Mr.. Bakewell, an eminent English
geologist. gave personal attention to the
problem as early as 1880, and, from
everything he could learn at that time,
estimated that the falls had receded
about hundred and twenty feet in the
forty years preceding. He recurred to
the problem again in lS46, 1851, 1856,
and was each time confirmed in the be-
lief that the apex of the horseshoe fall
was receding on an average three feet a
year. On the other hand, Sir Charles
Lyell, upon his first visit, in lS4l.
conceived" upon what basis he does
not tell us) that, at the utmost, the rate
could not be more than foot year,
which would give us thirty-five thous-
and years as the minimum time. But,
as it appears, the result of the recent
survey is to confirm the estimate of
MIR. Bakewell, thus bringing the period
down to about seven thousand years.

Drives oil with its splendor the darkness
Of night;
Where the rich hanging velvet in shadowy
fold,
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimmings
Of gold;
Where mirrors of silver take on and renew,
In long lighted yistas the wildetlng view
Go there in your patches and find II You

A welcome smile for tho Moneyless Mani
Go look to yon Judge, in the dark flowing
gown,
with the scale wherein law weighs equity
down;
Where be frowns on the weak and smiles
on the strong,
And Furnishes right while he Jusiiies
wrong;
Where Jurors their lips on the Bible have
laid,
To render a verdict they We already made {;
Go there, in the courtroom, aud find If you

Where, safe from the clutch of the starving

Lie piles upon piles Of the glittering ore {:
Walk up to the counter; all there you
may stay,
Till your limbs grow old and your hair
turns gray,
And you'll find at the bank not one Of the

With money to lend to a Moneyless Man.

she is being courted. That ac-
counts for the fact that a great
many Of them permit themselves
to be courted by men who have no
right to do such a thing. They
like the gallantrics Of courtship,
the playful words OF suitor, his
constant animation, his hundreds OF
small compliment, his readiness
and agility in extending his hand
whether it is needed or not, his
inspiratiOnal conversation, his
selfsacrifce and unvarying deyO-
ton. Heaven, what is there a
man will not do when he is IN love ?
What else will drive him to such
lengths of brilliancy and daringf
1t is then he becomes the cock

plumage, struts about in his great
est glory and reaches the most
beautiful perfection of his nature.

Of Course They Were.

The passengers for some time
had been regarding the affectionate
gestures of a young couple who oc-
cupied a seat near the centre oil
the car. 1t was evident that they
loved each other to death, and the
bold glitter in the fellows eye IN
dicated that when a dark tunnel
came along he was going to Dite
the dimple in the girls cheek.
Just then the train stopped at a
station, and the incoming passen-
gers speedily found seats, saving
two ladies who came in late to find
themselves occupying a stand up
ticket. They stopped just behind
the seat of the loverlike couple,
and glanced hesitatingly about for
a vacant pew. Then one OF the
ladies softly said:
'They seem engaged
The loverlike couple separated
like a fash, and the girl, with a
very red face, angrIly retorted;
'Of course we are; you don't

passengers took it all in, and there
was burst of applause that stopped
