DURABILTTY OF .TMBER.-The fol
lowing instances show how extreme
ly durable wood becomes, when kept
immersed in water. The piles under
London bridge have been driven SIX
hundred and fifty years. On eX,
animation, in 1855, they were found
to be but little decayed; they we're
principally ofelm. Old Savory Place
in London, was built about the same
time. i. e. about six hundred and fif-
tv wears ago, and upon recent eX-
animation the wooden piles, consis-
ting of oak, elm, beech and chestnut,
were found to be perfectly sound.
But the most striking example Of the
durability of timber in q wet state, is
afforded in the piles of the bridge
built by the Emperor Tarajan, over
the Dunube. One of the piles was
taken up and found to be petritied
on the surface to the depth Of about
three-fourths of an inch; beneath
this the rest CT the wood was not
different from its original state,
though sixteen hundred years had
elapsed since it was driven (!

The Pleasant Period of Love Making.
Mr.. Anthony Trollope says, in one
Of his works:
Perhaps there is no period so
pleasant among all the pleasant per
iods Of love making as that in which
the intimacy between the lovers is
so assured, and the coming event so
near, as to produce and induce con-
versation about the ordinary little
matters of life; what can be done
with the limited means at their dis
posak how that life shall begin
which they shall lead together; what
idea each has of the others duties;
what each can do for the other; what
each will renounce for the other.
There was a true sense of the delight
of intimacy in the girl who declared
that she had never loved her lover
so well as when she told him how
many pairs of stockings she had got.
1t is very sweet to gaze at the stars,
and it is sweet to sit out among the
haycocks. The reading of poetry
together, out Of the same book, with
brows all close, and arms all mingled
is very sweet; the pouring out OF
whole hearts in written words, which
the writer knows would be held to
be ridiculous by any eyes, ears and
sense but the dear one to whom they
are sent, is very sweet; but for the
girl who has made a shirt for the
man she loves, there has come
moment in the last stitch of it sweet
er than any stars, haycocks, poetry
Or superlative epithets have pro-
duced.

A situation Omen.

The romance of the runaway
darkev was quite played out after
the peoples of the North and South
had pecked their fints for the final
shot. Once in while, however,
there comes a reminiscenee which
shows Sambo's native humor, and
how irresistible was his hankering
for the "boon of freedom. Before
the war there came into the bar
room of a hotel in Canada, near the
frontier, bright-looking negro,
who was thus addressed by one OF
the eminent persons usually found in
such resorts:
I s'pose you're a runaway slave,
said one, looking sharply at the new
conner.
Feeling that he was pretty well
away from bondage, the darkey re-
sponded that he was.
All, indeed; well, we're glae of it
bat you don't seem to look very
poor-have good clothes down
South:'
Certainly said the darkey with
some pride. "Same clothes as my
master"
But gotmany good threshing chi
Never had a whipping in my life,
Never thrashedy said another
well, but you niggers don't always
get enough to eat, do your,
Always had enough, gemmeni
never went hungry.
WHAT said the interrogation
good clothes, no punishment, plenty
to eat. Now said he, turning to
the group, only think of it this
fellow has left a position where he
enjoys all these privileges for an IN
certainty.
'Gemmen, said the darkey, ALL
