Ar Elephant in Trouble.

A singular accident occurred recently
at the Geological Gardens. The small
er African elephat Alice, which some
few months ago had its trunk unfortu-
nately torn off, was turned out into the
elephant yard while her cage was being
swept out. In the large yard in ques-
ton some new pipes had been laid down
to supply the pond with water. The
workmen had not filed in the excava-
ton with sufficient frmness, and Alice,
treading with her right foreleg on the
soft ground, it gave way below her,
and she was Immediately buried up
to her shoulder. Her present keep
ers came to her assistance, but the
animal was in q state of great fury
and excitem ent, and the only person
who dared go near her was Scott, her
old keeper, and formerly joint keeper
of the elephant house VITA Andrew
Thorn pson. Pulleys and hosting tackle
were brought to the spot and planks
inserted under Alice's jaw. The pull.
legs being brought to work on these
planks, her head was lifted, and then
the beams were placed under her chest.
Finally, after an hours hard work,
partly by digging away the ground
around her and partly by bringing the
pulleys to bear, she was rescued

TIME AND LOVE.
Addpted from the French of Seour.


Tune, who is of travellers all most ancient,
When one day marching on his weary way,
Arriving near stream, thus loudly cried,
" Have pity, I1ty, on my ancient years
Alas ! no more am / remembered here
/. who count every moment as it flies;
Kind friends, tits who earnestly entreat you.
ONE one, come all, and hasten to pass Time."
Full many maid, who, from the opposing shore
Behold the old mans plight with fearful eyes,
Burned in her soul his passage to assist,
With trail bark, whose helmsman was true Love-
But one from out the throng, by far most wise,
Restrained them with these cold but prudent words
81 All often, often, has one come to grief
And ruin dire, by seeking to pass Tlme."
Love gaily pushed his shallop from the bank,
And soon approached the spot where fingered
Time.
He babe the old mau hasten on with him,
En- barked him and set sail with prosperous breeze.
Love gently piled his well shaped oars and swift,
And sang and sang again, with merry shout
: You see you sees my pretty shepherdesses,
But soon Love drops the oar-in fact. grows weary
{That always was the special fault of Love-.
The falling oar is seized by Time, who cries.
6 What! tired so soon? Already dost give up?
Poor child. thy weakness great-thy strength how
small!
Do thou sleep now, and I will sing in turn
This old refrain, approved of steady wisdom:
3. All Time has made Love pass-has made Love
pass ]"
Il beauteous maid concealed among the groves
Which lined the rivers bank. had heard the talk,
And now, unable to restrain her mirth,
Laughed at Times neral and poor Loves despite.
Cried Time, in anger, S'Who has strength enough
To brave my ancient years and Love combned?"
But Friendship calm with truthful mien, replied,
81 naught have feared, nor aught will fear, from
Time"

The South Pole.
From all the Year Round,

The greatest point of difference be-
tween the Arctic and Antarctic regions
lies in the fact that the former is dot
ted over with numerous islands, PENN
sulas and isthmuses; whereas the latter
is exposed to 1.-THE dash of vast and
deep ocean. Ross experienced, from
sweeping currents and winds, more
than ever has to be borne by northern
explorers. On one occasion, when he
was becalmed for few hours, the
dead set of the ocean waves drifted the
ships toward q range of huge icebergs,
against which the sea broke with ap-
palling violence. every eye was
transixed with the tremendous spec
tacle, and destruction appeared inev-
table," The ships were thus driven
on for eight hours, until within half a
mile of the gigantic icebergs, when a
gentle air began to stir; the ships
yielded to the influence or the puff
of wind, which gradually fresh
ened into a gale; and before dark, to
the heartfelt satisfaction of ali on
board, the ships emerged from their
peril, and got out into the wide ocean.
Ross had good means of knowing how
thoroughly Wilkes had been deceived
concerning the appearance of land at
8 particular spot, for he spent three

How Far Or the Sun Is.
From Report of Prof. Young's Lectu1

From Report OF Prof. Young's Lecture.
Light, which travels with amazing
velocity, required eight minutes to
reach the earth. Sound would require
fourteen years to travel from the sun
to the earth, so that if we saw an ex-
plosion at it's surface, it would be four
teen years before we could hear it.
But if we could place rod of iron
from the sun to. the earth, and that it
was struck with a hammer on one end.
the sound would reach the opposite
end in about eleven months. But per-
haps the most singular illustration of
the SUMS distance was drawn from the
human economy. Sensation took s
certain time to travel to the nerve
centres; and if we could imagine a hui.
man infant with an arm long enough
to reach the sun, it would take $50
years for the sensation to reach him
after burning his fingers; in other
words, he would be dead several years
before the sensation of burning could
reach him. The suns distance was so
inconceivable that it was only by max
ing such comparisons we could form
any idea at all of 1T.
