The Thousand Islands.

The terrific combat between Manaboz-
no, the Indian hero, better known as the
Hiawatha of Longfellow and his father,
the West Wind, was doubtless suggested
to the first narrator of that memorable
event by the lakes of Northern New
York upon the one hand, and those of
the st. Lawrence chain upon the other,
as marking the cavities from which those
Titans might be supposed to have
plucked the masses of rock they hurled
at each other, the falling fragments Of
which formed that peculiar geological
phenomenon known as the Thousand
Islands, scattered through the st. Law
renee for hundred miles or SO of its
course.
These islands, about eighteen hun
dred in number, stretching throughout
that broad portion of the upper ST..
Lawrence, extending from Lake Ontario
to the Long Sault, are of all sizes and
of all kinds; some not more than yard
or 80 in extent, and some covering many
acres: some bare, rocky and desolate;
some thickly covered with scraggy
growth of scrub pines and hemlocks
some shaded with considerable forests Of
timber trees, and some cultivated here
and there, producing such slight susten,
ance as the inhabitants can wiring from
an unfruitful soil.
In the old Indian days, this beautiful
extent of the river from Clayton tt
Alexandria Bay, embracing an extent o.
sixteen miles, widening almost to LAKE
and crowded with a perfect maze o
islands, went by the name of Manatoana
or Garden of the Great Spirit; and, in
deed, in the time of Natures undisputet
empire, when the larger islands wer
covered with thick growths of pine
hemlock, white birch and maple; whel

The Lioness md the Terrier.

In Dublin, which, you know, is one
of the great cities of ireland, there are
gardens where all kinds of wild animals
are kept for show. These are called
Geological Gardens. Our word zO-Ology
comes from the Greek words, coon, an
animal, and Eo-gos, discourse so that
zoology means that part of natural his
tory which treats OF animals.
In these Dublin Gardens there was a
loness that went by the name OF Old
Girl. She was born in the gardens in
1852 and died there at the age of six
teen years "a pretty old age for lion.
ness, after having reared fifty cubs.
She was lioness of very high spirit,
though quite gentle; and good judges
said she was the handsomest one they
had ever seen.
These flesh eating beasts, when in
health, have no objection to the pres
ence of rats in their cages; on the con-
trary they rather welcome them as a
relief to that sameness of life which is
the chief trial of wild animal in con-
fnement. But in illness the case is diff
ferent, for the ungrateful rats, not con-
tented with sharing the lions food, then
begin to nibble the toes of the helpless
lord of the forest, and add much to his
discomfort.
To save Old Girl from this vexation,
the keepers placed in her cage a fine
little terrier. He was at first received
Tith sulkY growl from Old Girl; but
when the first rat appeared, and she saw
the little terrier toss him into the air
and catch him across the loins with a
snap when he came down, she began to
understand what the terrier was for.
Her whole manner was changed. She
coaxe1 the little dog to her side, and
folded her paw around him, as if TO
thank him for saving her from her ter
rible enemies, the rats. Every night
after that, the little terrier slept at the
breast of the ioness, embodied with her
paws, and on the watch for enemies.
You may be sure, that during the six
weeks. that Old Girl lived after this, the
rats had bad me.-NurSery.

And their faces grow young, all their gray mist'

AGuinen for n SIxpence.

A firm in New York seems unfamiliar with
the London story Of the man who offered to
sell real guineas at trihe, but could find no
BUYERS. Geo. p. Rowell Il Co.,-the News
paper Advertising Bureau" propose, for one
hundred O. dollars to put a ten-line adver,
tisement in some thirty standard weeklles, and
to slide it into a thousand other weeklles free.
Do they expect people to take the offer? ANY
one acquainted with thethigh rates OF these
ridiculous. Rowell & Co. must know very
well that acceptances of the offer would be so
many items to charge to profit and loss. We
retract our insinuation about their Ignorance
of that London story. They probably know II
too well and are shrewd enough by taking adj
vantage of that human trait at which the story
hits to make a stroke for fame as men OF
startling liberality, and at the same time run
no risk of pecuniary lOss.

