Newpert and Saratoga, Lake George and
the CstskilIs succeeded, one another on
the travelling programme Of the Thornes,
and, greatly to TIE annoyance Of the
'reigning bellies in general, Colonel
Tremaine accompanied the party where
ever they went.
Tt was lovely morning in early Oc-
tober, the woods all touched with frosty
crimson, and the asters and marigolds
woying their golden spears along the
shores Of the Niagara river, when Min
ME Tbornc came into her sisters room
in the great hotel. She had been wan
dering through the leafy wilderness Of
Goat Island, with Col. Tremaine, but
that was not sufficient reason for the
deep color that suffused her cheek, nor
was the moisture upon her eye-lashes
altogether the spray Of Niagara.
'.Isabel!" she whispered, laying her
head on her sisters shoulder, Il am
very, very happy. Colonel Tremaine
has asked me to become his wife,"
Isabel was naturally good-hearted,
and she smothered her own pang Of dis
appointment with an effort, as she fold
ed Minnie in her arms.
i am glad ofcit Minnie-you viii
make him an excellent little wife. But
to think Of his choosing homespun lit
tie body like you'll
The real clue to this matrimonial mys-
terry was never discovered until one day,
not long after the wedding, when hrs.
Tremaine was bending carressingly over
her little step-daughter murmuring the
cadences Of sweet cradle song. Sud
denly hand was laid ON her shoulder
She started, and smiled to meet the ten
der light Of her husbands $ eye. ad
Sing on, Minnie" he said fondly.
Il like to see you with Bessie on your
lap. You were sitting just in that atti
tude, with that same smile on your face,
the day / fell in love with YOU
Il don't know what you mean,
Charles"
Don't you remember a warm day in
August, love, and a baby that acou7d cry
in crowded stage-coach, and blue
eyed little damsel who soothed the child,
and tended it even though her naughty
sister declared she hated babies?' I
felt a sort of intuition that the blue eyed
lassie would make tender mother to
my little orphaned one, and then and
there | lost my heart Dearest | have
never regretted the loss -
Isabel sitting in the next room, by a
honey suckle shadowed bay window,
heard every word Of this little conversa-
tion-and she could not help thinking
how slight had been the words and
glances that had decided the destiny Of
her sisters life and her own.
If you throw a pebble into the CLASSY
bosom Of the stillest lake, the circling
ripples widen around it with constantly
extending spheres, long, long after the
stone is forgotten. And so it is with
every word and deed Of our lives. g

THE SIMPLEST Form OF ANIMAL LIFE.
In making the soundings for the Allan
tic Telegraph between Newfoundland
and Ireland, a small tube with a valve
was fitted to the end Of the line, so as to
bring up a little Of the sediment from
the bottom Of the sea, and when this was
dried it was found to be a dust SO fine
that on rubbing it between the fingers,
it would disappear in the cracks of the
skin. On nplacing this dust under mi
croscope, each particle was seen to be a
shell-the home of a sentient being !.
When these shells are highly magnifcd,
little holes are discovered in them,
through which delicate flaments pro
trade that are the animals organs Of To-
comotion. AS these flaments branch
out like the roots Of tree, the animal
is called rhizopod, from two Greek
words which signify root-footed. AS the
rhizopod is the simplest form Of animal
life, it is probably the oldest. The
shells are found in all the geologic peri
DDS, and as We 60 down in the strata, or

which was laid down in the age Of rep

MULES BY THE MILE.-The Chata-
nooga Gazette states that between the
point Of Lookout Mountain and Bridge
port, down the valley of the Tennessee,
lie twenty-five miles Of dead mules in
one continuous string, the head Of the
first carcass lying on the quarterback
of the one beyond him, and SO on thr'o
out the entire distance. The same pa
per says: "Just imagine conYulsion
of nature Of sufficient magnitude to bury
these remains as they now lie, and fancy
the feelings Of future agassiz, who IN

Ode to the New Year.

= q =
How circling time, with ever rapid haste,
Another year has stolen in his fight
And how revolving earth again has traced
Her annual circuit round the orb oflight
Stern winter comes, and his attendant train;
Now snow and storms and biting frosts
appear; r,.
While bitter piercing winds and pelting rain
Alternate usher in the new born year
, Arrn'd with the terrors ofthe skies it comes,
Ard riding on the wings Of ftetnpests dire,
Makes its first entrance wrapt in sullen
gloom I (ft8 #lH /
Or boist'rous raging in its dread attire.
Severe its infant aspect-on its brow
No cheering smile is ever seen to play,
But gloomy and forbidden to the view,
1t frowns terrific on it's natal day
How dark and dreary the surrounding scene
How joyless and how dcsolate appear
The fields, the woods, robb'd of their ver-
dant green! a. re
How Heak the prospect ofthe rising year.
Deep wrapp'din snow Or bound inicy chains
Neglected lays the lately smiling land,
While DER the mournful face Of Nature
reigns
Silence, and desolation's iron hand.
And 10 the dreadful ravages Of war,
Now wide extend along our shores;
The brazqn- throated trumpet from afar,
In unison with Natures tumult roars.
The dreadful monument shall evermore
Remain on record on th' historic page,
Of cursed warts lust Of poWr-
Remorse!ess cruelty, and savage rage.
But let US join our fervent prayers, i,
That these calamities may shortly cease;
And, when we next hail this returning day,
The world may rest in universal peace. .

MATHEMATICS Mathematics is the
most noble and elevated science the hui
man mind can investigate or study.
Each question that the student under
takes to solve, when accomplish ed,
but leads to another and higher,
and thus leads the intellect to consider
and grapple with the grandest reali
cations Of truth in ouruniverse. All
other sciences except those rel ting
to living beings are based upon it
Astronomy, its eldest child, and Me-
chanies, it's most useful servant, are but
practical mathematics. How grand
and noble to calculate the distance of
Stars, the motions of the planets, and
to prophecy the appearance Of a meteor!
and how useful and glorious, as advanc-
ing true civilization, to calculate the
horse power Of a steam engine, to esti-
mate the extent Of a bed Of coz or to
determine the practical strength Of iron!
All these are done by the aid Of this
science, and the world teens with OBJ
jeots for Investigation.

shoeing Horses.

w. Sones, a veterinary surgeon Of
London, gives the following simple
rules for shoeing horses: "a a Il
Il. After having taken OFF the old
shoe shorten the toe, and remove all the
dead and loose parts Of the ,noof7 Do
not cut the sole or pare the frog, except
when the foot has received an injury
from nail or otherwise, when it must
be cut out.
2. Let the shoe be of equal thick
ness, or rather thinner at the heel--
The ground and foot surface should be
perfectly level The shoe should be
light on the heel. Too many nails are
Objectionable, and these should be kept
as far as possible from the heels .asaqoya
3. For the hind feet there is no OBJ
lection to calkins, though they are Of
doubtful benefit. Horses travel much
better without them. The hind shoes
are made thicker at the toes than at
the quarters; the nails can also be put
closer to the heels without causing in
convenience ames 81 s3a elj
4. Side clips should be avoided;
they destroy the hoof; this is the case
when the nails are too close together.
The feet should never be rasped as it
destroyes the enamel Of the hoof, rem
ders them brittle, and causes sandcrack
and conseq uently lameness.
s. Expansion is a fatal error which
has led to many abuses in shoeing,
such as pairing off the sole and frog,
rasping off the hoof, &c. The elasticity
Of the foot, whichis however, very linn
tied, exists only in the upper part of
the hoof, principally round the cornet.
