Important. Dot V41y in . seienti6c point Of
view. but particularly % for the interests of
ths wha.e fishery. The organization OF
these huge inhaSitanis of the ocean seems
to me to furnish the most direct proof that
there is an open sea in the Arctics. The
whales. being wsrn-b blooded, air.brsathing
sninsIs, muet come TO the surface tc breathe.
They csnuot hive without it. Now, it is
we'll known ,has during the winter they are
not found eufside---that ID, to the south OF
the ice-beat Of the Arctic seas. They re-
treat nor,hward during thecoid season, and
iif the whole extent of that Arctic sea was
covered with ice they would necessarily
perish during sihe long winter. do not
know Z more direct evidenes of the pres-
sacs Of extensive spesl wstee in The north.
ernnost regions Of the globe has the mode
of life Of the whales, snd the eiseovery Of .
passage into that open water which wouid
render whale fishing possible d6Fing the
winter would be one of the most important
results for the Improvement of whale 6sh-
ing. The argument may no, strike fereibly
one who is hot acquainted with the struc-
ture of the whales. but to a physiologist II
must be irresistabIe."

The Relief of Lucknow

The Relief of Lucknow.
Oh that last day in Lucknow fort!
We knew that it was the last,
That the enemy's lines crept surely on,
And the end was coming fast
To Weld to that foe was worse than death,
And the men and We all worked on;
1t was one day more of smoke and roar,
And then it would all be done.
There one of US, a corporals wife,
fair, young, gentle thing,
Wasted with fever in the siege,
And her mind was wandering.
She lay on the ground. in her Scottish plaid,
And took her head on my knee;
When my father comes hnme rae the peugh she said,
"Oh! then pleas wauken me"
She slept like child on her fathers floor
In the heckng Of woodbne-shade,
When the house-dog sprawls BY the open door,
And the mothers wheels is staid.
1t was smoke and roar and powder-stench,
And hopeless waiting for death;
And the soldiers wife, like full.tired child,
Seemed scarce TO draw her breath.
sank to sleep; and l had my dream
Of an English viIiage-lane
And wall and garden but wild scream
Brought me back to the roar again.
There Jessie Brown stood listening
Till sudden gIadness broke
All over her face, and she caught my hand
''The Highlanders! OH dinna We hear
The slogan far away?
The McGregors? Oh! l ken it weel
It's the grandest o them a!
"God bless thee bonny Highlanders!
We're saved! we're saved !" she cried
And fell on her knees and thanks to God
Flowed forth like full food.tide.
Along the battery-lne her cry
Had fallen among the men,
And they started back they were there 10 die,
But was life SO dear them then?
They listened for life; the rattling fire,
Far off, and the far off roar,
Were all ; and the colonel shook his head,
And they turned to their guns once MORE
And Jessie said {" The slogans done;
But dinna ye hear it moo,
The Camp5eys comm ? It's no a dream;
Our succOrs hae broken through!'
We heard the roar and the rattle afar,
But the pipes we could not hear;
So the men piled their work Of hopeless war,
And knew that the end was near.
1t was not long ere it made its way
A shring. ceaseless sound;
1t was noise from the strife aar,
Or the sappers under ground.
1t ras the pipes of the Highlanders!
And now they played Auld Lang Syne;
1t came to our men like the voice of God,
And they shouted along the line.
And they wept and shook another's hands,
And the women sobbed in a crowd;
And every one knet down where he stood,
And we all thanked God aloud.
That happy time when we welcomed them,
Our men put Jessie first
And the general gave her his hand, and cheers
Like storm, from the soldiers burst.
And the pipers' ribbons and tartants streamed,
Marching round aud round our line;
And our joyful cheers were broken with tears
As the pipes played -4uld Lang Syne.

The veteran messenger of the House, Mr.

house to order, until at length morning singing has
become regular institution in the Representatives
Hall for the 10 minutes before the speaker takes his

in congregation style, and the music rises and
floats and echoes through the hall with fine effect
