They turn it a bit Just to give you trial;

You're very soon cured at the Teetotal Mill. -
Bill listened and wondered; at length he cried,

POE TRY
THE BLOOMING OF THE ALOE.

They come to the aloe's blooming;
Come frum near and far.
A hundred years OF labor,
OF peace, and pain, and war.
A hundred years ofwaiting;
Through sun and storm and gloom;
A hundred years of death and life,
Have brought the aloe's bloom.
They come to the aloe's blooming
From India across the wave;
Old lands that dare remember
The weed they dared not save;
The weed that grew to glory,
The deserts arid stem,
That bids them here to see it wear
It's fiorai diadem.
A still and loveless nursing
Set by the bowling sea;
But now it spreads Ger all the land
Far as the wild winds flee.
Beneath those strong and mighty leaves
Protected nations lie,
And bless the milkwhite spire Of bloom
That towers to meet the sky.
The birds that rest upon it
Shall sing their grateful lays,
Till every spiked and prickly leaf
Cleans with the dew OF praise.
The faint and thirsty traveller
Shall gather from its heart
A draught of welcome, fresh and pure
Before his steps depart.
God bless the blooming aloe,H
Inevery glorious flower,
1t waited long in patient strength
For this triumphant hour.
God bless our splendid aloe!
And God avert the doom
That hangs above its type flower,
To perish after bloom!

HOW THE MISSISSIPPI WEARS AWAY
ITS BANKS.

The observation is made by Reclus, in his
work 1.-The Earth" that the Mississippi
River seems to contradict the law of dis
placement Of running water, which in con-
sequence Of the motion Of the earth on its
axis causes all streams which flow north or
south TO hug the west side of their valleys.
But Mr.. G. W. Il. Bailey, in paper pub
lsshed in the Journal Of the American Socie-
ty of Civil Engineers, shows that the anoma-
" is an apparent one only. 1.-The river"
he writes, ..does wear away its western
shoreline more rapidly than the eastern,
but it cannot do otherwise than gradually
excavate circular bends, of from twenty to
twenty >five miles in circumference general
", and then cut them of, leaving them to
the westward. There has been, always, an
excess Of overflow and of seiimcntary de-
posts west, and by far the largest number
as well as the greatest bends when cut
off, have been left to the west. The western
portion Of theivalleyis everywhere well filled
with alluvion, and the swamps west have
firm bottoms throughout the valley. Below
Baton Rouge, where the river tends to the
southeast, the swamps on the casts are bog
gy and not well filled with deposits, and
the large spaces covered by Lakes Maurepas
and Pontchartrain are left untitled.
'slf the Mississippi had teen river Of
clear water (instead Of being sedimentary) !,
traversing valley not alluvial, it would
probably occupy the western side OF its val
lev like other streams flowing toward the
equator; but, as it is, it levees or embanks
itself to the eastward by an excess Of de-
posts west. It hugs the bluffs on the east
side. down to the last one at Baton Rouge,
for the reason that it could not be forced
any farther eastward; but Immediately be-
low the last bluff, the excess OF deposits
west crowd the river-channel eastward
still farther the general direction thence
to the present mouth being southeast. In,
mouth of the river having now reached
very deep water in the gulf Of Mexico, and
having advanced a little beyond the filling
up Of the gulf west, and beyond the south
err limit of the wertcrn highlands, tn
tendency is to fow wcstwar by the South
west Pass, which is now the largest channe
conveying about one.third Of the whole rlv
