He^did not natlixe ' Every kindly expression from tbo pas- ; acngere seemed to him like an unfeeling 1 ryuinrk. and he would have given a I month's salary- to have been at home, or anywhere that everybody felt aa bad At the next station be got a dispatch, aad his hand shook like a leaf, and he dare not look 'at it out doors, but he went in the smoker and sat down in front of the drummers, and opeued the 1 dispatch, glanced at it and pat his head on hia hand and leaaod his elbow on tho window. The boys looked at bitn and one said. 1 ne ooya loosen at mm ana one smu, J

not thinking that anything had ooourrol more than the usual order to j hold the train for another to pass. "Hel- , lo. the old man has got hi- discharge. 0. i have been expecting it since be t collected that twenty rents from the . tramp last week and knocked it down." Then they laughed, and one of the I boya touched the conductor on the ( shoulder and aaid. "Never mind, old , boy. us fellows will see you through.

' j I waters are running, that the trout can I leap a tall; then, taking the waters at a point where the stream runs strong and ; ■ I j steady, they hack into the iiuimer waters j 1 I I gather impetus nnd make a dash at ■ . i the fall. So long as tlie body of water 1 1 covers them entirely, with all fins sub- , r merged, they can make progress, but . the force of the current turn them 1 until one fin is exposed to tho air. and ' ' I down the fjsh goes to tho foot of the - ' T falls. Stunned, strained, and apparent- j ! i bruised, it lays quiescent, but 6OO0 | i ; rallying its forces, it swims gently up to , ■ : within a few inches of tbeduwn-|>ouriag > stream of water, then backing gently 1 r under force of the current, it rests a few I I moments, and thou, quick as the eve can 1 j follow is movements, it cuts the water. , i ; slightly at angle to its force, and just at . ri the breast of the fall or dam it is situ , , ' ta more glimpse) in tho air. Flinging ' s j itself forward and head downward it cn- ; l j tc{* tho upper water. Another second . t ! and ont it comes again and again, as if i in mere tportiveness. Soon it is away i ; up the stream. It is the sheerest follv c : to imagine that a trout can fling itself . 1 as much as five or six feet up a fall and I ! gain the upper waters by this method. - We cannot expect a trout to do some- , t thing impossible. Comparison gives us , 0 correct judgment, and analogy steps in 1 where wo cannot judgo from observation; if we reason from analogy we shall i notgo far astray. 1

i Tho mental capacity of trout, when 1 i judged by their sense "of sight, is fully [ developed. Good old Izaak Walton used , . say that their sight was "keener than a hawk." Now nature never intended ! . him to be so. because there i. no notes- • > sity for it;-for nature uev. r blunders; 1 : suit the end." . A hawk needs to see his prey in tlie or brush when hovering in the air ' a mile or so away, but . k trout's sight is 1 not so keen as it has been represented t I bo. It is true if yon come between, i and the bare sky behind at a di.v ; I of twelve or fifteen yards, he will ( • yon instantly and cease rising, bnt . tho distance to seventeen or 1 , eighteen yards and he does not sec you I nearly so well, and if you stop probably i 1 will not see you at all. It is a que*- ] I lion in this case of tho angle of refrao- , i tion. The fact is. a trout can see you . so far as the angle of refraction eni ables him to see you and no farther, and : ; this will, loan extent, be affected by the 1 depth of water that he lies in. But what induces one to doubt tho i sharpness of his sight is this: If you i I stand with your back to a troe orb rush, . | that you make no distinct shadow, . | and do not otherwise attract attention, j raise him easily, almost under your rod i ! tip; but If you 'move three yards away i ! from the tree or brush you cannot do so. I we think this proves an eyesight i ! much leas keen than a hawk. Nature i meant the trout to get his living- in the t water and on the surface thereof, and i constructed his eyes accordingly. Sho I ] did not in her scheme take into conaidi i cratiorftkc fact that there might be rodI fishers on the river bank* and in another ! element, who would be inimical -to tho i and against whom it would bo I ] necessary to provide fish whli special j 1 powers qj vision. No doubt a Usn can r 1 see his anralaa in tho wolor. as « I. aod* L could see his In the air. and no doubt anglers havo educated trout to beware I of them; hut it is to andmnrrfect extent only, by reason of the difference of tho elements aad by reason of the angler :! not forming a factor In tho scheme of ' creation. — American Angler. ' The Future of Psptr. The statement from Lansingburg. N. I Y., that a firm there has just completed a paper steamboat for a Pittsburg eum- " pany is not surprising. The vessel is twenty feet long, and will accomodate ' nearly three down people, and has a carrying capacity of three tons. The. I sheathing is three-eighths of an inch thick, and a bullet from » revolver fired 1 sit it from a distance of four feet made no abrasion in iL Tbo Baltimore -Vexes says that the next thing we shall bear • of. will be tho paper locomotive. Some one has already constructed a ° light and pretty paper railway carriage. Paper wheels arc very common, and an I inventor is confident thai "he can make J paper rails a success. Paper ties are fixed fact*, and much superior to those of wood. Paper houses have long since • their novelty, and almost every irnevery ■

agitable small article of common service been formed^ut of paper. In short, where will tlie A of paper end? Men. ] and they are ndw enthusiasts, predict 1 that the day is not far distant when. < from the solid and hardened pulp.eVcry- i thing will bo manufactured that is now ( maim from wood and iron. Thus wo . at least in the case of tlie former. , nature always preserves the bal- 1 anoe of compensation. Our forests are fast going— at tho present rate of dev truction some even of those now living , see tlie end of them. But already, most of tho purposes to which «e the place, la many ■5J3?i£S£ really better than the wood. It is alless expensive and. in most instances. will last much longer. It can.

And yet it is a comparatively little while since this fabric began to be 1 used for other than writing and wrapping purposes. As to paper itself, it j may be said to be absolutely inexhaustible, far there is fefudly any material, from wood. rags, husks, peat, or turf, , and weeds togutta percha. from ' which It cannot bo made.

We t are reminded of the Delaware Bay— the | atr comet to us breezily, with a senre cf f purity and sweetness; the soil is aamly. c and tbe hilla are spotted with pine and ] radar. They are scattered up the plateau a and grey rocks as though on s tedious , journey over the hills. < . Small birch trees hover low among the j sand drifts, and some are almost enveloped t in SBDd clouds that continually sweep o'er | tbe dreamy scene. There, as if out smile , on tbe saddened face of nature, is^a rustic < little cbureh. There it stands with the . man of ages on ita walls, hovering among ] wire grass snd sand drift*, peering out of , its loneliness upon the great hay, in deso- | late peace, in solitary joy. We are slowly ■ ' creeping along up the mystic fiver. Bald | rocks seem now to close upon us, and , lowering hills lave bat a apan between. "Oh! it's getting chill and dark," says : ' a lady. Yes. we are down deep In the ; bowels of earth, and weeping rocks damp t the wind and chill the air. Great naked , iicighta of bleak granite abut out the light , - and warmlli of day.

As if imping out of a watery grave into 1 the broad world, we puddenly enter a - broad expanse called by the Aborigines 0 " Laughing Water," now known aa " Ha ! Ha! Bay."
