SERENADE.

Awake, beloved it is the hour
When earth is fairyland;
The moon looks from her cloudy bow'r,
The sea sobs on the sand.
Our steps shall be by the dreaming sea.
And our thoughts shall wander far

In new-created star
Arise, my fair! a strange new wind
Comes kindly down from heaven:
Its fingers round my forehead bind
A chaplet angelgiven.

And the buds that yet shall blow.

It seemed as if we were scarcely at all

force trying to wrench me from the roof
of the coach. All the time the rock
which I had noticed in our front was in
my mind like an impending doom. I
felt that it was the fate that menaced us,
and that it was the boundary of life; it
was black wall into which we would

white horses stood with dropping heads
in front of the coach, and were scarcely
visible through dense cloud of steam
which rose from their heaving bodies.
The driver was sitting in his seat. his
elbows on bis knees, his chin resting in

The Bottom of the Atlantic

The soundings which were made be.
tween Ireland and Newfoundland before
laying the Atlantic cable have made the
bottom of the Atlantic almost as well
known as the surface of Europe and
America. 1t is covered with fine mud
the remains of microscopic insects, which
will one day, doubtless, harden into chalk
Of the inequalities of this ocean-bottom
Professor Huxley says: at is prodi
gious plain-one of the widest and most
prodigious plains in the world. If the
sea were drained off, you might drive a
wagon all the way from Valentia, on the
west coast of Ireland, to Trinity Bay, in
Newfoundland; and except one sharp in
cline, about twohundred miles from Va
lentia, | am not quite sure that it would
ever be necessary to put the skid on, so
gentle are the ascents and descents upon
that long route. From Valentia the road
would lie down hill for about two hun
dred miles, to the point at which the bot
tom is now covered by seventeen hundred
fathoms of sea-water. Then would come
the central plain, more than one thousand
miles wide, the inequalities of the surface
of which would be hardly perceptible.
Beyond this the ascent on the American
side commences, and gradually leads for
about two hundred miles to the New
foundland shore. Anon.

the courage to lift up his voice against
the excessive rigor of the Versailles

that time he was regarded by the Yer

About seven years ago young man
named George Arthur Brebb landed in
New York from Liverpool. He was the
son of one of the superintendents of one
of London's public libraries, who was
also a large stockholder in the Queen S
Theater, London. Athome, in London,
young Brebb had lived fast life, which
led to quarrel between him and his
father. Young Brebb finally determin-
ed to come to this country. When in
the United States he fell in with fast
companions, and before long his small
stock of money was gone. Not having
a trade, and knowing not what work
was, young Brebb was in sad plight,

roamed from State to State, dirty and
ragged. Early in April, 1879, he was,
with his dirty companions, hanging
around Cadiz, Harrison county, o. One
Sunday, John H. Fair. small farmer
and coal operator, living on the Cadiz
branch Of the Pan Handle, with his fam
lily, was out walking, and as the roads
were muddy they took the railroad
track. After walking some distance
they came upon young Brebb and his
gang huddled around a fire they had
built of brushwood Mr.. Fair got into
conversation with the men, and Mrs.
Fair noticed by Brebb's speech that he
was native of her own country. Mr..
and Mrs. Fair asked Brebb to cut loose
from his companions and stay with
them. This Brebb agreed to do and
next day he was put to work. Mr.. Fair
discovered very soon that Brebb did not
know what labor was, but as he gave ev-
idence of wanting to do his best, he was
kept at work making himself useful in
driving a coal team and helping with
agricultural work. About the last of
April, Mrs. Tweedie, a widowed sister of
Mrs. Fair, came over from England to
maze her home with the Fairs. She was
told the story of Brebb, and Brebb and
Mrs. Tweedie soon grew to be very
warm friends. This friendship, in time,
rpened into love, and ere many months
Mrs. Tweedie consented to marry
Brebb, although she knew nothing as to
who he really was, and only knew of his
life in this country from his own account.
He was redeemed tramp, and that W @

December of that year, after which mat
tiers went along as usual for several
months. Finally Brebb concluded he
would write home and let his parents
know of his whereabouts and situation.
After lapse of short time he received
an answer, stating that his father had
died two years ago, and that in his will
he had left his wayward son bIo, 900.
Bre b then disclosed his identity to his
wife and relatives, and soon after left
with his wife for London, where, from a
letter received this week, they arrived in
due time, and had Immediately received
the inheritance of about $4,000.
