A Wonderful New GeOl0cisf.

London Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Com
mercial.
A young geologist has appeared of
such wonderful knowledge in certain
difficult regions of his science as TO
have caused great astonishment. This
young mans name is Mail, and he is a
nephew of the famous non-conformist
member of Parliament He has for
some time been the curator of a sort of
scientific museum in Leeds, and | be-
lleye he has not hitherto contributed
anything to the association. But it
would seem that he has explored, with
singular completeness, all the mani
festatlons upon this planet of certain
animal known to paleontology as the
Labyrynthodon." 1t is this animal
which las Cherropodion) is supposed
to have lett its sign manual and pedal
IN time OF the great STRATA suppose
ton which Mr.. Mall has exploded.
He has searched out this extinct mon
ster, and searched into all its living
relatives and descendants, and by so
doing solved SO many knotty points
that old biologists like Sir Philip Eyer
ton and Sir j. Phillips are in ecstacies.
Mail had no notes. He spoke off all
the histories and dates and figures re-
latlng to the Labyrynthodon" as if it
had been his prattle from early inian-
cy. And when he sat down Phillips,
the President, arose and said: This
scientific statement places its author at
one step in the foremost ranks of geo
logical Investigators The biologists
instantly resolved to request Mr.. Mail
to allow their society to publish at its
own expense-and illustrate by suita-
bic engravines-a monograph which
they allege will revolutionize their sci
ence at an important point.

French pOli,eneSS.

There are many instances of French
pOliteness current; the story, for ex-
ample, of the old Duke de Doudeau-
vile, the last of the old school which
faded away in Charles the Tenth's
time with legitimate royalty. He was
slowly coming down stairs one after
noon from a visit, when he met
youngster Of twenty bounding up,
three steps at tim to the drawing
room which he had just quilted. Both
stopped short. The Duke, by right of
age, stood against the wall the boy,
four stairs below him, stood against
the banisters. Both bowed low, both
were bareheaded, neither would pass
the other. This deadlock continued
until the young man stepped up, say
ing, 81 obey, my lord Duke; ODE
dlence is the first law of youth This
story, however, is remarkably like one
of Lord Stair and Louis XIV. The
King signed to the ambassador to get
into the carriage before his Majesty:
Lord Stair bowed and obeyed without
any fuss, whereupon Louis observed to
his courtiers that a less polite man
would have made a ceremony of de
Ginning.

IIln Old bridge.


The following, by Miss Emily r. Page, VIII,
led IN Chelsea IN 1868, IS the companion pecl
, THE Old Canoe:
Bowere1 at either arching entrance
By a wilderness Of leaves,
Clustering DER the slant old gables
And the brown and messy caves,
Is the dear old bridge which often,
Often in the oiden time,
Echoed to our ringing FOOTBALLS
And our yolccssrlnging chime.
Wnere, from ont the narrow windows,
We have watched the day go down,
Till Ito air was full Of twilight,
Soft, and shadoWy, and brown;
Till the river, gliding past us,
Gloom upon its bosom bore,
And the shadows, deep and deeper
Crcpt along the winding shore;
Till the pale young moon grew brighter
And the silver.footed night
Scattered stars along the pathway
OF the oyc's departing flight.
Oh the dear old bridge has echoed
To the tread Of many feet,
Whose sweet music long has numbered
Mufled in the winding Sheet
Many voices, too, have sounded
Clear, and soft, and full % song,
Like the ripple Of blrd-note
All the ringing roof along.
But tho silent angel hushed them,
Many weary years agone;
Yet an echo 'mong its arches
Secmoth still to linger on.
Aud, as now, within its shadow,
am sitting all alone
Flows the river down beneath me,
AtTb Il .If.s-
As II grieving for the lost ones
They who listened long ago,
Leaning rom the marrow window,
To the light waves luling flow.
And the elm.trees swaylng softly,
Let their shadowy dmness fall
Far in on the frowning columns,
And along the darkenod wall
Like the shadows which have drlted
From the death-damps of the tomb
Wrapping up my glad young spirit
In the mantle OF their gloom.
And the golden-hngered sunbcams
Sitting through the broken roof,
Weave upon the dusty flooring
Here aud there their shimmering woof
Seeming like the golden vista
Where my hopes reposed secure,
When the dew Of liie's young morning
On my heart lay fresh and pure.
Now, though years have swept me onward
Down the hurried tide of life,
Leaving childhood far behind me,
Like pleasant matin chime
Yet from youths deserted gardens
am gathering mp the flowers
Whose sweet fragrance tioateth to ne,
Cheering all the languid hours.
For again the shining pageant
OF the long-fOrgotten past
Floats before me with no shadow
Ger its sunny surface cast.
| forget the many grave. mounds
Which lie dark and cold sptweeu
For the silver liuing only
OF the frOwning cloud is seen
With the sunlight round about me,
Bright and glad as long ago,
And the river down beneath me,
With i,sssoft continuous flow
With the old familiar places
All about me everywhere
Come again the pleasant faces
hat made earth so bright and fair
And, as then, each passing cloudlet
Seems 10 wear a golden edge,
~ muse within the shadows
Falling from the dear old bridge
