The Vslne Of Good Reputation. i .

happened just before the war, when eyery ono
was very, very busy. Soldiers were enlisting
and going away from almost every home in
the land.
One young man had volunteered and was
expecting daily to be ordered to the seat Of
war. One day his mother gave him an un-
paid bill with money aud asked him to pay it.
When he returned home at night she said -

been known in the town all his life, and what
opinion was held of him this will show. 49,,
II am quite sure, said she, "that my son

busy since. and has quite forgotten about it.;
but he told me one day, that he bad, and says

The Depths Of Mid Ocean.

In her voyage from Tenerifife 10 ST, Thoms-

sounded o. aud dredged every other day. The
soundings showed tbst pretty level bottom
runs off from the African coast, deepening
gandually to depth of 3,125 atboms az
about one.third of the way across to the West
Indies. If the Alps, Mount Blanc and ali
were submerged at this spot, there would
still be half mile of water above them.--
Five hundred miles further west there is D
comparatively shallow. part little less than
two miles. in depth. Tho water then doepeps
again to three miles. which contipues close
over to the West Indies. AT The deepest
spots both on the east; and west side Of tho
Atlantic, the dredge brought up a quantity
of dark red clay, which contained Jus. sufE.
cient animal life to prove that life exists .nt

obtaining these deep-dredgings, and it was
merely question IF patieuce, each haul, ioc7

miles little has been found, but that little
