WE'LL ALL MEET AGAIN IN THE MoRN-
ING Such was the exclamation of dying
child, says the Newark Mercury, as the red
rays of the sunset streamed On him through
the easement. 'Good bye, papa, good bye
Mamma has come for me tonight don't cry,
papa ! ,ceH all meet Ggaan in the morning.
1t was as if an angel had spoken to that father,
and his heart grew lighter under its burden,
for something assured him that his little one
had gone to the bosom Of Him who said, 'Suf
fer little children to come unto me, for of such
is the kingdom Of Heaven
/. There is something cheerful and inspiring
to all who are in trouble in this we'll all meet
again in the morning. II rouses up the soul
like a trumpet blast; and ffightens away for
ever the dark shades thronging the avenues of
the outer life. Clouds may gather upon our
paths-cares press their venomed lips against
our cheeks-disappointments gather around US
like an army with banners, but all this cannot
destroy the hope within US, if we have this
motto upon our lips: 'All will be bright in
the morning. .'-Mancheste- american.

he put to his mouth, drank the contents, and
returned it TO me; then laid himself quietly
down for the last time. His situation was
precisely the same, in every respect, as before
described. The time had now expired which

1t was an unusually solemn period. Seamen
are naturally superstitious, and on this oc-
casion their minds had been wrought upon IN
singular manner. Decorum is always OBJ
served by sailors at such times but now they
were all affected to tears. And when the
body was slid from the plank into the sea,
every one rushed instinctively to the ships
side to take last look. The usual weight
had been attached to the feet, yet, as if in
compliment to their anxiety to see more OF
him, the body rose, perpendicularly from the
water, breast high, two or three times. This
incident added greatly to the astonishment al
ready created in the minds of the men. beg

The change produced upon the crew, was
for time very remarkable. 1t appeared as
if they would never smile or swear again but
the effect wore off by degrees, except when
the subject was renewed.

The Bats Sixth Sense.

The animal senses are usually considered
to be five in number, viz: smelling, hearing,
seeing, tasting, and feeling. But besides
these, bats are endowed with sixth sense,
which enables them during flight to avoid all
obstacles without the aid of light. The cele-
brated naturalist, Spallanzani, long since
found, by experiment, that bats deprived of
sight, by having wax placed over their ewes.
still avoided obstacles as perfectly as they did
with their entire sight. More recently, 9th
ers have confirmed the truth of this curious
fact, by various and repeated trials and it
has also been found that the destruction of
hearing, as well as Of sight, made no differ
ence In this respect, but that, without the ex-
erclse of either of these senses, the bat would
hy through aPertures just large enough to ad-
init 1t, without touching. In the course OF
these experiments, numerous small threads
were drawn across the room at various angles,
and still the bat, flying about in every possi-
BILE direction, never touched one of them,
even by accident. NJ. Jardine supposed that
this sense was lodged in the expanding nerve
of the nose, but that several species want this
peculiar nerve. Others have believed that the

ton of the air, which striking against the i'm
pediment, returned sound by which the bal
was warned of its direction. But since it was
found that deafness made no difference in the
facts. naturalists have proposed no theory tc
account for this curious circumstance

That the moon, as far as we have beeh Skje ~
