Is any change operated on man by a
change in the velocity of his motion round
the axis of the earth? Suppose, for in
stance, dweller in latitude 60 degrees
were to change his residence to the equa-
tor, he would double his velocity For
while at latitude 60 degrees, he travels
round with the earth at the rate of 500
miles an hour, at the equator he does 1000
miles an hour. Again, at the latitude rs
degrees, the Greenlander is lazily carried
round paltry 130 miles an hour, while
the man at the North Pole calmly revolyes
about himself once in "a hours. OF course
the motion is unfelt, because all things
move together, but the change from
tropical to an Arctic climate is so great
that it may possibly produce physical or
mental effects of which we are as yet un-
conscious. of course the steering of
ship from nortL to south must be sensibly
affected by the constant acceleration from
west to east. On the long railways of
Russia, too, I believe it is found that rails
are uniformly more worn on the one side
than on the other, in consequence of this
force.

BEAUTIFUL CHILD.
BY MAJOR wM. A. II. sIGoURNEY

-.'"-NN~---
Beautiful child by thy mothers knee,
In the mystic future what wilt thou be?
demon of sin, or an angel sublime
poison of Upas, or innocent Thyme
A spirit of evil flashing doDn
With lurid light of fiery crown
Or gliding up with shining track,
Like the morning star that ne'er looks back,
Daintiest dreamer that ever smiled,
Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child?
Beautiful child in my garden bowers,
Friend of the butterflies, birds and flowers,
Pure as the sparkling crystalline stream,
Jewels of truth in thy fairy eyes beam
Was there ever whittier soul than thine
Worshipped by Love in mortal shrne2
Ny heart thou hast gladdened for two sweet
years
With rainbows of Hope through mists of tears
Mists beyond which the sunny smile
With its halo of glory beams all the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look is given
CLEAN serene, not of earth, but of heaven,
With thy tcl-tale eyes and prattling tongue,
Would that thou couldst ever be young.
Like the liquid strain Of the mocking-bird,
From stair to hall thy voice is heard.
How oft in the garden nook thour rt found,
With flowers thy curly head around
And kneeling beside me with fingers so quaint
Oh who would not dote on my infant saint?
Beautiful child, what thy fate shall be
Perchance is widely hidden from me.
A fallen star thou may st leave my side,
And of sorrow and shame become the bride.
Shvering and quivering through the cold street,
With a curse behind and before thy feet
Ashamed to live, and afraid to die;
No home, no friend and pitiless sky.
Merciful Father, my brain grows Wild
Oh keep from evil my beautiful child
Beautiful child, may st thou soar above,
A warbling cherub of joy and love,
A drop on Eternty's mighty sea,
A blossom on Life's immortal tree
Floating, Towering evermore
In the blessed light of the golden shore;
And as gaze on thy sinless bloom
And thy radiant face, they dispel my gloom,
! feel He will keep thee undeiled,
And His love protect my beautiful child.

A STUDY FOR FOREIGNERS.

pretty deer is dear to me-
A hare with downy hair,
hart love with all my heart
But barely bear bear.
IT'S plain that no one takes plane
To have pair of pears;
A rake, though, often takes rake,
And tears away the tares.
All rays raise thyme, time RACES all
And through the whole, hole wears
A writ in writing "right," may write
1t "wright' and still be wrong,
For write" and "rite'' are neither Fright"
And don't to write belong.
Beer often brings bier to man,
Coughing coffin bring,
And too much ale will make US all
AS well as other things.
The person lies who says he lies
When he is not reclining,
And when consumptive folks decline
They all decline declining.
A quail don't quail before storm;
A bough will bow before it;
We cannot rein the rain at all;
No earthly powers reign over it.
The dyer dyes awhile, then dies,
To dye he's always trying,
Until upon his dying bed,
He thinks no more of dyeng.
A son of Mars mars many q sun;
All deys must have their days,
And every knight should pray each night
To him who weighs his ways.
IT'S meet that man should mete out meat
To feed misfortune's SON.
The fair should fare on love alone,
Else one cannot be won.
A lass, alas is sometimes false;
Of faults maid is made;
Her waist is but barren waste
Though stayed she is not staid.
The springs spring forth every spring, and shoot
Shoot forward Que and all;
Though summer kills the flowers, it leaves
The leaves to fall in the fall.

But you might find it stale;
So let's suppose that we have reachee
