Tho Telegram, "Is this the te1'l;•ram office ?" • Asked a childish voice one day, As I noted the click of my instrument, With its message from tar away, As it ceased, I turned; at my elbow Stood the merest scrau of a boy, Whose childish face was all aglow With the light of a hidden joy, The golden curls on his forehead ' Shaded eyes of the deepest blue, As if a bit of the summer sky Had. lost in thein its hue, ,They scanned my office rapidly, From ceiling down to floor. Then turned en me their eager gaze, As he asked the question o'er. '"Is this the tel'^ram office?" "It !s, my little man," I said, "Pray tell me what you want, And I'll help yon if I can. Then the blue oyes grew more eager, And the breath came thick and fast ; .And I saw within the chubby hands A folded paper grasped. '•Norse told me.', he said, "that the lightning Came down on the wires some day; And my mamma has gone to heaven, And I'm lonely since she's away; ,For my papa is very busy, And hasn't much ttme for me, :So 1 thought I'd write her a letter, And r've brought it for you to see. ."I've printed it big, so the angels Could read out quick her name .And carry it straight to my mamma, And. tell her how it came ; And now, won't you please to take it, And throw it up good and strong Against the wires in a funder shower, And the lightning will take it along ?" Ah? what could I tell the darling ? For my eyes were filling fast; I turned away to hide my tears, But I cheerfully spoke at last. "I'll do. the best I can my child," 'Twas all that I could say, "Thank you," he said then scanned the sky, "Do yon think it will funder to -day 2" :But the blue sky smiled in answer, And the sunshine dazzling bright; And his face, as he slowly turned away, Lost some of its gladsome light. '"But nurse," he said, "if I stay so long, Won't let me come any more; SSo, good-bye; I'll come and see you again, Right after a funder shower." That Wonderful Baby Boy.

A prize of one guinea recently offered .for the most amusing "bull" has been awarded for the following specimen: A. certain politician, lately condemning -the Government for their recent policy concerning the to h ave said : "They'll keee p cuttireported is the wool off the sheep that lays the golden egg until they pump it dry." Below are some of the best competitions -sent in: Extract from a speech made at a meet- ing to promote total abstinence: "Tho glorious work will never be accomplished until the good ship Temperance shall sail from one end of the land to the other, and with a cry of 'Victory !' at each step she takes shall plant her banner in every ity, town and village in the United Kingdom." An Irishman, in the midst of a tirade against landlords and capitalists, declared that "if these men were landed on an un- inhabited island they wouldn't be there ..elf and hour before they would have their hands in the pockets of the naked •savages." Only a few weeks ago, a lecturer at a big meeting gave atterance`to the follow- ing : "All along the untrodden paths of the future we can see the hidden foot- prints of an unseen" hand." "We pursue the shadow, the bubble bursts, and leaves the ashes in our hands lsr One of the regulations of the West 'Boston Bridge Company reads "-And the said proprietors shall meet annually on the first Tuesday In Tune, provided the same does not fall on. a Sun- day." An orator at one of theuniversity unions bore off the palm of merit when he declared "the "the British lion, Whether it is roaming the deserts of In- dia or climbing the forests of Canada, will not draw in As horns nor retire into its cell." A Word of Advice. - We say to young men, Do not touch strong drink; it is a poison to the body and the soul. The clanger of the drink habit is far greater than you can know. You may see no danger in the drink habit. We do, and earnestly warn you of it. Thepath you propose to travel seems smooth and fair to you, but you may find it, as millions of men and wo- men have, treacherous as the quicksands upon the seashore, which swallow up all who tread upon them, leaving no trace behind. Prosperity' Cannot Exist Away From Virtue. r. To a truly conscientious mind the variety of creeds set forth and stoutly advocated by the different church organi- zations is confusing, and has a tendency to produce in the minds of men an un- certainty as to the right path, or, in other words, skepticism. Yet, if he would.but stop and think for a moment, he would see that these janglings and wranglings are but on the surface and spring from the infinite variety of the human mind, which will ever adopt a creed to suit its own turn of thought. It is the solid core which underlies every Christian creed which is of importance. How this or that text should be construed is of no mo- ment, however warm men may get over it. What is of the greatest moment is that every man should have a good and solid reason for living a simple and cleanly life; this the Christian creed has given us. I would not have you be virtuous out of fear. The experience of a long life has taught me, however, that sin is always punished in this world, whatever may come in the next. There is always some penalty in health, in comfort, or in peace of mind, to be paid for every wrong. It is with nations as with individuals. A book of history is a book of sermons. See how the luxurious Babylonians were de- stroyed by the frugal Persians, and how the same Persians, when they kad learn ed the vice of prosperity, were put to the sword by the Greeks. Markhowthe suc- cessful Greeks were trodden by the more robust and hardy Romans, and finally how the Romans, having lost their manly virtue, were subdued