, THE TWO PARMER BOYS.
i , .. by w. it. banb.vER.
On one of those sultry summer day in June,
when 'all nature, seems imploring the Great
Dasposer of events for water" to relieve the
earth of its thirst,'and firevent its becoming
barren from "'drouth, two boys were at work in
fiidd adjoining. They were farmer boys, and
thus fur through life had passed'niuch of tlieir
leisure, time together. . ' ,' ? ', ', '
,,, A scene, of beauty, of surpassing . beauty,
s'irrouii Js t hem. ' 1 1 was a Louie: scene a scene
which will ever remain, unstamped," tip'on the
tablet of nieruorv. "" Broad acres of beautiful
farming land, covered with luxuriant growing
cr. ps, were. all displayed in all tjhe.ir beauty
liefore theni. Tw.is siich a scene as oniv far
mers behold, and few beside farmers are cana-
uic oi enjoying. ,
" Let us approach and make the acquaintance
of these1 farmer boys, who we,haye. said were
at work. Martin Brown is, the son of an tnhi-
e'nt fanner Jerry Fr'eman ' was . the child" of

tin his had superior advantages; Jerry's op
portunities' for obtaining knowledge have been
meagr Buthear them, that vc nia'v judge":'
for they are approaching the place where we
stand hy the fence, each at the same time.
"A fine dav ,". declares ' Jerfv, leaning : on
the handles of his cultivator, raising; bis hat,
and wiping the sweat from his high forehead.
"A plague on such fine days so. hot corn
all drying up- J would like to know what there
is particularly fine about this day ?"' replies
Martin. . . .
. Y'We have a beautifnl place to work inhere'
--rat thoine'tlnidi'wlth his eye, hMicing the-
surrounding beanties OP hill and valley 'and
can see much to efijoy,'-observed Jerry.' '
. sWell,M-I would like "to know who could
enjoy this, and be hard at work ! '; I -can sen
bnt little"to' enjoy, responds Martin.
"Why, we may enjoy the scene abont un
the lovely view of wid-spreadiiig fields' of
grain," meadow and forest ; and yond-er ate the
distant hills,' looking so- beautifully blue be
hind tlwr clouds."' - l r-. - t-- .t-'-
- ''Pb.taw Jerry f answered bis 'companion,
with a derisive laugh, can see 'nothing: in
this view you have pointed out worthy a look
or thought. ' We have nothing in this town
worthy one's attention, and I'm getting tired
of the intolerable lonesome life I am leading."
,Y,:.I !m contented,' responded Jerry. - t
i find much time for' reading,- and subjects -of
wionder. inquiry'and admiration daily present
themselves to my notice."' A laugh followed
this e.-tpressTon of content by Jerry,- and the
boys separated.''" -- . ;.: '

-Tnr Basix of the Atlaxtic Modern" sci
ence, says the Baltimore Americaj has made
many discoveries in relation to the ocean, its
dspths, and its beds or basins. - According to
Mr, Charles K.- Weld, who recenth' made a
tour through the United States and Canada,'
the vast ; sea-weed mcdows " f the Atlautic,
which .cover a space seventimes as large as
France, teem w ith life, and deep-sea-soundings
which reveal the sea floor of Jhe greatest depths,
show that the, bottom of the ocean is frequent
ly paved with calcareous and silicious shells.
The Atlantic basin is a vast trough, bounded
"on one side by America, and on the other side
by Afrjc.i, and risingout of this, trough ro
mountains higher than, the loftiest Himalayalia,
from peak to peak of which huge whales hold'
their coursa with the . same ; secretion with
which eagles pass from crag to crag; and val
leys deeper , than any trodden vby the foot', of
man, within those oozy folds the great waters
lie in perpetual repose. Depths have been
sounded in :he. Atlantic ; greater than the ele
vation of any mountain above its surface. .
t i Another modern writer speaking of ( this
great basin, says that could its. waters be drawn
off so as to expose to view this great chasm,
which separates continents, and extends, from
the Arctic to the Antarctic, it would present
a scene rugged and grand beyond description.
Tbe very ribs of the solid earth would bo
brought to light, and we should behold at one
view, in the, mighty cradle of the ocean, the
sad remains of a thousand fearful wrecks, with
their countless human skulls buried in heaps
of pearl and, inestimable stones, which le con
cealed upon the botton . of the deep. From
the top of the Chimborazo-to the bottom of
the Atlantic j at the deeiiest place yet" reached
,by the plommetin a vertical line, is nine miles.
The deepest" part of the North Atlantic if prob
ably somewhere' between' the BermBdas' and
the Grand Banks. 'The waters of tne Galf of
Mexico are 'held ia ra basin- whose1' greatest
depth is about a mile.: l '' : "' :
