81 900, 600, ,OOO. OoO, 600 OF GOLD IN
THE OCEAN.

Scientific men have shown that there
is 500, 900, ,000, 900 worth of silver in the
ocean. 1t has lately been discovered
that there is thousand times as much
gold there, and as gold is about sixteen
times the price of silver, the value of the
thus dissolved gold is 10000 times that
of the silver.
In order to test the existence of the
gold, SOnstadt recommends to dissolve
a few grains of pure ferrous sulphate in
the sea-water, acidulate with a few
drops of hydrochloric acid, and eyapor-
ate in a clean porcelain dish without
ebuilition. A lustrous film of dry ferric
oxid will be formed on the bottom then
the water is poured out, and the film
dissolved by chlorine water with few
drops of hydrochloric acid; the liquid is
then poured in a test tube, when the us

In order to come to some approximate
conclusion as the amount of gold pres.

to it gives about the same intensity ol

If we now consider that the surface o

average depth at miles, we have 100,
0O0, 900 cubic miles of water. Further

numbers 130, ,0O0, ,000, ,000. 900 cubic feet
and reckoning 80 cubic feet to the ton
the cubic mile of water weighs 1000.

of gold, which, at SIG per ounce, give
$16 900, 900 worth of gold in every cubi

= Her school life was more than ever
troubled for some days after this. The
girls was all so busy striving with each
other for the highest marks, that they
had less kindly notice than before, to
spare for the quiet little girl, who never
fancied that she, too, might have been
included in the kind offer their teacher
'had made. She had an idea, perhaps,
that this kind old gentleman must look
upon her in much the same light as the
girls had done.
Friday afternoon came round ut last
and the excitement of the girls had
resched its highest point; for before
going home they were to know which
of them should be honored by Mr..
Dean's approval, and sail in the new
boat OH Saturday afternoon. You can
fancy how eager they became when he
called them into his study after school
had closed. Even little Alice was not
left out. AS he looked them all over
through his gold bound specracles,
good many little hearts gave great
throbs of expectation, and two or three
of the girls were very sure of going at
all events.
'tMy Children" said their teacher
kindly but gravcly, "I have great re-
spect for poor spirited people;' that

Alice and Fanny became good friends

To:KEEP THE BOYs AT HOME,

Everything that tends to make us de-
rive pleasure from sources ought to be
encouraged to the utmost. Many men
wonder why it is that their boys betray
such depraved tastes. They won't stay
at home; they go away, and SCENE to
find their only pleasure and qualification
in what is objectionable. Why is it?
What is to be done? Threats and scold-
ing and severe discipline do no good, and
seem, in fact, to make them worse. In
stead OF having a positive distaste for
home, they get a positive hatred of it.
!. Did it even occur to those who COM
plain ofthis- that they never did much
to encourage better tastes !? Boys must
have something to enjoy. They can't
sit still and stare at each other. in un-
dertones' when the excitement of cards
and dice and other games are alluring
them. Depend upon it IL when they are
young, care is taken to supply them
with wholesome sources Of qualification
they will always find enjoyment in them.
and little desire to stray. Give them
amusing books, music, and flowers
Above all, make things cheerful and
hearty, and they will never care fol
grosser pleasure. Empty minds will fill
themselves with chaff, but they prefer

