SPONGE.

We received through the post Office
the other day, a bundle of sponges,
done up in very compact manner,
from a friend who is now cruising
among the keys and reefs of Florida.
"The keys" are lodges of rock COM
ing just above the surface of the wat :
er, forming small islands, upon which
soil often actumulates, and vegetation
fourishes. A "reeT is a chain or
range Of rocks lying at or near the
surface of the water.
These keys and reefs, many of them
of coral formation, lie all around the
Florida coast and in the Gulf of Mex
leo; the most northerly being Cedar
Keys, aud 1t the south, Key West,
the Keys of the Tortugas, and many
others. And it was among some Of
these clusters Of rocks and reefs that

How the Ere originated was mys-
tery which We could never unrsvel.
Grace, sitting with her back to the
stove, and with her attention entirely
absorbed by the pictures in the fam
lily Bible, did not see it until Rover,
the Newfoundland dog, who had
been doing BY her side, startled her
by his evident uneasiness,a after which
he sprang through the window, for
tunately carrying the sash bodily With
him, and running with full speed to
the nearest house, soon returning
with some of its inmates.
Grace. in the meantime, brayely
letting down the two elder children
through the window, which was only
about four feet from the ground, took
the baby from the cradle, and was
about to follow, when the neighbors
arrived. The house being old, and
built as such houses usually are, OF
the most combustible materials, not
withstanding all efforts, soon became
a blackened, smoking ruin.
Rover and old Whitley lived to
good old age. and were afterwards
held in grateful remembrance for
their services on that occasion.
One evening, about . year after
ward, as we sat in our own new home,
built on the site Of the old one, but
more commodious and comfortable in
every respect, remarked: eThat
the FIRE had benefited US at least in
one way, for unless the old house had
been actually consumed, we should

other way" said my husband grave

off doing anything which should be
done at once, until more convenient
season. If the harness had given way

would not have interfered with the
safety of the children, it would have
added tenfold to our anxiety, because
it would have delayed our reaching

Extract taken from the Edinburgh Rev
You will observe that the extract refers to
the report of General de lamoriciere, spec
tally appointed BY the French government
to Investigate the merits of the different
breeds of draft horses. General de Lamori-
ciere, states rs follows:
Notwithstanding the broad difference that
necessarily exists between the cart horse
breed and horses used for purposes of lux.
ury, the English. who know how TO Mould
nature according to their natural wants.
have solved the problem; and we lately wit.
messed at the meeting OF the Agricultural
Institute, At Versailles, working in the same
neld, with ploughs exactly similar and I'M
der identical conditions. from teams com
posed as follows:
|. Two Ciydesdale mares.
= Three suffolk mares.
$. Three Percheon mares.
Three Boulognese mares.
The two Clydesdale mares performed the
same task as the other three teams, and did
II much quicker. on point of time the teams
finished their work in the order indicated
above. TheSuffolk mares finished much be
fore the Percherons, and between the latter
and the Roulognese there was scarcely any
difference.
The above points clearly before the public
the merits of the different breeds OF draft
horses, considered from French stand
point. and shows clearly that the Clydesdale
are more than one-ihird superior to the
French breeds. am interested personally
In the Ciydesdale, but have quoted this ar
ticle to show that don't wish people to
Judge them from what say or any other
Importer. but let them Judge them from the
French point ofyiew The only advantage
| admit that the French and Belgian breeds
have Is that they can be bought chea per in
the first instance, but l have yet 10 learn
any other.
