LINES TO MY BED.

am not changeful in my honest love;
Absent from thee, for thy embrace pine:
Warmer thy bosom than the brooding dove
Nv heart is never cold old bed. to thee,
As oft thy snowy sheets have been to me.
What though linger when the night is new.
And loiter when the starry hours wane,
And midnight pauses ere I come to you.
Throbs thy white breast with any counter
pane?
Too oft am q truant from the nest
Which oft my weary head with JOY hath pressed
But, when the rosy fingered hours Of dawn
Touch with prismatic colors all the sky
Oh, how love theel When the night is gone
How sweet upon thy rest1ul heart to lie,
And nap and doze and snooze TILL peal on peal
Rings the third bell for mornings CHEEKY meal
All. then, how can leave thee, gracious bed?
Health, peace and quiet rest find In thee;
Wrath and defiance hurl I at the head
That would pronounce divorce 'twixt thee
. and me;
NV love for thee, cold as the stars at night,

A LONo-wiNDED ORATOR.

A British Columbian Legislator Speaks foH
TWenty-six Hours.
Long speeches are common. In the
Georgia Legislature. when the ques-
ton of expelling the negro members
was up, Aaron Alpeoria Bradley spoke
four days. The Tichborne trial brought
DR.. Kenealey to the front with a speech
running through 40 days. But these
speakers did not talk continuously.
Adjournments for dinner, and over
night, and for Sunday made their work
easy.
The longest speech on record is prob
ably the one made by Mr.. De Cosmos.
a member of the Legislature of British
Columbia some time ago. A bill was
pending which. if passed, would de-
prive many settlers of their lands, and
the temper of the majority made it
certain that it would pass. The Legis-
lature was within a day and a half OF
the hour of it's final adjournment and
the vote was about to be taken.
At this juncture De Cosmos rose to
address the body. It was ten o'clock
in the morning. and the members
thought that he would finish in an hour
or two. The clock struck eleven,
twelve and one, but the speaker kept
right on.
How long would he speak? The
members in spirit of fun omitted to
adjourn. for dinner, but De Cosmos
spoke on without a break. At six
o'clock he was still on the floor. He
was forced by the Speaker to stick to
the question and was not allowed to
pause except to take a drink of water.
The majority decided to continue
the session through the night, slipping
out in small parties to eat and
sleep. Still, without faltering, the
orator poured forth his torrent OF
words. This was the situation at
midnight, and also when the morning
sun flooded the hall with the light Of
day.
AS the hour hand of the clock
pointed to twelve the limit prescribed
by law for the session had arrived and
the Legislature stood adjourned sine
die. At the last stroke of twelve the
brave De Cosmos stopped in the mid
die of sentence and fell fainting in
his seat.
He had spoken, standing on his feet
twenty-six hours. His eyes were
bleared and red, and his parched lips
were cracked and running blood. He
was nearly dead, but he had prevented
the bill from becoming law and had
saved the settlers their homes.-M Y

UNDERNEATH THE OCEAN.

The Physical and Geological Character OF
the Bottom of the Sea.
At recent meeting of the National
Academy OF. Sciences in New York,
Prof. A. E. Verrill, of Yale College,
described the physical and geological
character Of the sea-bottom off our
coast, especially that which lies be-
meath the Gulf Stream: 1.-THE depths
of the ocean TEEN with life. Sharks
are seen by thousands, and countless
dolphins; but it seems that not a fish
bone is ever dredged up. A piece of
wood may be dredged up once a year,
but it is honeycombed by the boring
shell fish, and falls to pieces at the
touch of the hand. This shows what
destruction is constantly going on in
these depths. If ship sinks at sea
with all on board, it would be eaten by
fish with the exception of the metal,
and that would corrode and disappear.
Not a bone of a human body would re-
main after few days. It is a con-
slant display of the law of the sur
vival of the fittest. Nothing made by
the hand of man was dredged up'after
cruising for months in the track of
ocean vessels excepting coal clinkers
showed overheard from steamships.
As to the quantity of light at the bot
tom of the sea tEerc has been much
dispute. Animals dredged from below
seven hundred fathOms either have
no eyes, or faint Indications of them,
or else their eyes are very large and
protruding. Another strange thing is
that if the creatures in these lower
depths have any color it is of orange
or red Or reddish orange. Sea ane-
mones, corals, shrimp and crabs have
this brilliant color. Sometimes it is
pure red Or scarlet, and in many speci-
mems inclines toward purple. Not a
green or blue is found. The orange
red is the fsh's protection, for the
bluish-green light in the bottom of the
ocean makes the orange or red fish
appear of a neutral tint, and hides it
from it's enemies. Many animals are
black, others neutral In color. Some
fish are provided with boring tails, so
that they can burrow in the mud.
Finally, the surface of the submarine
mountain is covered with shells, like
a sea-beach, showing that it is the eat
ing house of vast schools of carnivor-
GUS animals. A Goldfish takes whole
oyster into its mouth, cracks the shells,
digests the meat, and spits out the
rest. Crabs crack the shells and suck
out the meat. In that way come
whole mounds of shells that are
dredged up. Golden Argosy.
Anthony Trollope once paid a
visit to Toronto after short stay in
Montreal What struck him most
forcibly was the difference in the con-
dition of the streets Of the two cities.
Writing about it afterward he said it
was apparent that the sidewalks after
being worn out in Toronto were foated
down the lake and the st. Lawrence to
Montreal, where they were used again
