the earth is exceedingly thin, in pro-

as an egg-saell. in proportion to the
size of the egg. With a crust so thin,
eonstently cooling, and producing a
pressure upon the internal masses, it
is not strange that the bed of the ocean

whole cities have been sunk in the SPACE

Teeach we would be true;
Old time has made no change in me,

How often have / wept dear Tom,

The happy scenes of long ago,
When you and I were boys;
But now I'm told you're very poor,
And yeur days in life are few,
Agivesme JOY to meet YOU, Tom
I'm still friend to you.
Old friendship often withers, Tom,
Winner a man grows poor,
The rich and proud forget "old friends"
And know them then no more.
Bxt keep that honest heart Of yours,
Wei make old fi1enasslp new;
tcare not what the world may say,
I'm stiil friend to you.
