Abby Folsom was speaking throughout
New England, and she was present on
the occasion referred to. We had been
having an exciting time Of it in giving

of southern slavery, and as others were
present who did not endorse anti-slavery

a negro on the platform also, and he
wanted to speak, but didn't have an op.
portunity as yet. All at once, during a
brief lull, some one in the back part Of
the hall shouted at the top Of his voice:
Mr.. Speaker Mr.. Speakerl / have
only a word to say. / want that negro
to shave Burleigh and make wig for
Garrison The whole house immedi-

which had seemed imminent, and good
humor was restored" As Mr.. Whittier

History of a Wen Known Song.

How many of the myriads who in
childhood have sung "There is happy
land, far, far away" knew anything of
its writer? His name is Andrew Young,
and he is now eighty years of age, still
mentally and physically vigorous, and
retaining in all its early freshness his
sympathy with children. The hymn was
composed in 1888. The tune to which 10
is married is an old Indian air, which
blended with the music Of the woods in
the primeval forest long before Sunday
schools were thought of. The hymn was
composed for the melody. Its bright
and strongly marked phrases struck Mr..
Young's musical ear the first time he
heard it casually played in the drawing
room, He asked for it again and again.
1t haunted him. Being accustomed to
relieve the clamor Of his thoughts and
feelings in rhyme, words naturally fol-
lowed, and 30 the hymn was created. II

Putrefaction In the Depths of tho Sea.

Putrefaotion In the Depths OF tho Sea-
DR.. Regnard has raised the question as
to whether corpse which sinks to a
very great depth is preserved indefinitely
or otherwise from putrefaction. Accord
ing to his researches published in the
archives of the Biological Society OF
Paris. putrsfaction docs not take place
ia incompatible substances submitted to
. pressure Of 500 to TOO atmospheres.
These figures correspond to a depth Of
5000 to 1000 meters at sea From these
experiments It must not be concluded,
according to Dr.. Regnard, that there is
total sbssnos 81 rutrsfaeation in the
greater depths OF the sea- The curious
ably small fshss discovered in the Chal-
lenger and other expeditions appear to
rise after death, SO that they are some
times found on the surface, though as
rule they go to pieces as the surrounding
pressure diminishes, long before they
reach the air. Still there is no proof that
bathybial or abysmal micro-organisms
do not exist, and, if 50, they could cause
decomposition in the corpses Of men as
we'll as in the dead bodies Of abysmal
fishes The question is of considerable
medico-legal, and yet greater biological,
interest, and il is far from settled.

the beauty of the relation between child
rem of the same parents, as it has existed
among certain noble souls. George Eliot
has written:
sand were another childhood world my share
would be born a little sister there"
and doubtless many woman who has
learned the delights of that relation
could echo the wish.
The idol and hero of Caroline Herschel,
the famous astronomer, was her brother
William, who took her from dull, I'M
satisfying life, and gave her share in
his own pursuits. A woman of great
mental ability, she was ready to turn
her mind in any direction where he could
be best served, and though her untiring
industry gave her q high. place among
astronomers, she always insisted that she
only minded the heavens" for her

as this lived Charles and Mary Lamb,

constant and loving service to her. So
dependent was she upon him that one

Dorothy Wordsworth renounced all
