A YEAR AGO TO-DAY.

A year aRo to-day, my love.

Seemed moro than could bear.
The past Was all so fraught with pain,
Tho present dim with woe,
The future looked so dark to mo
One little year ago.

In silence. all alone;
No friend to chcor with kindly word.
No hand to clasp nay own;
No dream or hope Of light or love
To bless my shadowed way.
Ah, welli IT'S said: '.Tho darkest hour
Is Just before the day"
&c. when my deepest night had come.
And life was well-nigh gone.
Heavens own kind care sent you. my deas,
To herald in tho dawn.
Tho tender touch Of loves own hand
Rent every cloud away,
And Heaven swung dazzling down 70 mo
Ayear ago to-day.
And now those gentle eyes Of blue
Look lovingly in mine;
And strong. brave hands, with kindly clasp
My trembling ones entwine;
And onward now. with happy heart,
1wslk life's Joyous way,
And bless the boon which came TO me

WALKING FISHES.

Denizcns OF tho Deep Who Initiate Mans
Movements.
It may seem absurd to speak OF fishes
as walking. The Aying-fsh is well
known, but it's fight looks much like
swimming in tho air. We naturally
think of fishes as living all the time in
water, as being incapable, in fact, Of
living anywhere else. But nature main
tains no hard and fast lines of distinc-
ton between animal life which belongs
on the land and that which belongs to
the water. If we can believe the ac-
counts Of naturalists-and there arc
no grounds for doubling them-there
are fishes that traverse dry land and
others that walk on the bottom OF the
sea.
1t is reported that Dr. Francis Day,
Of India, has collected several instances
Of the migration Of fishes by land from
one piece of water to another. Layard
once met some perch-likc fishes travel
ing along a hot and dusty gravel road
at midday. Humboldt saw species OF
dorus leap;ng over the dry ground. sup
ported by its pectoral fins; and he was
told of another specimen that had
climbed hillock twenty feet in height.
A French naturalist published in the
"lTanSACt1OnS OF UQe L1nnfpStu SoClSIy
of Normandy" 1912, an account OF his
observations on the am mbulatory move
mcnts Of the gurnard at the bottom OF
the sea. He observed these movements
in one Of the artificial sea-ponds or fish,
ing-traps, surrounded by nets. on the
shore Of Normandy.
He saw a score of gurnard close their
fins against their sides like the wings
of fly in repose, and, without any
movement of their tails, walk along
the bottom by means of six free rays,
three on each pectoral fin, which they
placed successively on the ground
They moved rapidly forward and
backward, to the right and left, CROP
ing in all directions with these rays, as
if in search of small crabs Their great
heads and bodies seemed to throw hard
ly any weight on the slender rays, or
feet, being suspended in water, and
having their weight further diminished
by their swimming bladders.
When the naturalist moved in tho
water the fish swan away rapidly to
the extremity of the pond; when he
stood still they resumed their walking
and came between his legs.
On dissection the three anterior rays
on each pectoral fin are found to be
supported each with strong muscular
apparatus to direct it's movements.
apart from the muscles that are con-
nected with the smaller rays of the
