We hnvo bet-n fppnliDR a tleliRliifnl . ftern-on on coriil-rei f ; lint I despair of beirjg able to convoy to yon, even the VBRiiest iilea of its fascination. I do not know whether it 19 most attrac tive when seen from nfnr, or when we are actnlly float :i p over it, and look down throj'h clear crystuiine water, to the sea-gimlrn beneath ns. W hen seen from the hilly pronml above, the coral-reef appears like a submarine rainbow of inJescribnble loveliness, encircling the hnrbor, and dividing its vivid blue from the purply indigo shades of the great ocean be yond. The belt of mingled corals, sea weeds, and white Hand, lying at irreg ular depths, beneath a snallow film of emerald green water produces every shade of mauve, sienna, orange and aqna marine, all marvellously blended, and thete shades are countantly vary ing with the ebb and llow of the tide, for at high water the reef is covered to the depth of several feet, while at low tide, large putcbea are left almost dry, and if you are coctent to take yonr chance of a pood wetting, you can land, and explore it all at your leis ure. But it is not pleasant walking, for the sharp coral Hpikes break nn'ler your feet, and yon may very likely land in a deep rock pool, amongst most inhospitable creatures, bristling with spines or else armed with sharp teetb, or unpleasant stings. The highest ed'e of the reef lies towards the ocean, and here the hnpe green breakers wage ceaseless war agninst the mighty bnrrier, for ever rolling in, rtad dashing against the coral wall with deafening roar. So tbe onter brink of the reef is always m-irK-ed by a line of dazzling white surf, and as you approach it even on a calm day, you perceive tnat the waves seem higher and grander thau those which break on oar own shores. It is always an anxious moment when we have to ail from one island to another, and must pass through the narrow opening, by which alouo we can leive the caiui lake-like waters within the reef, m l go out to the great sea, for often this natural gateway is so narrow, that the hnge waves breaking on either side, seem as though they must overwhelm nr. In order t enjoy tlio reef, tho first essential is to go in a boat which draws very little water, and has no new oaint to be consiiieredl It is better sttl. to go in a native canoe, which of it.self n a most picturesque object, adened nt both ends with white shells, like poached eggs ( Cyprea ovifii tnis). I', carries a large triangular aid of yellow matting, with streamers of native cloth floating from the npner corner, to ac aa a flag. The canoe i balanced by a large on: rigger, that is to say a beam of wood or part of a cocoa-nut rem, which floats along ti ie, and la attached to the canoe by I amboos When such "canoes as thee return from a fishing expedition, and the stal wart brown men, and lassies (with their well-combod fuzzy Iieids, and light drapery, eked cut with garlaads of bright-colored lea'es) come usnon with their basket full of all nianutr of curious Osh, they form a pictu , such aa wonld debgl.t an artist. Sho ild they have. Lad the luck to enptnre a turtle, they announce the triumph long ere they reach tii. land, by beating a lali or great vooden dram, made of a hollowed tree, winch tney strike with two pieces of wood, producing a deep boominj tone. But the moot cr'iniry day's fishin? riut produce .somming bti ingo f.nd beaut l'nl, for tiie nets bring up all tnauner of creatures of c.irio:s form and gorgeonu 1 ne. The commonest of all are the f.reut big-headei p irrol fish Beams, which have long boov beaks and strong wt,ite teeth speci--: y adapt ed for crum Liuj tiie corul oa which they feed. Strange to fr.j there arc certain aoaeons when the oral ia s..id to be "in flower, ' at which penoa the fish which have eaten i become exceeding ly nnwholesome, poisonous in fact bo 1 confess that I always eat these rdiant Bun with some qnnlmr lest it hon.J chance to be teeir poisonous stage; many persons have t-nfle.ed se verely from the cause. But as a study tf rich colors tnese fish aro magnifi cent. Some are pure scarlet or shaded with crimson, others are purple nnd green, and the fisher's basket probiibW contains others of a bright gol , marked wi h bars or spots of black, nd silvery flat eels like flashing :ror - a. Bt.t to see marine creatures in liieir beauty, yon must visit their bonus, and let yonr beat drift over the coral bwds, jrben the tid j is low and the tea without a ripple. Then, indeed, oa will g-iln a giimpe of Wondc--" nd hJ yon peer down turongh the crystal waters into tbe lovely coral gardens below joa. Every sort of coral grows 'there, soma witn outstretched branches, like garden shrnbs, othen forming solid tables, on which lie strewt shells and sponges, and lumps c brain and mushroom corals. These living shrubs assume ever) shade of color; some are delicate pink or bine, others of an ethereal lilac, and others pale lemon -color. But it ia use loss to attempt to carry home thes flowers of the sea, for their color ii 1 their life. It is simply a