Juvenile Wit and HumOr.

George Mcdonald, in one Of his popu-
lar works says: at is marvellous how
children can reach the heart of truth at
once"
A little boy was one day asked by a
clergyman if he knew what an implicit,
child-like faith was. he thought he
did. Being asked to describe it, after
thinking a moment, he said: "When
my mother says a thing is so, l must
believe it is so, if it amt So"
A boy in Cambridge was told by his
mother that ne must not play marbles in
the front yard on Sunday, but go in the
back yard. "Isn't it Sunday in the
back yard, mother ?" asked the little in.
quisitor.
BENJAMIN Franklin, when a child,
found the long blessing repeated by his
father over every meal exceedingly tedi-
GUS. So one day, when they were en-
gagged in sailing down pork, he suggest
ed to his father that it would be saving
of time to ask blessing on the whole
hog at once. The reply of the father is
not recorded, but it is supposed to have
been of a striking character and to have
been deeply felt and long remembered
by the irreverent young PHILOSOPHER,
who thus early and under dificulties
was beginning his studies in economic
science.
1t is told of a little fellow in New
Hampshire that, after the funeral of his
father, being asked why his eyes were
dry when all the rest of the family we're
weeping, replied. "Oh, I didn't see any
use in whining and sniveling about it,
but 1 guess was just as sorry and mad
as any of you"
Utilitarian ideas have never been fol-
lowed out more remorselessly, perhaps,
than in the case of the little boy, who
had been set to collect all the old bones
lying around, to burn as dressing for
the asparagus bed. One day a neigh
boris barn took fire and his father has
tened to help extinguish the flames.
Willy stood with his mother looking
over toward it, when he asked: "Moth-
err, what should we do if father should
fall into that fire and be burned upF
cob she replied, "he will be careful
and not get burned" az know, mother,
but suppose his foot should slip and he
should fall in and be burned, what
should we do?' ct don't know what
we should do, Willy "Well, there's
one thing we could do, mother; we could
have his bones for the asparagus bed"

Act from Principle.

How few persons there are whose
lives are governed entirely from princi.
pie rather than inclination. Even those
OF us who may be endeavoring to live
for high purposes, come far short of our
aspirations; alas how very far short.
How often we find our convictions of
right and duty questioning if it might
not be as well for us to yield to inclina.
ton, just for the time, promising our
disturbed consciences that we will make
up for the present indulgence by more
vigorous self denial and stricter attention
to duty. Vain, fallacious reasoning of a
weak nature we can never make up for
one neglected opportunity, one mis-
spent hour, one wrong, selfish act. Once
past, the opportunity unimproved, the
hour wasted, the act committed, it is
beyond our reach to recall, except in
thoughts of regret. We may atone for
it, but we can never change the past.
Alasl how painfully we are aware Of
this fact. Then should we all endeayor
the more earnestly to make our lives
embodiments of principle; for we all
know that, after all, the path of duty,
though sometimes rugged, is not with.
out sweet pleasures; and let us never
follow our inclinations, if they would
lead us away from right. Then shall We
be permitted at the last to look bach
upon our lives with satisfaction, feeling
that we have "done what we could, ;
and that our Father regards us will

Any one who eats three or four eggs
at breakfast consumes that number of
embryo chicks. All the materials which
enter into the legs, bones, feathers, bill,
etc., of the newborn chick exist in the
egg, as nothing is derived from outside.
The little creature which has Just
pecked his way out of his calcareous
prison house has lime and phosphorus
in his bones, sulphur in his features,
iron, potash, soda, and manganese in
his blood, all of which mineral constitu-
ents came from the egg, and are taken
into the stomach when it is eaten as
food. The valuable or important salts
are contained in the yolk, and hence this
portion of the egg is the most useful in
some forms of disease. A weakly person,
in whom nerve force is deficient and the
blood impoverished, may take the yolks
OF eggs with advantage. The iron and
phosphoric compounds are in a condi-
ton to be readily assimilated, and al
