The first time his waspship tickled l'at, he ex claimed "Be jabers, yeas bed inigs bite purty sharp in this country." THE TWO BILLS-A; FABLE. Two bills were waiting in the bank for their turn to go into , the world. One was a little hill—only a dollar; the other, was a big bill—a thousand dollar bill; While lying there sul6 by side,tliey fell to talking about their usefUlnesS. _ The dollar bill murmur ed out: "Ali, if I was as big as you What good I would do. I could move in spat _high plaCes, and people would be so careful of me wherever I should go. Everybody would admire aud want to take'me home with them, but small is I am, whit good can I do? Nobody cares much for me; lain too -little to be of any use." s "A h, yes, tbat_ia so!" said' the thou - sand dollar bill ; and-it haughti ly gathered up its well-trimmed cdots that were lying next to the little till in conscious superiority. • "That i 4 so," it reheated. " If you were, as great as I am—a thousand times.bigger.than you are—then 3 on might hope to do some good 'in- the World." And - its lace smiled in a Wrinkle of contempt for the little dol lar bill, Just then the cashier comes, - ekes the little murmuring bill and kindly `gives it to a pocfr widow: „.” God • bless yoti !" she cries, as with iv smiling face she 'receives it. "My dear hungry children can now have some bread." . . ' A thrill of joy ran through the lit tlaykll as it folded up in the widow's hand', and it whispered " I may do tome good if I am small." , And when it saw the bright- faces or the fatherless children it was very glad it eould do',a little good. Then the little dollar began tle lourbey of Usefulness. • It first went to the baker for bread; then to the miller ; tlien to the farmer (then tecthe . laborer ; 'then to the doctor; then , to the minister; and wherever it went it gave pleasure,adding 80111(1- thing to their comfort and joy. Atlast, after a ion,, long pilgrim age of usefulness among every sort of people, it came back again to the bank, crumpled, defaced, ragged, softened by its daily use. Seeing the thousand dollar 'bill lying there with scarcely a Avrinkla or a . finger mark upon it, it exclaimed : "Pray, sir, add whatlias beer. your mission of usefulness'?" The bill sadly replied : "I have been from safe'vto safe among the rich, where few could see me, and they were afraid to le me go out far, lest I should be lost. Few indeed . are they whoin I have made happy by my mission?'

THE ORIGIN OF rim TIDES. , All bodies attract each. other; the power of the force exerted depending upon the weight of the ,bodies and their distance frOm each tither. Tlie weight of any body is it fact the force with which the earth attracts that Body to itself. The celestial bodies are all chained together by . this force of attraction. The sun and the moon both exert an 'attractive • influence on the earth, inducing Our planet to ap proach them ; this attraction beitig, counterbalancedby the centnfugal force, we describe a curve, which is the resultant of those two forces. But the surface. of the earth consists' of fluid and solid ; the liner, owing to its mobility, exhibits a greate? tendency to. obey the attractive in fluence, and therefore rises to meet a little wine the-sun or the moan. The sun, on account of his enormous hulk, exer c" es a much greater attractive- force i on he earth than the moon, - but the soli tide is much less than the lunar' tide, r this reason.--4hat the moon being n qr the earth, attracts the sur-• face of th' sea far . more than its solid - bed, and, erefore, the water rises in a heap II u derneath the satellite. The sun, on th' other hand, being so distant, exerts n vly as much force on the surface as n the ocean' bed beneath; and, there re, lifts up the :water hut very little. The identical ly smile effect is proclue d upon that \ I part of the earth most d -taut from the sun or mOon, only in his case the mean bed IN drawn town R those bodies more rapidly than, the titer, which is; in fact, left behind. len' the sun and , moon, arc either in c ' junction or opposition.:--that is, when. the line joining them passes in -the neighborhood of, or directly through the, earth —`then, their attractive forces being united, the tidal wave will he at a Maximum fOrming " spring tides." If they be in .4quad rature "—that is, the lines drawn from their centres to the earth's cen- tre form aright angle—then - the tides ili be ata minimum, or " neap tide " will result. It will be.eyideut, then, that if the earth were a world of wa- ters, each tidal wave would pass coin pletely, around the earth in tWenty- Jour hours. The existence of coati- nente•materially modifies its transit and \ it is driven from its course, and eorrsegnently retarded., The grcat, tidal ir .a . ve takes its rise in the deep Antartk\ ocean. As it traverses the ocean the\waters are not raised above a few "feet ;lint when it eliters a Alai ow seas or an \ estuary, where the tide finds itself,ina\sort of tunnel, then the rise is sornethucs as much as sev enty feet, as is the cas e , in the Bay of Finiday. The wave is not a wave of transmission, but -One of motion, 'and if the particles of\water were destitute of all cohesionfraction.. among themselves they WOUld only rise into the. same place\after\the trrotiori has passed. • A.Wrive_.Othis nature'is illustrated by throwin a stone-into 'a•pond; the wavelets ex pand from the point of distiirbanc4 hut do not carry to the shore apy. thing that floats on the surfaee of the. water; such bodies only rising as It\ were to allow the wave to pass be neath them; this proves that the wa ter had only an upward and clown: ward movement as it , formed the "-- wave. :nil) tittle girta are better one.

IN. A NEWSPAPER EDITORIAL ROOM. Clustered among scores of other publishing houses, loomed the build ings of the Tribune, the Herald, the, Suit, the Worbk. and the white wreaths of steam rolling up from their roofs and from the grat ings over the press-rooms. The press rooms extended beyond the ngs under 'the sidewalk,• - and the mvement vibrated with the.. beat o the ninchine4, which were already tossing oh' .parts of the papers, the insides or the outsides, leaving a re serve Of space: for the news- that might arrive afterwar I. Where the heat•had penetrated the hard flags, some newsboys had curled thiimsielvet; in innocence 'and . dirt. Others lay asleep on the steps, Where the most iniPortant and most hurried, of the largest contributors to jQnrnalisni kindly forebore from disturbing theM. 'Occasionally 'a telegraph messenger dived into the-entrance of a build ing, then an errand boy from the post-offlee with a pile of newspapers and letters, and then a reporter from some late meeting up town.