by the nations of the north. Vice and destruction come ever hand in hand. Providence uses each in turn as a scourge to chastise the sins and follies of the other. These things do not come by chance; they are part of a great system which is at work in our lives. The longer we live the more we will see that sin and sadness are never far apart, and that no true prosperity can exist away from virtue. Little by Little. Live alertly and earnestly. Keep con- stantly before your minds that you are not here merely to eat and drudge and amuse yourself and sleep. Let each day record in your experience some thought worth thinking, some deed worth doing. Resolutely persevere in this course and little by little your whole nature will ex- pand and develop, into higher quality and power. Sabbath Beeping. It is really sad to think how the good old custom of keeping the Sabbath is dying out in Christian lands. Even Chris- tians, devout and earnest in other re- spects, have doubts on this subject. Is it not simple just to follow the instructions given us in the Word of God ! Some peo- ple say : "The Bible says one must not work on Sunday: however, going to con- certs and other places of amusement is not working and we ought to be merry on the Lord's day." These people have forgotten that God's command does not only say, "On the Sabbath day thou shalt do no manner of work," but also, "Re- member the Sabbath day to keep it holy," and that is put first. Of course there are some amusements which cannot be deemed unholy, such as walking in God's beautiful world, when every sight and sound reminds us of Him. Another argument might perhaps be heard, thus : "This Sabbath keeping was part of the old dispensation, but we belong to the new." Christ has said : "Think not that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." How to Speak to Children. The usual was of managing children is by corporal punishment, deprivations of some desired luxury or favor or by re- wards addressed to the senses, and by words alone. There is another means of government, the power and importance of which are seldom regarded. We refer to the human voice. By its tones animals are governed; horses, cattle, dogs and even cats are controlled by its power and influence. A few words uttered in a soft tone are found to possess a magic in- fluence ; and harsh, cross tones, although the words may not be of their nature, rasp the mind and heart of the hearer. A. blow may be inflicted on a child, ac- companied with words so uttered as to en- tirely counteract its effect ; or the parent may use language during the correction of his child not objectionable in itself, yet spoken in such tones that the influence of the punishment is utterly defeated. The baby in the cradle recognizes the power of the voice. If harshly spoken to, its lips will quiver and tears will flow. It cannot discern the meaning of the words ,that are uttered, but its heart is touched and hurt by tones of the voice. Many persons laugh at the so-called "baby talk," but the little one jumps and crows when it hears the low, soft tones and words. Is this influence confined to the cradle? No, indeed; every one feels it, recognizes it, and it does not cease while the child remains at home. Doss your boy grow rude in manner and bois- terous in speech? Then speak to him gently reprimand him in tender tones with loving words and caresses. She who speaks to her son harshly does but give to his behaviour sanction of her example and heaps fire on the already flaming pas- sion and temper. When cares oppress and duties crowd- us, we are all liable to utter hasty words ;. perhaps threats are expressed in loud, ir- ritating tones. *Do they allay the passion of the • child, already at a, white heat ? No, they increase them. Every fretful expression you utter, but awakensin him the same spirit which produced it On the other hand,a pleasant voice and soft words call up agreeable feelings, soften the heart, and Shako the angry, passion- ate .ehild ashamed of himself. Therefore, remember this, mothers and fathers Whateverdisposition you desire to en- courage in your children, you must mani- fest it in the tone of voice in which you address thorn. Building His Own Collin. The late, Earl of Essex was buried in a coffin of oak, designed twelve years ago by the deceased nobleman himself, who was a prominent member of the Funeral Reform Association. ' It had what is called "open trellis work" around it, and was filled with choice herbs and ever- greens. Maybe the originator of the fashion was Lord Nelson, who used to keep standing upright in the cabin of the Victory a coffin that an admirer had pre- sented to him one birthday anniversary,. and in this coffin his lordship's remains were at last put to rest. Selling Hearts at Auction. A curious advertisement has lately- been atelybeen inserted in the daily papers : "A Dauphin's heart, 1792, to be sold by auc- tion or privately disposed of." This can only refer to the unhappy son of Louis XVI., and before I became its purchaser would require a good deal of proof as to its genuineness. The human heart was at one time a not uncommon legacy, and since, in addition to its sentimental as- sociations, it was generally enclosed in a golden casket, it was found acceptable to legatees. But the most curious' coincid- ence connected with the subject is, that the hearts of those great rivals, Edward I. and Robert Bruce, were both designed by their possessors on their deathbeds, for the Holy Sepulcher. Edward charged his son to accompany it to Palestine with 140knights, and left £2,000 of silver for the expenses of the expedition. He also