cUrrL rEIsH CASTING IT'S INK.

Mr.. Frank Buckland, the we'll known Eng

his good fortune in seeing, under favorable
conditions, a cuttlelish casting its ink. Three
or four specimens of cuttles live in the West

the most intensely black smoke as that ever

fetish thon went into tho middle of the water
that he had so artfully made opaque. When
there he elected more ink, aud in less than
half minute the water round him became
blacker than the blacklist thunder cloud ever
beheld. The ink gradually dispersed itself
through the water, forming clouds OF the
most delicate standings, fading off from the

ever imagined such cloud. The ink is used
in the arts, sepia being the very substance
taken from the cuttlefish and dried. With
out doubt this power of shooting ink is most
wonderful means of protection to preserve the
animal from being eaten by its enemies, and
it may not be impossible that the idea Of gods
and goddesses appearing from the clouds aud
disappearing into clouds, SO often described
by Virgil, might have taken its origin from

CLAP YoUR Ia Ds FOR JOY.

Where the youthful son OF Jesse
Toucil'd the harp with silver strains,
While the peaceful flock he tended
Graz'd upon the feItile plains
Where he listened TO the murmur
OF the brooklet soft and low
Came the blessed infant saviour,
Eighteen hundred years ago.
All the world was leckaa in slumber:
Calm and still the dewy night;
Every star in shining armor
81 Keeping watch on lofty height
Then sudden burst Of music
81 Thro' the air it rolled along;
Multitudes of shining angels
~ Woke the earth with heavily song.
. Thro' the linesof distant ages.
Swifter chan the mhrcli of time,
4 Like ariyer sweepip4puward,
Comes the mighty strains sublime
Great Emmanuel, Prince and Saviour
Pure and spotless, undefiled,
In thy birth, o King of Glory,
God to man is reeonciled.

HINTS TO MoTHERs,--If you wish to Guilt
vate gossiping meddling censorious spirit
in your children, be sure when they come
fromacburch visit, or any other place where
you do not accompany them, TO ply them with
questions concerning what everybody wore,
how everybody looked, and what everybody
said aud did aud if you find anything in all
this to censure, always do it in their hearing.
You may rest assured, if you pursue course
Of this kind, they will not return to you un-
laden with intelligence aud rather than that
it should be uninteresting, they will, by de-
grees, learn to embellish in such manner as
shall not fail to call forth remarks and ex-
pressions of wonder from you. You will, by
this course, render the spirit of curiosity
which is so early visible in children, and
which, if rightly directed, may be made the
instrument Of enriching and enlarging their
minds-a vehicle of mischief which shall serve
only to narrow them.

now to look forward telthe evening, hoping

We're not rewarded by her beautiful beams,

earth and the heavens, and it was impossible

the twentieth of May, for the sun that OPEN
edsthe flowers and miiqored itself in the dew
drops, brought the color again to the chill

fidence.
The birds sang joyously, the cattle return
cd to their pastures, the places of business
were opened, and every one went about his
work more gently toward man, and more
grateful toward God.
After the darkness was passed. several per-
sons travelled about to gather all possible in
formation concerning the memorable day, and
DR., Tenny wrote. an account of what he
learned while on journey from the east of
Pennsylvania. He says the deepest darkness
was in Essex county, Massachusetts, the low
er part of New Hampshire, and the eastern
portion of Maine (where my grandfather iv-
ed.) In Rhode Island and Connecticut it was
not SO great in New Jersey peculiar clouds
were observed, but the darkness was not I'M
common, and in the lower parts of Pennsyl-
yania nothing unusual was observed.
1t extended as far north as the American
settlements and westward to Albany, and its
exact limits could not be ascertaned.
In Boston the darkness continued fourteen
or fifteen hours, varying in duration at other
places.
AS it was impossible to attribute the dark
ness to an eclipse, the wise people formed
many theories respecting it being convinced
that it was to immense fires in the woods,
winds blowing in opposite directions, and to
tue condition Of the vapors, but Hefschel
says: " The dark day in Northern America

The Al afeur Ranf Race.

The four cared amateur boat race, which
came off last night, was very tame affair
owing to an accident to one of the boats. This
race was arranged by the Montgomery Guards
and was to have taken place on the occasion of
their Sebsgo Lake excursion but was postponed
on account of the roughness of the water. The
prize was pair of oars and the distance was
one mile.
Last evening at Z. 80 there was quite crowd
on the several wharves to see the contest. The
referee, David Hannigan, and Mr.. Brady, the

start was made. The Norton crew were com

ond and Dugan third. In the Freeman crew
were Flaherty bow, Thompson stroke, Mccain
second and Breslin third. The word was given
with but little delay and both crews had good
start, taking the water at the same instant.
The Norton crew had gone but a few lengths,
however, when an outriger to their boat broke
and they were obliged to stop and return to
their boat house. The Freeman crew then

A FINE ExcURsIoN.-The splendid excur-
sion to Seguin Islaud and the mouth of the
Kennebec River on steamer Forest City of the
Boston line tomorrow offers unusual attraction.
Most of our people are familiar with the
scenery of our own Casco Bay, but few are
acquainted with the delightful scenery around
the mouth of the Kennebec. The excursion is
an inside one and will prove one of great
pleasure, as it will afford fine view of
Seguin Island, the mouth of the Sheepscot
river, Squirrel Island and many other very
interesting points. The steamer leaves Frank
lin Wharf at 10 q. M, aud without making
any landing will return to the city at 5 o'clock
D. No. Those who do not provide their own
refreshments will find everything on board
they wish for, and they can have an excellent
dinner at a moderate charge. Nothing SO at
traciive in tie shape of an excursion has been
offered to the pubic for long time, while the
size of the steamer is such that ample room is
given to all.
