Some weeks ago, at church, he became quite im- pressed with she minister's eloquence and on' his return home was quite silent and thoughtful. On Mon- day, however, he went to his mother, and asked her if it would be proper for hin to call upon the divine - and onverse with him about the ser- mon. The mother, a devoted Chris- tian woman, assurred him that' the | minister would no doubt be delight- | od to talk with him, and remarked that she was glad her little boy was beginning thus early in life to think Arrived at the pastor's residence, Pau] was ushered nto the reverend"s presence. * Mr.---said the boy, gravely, "1 - 'came to talk with you about your sermon---you said God was every- where----is He {" ; "Yes, dear child,' said the bland | old gentleman, * the good God is over | all---His presence is everywhere.

On land, here, the vegeta. tion of the Alpine base is not that of the summit, the wild goat skips upon the peak of the Himalayas, but the rhinocerous hay hid Tair miles below. Our acquaintance ysteries of the deep must be n abscintely and literally superticial, for we are revealed to us, and these dimly, and bat to its valleys our sense can never penetrate. All the creatures at disport themselves on or mear its. surface, are more or less familiar te us--the whales, the porpoises, and the sharks, that come tumbling over its undulations much in the same way that buffaloes come floundering over the waves of the prairie. The count- less broods that feed on its shallow banks and are taken therefrom to feed shallower mortals, are all within our grasp, and we grasp them. On the ledge of the iceberg sits enthroned the walrus, and we salute him as the elephant of the sea, and esteem him unspeakably for the commercial value of his ivory tusks. The huge sea cow has no mystery for us. We wake the harmless creature from its bed of seaweed on the isolated rock, and having wished it a good morning, we stick spears into it, and con- vert it tothe noble purpose of gsin. The gnificient sea n, king of the Arctic waters, is no stranger to us, which is just so much the worse for him. There is a sea monster known to fisher- men as the Horned Ray, a monater most fearful in itself, but interesting as an illus- tration of that which is, and a suggestion of that which may be--a veritable dragon of the sea, whose: lateral fins extend like wings, ani frequently measures more than thirty feét from tip te tip. This voracious fish will some'imes make its appearance among the swimmer in the turf, and taking one under each arm, so to speak, descend with them to depths unknown. Until the ocean shall have been dried, or drained off, no human being can ever explore the grotoes into which this hideous man eater glides wit his prey. The great fishes and beasts that are known to us may be crea- tures of the upper deep alone never de- scending below a curtain depth, test they emcouter far more hideous and powerful monsters than themselves, whick dwell at ¢ Certainly.' y * Well, is He in my pocket ?"
