The Origin of Our Continent

1t is believed by some scientific
men that North America begun its
formation with islands of matter
rising out of the ocean, which grew
until they touched each other.
Many of these islands were vol
canoes that threw up matter that
had formed below the surface of the
water, and were larger below the
water than above it. The Hawaiian
Islands have had many volcanoes,
and We're much formed by them.
The whole area above the sea is no
more than that of the State of Mas
sachusetts, but their combined bases
must be equal to the whole of New
England and New York. Thus the
original islands of this continent
could easily have been made to en-
large and join each other, and the
granite rock so abundant was once
erupted from volcanoes, like flowing
lava. Among the first volcanic
islands must have been Greenland.
Canada, east of Winnipeg, the Allan
tic district, the Rocky Mountains
and the Sierra Nevadas but as the
islands rose and enlarged great de-
pressions would naturally commence
and go on, and in this way the de-
pressions of Hudson's bay, the Mis-
sissippi valley and the Salt Lake and
Nevada basins were burned. These
depressions would eventually he.
come rocks, and the depressions
would have a saucer or platter
shape.

Romance and Reality.

He was rather sentimental, and
he and his friends were in the park.
A little way off two ladies were seat
ed. One of them was very pensivo
and extremely pretty. She was rest
ing her cheek on her hand and her
eyes were full of far-off contemplate
ion. "She is pretty, isn't she ?" said
he; "by Jove, I'm falling in love
with that girl. ! wonder who the
fellow is she's thinking about?
say, wouldn't it be pleasant to think
a pretty girl like that could sit down
and dream about you as she's dream
ing about somebody? Let's walk
past and look at her" So they
walked slowly past. The maiden
was still wrapped in contemplation
and as they passed, her companion
said quite distinctly: Now Emily,
this is all foolishness, Let's 20 tc
Dr. and let him take the tooth
out"
Cowards are scared with threaten

A Flying Machine.
THE INVENTION OF A CLEVER FRENCH
MAN FOR AERIAL NAVIGATION.

4 mechanical engineer at Lyons,
France, claims to have invented
system of aerial navigation based on
principle analogous to that en-
ployed by nature in the flying me-
chanism it has given to birds and
insects, and which is known in me
chanics as "the heavier than the air"
principle. M. Pompeieu Piraud's
flying machine has somewhat the
shape of an enormous bird. 1t is
supplied with pair of great articu-
lated wings, constructed according
to the type presented by the wings
of the heaviest birds of long flight
known, such as the eagle, condor,
stork, wild turkey, etc. Like the
wings of these birds, Piraud divides
the wings of his machine into three
parts, the humerus, the radius and
cabitus, and the head or extremity
of the wing. They are to be set in
motion by steam engine, and are
concave below and convex above.
The exterior part of the wing is fleX-
ible, but still sufficiently rigid to
give that whip-like blow bird gives
with its wings when descending.
The posterior portion is flexible
along its whole extent. Wings are
fastened to the central part of the
machine by cardan, or ball and
socket articulation, and connected
with it by means of the various
levers necessary to give them the va
rious motions desired. When sta
tionary the wings are folded up
against the body Of the machine. If
the levers are moved they open,
spread out, and rise with u motion
like that of a seesaw from back to
front, showing an inclined plane on
the interior surface; then they turn
on their short axis, with a motion
similar to that of the shoulderblade
Of bird in the act of flying, mov-
ing downward and backward; as
the wing descends it describes a
curve from below, backward, and as
it rises it describes another curve
from above, forward, the line it de-
scribes in the air having the form of
the figure s. A rudder which acts
entirely independently of the wings
completes the apparatus, the occu-
pant of which stands or sits on a
support inside the machine, which
is so arranged as to move according
as the centre of gravity is displaced
by the raising or descending motion
of the machine.

The Pearl of Great Price.

Talk not to me of wealth and store,
Of glittering gems or golden ore;
A pearl I've found of richer price,
Like that which grows in Paradise
1t is what Paul apprized SO high,
1t is what one sold all to buy,
1t is Gods love within the heart,
It doth substantial joy impart.
Long time sought, but sought in vain,
Some pure enjoyment to obtain.
ranged the fields of pleasure DER,
But never found such peace before.
To me the sting of death is gone;
The graves divested of its gloom.
view it as a calm retreat,
Where may rest in balmy sleep.
And when the last loud trump shall
sound,
/ shall in triumph leave the ground.
then shall sing in seraph's strain,
In endless day, on Glory's plain.

aught prevents me from saying what

a sentiment of false pride, l must

"But what necessity is there for
this ?" demanded Ellen, with
touch of her old impatience. "Does

not made your future prospects his

Willyou, if you please, speak
palmer, and tell me what you mean
and why you cannot do this ?" ask
ed Ellen with mock gravity "for"
thought she, "he will tell me now
that he loves me-"
Every sentiment which makes Il
man respect himself-every impulse
of honor will tie my tongue forever
on that head. Spare me then, Ellen,
he added mournfully; II cannot
prolong this interview. / am so lit
tie tutored in Disgusting my feelings
that 1 must say I regret this, while
1 trust it will eventually be for the
security ofyour own happiness"
"You love me, Henry-you love
me !" cried Ellen, catching him by
the arm.
Ellen felt that he trembled from
head to foot. She saw that he turn
ed as pale as death; but the firm
compression of those pallid lips told
her that nothing could bring forth
a confession from him. She knew
that his lofty nature cherished a
sense of honor bordering upon the
chivalric. He was silent.
"Must 1, then, speak ?" said Ellen.
''Is the order of things to be revers-
ed ?" And she smiled radiantly.
at is well for my maidenly charac-
ter that Leap year entities ladies to
a privilege which they may use un-
censured; Henry, my dear cousin, I
love youp Must sue in vain?
Willyou not love your pretty cousin
Ellen ?"
The astonishment of the youth
was only equaled by his joy. With
the most unfeigned rapture beam
ing out in every feature, he could
barely articulate her name, "EllenP'
"Well, sir?"
"Are you jesting with me? Dc

cousin Henry, love you," was
her reply. "Will you not love me
in return?"
"Now, and foreverl" exclaimed he,
clasping her to his breast. GAS l
have always fondly loved you"
Then let us go in and see papa,
said Ellen. 81 am sure of his con
sent; and what is more, was of age
yesterday, and no one seem to have
taken the slightest notice of it, so
that if he should be inclined to OBJ

ter bcheld them happily welded
