Battles of the Swordf1sh and the
Whale.


Among the extraordinary spectacles
sometimes witnessed by those who ''go
down to the sea in ships" none are
more impressive than combat for
supremacy between the monsters of the
deep. The battles Of the swordfsh and
the whale are described as Homeric in
grandeur. The swordfish go in shoals
like whales, and the attacks are often
regular sea-6ghts. When the two
troops meet, as soon as the Sword6sh
have betrayed their presence by few
bounds in the air, the whales draw to-
gether and close their ranks The
swordfsh always endeavors TO take
the whale in flank, either because it's
cruel instinct has revealed to it the de-
feet in the cuirass-for there exists near
the brachial fins of the whale spot
where wounds are mortal--or because
the flank presents wider surface to its
blows. The swordfiSh recoils to secure
a greater impetus. If the movement
escapes the keen eye of its adversary,
the whale is lost, receives the blow of the
enemy, and dies almost instantly. But
if the whale perceives the swordfish at
the instant OF therush, by spontaneous
bound it springs clear OF tie water its
entire length, and falls on its flank with
a crash that resounds many leagues, and
whitens the sea with boiling foam. The
gigantic animal has only its tail for de-
fence. 1t tries to strike its enemy, and
finish him with single blow. But if
the active sword fish avoids the fatal
tail, the battle becomes more terrible.
The aggressor springs from the water
in its turns, falls upon the whale, and
attempts, not to pierce, but to saw it
with the teeth that garnish its weapon.
The sea is stained with blood the fury
of the whale is boundless. The sword
fish harnesses him, strikes on every side,
kills him, and flies to other victories.
Often the swordfish has not time to
avoid the fall of the whale, and contents
itself with presenting its sharp saw to
the flank of the gigantic animal which
is about to crush it. 1t dies then like
Macabeus, smothered beneath the
weight of the elephant of the ocean -
Finally, the whale gives few last bounds
into the air, dragging its assassin in its
fight, and perishes as it kills the mon
ster of which it was the victim. The
heroic combats of the sword6sh with
the whales would asswedly furnish
matter for a strange poem, in which
the grand would contend with the ex-
centric. The sea of blood, loaded with
monstrous bodies devoid Of life, and slain
upon each other, would be a picture
worthy OF inspiring a rival of the singer
OF the Batrachomyomachir. Ii the di,
vine Homer did not hesitate to celebrate
the wars Of mice and frogs, why should
not one of the sons of Apollo accord
the recital Of the exploits Of the sword
fish, and the formidable resistance OF
! the piant of the waters?

Honor The Bible.

"This Bible must not be on the foor,"
said little boy, seven years old, as he
carefully took up the sacred volume
which some one had laid on the car
pet. "How could anybody put the
Bible there ;" he exclaimed in aston
ishment.
Edward always treated the Bible with
reverence; and even when he grew up,
and was for time a worldly man, he
could not bear to see it abused or handled
with disrespect. .
! remember, one day, after his return
from a residence in far distant lands, as
he came into the room where we were
sitting, he saw that the open window,
the cord of which was broken, was
supported by a Bible. | was but little
girl then; yet | recollect, as if it were
yesterday, how expressive his fine, dark
eyes were Of pain and amazement, as
he went to the window, and, removing
the Bible, said, "Allow me to put an
other book in place Of this Bible. do
not like to see it used for any common
purpose"
AS years passed on, Edward learned
to love as well as reverence tho Word
Of God. A small copy of it, given him
by an older sister, was the companion
Of his wanderings about the world
He died far from home and friends. -
1t was n sad day when the trunks con-
tanning his clothing and books were
brought to us. We felt that his Bible
would be the most precious thing of
ALL and at last we found it. There
it was; worn indeed, but it had been
handled so carefully through the long
years, that not a leaf was loose, not a
stain was upon its sacred pages We
found several of his fayorite verses
marked; and they spoke to us of his
love for God and His Word, and of his
penitent humble spirit.
We have seen Bibles with their covers
scratched by pins and cut by penknives
We have seen some in which people
ciphercd, or scribbled nonsense, to
while away idle moments We have
seen others thrown away into boxes of
rubbish, with their leaves all falling out
We have seen them shamofully covered
with dust.
How do you treat your Bible, chill
dreni Above all, do you constantly
read it. May God make You "wise
unto salvation" through the reading of
His word, Tile appeal

The Spiritualists.

IL. ID. Thoreau, in one of his letters,
speaks of the ulterances of the spirits
around Concord (and they are the same
the world over) in the following con-
temptuous language:
Concord is just as dotic as ever in
