THE REAsoN.-Charles III. once asked
a body of savans why it was that live
fish placed in a bucket of water did not
increase its weight, whereas when dead
fish was placed therein it became heavi-
er. Many were the learned theories
put forward to account for the alleged
fact, and it was not till some one more
shrewd than the rest proposed that the
experiment be tried that it was found
that the phenomenon under discussion
had no existence except in the imagina-
tion Of the witty monarch.

A Nursery Rhyme for 1876.

Rock-a-by baby, on the treetop!
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
But the cradle Of liberty never will fall,
Though the boughs do wave and the tree is go
tall.
It's simple contrivance, dear. having a
spring,
That will hold you and rock you. as safe as a
king;
You can see the whole world as your eyes grow
strong
The wonderful world that's been growing 80
long,
That is wiser, my dear, and Drawer and truer
Each year as it grows. or this we're sure
And this is by babies, in all times and lands,
Froic and crow and toss up their hands.

From the peasant to the king,

Crates are glowing, music flowing
From the lips we lows the best;
Oh, the joy, the bliss of knowing
There are hearts whereon to restl
Hearts that throb with eager gladnees-
Hearts that echo to our own
While grim care and haunting sadness
Mingle ne'er in look or tone.
Care may tread the halls Of daylight,
Sadness haunt the midnight hour,
But the weird and witching twilight
Brings the glowing hearthstones dover.

to chemistry as non nfiamable, and the most

cess consists in so preparing Asbestos with
other hbrous and glntinous matter as TO form
a strong, elastic adhesive and indestructible
covering for steam pipes and boilers, which
we have fully demonstrated is pre-eminently
superior to any other covering now in use, 1t
is less expensive than Hair Felting and can
be applied at any time while the boilers are in
use. One covering VIII last in perfect order

flexibility causes it to contract and expand

in plastic state upon hot surface with
