The Horse Hair.

In Professor Agasiz's interesting paper on
Methods Of Study in Natural History" the
second of the series, we find this anecdote
of an animal known to all country boys:
A gentleman from Detroit had the kind
ness to send tne one of those long thread-like
worms (Gordius} found often in brooks, and
called Horse-Hafts by the common people.
When first received il, II was coiled up in
close roll at the bottom Of the bottle, filed
with fresh water, that Contained it, and
looked more like little tangle Of black sew
ing silk than anything else. Wishing to un-
wind it that / might examine its entire
length, I placed it in large china basin
filled with water, and proceeded very gently
to disentangle its coils, when l perceived
that the animal had twisted itself around
bundle Of its eggs, holding them fast in
close embrace. In the process Of unwind
lug, the eggs dropped away and foated to
a little distance. Having finally stretched
it out to its full length, perhaps half
yard, sat watching to see this singular be-
ing that looked like q long black thread
in the water would give any signs Of life.
Almost Immediately it moved toward the
bundle Of eggs, and, having reached it, be-
gan to sew itself through and through the
little white mass, passing one end Of its body
through it, and then returning to make an
other stitch, as it were, till the eggs were at
last completely entangled again in an intri-
cate network of coils. 1t seemed to me
almost impossible that this care of offspring
could be the result Of any instinct of affec-
ton in creature of so low an organization,
and again separated it from the eggs, and
| placed them at greater distance, when
the same action was repeated.
On trying the experiment third time
the bundle Of eggs had become loosened
and few of them dropped off singly inte
the water. The efforts which the anima
then made to recover the missing ones, wind
ing itself around and around them, but fail
ing to bring them back into the fold will
the rest, because they were too small, ant
evaded all efforts TO secure them, when ono
parted from the first little compact mas,
convinced me that there was a definite pur
pose in its attempts, and that even bein
so low in the scale of animal existence ha
some dim consciousness Of relation to II
: offspring. I afterwards unwound also tn
mass Of eggs, which, when coiled up as
r first saw it, made a roll Of white substant
y about the size of coffee bean, and foun
n that it consisted Of string Of eggs, mea
uring more than twelve feet in length, Il
esgs being held together by some gelatin
. Gus Substance that cemented them and pr
vented them from falling apart Cuttir
, this string across and placing small sectc
under the microscope, l counted on the su
face Of such a cut from seventy to sevent,
five eggs and estimating the entire numb'
Of eggs according to the number containe
> on such surface, found that there we

gloom of that hour,
Yet the hearts that were striking below

81 Want to be an Angel"

She sang like little seraph-dear blue
eyed Nellie May. Her pretty hands were
folded with unconscious grace upon her
bosom.
Everybody in the room was STILL Men
and women had been singing, but this faint,
though bird-like voice, was sweeter than
their harsher tones, and commanded breath
less attention.

In a darkened chamber, the friend found
little Nellie. The child was sweetly patient,
though every breath was pain.
What do you think, dear children, were
the words with which the little one greeted
her?
With gasping breath, with shining eyes,
,, and heavenly smile flashed over her face,
she exclaimed triumphantly:
"Oh, dear Mrs. H., am going to be an
angel"
That was the way death looked to her.
They could hardly weep when she was
gone. They bent over her white brow, and
the summer roses that encircled it, and said
gently:
"She has gone to be an angel"
So when they think of her, it is not in

TWENTY-FOURTH VOLUME
OF THE
MILWAUKEE SENTINEL.
Published Daily, Tri-weekly, Weekly.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1869.


The Ist Of January will commence a new
volume of the SRNTINEL. The past year has
been one of severe trial to newspapers;-while
the demand for news has increased, the means
of support, or, at least, the sources of profit,
have been materially diminished. The pro-
prietors of the SENTINEL take pleasure in ac-
knowledeing that their efforts to keep pace
with events in these stirring times have not
been unappreciated. and the SENTINEL in its
continued endeavors to present its countless
readers with the earliest news, and its I'M
swerving advocacy of the Union and Consti-
tuition have been acknowledged and sustained
in liberal manner.
In making preparations for the new volume,
we shall enlarge our facilities for obtaining
important war news, and continue, as hereto
FORE to make the Daily, Tri- Weekly, and
Weekly epitomes of the times:
- The eagerness of the public to obtain the
latest information from the seat of war, and
the anxiety of the many thousands, who have
relations and friends in the Union army, to
hear from the different regiments, have Undue
ed us to make arrangements for ample cores
pondence from all the different points at
which troops from the west may be stationed.
The SENTINEL, as heretofore. ii is hardly
necessary to say, viii be the firm supporter of
Republican principles, the fearless opponent
of local and national wrong, and the medium
of expression for the Mechanic, the Agricul-
turist, and the Merchant.
