terwsrds food for its living freight.
This marvellous story acquires adj
ditional interest if we now take into
consideration what are the eharac-
teristic peculiarities of the chironec-
tes. As its name indicates, it has
fins like hands; that is to say, the
pectoral fins are supported by kind
OF prolonged wristIike appendages,
and the rays of the ventrals are not
unlike rude fingers. With these
limbs these fishes have long been
Known to attach themselves to sea-
weeds, and rather TO walk than to
swim in their natural element. But
now that we have become acquainted
with their mode OF reproduction, it
may be fairly asked If the most
important use to which their pecu-
liarly constructed fins are PUT is not
probably in building their nest?
The discovery of this nest was
quite occidental but not so the en-
animation of the large masses of the
floating weeds which we met with an
soon rs entered on the waters of the
Gulf Stream. L had made IL nv
chief business to examine the float
ing sargassunl with the intention Of
solving if possible the question of
its origin. | had delivered lecture
to all on board in which was stated
all knew on the subject and what [
wanted to ascertain further, thus
hoping TO enlist tie interest of the
officers of the ship and of my scien-
tifiic tellow-travelers in the object of
my search. l had told them that l
did not believe that the gulf-weed
could multiply while floating, even
though the floating branches might
enlsrge. / had suggested the gath
ering of the smallest branches of
the weed with view to ascertaining
whether or not all, even the very
smallest. bore signs of having been
torn violently away from fixed at
tachment. From that day not patch
OF gulf weed passed our ship within
reach that was not carefully looked
at and hauled up if it presented any
peculiar appearance, and no doubt I
have my reward for that lecture
in the discovery of the nest of Chi
ronectes.
There remains one closing chapter
to add to this story. May some nat
uralist becalmed among the gulf
weed have the good fortune of wit
Messing the process by which the nest
is built. From an embryologicaI
point of view these little fishes are
quite interesting. In the first place
the embryonal vertical fin, which ex-
tends along the whole back in the
fish embryos thus far known, besins
very far behind. in the young Chi
ronectes, and does not exist upon the
neck and back. In the second place
the nosition of the heart is yerv Pc
culiar. Instead of lying at the juno
tion Of the yolk bag with the head,
it occupies q position in the front
part of the yolk.

Russian Churches.

A f. lend of mine on arriving in
Paris from Italy exclaimed, Thank
God! tl!"Fe are no more churches to
be visitel now, / felt inclined to
echo the ascription when L learned
that in Russia / could satisfy my con-
science with two or three "a types Of
the whole. The root-idea of a eathed-
raj is, suppose, the same there as
with US, but the SlavOnic mind de-
velOps it differently. We think Of
great lofty spaces which nothing in
vades but the prayers OF the saints
and the incense typifying them, a
degree Of silence and mystery, always
something left for the exalted, rapt
spirit to supply, and still supply, un-
til in the infinitely varied and ex-
haustless wing Of chat suggestion it
reaches that which passeth knowl-
edge. But in Russian cathedral
nothing is thus left; all is crowded
and glaring, meeting the sense exact
ly, a medley Of saints pictures, altars,
and shrines. a tumult OF rainbOWs
and gold. st. Isak's Church, the
cathedral Of st. Petersburg, is as rich
as unlimited expense can make it;
the finish OF all is exquisite. 1t was
opened only three years ago. 1t is
in the form OF q Greek cross, three
hundred feet in diameter. The noun
tain of gold which forms its cupOla
rises in the midst of bronze angels
reared on thirty polished pillars, gilt
tering like mirrors. On its apex is q
golden rotunda, the church in minia-
ture, looking like a chapel on noun
tain-top, and above cross on a Greg q
cent crowns all. Miles over the
dreary plain which surrounds st.
Petersburg the peasant watches the
sacred flashing OF that dome, and
bows and crosses himself reverently.
The very part which in our churches
is cold and dim il to him, outside his
moss-stuffed cabin, glory and a
strength. Nearer, the reflection from
the various ribs makes perfect
crown of glory laid Obliquely on the
dome.
In the other churches are flags and
trophies-a host of them-Turkish,
Persian, French. The Persian flag
is very peculiar-a long silk triangle
trimmed with lace, a panther in the
centre, and a silver hand, life-size,
fastened to the end. On one of the
Turkish Is the mark Of the five bloody
fingers of the standsrd-bearer, who
died defending it. Keys of captured
fOrtresses hang abOut-the Persian
the queerest aginable-beautifully
chased with silver batOns Of Turkish
commanders, like small medieval
battle-axes. In one church, belong
ing to regiment formed by Peter the
Great the columns of the Ontside rail-
ing are made of French and Turkish
cannon arranged in threes, with an
eagle on the summit and chains fes-
toOned between. All this tells a tale
of an active life we know little Of

