Tie tides purity and wash the
shores, cleaning and sweeping our
ports the currents, which result
therofrom, discncumber our road
steads of the masses of mud which
load them, clear the mouths of the
river, and produce pure and whole
some freshness. At fixed hour the
formidable masses o. waite, raised
by an invisible power, rise and ap-
proach the shore. They rise, they
precipitate themselves with resistless
power, but only to stop gently at
precise moment, without ever passing
the boundary which Nature has trac-
ed IL is surely IN honor to the
human race to have succeeded in cal.
culating the very hour, nay, tho ex-
act minute in which the oscillations
Of the sea begin and end III every part
of our Globe. Nevertheless rs yet,
unknown combinations will, at times,
produce terrible disasters tha. cannot
be avoided by any foresight or pre-.
caution. Thus, occasionally pow
erful wind happens to blow in the
same direction with tho tide, and
gives it incredible force and fury.
No lofty ombankment reared by
the hand of man, no rocky rampant
raised by Nature herself, can then
withstand its power and towns are
swept in IN instant, and thousands of
persons lose thei- lives. In some
parts Of the Globe the tide produces
remarkable effects from the peculiar
formation of the coast which it strikes.
The most striking is that OF the Mai
ritius, whore long rocky promonto-
ry runs far out into the sea, and has
been worn by the waves into. numer-
GUS caves and grottoes of marvellous
beauty and grotesqueness. Tho wa
ters have forced for themselves an
outlet through the roof Of ono of
these caves, and when the tidal wave
reaches the coast it fills tho cave, aad
then with indescribable grandeur,
flies through tho opeiiing to tho
height of sixty feet, accompanied by
"A laundering roar which is heard for
miles out at sea.

Having n Home.

We join with cotemporary in an
appeal to oil young men TO mako an
effort 10 secure home as soon as
possible.
10 tho hard working, Industrious
mechanic or laborer, VIII at can be more
pleasant, more gratifying than to re-
turn after his days work is over, to
his hons, wh,rc his family is aux
iously awaiting his return, and sit
down under his own root, and be able
to say to that family for whom he
lives and for whom he tolls This

haps, be subjected to the same misior-
tune" And it is the same with the
business man, and the professional
man. Aud yet how few, comparative.
Iy speaking, secure tor themselves Il
home, although all will admit that,
had they mado the effort in timo, OF
had they taken advantage of some
particular opportunity which they re-
collected, they might have one, Had
they not wasted their timo aui
means, they, too. might DO able to sit
down under their own "yino aud fs
tree And here lies the secret why
so many are without homes OF their
own. Hundreds Of people who, had
they been vigilent might have bought
and paid for comfortable home, we
might say almost without an effort.
But because their income was ~
small. aud il took oil to provide for
their families, or TO keep up to the
style while sing'c, they thought the
balance too small to be worth saving
aud were waiting until they could
by some speculation or "streak ol
good luck" make big haul, aud
then they would provide home.
But, alas for ;ben, the biz haul was
never made. and after old aSo had
come, they could look back and sec
chances they had OF purchasing al
such low figures that they could have
paid for it--,haLhad they dispensed
with only a portion of the luxuris,

I Am An American.


There IL no spot beneath the sun
Free, but the Land OF Washington
In laws each man himself has made,
His own will simply is cbeyed
His servants rule-but wear no crown
Who sets them up can plnck them down.
Should they prove faiihicss TO their trust,
They're Ia the balance common dust
There is no prouder boast OF man
Than 81 AN An AMERICAN T.
No lord nor master will he own,
Save the Almighty on His Throne.
And Him He.worships, as inclined,
By dictaie es of his heart or mind,
Demands bis right, resents the wrong.
Projects the weak, nor breads the strong Z;
No matter whence his fathers came,
He shares the tir,hright with the name
The poorest, humblcst mans a man,
A sovereign, if-Amerioan.
Il Is that little lenvcn,. snid
To sweeteu all our daily broad
Il is that spark Of Heavenly birth,
which shall electrify the earth
That flame divine, which yet shall mould
The truest type Of man Is gold
Before whose test, fictitious rank
Shall melt, and chains shall cease 10 clsnk
And the great brotberh ood Of man
De hand and heart American.
II Is not bounded by degrees,
Nor limited by shores or seas
Nations, their systems shall combine,
AZ stsrs aud consultations shine,
And in harmonious numbers move
Around the Sun Of Truth aud Love
For Union, Liberty appears
The endless music Of the spheres.
Aud mans Millennium Gods the Plan
Is--The Whole World American.
