How old is God! Has he gray hairi
Can he see YETI Where did he have to stay
Before You know-he had made anywhere?
Who does he pray to-when he has to prayi
How many drops are in the seai
How many stars!-well, then, You ought to

How many flowers are on an apple-trees

THE AGUE.


Once upon an evening bleary,
While sat me dreaming. dreary,
In the sunshine, thinking over
Things that passed in days of yore,
While | nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came something creeping,
Creeping upward from the floor,
lisa cooling breeze, lmuttefed,
Prom the Regions meath the, floor;
Only this, and nothing more ~
"a. y vias@s~-
Alft distinctly / remember \\
1t was in that wet September,
When the earth and every member
OF creation that it bore l f9t fi-r
Had for weeks and months been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking, q s = {
Foggy rain, that without Joking, LIZ -
We had ever seen before,
SO knew it mustbe very 99d
Cold and damp beneath the floor
3, Very cold beneath tie fioer,1G W /
So ! sat me, nearlynapping, = ETtfN'
In the sunshine, stretching, gaping, - =
With a feeling quite delighted, s-~ .---,
| ,Withthe breezes meath the foor, -
| Till l felt me growing colder,
And the stretching waxing bolder,
And myself now growing older &
Older than | felt before;
Feeling that nay joints were. SITTER
| / Than they were in days Of yore,
Sitter than they'd been before.
All along my back, the creeping
Soon gave place to rustling leaping,
| AS if countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
\ All the cayities-the varments,-
| 'TwiXt and my neither garments;
Through my boots into the floor,
Then | found myself a shaking, ..sjs.
| Every moment more and more.
Twas the ague; and it shook me
Into heavy clothes and took me
Shaking to the kitchen, every
Place where there was warmth in store
Shaking till the china ratified,
Shaking till the molars battled;
| Shaking, and with all my warming,
Feeling colder than before;
Shaking till it had exhausted
All its powers to shake me more,
! Till II could not shake me more
Then it rested till the morrow,
! " hen 1t came with all the horror
Then it had the face to borrow
Shaking shaking as before;
And from that day in September
Day which shall long remember
1t has made diurnal visits,
Shaking, shaking, OH so sore,
Shaking off my boots, and shaking
Nc tc bed if nothing more -
\ -s--s~ s~~N@~ -
T And to-day the swallows fitting
Round my cottage see me sating
Moediiy, Within the sanshine,
Just beside my siIentdoor,y 1.G5Er
A Waiting for the aGue, seeming.
Like Il man forever dreaming;
And the sunlight on me streaming
Cast no shadows on the floor, go
For am too thin and tallow
To make a shadow on the floor

BRAZILIAN TURTLEs.-Thc size of
these creatures may be imagined from the
fact that the dippers and feet of one, in
crawling over the sand, leave track of
two irregular grooves, three or four feet
apart, as through great wagon with cog
wheels had been driven over the ground.
Il is an easy matter to find turtles nest
10y this track. She comes out of the sea
and travels far up on the beach to lay her
eggs in the sand, digging hole foot and
halfto two feet deep for the nest. Pro-
fessor Hartt, who was in Brazil with Pro-
fessor Agassiz,' says that he saw turtle
deposit one hundred and forty-three eggs
in these nests TheHeggs are all laid at
one sitting, then covered up closely with
the sand and left to hatch The eggs are
rather larger than hens eggs, round and
covered with a tough white skin The
Brazillians eat the eggs, and also the
flesh of the turtle. The creature is cap
tured in curious way: Two persons go
behind it, and taking hold of the shell,
turn the animal on its back, in which po-
sitionit isat the mercy Of its captors, as
it is impossible for it to turn over on its
feet again. The hunters areAebhged ID

as it is alarmed it thrusts its. fsre paddles

"BuT WHO WILL READ THE NEW
TANGLED SYSTEM"
was the glib question put to the pioneer
in phonetic reform-Benjamin Pitman-
whose photography is now practiced by
thousands, and engages the attention of
hundreds of inquirers every day. He
could only answer that he believed the
merits of the system would be recognized
in. due time. And-who will read this
new, ,fanglet method of composition, or
shorthand printing?" Thousands here,
in England and in Europe, can read
it "on siglt !" and other thousands who
have acquind a correct 'orthography by
reading the etransition alphabet, are
half instructed already. The plan of in
serting phmotypes in familiar passages
accompanied by printed explanations, will
be a great aid to beginners. This typio
method is not finaliiy but is submitted
as a philosophic and ost3t' ,

Attempts have also been made to popu-
larize the new orthography by means of
transition PRINTING The alphabet was
made to resemble the one in common use
so closely that any one could read at
once, or by a few minutes study, while
it contained no g silent" letters, nor re-
quired more than one letter for any ele-
mentary sound - that is, eight" was

HEALTHFULNEss OF APPLEs.-There
is scarcely an article OF vegetable food
more widely useful and more universally
liked than the apple. Why every farmer
has not an apple orchard wherever the
trees will grow at all, is one of the mys-
teries. Let every housekeeper lay in
good supply of apples, and it win be the
most economical investment in the culin1
aries. A raw mellow apple is digested in
an hour and half. while boiled cabbages
reouire five hours. The most healthfli
dessert that can be placed on the table IS
baked apple If eaten frequently at
breakfast withscoarse bread and butter,
without meat or flesh of any kind, it has
an admirable effect on the general systems
of removing constipation, acidities, and
cooling off febrile conditions more effect
uallys than the most approved medicines
| If families could he induced to use apples
sound and ripe, for pies, cakes and
sweetmeats, with which their children are
too frequently stuffed, there would be di-
minution in the sum total of doctor s
bills, in a single year sufficient TO lay in a