gelatinoni ' slime, which drips away as the living creatures melt away and die, wbec exposed to tbe air. So after a few hours, there remain only discolored corals with a most offensive smell, anc a long course of bleaching is necessary ' ere they are purified and transformed , into the pnre white skeleton we knoa . in Engalnd; very poor substitutes foi the lovely objects in their nativa con ! dition. j As yon look down to the labyrinth) of this strange ehrnbbery, you see all manner of beautiful creatures quietly moving about; there are a multitude ol large star fish of tbe deepest Albert blue, with yellow nndor-side, and won derful specimens of ecnini. Yon know the fragile sea-eggs of our shores, cov ered with tall, sharp spines? Well, some of these Fijian cousins ( Arocla dia) are armed with spikes like slate pencils, as thick as vour middle finger and a good deal longer. And another extraordinary creatnrt is a starfish, tlcanfAtMer o?arf). which seems to be nearly related to the sea-urchin, for its fifteen arms are each covered with very sharp, grey and orange spines, preoisely like those of the echinus, while the underside is s mass of pale-yellow fleshy feelers, lika those of a sea-anemone, with a sncker at tne end of each. We have captured some of these strange creatures, and brought them home in a bucket, bat , tbey looked wretched in captivity. I indeed, everything in the submarine garden derives half its charm from be ing seen through tbe medium of clear translucent water, which throws a gla mor of enchantment over everything. it glorines tne scarlet corallines, and tbe waving branches of green and brown weed with their waving fronds, through which dart sboxls of the mo t exqu s.te minute fish of every dazzling hne. some are of a vivid green, others of bright cobalt, some are pure scarlet. others are golden, and others like black velvet with a pattern of falry-like peacock's feathers. All these move to and fro in family parties, and seem to be playing endless games of hide and seek among the coral shrubs and ledg e. We have brought some dainty dar lings lor the children's aquarii.m, and find that they live very well, so long as we refrain from the temptation of introducing a morsel of newly-gathered coral which, in dying, poisons the w ter, so that all the creatures in the aquarium are sure to die. I had rather an unpleasant little episode on the reef, while trying to capture for the aquarium some lovely golden-fish with brilliant blue collars. The fairy-like neauties had eluded my efforts again aud again, and at last darted beneath the coral ledge on which I stood. In U-e excitement of the moment I thoughtlessly slipped in my band, which was instantly bitten by a large, very voracious kind of eel, much dreaded by the natives. Happily bo only succeeded in catching one "finger, nnd I was able to tear it away, but not without a series of painful gashes, mark ing the course of each sharp tooth. But by far the most interesting epl sode connected with the reef is the annual vicit of the Balolo, Paolo vtrl- di, which ia a thread-like worm re- ; semblin vermicelli, often upwards of a yard in length. It has a pointed body w th innumerable, almost micro scop'C legs. All the year round, these long, li an worms live in the depths of the ocean, but 00 two days in the year 1 they hold high festival, and come to . the surface in countless myriads, dis- ' porting themselves for several hours before daybreak, and with one accord disappearing the very moment the sun rises, to be seen no more till the follow- ; ng autumn. j With such unerring precision dc they ris t their accustomed time, I that the natives know exexily when to j lo ik for them, and pre all on the a'ert, ; to m ike the most of ti e preat worm ! fes'ival. Their first annual appear- ' auce is early in October, wbich is hence called "Little Balolo," because only a few appear, rising wit a par- ticular tide. November is cal ed the ; 'Grea', Balo!o," becanse the grand rising ofthe worms invaribly occurs at 1 the tide of the full moon, b.-tween tha 20th and 2t:i of November. In the 1 Sumoan Isles, tbe day selected by the I worms is j bout a fortnight earlier. j The n itives ma'e their calcnlationi ; by noting the position of certain stars, and they assemble from all quarters to await their rare visitors, who have never been known to be tinpunctuah , True to the traditions of their worm- j ancestors, they rise in untold millions, i at certain well-known points ne :r tb reefs, and here, year after year, the whole sea, to tbe depth of several Inches, ia simply alive with these red, green and brown creatures literally vermicelli, which form one writhing j mass, and are pursued by shoals of t Call of all sizes, which come to share t e feast with the bun an beings. j It- is the merriest day of the year, j and o- e to which all the Fijians and ; Satnoans look forward to with intense I delight. About midnight they go ont in their canoes, and anxionsly await twe appearance of the flrt few worms, : and great is the struggle