Speak kindly, gently to thy wife,
She knows enough OF sorrow;

An angry word to borrow.
For in her heart there's Treasured love

rect in his views, the open Polar sea.
unless discovered soon, will exist no
more. Land is said to be rising every
where between the Pole and the 9th
parallel. and the greatest movement is at
the Pole itself. Some interesting facts
are quoted in support of this theory.
PliDy says that Scandinavia is an archi-
pelago. and speaks Of bold seamen who
had circumnavigated the group of isl
ands. Ptolemy confirms him. Celaius
said in the seventeenth century that
Norway was rising at the rate Of forty
inches year. Sir Charles Lyell en-
dorses the theory. The water.level in
the Gulf Of Bothnia falls one foot every
fifteen years. Near Gefle there arc low
pastures where old men remember see-
ing boats aaoat. Near Stockholm, se-
venty feet above the sea, the remains Of
shell.fsh, identical with the present
ninety feet above high water, there is a
bed OF sand which contains some wrecked
boats and an old anchor. In the interior
of Spitzbergen, skeletons of whales have
been unearthed forty feet above sea-
level. Tho fishermen say that tho land
has risen go much that the shallowness
OF the water has driven away the right
whale. which, once abundant. is now
rarely seen. On the Pacific, the shores
around Behring's Straits are low and
fiat, but q mile or two back there are
ranges OF bluffs parallel with the coast,
and containing innumerable shells of
Literal species. If the theory is true, il
offers curious case of compensation.

Britain, and France. and Holland, and
New England. way to the North the con-
tinents are encroaching on the seq. The
only pity is, that the process cannot be
reversed, and Neptune enriched at the
expense of the frozen North, and to the
gain of the more habitable South.
