The Springfield Mass. RspubIs-
can is responsible for the following !:
Across the West6eld river, where
it rolls down among the rocky hills
Of Berkshire, just before it sweeps
out upon the plain to join the smooth
Connecticut, there is q massive stone
dam. The vexed waters beat against
it: it never trembles. They seek to
burrow beneath /; its bed is upon the
very bones of the everlasting hills.
A few Of the topmost waves look
over the brink aud, pushed by those
behind, fall white and shivering
down the abyss below. But those
that brawled the loudest as they
rushed down the mountains, and
rallied 1t the stony barrier with
many : noisy echo, just bruise thel.

NJ the Popular Science Monthly,

From the Popular Science Monthly,
In the skin of bird where new
feather is to grow, there is little
pit, and at the bottom of this an ell
ovation or pyramid; extending up
one side of this pyramid is groove
or furrow, deepest at the base, and
gradually growing shallower until
It disappears near the top; from
each side of this furrow a great ma
ny smaller grooves extend around
to the other side ofthe pyramid, and
these also decrease in depth, and at
last disappear just as they are about
to meet on the side opposite th.-
large turrow. The whole pyramid
is covered with skin, and the sur
face is made Of the same scales, or
flattened cells, that are found over
the rest of the surface Of the. body:
but. instead of falling off when they
are pushed out by those below them
they become united or welded to
each other, so as to form a horn
coat over the surface of the pyra-
mid, with ridges on its lower or in'
ner surface Corresponding to the
grooves on the pyramid; and, as
new cells form at the base this coat
or cast of the surface is pushed up
ward till it breaks at the thinnest
part, which is, Of course, the smooth
part without ridges opposite the
large furrow; and then as it is push
ed onward and flattened, it assumes
the form ofa feather, the ridge form
cd in the main furrow being the
shaft, while the cast of the side
grooves form the separate barbs OF
the vane. When all the vane has
been formed and pushed forward,
| the pyramid loses its grooves and
becomes smooth, and the wall now
formed on its surface, being of the
same thickness in all its parts; does
not break, but remains tubular. and
forms the quill, which is attached
to what is left of the pyramid. A
tinger.nail or hair is formed from
the same kind of scales in the same
way, the process differing only in
those features which give to each
organ its special character. Feath-
ers, scales, hair, claws and nails are
all made alike from the dead, fat
tened cells crowded to the surface
by the process of growth.

Some of the oldest and quaintest
stories in Prof. Fiske's book Of
"Mytns relate to bargaining with
the devil, in which the devil gets
cheated. He buys souls in per-
fectly mercantile way; the note is
given, payable in CERTAIN number
OF years; and yet they manage to
elude the devil by out.deviling him
in shrewdness. We give an exam
pie:
"In the legend Of Gambrinus the
fiend is still more ingloriously de-
tcated. Gambrinus was a fiddler,
who, being Tilted by his sweetheart,
went out into the woods to hang
himself. AS he was sitting on the
plow, with the cord about his neck,
preparatory to take the fatal plunge,
suddenly a tall man in a green coat
appeared before him and offered his
services. He might become as
wealthy as he liked, and make his
sweetheart burst with vexation at her
own folly, but in thirty years nc
must give up his soul to Beelzebab'
The bargain was struck, for Gam
brinus thought thirty years long
time to enjoy ones self in, and pre-
haps the devil might get him in any
event, as well be hung for q sheep
as for a lamb. Aided by Satan he
invented Ginning bells and lager
beer, for both of which achievements
his name is held in grateful remem'
brance by the Teutons. No sooner
had the Holly Roman Emperor
A quaffed gallon or two ofthe bower
age then he made Gambrinus Duk'
Of Brabant and Count Of Flanders
| and then it was the fiddler's turn t.
laugh at the discontinue of his ole
sweetheart. Gambrinus kept clea'
| Of women, says the legend, and sc
lived in peace. For thirty years h
sat beneath the belfry with tn
chimes, meditatively drinking beer
| with his mobiles and burghers arount
| him. Then Beelzebub sent Jocko
one ofhis imps, with orders to brinl
back Gambrinus before midnight
But Jocko was like Swiveller'
Marchioness, ignorant of the tast'
of beer, never having drank it eve'
in ship, and the Flemish schoP
| ven were too much for him. He fel
into q drunken sleep, and did no
wake up until noon the next day
at which he was 80 mortified that b
! had not the face to 60 back to hel
at all. So Gambrinus lived o
TRANQUILITY for : century or two An
drank 90 much beer that he turne
into : beer barrel"

