mhe Demon shark.

calm fell on the ocean,
The ship stood still at sea,
No wavy track lay at her back,
No foam upon her lee;
Full ten good fathoms downward,
Mans eve might pierce the deep,
All life seemed dead, the air like lead,
And Death himself asleep! .s
So it was all the weary day,
pnt ore came down the dark.
A seaman's cry was heard ON high,
STe comes-the demon shark -
From out the twilight bottom
We saw the monster rise,
A living grave amid the wave,
A grave with hellish eyes
He came to gape for corses;
For in his caverns dim,
Fierce Fever's voice he heard rejoice,
And bid feast for him.
So one by one in hammocks,
With shot to sink them low.
A prayer was said above the dead,
And then we let them go
Down went the corses one by one,
Down, down into the dark,
And after them more fierce than death,
Sank down the demon shark.
Our hearts were filled with hatred,
For ere the sun ha, set,
A bloody coil began to boil
Up from the depths of jet.
At night VIC heard o rushing
As of wind amid the wave,
II was the monster gambolling
Upon our seaman's grave
So we took another body,
And hurl'd it in the main,
But never more along that shore,
Saw we that Shark again.

A RUSSIAN SCIENTIFIC ExPEDIT1oN.-The Russian
government is about to despatch scientific expedi-
ton to circumnavigate the globe, the direction of
which has been confded to one of the most dstin.
guished officers of the Russian navy. This will be
the thirty ninth voyage round the world the Russians
have made since 1903. The first took place under
the command of Capt. Krusenstern, in the corvette
Nadeida, between 1903 TO 1906. The most ceebra-
ted voyages, after that of Krusenstern those of
Goyine in the Diane, from 1907 to 1909 Lazaref in
the Souvarow, from 1913 to 1916; Kotzebue in the
Rurik, from 1915 to 1918; Vasslief, in the Decou-
verte 1919 TO 1922 Wrangel, in the Helene, from
1929; and Schantz, in the Ameriqae, from 1884 to
1886 The last was that performed by Neveskoi, in
the Baikhall, from 1913 to 1851. All the officers
who commanded these vessels have become admirals
in the imperial navy The present squadron, which
