THEN AND now.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Dear ancient school boysi Nature taught to them
The simple lessons Of the star and flower,
showed them strange sights; how on single stem
Admire the mRrvelS Of Creative POwer!-
Twin apples grew, one sweet, the other sour.
How from the hilltop where our eyes behold
In ranks the plumed and hammered maiks
Range its long columns, in the days OF Old
The live volcano shot its angry hlaze,-
Dead since the shadows OF NOah's watery days
How, when the lightning split the mighty rock,
The spreading fury OF the shaft Was spent;
How the young scion Joined the alien stock,
And when and where the homeless spaTrows went
To pass the winter Of their discoutent.
Scant the gleamings In those years Of desrth;
No Cuver yet had clothed the FOSSIL bones
That sluuht red, waiting ior their secoud births
No Lyell read the legend Of the stones,
Science still pointed TO her empty thrones.
Dreaming of orbs 10 ewes Of earth unknown.
HerSchcl looked heavenward in the starlight pale;
L9st ~ tl'os awful depths he tre,i alone.
Eatlacc stood mute before tue lifted soils
while home-bred Hanlbolt trimmed his toy-sinp
sail.
No mortal feet those lOftier heights had gained
Whence the wide realms of nature descryi
In vain their eyes cur longing fathers strained
To scan with wondering gaze the sumulits high
That far beneath their chiidren's footsteps he.
Stnile st their hrst small ventures as we may,
The school-boy's copy shapes the scholars hand
Their grateful memory ills our hearts to-day

A Family Affair.

The Kaffirs hold the doctrine of the
transmigration of souls, and pay the
spirits of their relatives the doubtful
compliment of believing that they
have special affinity for snakes and
serpents. So. when some venomous rep
tile takes up its quarters with family,
in place of killing it, they abandon the
hut to its use. DIR. Norbury tells story
of a missionary who came near to paying
with his life for the delicate considera-
ton of his flock. While officiating at
the communion table he fsncied he
heard a kissing sound. Bringing the
service prematurely to a close, he peeped
below the cloth, and saw one of the most
poisonous snakes in South Africa. His
Pensioners had had their eyes upon 1t
all the time, but had declined to say
anything, from motives of dellcacy.
They thought the snake must be rela-
tive of the clergyman, and would not in
terfere in n family affair.

The Utilizing of the Tide.

A Philadelphia engineer has invented,
it is claimed. machine by which the
power of the tides can be utilized. Mum
erous plans have been proposed for the
accomplishment of this most desirable
end, but only under exceptional cOndi-
tions have they been practical or econom-
ical If tho new device can harness the
tide in an open channel, so as to convert
any considerable portion of the vast
power into working force, the inventor
will rank among the great benfactors of
humanity. Emerson says somewhere:
Hitch your wagon to a star. A device
for utilizing mechanically the fresh tides,
as they sweep along our shores, would
come next to that, since it would enable
us, through converters and carriers of
electricity, to hitch our wagons to the
sun and moon.

Children's Ideas.

The natural philosophy of children is
very interesting; they invent just such
theories of the universe as the wild ma
tions have, with a sweet unconsciousness
that they are originally myths. During
a tremendous thunder storm little fell
low of four year old was overheard ex-
planning to another child that lightning
was just ''red water that runs out of the
clouds, and the thunder ''the noise it
makes when it goes into the ground. "
He lost his courage concerning thunder
in one of the showers, and afterward had
TO be comforted little when one oc-
CURED. One evening, to calm his ap-
prehensions, his father assured him that
the tightening he saw was a great way
of, and told him that if it were near, he
could hear the thunder at once after the
flash, but this time he could notice that
there was quite while between the two.
The boy mused over this a little, and
then queried:
Papa, what makes the thunder speak
so long after it's got through?"
A question which might be asked of
many q public speaker.

OYSTER Dredging.

Consumers of the lucious bivalve have
little idea OF the hardships which attend
the labor of taking oysters from their
COSY beds. 1t would seem that taking
one consideration with another, the
dredger's life is not happy one. A Bal
timore paper gives the following glimpse
of the business:
There Is no occupation in the world
more laborious or productive of pain
than oyster dredging. The brackish
waters of the Chesapeake freeze rapidly
over all shoals and bays when a cold
snap comes. The tolls of the dredger
then become tortures. The method of
taking oysters from the prolific and lin
itless beds of the Chesapeake is simple.
The dredges. which are simply iron
bags with a protecting under-scoop at
tached, are dredged across the oyster
beds by the motion of the vessel, and
are then hauled up by windlasses. When
the dredger Is not working at the wind
lass he is squatted on deck bending over
the oyster heaps, culling them out. The
shells of the oysters are generally COW
cred with a parasitic growth known as
dog stones" The conglomerated Jumps
of oyster growth are broken up with
hammers; shells, "babies," and refuse
are thrown overheard, and the marketa-
BILE oysters are then run into the hold
As fast as the dredges are emptled on
deck their contents must be culled. 1t
is an occupation at best about as inter
esting as breaking stone. When carried
on In n freezing wind exposed to the
frozen spray, with sharp shell edges cut
ting into sore hands, and grit and mud
rubbing into chaps and raw places, II be-
comes torture Hauling at the wind
lass is only better because more active.
Tile skin sticks to the irons In frosty
weather, and the hands stretched down
to grasp the icy, dripping dredges often
leave blood stains where they touch. For
this work the pay ranges from So to $50
a month, with food found.
Thus ii is that the work of q dredger
is looked upon in Maryland as the worst
that can fall to the lot of man. The ex-
treme expression of aversion with a bay
shore darkey is 10 say, II would as lief
dredge as do that.
There is a prevalent belief among the
colored population that pungy captains
kidnap stray darkies who may come into
their reach. 1t certainly is the case that
captains make no inquiry as to where
their hands come from. Shipping mas
ters get two dollars piece for them.
Many poor fellow has walked up from
a drunken stupor to find, to his horror,
that he was down the bay in pungy.
As rule, windlass hands are the poorest
species of tramps. Many of them are
picked up from the brickyard hands who
flock into town after the brick-making
season is over.
