Far in the deep woods solitude,

With broken heart Hlnn" she strays

And underneath the Old beech-tree,
A paradisan cool retreat,
Ger which wild vines creep tenderiy.
Rcclines their dear old trysting seat
Two hearts beat there. One has gone hence.
Two Youthful forms stood side by side,
One blushed In maiden innocence.
The other laughed in boyish pride.
Ann carved the names he loved 10 write
Together ON the old hecch-tree.

A SAMARITAN.

As | scrambled mp the. creaking

wondered what sort Of an adventure
the doctor would have to relate. We
were chance acquaintances; in fact,
had become quite good friends, and |
had crossed the street on purpose 10
have "a chat with him. His name was
Pickering. he was a down-Easter like

hearted. though nature had been chary
OF her outward adornments in his

not the latest fashion by any means, but
il looked professional for all that. and
iayland being small place, could not

How Rivers Stick to Their Beds.

1t may be interesting to trace the be-
havior of a stream under these trying
circumstances, when mountain-range
rises to dispute its path. We are not
here concerned with those mountains
which have arisen suddenly, by catas-
trophic action, but only with such as
have been slowly evolved. In the
former case, rivers. like all other natu-
raj features. share in the general over
turning and destruction. When an
elevation commences gradually across
the course Of a river, its first effect is
TO lessen the rapidity of the current
above the crest of the elevation and to
increase it below that point. The erosive
power of a stream is proportional, other
things being equal, TO the rapidity of its
current. Erosion is therefore more
rapid below the crest. But this erosion
not only deepens the bed of the stream
below the crest, but also pares away the
crest, from downstream upward, so
that the point where the velocity of the
stream changes is constantly tending up
stream. This point, then, will always
be found above. j. e.. upstream from
the crest of the obstacle. The degree of
obstruction which this rising mass will
afford TO the stream depends. not at all
ON the absolute height to which it may
rise, but to the degree of rapid
ity of its rise as compared
with the erosive power of the
stream. If the rate of rise be greater
than the erosive power at first, it forms
a temporary dam, and a lake is produced
above the obstacle. which increases in
depth until sufficient fall is given to
the stream to enable it TO cut at the
same rate at which the range rises.
Then equilibrium is established. and the
cutting goes on at the same rate rs the
range increases in elevation. When
the rise ceases. the lake is gradually
drained in whole or in part. rs the river
gradually cuts away the dam by moving
its crest upstream. a diversion of the
stream can only occur by reason of a
new channel being. made accessible by
the rise of water back of the dam.
Such. in brief, is the conduct of a
river when its course is ir danger from
the rise Of mountain-range across it.
1t may be added that the many exam
pies before Us show that in nearly every
ease the river has had little trouble in
saving its way through them. Days
have seldom risen to very great height,
nor have lakes collected to great depths.
