A MOTHERS LOVE.

Some years ago, some English officers
camping in the vicinity of Mulkapoor, went
out tiger-hunting, and bagged splendid
tigress. Whilst returning home with the
trophy, they found in a secluded spot, in
the lee Of Jagged rock, what evidently
was the lair of a tiger, for there lay bones
Of both human and brute kind, shreds and
rags of clothing. More interesting than
all, however, was the discovery Of a tiny
kitten, not more than fortnight old, coiled
in corner, winking and blinking and gap
ing at the intruders The hunters at once
decided that this must be the cub Of the
beast they had slain, and willingly took
charge of the little orphan.
Tiger kittens are not captured every day,
SO when the hunters returned to their quar-
ters, the excitement in their tent was con
siderable The newly acquired kitten was
provided with tiny dog-collar and chain,
and attached to the tent-pole, round which
if gambolled, to the delight Of an audience
numbering nearl y twenty. About tw 0 hours
after the capture, however, and just as it
was growing dark, the good people in the
tent were checked in the midst of their hi
larity by a sound that caused the bravest
hC"lG " bCbI A8tuCI l1tC5 uiaLly
1t was the roar, or rather combination Of
shrek and roar, peculiar to the tiger when
driven mad with rage. In an instant the
gambling kitten became every inch IT,
ger, and strained with all its baby strength
at the tether, while it replied, with loud
wall, to the terrible voice outside The
company were panic-stricken. There was
something so sudden and unearthly in the
roar, that it seemed as though the great IT,
ger, brought in an hour before, had come to
life again. Certainly, the tiger in question
was already fayed, but the picture conjur
ed up, became not the more pleasant for
that. There was, however, not nearly so
much time for speculation to the sacred
company as writing these lines has cost :;
for almost simultaneous with the roar, there
lcpt sheer into the centre Of the tent,a bold
tigress, and without deigning to notice a
single man there, she caught her kidnapped
baby by the nap of its neck, and giving a
jerk, snapped the little chain, and turning
for the tent door, trotted off at full speed
After all, it appeared that the little thing
did not belong to the tiger that was slain,
but to the brave mother that had tracked
and recovered it, Sanguinary man-eater
as she may have been, one can be scarcely
sorry to hear tLat not gun was leveled at
the great rejoicing creature, as she bore off
her young one.

civil war, and the flame is not yet extn-
guished in the hearts Of the former slave
holding aristocracy. Having failed in
their first attempt to destroy the Govern
ment they seek to retain political power
by the same spirit of political violence by
which their chiefs had sustained their su-
premacy before the war. My deliberate
conclusion is that if the military force be
withdrawn the live of Union men who
proved themselves conspicuous in main
tanning their allegiance will not be safe
The ultimate security both of the Govern
ment and Union men of the South depend,
In my opinion, on the ratification of the
amendment proposed by Con-
gress and the enfranchisement of the loyal
black man, as he becomes educated and
qualified for that important privilege. If
the advocacy Of these measures Identifies
me with the Radical party in opposition to

LENGTH OF Geological PEMoDs.-All the
facts of geology tend to indicate an anti
guilty, Of which we are beginning to form
but dim idea Take, for instance. one
single iormatiOn--our well known chalk
This consists entirely of shells and frag-
ments Of shells deposited at the bottom Of
an ancient sea far away from any conti-
nent Such a process as this must be very
slow; probably we should be much above
the mark if we were to assume a rate OF
deposition of ten inches in a century Now
the chalk is more than 1000 feet in thick
ness, and would have required, therefore,
more than 100000 years for its formation.
The fossiliferous beds of Great Britain, as
a whole, are more than 1000 feet in thick
ness, and many which, with US, measure
only a few inches, on the continent expand
into strata Of immense depth while 9TH
ers of greatimportance elsewhere are Who'll
| ly wanting with us, tor it is evident that
during all the different periods in which
Great Britain has been dry land, strata
have been forming (as is, for example, the
case now elsewhere, and not with US
Moreover we must remember that many Of
the strata now existing have been formed
at the expense of older ones thus all the
flint gravels in the southeast of England
have been produced by the destruction of
chalk. This again is very slow process.
1t has been estimated that a cliff 500 feet
high will be worn aw>y at the rate of an
inch in a century. This may seem a slow
rate, but we must bear in mind that along
any line Of coast there are comparatively
few points which are suffering at one time,
and that even on these when fall of cliff
has taken place, the fragments serve as a
protection to the coast until they have been
gradually removed by the waves. The
Wealden Valley is twenty-five miles in
breadth, and on these data it has been cal
culated that the denudation of the Weald
must have required more than l50, 100000

