Owing to the burial of stones and other
objects by the action of worms. ancient
monuments, portions Of Roman villas, and
other objects Of antiquity have been pre-

by the worms, and so preserved from the
destructive effect of rain and wind. Many
Roman remains were studied by Darwin
and traces of the action of worms found
to which action their preservation was
mainly due The sinking Of the founda-
tons of many old buildings is due to the
action of worms and no building is safe
from this unless the foundations are laid
lower than the level at which worms can
work, viz, about eight feet below the sur
face
Another useful effect produced by worms
is the preparation of the soil for the growth
of seedlings By their agency the soil is
periodically sifted and exposed to the air,
and in this way is able to retain moisture
and absorb soluble substances of use for
the nutrition of plants. Moreover, bones
are buried by the castings and brought

The earthworm is thus seen to be one

THE OLD SLIPPER.


Be- capt luck Cfa1cjofd the Eoet-ScOm.
| love to reflect ON the sweet days of childhood,
When fond recollection parades them in sight,
When careless / played III the old Eastern wild
wood,
Or sat by the brooklet awaiting bite.
And oft from the old country school I'd play truant
The anger of parents I'd reck lessly dare
And then would feel in a manner most fluent
That old cowhide slipper my ma used to wear.
That heavyweight slipper the doublesold slipper,
That back-action slipper my ina used to wear
w. rassled with measles, I've had yaller janderS
And mumps pulled Inc up till wished Iwasdead'
I've felt the keen pain when neuralgy meanders
on feet shod with torture through neck ana
through head.
But in their sharp anguish and terrible torture
Not one of these maladies e'er could compare
With that old relentless and merciless scorcher,
The old cowhide slipper my ina used to wear
That heavyweight slipper that doube-soled slip
per,
That back-action slipper my ma used to wear.
E'c1 now since I'VE got to the age of discretion,
The DAYS of my childhood are often called back,
For oft as I stroll on some errand or mission
Nv ears are saluted with whack after whack.
From some humble cottage those whackS so aycng-
ing,
Attended with inantile shrieks fill the air
Till almost instructive feel myself scringing
Beneath that old slipper my ma used to wear.
That old cowhfde slipper that double soled slipper
That back-action slipper my ma used to wear.
