CHANGE OF CoLoR.-Sudden shocks
occurring to human beings have fire.
quently changed the color of tho hair
from black to white in a single night. A
physician of Berlin, strong, healthy,
and less than middle aged man, sent
his wife and daughter to spend the sum-
mer at watering place. The day that
he expected letter informing him of
their arrival, there came one saying that
his daughter had been taken i'll suddenly,
and was already dead. The shock was
terrible, and instantly his hair became
entirely gray. lie had to visit some pa
tients that afternoon, and they scarcely
recognized him.
Another case was that of man thir-
ty-fve years old, living in the Neither
lands. lie was one day passing a canal
in Rotterdam, when he saw a child strug-
Cling in the water. He plunged in and
brought it to land but it was already
dead by the time he had rescued the
body. Bending over it to try and restore
life, he discovered that the dead child
was his own son. The blow was so sud-
den and unexpected, and coming upon
him when he himself was so much ex-
hausted, turned his hair entirely gray,
and left him scarcely recognizable.

A REASONING FoX-A certain Jagare
who was one morning keeping watch in
the forest, observed fox cautiously make
his approach to the stnmp of an old tree.
When sufficiently near he took a high
and determined jump onto the top of it,
and after looking around a while, hoped
to the ground again. After Reynard had
repeated this knightly exercise several
times, he went his way, but presently he
returned to the spot, bearing a pretty
large and heavy piece Of dry oak in his
mouth, and thus burdened, as it would
seem for the purpose of testing his vault
ing powers, he renewed his leaps onto the
stump. After time, however, and when
he found that weighted as he was, he
could make the ascent with facility, he
desisted from further efforts, dropped the
piece of wood, and coiling himself up on
the top Of the stump, remained motionless
as if dead. At the approach Of evening an
old sow and her progeny, five or six in
number, issued from eighborng thick
ct, and pursuing their usual track, passed
near to the stump in question. Two OF
her sucklings followed somewhat behind
the rest, and just as they neared his am
bush, Michel, with the rapidity Of thought
darted down from his perch upon one of
them, and in the twinkling Of an eye,
bore it in triumph on to the hstness he
had so proydently prepared beforehand.
Confounded at the shriells of her off
spring, the old sow returned in fury to
the spot, and until late in the night, made
repeated, desperate efforts to storm the
murderer's stronghold; but the fox took
the matter very coolly, and devoured the
pig over the nose of its mother, which,
at length, with the greatest reluctance,
and without being able to revenge herself
on her crafty adversary, was forced to
beat retreat.

SATURDAY, JULY IL, 1874.

The RoTUNDITY OF THE EARTH.-One
of those people with whom "seeing is be-
lieving," and the deductions Of logic and
mathematics 60 for NOTTINGHAM English
man bearing the immortal ntle of
mpden-recently risked five hundred
pounds on the assertion that the earth
could not be proved to him by ocular
demonstration to be round-or more pre-
cisely, that the surface Of sheet of quiet
water was fat, not curved. The bet was
accepted by Mr.. A. r. Wallace, (presum-
ably the eminent naturalist of that namel
and the experiment was tried on the
Bedford Level" where a line Of six
miles could be obtain ned. Three disks
were placed, one at each end of this line
and one at the center, each disk exactly
forty-two feet above the surface of the
water Immediately under it. The three
were then observed through a selected
and approved telescope, and the central
one was found to be about five feet above
the line joining the two others. That rise
of five feet forced Mr.. Hampden to come
down with five hundred pounds. 1t is to
be hoped that he paid his water money
more readily than the great Hampden
his ship money. Any surveyor could
have told him that in running levels over
any considerable distance it is necessary
to make correction for the curvature of
the earth, as well as for refraction. These
corrections become very important when
it is desired to survey line for the con-
struction of a ditch or canal. A man
sighting through telescope at an object
ten miles distant, and apparently on the
same level, would be really looking at
point nearly ffty-seven feet higher in true
altitude than his eye; and if he made no
allowance for this fact, it might happen
to him, as it has happened to rude sur
veyors and constructors before now, that
when his ditch was done, the water would
not run in it. At this distance, the posi-
tive error in curvature is nearly sixty-sev-
en- feet; but there is partial Offset in the
opposite or negative error OF refraction.

RATHER GREEN.-A verdant Irish
girl, just arrived, was sent to an Inteli-
gence Office by the Commissioners OF
Emigration, to find a place of service.
She was sent to a restaurant, where stout
help was wanted, and while in conversa-
tion with the proprietor, he took occasion
to light his cigar, by igniting ocofoco
match on the sole of his boot. As soon
as the girl saw this, she ran away half
frightened to death, and when she reached
the Intelligence Office, she was almost
breathless
" Why, what's the matter with you ?"
said the proprietor, seeing her rush in in
such confusion.
"Och ! sure sur, but yes sent me to
the old devil himself in human form"
What do you mean has he dared to
insult a help from my office ?" inquired
the man.
" Yes sur" returned the girl, "he's
the divil."
" What did he do to you tell me and
I'll fix him for it," said he, quite exas-
perated.
" Whilst was talkin' to him about
the wages, he turned up the bottom Of
his fut, and wild a splinter in his finger,
sur, he jist gave one strike, and the fire
flew out of his fut and burned the stick,
and he lighted his cigar wild it, right atore
my own face. He's the dvi, sure, sur"

rious kinds may be seen in the cavities Of
grains Of sand. Mold is forest of beau

Hairs are hollow tubes. The surface of

FHE THREE HUNTERS.

Three hunters sat one Autumn night,
AT my cabins bright freside, [homes
And l asked them why they had left their
To roam the prairies wide.
One said the fever of gold had led
His foolish steps to roam,
And one that the blood of a causeless strife
Had driven him far from home
The third had a young and thoughtful face,
And he leaned on his ride nigh,
And turned on the fire a wistful gaze,
And he said with a saddened eye:
"For a lost loves sake and a false loves
l wander the wilderness wide, sake
With my mustang grey, and my rifle good,
And my faithful dog beside.
Nor grizzly's hug, nor panthers spring,
Nor red mans arrow l fear;
For the love that was bright is lost in night,
And | am stranger here"
They feasted well, those hunters three,
At my cabin-board so bright;
And thon, with a hearty but brief adieu,
Passed away into the night.
AT early morn our settlement,
With tidings wild was rife
That the Indian foe was abroad again,
With gun and scalping-hnifc.
And at noon were brought into our camp
Ny three of the night before,
And he that had sought for gold was sound
And the second was wounded sore.
But he that had roamed for lost loves sake
Was pallid and cold in death,
Though his lips had caught peaceful smile
Ere they lost the feetng breath.
And l closed the eye with touch devout,
And dropped the reverent tear,
But | could not grieve that the Lonely One
Was no longer a stranger here.