to recure these, which lie raid the approach of the vast ruul ituJes. Great is the ex o tement as they rise to the surface in ever-incieasing myriads, till the whole water see ins to be alive with these wriggling tiireads. Each lad and lass carries a wiclser basket, wherewith to capture the w-irms without bringing too mroh salt water on board, and for several hours tbe merry sport and laughter never cease, everyone bailing up the worms, and trying who ran cd os" quickly fill his canoe, either by . f'lir spo.t or by stealing from bir neighbors. i The noise and scrambling reach their clim x just before dawn, for, like magio creatures in some fairy tale, no 8 ouer does the sun's first ray g 1 1 the water, than these mysterious Dalolo, wit one accord, tint to their native depths, and a momeit later not one remains on 'the surface. Never h. s it been known to fail in the memory rf the oldest inhabitant, white or brown. Nor is there any rocord of anyone h.tving seen one rise to the surface on any save the two ap pointed days. Well aware how fruitless it would ba to continue fishing in forsaken water, the natives all race back to the shore, so s oa as the sua has risen, and, wrapping their balolo in bread-fruit loaves, cook them in ovens already dug on the beach, and filled with red-hot stones, and then they have a great feast the equivalent of a whitebait dinner. So great is the quantity raptured, that when the whole multitude have eaten to their heart's content, they in variably have a large surplus which is carefully pro-erved for several days, and warmed np when required. Nice baskets of this dainty fare are sent by t tisty mf -ers to distant friends ia inland distiioUi, as tbe choicest offer ing of trother epicures. It tastes like a combination of potted meat and f pinacb, v ith a marine flavor, rather like that of the highly-prized Iaver of the Scillv Isles. It Is a teirlble misfortune or a hoi rid retribution for a man to have a race of such fixed impresslveness thai it merely so -res as a figurehead to Hi body.

Three centuries ago, domestio ser- tants appear to have been very ranch what tbey 'are to-day, at least if we may judge from the rules laid down for their conduct in a family of some eminence. 'Ihe following "orders for household servants" were first devised by John Harrington, in the year 1556, and renewed by John Harrington, sonne of the said John, in the year 1592; the eaid John, Ihe sonne, being then Hiffh Khrievn of tha OonntT of Somerset " Imnnmiq. hit urunt absent from matins or vespers without lenses reached the sum of $1,500,000 lawful excuse, to be alleged within ind tl.e receipts from all sources wero twenty-four hours, should forfeit two Ii500,000, leaving net a round luill pence.

If one carelessly left a door ft" est ern Trail open in the winter-timo he was finec' , Th(, buildinir was a significant one penny. So man servant was to lie in bed after six o'clock in the morning, or to be out of bed after ten o'cloek at night, between Lady-day and Michaelmas; and during the other six months, seven A. M. was the hoar fixed for rising, and nine P. M. for retiring. Some thing on Charles Lamb's principle of going away early to make up for com ing late. The penalty for disobedi ence on any of these points was two pence. If any man s bed was left un- made, or any fire-place or candle-box uncleaned alter eight in the morning, tne onender forfeited one penny. Fonr times this sum was exacted from any man who sbonld teach children "nnhonest speech," or im proper language. Whoever waited at the table without a trencher in bis band was to pay one penny, the same was also exacted if on absented him self from any meal without permission. Tbe rule w'as strictly enforced that who breaks pays, aud if the actual culprit could not be discovered, the ! butler was condemned to make gooc tbe loss or forfeit twelve pence. The table was to be covered for supper half an hour before six P. M., the penalty for negleot being two pence. Thrice that amount was the punishment if dinner was not promptly served at eleven o'clock, and supper at six o'clock. Whoever absented him self for a whole or even for a part of a day without leave, was fined fonr pence. If any one struck another or reviled him, or threatened him, or provoked him to violence he was obliged to pay twelve pence. Whoever intruded upon the kitchen in serving hours, unless he bad bnsiness, was fined one penny for the trespass, the cook being amerced in like amount for connivance. It was further enacted that "none toy with the maids, on pain-i of 41;" and that "no man wear a foule shirt on Sunday, or broken hose or shoes, or dublett without buttons, on tine of Id;' and further, "that when any stranger goeth hence the rbamber le drest up again wi thin four honrs after, on puine of 1 d." I he ball was to be made clean by eight o'clock in the morning in winter, and by seven in the summer, on tbe like forfeit, while the porter suffered to the same amount if he failed to close the court gate during dinner and supper.

