r AS OLD DRE1M STOUT. One inowy winter night an Englith farmer cimed Robert Crtwrlght, Bitting with bis wife before a bUaing fire of oak wood, fancied tht be beard the faint bleating of a ibeep 'outside his door, and, amlou fur hi flock, took bU lantern and went to look for tUe poor creature. No sheep wu there, however, bnt inilead, close agaiutt the door-Jam, a banket lined with wool and covered wllu a blauket, In which lay a very young child. ...... Tbere were fooUtepi in the mow which led up to the door, and other steps which led away from it. Holding bi lantern low, the farmer followed those until tbey ceased abruptly be aido the marglu of the river, which lay at the foot of bis laud. Lifting bia lantern over hi head the K'hxI nltn shouted aloud half a dozvu times: "Hullol" he cried, bullo!" but the deep ailence of the winter night aloue answered Jiim. Aa he stood listening in vain, a abudder ran through bit itout frame. Hit imagination nlctured a youug woman, trembling, unhappy, ibame-etrickon, who, having laid her infant at hi door, bad iped away toward this dark water to bide her woo within ita bosom.

Fishermen and sailors are proverbially snporstitious, and those of the cast of Scotland are no exception to this general rule. Great ceremonies were observed at the lauuching of a now boat, and the greatest care had to avoid doing any thing that might briug ill luck to the boat or tho fishing. The boats were liable to be atloeted by an evil eye or an ill foot, liko any land undertaking, but tliero were evil lullueiices to be dreaded that were lm-al in thoir application, for instance it was believod to be unlucky to have a white stone among the ballast, but this was only in some villages. Great care had to be taken to avoid any one who was believed In Iiava nil "ill.fiMit." and. if any one got this reputation, ho was dreaded and shunned by all his neighbors. There is an amusing story told of two men in one village who both had the unonviable rep utation of having an ill-foot without be ing thomselvcs awaro of it. They both set;out oarly to arouse the village for tho fishing, and each mooting the other and knowing his ill-reputo, they both turned back, so that a Ado morning's fishing was lost to tho village. Indeod there were an manv iin tnvanl circumstances that might prevent the success of the fishing that it is quite a marvel how they ever contrived to catch any fish at all. When we road thut a fisherman would have returned, under fear of being drowned, if nno null uil liim wllftrfl llO WBS gO- It WUJ vi n u 1. . . ..... - .. j ing as he went down to his boat, one cannot but wonder how he ever contrived to eludo that vory natural inquiry. But oddor still was the ban put on certain words, as will be seen from tho following extracts from McGregor's "Folk-lore:" "When at sea the words 'minister,' 'kirk,' 'swine,' 'salmon, 'trout,' 'dog,' and certain family name wero nover pronouncod by tho inhabi tants of some of the villages, each vil- l.,r... I.uvinir nn av'rninn to one or moro of tho words. When Jhe word 'kirk' had to bo used, and thoro was often occasion to do so, from several of the churches being used as landinorks, the word 'boll houso,' or 'bell-'oose,' was substituted. The minister was called 'the man wi' tho black qnyto.' A minister in a boat at se was lookod upon with muoh misgiving. Ho might be another Jonah. It was acoountod unlucky to utter the word 'sow' or 'swine.or.pig,' particularly .ii.rinir tlm limn when the lino was being baited; it was sure to be lost if ony ono was unwise enough to speak the banned word. In some of the villages on tho ooost of Fifo, if the word is mentioned in the hoaring of a fisherman, he cries out 'Cold iron.' Evon in church the words are uttered whon the olergyman reads the miracle about tho Gadorene swinery. Saturday Reviow. UO IVft I LI DIIU1I .UD I UUliO 11 v.

The groat problem, whetlior or not ce lestial bodies beside our own planet aro or in past agos havo boon inhabited by animate beings, must be a subjoct of the deepest interest to evory thinking being. This question has for some timo past boon answered in the affirmative with groat probability. The complete analogy of physical conditions which have boen proved to exist in some othor planets of our solar syBtom, anu wuiuu, doubt, must also occur in innumerable planets of othor solar systems, allowed tho very probablo deduotion that not only on our own earth a higher organic procoss of evolution has taken place. Still, this conclusion by analogy had hitherto remained a simplo, unproved hypothesis, although supported by good evidence. But now at last it scorns that we have obtained a direct answor w vm nuestion.and that wo are able to see with our own evos tho voritable remains of onlmato b'oings from another oolestial iVl'ias boon conclusively demonstrated that the moteorio storos which from time to time drop down on the earth, havo at no timo formed a part of tnia plonot, and it is now generally oonceded that they are the romains of othor celes tial bodies probaby those of a destroyed plauot. , In shell moteorio stones, and especi ally in the class called "chrondntes on account of tho peculiar inolosnres found in them, the eminent German ge ologist, Dr. Kahn, has recently discov ered an entire series of organio remains. By a laborious process of grinding down and polishing those fragments he suc ceeded in producing a large nurabor of thin lominiu or delicate stone shavings, which he subjected to a careful series or investigation under most powerful micro scopes.
