WHAT MAKES A sEA-sHELL SING.

When the sea-shell is held up to the ear
there is a peculiar Migratory noise, which
children assure each other is the roar of the
sea, however distant they may be from it.
P~hilosophicaIly investigated, the peculiar
sound thus recognized is a phenomenon that
has puzzled scholars for a long time. The
experiment is easily made by simply press
ing a spiral shell over the cerebra of either
ear. If a large shell, the sound is very much
like that of a far-oR cataract. Now, what
causes it? Every muscle in the body is al
ways in a state of tension. Some are more
on the stretch than others, and particularly
those of the finger. 1t is conceded that the
vibration of the tibers of those i'm the fingers
being communicated to the shell, it propo-
gates and intensities them as the hollow
body of a violin does the vibration of its
strings. and thus the acoustic nerve receives
the sonorous expressions. Muscles of the
leg below the knee are said to vibrate in the
same way, and, if conducted to the ear, pro-
duce the same result.

THE STORY OF A NOSE,

NJ. Arago, the French statesman, and
nephew of the astronomer, is, in spite ofhis
G5 years, a very handsome man. lie has a
large nose, of which he is somewhat proud.
A short time ago he was travelling by train
to Versailles, when a child who was in the
same carriage and who had watched Arago
for sometime with dilated eyes, began to
cry. In vain did the child's mother, Arago
and another Senator endeavor to calm the
purturbed Juvenile. The poor mother was
in despair, and as the shrieKs grew more
and more piercing, Arago felt bound to in
terIere and see what he could do.
He said to the child, "What ais you my
dear? Are you afraid of me? don't look
very naughty, do Ii" Thus addressed, the
child sobbed out, "Take off your nose"
Arago looked at the mother, who grew
very confused and said "Ah monsieur!
excuse me-; excuse my son." "But mad
am" said Arago, "what does he nean.n
The mother then explained that she had
during the carnival taken her children to
see a number of persons in masks and with
false noses, and he had got so excited that
he could think o%fnothing else. by an UNI
fortunate occurrence" she added, tive got
into the same carriage as you, who, .tor

IN THE sERE AND YELLOW LEAF.

Old age, disappointment and perplexity
are heavy burdens. He looks rs though Ire
might appropriate Byron's words, yet with
out Byron's reasons:
'My days are in the yellow leaf;
The flowers and fruits of love are gone;
The worm, the canker and the grief
Are mine alone.
The last days of some are doubtless their
best days, but with others, growing old is
a painful thing. The work OF the world. is
chiefly done by the young and the middle
aged; hence it is they who give tone to So
ciety, and in general determine what sort of
a place the world shall be to live in. As
manners and customs and fashions change,
it is not strange that one who is growing old
should think the old ways best. The
trouble generally arises, not from simply
thinking so, but in, treating divergence from
the old paths as a moral delinquency.
No one can ''grow old gracefully with
out keeping in sympathy and companion
ship with the young. He need not make
light of their faults, nor participate in their
follies, but he must not regard either as un-
pardonable sins. He must find something
to enjoy with them, Some old people find
the world bright and good to the last
which is to say they enjoy the companions

THE sQUEAKER's A LAss.'

Among the ignorant people of England,
humorous mistakes often occur, even when
correctness and the solemnity would seem
to be required.
A puddler went the other day to get his
child christened. "What name," said the
parson, shall l call the child ?"
'Thoo can caal the kid owt thoo likes"
says the father. &c.,
"Weel," says the parson, 81 think Benja-
min is a very nice NAME"
"Varry weel," says the father, scaal him
Benjamin"
The puddler came out of the church with
his wife and child, highly delighted with the
name, when a thought struck him. Rush
ing back into the church, and o%yertaking
the parson walked down the aisle, he ex-
claimed,-
"Hey, mister, the young squeaker's a
lass !"
The parson was at a loss what to do un-
der the circumstances. However, he put in
an a at the end OF the name, and they called
it Benjamin..

JENNY LIND'S SYMPATHY.

A charming story is just revived. show
in a strong light the noble nature of the
great Swedish singer, so unlike that of Miss
Nilsson who has succeeded her in public
favor. Jenny was in England. in the height
OF her success. She drew enthusiastic au-
dlences, and was Il welcomed guest in the
first circles of society. Her name. also was
on the tongues of the people, and those who
could not hear her music were eager to
catch a sight of her in the streets.
When at Bath, walking with a friend, she
saw an old woman lettering into the door
OF an almshouse. Her pity was at once ex-
cited, and Sc entered the door, ostensibly to
rest for a moment, but really to give some
thing to the poor woman. To her surprise.
the old woman began at once to talk of Jen-
ny Lind, saying
II have lived a long time in the world. and
desire nothing before l die but to hear Jcn-
ny Lind"
"Would it make you happy?" inquired
Jenny.
LAY, that it would but such folks as /
can't go to the playhouse, and so l shall
never hear her."
"Don't be so sure of that said denny.
Sit down, my friend, and listen"
She than sung, with genuine glee. one Of
her best songs, The old woman was Wild
with delight and wonder, when she added
Snow you have heard Jenny Lind"
One who could go out of her way to do
such a kindness to a poor old woman, must
nave had a noble nature, worthy of her
grand success.

Hearts and homes, sweet words revealing,

Fitting shrines for pnrest feeling,
Temples meet to bend the knee;
Infant hands bright garlands v'rcathing;
Happy voices incense breathing;
Emblems fair of realms above,
Love is heaven and heaven is love.
Books like friends should be well chosen.
He who hates another mar for not being
a Christian is not himself a Christian.
Difference is the most complicated the
most indirect, the most elegant and the most

God, who hath done singular things for
our good, may indeed justly expect that we
should do singular things for his glory.
There is no receiving without asking
no finding without seeking no opening
