What an Egg Is.

TO the reflective mind the egg
constitutes one of the greatest mar
wells of nature. At first view II
would seem that it is an especial
characteristic of birds; but when
We observe that fishes, so different
from birds in their organization and
their mode of lite, have also eggs,
we see that it must be the same in
one sclrSc with all kinds of animals.
\ pullct's egg is n very small germ,
possessing ut first only the most cs
scntial organs for the actual sns-
tcnancc of its existence, and the
gradual development of its other
parts inclosrd in Il box, with its pro
visions for the time it must actually
remain III scclusion. The animal is
the little whitish circle remarked in
the membrane which cnvelopS the
mass of the Nclk. The house DIES
tined to protect the young animal
until it has acquired all Of its own
organs, aud all the necessary
strength, and yet allow the air aud
heat to penetrate, is the shell.
Hence the size of the eggs of ami.
mails is not necessarily proportional
To the size OF the animals to which
they belong. All animals, what.
ever they may be-trom the clc.
phant to the humming bird-arc at
the moment when they begin 10 feel
the principle OF life nearly of the
same size. That which varies is
the provision of nourishmcnt they
require. The crocodile, destined to
attain colossal dimensions, can take
care of himself very well in the
river where he was born when he
has attained the size of Il lizard; SO
nature places in the box where he
is confined food sufficient to enable
him to reach that size. The same
with fishes; there are some cnor.
nous ones which have only very
small eggs, because, however dlmlu
utivc they may be On leaving their
envelope, they can already obtain
their own living III the bosom of

\ dozen miles or 50,
And hurry of before twas day,
Some forty years ago.
The people rode to meeting Jim,
In sleds instead Of sleighs,
Aud wagons rode IA easy. Jim,
A. buggics nowadays;
And oxen answered we'll for teams,
Though now they'd he too slow,
For people lived not half 80 fast,
Some forty years ago.
q. well do remember Jim,
That Wilson's patent stove
That father bought and paid Tor, JIM,
In cloth our gals had we've;
Aud how the ucighbors wondered Jam,
when we got the thing Ia 90,
They said 'twould burst and Kill liz all,
Some forty years ago.
Yes, every thing Is different, Jim,
From what 1t used To was,
For men are always tainpcIlng, jim,
With Gods great natural laws;
Int what on earth we're coming to
Doe, anybody know
For everything has changed 50 mnch'
Siuer forty years ago.