cities of Calcutta, .Madris and Bombay,
as they stand to-day upon the shores Of
the Eastern seas; and these were the
creations of the great company whose
light is fliekering and viii soon go out
in the darkness of general contempt.
Macanley, in his two most brilliant es-
says, catches the inspiration of splen-
did elOquence from the careers of Give,
the typical warrior, and of Hastings, the
typical governor of the East India Com
panY.
The rOmancerss of century have
found in Golconda and Cashmere, in
Lucknow and Benares, in Seringa gapatam
and Hooghly, in the hundred romantic
spots with which Hindoostan is dotted,
the scenes of thrilling tales, of hair
breadth escapes, and of imposing cere-
monies; and even now, the empress of
India, which is Victoria's most royal
title. displays magnificence before
which that of his mistress pales to COM
mon-place simplicity. But though the
Company which built up the vast and
splendid Indian Empire is moribund,
that Empire, now transferred directly
to the government of the British Crown,
still fiourishes with all its whilom pow
er and extent, and still furnishes incal-
culable wealth and monepelized Oppoi :
tunities to British trade. A proud and
despotic corporation passes away, and is
superseded bv Cabinet Minister sitting
in Westminster. The East India Com
pany vanishes, and the Duke of Argyll,
Secretary of State for India, appears i'm
its place. 1t Is change of persons, not
of substance; it is revolution, but
one which practically leaves the mil
ions and the wealth of HindOostan un-
der the same national control AS Hen
ry VIII, jealous of Wolsey IS overgrown
influences and riches banished him
from the Council and seized Hampton
Court, so the British Crown, finding
that the East India Company had grown
too great, has confiscated its estates and
condemned it to extinction. But the

cedented triumph and power, did well

and Sheridan, the corruptions of Hast

was remorseless, but the result of its
tyrannies and greed was to aggrandize
England, and establish her as the first
of maritime powers. And now, just as
the old company is giving up the ghost,
and the government is entering upon an
enforced heritage, a little cIoudappeais
IN the East, vaguely threatening the
English domination of India. The Rus
slams are slowly but steadily extending
their frontier toward the Hindoo Koosh
and ere many years England may have
to fight for the inestimable possessions
which were the East India Company's
iegacy to the nation.

LIVE EOH SOMETHING.

Thousands of men breathe, move, and
live, pass off the stage of life, and are
heard Of no more. Why? They do not
partake of good in the world, and none
were blessed by them; none could
point to them as the means of their re-
demption; not a line they wrote, not a
word they spoke could be recalled, and
so they perished; their light went out
in darkness, and they were not remem-
bered more than insects of yesterday.
Will you thus live and die, o man i'm
mortal! Live for something! Do good
and leave behind you a monument OF
virtue, that the storms OF time can never
destroy. Write your name by Kindness
love, and mercy OH the hearts of thous.
ands with whom you come in contact,
year by year, and you will never be for'
gOtten.' No: your name, your deeds,
will be rs legible on the hearts you leave
behind, as the stars on the brow Of the
evening. Good deeds will shine as
brightly on the earth Ms the stars o
| heaven.

The habit of putting off and deferring

one of the means by which the world is

HOLIDAY
BY KATE PUTNAM osGooD.


THE earth is nothing but flowers and grass
IL The sky is light, and the wave is glass
l will make part oil the shaiiowless whole,
And be a body without soul,
leave the troublesome creature bound
By hopes and fears that hedge it round;
So may look, for Il single day.
To live unhindered Gle life of May;
To spring into bloom from the clover root;
To feel the sap in the Young leaf shoot;
To hive my honey, TO spread MY wing:
To work or idle with any thing;
To slide with the a on the waters face.
And swim with the fish that follow chase;
To feel myself once more at one
With all she life that is under the sun!
But what is signing about the spot?
What sound of wind where wind is nOts-
Poor wretch! pursued by all thy cares,
Hath stolen upon me unawares:
Go, get the back, kind soul, pray
Sad or merry another day,
i ask for only these few short hours
To grow in The light like grass and flowers.
But still the poor soul, all undone,
SighS and Shivers beneath the sun!
/ can not bear that pitiful pain
The homeless creature must come again.
Alas! the time when could lie
As free from thoughts As the open sky
Is never for me. hencefOrth, trow;
Soul, we must comfort each other now.

The world, though briinfuil or the glorious

Can be dark if we ch pose so to make it
We must open our hearts. let the sunshine pour
in,
And light up the dark, dreary places;
w ith sunshine without, and sunshine within
Feyermore shall we see gloomy faces.
We shoulu seek out the lives that are ciouded
and sad,
Where sunshine perchance ath ne'er entered,
And give to them freely from our brimmng cup,
Where sunshine and peace have long cenfered.
o. all the world over there's light for us all,
Then into our lives let us take it;
The world though brimfull OF the glorious light,
Can he dark, il we choose so to make it.
