The Tides.

The tides purify and wash the shores,
cleaning and sweeping our ports; the
currents, which result therefrom, disen-
cumber our roadsteads Of the masses Of
mud which load them, clear the mouths
of rivers, and produce a pure and whole
some freshness. These undulations of
the ocean, these powerful pulsations of
the water, are influenced by stars which
arc separated from our planets by mil
lions of leagues; nor have they less
mathematical regularity than that which
directs those planetary bodies them
selves At fixed hour the formidable
masses of wates raised by an invisible
power, rise and approach the shore.
They rise, they prbcipitate themselves
with resistless power, but only to stop
gently at precise moment, without ever
passing the boundary which Nature has
traced. 1t is surely an honor to the hu-
man race to have succeeded in calculat-
ing the very hour, nay, the exact min
ute, i'll which the oscillations of the sea
begin and end i'll every part of our globe.
Nevertheless, as yet unknown combi-
nations will, at times, produce terrible
disasters that cannot be avoided by any
foresight or precaution. Thus, OCCASION
ally, a powerful wind happens to blow
i'll the same direction with the tide, and
gives it incredible force and fury. No
lofty embankment reared by the hand of
man, no rocky rampant raised by Nature
herself, can then Withstand its power,
and towns are swept away in an instant,
and thousands of persons lose their lives.
Insomo parts of the globe the tide pro-
duces remarkable effects from the pc
culiar formation of the coast which it
strikes. The most striking instance is
that of the island of Mauritius, whore q
long rocky promontory runs far out into
the sea, and has been worn by tho waves
into numerous caves and grottoes OF
marvellous beauty and grotcsqueness
The waters have forced for themselves
an outlet through the roof of one OF
these caves, and when the tidal waves
reach~the coast it fills the cave, and
then, with indiscribablc grandeur, flies
through the opening to q height of sixty
feet, accompanied by . laundering roal
which is heard for miles out at SEA-

CheriShing an Illusion.

The last tale of mans unfaithfulness
to man comes from Selma, Alabama. On
the first Of january, 1871, a syndicate OF
Young men was formed. one of whom,
the most trustworthy of them all, was
appointed treasurer. They then signed
q temperance pledge and agreed to de-
posit on the first day of each month $40
each, to be divided at the end of the
year among those members who remain
ed faithful to their obligation. One by
one they tainted and fell, until at the
expiration of the specified time there
was only one who had not yielded to the
liquid temptation. He repaired at tho
hour of noon on New Years day Mt tire
appointed place of rendezvous to receive
the Sl,440 which lie had so nobly earn
ed. But the other eleven We're not there,
so, full of fiery thirst, he hastened to a
neighboring saloon to take his first nip
for a twelvemonth. He had partially
swallowed it when ten of his colleagues
entered, and revealed to him the horrify-
ing fact that his watch was twenty min
utes too fast. He, too, had fallen, and
the vision Of a well-filled pocket-book
vanished. The eleven then repaired to
the Office of the treasurer, only to learn
that he had lost all the money playing
draw-poker with ono of the church trus-
tees. An effort is now being made to
keep the sorrowful story out of the news
papers.-7r0V Times.

Tho publication by THE EVENING
MAIL OF weekly edition is a cheerflil

several years. 1t has steadily climbed

If it has ever pandored to pornicious

Antidote for Strychnine.

A more terrible poison than the arti-
Gle known as strychninc, which chemists
extract from a nut called mar p0miea,
probably does not exist in the vegetable
kingdom.
An English physician announces that
opium given as soon as possible after the
strychnine has been swallowed, very
generally with suicidal intentions, seems
to neutralize its baneful effects. he
suggests the two drugs quickly unite in
the formation of an anomalous COM
pound which is quite harmless.
Experiments should be instituted by
competent authority to verify or con-
denim the proposition. Life is too pre-
cious to be tampered with by theorists
