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 little dollar hilt said
"It is better to be small and go

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

" 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

finds itself,ina\sort of tunnel, then
the rise is sornethucs as much as sev

Clustered among scores of other