THE FARTHER SHORE.
BY MATTE WINFIELD ToRRET.

The tide is deep and the waves run swift,
With a ceaseless ebb and flowing
Our guide stars lost and our bark's adrift,
And ruthless gale is blowing,
We strive to pierce with troubled gaze
Ths dusk of the heaying ocean
The sea is rough and its trackless waves
Are lost in the wild commotion,
Our hearts are filled with thousand fears,
AS we onward move in sadness
Our eyes are dim with the mist of tears,
For we see no CLEAN of gladness.
Yet somewhere still, on the farther shore,
We know that light is shining,
And somewhere hovers, the waters DER,
The cloud with a silver lining.
When the waves run high, and the storm comes
To toy with the crested billow [dowr
When the masts are bent at its dreadful frown,
Like the boughs of the ithesome willow;
Then we gaze afar through the mist and spray,
With hearts that are sad and fearing,
To catch glean through the darkness grey,
OF the farther shore appearing.
To that farther shore we are drifting fast
Each day we are drawing nearer
We hope to enter its port al last
And to see its light shine clearer.
We know that an unseen hand will guide
That an eye is watching ever,
And we feel in our hearts, let what will betide.
We have help that shall fail us never.

A would-be prophet down South late ly

one of our exchanges it is that of a man named
John Hole, who was so lazy that in writing his
name he simply used the letter J.. and then punch

A FABLE.-Two neighbors, whose names
were Self and VIII, attempted to cross a
stream from opposite sides, upon foot
bridge 50 narrow as to allow Of but sin
gle footman at the same time They met
about midway of the stream, where each
insisted that the other must turn back and
give the right Of the way. Each claimed
to be first on tae bridge, and maintained
his ground as prior Each contended for
this right as a matter Of principle, which
would allow of no concession Each plead
ed urgent and important business VIII
feH himself morally bound to maintain his
rights. Self could not in conscience make
concession without sacrificing his honest con-
ctctiOnS. Argament resulted il hard words,
and from hard words they soon came to
blows, and in the struggle to maintain each
his own rights, both fell together in the
stream. Each with much difficulty gained
the shore, exhausted and shivering from
cold bath Each consoled himself with the
idea Of personal suffering for righteous
ness sake y and both became bitter ene-
mics for life
While they were muttering revenge up
on each other, two other neighbors, named
Love and Kindness met in like circum-
stances upon the same bridge. 1t was a
meeting Of glad surprise They exchanged
cheerful and happy greetings and each in
sisted on yielding the right of way to his
brother. Each desired to be first in the
concession and to carry out each others
principles, both twice crossed the bridge
together After friendly chat, they part
ed company, finding in their experience
practical reason for the injunction " Let
each esteem the other better than himself"

When Day BEGINs---Most nations begin
to count the hours from midnight but this
plan was not adopted by men in early ages
of the world, and is now used by three
fourths of the nations Of the earth Some
of the most ancient nations of the world as
the Babylonians, Pcrsians and Hindoos be-
gan the day with the rising of the sun, as
do the Greeks of the present day The
Jews and the ancient Greeks looked upon
sunset as the commencement Of the day
The Egyptian day begins at noon. This
mode of reckoning is still observed by as
tronomers, because the particular instant
called noon, can be ascertained more nicely
than any other part of the day. The Mo-
hommedans begin their day at twilight
