Toyp's Home.

BY MRS, ZABEL B. BUDDINGTON,
NV little room IS softly lit
Aud tinted BY the moons fair beam:
Mid silence shadows dimly fit,
As in the vagueness of a dream.
The passing hours I give no heed:
What matters it how fast they speed q?
Full long enough the night will be
For solitary thought of thee.
Gently gliding DER the wall,
Moonbeams on my pillow fall,
Slumber's promise in the ray;
But I turn my head away,
Longing for the sweeter rest
On the pillow of thy breast.
In thine arms so kindly folded,
To thy heart so warmly pressed,
BY thy lips in kisses moulded
Mine so tenderly caressed.
-
All. how swiftly doth thy heart
Hurry meath my list'ning ear
: Noble. faithful, generous heart,
Hurries it that [ am near
While to olasping fingers ends
Fast its thrilling current sends
Gentle force to hold me here.
Where the heart is, there is home;
Where the home is, there is rest.
Well thou knowest, ere [ speak,
Where.the home my heart would seek
Thus, upon thy faithful breast,
Here, and only here, [ rest.

FactS About Niagara.

THE FLOW OF WATER OVER NIAGARA.
Another element in the problem of
Niagara's age is the flow of water. To
construct scale from the present and
apply it to the past, we should know
that the amount Of water in past ages
have been essentially the same as now.
About $500 cubic miles of water
nearly half the fresh water on the globe
are in the upper lakes, and Is, 900, 900
cubic feet of this plunge over Niagara
Falls every minute, all the water OF the
lakes making the circuit of the falls,
the st. Lawrence, the ocean vapor.
rain and lakes again, in one hundred
and ffty-two years. Through the Hi
nois canal about s, 1000 cubic feet of wa
ter are taken every minute from Lake
Michigan to the Illinois river; through
the Weiland canal IA, 900 cubic feet
flow every minute from Lake Erie into
Lake Ontario, and through the Erie
canal $4,000 cubic feet passes every
minute from the same lake into the
| Hudson. Thus, 81, 900 cubic feet of
water, which Nature would give to
Niagara, are diverted every minute by
artificial channels. some into the MeXi-
can Gull, and some into the Bay of
| New York. Add this to 5000, 900, it
is as drop in the bucket, and would
make no appreciate difference in the
character of the falls or their rate of
recession. ysu SD ai.E#t .~a . -r-
/ 3D.. AGE OF NIAGARA FALLS.
| By all this we see that the Niagara
1 itself has made the rapids, and that, as
it cuts its way downward, its forsaken
banks have assumed the character Of
| terraces And we see by the low banks
and absence of old banks above the
rapids, that even the highest of these
Iancient banks did not contain greater
river than this which flows through the
narrow gorge to-day. Weassume, then,
from all the monuments the river has
left of its own history, that the present
rate of recession would be fair meas
1lre of the past, except at the Whirl-
pool and Ferry Landing. Six inches a
year, measured on the channel, would
place the Falls atLewiston74, 900 years
ago. We have no means of knO wing
how long the. quartzose sandstone,
which forms the lowest part of the
bank at the Whirlpool, would have ar
rested the cataract. This stratum is
25 feet thick, and, as its southwark
dip is 90 feet mile, the Falls would
have to cut back through this rock
more than half mile. The halt may
have been many thousand years. Add
another period for the halt at the land
ing, and the age of the channel, from
Lewiston to the Horseshoe, may not
fall below 100000 years. Unquestion-
ably the channel has been excavated
since the close of the glacial epoch,
which science has well-nigh demonstrate

Want OF Transportation Facilities i'll
California r

A scarcity of marine tonnage is the
present grievance of California She
has harvested the greatest crop she
ever raised, but is compelled to pay
enormous freight-rates to get it to- tbs
eaters mouths. The ship Sacramento
was chartered on the 14th to take VIII eat
to Liverpool at e4 lis per ton, the
highest price ever paid. The shipping
price of wheat was T$1.571 per 100
pounds, which, after being increased
by the freight-rates, will leave pretty
small margin for profit in Liverpool
This scarcity of freights is not
confined to San Francisco, but
extends to the Atlantic, Asiatic, Euro
pean, Australian, and South American
ports trading with that city. All
over the world there is great call for
freight room to California. We are
not much versed in shipping, but can
see no other Interpretation of this plie-
nomenon than the growth and expan-
sion of our Pacific commerce. Our
dispatches, this morning, show also
that the internal transportation facil-
tiles Of California are not adequate to
the moving of the present crops. -..
