Bow of the Burning Deck.

Few but know the very pretty pie ce
of poetry by Mrs. Hemans, ''Casabi-
anca," commencing ''The boy stood
on the burning deck. The poetess
states that the lad was the son of the
admiral commanding the flagship
L'Orient, which took fire and exploded;
that young Casabianca persisted in the
explosion, refusing to quit the position
allotted him by his father, pending the
battle of the Nile. have been looking
into the Official account of the incident.
The admiral was Brueys, who was
wounded in the head and hand early
in the action. He continued to give
orders until cut in two by a cannon
ball; he uttered the request to be al
lowed to expire on deck, which he did
in the course of some minutes.
Citoyen Casabianca, the father Of
the poetic hero, then took command;
his son was MILDLY, but only aged
ten, not thirteen. At that period lads
entered the navy very young. Casabi-
anca was also deputy. Pending the ac-
ton his son was by his side; the father
was MORALLY wounded in the head by a
splinter and became insensible; he
gave no injunctions to his son, but the
latter would not the less quit his
wounded parent. BY this time the ship
was on fire. Several of the sailors had
left and saved themselves on spars till
picked up by the English boats. Aided
by the purser young Casabianca and
his father were lowered down by a
piece of a mast floating by. but they
had only got short distance from the
120-gun Orient when she blew up, and
nothing more was seen of the Casabi-
ancas.

Was that Young, faithful heart"

A Winter Walk.

The crisp snow crackles briskly
under ones step, and there is a brac-
ing Jingle in the frosty air-an elixir
of life only less potent than the tradi-
tional Fountain of YOUTH
Snowbanks have taken the place of
messy ones, and the music of the
brook, which few months ago wove
its way shining thread through sun
ny meadows and shadowy woods, is
almost hushed; it's fitting, restless
beauty has flown, and it lies silent and
fettered in its steel like suit of icy
armor, excepting, where down the
middle, between the ragged edges of
the thin ice, tiny stream still glides
along over the bright pebbles and
tufts of long green grass which lie at
the bottom; and with its low gurgle
whispers of its past loneliness and
hopes of a future resurrection.
The forests too have gained differ
emit beauty. For now the delicately
wrought fret-work of interlacing
branches which the trees rear against
the light blue of the wintry sky, rival
in clear, distinct beauty their wealth
of summer drapery. But for scene
of fairy-like splendor, visit the woods
on one of those sunny mornings which
often succeed a storm, and you will
be rewarded by sights which far out
shine Aladdin's palace in glittering
bewilderment.
The sunlight reflected back from the
shimmering snow beneath, dances
through every ice cased branch and
twig. till they sparkle in dazzling
liquid light as if strung with gems.
Surely, magician's touch has
transformed them over night; for here
are lofty columns and graceful arches
of shining crystal, where before stood
simple saplings with their wild grape
vine drapery; and there, an unsightly
weed overgrown stump has metamor.
phosed into fairy palace, exquisitely
wrought of .labaster and diamonds. :

Scientific VS.. Theological Methods.

The conclusion of the whole matter
appears to be this: that there is moth
ing to be gained by trying to read old
theology into new science. It may be,
as Mr.. Fiske affirms, that the found a.
ton of Christian theology have not
been shaken-no one needs to be dog
matte on that point-but, as theology
is a matter of revelation and science a
matter of observation, it is well to
keep the two as separate as possible.
The method of science is gradual
method; little by little we widen the
circle of our knowledge; little by little
we improve our hypotheses. Theology
makes from the first the most compre-
hensive statements, and offers solu-
tons of the profoundest problems. To
apply, therefore, the dicta or the gen
eral conceptions of theology to the
province of science is to run much
risk of injuring the work of science by
the forcing of premature conclusions;
admitting that theology has nothing
to teach that is positively erroneous.
That loyalty to truth so fittingly refer
red to by the author requires us to
content ourselves with such conclus-
ions as we can reach by lawful appro-
pirate methods. If we see law of
natural selections at work, let us try
to get as clear an understanding as
possible of the manner of its workings;
but let us be very careful how we per-
sonify it, and how we impute to our
personifcation feelings and purposes
which correspond with nothing in the
facts as we know them. Nothing
could be more opposed to the human
idea of 'work'' than the process of
natural selection as described by our
author himself, yet he constantly
speaks of the "work" of natural selec-
ton. He tells us that Gin the desper-
ate struggle for existence no pecul-
iarity has been too insignificant for
natural selection to seize and enhance;
just as if natural selection were some
vigilant intelligence watching for OPP
portunities to advance its designs.
The same fact which is thus expressed
in, as l think. isleading metaphorical
language could have been expressed in
honest prose by saying that sin the
desperate struggle for existence no
popularity was too insignificant to
contribute to survival or destruction,
as the case might be- There we have
the fact without any illegitimate i'm
plications; and it is thus, as it strikes
Inc, that scientific facts should be de-
scribed. Popular Science Monthly for

should be, we will say, business man
in one of our great cities--a generous
manipulation of millions, some of which
have adhered to his private fortunes
in spite of his liberal use of his means.
His heir, our ideally placed American,
shall take possession of the old house,
the home of his earliest memories.
and preserve it sacredly, not exactly
like the Santa Casa, but, as nearly as
may be, Just as he remembers it. He
can add as many acres as he vii to the
narrow house lot. He can build a
grand mansion for himself, if he choos-
es, in the not distantant neighborhood.
But the old house, and all Immediately
round it, shall be as he recollects it
when he had to stretch his little arms
up to reach the door-handles. Then,
having well provided for his own
household, himself included, let him
become the providence of the village
or town where he finds himself during
at least portion of every year: Its
schools, its library, its poor--and per-
haps the new clergyman who has sue
ceeded his grandfather successor
may be one of them-all its interests,
he shall make his own. And from
this center his beneficence shall radi-
ate so far that all who hear of his
wealth shall also hear Of him as a
friend to his race.
Is not this a pleasing programme?
Wealth is steep hill, which the father
climbs slowly and the son often
tumbles down precipitately; but there
is a table-land continuous with it,
which may be found by those who do
not lose their head in looking down
from It's sharply-cloven summit. Our
dangerously rich men can make them
selves hated, held as enemies of the
race, or beloved and recognized as its
benefactors. The clouds of discomfort
are threatening, but if the gold-pointed
lightning-rods are rightly distributed
the destructive element may be drawn
off silently and harmlessly. For it
can not be repeated too often that the
safety of great wealth with us lies in
obedience to the new version of the
old axiom, Richesse 0blige.
