NO. 12.


The sea flows over certain Swallows
in Holland. The shore belongs to pri-
vate parties, or to the state, MS the case
may be. Beneath the water is thick
layer of fine black mud. In its present
position it is useless. Exposed to the
air it will make the finest soil that can
be imagined A company is formedand
possession taken of the tract OF water.
At great expense an earthen wall is
projected into the sea, enclosing GER
tain space. Powerful pumps are erected.
Steam or wind power is applied, and
the seemingly hopeless task Of pumping
out whole square miles Of water is at
tempted. The engineers take their
places, and the stockholders go to
sleep or die, as the fancy strikes them.
Wait they must, AMI years will slip
away before the bottom Of their lake
appears. II their pockets were any
thing but Dutch, their. bottoms would
appear before the land. AT last wet
bog takes the place of the sea, and
ships sail up and look over the bank
at the newly.discovered country. The
mllln WOTh Vi tnt pumps 10 uoHct out
months must pass before the owners can
even walk upon the soft black mud.
bitches must be dug through it, and
joined one to the other, so that the
pumps may begin once more and drain
the last drop from the spongy soil. In
about two years after it appears the land
is fit for the plow.
Then comes the first dividend for the
patient stockholders, md the heirs drag
forth the forgotten wills to see who owns
the new country. The land is divided
into farms of convenient size, and sold
or let at a handsome profit. Hereafter
the only expense is to keep the dyke in
order, to pump ont the rainfall and col
lect the rent The happy shareholders
may go to sleep or travel. All is secure
unless the dyke bursts. They need
not concern themselves on that score.
Other men build houses with their Chin
ney tops on level with the sea, and
risk their all on these sunken farms,
and the mere shareholders mny bide in
peace.

The distant hills arc looking nigh.
How restless arc the snorting swine;

Low DER the grass the swallow wings;

Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping O'er her whiskered Jaws.
Through the clear stream tho fishes rise
And nlmbly catch tn incautious fios
The glow-worms, numerous aud bright,
Humid the dowy dell last night.

And in the rapid eddy playa;

WIFE AS A MoRAL PRUNING KSTFE.-
A iudicious wife is always shipping on

II you declare you will do some absurd

chief part of nll common sense there is

woman. The wisest things which man
