HAS THE THING LIT.-A gawky back
woods boy was once at a depot on one of
the Georgia railroads, and was, of course,
deeply interested in gazing, for the first time
at the "fxins."
Finally he got inside of car, and while
indulging his unbounded curiosity, the whsN
tie screamed, the bell rang, and the steam
horse began to surge at the rate of 2:40.
ooh, Lordy," shouted the boy, "stoP it, l
amt gwine" Bursting forward, he opened
the door and jumped out on the platform.
Just then the train was crossing a deep
and cadaverous look 'ng gorge on treste work,
and seeing the earth and tree tops beneath
him, he tainted and fell. Directly he came
too, and looking up at the conductor, who
stood near him, he exclaimed with a deep
sigh-"Oh, LOrdy, stranger, has the thing
lit ?'

SEEING THRoUGH WATER.-The last

SEEING THRoUGH WATER-The last
number of the Edinburgh ReUie'7 says:
Currents in the very bed of a river, or
beneath the surface Of the sea, may be
watched, as Mr.. Campbell informs US, by
an arrangement which the smugglers used
in old DAYS. They sank their contraband
q cargo~when there was an alarm, and they
searched for it again by the help OF So
called marine telescope 1t was nothing
more than a cask with plate Of strong glass
at the bottom. The man plunged the closed
end few inches below the surface, and put
his head into the other end, and then he
saw clearly into the water. The glare and
confused reflections and refractions from aud
through the rippled surface of the sea, were
entirely shut out by this contrivance. Seal
hunters still use it. With simple apparatus,
the stirring life of the sea-bottom can be
watched at leisure and with great distinct~
ness So far as this contgivance enables men
to see the land under the waves, movements
under water close y resemble movements un-
der air Sea weeds, like plants, bend beneath
the gale; fish, like birds, keep their head to
the stream, and hang poised on their fins;
mud clouds take the shape of water clouds
in air, impede the light, cast shadows and
take shapes which points the directions in
which currents flow 1t is strange, at first,
to hang over the boats side peering into a
new world, and the interest grows. There
is excitement in watching big fish swoop
like hawks out of their Sea>weed forest after
a white fly sunk to the tree tops to tempt
them, and the fight which follows is better
fun when plainly seen. Mr.. Campbell sug
gests plate glass windows in the bottom Of
boat; it would bring men and fish face to
face; and the habits of the latter could be
easily watched.

A sunbeam shone on a romping brook,
s. Leaping so wild and free,
And stole kiss through every nook
OF each DER shadowIng tree.
The streamlet onward rushed in vain,
The sunlight would pursue
And kissed the ripples DER again
When e'er they came in view,
And make them weary in silyery sheen,
A wilderness Of light,
Wooing that beautiful, laughing queen,
Where 'er she turned in flight
The trembling leaves danced in the shade,
As If they loved TO see
The keen delight Of the laughing maid
Passing so hastily.
81 wish could fee on the doves feet wings
Above the mirty streams,
And, then, oh, sun! the brooklet sings,
"My wings would chase their beams"
Hove you we'll, +" said the glowing sun,
''For you are pnre and bright,
And though you ripple, and laugh, and run,
you will give back my light.
But as you are my JOY and pride,
Let us proceed in mirth-

Rejoicing all the earth.

THRIVE SLowLY.-It is dangerous for a
man to grow rich and strong faster than he
grows good do not think it is wise to
grow rich too fast, at any rate. do not
mean to say that there may not be men of
such stature that they can grow rich rapidly
without being hurt by their riches; but gen
orally God makes the road to riches one of
care, so that the process is one of education,
and so that, when a man has attained his
competence, he has gone through that which
is strengthener, stitfener, and which pres
vents him from being much injured BY it.
But when men come into the possession Of
wealth without having earned it, they are
apt to be injured by it, because they have
not received that education which is necessa-
ry to enable them to administer it properly.

arrested for the murder of her three young

iessed that she gave them arsenic, thinking
it better to send them to the spirit world
while innocent. The children's ages were
four, six and nine years. 1t appears, how
ever, that David J. Baker, aspiritual doctor,
boarding with Mrs. Haviland, had been de-
veloping two young women, fellow boarders,
as trance mediums, and that the existence
of the children was a bar to Mrs. Haviland S
travelling with the party as proposed. Hence
their deaths were revealedias necessary, and
