THE mODESTY OF WISDOM.

The story sent from the sea by Agassiz,
concerning the queer fish that launches its
homemade cradle and its young to sink or
swim together, reminds me of my first in
terview with that enthusiastic solver of ma
lures puzzles. 1t was on board Hudson
river steamer, just twenty years ago, that l
put both my ears at the service of Agassiz.
He did all the talking, and l listened for
two hours to the stories he told about the
wonderful things he had seen. Never was
narrative more picturesque. 1t sparkled
with wit, and was as profound as an abyss
in the Alps. 1t was conversational, and
it was learned. 1t was the epitome of forty
years of diligent study, minute observation
and tireless energy. Agassiz had just COM
pleted his survey of the Florida reefs,
delicate and difficult service, which he had
undertaken for the purpose of discovering
the methods of the coral family. He found
the members of that family at home, busily
engaged in their domestic avocations, and
introducing himself without a moments
hesitation, he became the supervisor of their
house building operations. The little crea-
lures, not so big as atomies, revealed them
selves to him as they never before were
revealed TO mortal man He spoiled
bis garments by wading among the
foundations of the coraline struct-
ures, and he used up microscopes
and note books without number; but in the
end he found what he wanted, came to the
North with his budget of wonders,an HE'D
to Albany early in the following summer to
lay the results before the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science.
Requested to give a newspaper cOrrespOn-
a lo h.kn s0F IL \
vance of publication" Agassiz good-na-
turedly consented-and that was the way
in which l came to hear what he had to
say. Agassiz was then in the prime of
life-a handsome man of forty, with we'll
rounded figure and easy carriage,a an eye that
had laugh in the corner oft, and voice
which was all the more musical because
the words were mixture Of French and
English.
81 have seen re coral in his house." said
Agassiz 81 have watched him at re won
dareful work he does, and zere is nos'ing
more wondareful than re reeft Eat he builds
on re Florida coaSt"-etc., etc.
Presently, q listener ventured a compli-
ment to the professor upon the extent and
variety of his investigation into the secrets
of nature, to which his ready and modest
reply was:
"My dear sir, re longer live, re more 1
find l know nos'ing!!g'
That was the point wanted to bring out
when began to speak of Agassiz.
The charming modesty of the man is be-
yOnd all praise. He has not lost his virtue, |
now that he has turned sixty, and is full of |
hOnOrs and fame. Once, when "toasted" |
at Erastus Corning's house in Albany, be |
blushed like girl at the compliments be-
slowed upon him-and 1 have no doubt |
that when the Hassler returns from her |
cruise, and AgassiB is again dined and |
wined by admiring friends, his cheek will |
once more take the color of the ROSE

THE TINKER DAVE BEATTY BOUN-
TY FRAUDS.


We have already announced the convic-
ton of George Victor Powell, clerk in the
Second Auditors Office at Washington, on
the charge of assisting in the prosecution of
bounty claims against the government. AS
this case is connected with that against Col.
w. B. Stokes, we select from the Washing
ton papers the following testimony, which
viii be Of interest to our readers in Ten
nessee:
PA. Bagoman &c. a. Bowman?) sworn:
live in Tennessee, at JimtoWn; | came
here to Washington; met Mr.. Powell upon
my first visit to Washington, together with
Mr.. Stokes and Mr.. Stronger; while was
here Mr.. Powell received 81 900; paid
him the money myself; he told me that he
had received 81, 900 before that; Stronger,
Hatfield and Stokes held a consultation;
they finally agreed to give him 8 per cent,
which is one-half of 10 per cent. allowed
by the Government, and an additional %
per cent, which latter he has never received.
The cross-examinatiOn of this witness re-
yealed the fact that he had been equally
guilty in the commission of the alleged
fraud against the Government, but had es-
capped indictment by his tender of assist
ance to the Government authorities, by
which his associates might be punished, land
he escape. His statement was that he re-
ceived the sum of $4,000, 81 800 of which
he paid to Powell for the services of the
latter, and the balance he pocketed. StrO-
meyer received $4,000, and Hatfield S22,-
600. The very small balance remaining
being paid to the unfortunate scouts"
Mr.. Stronger testified concerning Yari-
Gus letters written to him by the accused.
When asked to produce them he declined,
and his obligation to produce such letters
was argued by Messrs. Harrington and Rid
die, and Mr.. Harrington fiji ally withdrew
the demand.

READERS will remember that sanguinary
and fanatical newspaper of the Paris Com
mune, LIE Pere DucheSne, and its editor,
Vermersch. who escaped to London during
the downfall of that body. Well, Yer
mersch is still engaged in his editorial la
bors in the English Capital. His paper is
called LIE VermerSch-JOurpGl, and on the
3lst of December last it contained the fol-
lowing paragraph: ave have finally reached
the close of the year 1871-the year of our
rise, Of our triumph, and of our fall. 1t
finished, but beware, citizens Of Paris, of
the year 1872. This will be the year of the
great revenge, and measures will be well
taken this time. We need 10000 heads,
and we shall have them" This blood
thirsty scribbler plainly enough needs one
head, for he has none of any value on bis
own shoulders.

LIVING WE'LL.


He liveth long who liveth well
All other life is short and vain,
Heliveth longest who can tell
OF living most for heavenly gain.
He liveth long who liYeth well;
All else is being flung away;
He liveth longest who can tell
OF true things truly done each day. "a
Waste not thy being; back to Him
Who freely gave it, freely give,
Else is that being but dream,
IT'S but to be and not to liUe.
Be wise, and use thy wisdom well;
Who wisdom speaks must liUe it too;
lie Is the wiSest who can tell
How first he liUed, then spoke, the true.
Be what thou seemest; live thy creed;
Hold up to earth the torch Divine;
Be what thou prayest to be made;
Let the great Masters steps be thine.
Fill up each hour with what will last;
Buy up the moments as they 90;
The life above, when this is past,
Is the ripe fruit of life below.
Sow truth if thou the true wouldst reap;
Who sOws the false shall reap the vain;
Erect and sound thy conscience keep;
From hollow words and deeds refrain.
Sow love and taste its fruitage pure;
Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright;
Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,
Andfnd harvest home of light.
