THE MYSTERY or NATURE.


The works Of God arc fair for naught,
Unless our eyes, in seeing,
See hidden in the thing the thought
That animaies its being.
The outward form is not the whole,
But every part is moulded
To image forth an inward soul
That dimly is unioldcd.
The shadow, pictured in the lake
by every tree that tromblcs,
l. east for more than just the sake
OF that which it resembles.
The dew falls nightly. not alone
Because the meadows need il,
But on an orrand Of its own,
To human souls that need It,
The stars are lighted in the skies,
Not merely for their shining,
But, like looks Of loving eyes,
Have meanings worth divining.
The waves that moan along the shore,
The winds that sigh in blowing,
Are sent to teach a mystic lore
Which men are wise in knowing.
The clouds around the mountain peak,
The rivers IN their winding,
Have secrets, which, to all who seek
Are secrets In the finding.
Thus nature dwclls within our reach,
But though we stand so near her,
We still interpret half her speech
With ears too dull to hear her.
Whoever, at the eoarsest sound,
Still listens to the finest,
Shall hear the noisy world 20 round
To music the dirincst.
Whoever yearns to sec Alright
Because his heart is tender,
Shall catch glimpse Of heavenly light
Ia every earthly splcndor.
So, since the universe began,
And till il shall be ended,
The soul Of nature, soul Of man,
And soul Of God aro blended

TnE ELEPHANT AS A WALKER.-Wo
have found two curious points over
looked or ignored 10y writers-one is
the rapid and noiseless movements Of
this animal in the thickest cover; the
other, his capabilities Of passing over
ground for him apparently unfeasa
bic. The elastic, noisoless football Of
the elephant has been frequently re.
ferred TO by writers on Indian sub.

most agreeable feature in journoying

ination of the structure of the ami
mails foot; but the silently, stcalthy
way in which he will pass through
the desert thicket, literally Slipping
away when his acute sense Of smell
or hearing warn him of danger, has
been overlooked, and appears to US
somewhat difficult of explanation
Let any one unskilled IN the myste-
ries of "bush ranging attempt to
move oven few PAGES in an ordina-
ry fox.covert without noise, and he
will form some idea of the difficulties
presented TO the passage of so huge
an animal as the elephant through
the dense tangle of a South African
"bush." Yet that the animal, dcs
pitc his enormous bulk, will "draw
OIL, when within a fcw yards of his
pursucr, without the slightest noise,
and with the greatest rapidity, even
ia tho thickcst cover is undoniablc.-
Again his powers of passing over DIFF
fuult ground are often underratcd
even by hunters. When experiments
were Grst made in India ia training
elephants TO draw the gun, it was dis
covered with surprise that the ami
mails power for ascending steep and
rugged ground was far greater
than had bcen anticipated. Tho gun,
a light six.pourdcr, with which the
trial was first made. was drawn up q
slope so steep as to require the animal
to crawl upon his fore knees, which it
did without hesitation. On the other
hand, hampered by the gun and har.
ness, the elephant a small female
showed unusual dread Of soft and
swampy ground.

The contempt with which the Senate
has treated Denmark, a small but most
friendly power, is a stain upon the nation
al honor. Our own Foreign Secretary,
with the concurrence Of the President,
urged a treaty upon Denmark for buying
ST. Thomas, and Denmark declined. The

good faith and, after a long negotiation,
Constantly pressed and urged by us, a
convention agreeable to the wishes and

Of October, 1867. 1t was to have been
ratified by the oath of February, 1868.
That day passed without so much as a
word from the Foreign Committee of the

lister, making a year from the date of the
convention. That day passed without the
