FROM "THE WELCOME TO AGAssIZ."
How the animal creation
Had welcome jubilation,
And the ea-stars and Echinus
Said, ''We hope that he will find us";
And the whelks and periwinkles
Laughed their faces full Of wrinkles,
And tt crabs and Holsters, too,
Drummed on their shells brisk tattoo,
And the Octopus punctatus
Joined the jolly jubilators,
While the festive trap-door spider
Flung his gate little wider,
And the tree-toads in the willows,
And the fishes in the pillows,
And the birds among the branches
VI the trees upon the ranches,
All in unison were humming,
A welcome for the master coming!

They are both tender and notpassionate, and
they both appeal strongly to the feminine side
ofa mans nature. Handel, on the contrary, is
almost exclusively masculine, just as Milton is.

Freak of the Lightning.

AN OAK TREE SNAPPED oFF-DID THE CHARGE
COME OUT OF THE GROUND?
On Sunday evening, during the thunder
shower, the lightning performed very extrsor-
dinaIy freak, on the farm OF Lewis Thompson,
in Mill Creek Hundred. An oak tree stood on
the edge OF a wood, beside a corn field. At its
base it's was % inches in diameter-a large tree.
The lightning struck it, and cut the trunk square
of, at height of twenty feet, where the diam
eter was fully two feet, throwing the upper
trunk-say 40 or so feet in height-with all it's
spreading limbs and branches, to the ground
near by. The standing stump was then split
down, lengthwlse nearly in half one part re-
naming in its place, and the other also standing
upright fixed in the ground, its split side toward
that from which it had been cleft, but ten feet
array from The latter.
This was vefy odd, and it seems az though the
piece might have been torn loose, shot up into
the air, and then had fallen with enough force
to fix itself in the ground. More strange, how
ever, is the fact that the upper trunk and its
branches, are not harmed in the least, above
where it was cut of, showing that the lightning
did not strike the top OF the tree, but apparently
touched it at the height Of twenty feet, or as is
suggested came out Of the ground to meet an
electric current in the air.
