for washing and other purposes for which
common soda is ordinarily used. 1t is FREQ
from all earthly matter, and consists of 80
per cent. soda, the balance being salt or
something of that sort. The deposit is in
the midst of an alkali fiat Of some II acres

only about three feet wide, or rather more
like soda spring than anything else, tho
pure article forming in . crust over and
about the watery solution. Upon digging
beneath this, however, the solid soda was
discovered in defined mass, like a quarts

the depth of fifty feet, from the bottom Of
which drift has been made twenty I've feet
into the vein or deposit of soda, without
getting through 1t. In fact very little IL

o In an Obscure Arkansas paper:
Where tho rocks arc gray and the shore 10 steep.
And the water below looks dark and deep.
wkerc tho rugged pine In Its lonely pride,
Leans g,oomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds aud rushcs are long and rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank;
Where the shadow IL heavy the whole dsy through,
Lics At its moorincs the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like = sea-birds wings that the storm has Topped,
And crossed on the railing one ocr one,
Like the folded hands when the work h done;
While busiiy back and forth between,
The spider stretches his silvcsy scrccr.
And The solemn owl with his dull .'too-hoa"
Settles down on the eide Of tho old canoe.
The stern half sunk in tho slimy wave,
Rsts slowly away IN its living grave;
Aud the green moss crceps 0'cs its dull decay,
Hiding its mouldering dust away
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb flower,
Or The Ivy that mantles the falling tower:
While many blossom Of lovcliest huc
Springs up DER the stern Of the old canoe.
The curcntlcss waters are dead and still
But the light wind plays with the boat At will.
And iazily In and out again
II floats the length Of the rusty chain,
Like the weary march Of the hands Of time.
That meet and part at the noontIde chime;
Aud the shore 10 kisecd at each turning Anew,
By the dripping bow Of the old canoe.
o, many time, with careless hand,
have pushed It away from the pebbly strand.
And padded Il down where the stream rune quick,
Where The wtiris are wild and the eddies sre thick
And laughed ~ leaned DER the rocking side,
And looked below In the broken tide,
To sec that the faces and boats were two
That were mirrored back from the old cameo.
Eut now, as lean o'cr the crumblipg side
And look below In tho slnggisk tide,
The face that scc there In grayer grswn,
And the laugh that hear has soberer tone:
And the hands that lent to the light ski6 wings
Have grown familiar with stcsner thinga
But love TO think OF the hours that flew
As rockd where tn whrls their light spray threw,
Ere the blossom waved or the green grass grew
Ger the moujdering stern Of the old canoe.
