i silveEing of the glass is done princi-
pally in France and Germany. The
process is one Of the most curious OF
! the modern arts. and is an extremely

glass plate made scrupulously clean.
it is brought even with the edge Of
the table, and pushed gently forward
sideways, so as TO slide over the mer-
curry bath, its edge just dipping be-
meath its surface, SO rs to push before
it all impurities, and to exclude all
air-bubbIes. Weights are then even
ly applied to the glass, and the whole
table inclined to such an angle as to
favor the drawing of of the superau.
Gus mercury, This requires some
days or weeks, according to the size
Of the plate. There is a constant
risk in The whole process, even when
tue greatest care is practiced. The
larger the glass, the greater the
danger of breakage and imperfec-
tions. Sometimes the amalgam crys-
talizes, and produces flaws, which re-
quire the operation to be repeat ed.
1t is these Causes which make large
mirrors so very costly. 1n addition
to this, high wages must be paid to
the wOrkmen, as the mercury pro.

health, renders some of them Grip
plies for years, and prematurely short

conscience, quieted by the promise

A Country Cottage.

The stream ripples brightly by my cottage
The suns hine is bright on the stream;
And the wee pebbly stones in the sunshine,
Like diamonds sparkle and gleam.
There are halle trees kissing the water,
And plumes of the fair meadow sweet;
And down by the hazel sits Jennie,
And dabbles her little white feet.
The robin peeps in at my door way.
The linnet looks down from the tree,
And here, pillowed up in his cradle,
Wee Sandy sits smiling at me.
My milk-pail stards bright iu the corner,
My tins are all bright on the shelf;
And the white supper-cloth on my table
Is clean, for washed it myself!

The use of beer, especially lager

Deep Sea SOundings.

Some persons are surprised al
the statement that the water upon
the telegraphic plateau between
Trinity and Valentia Bays is from
two to three miles deep 10 the deep
est parts, having been told that there
it is comparatively shallow. A com
parison of deep sea-soundings will
show that the idea of its shallow
ness is correct, when measured by
the almost incredible abysses to
which the plummet has been sent,
Lieut.. Bergman, in 1858, made a
sounding in the Atlantic ocean 29.-
600 feet in depth, equal to little
over y miles; and Capt. Denham, Of
the British Navy, has obtained
sounding at the vast depth of &c.
236 feet, or about 7a English miles.
The highest mountains upon the
globe might be hurled into these
immense chasms and still leave a
vast ocean above their tallest peaks.
The giant Himmalays, that overtop
al! other mountains, would be swal-
lowed as easily as the Alps. The
highest peak of the chain is only
2S,lTS feet above the sea level, and
its summit might be submerged
about three miles at the point of
Capt. Denbam's deepest sounding!

where it did not effect a speedy cure,
and it can in no case do an injury.-

and she declared it Was getting well.

The pain only; but when examined
fresh flesh was found growing, and
skin over it. She was running about,
and would work, which delayed the
entire cure, leaving a small sore,
