YOU have showed me
But you have never seen him.
No, but know him very well, because
judge of him by his works.
True replied the Baron, and this is the
way Judge Of the character Of our Heavenly
Father. [ know from his works, that he is a
being Of infinite wisdom, power and goodness
The Frenchman felt the force Of the re.
proof, and was careful not to offend the good
Baron any more by his remarks.

endure, but not one with stiff crown. His
first impulse was to rub his invalid hat, his
second to run round the corner and rub the
back of his head and blow his nose furiously.
The excessive merriment of one young lady
spectator, would have done her friends real
good to see, because she was one of those
matter of fact people who detest 'jokes,' and
nevr can understand puns but to him it
would be crusher, for she was the only lady
who had ever fancied him. She had been
heard to call him so commanding and had
been seen to smile sadly on hearing Vaughan
the wag, say that he never could esteem-a
man who was so high all the time, as if she
hardly believed so scandalous a story. But
he slipped while smoothing his hat. How
are the mighty fallen y if this should confirm
her evil suspicious. Would she continue her
esteem The subject however grows too
painful. To be obliged to avoid low doors,
to keep ones legs at right angles that they
may be out of the way, are curses not less sad
because of daily, momentary occurrence
Jones has been trying to console himself with
some such maxims as the longer man lives
the wiser he grows, but although he found
he had pretty 'long head, and although no
man ever succeeded in 'overreaching him. it
couldn't console him for his daily sufferings,
yea, nightly ones, too, since no bed was ever
large enough to hold him comfortably, and
now in utmost sorrow, subscribes himself
feet in his stockings, Tom JONES.

possess, and they who are very exacting Of tai

Effects of Moonlight on Fish.

In the Scientific American" page 1856,
the question is mooted whether the putrefac-
tion Of fish and meat exposed to moonlight, is
more rapid than at any other time. That
moonlight effects fish is not only tradtionary
belief but it is positive fact, which can easily
be ascertained by those who have doubts upon
the subject. have known it to be so for
more than forty years. I recol1ect OF an in
stance where person purchased newly-caught
fish at the fishing station, and threw them
foundering into his wagon, without taking
the precaution to cover them from the moons
rays of that night. He lived distance In the
country, which required about FIVE hours ID
reach, and he thought, as the journey was to
be made in the cool Of the night, all would be
well, but he was greatly surprised when he
arrived at home at daylight, 10 find the most
Of his fish SO green and pulrid that they had
to be thrown away. Why was this! Such
an effect would not have been produced upon
fish on smJonless night, nor even by exposure
10 the suns rays for the same period. All
old housekeepers are careful not to expose
fresh fish or meat to moonlight Il is gener-
ally believed that it is dangerous to sleep ex-
posed to the moons rays. These precautions
and traditlonary opinions had their origin in
facts, which have observed on both land and
water. The great thing in moOting questions
in natural philosophy is first to discover and
arrange facts; but in accounting for them,
there may be variety Of opinions, until some
new fact is discovered which settles all the
disputed points. Scientific american.
