THE FOREST STREAM.
NJ JAMES Il. BAERIcK.


In n low and ceaseless murm1r
Gently flows the forest strcsn. D
pav and night to nature chanting,
Music sweet as song and DREAM
In the mirrored sky revealing
All he beauty Of its CLEAN.
With a song of JOY and gladness
Doth the little minstrel sing;
And each passing breeze aud zephyr
Watts it's echo on their wing,
Till the air around, above ~,
Swells with magic murmnring.
Bubbling onward like fountain,
Born Of melody and song,
Like transient CLEAN of beauty
Flows the silver stream along
Chanting anthems unto nature
She 10 whom its notes belong
fastening onward-onward ever
Like the life that flows in me,
As wave upon the river,
fastening onward to the sea;
As hope the hidden future
Scanning far the things 10 be.
Summer storms may Ger il gather,
Winds CT autumn round it W il
Winter, too, it's bosom ruflle,
With its icy sleet and hail;
But with summer-autumn-
Doth its steady flow prevail.
Thus life's fountain to lis river
In n winding current hows,
And its river TO its ocean
In O channel deeper grows,
Till its fountaiu-river-Oc
In eternity repose.

The Name of the Female Fox,

A Londoner recently told reporter
of the Whitehall Repiew of one of those
awkward contretemps which, happily,
are OF rare occurrence. He was travel
ing in Somersetshire, and had for his
companions a reverend gentleman and
his wife, daughter, and maid. Con-
versation after while became mutual,
and the Londoner opened the subject of
education. Among other things, said
he to the reverend gentleman:
60 curions question was put TO my
sister, when at school, as test question
at an examination: What is the name
of the female fox'-and curiously, al
though my sister had been born and
bred in the country, and her companions
at school likewise, none of them could
answer the question. The answer is
Vixen"
The Londoner had no sooner said this
than he observed cloud gather over the
lady's brow; the daughter blushed, and
the maid looked confused, while the
clergyman stared hard Mt hims Ignorant
that he had given utterance to any
thing indecorous, or likely to cause this
sudden change, he began to feel very
much embarrassed, and was only aware
of the extent of his inquiry when his
clerical vis-a-vis handed him a card,
whereon, to his horror, he read: Rev.
Fox, -Rectory,-Dorsetshire." He,
of course, rendered a profusion of
apologies, and avowed his entire ingnor-
ance of the names previously (Which
was fact); but it was no good-con-
versation was impossible afterward.

VOLCANOES IN THE NOON

The elder Herschel fully believed
that on one occasion he saw the flames
of an active volcano in the moon, and
quite recently DR.. Klein announced his
discovery of a new crater on the lunar
surface. Still the prevailing impress
sion among astronomers is that the moon
is dead world, and that while the evil
dence of past volcanic action in that
satellite are abundant, its internal fires
have long since been extinguished.
The controversy as to the existence of
active volcanoes is likely, however, to
be renewed by the publication in the
Scientific american of a supposed erup-
ton of lunar volcano seen by Mr..
John Hammes and his son at Oskaloosa,
Iowa, on the 18th of last November, at
half-past eight o'clock in the evening.
Mr.. Hammes, it appears, has a six and
one-half inch telescope, with which he
travels around the country showing the
moon and planets to schools and col
leges, and is, therefore, familiar with
the appearance of that body and the use
of his instrument. He describes the
eruption as lasting half an hour, and as
being of the same color and as plainly
visible as any other mountain scenery
in the moon. His son also saw the phe-
nomenon, but describes the eruptive
streaks as less fan-shaped than those
seen by his father. According to the
sketch furnished by Mr.. Hammes, the
new volcano seems to be in the vicinity
of Baco, Barocius and Nicolai, as given
on Beer and Madler's map of the moon
Mr.. Hammes had, of course, no means
of measuring the height of the eruption,
but his sketch shows that it proceeded
from clearly-defned crater. Mr..
Hammes is we'll known in Keokuk,
Iowa, and the Mayor, Postmaster and
other officials of that city vouch for him
as an honest and trustworthy man. The
surface of the moon is now 30 closel y
scanned both here and in Europe, that
if the eruption seen by Mr.. Hammes
was not an optical illusion-and very
many remarkable instances of such
mythical appearances are on record-it
ought to be confirmed by other OBJ
servers. Meantime, the belief that the
moon is not so dead as has been mag
ined is growing among scientific men,
and the discovery of this supposed new
volcano is sure to strengthen it,
