tTDoctor Hays, in his address before the
Geographical Society of New York, on Thurs
day evening, read a letter from Professor
Agassz in relation to the open Polar sea, in
which that gentleman argued the existence
of such a sea, from the organization and hab-
its Of whales, which being warm bloodcd air
breathing creatures, must come to the surface
to breathe; and therefore, as during the
winter they are not found 10 the south of the
ice-bclt Of the Arctic sea it necessary results
that the whole extent of the Arctic sea is not
covered with ice in the winter. The discove-
ry Of the open Polar sea he regards as most
important to the interests ofthe whale fishery

A ONE HORSE NovEL.--Violetta
started convulsively, and turned her
tear-drenched eyes widely upon
the speaker; Tor to her, there SEEM
ed something familiar in those, low,
lich tones.
Their eyes met; his beaming with
love and tenderness-hers cleaning
with wide uncertainty.
"Violetta!"
"Allendorf!"
And the beautiful girl sank, from
excess OF joy, upon his noble heart
thrObbing with the pure, though sub
dued joy.
While doing this, Violetta's father.
Rip Van Snort, was seen approaching
the lovers with a fail.
Allendorf saw the aged patriarch,
and with one mighty leap cleared the
banisters, and rushed down stairs
But Van Snort was not to be done
thus.
He put after Allendorf, and just as
he was turning the corner Of the red
barn, gave him a lift with the fail
that placed him tout of existence"
Violetta, driven to distraction, threw
herself upon the grass, and for a long,
long, hour, was deaf to every conSola-
tion.

PALACE AND COT.

Mr.. Millionaire lives in a palace up town,
In q manner quite gay;
Tom Digger works on the docks away down.
For dollar a day;
And his face is as fresh, with its honest
sun-brown,
As flower in May;
Yet Millionaire scarcely his troubles cun
bear,
While the sound of Tom Digger's song cha
seth off care.
Mr.. Millionaire deals in all manner Of trade,
In both moneys and lands:
Toms fortune all lies in the length Of his
spade
And the strength Of his hands ;
And Millionaire'S frown, and contemptuouH
tiTade,
eth. He needs painfully stands
For virtue is weak, by the human scale told
And found wanting when weighed in the
balance with gold.
Mr.. Millionaire's wife is a model Of taste
Yet if the truth speak,
It is due to a medley of patchwork and paste
But, oh! if you'd seek
For beauty, where Art not an effort does
waste;
See Dame Digger's cheek
The rose nesting there would tempt even
saint
While "my lady's" soft blush is sad waste
o[-painH
MIR. Millionaire homeward returns each night
All bowed down with care;
Though Toms pockets are low, yet his heart
is as light
As the midsummer air,
For he earns that which makes his humble
home bright
With a little to spare;
Could choose, would change for the
happier lot
Dir. Millionaire's palace for Tom Digger's
cot.

The Old Oak Tree.

l would were child again,
AS when l sported free
Upon the green-sward through the glen,
Beneath the old oak-tree.
My fathers calm and thoughtful brow
In memory still / see;
My mothers smile shines on Inc now
Beneath the old oak. tree.
The sunshine falls as warm and bright;
As freshly breathes the air;
The stream still dances down as light,
The flowers still bloom as fair;
Whsre'er my fearful eyes may range,
Familiar spots see;
The scenes l love seem slow to change
Around the old oak-tree.
But gone are all those cherished forms
lgazed on when child,
Like autumn leaves when early storms
Sweep through the woodlands wild,
And all alone within the glen
l linger musingly;
wish l were a child again
Beneath the old oak, tree.

Support Your Home Paper.

We recommend to a careful reading
the following article from the Cleve.
land Herald. We know Of nothing
that is moro disheartening to the pub.
Usher Of county newspaper than to
be told, rs he too often is, when solic.
iting subscribers:
81 feel to poor to take your paper;
| take tho Tribune (or some other
huge weekly,) and it only costs me a
dollar year, and contains twice as
much reading as yours does, when
the receipts of one week of the office
named would be double the yearly
receipts Of his county paper and when
il the foreign papers were published
seventy five years, it would not result
to as much benefit to himselfand the
county in which he lives, ia would
single weeks edition oil his own coun.
ty paper. Read the annexed article
and see if the advice contained in it is
not such rs will commend itself to ev-
cry enlightened mind:
"Recollect if a home papor is to be
supported, home influence must do it.
Every dollar sent to Eastesn papers is
at the expence Of the local papers,
A county acquires prominence thro'h
its papers more than in any other way
and to every ono who has County in
terests at stake, his home paper is a
necessity. Never will such man
take a paper printed away from home
