ially in England. One successful trip was enough to start the enterprise with a handsome profit. A blockade-runner like the Kate, which made forty trips or more, would enrich her owners almost beyond the dreams of avarice. The remains of the Ruby soon after her capture by U. S. S. Proteus, February, 1865 Here on the beach of Morris Island lies all that was left of the swift and doughty blockade-runner Ruby. She was one of the most successful of her kind.

Not until February 27, 1865, while trying to get in with an assorted cargo of the type usually denominated hardware, was she at last entrapped. The Federal screw-steamer Proteus, Commander R. W. Shufeldt, picked up her scent and gave chase, with the result seen in the picture. It was for taking such risks as these that the captains of the blockade-runners received $5,000 a month instead of the $150 which was the prevailing rate in the merchant service befor

The pivotal cup of the compass-card. Age′ing. （Pottery.) The storage of prepared clay, to allow it time to ferment and ripen before using. The slip, consisting of levigated clay and flint, is run in a thin solution through sieves and brought to a creamy consistence. This is boiled down to give it more solidity, and is then stored away, sometimes for years, being occasionally cut out in chunks and slapped to expel air and develop the plasticity. During the ageing process a slight fermentation occurs, carbonic acid and sulphureted hydrogen are disengaged, and the mass is

ind or damp. We wear the cross of ebony and gold, Upon a dark back-ground a form of light, A heavenly hoe)c upon a bosom cold, A starry promise in a frequent night; The dying lamp must often trim again, For we are conscious, thoughtful, striving men. Yet be we faithful to this present trust, Clasp to a heart resigned the fatal must; Though deepest dark our efforts should enfold, Unwearied mine to find the vein of gold; Forget not oft to lift the hope on high; The rosy dawn again shall fill the sky. And by that lovely light, all truth revealed, The cherished forms which sad distrust concealed, Transfigured, yet the same, will round us stand, The kindred angels of a faithful band; Ruby and ebon cross both cast aside, No lamp is needed, for the night has died. Be to the best thou knowest ever true, Is all the creed; Then, be thy talisman of rosy hue, Or fenced with thorns that wearing thou must bleed, Or gentle pledge of Love's prophetic view, The faithful steps it will securely lead.

mals are very few with us,—the different species are many; and as we come to know them better and love them more, we absolutely require some way to distinguish them from their half-sisters and second-cousins. It is hopeless to try to create new popular epithets, or even to revive those which are thoroughly obsolete. Miss Cooper may strive in vain, with benevolent intent, to christen her favorite spring blossoms May-Wings and Gay-Wings, and Fringe-Cup and Squirrel-Cup, and Cool-Wort and Bead-Ruby; there is no conceivable reason why these should not be the familiar appellations, except the irresistible fact that they are not. It is impossible to create a popular name: one might as well attempt to invent a legend or compose a ballad. Nascitur, non fit. As the spring comes on, and the changing outlines of the elm give daily a new design for a Grecian urn,— its hue first brown with blossoms, then emerald with leaves,—we appreciate the vanishing beauty of the bare boughs.
