Impure Water Frozen.

Even among the more educated CLASSES
there prevails an impression that wen if
water is contaminated it is purified by
freezing. Many experiments, have, how
ever. shown the fallacy of this view. In
some of these made recently by Mr.. {.
p. Pcngra. in American chemist, various
organic matters urea, alhumen, etc.
were mixed with water, and the spccl-
mems were gradually frozen. \ certain
amount of puritication did take place
the ice containing thirty and even forty
per cent. less organic matter than The
unlrozcn liquid. But Il large amount Of
the added pollution remained, and the
investigator. though expressing surprise
that the publication had been as great as
if was, says that the experiments afford
abundant proof that we ought not to
tolerate the indiscriminatc collection Of

THE EVERGREENS.

We watch far lovelier lives than ours
The sun fed fruits, the brilliant flowers,
The summer graham affluent sight!
The woodland blossoms red and white
And when the leaves are dim and old
Autumn's rare recompense of gold!
All growths that gladden. field and wood,
By us are rightly understood;
For are they not our kindred, though
They perish in the frost and snow:
We watch their fleeting joys and fears
We who outlive the lapse of years,
To front old Winters frowning gloom,
With potent prophecies Of bloom!
We are the vaSSals of the Spring
Whose sacred promises we bring
To make Earth's bosom less f~orlorn,
Through faith in foliage yet unborn.

SOME DAY.
Some day I shall be dead,
Some day this tired head,

Some day I shall be dead,
Some day this tired head, d.
With all the anxious thoughts 1t now doth

Shall be laid low.
This body, pain-racked, Ill,
Shall lie at length, and still,
Under the clover and the wind-swept grass,
Nor hear you pass.
That were, indeed, strange sleep,
When ever you might weep,
And come, and go-even you-unheard OF me
As bird or bee.
Nay, sweetheart, nay! believe
Here is no cause to grieve.
One so wayworn, of trouble so opprest,
Is glad Of rest.
Perchance, when that release
Hath wrought its spell Of peace,
Ger this unquiet heart, long vext with woe,
Heart's-ease may grow.
Who loves me will not weep
When that I lie asleep,
But rather joy to think such sorrow may
Have end some day.