SPRING CLEANING. A SECirX FOB HOUSEKEEPERS. Assnmo a stern and dismal manner, nd mix with it a large proportion of irritability, whip np the latter, and serve out hot, especially to those who are trying to help yon. This will rerve a twofold purpose; it will make the willing ones pray for death, and will encourage the lazv hands. Then j begin. Turn out several rooms at the same time, mix the furniture of all thoroughly. This will save time and temper. Take up tbe carpets and have them beaten as near an open window as possible in order that the dust may set tle on the newly waxhed floors. Have the whitewashers in before yon are ready for them, and, if not convenient, at night By so doing you get a ghastly ghostly effect invalnabla in spring cleaning, you also convey the impression that yon are working against time. Thoroughly disorganize the servants. Let the nnder-bouse-maid cook, and the cook scrub the drawing-room floor. This will make both suffer more, and therefore is of great value. Dine in the spare bed room. This will show the family you are in earnest, and unfit your husband for his work. Turn ont all drawers and cupboards, and put the contents e irefully away in different places, so that you may not be able to find them yourself, and can ultimately blame some one else for misplacing them. Wash all pictures and china, and frighten the servants into breaking as many pieoes as possible. You will I than h.c. tha inv of a real ffrinvanca ' tpeu nave tne joy Ot a real grievance.

This wonld deprive you of the pleasure to be gained from "going through" it i mother year. If anyone smiles during the cleaning rebuke them; if it is a servant an hour's sermon on "light behavior" will be of value to her, and at the end of it she can be scolded for not "getting on with her work." Never thank anyone for anytLing they do for you. This would be nndiguifle l. Throngh the entire cleaning make everybody's life aa great a burden to them as possible, but be convinced in your own mind that yon yourself are only performing a sacred duty in a thoroughly Chris tian spirit. OnrTrorest Not Giving- Ont. According to some facts and figures presented by Henry Gannett la a re cent Issue of the New York Sun, there Is to-day nearly if not quite as great an area of wood-land In tbe United States as when the white man set foot on our shores. There are not so many square miles of merchantable timber now as then, but the territory occupied by growing trees is about as extensive as it was 400 years ago, and these trees will in time grow to a size suitable for the production of lumber. Some of Mr. Gannett'sstate ments are quite Inconsistent with tho general belief that American forests are giving out. lie says, for instance, that only about 270, 000 square miles, or less than one-tenth the area of the country, is artificially cleared land, while to offset this loss there has ia recent years been great extension of wooded land In the prairie States as well as tn some of the natural tree growing States.

In Paris In -su, made a luancial success. In the first on ield in London and known as tha Crystal Palace because of its const ruo ;ion. over 1,000.000 square feet of rhiss was used and its gates were itieued 144 davs. Its cost and ex- was a enirth, 1,851 feet, and the year was 1851. It was not opened Sundays, and ;he admission on - Monday, Tuesday, W ednesday, and Thursday was 25 :ents. On Friday 02 cents, and for Saturday the admission was raised to 11.25. Gentlemen's season' tickets were three guineas, or J15. The la lies were highly favored by having ihe price of their season tickets ihade I to 2 guineas, or about $10. Tn 1854 the exhibition of Munict was classed with the international sxhibitions. It was held in a crystal jalace built by King Ludwl? II.. who facate l the throne in 1848, and to .his man is due the building of this treat enterprise, for at that time and ilace he had not the co-operation of .he people. It was held in one build ng. and a veritable crystal palace it was, I cing 800 feet long, 200 feet vide, and S7 feet high. Tne number of a res covered was iwelve. Tbe expend itures were J450,-lO-i and receipts but about tJO'1,000. I Taris in 1855 opened a world's fair ;hat run 200 days and cost 45,000,000 ind the receipts from all sources were ess than 1,00,000. Therefore tbe lolding of this world's fair was at .ended by a loss of fully $4,000,000. London followed in 1S62 and nearly leln her own in an exhibition opened 171 days, and in lfOT Paris again in cited the world to exhibit aud look in another fair international ia its :hara'ter. This was not financially successful, tnd then came Vienna in 1873 and Philadelphia in 1876 in honor of the lrst centennial year of independence. I Paris opened again in 1878, and Mel Kurne in 1880, both falling to draw .be crowds to make them financially luecpssful. Paris again came to the 'ront after a lapse of nine years, and n 18U planned and completed tbe rrcatest of world's fairs up to that lay. The machinery palace was the ; arrest building oa the ground and ts length was 1,378 feet and width 10i feet. It covered about eleven icres. The Fren -h section cost over 11,000,000, palae of arts one and jne-balf millions, and half a million Has expended in garden and parks.