pro- nounced eternal damnation on him who should spend the money on any other purpose ; but his, son took no notice of the bequest, and pocketed the coin. Bruce's heart, as we all know, started on its journey in custody of his faithful friend, Sir James Douglas, who carried it in a salver casket round his neck. Be- ing overpowered by the Moors in Spain, he threw it before him, exclaiming : "Pass on as thou were wont ; I will fol- low," which he did to his death. Bruce's heart was borne to Scotland, and deposited beneath the altar in Melrose Abbey. Negro Sold on the Block. At Fayette, Mo., a negro was sold on the block. This is the second sale of the sort since the close of the war, and both took place under the vagrancy law, which provides sale for a limited period. A Fayette dispatch says : The victim was George Winn, a lazy negro, who lived at Glasgow, Speed county, and who for several years, has been an eyesore to the citizens of that town. Winn was ar- rested last week by a constable on the charge of vagrancy and tried before a jury of six prominent citizens at Glas- gow. It was shown in the testimony that Winn had only worked six days in the last six months, and that he was ad- dicted to street loafing. The jury found him guilty as charged, and he was ordered to be brought to the city and sold as a vagrant at the court house door at public outcry to the highest bidder, cash in hand, for a period of six months. P. S. Campbell was the purchaser, and $20 the price. The Dollar of 1804. One of the rarest coins, if not the rarest, of the United States mintage is the silver dollar of 1804. All sorts of interesting stories, more or less fabulous, are told concerning this issue. According to the mint records 19,570 silver dollars were coined in 1804. This is the last authentic record of the mintage, and it is not known whether they were held in the treasury and subsequently struck over into a later date or whether they were sent to Africa to pay off our sailors, as one story runs. In 1804 the United States was engaged in a war up the Mediter- ranean with Tripoli, and it is said that the dollars coined that year were sent out to pay off our seamen. As the coins were new and bright the natives ashore took a great fancy to them when "Jack" would ring them down in payment for some jimcrack for his Nancy at home. The chiefs of the tribes, or boys, if that is a more correct term, as soon as they heard about these gleaming white dollars coveted them for ornaments and tokens, and took measures to get possession of all they could. It appears from the scarcity of the dollars in this country that they were unusually successful, and must have either robbed or tricked away the pay of about every man in the American fleet. :Deep -Sea Research. It was supqosed a few years ago that the ocean bottom was largely a counterpart of the land features of the globe, with its mighty mountain ranges pushing up to- ward the surface of the sea, and deep valleys and glens sinking to almost un- fathomable depths. This is found to be true only to a limited extent. Here and there, to be sure, mighty mountains push toward the surface or rise above it, form- ing islands ; and then, again, the bottom sinks in a narrow trough, as off the north- east coast of Japan, until it seems as though the sounding line could never measure its depth. But the ocean bed, in the main, is found gently to undulate, and would appear, if it could be observed, as of a slightly rolling plain. It has been found also that we used to have very ex- aggerated views of ocean depths. Maury, in his day the great authority upon the ocean, popularized the idea that a depth of eight or nine miles might be found in mid -ocean. We know now that a depth of five miles is very exceptional. Gen. Von Tillo, who has made the latest de- terminations of ocean depths, fixes the mean depth of all the oceans at 3,803 metres, or about 12,700 feet, less than twio and a half miles. The Pacific Ocean averages about 1,100 feet deeper than the Atlantic. The North Atlantic is deeper than the Southern Atlantic, and the Arctic Ocean grows shallower the nearer the pole is approached. Very interesting, facts have been discovered with regard to the great distances from land at which the sediment brought down by mighty rivers is spread over the sea bottom. Those giants among rivers, the Niger and the Condo, produce most marked effects upon the nature of the deposits at the bottom of the ocean. Buchanan has found that the sea bed for hundreds of miles from land, from the Gulf of Guinea atLoanda, has been filled up at an enormous extent by the dark -colored soft muds brought down by the rivers ; and off the mouth of the Congo the shore mud has been traced f of 18,000 feet at a distance of to depth s a p 600 milds from land. In the Bay of Ben- gal and the Arabian Sea the sediment out over the greater extent of the ocean's floor, Antarotio ice brings as far north as 40°' south latitude the debris from lands still unknown, Dr. Murray, says, however, that toward the central parts of the oceans it is difficult to trace the ordi nary river detritus in the deposits there forming. Before the challenger expedi- tion, only six deep-sea fishes were known. To -day about ten times as many forms of deep-sea life are familiar to oceanograph- ors, We can form some idea of the abundance of life existing in some re- gions at a depth of two and a half miles, when it is said that at a single haul of the trawl only twelve feet wide, and dragged over the bottom for a very short distance, as many as 150 specimens of the higher forms of deep-sea life have been obtained. One very interesting fact