Inhabitants Of the Ocean.

TAKE up. q pinch of the soil over which
lies $500 Eathoms of sea-water, submit 1t to
o microscope. and behold though 1t looks
and feels like fine clay, 1t docs not contain q
particle of sand, earth, or gravel. Every
atom under tho lens tells Of life and living
things; the bed of tho Atlantic is strewn
with the bones and shells Ct the myriads Of
creatures inhabiting its waters-creaturess 30
numerous that figures fail to convey an idea,
or the mind to embrace their vast profusion..
The navigator traycrsing the blue sea sails
for days in feet ship, through waters so
thickly covered with small pulpy sea.nettles,
or meduso, that it looks to. him like q
"boundless meadow in yellow leaf" The
savant following on his trail, places single
one OF the sea.blubbers under q lens, and in
ono Of its nino stomachs find 10000 ainty
shells Of microscopic. .diatomace@, one Of the
many animalcul@ OF tho sea. Thus each
creature in these thousand square leagues OF
medusp was sucking from the sea millions
of these diminutiye creatures, and ejecting
their shells, to fall, in gentle yet perpetual
shower, down to the bed Of the ocean, and
there in timo form strata OF silicious and
chalky matter. for future geologists to ponder
over. And remember that upon oil these

that into these helpless colonies sails tho

Talleyrand and Arnold.
HOW THEY MET IN HAyRE.

There was day when Talleyrand arrived
in Havro on foot from Paris. 1t was the
darkest hour of the French Revolution
Pursued ny the blood. d.hounds OF his reign of
terror. Talleyrnd secured q passage to the
United States in ship about to sail. He
was q begger and wanderer to strange
land to earn his daily bread by the sweat OF
his brow.
"Is there any American staying at your
house?" he asked the landlord of the hotel.
al am going to cross the water, and would
like letter to q person of influence in tho
New World"
"There is a gentleman up stairs either from
America or Britain; but whether from Amer
lea or England | cannot tell"
He pointed the way, and Talleyrand. who
in his life was bishop. prince, and minister,
assembled the stairs. A miserable suppliant
he stood before the strangers room, knocked
and entered.
In the far corner of the dimly lighted
room sat u man OF fifty years OF age, his arms
folded and his head bowed upon his breast.
From window directly opposite, flood OF
light poured upon his forehead. His eyes
looked from beneath the downcast brows,
and upon Talleyrand's face, with peculiar
and searching expression. His form. vigo'
rous even with the SHOWS of fifty winters,
was clad in dark but rich and distinguish
ed costume.
Taleyrand advanced, stated that he was q
fugitive. and with tho impression that the
gentleman was an American, he solicited his
kind feeling and Offices.
He poured forth his history in eloquent
French and broken English.
al am wanderer and an exile. I am
forced to fly to the New World without
friend or home. You are an American
Give me. then, beseech you, q letter Of
yours, SO that may be able to earn my
bread am willing to toll in any manner /;
n life of labor would be n paradise to a ca
reer Of luxury in France. You will give INC
u letter to one Of your friends? A gentle.
man like you doubtless has many friends"
The strange gentleman arose. With q
look that Talleyrand never forgot, he retreat.
ed toward the door of the next chamber, his
eyes looking still from beneath his darkened
brow. lie spoke as he retreated backward !;
his voice was full of meaning: "Iam the
only man of tho New World who can raise
his hand to God and say, have not friend
mot one in America" ... .. .,.s.
Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelming
sadness Of the look which accompanied these
words. ~ sr-.
"Who arc your" he cried, as tho strange
man retrcated to the next room; "your
name?" ..s.. ,
my name," he replied, with smile that
had more of mockcry than JOY in its convul.
sivc expression, ,-"my name is s'Bcnedict Ar
mold" F ~
He was gone. Talleyrand sank in tho
chair, gasping the words, "Arnold the trai.
tor"
Thus he wandered over tho earth, another
Cain, with the wanderers mark upon his
brow. and his sad fate is likly to be shared
by others Of our own day, who are proving
traitors to their native land.

Catch the words while yet unspoken,
Stop the vow before tits broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
blessings In a Sayior's name.