then came q most terrible storm
that would sunk ell on board had it
not been for the captain. Every
spar was laid low, the rudder was
almost useless, and great leak had
shown itself, threatening to fill the
ship. The crew were al strong
willing men, and the mates were
practical seamen Of the first-class !;
but after pumping for one whole
night, and the water still gaining
upon them, they gave up in despair
and prepared to take the boats, they
they might have known no small
boat could ride such a sea. Tho
captain, who had been below with
his charts, now came up; he saw
how matters stood, and with voice
that I heard distinctly above the
roar Of the tempest, aud ordered
every man to his post.
1t was surprising to see those
men bow before the strong will Of
their cAptains and hurry back to the
pumps. The captain then started
below to examine the leak. As he
passed me l asked him if there was
any hope. He looked at me and
then at the other passengers, who
had crowded up to hear the reply,
and said rebukingly:
"Yes, sir, there is hope as long
as one inch of this deck remains
above water: when l see none Of it
then l shall abandon the vessel, and
not before, nor one of my crew, sir.
Everything shall be done to save it
and if we fail, it shall not be from
inaction. Bear a hand every one
of you at the pumps"
Thrice during that day did we
despair; but the Captains dauntless
courage, perseverance and powerful
will, mastered every man on board,
and we went to work again.
81 will land you safely at the
dock in Liverpool" said he, eff you
will only be men,"
And he did land us safely; but
the vessel sank, moored to the dock.
The Captain stood on the deck of
the sinking vessel, receiving the
thanks and blessing of the passen-
gers as they passed down the gang
plank. l was the last to leave. AS
l passed he grasped my hand and
said:
"Judge p, do you recognize
me ?"
l told him that was not aware
that / ever saw him until stepped
aboard his ship.
"Do you remember the boy in
Cincinnati ?"
every well, sir; William Haver-
ley"
81 am here" said he. "God
bless you ~
"And God bless noble Captain
Haverley."

THE SOFT GUITAR.

DRAMATIC FRAGMENT.
SoHNE: Moonlight. Beneath the lady's win
dow appeareth the lover and singsth, with guitar
accompaniment.
Open thy lattice, O lady bright!
The earth lies calm In the fair moonlight;
Ana list o nos. ns so eua
At the lady's window vision shone-
Twas the lady's head with night-cap on.
LOVER.
(In ecstasy.)
Seei at the easement appearing now,
With lily fingers she hides her brow.
oh, weep not-though bitter thy sorrows are,
will eooth them to rest with my soft guitar.
Then the lady answered: who's going to weep
Go way with your fiddle, and let me Sleep"
(Saddtned, but stiN hOpeJul.)
Then sleep, dear lady: thy ffinged lids close,
Pinions OF cherubs ian thy repose,
While through thy easement, slightly ajar,
Steal the sweet notes Of my soft guitar.
Then tho lady her .'secrct pain, confessed
With tho plaintive murmur: .sOh. give ~ yest.'
ptvsn.
(SiightIy disc0urogsd.)
Chidc me not harshly, o lady fairi
Bend from thy lattice and hear my prayer.
Signing for thee wander afar,
Aournfully touching my soft guitar.
And the lady answered: lyon stupid thing,
II you've got the catarrh, stop trying to sing!"
LOVER.
(Filied uith natural and rigAteOus. indignation.
Cruel but fair one, thy scorn restraint
Better deaths quiet than thy disdain.
/ 60 TO fall in some distant war,
Bearing in battle my loved guitar.
Answered the lady: swell. hurry and got
I'm holding the slOp-basin ready to throw"
Making immediate preparations to deparN
False one, I leave thee! When I'm at rest
Still shall my memory haunt thy breast;
A spectral vision thy JOY shall mar
skeleton touching soft guitar!
From the lady's window her dulcet tones
On the night wind f0ated: go 1t Old Bones!"
Then the lover, in agony, roamcd afar-
Fell limp in the gutter and smashed his guitar.

Bir Trees-The' Yosemite Eclipsed.

The Brisbane (Australia) Courier
of Dec. 80, 1873, publishes the fol-
lowing official telegram from Mr..
Walker Hill, the Government botan-
list, dated from Cardwell on the eth,
and received by the Queensland
Secretary tor Lands: ";Since the
goth of November we have examined
the banks of the Mulgrave, Russell,
Mossman, Daintree, and Hull rivers,
and have been more or less success
full in finding suitable land for sugar
and other tropical and semi-troplcal
productions. The ascent OF the
summit of Bellenden Kerr was sue
cessfully made by Johnstone, Hill,
and eight troopers. At $500 feet
in height we observed on undescrio'
ed tree with crimson flowers, which
excels the Poinciana regia, Colvillia
raeemosa, Lagersstroma regia, and
tie Jacaranda mimosfolia. At A.
4os feet tree fern, which will ex.
Gel in grandeur all others OF the Al
boneous class. A palm tree at the
same height which viii! rival any Of
the British India species in grace
fulness. On the banks Of the Dain'
tree ave saw palm tree cocoa, which
far exceeds the unique specimen in
the garden Of the same genera from
Brazil in grandeur and gracefnlness
While cutting a given line on ths
banks of the river Johston, for thu
purpose of examining the land, al
enormous fig tree stood ~ the way
far exceeding in stoutness and gran
deur the renowned forest giants o
California and Victoria. Three fee
from the ground it measured $50 fee
in circumference; at S., where l
sent forth giant branches, the stem
was nearly 80 feetin circumference
