A Beautiful T.ibutt 10 Woman's Lare

A Beautiful Tribute To Woman's Lave.
Of al. the passions womsn's ;
love is the holiest and purest

+hat blooms alike in Sunshine and

the city's streets, clirging to him
amid it all, though her pure
white brow be suifused with

Is different. He may love fondly,
and, as he thinks, devotedly, yet
his love is subject to many tenn

toy with beauty whenever he can,

who, in thought, word and deed,
is as traa TO him as the needle to

in what they term "a slight tllrta-

attachment for some pure, gentle
woman, accompany her constant

for the time being give her every
attention that is required Of
profess@l lover, then all of sud

This is dishonorable, ungsntl5-

by lot of ancient books in an old-book

that evening l recollected that l had

which had been erased We studied
at it for some time when we deciphered
To my dear wife Julia from her hus-

inscription my wife took the book from
me and deciphered the same words.
Then she looked at the binding and
burst into tears.

%, toilerin lifes weary ways,
Pity thyself, for thou must tire;
Both body. mind and heart have days
They can not answer their desire.
Birds in all seasons do not sing,
Flowers have their time to bloom and fall;
There is not any living thing
Can answer to a ceaseless call.
Sometimes, tired head. seek slumber deep;
Tired hands, no burden try to lift:
Tired heart, thy watch let others keep,
Pity thyself and let life drift
A few hours rest perchance may bring
Relief from WEAKNESS and pain;
And thou from listless languOrs spring,
And gladly lift thy work again.

sequent Value to Mariners.
1 know from personal experience
that saline fluid does, under certain
circumstances, percolate or filtrate
dOscn,oard, converting sea-ice, previ-
ously saline, into a sufficiently fresh
state to afford good drinking-water
when thawed. This discovery, like
good many others of more Importance,
was accidental. In passing Q piece of
old ice-that is, of former years
formation which was known to be so
by its wasted and rugged outline, as it
stood some feet above the surrounding
level ice-hoe-I knocked a small piece
off, and putting it into my mouth found
it quite fresh. From that time, during
sledge journeys one thousand, two hun
dred miles in the spring of 1847, I
looked out for some old rough ice, be-
fore building our snow hut for the
nights shelter, so as to get water
quickly. Experience had taught me
that kettleful of water could be OBJ
tanned much more rapidly and at far
less waste of fuel by thawlng ice than
from snow, because the latter. how
ever closely packed, contained much
air, which at temperature of zero or
lower. required extra fuel to warm it
up to SO degrees Fahrenheit; a kettle
full Of snow will give little more than
third Of kettleful of water, while the
same measure Of ice will nearly all tho