seems to have been established by the recent in- vestigations in the Pacific of the Fish Commission steamer Albatross. It has long been known that the group of ani- mals characteristic of the upper part of oceanic waters is entirely distinct from the forms of life near and at the bottom of the sea. The Challenger investigators thought they had established the fact that another distinct group of animals exists in the intermediate depths, between these upper and lower forms of life. This theory seems to have been upset by the work of the Albatross. The naturalists of this vessel have found that the forms of sea life in the upper portion of the ocean waters may descend to a depth of 1,200 feet or so from the surface, but there then succeeds a barren zone which continues to within 360 to 300 feet from the bottom where the deep-sea animals begin to appear. As a rule, these deep- sea animals have no eyes, showing that they have no need of them. The fact that they are subjected to enormous pres- sure is shown by many of them bursting open when brought to the surface. Some of them have very bright colors, and they are found most abundantly along the courses of the great currents, showing that these rivers in the ocean bring- a large amount of food for the deep-sea funs. A narrative of the minor and curious incidents of deep-sea exploration would make an interesting story. It was a distressing though rather ludicrous mishap that befel Dr. Hanson, who unfor- tunately wrote his labels and descrip- tions of the sponges collected by the Nor- wegian North Atlantic expedition in fugitive ink, and the records of his work became indecipherable. One thermometer now in use registers the temperature at any desired depth by means of a weight which is sent down the line to the depth required, and, striking the thermometer, inverts it. A while ago a small flat fish was investigating the instrument at a depth of 1,200 feet, when the weight de- scended and caught the animal. From the standpoint of a deep-sea fish, it seems hard that an animal living so far from the resources of civilization should be ex- posed to accidents by machinery. We know of the enormous territory the Al- batross has covered in her cruises along the Pacific coast of the Americas. In Alaskan waters she has traced the limits of great fishing -banks, where some day thousands of Americans may find profit- able employment. Her series of sound- ings has extended for thousands of miles along the coast. In the neighborhood of the Isthmus she has found that the ani- mal life of the Pacific compares but poorly with that of the Caribbean Sea, but many of the species on both sides of the Isthmus are identical. We observe that the most extended work in recent years has been done by the Albatross; by the Egeria, which has made many hundreds of soundings between Australia, New Zealand and the Phoenix Islands north of Samoa, covering the western Pacific with a network of observations; by the Dolphin and Seine, both of which have stretched a series of sun;iings across the Atlantic ; and by the Investigator, in the north Indian Ocean. These ex- peditions have demonstrated the inter- esting fact that the knowledge of deep- sea deposits has now advanced so far that experts at home, from the examination of a specimen, can tell approximately at what depth and in what latitude it was aken, and, with certain reservations, can roughly determine the longtitude. To give an illustration or two -in tropi- cal regions distant from land, and at a depth of 18,000 feet, the deposit seems without exception to be a ,clay arising rom thedecomposition of volcanic matter. n the greatest depths there is hardly a trace of carbonate of lime, but at depths f 12,000 feet more than half of the de- osits consists of this deposit. Within 00 to 150 miles of land all the pelagic rganisms are more or less completely hidden by the large amount of coast or iver debris with which they are mixed. One vessel, the Dolphin, found a depth of 0,646 feet, south of the Azores, which t f I 0 P 0 2 was the greatsst depth discovered during its long cruise. The Seine discoveredthat the now famous Trinidad depression (over 20,000 feet) was not so extensive as it is represented oil the maps. The Pola's investigations in the eastern Mediteran- ean resulted in recording the depth of 18,316 feet, the g:•.;uac:.c uses .a yet found there, and the great depression in this sea east from its form^r central position on the maps. The Black sea has been gridironed bylines of soundings, and the important fact has been discovered that below 600 feet there is no organic life, the lower stratum of water being so much impregnated with sulphuretted hydrogen. An important series of soundings between the Bermuda Islands and Nova Scotia was made when the Westmeath laid the cable that now connects Bermuda with the rest of the world. The work of the Fylla in Denmark Strait, between Green- land and Iceland, had the important re- sult of showing that the warmer Atlantic waters pass north through the strait un- der the surface polar stream flowing south. The oceanic studies referred to hero are only a small part of the work of these expeditions. They have been rich in results concerning the nature and ex- tent of the currents, the color and trans- parency of sea water, the temperature at various depths, polar ice, the formations and dimensions of waves, and various other phenoma and the extensive litera- ture now accessible, relating to the sea in all its aspects, shows that rapid pro- gress is making in oceanography, the youngest of all sciences. when Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