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

Ponce de Leon, an early Spanish navigator,
who discovered Florida. received from the In
dian aborigines the tradition that there was
somewhere in the vast continent terrestrial
paradise containing the waters Of eternal
youth
They said that its waters flowed fresh and FREQ !;
In fairy land, o 'er the deep blue sea;
That rubies cleaned from the fountains side,
And diamends IA flashed b in ths c.ysttsi & tide.
Der r.rest jewels and 81 DDS of gold;
And that the wanderer who should drink
Oftne waters that shone by its mossy brink,
Should renew his youth forevermore -
From the fount that flowed on that fairy shore,
And thither the travellers bent their way.
And they sought for the wondrous fount each
day;
Bat they found it not in the green arcades.
Long did they seek for its crystal urn,
Amid emerald shadows OF moss and fern;
Where bloomed rare flowers of radiant dye.
Under the beautiful Southern sky.
Nought but the indians foot had pressed
The sod where laid their heads to rest,
To dream at night that their search Was vain,
To wake in the morning, and hope again.
II.
Listen, my darling, with eager ear,
The wonderful ancient tale to hear.
OF the wanderers O 'er the sea who sought,
For the fountain of youth. and found it not?
Vain was the quest-they never vleWed
Its clear waves CLEAN in the solitude;
Never upon their raptured sight
Beamed the spring of youth with its waters
bright.
Beautiful dream of the days of old
If over some silver sand there rolled
A stream whose waters could wash away
The signs and tose of ouths decay;
Render our faces like thine, as fair,
Smooth from our foreheads the lines OF care;
Clear the mists from the wearied brain,
Send new life through each tounIlng vein,
While we he r the song in the morning sung,
The pean of bliss when the world was young:
Give us faith, undim med by fears,
The innocent trust of early years.
The heart with happiness be It ng high,
The springing step and the adiant eye.
We, o, would sail over a trackless main,
As the travellers fr m their sunny Spain,
Eager to drink, to cast away
Age, like garment old and gray,
And wear, when the blissful draught was DER,
fhe brightness of youth for evermore-
Thou hast strayed from its source with thy
childish feet,
Thou hast drank of the fountain of youti, my
sweet;
Thy cheek so fair, with its rosy tinge,
The light of thine eyes. meath their yelling
fringe,
Thy face, unclouded by care or fear,
The merry sush of thy laughter clear,
Tell of the font on that wondrous shore,
Thou hast drank of once, bat will never more
Till life shall pass, and is given to shoe
Immortal youth in Eternity.

heard on every side, but at the mo-
ment of his coming up to that cold
portal Of clay fayorite old servant of
Mrs. Jackson burst through the group
around the pit, and tried to get into
the grave with the coffin. She was
about sixty years of age, robust and
strong, and, falling near the brink, got
both feet over the edge of the grave,
when the sexton and others took hold
of her and prevented her descending,
and were trying to raise her up and
remove her. Her cries were agoniz-
ing: Mistress, my best friend, my
love, my life, is gone-I viii so with
herp' -.I ...
This was but a moment; but, close
to General Jackson, we watched him
intently. Every muscle of his face
was unmoved; steady as rock, with
out teardrop in his eye or quiver
In his voice, he quickly raised hisvoice
and said, ''Let that faithful servant,
weep for her best friend and loved mis-
tress she has the right and cause to
weep, and her grief is sweet to me-"
The persons who had hold of her i'm
ediately released her and left her sit
ting over the fresh clods, weeping,
and there she remained, hindering the
burial, uutil after while some of her
friends pursuaded her to leave the
grave and let the ceremony go on.
The body was let down, "dust to
dust" was said, the grave was filled up
and shaped into the common mound
which covers poor mortality, and Gen.
Jackson was led away by Gen. Carroll
back to othenortheastroom. Thecrowd
followed and we got in close to the
chief mourner. Arriving fairly into
the room and pausing few moments,
he looked around him, and raising his
voice, said
"Friends and neighbors, I thank you
for the honor you have done to the
sainted one who remains now repose in
yonder grave. She is now in the bliss
of Heaven, and l know that she can
suffer here no more on earth. This Is
enough for my consolation; my loss is
her gain. But 1 am left without her
to encounter the trials Of life alone. L
am now the President-elect of the
United States, and in a short time
must take my way to the metropolis
of my corfntry, and if it had been Gods
viii 1 would have been grateful for the
of taking her to my post of
honor and seating her by my side, but
Providence knew what was best for
her. For myself 1 bow to Gods will,
and go alone to the place of new and
arduons duties, and L shall not go
without friends to reward, and L pray
God that may not be allowed to have
enemies to punish. 1 can forgive all
who have wronged me, but Will have
fervently to pray that L may have grace
to enable me to forget or forgive any
enemy who has ever mahgned that
blessed one who is now safe from all
suffering and sorrow, whom they tried
to put to shame for my sake!"
This was uttered calmly, firmly,
and in such deep silence
of the crowd that it was audible to ev-
cry one in the room. We can never
forget it. Could he? The answer to
the question illustrates his leading
trait of she policy of pugnacity.
