One of Natures Wonders.

A remarkable freak of nature is founI
among the hills of Delaware Co., n. Y,
in a sunken Jake covering about three
acres of surface, which lice between two
parallel ridges not far from New York,
Ontario a. Western Railroad. The whole
surface of the lake is covered with
thick growth of moss, whose stems ex-
tend to an unknown depth, but certainly
further than the arm can reach. Each
tuft of the moss is of different color
from its ncighbor, so that the surface
looks like that of beautiful colored cur
pet. In walking over the vclvety SUR
face the foot sinks down few inches
without oncountering tho water, which Is
at least two feet below the surfncs.
Near the shore, in few places, the water
comes to the top. The buried pond Is a
wonderful natural curiosity. --[Detroit

II was Saturday night, near the close OF IN
year,
And the glass stood at twenty or so;
The wind moaned without In manner mos
drear
Over i've or six inches Of snow.
BY the stove sat the parson, with visags
severe;
The dog lay asleep in it's glow.
"oh, dearl" said the parson. with deepening
frown,
This lifss but wearisome jog,
Six hundred a year, and from rich Deacon
Brown
An occasional gift Of logl
/ must curtail expenses" and here he looked
down
At the slumbering form OF the dog.
''Rover's pretty well worn, from his ears to
his tail,
Though time to his teeth has been kind;
have tried hard to lose him, each time but
to fail
From Jamaica his home he could findl

For he's lazy and old and half blind"
He finished his sermon-''Contentmen the
theme,
One of which many grumbiers are fond.
"Yes, I'll do it," he said. "'tis desperate
scheme,
But he's grown my poor income beyond;
He's psnchant for eggs and cold mutton
and cream,
So tomorrow he goes in the pondl"
In the morning the parson, who rose with
| the dawn,
Took his coffee and bit Of cold pork,
While the dog asked for breakfast, with
looks most iorlorn.
As plainly as though he could talk;
But funeral meats are for those left to
mourn,
So his master suggested walk.
With his sermon and Bible, his hat and his
stick,
couple OF bricks in his coat,
And shoe lace of leather, as strong and as
thick
he led the procession, with stride long and
quick,
To the pond with its primitive boat.
Aim Of young ice stretched from bank unto
bank.
Cold spot for poor Rover to sleepl
His dear masters" face seemed SO kind and
SO frank
That he entered the boat with leap;
Then the parson pulled out. with the aid of
plank,
To place that Aas fearfully deep.
When the bricks were produced DER the coun-
try was sent
Such blood freezing sort of q yell
That his pitiless heart seemed about to re-
lent,
But he managed his qualms to dispel,
"Gooverl" he said, and Ego over" he went,
But the boat topped over as well
Like a fisherman's sinker the clergyman
sank
With terrible cry OF alarm
That brought Deacon Brown in astonsh-
ment blank
With all haste ron the neigh boring farm,
Who wondered to see wet dog on the bank
Intoning the fortieth psalm.
Bnt the boat topsy turvy threw light on the
case,
Brown stood DER the dog in trice;
Still claspiDg his neck in it's cruel embrace
Was that evil in attended device.

And lie sobbed like child when the old dea-

But for Rover he'd surely been drowned.
Then they ssng sweet hymn, in which Ro-
ver's voice led
In a rich Aiapason Of sound.
When they asked for the sermon the parson
