Swimming feat of a Squirrel,

Seeing an account in your very interesting
paper of q squirrel found in the stomach OF a
plckerel, an wonder expressed as to how the
hsh obtained such food, reminded me of an CO.
currcnce which took place on Vineyard Lake,
lew Summers ago. AS friend and were pull
ing our boat leisurely up the lake to our favor
lTo hshlng ground beyond Long Point, we dis
covered about midway of the lake (which is
here nearly mile wide) something swimming,
which we at first supposed to be muskrat
put as had never seen one Of these animals 50
lar from shore and IN so deep water, felt ca
rlosity to examine him more closely. few
brlsk strokes of the sculls brought us alongside
the chase, when we found the object to be
grey squirrel swimming with apparent case,
and ne do doubt wonld have made the di stance
across the lake without difficulty but he did
not seem anxious to escape, we took him on
board and he ran into one Of the lockers, but
alter time came out and passed around the
boat without molestation, and then took his
position on the bow. We eventually make our
fishing ground and anchored
The squirrel stayed with us half Of the at,
ternoon when he quietly let himself do wn from
the side of the boat and swan back to tho
shore. He did not then take the nearest land
which was within ten rods Of the boat, but
struck off parallel with the shore and made a
landing some 80 or 100 rods farther. l think it
would have been quite easy for voracious fish
to have snapped him up at any time on the
route Yours, HARRY MINER

A Mighty River.

The Amaz on, the largest river in the world,
has an area of drainage nearly three times as
large as that of all the rivers of Europe that
empty themselves into the Atlantic This plain
is entirely coverered with dense primeyal for
est, through which the only paths are those
made by the river, and innumorable tributaries
This forest is impenetrable. Humboldt remarks
that two mission stations might be only a few
miles apart, and yet the residents would require
day and half to visit each other, along the
windings of small streams. Even the wild an
imals get involved in such impenetrable masses
of wood (eyen the jaguar) that they live for q
long time in the trees terror to the monkeys
whose dominious they have invaded
The trees m easurc from eight to twelve feet
in,diametcr, and the intervals are occupied by
shrub like plants, which hero in these tropical
regions, become arborescent. It is nayigablo
1000 miles from the ocean: it is nearly 100
miles wide at its mouth, in some places 600 feet
deep and it's torrent projects, as it were, into
the ocean, more than 800 miles, perceptibly al-
tering its waters at this distance from the
American shores.

Into the Sunshine.

Some parents arc troubled by gloomy house
hold. They indulge in frequent irettng and
moroseness are impatient at triding vexatlons,
and censurc the faults and crrore of their chill
dren with steruness instead Of love They know
little of calm and sunshine, and home has few
charms for themselves or their little ones Love
and gentleness, combined with firmness, have a
wonderful power over the most thoughtless and
wayward little ones, and parents who know how
to unite these in due proportions have perpetual
aunahnc in their dwelling, and loving and obe-
dent children. I here is a true philosophy in
the following domestic scene, taken from Steps
toward Heaven"
- | wich father would come home"
The voice that said this had a troubled tone,
and the face that looked up was red.
" Your father will be very angry" said an
aunt, who was sitting in the room with q book
in her hand. The boy raised himself from the
sofa, where he had been laying in tears for half
an hour, and, with touch of indignation in
his voice, answered.
"He'll be sorry. not angry. Father never gets
angry
For few moments the aunt looked at the
10y halfcurionsly, and let her eyes again fall
upon the book that was in her hand. The boy
laid himself down upon the sofa again, and hid
face from sight.
That's father, now " He started up af-
ter the lapse of nearly ten minutes, as the sound
Of bell reached his ears, and went to the
room door, lie stood there for little while
and then came back, saying with disappointed
air
" Itisn't father. | wonder what keeps him
so late. o, | wish he would come !"
" You eecm anxious to get deeper intc
touble," remarked the aunt, who had only
been in the house for week, and who wal
neither very amiable nor very ympathzing to-
wards children. The boys fault had provoked
her, and che considered him fit subject fol
punishment
" believe, aunt Phebe, that you'd like tc
ace Inc whipped" said the boy little warmly
" bat you won't"
" must confess, replied aunt Phebe, " tina
think little wholesome discipline of th,
hind you speak Of would not be out of place
hyou were my child, am very sure you woulc
NOS escape"
'' am not your child don't want to be-
Fathers good and loves me-"
:" If your father'Sso good, and loves you SC
well, you must be u very ungrateful or YER,
fneonsiderate boy. His goodness don t seem t.
have helped you much"
"Hush, will you CALCULATED the boy, OK
e'ted to anger by this unkindness of speech.
" Phebe! !" 1t was the boys mother who
spoke now for the first time. In an undertont
she added " You orc wrong. Richard is suffer
insquite enough, ard you are doing him harm
rather than good"
Again the bell rang and again the boy lOf
